ruary 24, 25 and 26 at the Mcllck &

huge success, both In point of at

attended by good crow.ls, a'though
the condition of the roads actt i pa a
handicap the first day. The couisj

reels of film were shown picturing
the tractors in actual operating con
dition. The course also covered
plowing, with explanations of the va
rious kinds of plows and the uses to
which the ywere best adapted.
The following Instructors and
sales agents were present duflng the
three days: Charles Watts, general
salesman with the Fulmer-Johnson
Oas Engine company; William
O'Connell, general traveler, Mollne
Flow company, assisted by Claude
Breckenfield, special harvester man,
and F. M. McFarland, service man;

salesman; A. E. Doll, service man

who were In Alliance to boost the
show.
"Wonderful"
Recods Played At
Their Best
Praise is instant when one
hears the new Brunswick.
"I never, heard that record
played so well," is the usual
remark.
The Brunswick method of
reproduction brings out
..tones hitherto lost. Each
record is played at its best.
Come in and hear the new
Brunswick. Then make comparisons.

THU STORM KKWKIt
C. C. Nichols, engineer In the em
ploy of Grant & Fulton, who Is bark
on the job in charge of the city's con
struction projects, is still a hustler.
When Mr. Nichols left Alliance a
few weeks ago, It was his Intention
to enter business for himself, but
the uncertainty of market conditions
and a fat raise from the cencern rec
onciled him to wait six months be
fore carrying out his plans. He will
remain in Alliance for the next
month or six weeks and get the city's
work well under way, after which
another engineer will be Bent here.
The first work on the program is
the storm sewer district. Cement
forms have been put In place, and
three manholes will be poured to
day, at Second and Laramie, Second
and Cheyenne and Second and Nio
brara. This work will proceed as
fast as possible unless cold weather
should call a halt. There are thirty
four manholes in the storm sewer
dlBtrlct.
There are, besides the storm sewer
project, the sanitary sewer and pav
ing districts. Sometime this year
4,120 feet of sanitary sewer will be
laid, but construction work has not
been started. A force of men is un
loading sand for the paving.
HERE'S UNTOLD WEALTH
FOR II LM WHO FINDS IT
Somewhere, among the rock craigs
of the Granite range, in Nevada, is
a rich vein of gold enough to make
several men wealthy, probably
waiting to be discovered. City Man
ager Smith has in his desk a sample
of quartz with a heavy vein of the
gold showing plainly, pure gold that
Bticks out in little gobs all over it.
The city manager was presented
with that piece of quartz four years
ago by an old prospector with whom
he stayed one night while on a sur
veying trip in the Granite range, se
lecting grazing land for the Gerlach
Land & Livestock company of Deep
hole, Nev. Mr. Smith used to do
considerable surveying in other days,
and he says that range is one of the
most Bplendid he has ever Been.
Plenty of timber, lots of game and
hundreds of clear springs. It is an
ideal place for a hunting excursion.
This prospector found, in ono of
the valleys in this range, several
samples of this rich quartz, and has
spent twenty or more years in a vain
effort to find the gold. He is an old
man now, and has spent his life look
ing for it. Years ago, in some
snowstorm or landslide, pieces of the
rock were washed down, and there's
no clue to the location. An assay of
some of the samples shows it to be
worth over $20,000 to the ton rich
ore, indeed. Ten to fifty tons of It
would make a man Independent for
life.
If you're fond of adventure, it
would be a pleasant place to look for
a lost gold mine. True, some of the
rock walls are a thousand or more
feet high, but other folks have spent
more time and accomplished as little
as the old prospector.
Take a look over the columns of
the Herald for this week and note
the number of good looking adver
tisements. You'll find that there
are two things that go to make up

THE MYSTERY LADY
By JACK LAWTON.

were excited over her coming. Il wai
seldom Hint anything out of the ordi
nary happened and there was much
Interesting speculation as to her pur
pose In staying mining thorn. It whs
not os though the arrival had been !
there before, or lunl friends In the
vicinity. Neither had she seen the
I'ryor place, it b positively known,
until the diiy when she alighted from
nn afternoon train and walked Idly
down the main street.
The old vacated house attracted her
In passing, for she hud paused before
Its broken gate and then walked brisk
ly Inside. Miss Peters watching, then
saw the lady go over to the hotel
where she had been know? to ask
questions concerning the owner of the
house. Finding that he had long de
serted the place for the city she
sought out his agent In a grocery store
and rented the desolate residence.
The new tenant was pretty, Miss
Teters admitted. "In nn extreme citi
fied sort of way." Certain It proved
that the young womnn was "extremely
pretty." Also, she msscssed a plenslng
manner which charmed the store
keepers to whom she went for supplies
end Information.
"I will need a womnn to help me at
once," she said. "Could you suggest
some person In your locality?"
The grocer was gliid to suggest Ann
Trimble, and promptly Ann came.
It was a case of mutual admiration
from the first. Ann stood In awe be
fore her lovely, modish young mistress
while Judith Uay smiled into the
wrinkled face of the gaunt old woman.
"You are exactly the one 1 shall
need," she said graciously, "to look
after me generally."
The taking of the house was an
Impulse, Judith Gny explained- The
beautiful country had fascinated her
bo that she wished to remain to enjoy
the fancy while it lasted.
"I have deckled to furnish only three
rooms," she confided to the formidable
Miss Peters. Ann will buy for me
what Is needed here In town." And
Ann did ; that was the mystery part
of It.
When n beautiful womnn arrives In
an Isolated country village with mere
ly a sultcnse for Imggnge, and fur
nishes immediately part of a tumble
down house for occupancy, there Is
surely something unusual In the pro
ceeding. "Sunnyvllle" discussing Its
new neighbor. In vlne-st-i eened
porches, ran the gamut of possibili
ties. She might be a female detective on
duty, or an actual murderess in hiding.
Whatever her secret, the young
woman appeared to enjoy herself
mightily. She could be heard singing
about the tangled gnrden mornings, or
chatting amusedly with Ann Trimble
on a Bide veranda at twilight.
Ann bought many delicacies at the
grocery and Judith Gay visited .the
austere dressmaker for the purpose
of having frocks made of dimity.
The stranger looked more charming,
If that could be possible. In her new
simple frocks, than she bad In the
modish gown.
"You're like a bit of a girl," Ann
6ald adoringly.
"She's an actress, that what she Is,"
the dressmaker dryly remarked.
Sunnyvllle's two unattached men a
wife-hunting widower and a wife-shy
bachelor, braved the mockery of the
town to call upon the mysterious lady.
The widower departed discouraged
while the sought-after bachelor was
decidedly peeved.
"She can keep to herself If she Is
set on doing It as she Bays,", he an
nounced. "I for one won't bother her."
Hut thereafter, though he formed a
habit of passing many times the old
I'ryor bouse, Its mistress continued
Joyously bent upon her own society.
It was when the distinguished ap
pearing man began his visits, that the
entire town drew within Itself In
shocked surprise. This fine looking
stranger was wont to arrive on an
early morning train from the city to
spend the day with Judith Gay in her
garden. Miss Peters beard the girl
give a startled cry at bis first comiug,
then she had actually seen the man
catch the mystery lady close In an
embrace. It was scandalous that
townspeople must witness such goings
on.
She hinted caustically at the occur
rence when Judith crossed to the
hedge.
"You're going to marry him of
course," said Miss Peters.
"Oh! No I'm not," laughed the girl.
Then unexpectedly Sunnyvllle was de
void of Its one Interest. The Mystery
Lady had disappeared.
"Left town on the night train with
that city fellow," the station agent
said.
Miss Peters Indignantly sought out
Ann Trimble, who was closing up the
house doors.
"She'll not come back here," said
Miss Peters.
"She will," Ann replied, "she's gone
into the city with her husband to
arrange for flxln' this old place op.
Seems like she wanted to spend the
summer In the country. An' her hus
band joked ber about It that she
wouldn't dare to. So she cam oo here
herself to show him. She's had him
address her letters to me, so there'd
be no mistake about getting 'em." Ana
napped the door shut "Reckon this
Is going to be t pretty fine place," she
aid proudly, "an reckon I know some
folks who won't be Invited to call." I
