cHAPTER !.

II lacked few minutes to by
the gilded clock in the brilliant ysi-
low salon of the Forrssters' apart
ment on the tenth floor of one Of
those great stons bastions which q
society in retrqht has erected to
stem the marclzFof the invader. Al
the first stroke of the hour, Greg
DRY, who had been waiting, entered
the red bedroom of his master, and
closed the heavy windows, through
which, on the crisp September sun
shine, the whistled cries of the
awakening city were already pene-
trating. By the time he had ar
ranged the massive lace curtains
of the third window. with its staten
sweep of ehimneyed roofs and the
flowing green of Central park, Mr..
Forester, who had sprung from his
bed at the first knock, was already
in his riding breeches and drawing
on his boots.
"Weil, Gregory, what's the
weather." he cried, with the vigor
of a man Of strong, health who
wakes with alacrity to the enthu-
siasfns of the day.
"It's a lovely morning, sir"
"First ratel Tell Morley Mrs.
Forester is not to be disturbed
unless she rings"
mot to be disturbed-yes, sir, "
said Gregory, with the irnpassiveness
of forty years of Unconditional SER
vice.
His recent marriage had changed
little in the routine Of Andrew For
rester's day. The instinct toward
order which dominated his life had
made each step so mechanical that
Gregory himself had acquired the
precision Of an automaton. He
knew to the second the precise mo-
ment when, shaved and refreshed,
the master would bolt from the
tiled bathroom ready for the ten
dered shirt and cravat, and when
capped and clothed, he had seen hirr
swallowed up in the voluminous
green ulster and conducted him to
the waiting elevator, he could have
glanced at his watch and pro-
nounced with gertrude, Twenty
two after the hour"
But on the present morning, to
his growing establishment, when he
had offered the gray wooden riding
shirt, instead OF the customary snap
and celebrity. he perceived look Of
abstraction on the still yoing face
of his master-ta face which. despite
its FIRST impression of agreeable ug-
illness, had a contagious radiance of
success, confidence and decision. In
stead Of extending his hand for the
stock which Gregory held tenderly
poised, Mr.. Forester wandered over
to the window and stood staring out
on the golden city, hands pocketed,
whistling windily the soldiers
chorus from Faust" He came back
frowning, his glance in the dis
lance, and extended his arms for his
jacket.
BEG pardon, sir-your stock"
WHAT Oh, yes"
He took the stock. tied it hastily,
and, slipping into his riding coat,
started for the door,
beg pardon, sir; you've forgotten
your watch and wallet"
"Hullo, so I have-that's queerV
ut is queer" said Gregory to
himself, when Mr.. Forester had
disappeared by the elevator. Some
thing is on his mind, that's fat"
And returning to the servants din
ing room where Morley, the lady's
maid, was breakfasting luxuriously
on a grapefruit with the addition OF
a pot Of cream which Quito, the
Japanese cook, had offered in re-
spectful admiration, he inquired.
"Bit Of a tiff last night between
the master and the missis1"

STATE WILL FINISH
 BUILDING LYMAN DAM

The Observer is happy to be able to state on good authority that the Lyman dam is going to be completed without further red tape or monkey business. Through the effective work of the state loan board, composed of Governor Campbell, State Secretary Nit Sims and State Treasurer H. S. Ross, the money will be made avail able to go on with the work at once and big force of men will be started on the job within another week. We don't pretend to know the status of affairs at present, but we do know that State Treasurer Ross arrived from Phoenix last Sunday accompan- jed by Francis L. Sellew and John Lovac, two expert engineers who were connected with the Yuma irrigation project. Engineer Lovac will remain at the dam permanently to look after construction work, while Engineer Sellew will occasionally visit the works to see that everything is being done as ie should be. An expert account ant and bookkeeper, Mir. A. o. Err hardt of Phoenix, arrived the first of the week and will stay on the job till it is finished.-St. Johns Observer.

PREPARING GRANTED IN
 AUTO ACCIDENT CASE

The supreme court on Saturday granted a rehearing of the case of Young vs. Campbell, a damage action in which jury in the lower court awarded judgment for the defendant.
 The case was brought to the su- preme court on an appeal and re- versed, the decision being handed down by Justice Cunningham, Justice Ross concurring.
 The motion for rehearing was made and granted. " When tried in the lower court the case attracted wide attention. c. D. Young, the plaintiff, claimed to have been permanently injured as a result of an accident in which he placed en- tire blame on Dan Campbell, son of Hugh Campbell, who was driving his fathers automobile. The defense claimed that Young on a motorcycle ran directly into the approaching ma chine and had number of witnesses to support the claim. The jury held with the defense.
 By peculiar coincidence Young met with another accident shortly following the suit, only in this in stance was driving a car. He admit ted that the fault was his in this case, in which he again sustained injuries.
 He was represented in the suit in which he asked for $20,000 damages, by Hayes and Laney and Bullard and Jacobs represents the defense.-Ari- zona Republican.

WHY MARCH 17th IS
 ST. PATRICK'S BIRTHDAY

March 17th is celebrated by Irish men of all creeds and denominations as the birthday of their patron saint, Patrick. There is a story that once there was a dispute between two fac tions, one claiming that the patron saint was born on the eighth, the other that he came into this world on the ninth of March. As the quarrel could not otherwise be settled, the 17th was decided on by the simple compromise of adding eight and nine together. But there appears to be no reason for doubting that St. Patrick was born either at Kirkpatrick Cor Dumbarton) in Scotland, or perhaps in France, in the latter part of the fourth century, on the day usually kept as his birthday. St. Patrick's day is purely national celebration ir- respective of any religious belief.
