the order about little details" he had filed one of the most curious dis patches in the annals of the New York Police Department. It glittered with gems for Rosalie Le Grange.

Beyond doubt, he had found the "old family servant" mentioned in the telegram of instruc- ton and mllked him dry.

 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here. water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice, com, bined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity.

At Georgetown the mining outlook for 1916 in a number of the mines tributary to Georgetown indicates an increased production over previous years.

 Reports of the discovery of tung sten multiply as winter advances toward spring. The latest comes from SaIida, where 1t Is stated that there is great excitement over a tungsten strike four miles south of that city.
 Good tidings continue to come from Mineral hill, in the Cripple Creek dis. trict, whereitis reported that at point not far from the northern boundary line of the city of Cripple Greek one of the richest surface discoveries Of record has been made. Assays of the rich streak gave returns ranging from s22.GO to as high as s96 ton. The name of the claim is the "Patten Hole" and it is located near the Laura Lee mine.

you were dead, from the stable, .1d you revived and spoke to me when they brought you in the door? Do you remembsr-Margy dear? The tele- gram from Detective Hawley had in formed Rosalie that the baptismal name of Miss Estrilla-or Miss Perez was Margarita; and that her mother used the name in its English form and her father in Spanish.
 Do you remember. Margy dear?" repeated the voice of the spirit" through the entranced lips Of Rosalie L5 Grange.
 Yes" said Miss Estrilla. so sud denly that it nearly shook Rosalie out of the trance. T remember. mother dear. What was his name-tiat horse?"
 C'Still little skeptical; but It's the last gasp. I'll fix her right now. Lucky I've got iti" said the mind Of Rosalie Le Grange working rapidly behind her mask)
 We had Billy and-but it wasn't he-it was that black horse Vixen which you would ride against my wishes." said the voice. Rosalie heard Miss Estrilla heave long sigh; heard her settle herself against the pillowr as though quite overborne by emotion.
 But Rosalie did not proceed directly along the road of treacheries which she was travelling. Victoria went away with the capricious suddenness of all Rosalie's spirit friends. The voice of Laughing-Eyes, the child control. burst in. Upon Miss Estrilla Rosalie used Laughing-Eyes sparingly. With an ignorant and overimpressionable sit. ter she was an invaluable feature, this Laughing-Eye To person of great. CT discernment. the child impersona- ton was likely to be ridiculous. Rosa. lie usually employed her. therefore. only to fiji ih the chinks. to occupy the time while she vas thinking.
 Lady is gone." said Laughing Eyes. Pretty lady. Another spirii-oh-I see pretty things! They shine-oh- go away. Come back!, No, he will no: stay" she paused here.
 And now Miss Estrilla spoke again. ana m such tone that Rosalie knew she might hurry to her climax.
 Cant you bring him back. Laugh. ing-Eyes?" she said. "Oh, please bring him back Tell him, oh. tell him that I am not angryi" A dry sob shook the silences of the room.
 No. He is afraid And he is weak in sp!rit!" babbled Laughing-Eyes Maybe he will come again-maybe!" And Laughing Eyes giggled and bab bled of Miguel and Victoria and a dozen spirits impertinent to Miss Els. trilla. Yet always in her babblings she seemed to hold the atmosphere of truth; she referred casually and in remote ways to a dozen facts sbou, Miss Estrilla's family and her past Presently her voice died away; and Rosalie lay silent and impassive. wait ing for Miss Estrilla to wake her.

The Final Test.

Under the pretense that hey chse.- sion was driving her. that she had bottled 1t up too long, that "it just had to come out Of her." Rosalie Le Grange multiplied the seances witlI Miss Es- trilla to the point of danger and in- caution
 On the second day after the eession in which Miss Estrilla had tried the test of the fictitious revolver. she was back again. This time-having assur- ance that this was the true line of at tack-she brought both Victoria and Miguel. Victoria, according to Doctor Carver, was the stronger; she spoke much, though vaguely. Miguel dropped only few phrases-now Spanish, now English. During this session Miss Els trilla never moved nor spoke But Rosalie. daring a look at her through her long lashes. perceived that her attitude was tense, rapt

 At Carrizozo. it is stated that a very rich body of gold ore has lately been struck in the North Homestake mine, which, with the fact that the tungsten is still holding out, makes iL very encouraging for the new owners, the White Oaks Consolidated.
