Thus it came to pass that her friends —beat, moat of them, on the object of getting soma! hing at a price far below tho market-lavished praise upon her aud hinted with mealy mouths nt the gratification tbey would experience were she to run over some day nud just take a snap nt their houses or tbelr babies or this, tbut nud the other; which hints she understood perfectly and procaeded to turn to practical tic- count. She gatberod from the gabbling of these friends thnt what ouch of tbem most desired wns n photograph to send to some one at Christmas time; a photograph, or a collection of photographs If tho price were not too high, which would give Mnud or Mltmlo or Marion an Idea of tho lovely village In which tbey lived. Then it wns that Mrs. Boxley, perceiving tbo demand, set herself to work upon tbo tusk of supplying It. Her Idea wus to eater to nil the bints at one foil swoop, And the result wns tho famous "Blue Book," it collection of twenty photographs In blue print, mounted upon excellent paper, bound In fancy blue covers nnd (led with blilo satin ribbon, These hooks she snld, actually sold, nt $1,115 for each copy, Thu call for them wus such that she wus unable to prepare gifts for her own absent friends.

She kissed the baby rapturously, nml, Mr. boxley arriving iitiiii.• ut tluu Instant, she kissed him also niul scattered tears of joy adown ins shirt front. "Dear tiie!" exclaimed Mr. Huxley, returning the endearment perfunctorily. "Whnt bus happened?" Mrs, Boxley had Indulged In no such demonstrations for it number of weeks, having been too fully engrossed with other mailers; consequently Mr. Box- Icy bad fallen Into the habit of expecting nothing of the sort. Ho returned tin- kiss in u half hearted, chilling wuy, because he felt that it was not compatible with bis dignity to conduct himself like a boy who bus come, niter it period of undeserved punishment, into favor again, "Whul bus bnppeiied?** he repented, "Klghty-two dollars nnd twenty-five cents:" replied his wife, withdrawing bcr arms I'rum about his neck, Ho looked nt her with an udmfrutlon he Could not repress, mid took from his pocket a letter. "It la from Tom Elliott," he snld In explanation, dropping Into n ebiilr nnd drawing ber to his Bide. "He Is coming buck to spend the holiduys, and he Bays he Is so happy that be cannot describe it.

Mr. Boxley slowly unfolded the letter, "He says," bo replied, "that In the picture- Lhe plcturo of the house in your book, heaven bless It:—be notices u Intneh of ruses.

But do you think, dear, tbat Madge wns actuated by sentiment when she placed tbem there, or did It just happen? Will she -will she"- "Slie will," said Mrs. Boxley with conviction, "She has been very miserable; she told tnu so. But, dear, she bus not given In. Tom will come, nnd she will think It Is he who bus taken tha first step toward reconciliation.

While most white lead is still made by the old Dutch process of slow corros ion. there are several new ways,says the Rossi anil Miner, one of the best being the Bailey method: as in operation at Jersey Cily, N. J , where the lead is smelted in a big cauldron 10 feet above the factory lloor, and run into a second smaller pot over a slow fne, which keeps it at an even temperature. At the bottom of Ihis second pot is a short horizontal 2 1-2 inches nozzle, which ends iu a thin aleel plate, perforated wilb about 200 liny holes|through which the melted lead is forced by the hydrostatic presume of its own mass, becoming Immediately solldfied as it falls through the air in fine fibers of about .01 in diameter, It cools so rapidly that one can hold his hand In the stream of fine lend filaments which cluster in festoons around it. Bunches of this fiber are forked into I rays 5 f"t by 3 feet, 5 inches deep, each tray holding about 75 pounds, piled in stacks or tiers, through which carbon dioxide makes Its way from the bottom As the trays are filled with the lead fiber they nre momentarily iiinnen.ed, singly, iu a lank inula niug llll » per cent, solution of No, Work On Thc Smeller. MarysvllJu Tribune. The Sullivan Group Mining company have be in holding a meeting in Spi kane this week with special reference to the smelter uow being creeled at this point. Until this meeting is over the main work on 1 lie construction has been stopped so that some matteis of policy may be adjusted. Ai soon as Ihis Is done a very much larger force of men will be put to work and the construction will be pushed with far more vigor than heretofore. Within a few days a large number of mechanics cf all hinds will be at work. laying brick, adjusting corrugated iron, installing machinery and doing a linn dred and one things that will have to be done to complete the work. As March gives place to April Marysville wlil be a busy booming hive of Industry. Many stores and places ol business will open up and cur business streets will have a more townlike air. A liltle later, say about May the tlrst, a great number of prospectors will make our town their onilittlng point before startIrg nn their summers v 0 li among the mountains of the St. Marys river. La .er still abcut the beginlng of June Marysville will have reached the permanent stage, that is, by that time ihe smelter will have been blown In and lhe permanent torce of smelter workmen, to operate the plant, will have arrltcd, The advent of this will mean the arrival of families and consequently lhe building up of homes and as a natural sequence the building of churches, schools and other public buildings which will tend to make Marysvllle the home town which we have always predicted she would be. Ci We have heard It said, lime and time again, that a smeller town ls not a pleasant place lu which lo live. Marysvllle Is "the exception lu which proves the rule." Of all the beautiful situations lu Bast Kootenay, aud the dislrict Is fall of them, Mai ysy llle Is by fur the most attractive. The magnlflclent valley of lhe St. Marys below the townsite aud the view up and down the river and ttie falls are sights for aillsts to dream of. To the north ot the Main street the paiklike, timber dotted benches will make Ideal residential sites. Along the banks of Mark Greek many beautiful spots can be omul where homes will be established and lo lhe east, on what Is known as 87 acre tract, good lots can be had at a very reasonable price. The amelter buildings areso situated so the snu lu*. will ulow up aud down tlie river and thus the town wlil not have the disadvantage of being envelope in smeller fumes which Is the draw uack of so many smelter towns. Not only Is Maiysvllle most favrrably situated, from a home town point of view, but as a business centre she will be heard from. Situated as she In as the only point fiom which the prospector can start for the St, Marys country she will of necessity be the baue of supplies ft r that district as also for the districts lying adjacent 10 the North Star and Sullivan hills, She will also be the market town for the ranchers of the St. Marys prairie country, Cherry Creek and the country lying between the St. Marys and the Kootenay. All of theBe circumstances will tend to build up a prosperous town and a prosperous community. When the townsite of Maryr-vtlle was pit on the market last fall those who placed lhe townsite on thu market knew what was going to happen aud told tbe people so, that what were believed Is evidenced by the fad that those wbo have bought lots In the town, that those who have engaged lu business In the town are men of experience. In lhe wesl and men who have made a success of business iu lhc west. What ihe owners of the Marysville tOWQsIte sii.l last fall they still say.

It ls more valuable tliuii yours. At any rate, It is much better paid for. Find, therefore, tho prisoner guilty of abduction, Which rests, mlud ye, on four points— the father wus not averse, the mother wns uot opposed, the girl wns willing nud the boy wns convaynlent" The jury found the prisoner guilty, uud tho judge sentenced him to remain In the dock llll the rising of tho court.
