In a statement made to the board of directors, following the adjournment of the meeting, president Carwile said that a contract had been entered into with Tom Brigance, of Fort Worth, for the grading work, and that his entire outfit would be on the ground by March 1. Because of the comparatively light grading, this outfit will be able to complete five miles of the grade per week. Several cars of ties have already been unloaded here, and eight miles of rails are now en route, and, about three miles of the grading being completed, it is expected that active work of track laying will begin March 1. President Carwile has entered into a contract with tlie trustees acting for the people, guaranteed by a bond for $25,000, to have the railroad completed to Balmorhea, in the Toyah valley, by June 1, 1910, and he stated that he would comply with that condition of his contract without fail.

Thus fhe construction and operation of the Mountain connecting the Pecos and Toyah valleys by rail, and making available, because of easy access, the attractive canyons of the Davis mountains for summer and winter homes, becomes a reality.

APLE GROVE is in Virginia, on the line of the Richmond, Potomac and Fredericksburg railroad, not a hundred miles from Richmond, and should any one be so ill informed as not to know that Maple title to fame lies in the fact that Dan training stable has been established for two years in its vicinity he would be the object of commiseration oo the of the village's 300 inhabitants, and did not that very famous mare Lady Belle, the pride of the stable and of Maple Grove, wiu the Washington cup at Bennings last in a canter? And did not Maple Grove back her to a to a woman? Of course she did, and of course it did. And that is why Maple Grove, flushed witu pride and with its sudden accession of unearned increment, took its place at once and. be it said, with all due dignity as one of the important communities of the United States.

At the station, where the oil lamp blinked feebly in the growing daylight, the rain beat in fierce squalls upon the hood of a buggy and upon a horse which was seeking consolation in his nose bag. In the shelter of the shed, bis hands thrust deeply Into the pockets of his overcoat, leaned Daniel Mallory himself. The first express from stopped at Maple Grove only by request of not due for a quarter of an hour, and the minutes were lagging tiresomely, as they have an exasperating trick of doing when one is waiting for a train. But the thoughts of the man in the shed were soon far away from Maple Grove. The blinking lamp and misty pall of rain were blotted out by a vision of a pair of big blue eyes smiling at him now roguishly, now with tender wistfulness.

from a pretty face. Daniel Mallory was a good looking, strongly built man of thirty. His eyes, like those of the face of his vision, were blue, and usually they gazed upon the world in kindliness, quick to note the good and the humorous In it. Born in Richmond of very poor parents, immigrants from Ireland, who had died when he was young, he had been compelled to shift for himself at an age when most boys are just getting used to school. His very first job was in a livery stable, and there his interest in horses began.

So great did this interest become that he made his way to Kentucky to procure employment at a racing stable. His ambition was to be a race horse owner and trainer himself, and be set about his preparations to become one by saving his money. There came as helper at the stable Patrick with his wife and a ten-year-old daughter. Nora. Another daughter, Patricia, six years older, was in New York, apprenticed to Mine.

Like most trainers, he had been opposed to betting, yet in his misfortune he resorted to it in an effort to retrieve his losses and had ouly sunk the deeper Into the mire of poverty until his wife, a strongminded daughter of the Emerald Isle, little will of his own left, or, at any rate, little disposition to exercise obeyed as meekly as his children did. had called a halt and threatened him with the direst consequences if he ever put another cent on a Partly from fear of his wife, partly because he realized the futilHy of his efforts to win his money back and partly because he did not wish to set a bad example to his daughters, whom he loved devotedly, he had, like Mallory, definitely set his face against betting.

Rose Stahl, Creator of the Title Role of Chorus and Mallory went to lodge with the family. At that time he was twenty- six years old. It was nearly two years after his installation as a member of the for the treated him as a son. and he who never had known the comfort of having some one to look after him returned their interest in him with a regard that was little less than Patricia came into his life. She arrived at the Christmas holiday time.

Her parents had never wearied of extolling their Patsy, as they called her. but she proved to be entirely different from he had pictured her. A pretty, slender girl, piquant, wide awake, full of fun and with an extraordinary vocabulary of New York slang, she transformed the whole household with the joy she diffused from the minute of her arrival. Mallory soon found that back of her liveliness and fun loving disposition she possessed a large capacity for discernment and common sense, which had been quickened by the sophistication furnished by her experience in the metropolis. Patsy made up her mind that Mallory was the one man in the world for her and that she would marry him.

But the meal table conversation had enlightened her as to the views he had entertained, and she sympathized to a large extent with his logic, for she was every bit as ambitious for him as he was for himself. Therefore when at last the telling of the oldest and sweetest story ever uttered by human lips had made her his and the happiest girl in all the world, and lie urged her to name the day and make it soon, finding in his joyful eagerness as many cogent reasons in favor of this course as formerly he had adduced against it. she placed her hand in his and. gazing at him with the glory of her happiness shining in her eyes and with an intonation of love tenderness that would have divested her speech of any incongruity even to an unemotional listener, said: Dan. There no on ray interleck, and I the girl to put kinks in your ambition.

name the day. all right, all right, when you have a stable of your pleaded Mallory ruefully, no prospect of me getting a stable of me own as I can get it one of these days unless sized you up she assured him. A few months after her return to New York the family were startled by a bombshell iu the shape of a letter from Patsy announcing that she had left Mine. owing to a quarrel with the bookkeeper and gone on the stage. To say that her parents were horrified is to put it mildly.

Her parents summoned her home peremptorily, and she came and had it out with them. She explained her departure from the and her entrance into tho theatrical profession in this wise; stand for the bookkeep; but, he was head hand holder for madame.lt made it kinder I took the exit without bluefoots or tremolo music.

Dan, my Dan, a she cried, and as he clasped her to him in a passionate embrace he saw that her eyes were wet. Mallory, spurred by the grit of his sweetheart and the prize held out to inspire him to even greater efforts than he had put forth, procured a lucrative position as manager of a racing stable and in course of time amassed enough to establish a stable of his own.

He selected Maple Grove as the site for it. and of course lie took with him the family, which he long since had come to consider as his own. At first things had gone well, and the day for the wedding at last had been fixed. But it was not yet to be. A series of misfortunes crippled resources so seriously that Patsy insisted on a postponement.

A number of horses fell sick and died, and fire, against which there was no insurance, wiped out most of his buildings. Mallory found himself facing probable ruin, with the foundering of all his hopes, unless help arrived from some quarter. In this extremity one of the patrons of the stable found a likely partner for him iu Richard Crawford, a wealthy young New' Yorker, well known as a clubman and a man about town, who was much interested in horses and horse racing. It had been arranged that Mr. Crawford, whom Mallory had never seen, should run down to look over the quarters and the animals, and he had wired the trainer that he would arrive on the train for which Mallory was waiting.

Dan was roused from his reverie by the distant hoarse whistle of the locomotive, and in another minute the express came thundering and groaning into the station. As it slowed up the only passenger for Maple Grove swung lightly off and found himself face to face with the waiting man. questioned Mallory. Mr. came an answering query.

said the trainer. And as they exchanged a cordial handshake they took stock of each other in a rapid glance. Mallory was very favorably impressed. His prospective partner was a clean cut, well set up man of about his own age and in dress and bearing carried the stamp of good breeding. While he would not have been adjudged handsome by most women, he was certainly not bad looking, especially when he smiled, and there were an ease and a cordiality about him that to Mallory were most attractive.

The visitor made light of the inclement weather, which as they approached the domain showed signs of clearing up, and they were ou the best of terms long before the three mile journey from the station had been covered.

Pecos, Texas, Feb. across the states was the news of the action of the women, the school children, the baseball teams, the lodges, the churches, the entire population of Pecos City, in offering assistance and pledging various sums of money, at the mass meeting, that the bonus required for the Mountain might be raised and the railroad secured.

Surprised at the spirit desplayed, and caught in the whirl of enthusiasm, B. C. Fritz, of Oklahoma City, unable to longer contain his surprise, said: I come from a city known throughout the country as a place where things are done, but as a representative from that city, and speaking for its citizens, permit me to say unwillingly, yet gracefully and obediently, we award to Pecos City the palm.
