WOMAN BOOTLEGGER
 ARRESTED MONDAY
LETTER POSTED AT FL PAso IN
 STRUCTS MATILDA LAMAS TO
 PROCURE EXPRESS SHIPMENT B, OF WET GOODS.

For some days past Sheriff Slaugh- ter has been keeping his eagle eye on suspicious package which arriv- ed at Wells Fargo & Company ex- press office several days ago. the shippiisg address being one not known here. It was the intention of the Sheriff to nab his man when he came for the package. Monday his vigilance was rewarded when the package was called for, but it was woman he .pprehended instead of the man to whom the package was shipped.
 Mrs. Matilda Lamas, wife of Man uel Lanas, who resides on Chase Creek, presented letter to the ex- press agent from person in Fl Paso, or at least the letter was post ed in that city, telling her to call at the express office for the shipment and hold it until his arrival some time later. The letter also author. ized the agent to deliver the pack age to the Lamas woman.
 Sheriff Slaughter took the woman into custody. and formally lodged a complaint against her, charging her with violating the prohibition laws of the state, also taking the package in his care, which was discovered to con- tain two cases of whiskey.
 A complaint has been filed against the person who is alleged to have shipped this whiskey here from El Paso, and the officers of that city have been instructed to place him un. der arrest.
 After being arrested the woman made bond for her appearance at the next term of the superior court, and was released
 Manuel Lamas, so the members oi the Sheriff's force state, has been ar rested on previous occasions for the offense of bootlegging, and it is the supposition of the sheriffs department that it was the intention of Manuel tc again embark in his line of profiteer ing. by using the contents of thf. shipment of wet goods for commer cial purposes.
 After the. arrest of the woman tn, officers went in search of Manue L-amas, but they state that he ha disappeared, and cannot be located. |

 Mrs. w. B. Mitchell and son, Del, ',c visitors U Ei Pas. this W" 'k Tn Times of ;ast Wednesday had the fo':i ing to sa about the visit of Del t. Il at city:
 Del Mitchell, one of the youngest as we'll as the most enterprising of the Times Agents in Arizona is here from Clifton, escorting his mother, Mrs. W. B. Mitchell, who is in Fl Paso on shopping trip.
 Del has established a new record for prompt delivery of the Times at Clifton and results of his efforts are already apparent in a substantial in- crease in the number of subscrib- CTS. He is assisted in his delivery work by four well-trained boys, and so systematically is the work carried out that the last paper is delivered to the subscribers within 45 minutes after the arrival of the train bearing the papers. Speed and accuracy is young MitcheIl's motto and it is mak ing big hit with Times subscribers at Clifton"

NEW BANK ID OPEN FOR BUSINESS
 MARCH $
PEoPLEs' BANK & TRUST COM PAINTS BUILDING NEARING COMPLETION. WILL BE ONE OF THE HANDSOMEST BANKS IN GREENLEE COUNTY.

The new building on Chase Creek, which is tc be the new home of the Peoples Bank & Trust company, is nearing completion. The main building, which was erected by Con- tractor Black, has been finished, and the remainder of the work will be done by the contractor who has the contract for placing the fixtures, set ting the vault doors, and laying the tie flooring in the large lobby Of the bank.
 The gentleman who has the contract to put the finishing touches on this new home of the Peoples Bank and Trust company, is now in the city, and Will complete his work in 3 short while. The building which is one of the handsomest structures n the city, is 31 by A feet in dimensions. It is two stories, the front being of plate glass and mottled -Elgin brick, with large prism glass windows above the awning The lobby floor will be iu white tile,t with black tile border log. .be main floor is concrete. It will be fitted up with the most mod ern bank fixtures. Above the vault will. be arranged directors room, there being ample space, as the vault is large and roomy and ceiling high A stairway will lead to this from the rear of the interior.
 Besides all the modern conveniences of well directed hank building, this one Will contain ladies rest room, in which will be toilet and lavatory. This of itself will fill a want that has been felt in Clifton. Business men as a rule fail to consider the com F1~4. or1 oonuoniouooc of ladies wis., iting the town in the arrangements Of their business places, through thoughtlessness. They do not realize the weariness of day spent in town where a lady is a stranger, by a req son of the absence of some place where they can go and rest, and have the privacy of their own home. This obstacle was considered in the planning of the home of The Peoples Bank & Trust company, and here after there will be place for the ladies to stop and rest while visit lrg Clifton for the day, without the necessity Of going 70 hotel
 The second story of the building is reached by broad stairway This floor has been fitted up into five modern offices, with all the conven- |, fences to be found in places much larger than Clifton. Just who will occupy these offices is not known al tlus time, except Attorney C.. Hooker will maintain law office in one oi these. while it is probable that Con tractor Black will also occupy another
 Mir. E. H. Green, who will be the cashier of the Peoples Bank & Trust Company, arrived in the city last Saturday night. He will be in charge of the institution. MT. Green comes to Clifton from the New England Bank of Kansas City, and is a most affs ble gentleman. The people oi Clifton will accord him and family g most cordial welcome.

COUNCIL
 ENROLLING PUPILS
SCHOOLS PARTlClPAT- ING IN THE WAR THROUGH PA TRIOTIC WORK OF THE COUN- GIL OF DEFENSE.

GIL OF DEFENSE.
 The schools of Arizona gradually are coming into a degree of partici- patton in the war. Patriotism and pa- triotic service are being taught in every school room. If there be an exception, it's community should see to it's correction. While Arizona is still remote from the struggle her children must be taught that the war has become defense of a great world religion of democfHcy, for which all Americans must be ready to die, if need be-, that their child ren may live and be free. Pupils of Arizona schools are being enrolled in the Union Membership of the Red Cross, which is expected to have 22,- 900, 900 membership within the na- tion. There has been great interest in diversion of the savings of the children into patriotic channels. Thrift stamps find their readiest sale among the children and have caused the emptying of many a non-interest- paying mental bank. One instance of the character of such school activi- ties comes from Winslow, where the girls of the North Grammar school have bought two $10O Liberty Bonds and have invested $32 in Thrift Stamps, these on school account. The Hast bond was bought through the proceeds of a dinner at the school, served by the girls led by Su- pervisor May Anderson, the supervis- or of cooking.
 Glasses for the Navy, to help find periscopes and thus save American lives, continue to come into the off ces of the Arizona Council of De. fense, where all that are offered will be tagged carefully and sent on to Washington. There will be official acknowledgment by the Navy De partment of every loan made. The latest shipment made by the Council included glasses brought in by W. M. Cross, J. c. Reed, George Gam, F. E. Jones, John J. Casson and Mrs. E. Hanson.

R. K. Minson, of his city, Food Ad ministrator for Greenlee county, ha yust received the following ruling. from Federal Food Administrator fo Arizona:
 "Beginning February 24th, 1t will be mandatory for all bakers to use 20 per cent substitute for wheat flour in the manufacture of bread and rolls. Those who wiIfuIly refuse will be, compelled to close their stores.
 "AII bakeries and eating houses establishments using three or more barrels of flour per month are required to take out license. If they have not secured their Ii- cense or applied for same, they should make application at once dire ct to the License Department of the Food Administration, Wash inGton, D. c. A government Ii- cense will cost them nothing, but unless they obtain one, it may be the cause of their place of busi ness heinz closed. In any event their supply of licensed commodi- ties named in the Presidents Proclamation will be cut off. The above establishments are permit ted to buy wheat flour in the ration of four pounds of flour to one pound of official substitutes"

CHAPTER XXI.
Three Travellers Come Home.

ESfeban Nafona made slow progress toward recovery. In the weeks follow ing 0Reilly's departure from Cubitas his gain was steady, hut beyond q eer- tain point he seemed unahle to 20. Then he began to lose strength. Este ban awoke 10 the fact that he was los ing ground, and his dismay was keen, for wonderful thing had come into his life and he spent much of his time in delicious contemplative day dreams concerning it. waiting for the hour when he would dare translate those dreams into realities. It seemed to him that he had always loved Norine: cer- tainlY she had enshrined herself in his heart long before his mind had re- gained it's clarity, for he had come out of his delirlous wanderings with his love full grown.
 The time came finally when he could no longer permit the girl to deceive herself CT him with her brave assump- ton of cheerfulnesS. Norine had just told him that he was doing famously, but he smiled and shook lis weary head.
 Let's be honest" he said. You know and 1 know that I can't get we'll"
 You mustn't be discouraged" she told him. earnestly. Remember this is trying climate and we have nothing to do with. Even the food is wretched. I'm going to take you away
 Esteban stroked her hand softly. "You can't do that, Miss Evans. You have been wonderful to me and I can't begin to express my gratitude" No rine stirred, but he retained his grasp of her fingers, gaining courage from the contact to proceed. q have been trying for a long time to tell you some thing. Will you listen?"
 Not now" she exclaimed. with a visible lessening of color. Don't bother to tell me now"
 i've waited too long; I must speak. You have stayed on here just to nurse me Isn't that true?"
 She nodded somewhat doubtfully.
 Now, then, you must stop thinking about me and-make your arrange ments to go home."
 There was a moment of silence. "Yes You see, I know how tired you are of this misery. this poverty, this hopeless struggle You're not a Cuban and our cause isn't yours. Expeditions come from the United States every now and then and the government will see that you are put safely aboard the first 4I., fn rrnf we'll somehow"

KEPT TAX-GATHERER BUSY
Imposts Were Levied on Almost Ev- erything in England a Century
 and a Half Ago.

It is interesting to note that the en- tertainment tax of the present day was anticipated over 150 years ago by the inventive genius who proposed that all places of public diversion, including playhouses, operas, masquer- ades, Ranelagh. Vauxhall. Sadler's Wells and Astley's-the famous re- sorts of the fair and the fashionable of his day-should be taxed says Lon don Tit-Bits Another proposal was that the very statues in the gardens and the lakes and the groves, the grottoes and the temples of those days were thick set with statues of heath en gods and goddesses-should have price put upon their heads.
 Time was when taxes were put on the watches attached to the seals that dangled from the fobs of the beaux or hung on the girdles that encircled the waists of the belles. Those who own ed clocks were also regarded as fit subjects for special taxation.
 The ''guinea-pig" tax-the tax a householder had to pay for every per son in his household who wore a pig tail and covered his hair with powder had its day and passed away. So, too, had a tax on soap-the impost that gave Lord North his nickname of "Old Soapsuds"-and tax on salt. Gloves and mittens were once taxed,

 "Psetl You are there?" It was Mo- rin himself.
 Hastily the three piled aboard. Morin bent to his oars and the skiff shot out You were not observedYn he inquired.
 "No."
 Morin rowed In silence for time.
 When do you sail?" 0'Reilly asked
 At dawn. God permitting. You will have to remain hidden and you mustn't even breathe"
 He brought the skiff alongside bat tered old schooner. and his passengers clambered aboard. There was a tiny cabin aft and on it. sheltered from the night dew by loose fold of the main sail. were two sleeping men. The new corners followed Morin down into the evil little cabin. where he warned them in a hoarse whisper:
 Not sound. mind you. If anyone comes aboard. you must shift for your selves. Creep into the hold and hide. Of course. if we are searched" He

muttered something, then groped his way out on deck, and closed the hatch behind him.
 Now that they had actually en- parked upon this enterprise and the girl had given herself entirely into his hands. now that an imminent peril en- compaSSed them both. Johnnie felt that Rosa belonged to him more absolutely more completely, than at any time heretofore, so he held her close. Rosa lay relaxed against her lovers shoul- der and in halting murmurs interrupt cd many times by careSses, she told O'Reilly of her need for him, and her utter happiness. It was the fullest hour of their lives.
 With daylight, Morin routed out his men. There WAS q sleepy muttering the batter of bare feet upon the deek above. then the creak of blocks as the sails were raised. A few moments, then there came hail which brought their hearts into their throats Morin him self answered the call.

 O'Rei1y peeped through a dirt stained cabin window and saw that the yolandra was slipping past the stern of the ironclad, so he withdrew his head quickly.
 Of course this was but one danger past and there were many more ahead. for Morins schooner was liable to be stopped ny anx of the numerous patrol boats on duty to the eastward. Never theless. when an anxious hour had gone by and she was well out toward the harhor mouth. the refugees told one another they were safe.

Morin. the Fisherman.


 When Rosa Narona regained con- sciousness sufficiently to understand what had happened she proved herself a person of no little self-control. It was she. in fact, who first voiced the fear that Cobo dead was scarcely less a menace than Cobo alive.
 .'What are we going to do with himP' she inquired.
 Jacket too, appreciated the dangers of the situation. "We must get rid of him quickly" said he, "for his men are close by; he will be missed and there will be a search
 T don't intend to make him pres ent of that treasure" O'Reilly said, grimly. 'sIt is our only salvation"
 But how are we going to hide himT Jacket inquired. "One might as well try to conceal church; oxen couldn't hoist him out of that hole"
 Precisely! He has made our work easy for us. We can't take more than a small part of the money with us. any how; the rest will have to lie here un- til the war is over We'll We shall leave Cobo on guard over what re mainsi"
 Jacket was immensely pleased with this idea. once he had grasped it. "What could be better?" he cried. "The mans spirit is evil enough to frighten

My brother Esteban is sick. He is frail little lad with q crooked back. God will reward you"
 'Perhaps! But how much will you pay?"
 "Ten Spanish sovcreigns like this all that have"
 "No! It is not enough"
 O'Reilly took Jackets hand and turned away. "fm sorry" he said. T wish might offer you more" He had taken several steps before Morin hailed him.
 "Come back tomorrow" the fsher- man cried, grossly. We will try to talk like sensible people"
 The brothers Yillar were hack at Morins fish stand on the following afternoon and they returned daily thereafter until they at last prevai ed over the Spaniard's fears and won his promise of assistance. That much ac= complished, they made several cautious purchases. q coat here. q shirt there. a pair of trousers in another place, until they had assembled q complete boy's outfit of clothing.
 At first Rosa refused absolutely to desert her two faithful negro friends. and OReilly won her consent to con sider his plan of escape only after he had put the matter squarely up to Asensio and his wife and after both had refused to enter into it.
 Then, and not until then, did Rosa begin her preparations. First she made Evangelina cut her hair. sacrilege that wrung sighs and tears and loud lamentations from the black woman, after which she altered the suit of boys clothing to fit her figure, or rath- CT 10 conceal it.
 When at las, she put it on for O'Reil- lY.s approval she was very shy. very self-conseious. and so altogether un- boylille That he shook his head posi- lively.
 My dear you'll never do,p he told her. You are altogether too pretty"
 But wait until I put that hideous hump upon my back and stain my face, then you will see how ugly can look. 3
 "Perhaps." he said, daubtfully. \ moment, then his frown frightened. You give me thought" said he. You shall wear the jewels"
 Wear them? How?n
 "On your back, in that very hump. It will be the safest possible way to con- ceal them."
 Rosa elapped her hands in delight. "Why, of eoursel It is the very thing. Wait until I show you"
 Profting by her first moment alone -Eyangelina and her husband being still in ignorance of the contents of the treasure box-Rosa made bundle out of the jewels and trinkets and fas- tened it securely inside her coat. After a few experiments she adjusted it to her liking, then called 0Reilly once more. This time he was better satis- fled. An application of Evangelina' s stain to darken her face, a few tatters and a liberal application of dirt to the suit, and he declared that Rosa would pass anywhere as a boy.
 There came a night when the three of them hade geod-by to their black companions and slipped away across the city to that section known as Pueb- To Nuevo, then followed the road along the water front until they found shel- ter within the shadows of rickety structure which had once served as q bath house.
 The refugees waited a long time they were beginning to fear that old Morin's nerve had weakened at the

Gas Masks and vthiskers.

To be clean shaven or bearded like the pard is the alternative presented to the German first-line troops. The reason is the gas mask. Some au- thorities hold that the mask cannot be relied upon to protect any but clean shaven faces; others again hold that dense hirsute growth within the mask acts as an additional air filter. But it must be a real patriarchal beard no mere or 14 days bristles, says an article in the Deutsehe Tageszei- tung. The writer holds that the full beard Is peculiarly TeutOnic attri- bute, and should be cultivated as such. Besides, according to ancient tradi- tions. it adds to "frightful aspect" he naively adds. Gas tests at the front in airtight cubieles are carried out every fortnight, and full-bearded men testify to the additional security af- forded by their boards.
