1 ?k Race for a BY- Wife HAWLEY SMART II RACE FOR A WIFE is the story of a charm- JL ingf young girl, who, to please her father and save him from persecution and ruin, consents to marry a man she does not love. Her true lover dis covers a document which places his rival at a decided disadvantage, and there is a real "race for a wife," in which fidelity and genuine affection win the prize. This serial is unique in all of its features of plot and action, with the incidents entertaining to the last degree. The interest is maintained to the very last chapter and the story will charm all lovers of good fiction. CHAPTER I. Xminster Is all nlive, simmering, bub bling uve, with excitement.; the magnates arc adjusting ribbons, fitting wreaths, scenting pocket hnnilkcrdhiefs, stretching gloves, tying white neck cloths, and oth erwise preparing for the momentous even ing. The inferior clay of Xminster hover about the gateway of The George hotel, In all that exhilaration of spirits that gratuitous sightseeing is wont to produce among the multitude. It Is but a momen tary glimpse of some hundred or so of ladies and gentlemen in evening fcttire that is destined to be the reward of their patience; but then, you see, Xminster is a town in which the stream of life runs bo sluggishly. Circuses, conjurers, lec turers, monologue entertainers, etc., are rather shy of Xminster; the little town Is so thoroughly habituated to retiring to rest at an early hour, that even the visits of some of these talented and adventur ous beings hrve failed to tempt the in habitants to forego their beds or to ex pend their silver. But the dullest village In England rec ognizes some occasions in the year on which dreary mirth takes the place of melancholy stagnation. They were two; the fair and the dispensary ball. It Is the latter carnival which Is at present causing the pulse of Xminster to beat with feverish rapidity, and the popula tion are already waiting to display their critical acumen on the belles of town and country. The dear old country fiddles are playing their somewhat superannuated dance mu sic with all the wonted animation and dis regard of the niceties of tune which is so much the characteristic of provincial bands. There is no lack of pretty girls, tastefully dressed, in valse and quadrille, In the queer old room with its still queer-. r attempts at decoration in those gaudy festoons of artificial flowers. But a state ly young lady, dressed in white, with green-and-gold trimmings, seems to bear away the palm, More than one murmur ed tribute to her beauty escapes the lips tt the Jookers-on as she whirls by. "Who is she? She moves like a queen amongst the rest, and tiioy are good-looking girls, too, some of them." And the speaker, a rather coarse-looking dark man, a little the wrong side of thirty, turned for Information to the knot of men he was lounging with at the door. "Haven't you ever seen her before, Pearman? No, I suppose you hardly ould have done. She goes out but little -that's Maude Denison." "What ! daughter of old Denison of GlinnV "Just so former owner of all those fat acres which have since fallen into your respected progenitor's possession;" and a Blight Inflection of voice just italicized the epithet; for Gub Brisden was of a good old county family, and had little rever ence for the I'earmans of Mannersley. Yes, very handsome was Maude Denl eon. She was a beauty of the regal or der, and her stately carriage alone would have sufficed to make men ask, "Who if Bhe1?" even without the rich brown tresses, proud grey eyes, and regular fea tures. "I must know her!" said Pearman. "Can you Introduce me, Brisden?" "No; 1 barely know her myself," re plied Gus. "I must go and find somebody who can," and Pearman hurried away, Apparently he was successful, for, ' ehortly afterwards he led out JUiss XJenl bon fur a quadrille, during which Mr. Pearman did his uttermost to make him telf agreeable. He was a very earthy piece of clay, but he had enjoyed the advantage of a good educatiou, and was by no means deficient in ability, He had achieved a certain amount of tact while undergoing the friction of such society as be had encountered, and proved himself an apt pupil in worldly knowledge. This otood him in good stead just now. When be led Maude Denison back to her chap- erone she certainly thought ho was by no means the least agreeable partner she bad bad that evening. She had but just resumed her seat when a tall, fair man was by her side. His brow was slightly knit, and his eyes sparkled angrily as he exclaimed, "My dear Maude, how could you dance with that man?" "Which, Greuville?" inquired Miss Denison, pmiling. "I have danced with a good many to-night, Including your eweet telf, cousin mine." "Don't he absurd, Mnudo; you know very well whom I mean that dark man . your last partner." "And wherefore should I not dance with him?" inquired Miss Denison, "For a hundred reasons. His name alone should have sufficed to prevent It." "Dear me," laughed the young lady, merrily. "I'ou have piqued my woman's curiosity. Do toll ne who this jnouster , of iniquity Is, for, truth to say, I did hot catch bin name when he was Intro duced to tne.". "You didn't know who bo was? I i thought not. That's young Pearman the unmitigated cad." "So that was Mr, rearman, was it?" remarked Maude, musingly. "Well, Gren ville, I don't think I should have danced with him had I known who he was: but, you sec, I didn't, and I cannot sec that it Is of much consequence now. One is not obliged to recoguize the partner of n quadrille again unless one likes, you ,know; and though I'll plead guilty to finding hitn amusing, I don t think I wish to prosecuto the acquaintance. But don't you think it is getting time to leave? Mrs. Leannont, you nre as good as gold," said Maude, turning to her chapcroue, "waiting In this resigned manner for me. However, I am quite at your disposal now. "Pray don't think of me; I want you to thoroughly enjoy your ball, and I am quite willing to look on at your valsing for another hour. I have lots of people to come and tnlk Co me, rou know." "Yes!" laughed Maude; "I am quite aware that you have, lots of old friends, only too glad to have the chance of a quiet chat with you, and know also that you would sit here and pinch yourself to keep awake sooner than debar your god daughter of five minutes' gratification; but I also have a conscience. Go and see about the carriage, Grcnville." It is very curious to watch what trifling affairs influence the tenor of our lives. Maude Denison has deemed it of little consequence that she has danced a quad rille with Samuel Pearman; and yet that dance is fated to draw many a tear from the proud grey eyes. GrenvIIle Rose, ere thirty minutes are over, will be tortured in a way which he is powerless Tto resist. The sire of the dark-featured young man who had expressed such admiration for Maude Denison had begun life as n solicitor's clerk, from which in due course of time he blossomed forth into an attor ney, and sat himself down in the little town of Bury bt. Edmunds, with a view to the persecution of mankind or the re dressing of his fellow men's grievances, as circumstances and the presentation of six and eightpence might direct. Bury St Edmunds lies no great distance from the famous Heath of Newmarket. In de fault of other business, Mr. Pearman took to attending the race meetings there at; gradually he became acquainted with many of thoso multifarious hangers-on that exist so mystically by racing, ne, had naturally an acute understanding; and he now got many a hint as to where to lay out a little money profitably. The traffickers in horseflesh and followers of the turf have their subjects of litigation as well as those who pursue other avoca tions. Who was so handy to employ as Pearman? nnd, by degrees, he began to make a name as a solicitor In horse cases at the racing metropolis and became rich. In due course Harold Denison, Maude's father, had passed through his hands. Doni.son had started In life with a fine property ; but burning the candle, not only at both ends, but a little in the middle besides, he had soon done away with that. Pearman was everything he should be on the occasion ; but when his client emerged from his sea of troubles, two-thirds of the Gllnn estate were in the hands of the solicitor. Still, everyone said Denlson's had been a .very bad break-up; that the property, had been sold at a fair valua tion; and that, but for Pearjnan, Harold Denison would not have been able to keep Glinu and such acres as were still left to him. By this time Pearman was an owner of race horses, and kept a stud of his own. He had married a lady in some way connected with usury, and, hav ing altogether acquired a considerable fortune, made the first mistake in his career, and set up for a country gentle man. He built a big house on the estate so recently lopped off the Gllnn property ; he built large stubles. He named bis bouse Mannersley, after the manor it stood up on. He established a crest and coat-of-arms; ho had his cards engraced, "Mr. nnd Mrs. Pearman, Mannersley;" ho sat himself down to wait but nobody called. Money will do and dot do a good deal, hut here and thero blood respects its rights. The county were not going to welcome what they designated as "a moriey-grnbbing attorney who was fatten ing on the necessities of Harold Deni son of Gllnn." The Master of the Hounds, it was true, called upon him; but even Pearman could regard that In no other light but that of a business transaction. He asked and obtained leave to draw the covers, gave tho solicitor a capital luncheon on his return visit, but had steadily refused all invitations to dinner. In due course of time Mrs. Pearman died. She left but one son, who at the period of her death was an undergradu ate at Cambridge, but who, now many years older, Js tho gentleman who danced that quadrille. with handsomo Maude DenJ. son. Young Pearman has succeeded far hot ter than his progenitor In making LI ' way In the county. Still, although 1 had insinuated himself to a certain ex tent into society, there were many of tho county families who utterly Ignored tho solicitors son. Tho men of the family might know him In tho hunting field; the younger sons might oven go so far ns to drop In at Mannersley for lunch, when the hounds or might else took them tihnt way. But the women tabooed him they would nono of him ; nnd bitterly did Sam Pearman feel that haughty ostracism. All men have their ambitions; Pearman had his father s intensified, to bo ncknowlcdg od as within tho pnlo of "tho upper teu." Ho quite understood that tho recognition of tho race course and hunting field was for from constituting such. CHAPTER II. Harold Denison wns nn embittered, dls appointed man far too clover not to sco how he had thrown tho game of life away by tho turf follies nnd oxtrava gnncos of his early days; far too proud to tako a reduced status in tho county in which ho had been at one tlrao a lend ing magnate; far too selfish to sacrifice an lota of that pride to enhance tho pleas urc of either his wifo or his daughter. He had married, early in life, a lady of good family in his own county. It had seen better for Harold Denison had she been constituted of sterner stuff. She never crossed her husband in word or deed. Mnudo wns tho only child, and this perhaps still moro fostered tho lntcnsa. selfishness of Mr. Denlson's disposition. A girl was, of course, sure to marry. Ho had nono of his stock to come after him ; and though he little relished the Hor of the Denisons of Gllnn being blotted out of the county Red-book, he could not bo expected to feel much interest for a boy ish nephew he had barely scon. On ono point only did poor Mrs. Denison ever venture to contradict her lords wishes that was nbout Maude. The girl was all in all to her mother. Maude's woman's wit had early made her understand that her father dealt hut hard justice in that quarter; nnd she wns ever ready to flash forth as her mother's champion. Other wise she loved her father very dearly, and was quite imbued with the family doctrine of self-sacrifice where he should be concerned. By the light of n .candle, in the soil tude of his chamber, Grenvlllo Rose was tasting all the sweets of dressing to catch an early train on a dark February morn ing. He had been brought up a great deal with his cousin Maude. They had romp ed together as children, and been fast cousinly friends since they had growu bigger. No lovcin&king had ever taken place between . the pair, yet Grcnvilla was conscious of being very fond of that grey-eyed damsel. GrenvIIle enters the old dining room, to gulp his scalding coffee, and recognize the utter futility of attempting to cat at abnormal hours. He is suffering altogeth er from considerable mental depression predominant Idea, perhaps, "What a farce all county balls aro !' Suddenly the door opens, and Maude Denison glides into the room. "Good morning, GrenvIIle. Isn't this good of mo to make such a struggle, and rush down to give you your cofTtfc? Ah, I see you ve got it. Never mind, you must take the will for the deed. At all events, I'm in time to say good by." His face lit up as he shook hands with her. "Very kind Indeed, Mtaide, to come down and give me a last glimpse of you so tired, too, ns you must bo after your triumphs of last night." "Triumphs l What do you mean? re plied Miss Denison, in sweet humility, though a coquettish smile and flash of the deep grey eyes showed that she was perfectly conscious of her ball-room suc cess. "Oh, the hypocrisy of women J" laughed her cousin. "Ah if you did not know perfectly well that all the men were raving with admiration, and that the la dies could find no words to express their opinion of you ! As if you could not im agine that you were pronounced band- some, lovely, graceful stigmatized as over dressed, under dressed, and awkward! While your admirers on one side of the room vowed so .light a foot never glided across the boards at Xminster, your de tractors on the other, were speculating as to how much of your hair and complex ion were really your birthright. As if you did not know you were the belle of the ball, nnd enjoyed all tne rights and privileges of the distinction." "Ah, well 5, she rejoined, with a saucy smile; "I am not going to be a humbug to you, Grcnville. I know some people thought I looked nice, and I know others disliked roe for doing so. Let me pour you out some more coffee." (To bo continued.) ' Unwarned. On entering the stable suddenly tho bend of the bouse found the hostler nnd bis own young son deeply engaged witli the broken tail of a kite.

Rovibw of Provisions of Codo Passed by tho Legislature. By John 11. Lcwl, Stnto Enulnwr. A water law for Oregon, which 1b bollovcd to bo tho beat among nil ino Btntog of tho Union, bocamo cffectlvo nn tfnlirnnrv 24. 1009. ComPloto BttttO control Ib provided. No wntor right can hereafter bo acquired without com nllnnoA with this lnw. It abolishes tho old requirement of posting a notico on tho bnnk of tho stream, iicrenitor, tho priority of all rights will bo deter mined by tho dnto of receipt of nn ap plication in tho olllco of tho Btato engi neer. If tho application Ib dofcctlvo, it will bo returned for correction with out losing its priority. Tho leading featuro of this bill la tlio limitation of franchises to tno uso of water for powor development to a period of 40 years from tho dato of ap plication, nnd tho requirement that rensonnblo fceB bo paid to tho Btato In all cases by thoBO benefitted. Tho schedulo of fees has been designed to ultimately pay tho entire cost of acl ministration, .thus rcllovlng tho gon' eral tax payer, who dorivoa only an indirect benefit through tho added pros perity resulting from increased devel opment. Tho navment to tho stato of an an nual license feo of 25 centB to $2 per horao nower hereafter appropriated was provided by tho Eaton bill, which takes effect on May 2Z. this leo ib to bo collected bv the board of control and adjusted from time to time, based upon the percentage of power appro- printed which is put to Ucneliciai use. In brief, tho now water codo creates a board of control, composed of tho state engineer and tho division Buper intendent of each of tho two water dl' visions into which tho state has been divided, and upon this board reBts tho responsibility of determining and re cording all water rights heretofore ini tiated, tho crantlng of new rights In accordance with law, and tho protec tion of all water rights through a com prehensive administrative system. Before any protection can bo granted to vested rights under tho new law, such rights must first bo determined and recorded. Whcro numerous ditches tap a Btream, and especially if tho Btream is long and the summer flow limited, stato protection is necessary. The cost and time consumed in de termining rights under tho old law was very great Tho water users along Silver creek, in Lake county, joined in friendly suit to determino thoir rights, bo that a water master could be employed to distributo the meager supply, thus preventing annually ro curring disputes. Fourteen lawyers were employed on only one sido of this case. Recently, the case was decided by tho Supremo court, nfior nino years in courts. During this time, one of tho contestants died, ono becamo in sane, and a number, tiring of tho con flict, sold to others. If the experience of Wyoming is any guide, the most complicated caso can probably be decided, under tho new law, within a year. The cost is set out in tho law and Is designed to bo less than tho cost of an abstract to the land. For irrigation rights, the cost will bo fifteen cents per acre for each acre for which a water right is claimed up to ono hun dred acres, fivo cents from ono hun dred to ono thousand Inclusive, and one cent for each acre in excess of ono thousand acres. For power, the cost will bo twenty-fivo cents for each theoretical horse power claimed, up to and including one hundred, fifteen cents from ono hundred to ono thou sand, inclusive, fivo centa from ono thousand to two thousand, inclusive, and two cents per horse power above two thousand, the minimum feo in cither case to be two dollars and fifty cents. For any other claim to water the feo is fivo dollars. The procedure is simple. A list of questions is sent to each claimant or owner on the stream. He is required. under forfeiture of his rfght, to answer tho questions which, togother with a survey of streams nnd land areas and measurements of tho water sunnlv bv the stato engineer, furnish a!I neces sary information for an ndjucation of rights. Tho maps and all statements, signed under oath beforo tho superin tendent, aro submitted upon a (riven day for examination by nil interested parties. If anyone thinks his neighbor a making nn eroncous or cxtravacrcnt claim, his temtimony can bo contested. By this procedure, ail errors can bo corrected and, if necessary, further tes timony taken. As soon as possible, nn order is entered by the board, determ ining tno rights. This ordor Is put In to execution nt once and later filed with the Circuit court for confirmation. If no appeals aro taken, the order Is con-1 tirmeu. if tho case is not reopened within six months, tho decreo become final. Upon such final determination, wntnr right certificates aro issued In nccord. anco with tho decree. Theso certifi. cates are then recorded in the county records nnd bear tho samo relation to tho wator title as the patent from tho United States doeB to tho land titln. Tbo right of each user from tho strnnm or from a largo ditch, will tliUB bo do- tjrminea.

Three different forma are provided for tho appropriation of wntor; ono to bo used in caso of new appropriations, another to bo used whoro tho appropri ation is to bo mado by tho enlargement or extension of existing works and a third form whoro tho application Is for a pormlt to construct a rceorvolr and imnound surplus waters. A separata application must bo mado for permit to appropriate stored wntora prior to its application to bcnoflcinl use, This application is mado on tho first form mentioned abovo, and is then known on n secondary permit, nnd must refer to tho nrlmnry permit, and to tho reset voir from which tho wator supply la to bo dorived. Theso forma, togothor with instructions, can bo secured by addressing tho state eugincor, Snlom. Work must commenco within ono year from tho dato of application nnd bo completed within n roasonablo tlmo, aa fixed In tho pormlt, not to exceed fivo years. If tho water is applied to tho bone- ficial uso within tho time allowed, proof is taken of such fact by tho di vision superintendent and a certificate issued the applicant by tho board or control. This certificate la of tho samo form aa issued to early appropriate! upon determination of thoir rightfl, as described abovo. Tho now method of Initiating water rights may seem curnbersomo oa com pared with tho old method, but it la worth all It costs. Tho right, whon finally granted, la absolutely deter mined as to all rights hereafter initi ated. It will be determined as to all the world, aftor a determination na above outlined. This determination Is mado without cost to tho now appropriate. No large canal can bo operated with out one or mora water masters to di vide the water in accordance with tho rights and needs of tho different later als. Likewise, irrigation from public streams cannot bo a success without water masters to regulate diversions. Tho use of stroams to convey ntorcd water to its place of uso was impossi ble under tho old law? and tho con struction of many reservoirs was thus prevented. As rights -aro determined under tho new law, districts aro created and water masters appointed, whoro de manded by tho water users, to enforo tho decrees of tho board or of tho courts. This officer is accountable to the division superintendent and pro tects, not only tho enrly rights, but al so all new rights and tho rights of res ervoir owners. When a hcodgato has bocn lawfully closed to admit tho proper quantity of water, or shut entlroly, it la a misde meanor for the owner to diflturb It. If tho goto has boon wrongfully opened during tho night, tho prosenco of molst- uro in the ditch in tho morning Is de clared to bo sufficient evidenco to con vict tho owner of unlawful uso. With such an officer available, cnnl- tal will not hesitate to invest in stor age works. Tho water, when released, cun and will bo protected by tho water master, no matter how many ditches intervene, and tho owner permitted to divort nn equal amount, less that lost by Bcepago and evaporation. Tho final object of tho new wator law is tho protection of vested rights, when determined, and to encourago the development and uso of our un appropriated waters. This encourage- ment is provided In tho doflnlto nro- ceduro for acquirement of now rights, Tho fees aro of no consequonco to tho ono who contemplates putting tho water to beneficial use. In fact, tho certainty of right, which is essential as a basis for intelligent Investment on a larco ecalo. is worth far moro than It costs. Tho old-tlmo notlco- man, whoso chief business under tho old law wns to hold up tho public, la effectively discournged by theso fees. Tho ofllco of tho board of control la located at Salom.
