The secretary, shivering in the knifelike wind slipping down from tile bald peaks, had not long to wait. By the time his eyes were fitted to the darkness he heard a man coming up the track, the snow crunching under his steady stride. frostily Jastrow ducked under the platform and gained a view point on the other side of the car. The crunching footfalls had ceased, and a man was swinging himself up to the forward step of the Rosemary. At the Instant a voice just above the spy's head called softly: "Mr. Winton!" and the newcomer dropped back into the snow and came tramping to the rear. The secretary saw him take her hand and heard her exclamation, half indignant, wholly reproachful: "You had my note. I told you not to come!" "So you did, and yet you were expecting me." he asserted. He was still holding her hand, and she could not or did not withdraw it. There was a "Was I, indeed!" raillery in the touch of the words, but it was gone when she added: "Oh, why will you keep on coming and coming when you know so well what it means to you and your work?" "I think you know the answer to that better than anyone," he rejoined, his voice matching hers for "It is because I love earnestness. you; because I could not stay away if I should try.

But when she spoke the. secretary's anger cooled and he breathed again. "No; a thousand times, No," she burst out passionately; and Winton staggered as if the suddenly freed hand had dealt him a blow. 1 old-tim- e CHAPTER X.

"I only know what you have shown me during the past three weeks, and it has proved that you are what Mr. Adams said you were though he was only jesting." "And that is?" "A faineant, a dilettante; a man with all the ability to do as he will and to succeed, and yet who will not take the trouble to persevere." Winton smiled, a grim little smile. You are not quite like any other woman I have ever known not like any other in the world. I believe.

Boise. Idaho Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners and with William D. Haywood, acquitted on Sunday of the murder of former Governor Steunenberg. was ordered released on $25,000 bail on Monday Judge by Wood, who presided at the Haywood trial. Nn application for bail was made in the case of George A. I'ettiboue, the third of the alleged conspirators, but a motion was made for a speedy trial and his case was ordered set down for Tuesday, October 1. Counsel intimated that they might apply for bond for Pettibone later, but it is not believed that the state's attorneys will consent. It has been generally claimed that the state has more inPetticriminating evidence against bone than any of the others, while It has been generally conceded that the case against Moyer is the weakest of the three. The defense In the Haywood case admitted that there were a number of things for Mr. Pettibone to explain as to his association with Hany Orchard and the sending of money, to him, but they said it would be time enough to deal with these matters when Pettibone himself was placed on trial. Moyer and Pettibone were brought into court at 2 o'clock. The latter's wife was present and broke down and cried when the ordar was made releasing Moyer and holding her husband. It was said Monday night that Pettibone may be taken back to the Canyon county jail at Caldwell until The the time for his trial arrives. case and the prisoners were brought to Boise six months ago on a change of venue from Canyon to Ada county. Bond for Moyer was given in a unique way, suggested by Attorney Peter Breen of Butte, Mont., who has been associated with the defense. The Butte local of the Western Federation of Miners is the richest in the organization and Mr. Breen said car ries a deposit of from $100,000 to $14't 000 constantly in the bank. Arrangements were made by Wire by Mr. Breen to have the Butte union make $25,000 subject to draft by the First National bank of Boise. "We were offered personal bond in several times the amount desired here in Boise." said Mr. Breen, "but we preferred not to impose upon any of our friends to that extent when the Butte union has such a large surplus and was anxious for the honor of showing its allegiance and confidents f in the president of the federation."

The expense to the defense has bee't a great deal more than to the state. It has been staled by those who hav. been close to the defense that so far the defense has spent very close toll 50,000 in defending William D. Hayal-;:- wood. On June f. a settlement was had between Canyon county and Ada county for the amount spent by the latter county on account of the Haywood trial and Canyon county issued war1" '. rants to Ada county totaling 8:6.2", ihe amount spent to that date. This Included all per diem witness fees and mileage only from staK lines. The mileage outside, the state and witness experts to other the state line were paid from state apatpropriations. From the same fund torney fees were paid, also the pay of certain deputies, detectives' fees, etc., all of which amounted up to something over $t.5,000. It is interesting to note that much of the expense has been on account of the jury. All jurors summoned, while on duty and until excused wera allowed $3 per day. That amount has meant that twelve men for 76 days, of the trial, received $36 per day and that in all 248 persons summon id as jurors each received 'i per day for days running from one up to an average of six days each. All of U time since May 9, five bailiffs have, each received $5 per day and there have been a number of special deputies drawing each $3 per day. Several by of these have been paid directly Canyon county, but most of them have drawn their pay in state warrants from the appropriation fund. All of the time since the trial the jurors lutve been housed IB a dwelling house especially fitted up for them. The house has cost Canyon county in rent $7.50 per day since May 8. To feed the ju.ors up to .lime 6, it hal taken groceries to the amount M $477.50. That included the purcha.M of some tableware and conking Utensils. The meat bill up to that time) amounted to $119. There were other household expenses a man to look; after the house, a woman to keep G.e housework up. a cook and servants. The trial of William D. Haywood started on May 9. There were altogether 248 veniremen summoned of whom thirty-nine- ; were excused fOT statutory excuses were finally and of whom twenty-threexcused without being examined, having been left over after the jury wa3 secured. Of the jurors "ow in the box, two have been serving as jurors since the first day of the trial. They are Samuel F. Russell and Samuel D. Oilman. These two were called to the jury box on May 9. They are the only juror left of the original panel which reported May 9. On May 13 there reported for duty the first special panel of veniremen. 100 in all. There are serving on the Jury six men selected from that panel, they being Levi Smith, Lee Schriv-ener- , Thomas B. Gess, George Powell, Daniel Clark and A. P. Hums. On May 25 the second special venlro of sixty talesmen reported. From that whole panel but one Juror was selected. That one who Is serving Is Fin-leMcBean.
