The rent of I lie afternoon MUa Ap pleby uioved alowly about the parlor with reliii'tiuit feet, pushing the furni ture Into stiff rows HHIlllInt tlio whIIm, uufoldliiK one Hllpiiery aofu Into a Hprliit,')' oik h. frexb with linen from iHiuie MiMTet eloset where hoineMpuu treasure were bidden In lavender. rerhnpH un one could quite estimate the iiieiitnl it ii 1 1 1m ti that was occasion ed by theae prcpurulWiu. It waa u violation of Auu'a most Hiicred tradi tions that the Appleby uoutte ahould be without a bett room. About this gloomy apartment wero centered roeol-let-llou of joy and Brief. WcddluK and funeral utid the iiilnltcr'a prea euro at a ccrcmouls! tea were tlio only event Hint marked the oik-iiIdk of the parlor. Tbo lHitirdcrs hud the ue of the lurK mI a I ii), ron m acroita tlio hall, and even nx a brief respite from tbo atreaa of ii long duy'a work Ann would not have dreamed of withdrawing Into tho purlor' prim sec IuhIou. And now it must he opened for tho comluK of Surah I'rew! It wua to bo uaed a a sleeping room by au Invalid. Sarair inisllcliie bottle would cumber the iiuiutelplii'e, and Hut from tho bed clothes would Meek the choriidied car pet. Hut Ann found n certain snvaKe pleaaure In leaving untouched ttio ilc turea and oriiuiiieuta about the room. Baruh Drew might occupy this room, but nlie would ahvuya uueomforlably feel that ahe waa violating tho almost sacred precincts of her coUMln'a hoint. It mux! nlwaya be a parlor, and tho occupant would be pnMrtlonately un comfortuble, for Utile Itlvcr folk were Hot given to desecrating family altars. When Hurah Drew bobblod Into tho room tho next day her mild eyes opened wide with amaxeiuent. "You're never going to put me In here. Ann!" she gasped. "Why mil J" queried Ann grimly, twitching ho wiiMlmlond well Into view and rattling tho clilnit bowl and pitcher. "I guess you'll Bud every thing pretty comfortable. Surah. If you don't JiiMt rlug tbla hero bull and Kuiellne will wolt ou you." "Itut I cun't aleep here, Ann," qua vered ber couhIu tremuloualy. "Why, It'a your best room. I never alept lu anybody's best room." "No more did I," returned Ann rather tnrtly. "Itut 'Han't my room. Mr. James atiya It belong to tho Lord, ho you Hee.ifM no credit to mo that you're occupying It." "Oh., did Mr. J nine any that bo fore you would invite mo? I'm dread ful aorry, Ann. 1 wish I didn't have to come; ,nl, you sec, tlio houu burued nil down, and I didn't have a stick left, and no I chiiio to Little IUver to atny with Mr. Hell, and now all the children are down with the inenHlea, and there wiiNii't any place to go but here. I ain't got uothlng till I collect my liiHurniice money, I'll pay you" Ann piiNhed her Into a cliulr and re moved the at might brimmed hat that Heitleil iiubiMoinliigly over Sarab'a tlOHO. 'Tuy nothing!" ahe snorted con temptuoiiHly. "If I aeem ungracloua, Sarah Prow, you can lay It all to the fact that I ucver could And the can eelod niortgiiKe uolo on tho place after I'nclo Abel tllod. Your pluce wua left ftou aud clear, uml I've bud to pay JoNlah Leiils ilollur n year In- tereat. and I'm wore to akin and boue tiiking a puck of city people to board. Now, don't any word. I'll annd ICnirllne will) your aupper, and after ward, when nil thee critter I ted, I'll come and act with yotl." In the parlor, where the Inte after noon auiiahlne poured through the un aliuttered window. Huruh Iirew aul lu v. retched lleuce. while Kmellue pudiliHl heavily to and fro, nrrniiKlng a aitpier on the marble topped table. She moved the glim bell and the ahell bnaket to one end of the table and aprctid a dnmak cloth. On it ahe placed a dlb of crenmed tonat, freah berrle from tho gardeu, ginger cook ie and tea. When Kmrllne had departed ftarah came to the table and trli-d to eat, but the roldne of tho mnrhlo aeemed to atrlke through the ilauiiixk cloth and cKIII her rheumatic llmba to the bone. Aa Rhe alpped Hie ten from one of Ann Appleby' flue clilnit cup ber mild eye evaded the glance of the atom vlanged family Mrtrnltn. To her nervotiNly wrought fancy tbeae an ceator glowereil lu angry dlaapproval of one who wna tliu ahatlerlng all the Appleby tradition at one atroke. "We wouldn't ent In the parlor," they aeemed to mutter at her. "I don't want to eat hero, and I know I can't aleep here!" crh-d Hnrah Iirew deHpenitely, puahlng her tein up violently nwuy from her. And then ahe guKpcd In terror, for the cup atruck forcibly agnlnat the gliiH 1x-ll ami ahoved It over the etlge of the ta ble, where It fell crnahlng to tho floor, bearing the delicate ahell banket to Ut ter ruin. The iioIno brought Ann Appleby to the door. Her face grew while with anger ii a alio tuidertood what hnd happened, nnd the auger wna not an eiied at the auddeti realization that till long clierlntiod parlor hnd reaaod to be. The aofn Ih-I and the wnh aland with It toilet article, the dres er kIiovin! awkwardly lu a crowded corncr-ull of theae thing Intruding on her tine carpet aeemed to degrade the other furulshlnga to a lower level. It wua not a parlor; It vvii not a bed room. To Ann Appleby' orderly mind It waa chuoa. "What la the matter?" aked Ann In a at range voice. Sarah I'rew turned a frightened face toward her counIii and then ahruuk Into a deJiH'ted beop over the dlaor dered table. Homo of the cream from the touxt alopped over nnd drlped to th" curiet. making a little white pool In the heart of a great blue roae. "1 can't eat In a parlor!" walled Sarah mournfully. "I never did auch a thing, and I know I hall never have a mite of aleep here! 1 feel like I wua putting you out, Aim. If I didn't have to oe nil your bet thing and I've brok'-n your ahell banket, Ann!" "I ace It." an Id Ann dully. "When I get my lnNuraiici money I can pay you back again, only 1 don't believe you can get another ahell baa ket llko that. I know you waa choice of It," mourned Snrnh. atubblng her elf with theae pointed facta. "Father brought It from the Went Indie." rejoined Ann. "It had aaao clatloii." Surah Iirew atrugglcd to her feet and went to the aofn tx-d, where ber hat and cne were primly laid. "I gucwa I better not atuy auy longer, Ann." "Where nre you going, Snrnh Drew 7" demanded Ann llercely. "Maybe to the hotel." faltered Sarah. "Have you got nuy mouey?" "It wna nil In the bonne, nnd It went, too. but there ta a hotel where I can atny," retorted Hnrah, with sudden spirit. "The town provide for them thnt"- Llke a whirlwind Ann Appleby swept into tho room uud denuded Sarah'a bead of the unbecoming bat, atrlpad off the caK, threw n blanket over tho slippery aurfuce of tho biggest botno lialr clinlr and backed ber cousin un- ceremouloUMly Into Its depths. I left this room be llko a purlor bo- cnuae I wanted you to reel uncotn- fortuble, Sarah Irew! I'm a mean woman, but the kindness seems to be all worked out of uie I'm that tired. Now, you sleep here tonight, and to morrow we'll clear everything out and turn this Into u bedroom. It'a the sun- litest room lu tho bouse, and you can have a tiro ou tbo hearth when It'a chilly. I guess you'll soon get over your rhcumutlz. I won't bear another word. Saiali L'rew. I guess oue thing's the mutter with me Is I'm lonesome for some real kin to boss and scold at. You'll do Hist rate. You can stay here for good If you want to." Ann leaned over and kissed Sarah Irew on the top of ber tliln brown hulr, and she wus quite as surprised at tho net us Sarah herself. Theu she dashed from the room uud returned with brush ami dustpan. "I'll just sweep up this glass," sue suia apolo getically. "I was getting awfully tired of that shell basket, Huruh. Oh!" "What Is it?" asked Surah eagerly. Anu u rose and cume around the ta ble with a crumpled strip of paper in her bund. Her voice trembled. "See whut you did for mo. siruh Drew, when you broke the basket. It'a the receipt I'nclo Abol got from Leeds when be paid off the note. It was stuck inside the little basket. Now I can get buck tho $2,000 Interest I paid that old skinflint!" Wtiy do you suppose Undo Abol put It there?" quavered Surah Drew excitedly. "It'a like a miracle some how." "It's oue of those tilings that's al ways happening to touch lessons. I've learned mine," smiled Ann. "I'm sorry about tho carpet," Saruh wua beginning when hor cousin hushed her with a gesture. "I'm glud. If I turned this parlor to soino good use before, don't you see. this might have happened. Let'a go out and huve some clam fritters. Are you ublo to conio to the dining room?" "I guess I be!" exclaimed Snrnh Irew almost hilariously. LAND DECISIONS OF IMPORTANCE The following the Monthly Digest of important land decisions; Homeateada Where tha validity of a settlement ciaim i eaiatiiianed within an unsur eyed forest reaervc, netition may ba made to the Agricultural Denartment to exclude the land from the forest under the Act of June 11, 190G, under which act survey can be made and the entry allowed and o a "ed to patent. Section 6 of th enlarged homestead aot excuHe residence under thepe con ditions stated therein, but require cultivation of an additional area during the fourth and fifth years after the date of an entry made thereunder. Kntry of land In the State of Utah, which have been entered under Section 1 and B of the enlarged homentaed act may, UKn application and proper show ing, be changed so aa to stand under the provision 'ot Section 6 of said act, provided the character of the official designation inrludt said Section 6, making it applicable to such designa tion. GAS DISCOVERY NOT PETROLEUM Chewaucan Fresa: While drilling for artesian water on the land of P. F. Ulcbard., near Anna River, about a week ago, 1. N. Hale and his helpers noticed that the water In the casing bubbled at the surface and also a atrong smell of eaa. Placing a can over the top with a few holes in the bottom, they touched the flame of a a match to it and were rewarded with a brilliant blaze. So steady waa the flow that they eooaed their suppers on it and also their breakfast next morn ing. In a verv short space of time the newa of this trike reaobed Paislev and a number of local men went out to investigate. Their reports were so favorable that they and their associa tes proceeeded to stake planer claims all around the spot where the gas was brst discovered. In all about sixteen aectiona have been staked and recorded and the locators will probablv proceed to do some prospecting as soon aa thev can aecure the services of a drill of aufficlent capacity. The presence of srss indicates oil. in fact it has been ! noticed that the water In some of the A settler by honest mistake erects ' springs bs an ollv appearance on the his house outside the boundaries of bis top. It is believed that It ia onlv Re claim is constructively a resident upon cesssry to go deep enough to strike a the land entered, If he in good faith flow of petroleum. But the gas alone maintains residence upon the land upon t will be a moat valuable asset to this which bis house waa constructed nd, ' country. The gaa escaping from the upon hearing of blsmiatske, removes to Richards well ia increasing in volume the land entered. Hut it must be shown and makes a flame large enough to that the mistake was honestly msde serve ss a fire for warminir the men as tbey work. On many of the springs and even on Summer Lake there have often been noticed bubbles arising, and that actual residence has been maintained uon one tractor the other. One having an entry must comply with the law resjiectlng scttement, im provement and cultivation. When his entry Is altscked he cannot wait until the termination of that litigation oe- fore he etsabilshes residence or makes any effort to comply with the law of the entry. Desert Lands Mere defects in proof or insufficient watur rights do not necessarily Imply fraud nor preclude a claimant from supplementing such proof so as to meet rumored for many years, which bave been somctimea mistaken for fish bubbles. This is undoubtedly gas finding its way through the under ground fissures and escaping through the water. What this discovery means to this part of the country is bard to estimate. Mr. Jesse liobson, who visit ed the well states that there is suffi cient gas now to furnish Paisley with lights and cooking fuel, if properly conserved. The presence of gss and oil in Summer Lake valley baa been but no one legal requirements under direction ever tool the trouble or to the expense from the Commissioner. A contest ' finding out for certain. Now that against an entry upon which final proof th ured there is no doubt hsa been submittod doea not interfere that orit will be made to locate the with the administrative power of the petroleum. Already inquiries are be- Coinmmissioner to permit completion ,nK made by outside capitalists who are of proof or the curing of any defect therein where fraud or bad faith is not shown. Where a desert land entryman does not Include in bis entry the full area allowed by law. for the reason that the vacant land adjoining that entry was not susceptible of irrigation at the date of original entry, be may, if such ad joining land by reason of extension of improvements subsequently become ir rigable, enlarge his original entry so ss to include therein the full area al lowed by law. This may be done by amendment of the original entry where it has not yet been carried and no rights have intervened. Mining In determining the reasonable value of the labor or Improvements on a min ing claim, the true test to be applied is the reasonable value of the work performed or Improvements made. The amount actually paid or the number of days actually spent in the prosecution of such labor and Improvements made. The amount actually paid or the num ber of days actually spent in the prosecution of auch labor and improve ments are elements to be considered In the arriving at the reasonable value, but they are not conclusive. anxioua to iuvest in auch an enterprise if there ia reasonable ground for think ing that there will be a suitable return. There is still a large tract of land that could be staked should any othera desire to enter the field. LATER : From Mr. A. L. Emery, of the firm of Smith, Emery & Co., of San Francisco, who it seems has analysed a bottle of the gaa escaping from the Richard well, we learn that it ia aimply marso gaa and could bave no connection witn petroleum. Air. Emery was in town yesterday and left for the north today. This is a bard blow on the prospective Rockefellers i of the vicinity, but they probably en ! joyed themselves while the dream lasted. A alight flow of gaa and a small seep age of oil cannot be regarded as a dis covery of oil as a basis of a placer mining location, under the Act of Feb. 11, 1897. The statutory requirements aa to expenditure in mineral locations are re quired as an earnest of good faith, and to prevent a prolonged ocoupation of mining ground without any develop ment work being done : if the locator in good faitn expends the required amount on prospecting or developing the claim, or extracting the mineral theretrom, neither the court nor the Department will refuse oredit for the court now the Department will refuse credit for the expenditure on theground that some better method for the above purposes could have been pursued.
