My hair wasn’t like the heroine’s in a story. You know, when their hair gets damp it always curls up into little, clinging tendrils. Well, mine don't. And, when I saw myself standing there in my wretched old wrapper, with mystringy hair, and face covered with what Isaac calls presperation, I felt like fleeing as a bird to the mountain. But I didn't. I just went back to my washing. Prompt at three o'clock Isaac drove up to the fenee. I could see him from the window, with his gloves on and gold-rimmed glasses, and collar standing way up around his ears. When the children came a-racing through the house to tell me he had come I just said, calmly, “Bring him out here.” 7 Pretty soon in came Isaac. I couldn't see him very plain for a minute through the steam, and for a minute he didn’t speak. At last he says, ip the funniest voice: “What does this mean?” “It just means I'm kind of busy this afternoon,” says 1, as1 picked up a pile of dirty clothes off of a chair and offered him a seat. “How do you like my lily complexion to-day, Isaac?” “rm sure—I don’t understand,” h BENNETT LURED TO HIS DEATH Miss Zane Then Struck First Blow After Which Others Finished Him—Tragedy Was Deliberately Plotted. Wheeling, W. Va—In an appalling confession made the other day by Charles Cook, 18 years old; his wife, Lila Zane Cook, 20, and Joseph White, 21, the police learned for the first time how Charles Bennett, a youthful rival of young Cook before the latter's marriage to Miss Zane, was murdered on Wheeling Island last September. Mrs. Cook is a descendant of the aristocratic Zane family, which once oWied all of Wheeling and the island. She is an athletic girl of unusual beauty and has held a prominent place among the young folk in local society. The police say the confessions of the three agree in every detail and there is no doubt they aretelling the truth. Bennett and Cook were bitter rivals for the hand of Miss Zane, and last summer fought over her. Miss Zane became embittered against Bennett, and then, it is declared, his murder was deliberately plotted Bennett was invited to visit the girl at her home on the island. When he called he found Cook and the quarrel was resumed. Bennett left the house but Miss Zane called to him to wait for her. “I want to talk with you,” she said, according to her confession to the police. Bennett and the girl walked toward the river, They were standing on the point of the island when Cook and White appeared. Just what object White had in aiding Cook hag not been made plain. As the men cameinto view, the girl says, she took a large club which lay says. “I feel kind of stunned.” “You'd better feel stunned before you're married than afterwards,” says I, “I don't think any man ought to marry a gir) till he’s seen her in her everyday clothes.

The roads between the two points are fine, and around Deer Lodge is an abundance of wood and water. March was the best month in the history of the Valcalda mine in the way of remunerative returns, says the Tonopah Sun. Recently a new body of ore was struck, which returns assays from $32 to $200. This ledge has been penetrated to the present time a distance of forty feet, and the tunnel is still in ore. A strong body of ore has been en countered in the south drift of the Prior & Chadbourne lease on the Mazuma Hills ground, at Seven Troughs, Nevada, a series of assays indicating an average value per ton between $1,600 and $1.700. It is said that from one to three feet of the vein will maintain this high average. Following a warning received through an anonymous letter that un- less the Chai Pion coal mine of the Royal Coal & Coke company at Du- rango, Colo., was made safe by re pairs, the mine would be blown up, an explosion occurred in the mine which completely wrecked the workings and perhaps fatally injured three persons.
