A Wild Night By ESTHER WALDORF MESSENGER (Copyright, Ul, by th Wetern New. p&ptr Union.) If Victor L'lnd hud glanced twice nt Miss Arllne Dniry, he might huvo (lis covered Interest, nnd possibly some thing deeper In the face of the only daughter nnd heiress of his employer, Robert Dniry. The very f-vt that shi was such, however, ncvnuiud to place an Insurmountable harrier between them. lie wns therefore contented with n mere casual look at n face rath er Intellectual thnn lovoly, although the eyes were deep weJIs of expres sion likely to attract the seeker after real heart worth and fidelity. Victor held only a fairly paid posi tion In the establishment of Dniry & Co., but ho stayed on, making up for the boredom of routine days by spend ing leisurely evenings ns enjoynbly as possible. Miss Arllne Dniry had visited the plant occasionally. It happened af ter Victor's first sight of her that she camo moro frequently. She had pass ed his desk sovernt times and bestow ed upon him the slight nod she award ed nil whom she selected ns knowing by sight. He was passing down a narrow roadwny Between two build ings of the plant ono day, when dashing Into its other end came a tenm of horses attached to n wagon loaded with Iron. At n glance Victor recognized a runaway and fifty feet ahead his vision took in a girlish form shrinking to the brick wall. Victor realized her danger. He swiftly dash ed toward her, snatched nt her sway ing form, backed into a niche where there was n door, burst It in with a powerful iungo of his stout shoulders, nnd held her shivering and overcome. For Just a moment the grateful, expres sive eyes of the girl held his own in thrall. Then ho recognized her ns the daughter of his employer. "Wo can pass through the store room to the offlco, If you please," ho said. Arllne Drury, pale and trem bling, bowed an nssent nnd he left her as they entered the office building. The next dny Victor was sent for by Mr. Drury. The hitter did not relax from his habitual cold dignity, but In a business-like tone announced to Vic tor his promotion to n higher position. As Victor went hack to his desk young Ernest Drury followed him. Ho was n mere lad, but there was deep sin cerity In his bearing ns ho grasped Victor's hand. 4,My sister told mo to convey her deep gratitude to you for saving her life," he said, "nnd sho she nsked me to tell you sho will not forget." There was a thrill In the boy's tones, but tho momentnry Impress of emotion passed from Victor's mind. Ho nnd some boon companions had arranged for n meeting and latr, hours that evening nnd his thoughts were cen tered on thnt. It wns n wild night, for some roystcrlng members of the coterlo Indulged freely in strong drink, an adjournment was made, to n placo whero gambling was going on nnd Victor found himself In his room the next morning with no recollection of how he had arrived there. He wns mortified, then shamed and repentant, and then, ns his memory cleared, stnrtled and appalled. With the vividness of n lightning flnsh there recurred to him the events of tho pre vious evening. He. had fallen Into tho hands of a group of card sharks and hnd been Induced to risk the money be hnd, nnd then he. hnd Indorsed n draft given to him for collection and had signed tho nnmo of his employer to n check for a largo amount. He recnllcd tho mnn who had lured him into this net of peril and guilt. Ills nnmo wns .Tackson, nnd, renllzlng thnt ne wns in n torrlbjo position, his rep utntlon gone, his future blnsted. Vic tor hurried on his clothes to seek Jackson. Thc.ro wns n knock nt tho door of his room. Serious faced, Er nest Drury entered. "Mr. Llnd," ho said, "here nro some papers you hnd better destroy nnd for get. I hnve no cxplnnntlnn to mnke. I come, as emissary of another, whom I am not freo to nnme, nnd who ex- pj-esscs tho hopo that you will never ugnln yield to tho Influence of those who last night nearly led to your ruin." Then the visitor was gonn Victor stood staring In startled bewilderment at tho drnft and check ho hnd given Jackson. Then n conception of his narrow cscnpo from ruin overenmo him. ne snnk to his knees beside Ids bed and nroso a penitent nnd grnte ful mnn, resolved never ngnln to skirt the delusive path of guilty plensure. After thnt, young Drury seemed to put himself out of tho way to act friendly nnd helpful toward Victor, but never would he discuss tho mntter of the forged documents. As If quite In cldentnlly ho Invited Victor to tho Drury homo, nnd within a hnlf-yenr Victor wns engnged to Arllno Drury, It wns Just nfter their first child was born thnt Victor enme ncross tho pnpcjs that revealed to him thnt Ar llno hnd loved him from tho first tlmo Bho met him, Unit to her wns due his rnpld ndvanccmcnt in bnslnoss nnd his rescuo from tho power of scheming gamblers. He replaced tho papers reverently. Ho never told of their discovery, but tho inspiration of th entno gnvo to his lifo n new devoted ness to Arllno thnt became the ono Impulse of Ids being. Tho rhit aim of every alligator's Ufo is to become a satchel. MEXICO'S MANY "LOST" MINES Operators and Prospectors Driven Prom Their Work bv Threats and ' Depredations of Yaquls. Many of the lost mines of Mexico were tho result of depredutlons of the l'aqtil Indians. They killed or drove prospectors from the country nnd ob literated marks of the workings. Thus many mines, with grent possibilities, were lost. Ono of the mines of the KstreHa del Norte Mining company was lost for many years. The only clue to Its location was found on an old Jesuit map, which said It could be seen by looking from a church door. The church wns found and the land dug up ns fnr us could be seen from the door, but no trnce of tho mine wns found. Later, after tho search wns discontinued, a wnll that had been built at a dale Inter thnn the map, fell down and exposed another door. Men with field glasses, looking from this door, discovered the old mine. Many of the churches of Mexico that cause the world to wouder, be cause of their architecture nnd price- ess ornnments, owe their existence to mines. The Baroycca church, built in 1702, was built from the wealth de rived from the Minn Grnnde mine, in Bnroyecn mountnln. I'rlor to 1850 tho walls were lined with sheets of pure silver from the mine. The cnndeln bra, the altar rails and other parts of tho sanctuary were of sliver, nnd the nltnr vessels were of pure gold. GROWTH OF HOSPITAL IDEA Value of Such Institutions In American Eyes Is Shown by Their As tounding Growth. Figures in a recent ofllclnl report to the United Stutes department of la bor show the astounding growtji of the hospltnl Idea In this country during tho Inst hnlf-century. In 1873 less thnn CO yenrs ngo there were In the United Stntos only 140 hospitals; to day there nre nearly 0,100 nn In crease of nenrly 0,000 per cent in the number of Institutions. In 1873 the total capacity of the then-existing hos pitals wns 35,453; today the hospitals of tho country have a total capacity of approximately 800,000 beds an In- crenso of over 1,000 per cent. The amount of money nt present Invested In these Institutions Is roughly esti mated at nearly $2,000,000,000 ; the an nual expedlture for supplies, equip ment, upkeep and new construction is snld to ho about $750,000,000. There Is much that Is' gratifying In these enormous totals, says nn edltorl al In the Modern Hospltnl. Certain ly, no stronger testimony could be ad duced to show that tho people of the United States nre thoroughly convert ed to the hospital Idea, anil do not mean to he deprived of the benefits of hospital care. Paper Has But One Subscriber. It lias been thu Inflexible custom In (he Imperial family of Japan, says a writer In Knst and West News, to withhold all newspnpers nnd maga zines from Its members until they at tain their eighteenth year, but the rule was waived In tho caso of Hlro hlto, the present crown prince. Four months before his Imperial highness entered upon his eighteenth year he wns allowed to begin reading n spe cially prepnred Journal. This curious nowspaper wns edited by nn ofllclnl of the linperlnl house hold and printed In tho Imperial print ing office. It was set In special type and printed on thick Jnpancso pnper. The rending of It did not require n grent deal -of tlmo, for It wns o small size and on a single sheet. Very Much Convalescent. Helen hnd tho whooping cough, nnd so wns not Invited to her little friend Margaret's birthday party, though the list Included all the other children In the neighborhood. On tho morning of tho affair tho telephone girl might have overheard the following conversntlon "Hollo." "Hello, Is this Mnrgnrct Hlllficld's houso?" "Yes." "Is this you Margaret?" "Yes. Who is this?" "This Is Helen Marten. You nre going to huvo u birthday party today, aren't you?" "Yes." "Well, suy, Murgnret. I'm nil over tho whooping cough now." Origin of "Tenderloin." Tho namo "tenderloin" wns orlgl nnlly nppllcd In Now York city to tho nineteenth police precinct. Tho credit of naming It Is nttrlbuted to dipt. Al exander Williams, who was placed In command of tho precinct September 30, 1870. When ho took chargo ho wbb nsked how ho liked tho change. "Great," wns tho response. "I've come from n rump district (an east sldo district) to the tenderloin," and tenderloin It has remained over since, The newspapers of other cities soon followed tho example of tho Now York Journals In so designating slmllnr dis tricts of tholr own cities. The Jazz Spirit. Wnverly Gerty Glddlgad Is prazy over jazz music. Mnrcella Indeed. "Yes, I lenrned thnt when took her on n sight-seeing trip through the biggest boiler shop In town tho other day." "I don't get the connection." "As soon ns we entered tho door nnd Gerty heard tho terrific din she grubbed my arm nnd said, 'Gee, let'B tango.' " Youiigtown Telegram. Forged Will By GEORGE ELMER COBB (Copyrlcbt, 1T1D ty the Western Nwi paper Union.) A young mail refined In nppoaranee and mnnnor came slowly up the hill that brought the distant town of Win ion In view. There was something vud and sombre In his present mood, it seemed, for In n profoundly medita tive and dejected way he kept his eyes fixed steadfastly upon the ground un til he reached the apex of the hill. In the distance was tho town. Coming from Its direction was a horo and rider rapidly nearing the only habitation In near ptWlmlty. "The Half Way house, and that Is Mercy Langdon," uttered the man In grent surprise and he started for ward, reached the old structure In ad vance of the girl on horseback, nodded gravely as she leaned from the sad dle and clasped his hand with mani fest warmth and feeling and he helped her dismount nnd silently helped her to n bench on the dismantled porch. "We had better sit in the shade." be suggested, "She did not come with you?" nnd his eyes scanned the faco of the elder sister of the womnn he loved, full of eager longing. "It Is better so, linger," spoke Mercy Langdon. "It would be cruel to her, It could do you no good. You don't know how sorry I feel for you both." nnd the gentle eyes were filled with tears. "She bus sent the letters and your presents," nisi Mercy extended a niriull package. The young mnn accepted it with quivering frame, drew from his pocket a slmllnr pneket, 'pressed his lips to It In n reverent way, and averted his face to hide his poignant emotion. The womnn regarded him pitifully ns she fifild : , i "Don't tnke It so hard, Roger. I you had only returned six months since, as was arranged, as Gladys counted on. Your absence, your silence complicated a situation already bad nnd sad enough." "It wns no fault of mine," declnred Roger. "I had to stick to my post In that far South American country to protect the Interests of my employers., A lasting wet spell prevented even the transmission of mnll. But oh! Mercy, It breaks my heart to realize that Gladys Is compelled, yes, forced to marry a man whom she despises, ;that I nm doomed to lose the only woman I hnve ever loved." "And she loves you still nnd nlwnys will," snld Mercy. "You know how It nil came about Before our Uncle Robert Ward went to the far North to look after his mining Interests, his secretary, Alvln Glassner, as you know, sought to win Gladys. He re turned half a year ago with the story of the death of Uncle Robert In a snowsllde. It wns n terrible blow to nil of us. The proof of Uncle Itobert's death was very circumstantial and the court accepted It as valid. Then Glass ner revealed the last will of our Uncle. Whnt baleful Influence he exerted over our relative I do not know but the will left his estate Jointly to Gladys nnd Glnssner, provided they mnrrled." "Yes. I have heard nil this," sighed Roger Hreen, "Rut how could Glndys sell herself for money?" You utterly misjudge her I" cried Mercy, with spirit. "You were not here, nnd no word from you. Glnssner worked out his designs Insidiously. He brought to light tho fact thnt fnther, who hnd been previously relieved through the bounty of Uncle Robert, would hnve to become n disgraced bnnkrupt If he did not receive Imme diate financial help, which he could give. -At last fnther's selfish plendlngs Influenced Gladys. The die was cnt. Rroken heartedly she consented to promise to marry Glnssner, who nlmost proved to her thnt you were false or dend. It Is too late to falter, for Glassner has In some way got fnther Into his power nnd under constnnt drend of whnt ho may do, If Gladys retracts her pledge. Oh, Roger I what was that?" It was a groan, elenr and distinct, ami It came from the Interior of the old battered stnicture. "Some wayside tramp, probably," carelessly spoke Roger. "Tho old ruin 1b a favorite camping spot for that Ilk." The sound wns repented. Tho nc- cents expressed not wenrlness or som nolence, but .uppnrent pnln. Uoth nrose to their feet. Tho gentle henrted Mercy clung to Roger's arm as she Implored him to Investigate further. They crossed the threshold of the open doorwny to make out a form stretched ncross a broken down bench. "Come! Help I You know me I Mercy Roger !" To tho nmnzement of the Intruders the tones, though fairly Incoherent, were familiar. They peered closer. "Oh, Hoger!" gasped Gladys. "It Is Uncle Robert I" "Yes, yes," panted the old mnn who wns nrrnyed In rags and too wenk to arise. "I got this for and my strength failed me. I hnve heard nil, Thnt scoundrel, Glnssner 1 Ho pushed me ovor tho mountnln side. Get me to a doctor, then ah, then, thnt miscreant shall suffer." uerore night Ilobert Wnrd wns In tho kindly hands of loving relatives nnd Alvln Glassner unmasked and fngltlvo from Justice. And before night, too, the victim of the forged will wns eltiopcd In the nrms of the tni ver fri'tn whom tl erc was to bp tr irthcr pnitlng.
