The error

When BrouiIlard reached the side. walk the upper avenue was practically deserted. But in the eastern residence district, and we'll around to the north, new storm-centers were marked by the increasing number of fires. Brouillard stopped and faced toward the distant and invisible Timanyonis A chill au tumn breeze was sweeping down from the heights and the blockading wall of the great dam turned 1t into eddies and dust-pillared whirls dancing in the empty street.
 Young Griffith sauntered up with his Winchester in the hollow of his arm.
 Anything new?" he asked.
 No" said Brouillard. T was just thinking that a little wind would go long way tonight, with these crazy house-burners loose on the town" Then he turned and walked rapidly to the government headquarters, passed the sentry at the door of the mapping room; and out of the fireproof vault where the drawings and blueprint duplicates were kept took small tin dispatch box.
 He had opened the box and had transferred slip of paper from it to the leathercovered pocket field book which served him for a wallet, when there was a stir at the door and Cast. ner hurried in, looking less the clergy man than the hardworking peace of ficer

 Good. Then Miss Amy got word to you? was just about to deliver her message"
 Miss Massingale? Where is she and what was the message?" demand ed Brouiliard
 Then you haven't heard? The Lit tie Susan is in the hands of a sheriff's posse, and David Massingale Is under arrest on some trumped-up charge selling ore for his individual account or something of that sort. Miss Amy didn't go into particulars. but she told me that she had heard the sheriff say 1t was penitentiary offense."
 "But where is she now?" stormed Brouillard
 "Over at the hotel. supposed you knew; you said you were going there"
 Brouillard snatched up the dispatch box and flung it into the flreproof While he was locking the door Castner went in search of Grislow. and when Brouillard faced about. another man stood in the misSionary's place by the mapping table. It was MT. J. Wesley Cartwright.
 The gray-faced promoter had lost something of his old-time jaunty assur- ance. and he was evidently well shaken and unnerved by the sights and sounds of the night of terror. The sandy gray eyes advertised 1t as well as the fat hands, which would not keep still.
 "I didn't think I'd have to ask favor of you again. Brouillard, but needs must when the devil drives" he began, with an attempted assumption of his former manner. We didn't know the newspapers didn't tell us any thing about this frightful state of af- fairs, and"

Vogue for Ribbon.

The picturesque style of dress of today necessitates the use of ribbons for decorative purposes, and so beautiful are they that 1t would seem as though women could never have enough of them. Sometimes entire skirts are composed of them, as we'll as hats. They are used for sashes, draperies, muffs and stoles. Again, they are convert ed into pretty little boleros, and the new suggestions in neck wear are fashioned of them. Diminutive bows are seen on the front of stockings, and then there are the rosebud garters, as well as latticework ones, in which small ribbc,. flowers are strewn with artistic negligence.

which labor OF a remuneratlve character
could be found for many hundreds of the

This board has devoted much thought to
it and has the assurance of Supernten =

of the best interests of hundreds Of the

matter of regret to this board and must

to the state and inhumane in respect to
the rights and interests OF its unfortunates.
time it was hailed into court that such a
condition obtained in Denver. 1t had as
sumed that the same spirit Of kindness,
the same consideration, the same care
for these unfortunates were provided for
them by Denver as by all the other and
even the less populous counties of the
state. But, when medical authorities
took the stand in behalf Of the city and
county of Denver and testified to the in
adequate, inhumsne and unsanitary pro-
visions for the insane by Denver, the
board made an investg gation at the asy-
um with the view OF discovering some
method of relief The books of the in
stitution revealed the fact that Denver
had at the institution every patient to
which it was entitled by the proportional
representation rule of the board. We
have IN mind the interests Of those within
our keeping and always the picture be-
fore Us of eleven hundred and ninety un-
fortunates whose condition makes it OBJ
well housed. well fed, physically exerois-
ed and cared for as we should care for
dependents within our own homes.
1t has been urged that three beds may
be placed in rooms now containing two.
Physically that might be dope but having
deep concern for those within our keep
ing we say it should not be done. and
unless compelled by law that shall
leave the board powerese. such crowd
ing shall not be done.
We feel that the initiation Of law to
take from the board the power to say
| when the institution is filled to capacity
would be a dangerous experiment. The
Twentieth general assembly made pro-
vision not only for the needs of the ad-
ministration respecting this nstit ution,
but had to make up for the neglect of
past general assemblies. Is it too much
to forecast that some future general as
sembly will :ail. as did the Eighteenth
and Nine teenth, to make adequate pro-
vision for the care of the ever-growing
number Of insane? Should that happen
and the board be then deprived of the
power to control the population of the
institution, we shudder to contemplate
the condition OF the inmates already
there.
Finally, it has been our hope that it
would not be necessary to build more
