W. T. Chisholm was suddenly re-

obligation in the matter under discus

that fact.
ITO what use would you devote the
property of Market Square church,"
he gravely asked.

and was rewarded by a snort from
Manning. Allison frankly guhawed,
The balance OF the sedate vestry was
struck dumb by the i~mpertinence.
Gail felt the eyes of the Rev. Smith
Boyd fixed steadily On her, and turned
to meet them. They were cold. She
had thought them blue; but now they
were green! She stared back into
them for a moment, and a little red
spot came into the delicate tint Of her
oval cheeks; then she turned deliber'
ately to the m~arvelously beautiful big
transept window. II had been de-
signed by the most famous stained

The gentlemen of the vestry rose
as one man. OLD Nicholas Van Ploon
even attempted to stand gracefully on

thought. they were neither one aware
Of 1t. They were glad that they were
just living, and moving swiftly in the
open air. glad that it was showing,
glad that the light was beginning to
fade. that there were other vehicles
In the park. that the world was such
a bright and happy place; and they
were quite pleased, too, to be to-
gether.
1t was still light, though the electric
lamps were beginning to flare up
through the thin snow veil when they
rounded n rocky drive. and came in

The work OF Edward Z. Allison was
well-nigh perfection. He stopped the
runabout exactly at the center Of the

youngster after a robins egg. He
helped her to alight, and would have
helped her up the hill with great
! pleasure, but she vas too nimbie and
too eager for that, and was In the
lookout house several steps ahead Of
him.
When she was quite finished with
the view, and turned and went down
the Hill, one of her tiny French heels

not been for the ironlike arm which
he threw back to support her. For
tust an instant she was thrown fairly
in his embrace, with his arm about
her waist, and her weight upon his
breast: and, In that instant, the fire
which had been s~moldering In him ali
afternoon burst into fame. With n
mighty repression he resisted the i'm
pulse to crush her to him, and handed
her to the equilibrium which she In.
stinctively sought, though the arm
trembled which had been pressed
about her. His heart sang, as he
helped her into the machine, and
sprang in beside her. He felt a av-
age Joy In his strength as he started
the car and felt the wheel under his
hard grip. He was young, younger
than he had ever been in his boyhood;
strong, stronger than he had ever
been In his youth. What worlds he
might conquer now with this new
blood racing through his veins. II
was as II he had been suddenly thrust
into the fires OF eternal life, and en-
dowed with all the vast. irresistible

PREPARING TO SINK
 SHAFT 1,500 FEET (From Wednesdays Daily)

At a meeting of directors Of the Venture Hill Mining Company at the company's offices in the Wilson block Monday night, it was decided to have Engineer John s. Reilly select such machinery as he thinks suitable for sinking shaft on the property to the depth of l,20O or 1,50O feet.
 The directors were pleased with Engineer Reilly's report last weel; that he was greatly encouraged by new findings. Indications in the tun- mel, he reported, are much better than ever before. Assays made last week from ore taken from an old 40-foot shaft which is sunk in an ore-carrying dyke show S27 in copper and S1.44 in silver It is in this dyke that the tunnel is being driven to make deter minations for the shaft.
 Directors William R. Uber, Ed. Shumate, Henry Brinkmeyer and Ed. kiehl were present at the meeting.

SEEKS NOMINATION
 ON G. O. P. TICKET
(From Fridays Daily.)

Eli s. Perkins, the Crown King merchant, who has been in Prescott for a few days on business, yester- day announced his intention of run ring in the Republican primary for the nomination of County Recorder.
 Long a resident of this county and ever a booster for it, Mir. Perkins has been identified with many projects for its upbuilding. When mining was al its low ebb, he never lost faith in the mineral resources of this section, and did as much as any one other man to bring about the present re- vival. If nominated and elected there is no question but that the people will be accorded efficient service, for he is eminently qualified to look after the duties of the office.

OLD W|LOFL0WER IN NEW HANDS
 IS ACTIVE
RECENTLY FORMED COM PANY TAKES OVER AT TRACTIVE BRADSHAW PROPERTY.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Renewed interest is manifested to. ward mining in the Crown King field by the entry of the Bradshaw Devel- cpment Company, new organization which has taken over and is actively operating the Wildhower group.
 David B. Gemmill, of the Randolph Cemmil Reduction Co.,, was the min ing engineer who appreciated the pos abilities of the holdings, more ia miliarly known as the Frank Murphy property, and supporting him in his judgment were F. s. Viele and LeRoy Anderson of this city. The new company in charge of the Wildfiowcr has a force of about ten miners em- ployed Initial operations cover the unwatering of the old workings, re- timbering the shaft, and making gem cal repairs thereto. When the ore bodies developed formerly are reach ed, the mill of the Randalph- -Gemmill Co. will go into acton with an un- limited tonnage available. Above everything else it is admitted that a permanent proposition is assured and that the mineral merits of the Brad shaws are fast approaching that ap- preciative rating as to be accorded the recognition due.
