High Lime Canal Ramcher Raises
 First Of CotGona

R. B. Standard, a homesteader on the High Line canal believes that he has brought in the first long staple cotton for the Salt River Val ley and unless someone else can produce the goods and certificate of date he is claiming the record. In proof of his accomplishment he has presented the Phoenix Cham Der of Commerce with several bolls still attached to their stem. They have burst open and show cotton of exceptional quality for so early in the season.
 Cotton is looking exceedingly prosperous all over the valley and the prospect for early picking is said to be very good. Of course the crop will come in at different times, but to produce even a few bolls as early as August 4, which MT. Standard has done, is nota- bic accomplishment.

TRAFFIC
 |S N0W NORMAL

Traffic over the Southern Pacific became normal yesterday when a washout near Gila Bend was repaired The washout occurred several days ago during the last rain storm.
 The Gila river, already swollen from heavy rains along it's course to the east and north, broke over during the last rain and swept out a strip of track. It was necessary to use tenn porary track for a time and to run very slow. This caused trains both on the main line and trains entering Phoenix over the Arizona Eastern to be late. The railroad reported last night that all trains were running on schedule now and that traffic was normal.

New York Prosnero,,s

Not within the writer's memory have
New York hotels been so crowded,
Broadway so packed with motors, the
theaters so full of people, tickets so
hard to get, prices so high, old gener-
al prosperity so complacently stalking
down the glittering alley. 1t is safe to
say that the season of 1916-17, in New
York, was the most prosperous ever
known to the theater manager. writes
Walter Prichard Eaton in the Ameri-
can Magazine.
One day in January at II o'clock In
the morning saw seven motors stand
ing by the curb on one block Of Fifth
avenue, all Of them 1917 models. and
the cheapest of the seven costing over
$1,000 The most expensive cost at
least S10,500. two others cost at least
$1,000, and the other three, $4,000.
There was at least $4,000 worth OF
brand-new machinery, employing prob
ably a dozen men and burning up pre-
cious gasoline. for the sole purpose OF
enabling seven women 70 ride.

WANTED
TRICKS OF THE sHoPLIFTER
This New York Man Used Fishhook
and Line TO Pull Desired Article
Up Into His Sleeve.

A man walked into big New York
department store and asked to be
shown some silk petticoats, says the
Pathfinder. The average person would
have seen nothing unusual in the way
he leaned over the counter and fin
gered the silks, but to the store detec-
tive, trained to keep a sharp eye out
for crooks and light-fngered customers,
his actions appeared suspicious.
Moving casually IL his direction, she
heard him say: "These things are no
good. You see it's my wife's birthday
tomorrow and / want to get her some
ching nice. Please see If you haven't
something better" The clerk turned
to take down more petticoats from the
shelves. and while she was thus en-
gagged the detective saw a silk skirt
rise from the counter and crawl, al
most like live thing. up the volumin-
Gus sleeve of the mans coat.
She had him taken to the Office.
There four silk skirts and several
dainty, expensive pieces Of merchan-
disc were taken from his sleeves. His
method of operating was readily dis
| covered; a string with big fshhook
attached to Its end ran up his sleeve.
While he fingered over the goods. pre-
tending to examine them, he would
deity thrust the hook into whatever
pleased his fancy. Then he wouit
maneuver to take the clerks attention
away from the counter and by pullin:
on the string draw the garment up int,
his big sleeve.

CHAPTER Nv.
How It Struck Portia.

1t was just fortnight later that
Rose told her mother she was going
to marry Rodney AIdrich, thereby
giving that lady a greater shock of
surprise than, hitherto, she had ex-
perienced in the sixty years of a
tolerably eyentful life.
Rose found her neatly writing a
paper at the boudoir desk in the little
room she called her den.
Mrs. Stanton said, what, dear?"
fndifferently enough, just in mechani-
cal response of the matter-of-fact in
Election of Rosalind's voice. Then she
laid down her pen, smiled in a puzzled
way up into her daughters face, and
added: my ears must have played
me funny trick. What did you say?"
Rose repeated: Rodney Aldrich and
are going to be married"

Rose stopped brushing her hair and

told of his labors in drafting a new
city ordinance, she felt that 1t must
have been one of the most fascinat-
ing occupations in the world, I'M
til he told her how 1t had drawn him
into politics, and then how after an
election a new states attorney had Of
fered him a position on his staff of
assistants.
In a sense, Of course, It was true
that he had, as Frederick would have
put 1t, forgotten she was there.
The girl knew he had forgotten, and
her only discomfort came from the
fear that the spell might be broken
and he might remember suddenly and
stop.
In the deeper sense-and she was
breathlessly conscious of this, too
he hadn't forgotten she was there.
He was telling it all because she was
there-because she was herself and
nobody else. She knew-though how,
she couldn't have explained-with
that intuitive certainty which is the
only real certainty there is, that the
story couldn't have been evoked from
him in just that way by anyone else
in the world.
At the end of two years in the
states attorneys Office, he told her,
he figured he had his training and was
ready to begin.
II made just one resolution when /

that was that no matter how few

| of them, but servants to the underly-
ing things you want"
She tried to make a reservation
there-suppose the things you wanted
weren't good things?
But he wouldn't allow it. "What-
ever they are" he insisted, "your de-
sires are the only motive forces
you've got. No matter how fine your
intelligence is, it can't ride anywhere

The wedding was set for the first
week in June. And the decision, in
stantly acquiesced in by everybody,
was that it was to be as quiet NV as
strictly a family affair-as possible.
Indeed, the notion of even a simple
wedding into the Aldrich family left
Portia rather aghast.
But this feeling was largely allayed
by Frederica's first call. Being a cele-
brated beauty and a person of great
social consequence, didn't, it appeared,
prevent one from being human and
supplemented and altogether de-
lightful to have about. She was so
