WORK ON WILD HORSE PLACERS General News of Different Properties Throughout the Whole District. Moyie Leader: Moyie has certainly a great mine in the Aurora, and if tbe price of lead continues to advance as at present it will not be long until tbis property will be shipping ore and paying dividends. It is estimated tbat already some $6000 have been expended on development work on this group which consists of five full claims. The No. I tunnel ia now in 325 feet. From this there are two cross cuts to the west, one 40 feet in length and the other 35 feet in length. These are running at an angle from the main tunnel and on separate veins, Tben tbere is a shaft down 40 feet. Tbis is on the vein and the ore has averaged from 18 inches to four feet iu width all the way down. Tbe Aurora is directly across tbe lake and on tbe same lead as the St. Eugene. It has more work done and looks better today than did the Lake Shore group at the time it was purchased by the Canadian Gold Fields syndicate. Tbe Aurora is owned by Thos. Rider, O. J. Johnson and Capt. J. B. Sanborn, Wild Horse Placers. Fort Steele Prospector: During the past year, especially the winter months, there was a great deal of prospecting go- ing on among the placers on Wild Horse. Tbe work done bas demonstrated tbe permanency and depth of the immense gravel deposits, and proved that the yellow metal abounds in paying quantities. The interesting feature is that not less than six companies will work on the creek as soon as the season opens. Dave Griffith, who came down from Wild Horse on Thursday, reports that good pay gravel bas been struck in tbe tunnel now being run to strike bed rock in tbe deep diggings on the creek. He brought down a beautiful specimen of placer gold obtained in tbe face of the tunnel. E J. Cann has also a quantity of fiue gold obtained from panning. Gold In Smelter smoke. Omaha Correspondence of New York World: Two years ago, while workmen were making repairs to the roof of a building tn the Omaha plant of the American Son ltlng and R*Antng company, they were amazod to find the shingles and boards covered wi.h atoms of metal. One of the boards was taken to the assayer, who burned It, retorted the ashes and imparted thesurtllng In* format.on that the metal was composed of gold, silver, lead aud copper. Other boards were burned with like results, and tbe mystery grew more preplexlng. Finally some one standing ou the roof of the building had occasion to brush from his coat sleeves flakes of soot which were dropping from the great, rolling clouds of smoke and gas emerging from the giant stacks near by. Sheets of common cheesecloth, cut to fit tbe Interior of the stacks, were prepared. Through the centre of the sheets were cut holes large enough to allow the necessary free draught. Tbe sheets were fastened at various heights In the stacks and allowed to remain in position for several weeks. When removed and subjected to treatment the chemist produced gold, silver, copper and lead worth hundreds of dollars. More cheesecloth catchers were Inserted In the smokestacks, a few feet apart, one above the other, from the base 10 the crown; a aeml-clrcular steel house was built, extending from the furnaces to the base of tbe atacks; a blower was placed In position to cool and force the smoke and gas through tbe steel house aud up tne flues, la Its passage the smoke deposited In the steel house hundreds of pounds of grime, which was allowed to gather and pack for six months, Tbat of the grime which, managed to travel through the circular house and reach the flues waa caught by tbe cheesecloth, very small portion, practically, escaping to the outside. Wuen the steel house became filled with packed soot— li ghly infl imrnable— the mass was touched off with a common match and allowed to burn for several days, after which It waa found that there still remained in the enclosure many tons of a peculiar dead-looking cinder, hard and worthless appearance. This cinder was run through the furnaces, receiving treatment in the same manner as the original ores, aud readily yielded its precious wealth. Dating January the Omaha plant gathered a six months' 'smokehouse and cheesecloth harvest," receiving 500 tons of cinders, which yielded more than S25 000. Fifty thousand dollars per year scattered over Omaha lo smoke! That's what It amounted to in twenty yeara. Subscribe For THE TRIBUNE East Kootcntiy Mines. Tbe North Star Is working about 20 men. the principal work Is prospecting. The force of men on the Sullivan will not be materially Increased until the smelter at Marysville Is about ready to blow In. The company does uot desire to get out a nv large amount of ore until It can be shipped direct to the smelter. R. O Jennings and Gust Theis have been sinking a shaft on their Perry Creek placer grounds the past winter and reached bedrock in a little over 30 feet. It Is their Intention to put In machinery and work their ground on an extensive sca.e the coming season. It Is the intention of several parties interested in placers on Lamb Creek to do some extensive prospecting next summer. Weaver creek will be a busy place this season. The placers there bave attracted much favorable attention. Hary Melton, who Is working ao iron property on Baker Mountain for Manager Hedl=y of i.bu If ill mines smelter, of Nelson, says they have tbe buildings at the camp completed and the trail built, and tbat work on developing tbe property will proceed as rapidly as possible. Manager Thomas Starb.rd of the McDonald Creek mines, returned last week from a business trip to Fort Steele, aod since It Is affirmed that he has completed the purchase of the Silver King claim from B C Barton of Peterboro, and Harry Ammle of Fort Steele, for the McDonald Crei.k Mines syndicate.— Canterbury Outcrop, GREAT WINTER'S WORK What a Mining Man Says, Mr. Allan, of Northport, Wash , a mining man of varied experleece, is In town. He thinks well of tbe country and the prospects of Mirysvllle, and made this statement to a number of men one day this week: 'Let me tell you one thing gentlemen, and that is that the lines for tbe construction of this smelter, the source of tbe money, the ultimate intention of the syndicate were all arranged before a shovel of earth was turned over on this ground. The smelter will be built, ot that there can be no question, and If the mine has the body of ore that has been reported by tbe experts who have examined, the smelter will be a success and Maryaville will be a prosperous town You" can't get away from that preposition." Change at the North Star. J. Parker, formerly manager of tbe North Star mine will return as general superintendent of that well known mine, and as soon as be assumes charge operations will begin on extensive prospecting and development.

No Reason to Complain About Marysville. THOUSANDS EXPENDED THIS WINTER Moyie Newa. From tho Movio Loader- James Fraser, of G. H. Miner's store, spent Sunday in Cranbrook. Gaorge Leask and Thomas Christian were up from Cranbrook Sunday. William Mills, Jack McTavlih and John McDonald, three of the best miners that ever struck tbe camp, left yesterday for the Kuclla mine near Fort Steele to go to work. Mr. and Mrs. G. T. McGregor and children will leave about next Friday for the east. Mrs. McGregor and the children will remain In Ontario, and Mr. McGregor will proceed to New York where be will consult a specialist for his ailment.

Tbe annual Meeting of the Moyie Water company was held at tbe court bouse laat Siturday afternoon, when 12,0*10 shares of stock were represented. The following ofllcera were elected: J. A. Harvey, president; J. P. Farrell, vice president; W. L Held, secretary; Victor Desaulnier, treasurer. The other directors are A P. McDonald, Andrew Johnson and Pulllip Conrad The company Is in good financial condition and will be paying dividends within a short time. Duught n Lot, N. Sanson, the well known governor of Wasa bought a lot lu Marysville on Tuesday and will proceed to build. Tbe governor says tbat he sees a great, future for Marysville and "a word to ' the wise:" Old man Hanson dosen't very often make a mistake Everything Point*) to 11 Ilusy and Prosperous Summer Here. Marysville bis undoubtedly gone a head during the last month or two,wItb a rapidity seldom seen even in a western town. ThU growth will without out doubt be greater in from thirty to forty days from tbe time of the present writing. Tbe early spring is not a good season for growth, so far as towns are concerned, for the reason that the thaw ing snow and changeable weather make building operations well nigh lm* possible. With regard to smelter building, where a great deal of brick, mortar and cement, are used tbe situation ia even worse but even in spite of this we bave the same story to tell. Work Is progressing with despatch and In a thorougly workmanlike manner on tbe Marysville smelter. Within the next month or so, the situation In M a'rysyllle in tbe matter of workmen will be considerable changed. We will venture to say that within from thirty to forty days from 100 to 150 men will be employed on the construction of tbe smelter. Witbin a very few days, now, many car loads of machinery and Iron will be received at Marysville which will mean tbe employment of many machinists, blacksmiths and Iron workers In addition to a large staff of carpenters, masons and brick layers. All this will help the growth of tbe town and as spring gives place to summer a large number of homes will be erected on this townslte. Men will come to work and these men will bring their families and the fact of them bringlog tbeir families will cause the building of homes which is the backbone of any community. There never was a townslte either In Eist Kootenay or In any other part of this province that was such an Ideal one for a home. The benches to the north of the town- site, the lota on the west side ot Mark Creek aod tbe twenty seven acres to the south east of the town are all magnificent tullding sites, places on whlcn any man wanting a permanent abode would be glad to build. Of course scenery is not the whole thing nut when we add to the perfect site the abuudance of water and wood and the almost perfect climate it Is hard to see that one wants more. Marysville made her start In the late fall and owing to the season of the year, one would have been led to suppose tbat growth would be almost Impossible, Such was not the cise, however. Mirysvllle In spile of all obstacles has steadily grown, lu a very few weeks she will undoubtedly be oue of the leading towns of the district. The fact of a smelter, a refinery and lead works of various kinds being erected lu Marysville Is proof positive tbat we are bound to bave a good town here because theae various Industries will of necessity employ a large number of men and consequently a good town, a good pay roll town will be the result. A good pay roll town 1» a town to which capital Is attracted because a regular monthly pay roll means steady business lor tbe merchant and trader and consequently good business for everybody else concerned. Marysville will be this kind of a town, a regular tin bucket town, working man's town and therefore the best kind of a town In which to live. Marysville is all right and those who are fortunate enough to bave property in this town are to be congratulated—because sbe Is a winner atd will undoubtedly show a large profit to property holders tu the near future.

Under ihe afternoon sun tho restless waters oi San Kmnciseo buy flung dia- mouds and opals at such kutunu eyes as eliaiued to look on them. Two youug people who Btrolled down to the Presidio beach, however, had no glances to spare fur anything so commonplace as diamonds and opals. For Lieutenant Anderson was gazing into the depths til' the great, soft black eyes of Miss Pachita de Sola, nnd Miss Pachltll de Sola rcas looking up into the ardent blue ones « f Lieutenant And -son, She seemed t<> like it. The tall young soldier with the fair hair, broad shoulders and sijuare, manly Saxon face hail nnt been long released from th" hard work and harder restraint of West Point,, and in his new freedom of army life went at things wltb an energy or desire that was quite irresistible. Miss Pachita de Sola found it so, -is had half a dozen Other girls within ns many months. It wns a wholly serious business with the lieutenant this time, though. tie had been in California but a few weeks, aud litis daughter of an ancient tbottgll decayed Spanish family, ns American in education and thought ns himself, was ravishing in her novelty. Altogether feiuiuiuoi I'acliita, nt one moment childlike and clinging; the next worldly, witty nnd mocking; then, with the lids hiding those lovely, big eyes of hers, her wholo aspect suggested—especial)v to a lieutenant with ample means to marry—possibilities of tenderness unspeakable. No wouder that when Miss Pachita permitted Lieutenant Anderson to gaze down into her eyes and returned an nn- swerlng look, giving a little sigh, too, his head went nfter his heart, which had been lost for an eternity—that is to say, for two terrific, sleepless nights. Rut the young lady was discreet, and, gently clasping his fingers, removed them from her waist, saying demurely: "Don't he foolish, John. Somebody may be looking." This in -h city nnd In full sight of the ever vigilant garrison struck John as being not Improbable, Instant iu action, as became a soldier, Lieutenant Anderson executed a Hank movement on a sand bank and seated Miss de Sola in its lee, on a lurge, water whitened, sun dried log of driftwood. Then this consummate tactician repeuted the original attack with entire success. "Pachita, oh, my darling!" breathed the ecstatic lieutenant, straining her to his side nud immediately showing u disposition to put a knee upon the beach. "Well, John?" and the smile of love nnd gratified vanity that smote bis eyes blinded them. "Name the day, oh, Pachita; I cannot live till you do!" - Pachita pursed her full, red lips, puckered tin? midnight eyebrows and considered profoundly, digging deep into the sand with his cane tho while. "The dny, my own love—the day," gasped John. "Dear me," Miss de Sola exclaimed suddenly, "what a beautiful shell!" "Blast the shell!" cried Lieutenant Anderson, reaching for what she hnd unearthed, to cast it wrathfully out among the unnoticed diamonds and opals. Hut he was restrained in wonder. IN AUGUST, 1925. The same sun wns enriching tbo dancing waters of the same bny with diamonds and opals. A young couple who Strolled down to the Presidio beach ad- mi.ed the view very much, and Senorita Pnchlta de Sola had no occasion to remind the lieutenant by her side that somebody might be looking. Lieutenant .*Tunn de Eel t enn din would have liked greatly to coll his arm about lhat slim waist, bnt did not dare, though there was only a small and sleepy garrison and no lily nt nil behind them—only the padres and Indians at the mission Dolores, far nver the sand hills, and u cabin or two down nt the embarendero, entirely out of j-lght, Pachita de Sola was niece of Commnndnnto Don Luis Antonio Arguel- lo, and though he, Lieutenant Juan de Echeaudlo wus a nephew of Don Jose Maria, of the same name, one, even though an nristocrnt, has under all circumstances to show proper respect for his commanding officer. Besides, the Senorita Pnchltn had twice refused his friendly offered hand. It was bestowed lipop Ensign Tlburclo Memlez at Monterey, though this was not known to a certainty nt the Presidio. Lieutenant Juan de Hchenmlin and Senorita Pachita de Sola walked leisurely to the little wharf where that wonderful vessel, constructed hut reeeutly by it wandering British sailor, lay'preparing for n voyage to Snusalito, four leagues distant. It was a marvelous boat, with oars and n sail, and capable of accommodating no less than six persons', Don Luis Antonio Aj'guello himself had commanded her in person on the dozen passages which she had made to the opposite above for timber. Previous to the creation of this extraordinary ship, which annihilated distance and obliterated time, timber was hard to get from Corte de Madera. Soldiers were sent around by way of San Jose, armed with axes, who crossed the strait tt Cnrquinez on rafts, and In 1 he circuit of seventy leagues encountered hardships ond consumed weeks. And the timber was brought over by Chief Martin, un aborigine given to cruising on u float of lugs and titles, who alone knew the winds ami currents of the bay. It was but a matter of a day now to sail over for the timber nnd return with it. Corporal Pedro Sanehez had made all the voyages with the comiuaudantc nml rated now ns a superior navigator, his marine fame being denr to him. Don Luis had swollen him with pride by placing him in command for this one trip. His enlargement became perilous when Lieutenant Echenndla suddenly proposed to Scnoritn Pacbltn lhat they make the voyage, and flu-, being young und thoughtless, consented. I'-rave ('orpot'ul Sanchez sailed the Mcjlco superbly as far ns Angel islnnd. descanting eloquently on the nit and mystery of seamanship. Issuing to his crew or threo soldiers sundry orders lu n commanding voice of thunder, he pre- pared to pass the point. Aln-s, an eastern wind came whistling through the treacherous Raccoon strait, mid in Pplte of nil Corporal Pedro's sen- 1 'p (he Mejieo wus cuuicUt ami whirled round and round and borne wltb tbe racing tide toward the Golden Oste. Senorita Puchitn de Sulu Bcreamed, but there was no help .sent down from heaven, even on the uppeal of those pretty lips, grown quite white, or of that pale face, with Its big black eyes wild with terror. Lieutenant Junn de Kcheandia swore- swore nt Corporal Pedro Sanchez, but profanity, though frequently an adjunct to navigation, is not of use In Imparting knowledge thereof. So out to sea they drifted, far out, almost to tbe Farullones. For eight days and nights tbey were as a chip on the waves, the Raccoon (usti having mapped the mps( and -cnfrla^ away the sail. Corporal Pedro, famous as n mariner, bad forgotten to bring oars* Senoiita de Sola gave herself up to Mary, mother of CJod. as did the corporal and the three men in the bow, who passed the hours in shuddering prayer. But Lieutenant Juau hud a soldier's soul. Ou the second day he drew his sword, and at its point the men yielded such food and wuter as the boat contained. These he bestowed where his body was between them and recapture. Tbe corporal Pedro, though a fool and unfortunate, was loyal. With him the lieutenant kept watch and watch, aud through nil those awful eight days and nights (by my pen, it is true tbat the bout was gone tbat long, us you may read in Hitte)l's "History of California") the Senorita de Sola wanted for neither food nor drink, and the delicacy of Lieutenant Juau would have brought tears of gratefulness to vany woman's eyes. He did wonders, as tradition has handed down, with cloaks and coats and stray bits of rope to cabin the lady. On the eighth day—sincere prayer is ever nnswered—a blessed wind sprung up from the west and, tide assisting, blew the Mejieo bnck through the (ioldeu Gate. The cruising chief Marin, on his Mile float, was sent by Providence to tow Iter to the Presidio wharf, where tha commandant and the cheering garrison uwaited tho return of the lost to life—tho ones saved by an unquestionable miracle.

Lieutenant John Anderson was restrained from throwing the abnlone shell into the bay, after his indefensible language concerning it, because imbedded under a transparent, overlying, iridescent deposit be beheld an open golden locket, showing the face of a handsome young mnn, evidently Spanish. Miss de Sola, excited, took It from him, scrutinized it intently, looked up with sparkling eyes und pointed a slim, triumphant, olive finger at a name beneath the miniature. "There," she cried, "grandma did love that Monterey ensign, though she always denied it!" "But Pachita—Pachita, darling, do name the day," pleaded Lieutenant Anderson all a-throb. "Oh, bother!" impatiently returned Miss de Sola, absorbed again in the aba- lone. "Name it yourself." H ffn -1 MMlne'S L07G HOW IT WA? THWARTED BY A VILLAIN. Work of Blind Sculptors. There have been several cases recorded in which famous sculptors have been blind. Dr. Vidol, the well known French sculptor, was blind, lie made a special study of animals, surrounding himself with pets ot all kinds, which ho would fondle until he wns able to reproduce them in clay with a skill that surpassed any of his contemporaries. On one occasion, in order that he might make a true model of a lion, he obtained permission from the proprietor of a menagerie to enter (accompanied by the tamer) n cage containing u magnificent specimen of the king of beasts, which he stroked and caressed until he had acquired au exact conception of its shape and mien.

A well known band was practically two men short. It had its full strength numerically, but two of the regular members had not been nble to come, nnd in their stend had beeu pressed u couple of "followers," who (in the vernacular) "could not play for nuts." Effectually to prevent their getting out a siugle sound, the conductor had jammed a cork into their instruments, or, rather, the instruments they carried.

Perhaps 1 ought not to tell this story, for it redounds ltlh* to the credit "f man's ■?ex. However, it is a good story all the same, ko here it is: The chief events occurred at Mme. Boussel ill's ("tinny hnit'O. near La Rocbebillero, in a Wild, densely woodi'd country where hunt lug h the chief aiuuse*- inenl of the lubnbitttmn. The house is one of the best I know, and Mme. !l*uis- selin bnd added to its attractions ly ink- iu?' her young niece Madeleine, who bud just lost her parents, to live with her. Madeleine hail no fortune. Ij.ii she was divinely pretty. She had those soft, mild eyes that go KtruTght to your heart, and the mostchnrmlng and indescribable air of delicacy, refinement and nflVeiioiiaieness. She was, imbed, by far loo tempt lug a morsel to put under the very claws, so to speak, of thnt scoundrel Louis, Mme. Itousseiiu's sou, who had developed from an incorrigible spoiled child Into ti man of rough manners aud violent emotion-;, as a result of his life in the woods and his constant associnlkiu with lours. Although he was far too stupid to appreciate Madeleine as she deserved, he was yet strongly nltrae-ted bj ber beauty. The girl's frank coillcmpt and dislike made him furious, aud before long he became jealous iih we.I. Por, though Madeleine had no feeling but nvei i 1:1 for her blackguard of a cousin, she <!, 1 not extend thnt sentiment to men in general. Certainly nol to one man in particular, Edmond Rennud. Edmond 'was u handsome yo:;!h and fully capable of appreciating Mndeleino's character ns well as her beauty. So, when he came home nfter completing bis legal studies in Paris, he fell In love Willi her at once. At ehiiri.li he never took his eyes off her faee, aud on weekdays he hunted the vicinity of the Ibuisselin house in the hope of getting n stolen glimpse of her beautiful features, lie wns very happy in this una vowed love, the more so that Madeleine's conscious look, blushes nnd air of embarrassment plainly told him thnt his feeling wns returned. He wns emboldened to make a format proposition of marriage. This wns promptly rejected by Mme. Konsselin, and Edmond's parents also had objections to offer 011 account of Madeleine's luck of fortune. Mme. Konsselin gave her niece's youth as the ground of hot refusal, but in reality she was obeying the suggestion of her son, whom Madeleine's obvious attachment to his rival had made more furious than ever. And now the story becomes dramatic. Edmond remained in the country during half of the winter, his love only increased by obstacles, until he was forced to choose between two plans submitted to him by his father. „ He must either return to Paris or accept a colonial post which was offered to him. At all events, he must lenre the spot, and forthwith. Madeleine on her return from church one Sunday found a note iu her muff. There were only a few passionate lines. in which Edmond assured her ot his love and begged for c meeting in which she could tell him whether it was returned or not. If she loved him, he would wait for her; if not, he would expatriate himself, efface himself forever. But he must have on answer, if only a word. He would steal into her garden thnt evening, conceal himself behind the big snowman which the gardener's sous had erected, and there wait patiently for her —for hours, if necessary. If she did uot come at all, it would mean "no," and he would go. He carried out his programme, but the snowman did not concent him from the sharp eyes of a servunt, who reported the matter to Louis Bousselin. "Hiding, you say?" Louis asked. "Yes, sir; behind the snowman, like his shadow, opposite the house, which he is watching as if expecting some one. At first 1 thought he was a thief, hut on coming nearer I recognized him. What shall I do?' "Nothing. You may go." "Ah. my line fellow," Louis said t"- himself, "so you come aud put yourself in my hands, do you?" Rousselin was on very good terms with himself that evening. A successful boar hunt nnd an excellent luncheon hud conspired tu make him more animated than usual. There was u wicked li:;lit in his eyes, the reflection of a diabolical thought that had crossed his brain. He went up stairs, musing. At (he first landing he 8tnw>ed and stood watching the door of Madeleine's room, lie suspected that she knew who was hiding behind the snowman. Assuming n careless air nnd whistling, he approached a collection of weapons hunting 011 the wall and look down n gun. He wns trying the lock when Madeleine appeared. "Beastly weather for a walk, Madeleine," |te said. Madeleine stopped in confusion. After a long conflict with herself her lender compassion for Edmund, combined wit); the fear of losing him forever, hnd decided her to go to the rendezvous, und now she found herself confronted by her detested cousin. "You had bettor tnke a wrap, if you must go," sneered Louis; "overshoes, too, would not be amiss for a tramp in the snow." "What ninkes you think I am going out?" ' "The bright gleam in your pretty eyes, the rich color of your checks und the violent beating of your heart—I can almost hear it. But you will be very foolish to run the risk of taking cold in the off chance of finding n lover out there in the Btiow. It is too cold a night for lovers; they would be chilled. You won't find any, take my word for it." Bousselin, who wns getting n good deal of enjoyment out of his cousin's embarrassment and mortification, threw open a window which overlooked the suowelnd garden. "There is nobody," he sold, "absolutely nobody—except the snowman. He Isn't in love with you, is he? What a splendid target he would make, with the light from the window falling ou him uud everything else black!" He played with his gun, slyly watching and enjoying tlie look ot terror that overspread Madeleine's face. "Thnt fellow hns been an eyesore too long," he added. "I think I will put a bullet through him. Bet you I hit him In the bend nt the first shot!" "Louis, do not shoot, I beg of you," Madeleine cried impulsively. "Why not? Just fur the fun of tbe ■ttiinirt" Post Madeleine could scarcely speak distil I'tlj in her excitement uud despair. "Tl..; noise," she stammered. "The report—so late in the eveulug. It might frighten some one." "Whom? My mother will not hear it, and you are forewarned. Are you nfraid of searing the servants?" "Please, Louis, I beseech you!" "Bnh! AH this fuss nbout not even a sparrow—only a snowman!" "But if—if—by chance—there should be —soiue one"— "In the garden, nt this hour? A thief, perhaps? All ihc better. It will be killing two birds with oue stone. However, I can point a gun, I hope, and I intend to hit tha snowman alons —right ia the heart. Hero goes!" She sprang forward and grasped the gun,_ exclaiming: "No, no; you shnl! not shoot!" "Then there is some one there?" "Yes." "Your lover?" "I—I do not know," Madeleine retreated iu confusion, dreadfully shamed by the confession that had been wrung from her, but thinking, in her ignorance of the workings of Rousselln's mind, thut now all danger was passed. Meanwhile Bousselin stood nervously fingering his weapon, with his face distorted with rage, until another atrocious thought came to him and made him laugh aloud. "A fine arrangement, truly, nnd a pretty confession!" ha sneered. "Mademoiselle bus lovers who come prowling about my house nt night. That is only nn additional reason why I should exercise my rights. If I should wing this lover of yours, what complaint could he make against me? But, pshaw, it is only n fancy of yours! There is nobody behind the snowman." "There is." „ "Edmond?" "Yes." Bousselin laughed no longer, and the girl made uo further attempt at concealment. "Well." he said, "I give you your choice." "How?" "Either you swear to marry me"— "Oh!" "Or I fire." This brutal threat so shocked and overwhelmed Madeleine that she could find no answer but a sob. "Or I fire, I say!" "Oh! Then-well-yes!" Bousselin closed the window. "Do not cry," he said. "We shall get on well together, 1 have no doubt. It is something, yoti must remember, to be Mme. Bousselin." That grent honor, however, won by so painful a sacrifice, Madeleine was destined never to enjoy. Edmond, convinced of her indifference and ignorant of the facts In the case, left the country on the following duy, and Bousselin, after enjoying several weeks of hateful triumph, suddenly changed his mind.

Raftery. ^iaiaWk'iiiM'AVaSt'etiaVA^W^WIaya,)*'), It wns some time lu June that Miss Denby began to "make a show" of herself. From tbe modest responsibility of neutral tints, cotton gowns nud a sailor bat sbe suddenly burgeoned forth into such a splendid radiance of millinery nnd mode that all her neighbors wondered. For Miss Denby wns an old maid. She bad accumulated a modest fortune making dresses, nnd, being fifty-two years old, ns she admitted With ft weazen smile, she lind retired permanently from business nnd settled down to a routl-s* of tea drinking and novel rending, relieved, If not Illuminated, by dally strolls in the parlt and a Sunday visit to church. Homely? Not exactly, for she had bright, busy little eyes, a straight nose that bnd not always been ns red na now nnd n cute mouth tlmt puckered lip nt the corner when she smiled. Her form wns of tbe "ironing bonrd" style —that Is, neither plump nor angular— bnt ber hands nnd feet were tho chief pride of her romantic little heart, for they were ns small ns a child's. Indeed, what most astounded the neighbors when they lirst begun to "notice" the old mnld's transformation were tlie marvelous shoes, slippers nnd gloves she wore. For Instance, the day Mrs. Gnllegher followed her over to the park Miss Denby's little tootsies were Incased In grny undressed kids, with—oh, shocking!—French heels. But thut wns not whnt finally set the venomous tongue of gossip to wagging. Mrs. Gallegher hnd actually caught tho old maid keeping tryst with n man! From that day tho poor old dressmaker's suddenly glorified wardrobe was explained. Mrs. Gallegher hnd watched her foregather with a handsome, dark haired stranger nnd, lean- lug on his stalwart arm, stroll awny among the trees. It wns evident thnt Miss Denby was In love nnd thnt her suitor was a young and dashing fellow. "After ber money, I guess," said Mrs. Jenkins to Mrs. Jones over the back fence. "No fool like nn old fool," winked Mrs. Jones. Some snid It was "disgraceful," others suspected tbat Miss Denby was a "little cracked," but they all became very friendly with ber, drank her tea, admired her gowns and put themselves In the way of becoming her confidants. The good women even began to take morning tramps lu the park, and the queer little dressmaker, walking with her young suitor, was mortified ami puzzled at the frequency of these accidental meetings. Finally Miss Denby decided to open her heart to Mrs. Gallegher, and she did It like this: "Hnve another cup of tea before you go, Mrs. Gallegher." "Sure I've bad seven." "Just one more." Then sho whispered, "I've got a secret for you." Miss Denby blushed and simpered demurely ns she poured the tea, and her fat guest could hardly wnlt to come at the long deferred mystery. "What's your secret, Sophronla? Sure you ain't going to move?" "Guess again," giggled the old maid. "Not another new dress?" "Not that." "I'll give np," admitted the other, wbo enjoyed tbe deception. "A wedding!" gurgled Miss Denby. "But, mind now, It's a secret yet. I'm going to Invite him up—hee-hce, bee* hee-e—and I want you to come aud chaperon me"— Mrs. Gallegher was staring open mouthed. "Sophronla Denby!" she gasped. "Married! You going to be married!" "To the finest, handsomest, noblest, richest—he's a prince"— "Ah, bother!" "A Greek nobleman, Count Sardana* pnlus." "And what business Is be In?" "Business! Oh, dear, none! He's a nobleman; owns an Island and alt tbat sort of thing." Tbe old maid seemed almost transfigured with enthusiasm. She said sbe bad met ber noble lover quite by accident while strolling near the beach. He had found aud restored to ber a novel wbtcb sbe had left on a bench. The casual acquaintance thus begun hod flourished by reason of bis wondrous ardor and the fact that she walked daily in tbe park. The count bad wooed and won her "with the fierce and swift gallantry of the old world." Miss Denby said, aud she bad resisted blm ns long as her sympathetic heart could withstand his eloquence. "He's lu Chicago to float a loan for the Greek government," she explained. "Aa soon ns Crete Is annexed the count—tny count"-a smile nnd a blush —"Ib to be absolute ruler of the Island. But he Is very anxious to depart and the wedding dny must be fixed tomorrow night. Turkish spies nre constantly nt his heels. There Is hardly a day thnt he does not point one out to inc. I have seen them lurking behind tbo bushes, nud every time we part I nm In agony of fear lesi -,.:raethlng should befall him." Mrs. Gallegher wna staring now like a big bullfrog watching a red flannel bait. "Will you come .up tomorrow, night nnd meet blm?" sbe bears Miss Denby sny. "I will." murmured tbe dumfounded Mrs. Gallegher, backing toward the door. It was midnight wben she had finished her rounds of the flats, and at 1 he hour appointed for tbe count's arrival tbe population of the building was on the front steps. Sure enough, nt 8 o'clock the handsome foreigner came striding along. He paused a moment In front of Miss Denby's entrance, looked up nnd down the street and then sprang nimbly up the stairway. The fluttering old maid, "assisted" by Mrs. Pheliin Gnllegher, received him. To the latter he bowed with the punctilious grace of ft cavalier of France. "With your permission, madam," ho said, taking a parcel from his pocket, "I bave brought mademoiselle a little gift. It is an heirloom In our family. My ancestors captured it from King Priam in tlie Trojan wnr." Ho banded the pneknge to the blushing Miss Denby and kissed her tiny hand as she bowed over It. "It is oue of tlie gold shoos from the Trojan horse," he resumed with rnro dignity. •'Filch null it set with a priceless diamond, nml"— lie wns Interrupted by a little scream from Sophronla, who hnd unwrapped tlie parcel and found un old, rusty horseshoe, very dirty, twisted and worn. But tlie next moment she had tapped his wrist with her fan and laughed: "What a wag you are, count; forever cracking jokes!" Mrs. Gallegher didn't know whnt to say or do. She stood there staring nt Count Snfddnapnlfls ns If In doubt whether to lilt him with tlie horseshoe or run away. Indeed she was sidling toward the door when the boll rung. She opened it In time to bear the strange guest shout: "liar the door or we are lost!" But Mrs. Gnllegher opened It. A sandy haired, heavy set mnn brushed rudely in. In Id n linnd on the count's shoulder und snid: "Come, your grace, the balloon Is ready." ••Aha!" said the dramatic Greek. "My country first! Forward, gentlemen! To the balloon!" With a grand bow he stalked out of the room like a monarch going to the block. Miss Denby collapsed Into a chair. The sandy courier followed bis master. Mrs. Gnllegher followed the courier. "Who Is be?" whispered the fat woman to the count's attendant. "He's a bug." growled the man; "went nutty on balloons; acts all right till you mention his balloon. Then he goes home and gets into a swing. He thinks It's a war balloon, and he sails all over the world In It. Good night!"

Eseott tells this story, says a London journal: "The only Bit linger I cull i*-nio.iil**.i to hnvo seen there wns n young American author, already of distinguished performance and of even more brilliant promise, who had brought with him n letter of commendation from Longfellow, ne was painfully shy nnd absentmlnded nt tho dinner tabic, nearly forgetting to cat and quite, I think, forgetting to drink. In the latter respect he resembled his host, who on that day, whllo the dishes were ou the table, touched ouly one of them. "With the dessert n small bottle of the laureate's favorite port, unfortified —such, he said, as 'Will Waterproof once could get nt the Cock In Fleet street—made Its appearance. It was only sipped by the poet nfter Intervals between conversation with bis trnns- ntlantlc guest or of reveries with himself. 'At last, however, the decanter wus draTned. The poet, ns If surprised to find It empty, .with n touch of plaln- tivencss in bis melodious monotone, said reflectively to the visitor, who bad not touched tho wine, 'Do you always drink a bottle of port after dinner?'" Popular Quotations. Mr. Churton Collins, In discussing populnr quotntions, exclaims: "How few, for example, who quote the well known sentiment, 'Salus populi bu- prema lex'—'The health of tbe people Is tbe highest law'—know tbat tbey are quoting tbe Roman law of tbe twelve tables, or when they talk of 'leaving no stone unturned' that they are quoting the reply of tbe Delphic oracle to Polyerutes, or when they talk of 'calling a spade a spade* tbey ure quoting an anonymous Greek comic poet. Thus, too, 'There's many a slip 'twlxt the cup and tbe lip' Is a literal translation of nn hexameter In an anonymous Greek poet. So Is 'The mills of God grind slow, bat tbey grind small.'"

"Would yo' mind tellln' me, Mlstab Mandrake," he said, "how to 'stlngulsh a musharoon f'm a toadstool?" "Willingly," replied the professor. "In the first place, you must remember thnt the Amnnitn phalloldes, or deadly agaric, closely resembles the Agnrlcus campestrls, or edible fungus, which Is our common variety and absolutely Innocuous. Next, It will be necessary to fix firmly In yocr u>:nd the distinguishing marks or characteristics of the Agnrlcus campestrls, which are these: A pilous not covered with excrescencelike scales; gills of a brownish purple when mature; stalk solid and approximately cylindrical; ring nenr tbe middle of stalk; base not bulbous and not sheathed by 'acuibrane. The distinguishing characteristics of the Amanita phalloldes, or deadly ngnrlc, are these: l'iieus destitute of distinct excrescences; white gills, b<*"nw stalk; large ring and prominent nulb nt bnse, wltb membranous upper margin.

Caffeine Is the analogous principle of coffee, although this latter substance also occurs In tea. Some Investigations Into the development of thelne shows thnt It is In the Bkln or covering of the leaves of the plant In their young stute thnt the nctlve principle is best developed. I have always been given to understand that the young shoots thus amply provided with thelne and representing the finest of the crop are sent to Russia, where they fetch a high price.

C. TWO WOMEN. ^RS. BARITT, OF PLATTSVILLE, OXT. One Who Didn't Mind Her Ottb Boal- ncin and One Who Did. The old lady was shrill of voice and gaifulous of nature, and she drew the attention of tbe other passengers in atTele- vated train to tlie young woman who was sitting beside her. Tbe young woman was accompanied by two small children. Tlie old woman grinned ingratiatingly several times at the children, who gave her no encouragement. After awhile she turned to the young woman ind asked ia a voice that attracted the attention of the other passengers: "What nice little children! How old are they, dear?" Some quiet response by the little woman. "What's that ? I don't hear very -well." The young woman raised her voice as she blushed becauso of the attention of the other passengers: "One is three years and the other ia two." "My! Are they Bisters?" •'They are brother and sister." "Which one is tlft older—the boy or the flrl?" "Th4 Doy.•' "Well, well! How many montha are there between them?" Tlie young woman seemed much annoyed and answered shortly: "Fifteen." "Indeed! Are you their Bister?" "No." By thia time everybody in the car was looking, and some pitied the young woman, whose face was Hushed at the pergonal questions, but were obliged to smile at tbe persistency of the older one. "Perhaps their cousin or their aunt?" eke hazarded. "No? But you are not their mother, are you?" Tbere came a decided nod from the little woman as she turned' her face away from her questioner. "You are?' Well, well! And how long have you been married? You are only a girl yourself; too young to have two auch big children." Tbe train drew up at a station just then, and the young woman gathered her children together aa sho answered, with a snap of her big brown eyes: "I've been married long enough to be able to attend to my own business. Hare you been married as long as that?" And ■he swept out ot the car to wait on the platform for another train that would not contain such an unwelcome questioner.

Plat ts"vilie Echo in Mny. 1898 Plattsville, Ont.', Dec. t6.-*-(Spec- ialj—SoiUQ three and a half years ago, the Plattsville Echo, the local newspaper; published quite an extended account of a most miraculous cure of a well known and highly respected lady, Airs. .1. Burnett, who hud Ijeen extremely ill for years, and who claimed to i>i! permanently cured by the use nf Dodd's Kidney Pills. This good lady, according to her own statement, hnd been a physical wreck, • w«th nervousness, rheu- inatisin in the loft arm, pains in the small of the buck, up the spinal column and back of tho heud, through tho eyes, loft Bide of the body uud occasionally tho right Hide. She had no appetite and could not sleep at night. The physicians had given her up, and In this pitiful anil hopeless condition, Dodd's Kidney Pills found her and completely restored hot* to good health without an ache or pain. Jler appetite returni-d as her general good health improved. She used in all but twelve ' boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This was in the spring of 1898, nnd today Mrs. Harnett states positively and in the strongest and most grateful terms that tho euro Dodd's Kidney Pills brought her threo and a half years ago was absolute and permanent ; that she is today stronger and belter than she had been for years before taking the pills. Nothing could bo more convincing than this g-ood woman's plnin nnd truthful statement, and it proves beyond doubt the lasting character of the cures effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills.

GROWING BABES. Need Watchful Care to Prevent Overfeeding and the Evils That Follow. All child-en at some period of '.heir infancy are subject to indigestion, diarrhoea, or constipation. While the symptoms of theso troubles greatly differ, the origin of-each is duo to the same cause—improper foot! or overfeeding, This results sometimes in diarrhoea, sometimes in constipation. In either the treatment is to remove the cause, and this can only be speedily, safely and effectually done by the use of Baby's Own Tablets, a purely vegetable medicine guaranteed to contain no opiate nor any oi the poisonous stuffs found in tire so-called soothing medicines. Mothers who once use Baby's Own Tablets for their little ones never after experiment with other medicines, and always speak of tliem in the highest terms. Mrs. Geo. It. Johnston, Wall street, Broekville, says : "I havo been using Baby's Own Tablets for over a year, always keep them in the house and always lind them satisfactory. If my little boy- two years of age—is troubled with constipation, indigestion or diarrhoea, I give him the tabjots und he is soon relieved. The tablets regulate the bowels and do not cause after constipation ns many medicines do. I have also found them beneficial iu teething." Baby's Own Tablets are a certain' cure for all the minor ailments of little ones such as colic, sour stomach, constipation, indigestion, diarrhoea, etc. Children take them readily, and crushed or dissolved in water they can be given with good results to the youngest, infant.

Despite Midicul Treatment, He Became Weaker and Weaker, Until JJ-; Could Scarcely Sign His Name Mr. James Dauphine, of East Bridgvwater, or as he is better known as ex-^ouncilloi* Dauphine, has been a sick man for the past three years. His health gradually fors-ook him, until by degrees ho was forced to give up doing all kinds of work. Ho consulted a physician and took a large quantity of medicine, but it did him no good and he gradually grew weaker and weaker. His duties as a magistrate necessitated his doing much writing, and being an^excellent panman in his days of good health, it came very hard to him when his hand shook so much he could scarcely keep it steady enough to sign hta name. His daughter, seeing his de'plorable condition, advised him to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after a bit of coaxing he was induced to try them. There was no noticeable change in his condition until ho had started taking the third box. From that on the improvement was rapid. He grew stronger every day, hia appetite increased, the weariness and lassitude departed from his limbs, some of tbe lustre of his youth returned to his eye, aud by the time five boxes were used, Mr. Dauphine felt a new man. The weight of years and the burden of sickness have rolled from his shoulders, his hands aro now steady and his pen can run as rapidly as ever. Ho attributes his cure to the ministration of a good wife and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Dauphine is 73 years of age, but feels as young and vigorous as he did years ngo, and is ever ready to praise in the warmest terms the health-giving qualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the friend of the weak and ailing. They surpass all other medicines in their tonic, strengthening qualities, and make weak ami despondent people bright, active and healthy. These pills are sold by all dealers in medi- Cijne, or can be had by mail, postpaid, at 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Drockville, Ont.

No man ever made a cent by being one. And, as a rule, tbe blggist knocker is the man who has the least at stake. There ia still too much snow in the hills to get around with ease, but the warm weather is causing the heavy banks to disappear rapidly. Marysville ia going to be ao attractive place far people who wish to have an outlag of a few days this summer. Several Cranbrook families contemplate coming to Marysville thia summer to camp and eojiy tbeacenery and fishing of thia ideal section. District Divisions.

MUNN «Co.36""^'New York Branch Olllco, (SS V BU Wiublnaton, ll. V. Dr J. H. King of Oranbrook, visited Marysville Thursday. He was accompanied by his fatber, a member of the 1) iirilnlun Senate, who Is visiting his sons In Cranbrook. Tbe Senator was greatly Impressed with the changes that had taken place here since his last visit to this section two years ago. Dr. S.i wyer has gone, for a visit, to West K idenay. His genial manner and many horse stories are missed by his numerous friends In Marysville who hope tbat be will soon return. Mrs. I.iwler who has charge of the kitchen at the Iliyal hotel, was the recepient of a nice present from the bachelors for her ktudness In serving lunch on tbe occasion of the bachelor's ball a abort lime ago. Mr. IIjrden tbe baker, Is new prepared to furnish fresh bread every day* Me has put la a Hue place at considerable expense and Is entitled to a liberal patronage from the people of Marys- vllle. Here Is a prediction from Old Man Simpson; Within six weeks time there will be from 103 to 150 men employed on tbe smelter construction and Mirysvllle will be one of the best points in Some East Kootenay, and everybody In the town will be feeling good. "Mark It on the calendar." The work bas been suspended on the roasters for a few days, to await the decision of the board now In session In Spokane on a few important features As a consequence the nun are taking au enforced vacation. The Fatber 1'at memorial fund at Rossland is growing. Efforts a're being mide to oust I?. A. Brad3haw, recently elected mayor of Slocan. St. L-ion Hot Springs, a new sanitarium on Arrow Lake, owned by M. Grady, was opened to the public this week, Joo. A. McKelvey, e-litor of the Ver non News, was married list Saturday at Ii issland to Miss Jessie Stewart Mc- lutyre. The Era Is after the Golden town, site owners and wants them to live up to their agreement with the government. Tbe government gave them the townslre, It -ays, upon the condition that they should huiid and opeiale a smelter, and the company hive built a smelter, but thev are not operating it, List week's ore shipments from lioss- Land consisted only of those from the L-i ii.i mine, which sent out 5 505 tons. There are elite to 300 men permanently employed In the camp around Slocan City, divided among the Transfer, Arlington, Speculator, Enterprise, Neepawa and Iron Horse. Seme 15 or 20 Ltrdeau mines are awaiting the completion of the new railway to that section to begin ship, meuts of high grade ore to tbe Trail smelter. It Is expected the line will be completed In 00 days. Last week the mines around Sandon shipped 180 tons of ore. Improvements at the Trail smelter have been practically completed. Tbe Fisher Maiden, Slocan, will aoon be added to the shipping list. The Imperial Development Co, Is working 13 or 14 men on the Eva. J m Shielda has got through rawhid- ing the 40 tons from the Beatrice. Shipments of ore to the Greenwood smelter are again being made from the Snowshoe. Tbe Beatrice la now being worked by Frank Fulmer and Mrs. Anderson. Four men are working on a 600 foot tunnel wblcb Is expected to tap tbe lead at a depth of OiO feet. Djviil Bogle has auceeded Chas. Lugrin as editor of the Colonist. Mr. Bogle is a forcible writer, and few men are better posttd on provincial affairs. It was officially announced at Montreal on Feb. 27th, that the Canadian Northern railway, which now runa from 1'ort Arthur, on Lake Superior, to Winnipeg, will be extended at once to Edmonton, Northwest Territory, through the Yellow Head pass of the Kicky Mountains Into British Columbia. Tbe I'aclllc terminus will be at Bute Inlet, a line harlnr, with ferry communication with Ninatmo, Vancouver island and also with Victoria, the provincial capital. The British Columbia government has promised the enterprise a cash subsidy of $1,800,000, aa well aa a land ?rant of 8.0U0 000 acres. The country to be opened Is said to be richer than tbat through which the Canadian Pad. dc rnus. The ore chute tn the Silversmith drift has widened out to (onr feet and a half In the face. It la clean solid steel galena, of very high grade. Assays as high as 1,500 ounces to the ton bave been had, while the whole vein will run several hundred ounces. The Silversmith belongs to the Byron N, Whlet Co., owner of the famous Slocan Star. Ore la again being hauled from the Bodle mine, acro-s the line, to Midway, destined tot tb« Grssawj)! smelter, It Is wrong for the people of Eastern Canada to charge tbe mines of Kootenaya and Ya-le for their losaea which ahonld rather be set down to reckleaa stock speculation and ia not in any way due to the mice, bnt rather to over capitalization, a the devious waya of promoters. The experience of the V/ar Eagle Is a replica of many othera on which stock losses have been experienced by tbose who speculated in their shares.—Nelson Miner. This week the Granby mines have been shipping ahout 900 tons daily. In tbe course of two or tbree weeks tbe new timber shaft of the Old Iron* sides will be ready for use. It will be used solely for lowering timber Into the Victoria and Old Ironsides mines. Some of the finest surface ore yet found on the Knob Hill was recently encountered at a point where tbe rise from the tunnel level to tbe glory hole drift la being continued to the surface. W A. Galliher, of Nelson, member of Yale-Ctrlboo In the Commona, bas gone to Ottawa, to attend the opening of (he Dominion parliament. On thing Mr. Galliher propoaea to pay special attention to is the Improvement of postal facilities In bis constituency. Hiy good luck attend him. The galena ledge on the Last Chance property has been tapped at a depth of 1.600 feet by the cross-cut tnnnel which waa started eighteen months ago, and on which work haa been prosecuted steadily since. The tunnel la 1 800 feet In length, is seven by nine in the clear, and cost abont (50,000 00. In many ways It bas been a unique understanding. Prior to starting this tunnel, the ledge had never been prospected below a depth of 60 feet, and on property in the Slocan had been worked to any. thing like tbe depth attained by this tunnel. The results, however, have not only realized the most sanguine expectations of Its promoters, but Is a source of much encouragement to others engaged in mining enterprises in the Slocan country, as it proves that the ore bodies of the camp, not only reach great depth, but that they maintain their size and value. This tunnel Is the finest piece of work of the kind in British Columbia, and the depth, attained Is greater than that of any other mine tn the Province.
