WHEN A WOMAN REACHES FIFTY

Being not 10 young as you were is
not all loss. If maturity Of years Is
an ailment, then youth is another. To
be fifty years old is to have made a
fairly complete recovery from the all
ment of youth, and that II no small
achievement. It is not everybody that
does it. The person who remembers
statistics will tell you what portion
of us struggling people succumb to
youth and it's mischances and hard.

places, the swiftest descents, are apt

inaries and has ben able perhaps to
bring down some cargo with him. It
is, or used to be, a fashion to sigh for
lost youth, and there are people who
do sincerely mourn for it. Women, es-
pecially, who have had full measure
Of youthful beauty, part with it, usual
ly, with signs of reluctance. Gray
hair seldom pleases them; they don't
like wigs; the "ravages Of time" are
real and sad to them, and they repair

admired and courted for it is, no
doubt, a very considerable stimulate.

comes from living, in the fuller under

able women who have had q chance

lust LUCK"
~ CHARLES GORDON ROSS.

An open-air vaudeville show was .
novelty for Quartzville and drew big
crowds. The cowboys and rustlers
from neighboring territory rode in en-
masse. The less demonstrative citi-
GENT took 1t enjoyably, but quietly.
TO the rougher outside element of
the district it was q period for gem
eral jollification.
Dan Purnell was an attendant en-
regle. He had some money to spend,
and he lavished it on pretty Mollie
Dion until she demonstrated.
Don't discount the future, DAM"
she said in her pretty, practical way.
Remember, you are not sure of your
great fortune"
"Ain't, eh?" challenged good-natured,
optimistic Dan proudly. why, once
ACROSS the bad lands l could find Tink-
er's creek blindfolded."
Eyes, DEAR" argued Mollie; ''but
what if the story told you by your
dead partner should turn out all a
sick mans fancy? Suppose the big
bag Of nuggets has been found by
some passer-by?"
II won't have it, Mollie!" declared
Dan, definitely. II feel it in my bones
that, / am going to be rich. Your IA

"Yes, DAN,
"And has consented to our getting
married as soon as / get back?"
THAT is true, Dam" acquiesced Mol
lie.

bag of nuggets back to civilization,

aroused in the sturdy miner.
Whack-whack! his fist shot out,
then seven shots of flame, and heed.
ing not who met the onslaught, Dan
drove through the shrieking mob and,
followed by a harmless fusillade, made
good his escape.
Dan reached the end of his journey
without further obstruction or delay.
It vas daylight when he came to the
spot where his dead partner had hid
den the golden results of six months
grubbing over a placer field. Within
an hour Dan gloomily realized that
someone had anticipated him.
He had precisely located the burrow
under q fiat stone where the gold had
rested. There was the outline of the
distracted bag in the soft dirt under
meath, and one or two loose nuggets
"Gone-robbed!" gasped Dan, in
sheer stupefaction, and it took him
several hours to comprehend that to
search for the lost bundle would be
like looking for a needle in a hay
stack.

hurried to a copse, where he was ar

the tribe. Dan had disabled three OF

It was while they were searching

Dan had forgotten all about.

I'm thinking" chuckled Dan, half ar
hour later.
For, driving away the others and
betraying the deepest interest in the
picture, which seemed to arouse vivid
emotions, the young chief soon made
it manifest that he had recognized the
photograph as that Of an Indian maid
en- he had loved and lost sight of. He
must find her, he eagerly declared, al
all hazards and at any cost!
Dan bargained well for his services
and the young chief had an opulenr
store Of gold nuggets. :
Dan secured a goodly share of thu

lovers, and the fact that a kind act
had led to all this good fortune gave
quite'a romantic tinge to the wedding
at which Mollie was the bride.

"You dear fellow!" murmured Mol
lie, and did not demonstrate further
on the prodigality Of her liberal es-
cort when he took in five side shows
in turn.
Haven't we seen all there is to
see, DAM" inquired Mollie, finally tir-
ing of the hustle and excitement about
them.
"Just as you say" replied Dan.
"You mean old hulk!" he shouted sud-
denly, and sprang away from the side
of his fancee, and made for a great
lout Of q fellow who, staggering by,
gave a side stand a vicious kick that
sent its contents scattered about the
ground for twenty feet.
Dan delivered a blow that sent the
drunken cowboy s%prawling, advanced
again upon him and all but caught
him in a deadening rap under the a
as the craven sneaked away.
The stand the poltroon had upset
was the possession of a comely young
Indian girl. She looked mournful and
friendless, but her lips moved in graf,
itude as both Mollie and Dan helped
her gather up the scattered beaded
moccasins and shell boxes that COM
prised her little stock in trade. Dan
purchased half a dozen dainty sous
venirs for Mollie. AS the change for
q gold piece was handed to him BY
the Indian girl he thrust it back, with
the words:
I'll take one Of your photographs
for that, young lady" and thrust the
card into his pocket with the adden1
dunn: III you won't get Jealous, Mol
ue."
Before daylight next morning Dan
was mounted on his horse, bound for
Tinker's creek. Mollie looked I'M
ious and her father troubled, as with
his usual buoyancy Dan predicted his
speedy return.
Look out for the Wenatchees.
DAN warned the old a Word

It took Dan six. days hard travel
to cross the country to Tinker's

thirty miles meant q safe arrival at

HOTEL SEA VIEW
 IS RAIDED AGAIN
Proprietor and Fifteen Diners Are
 Placed Under Arrest

New Haven, June 26.-As fifteen persons dined in the grill room of the Hotel Sea View, on Beach street, Savin Rock, last night, Sergeant Bridgman, of the state police, with a squad of four officers entered the house and placed all those present under arrest.
 Coming as it did after a similar police visit only about four weeks ago the raid created quite a furore among the crowd at the shore. At the time of the first raid, it will be rem mber- ed both Thomas Dunlea, proprietor of the hotel, and L5 wife were ar rested on charges of unlawful selling. When the cases were heard in the borough court Mrs. Dunlea was fined $200 and costs. Dunlea received a nolle in his case. Consequently he was issued a judges certificate by the Orange town court. Mrs. Dunlea was not arrested last night.
 Charged both with illegal selling of liquor and with keeping a disor- derly house, Thomas Dunlea was ar rested, while the fifteen patrons who were in the hotel were taken into custody on charges of frequenting a licensed place at unlawful hours. All those concerned were released on bail. Judge Charles J. Martin, associate judge of the town court. received the bonds.
 The raid was made at the bequest of the West Haven liquor prosecutor, George w. Adams.
