IS. Kiser, in Chicago Recoid-Her ald. By EARL MARBLE (Copyright, 1901, by Pnily Story Tub. Co.) x j HEN Henry Appleby went down Vy into Mexico to superintend the v orking of one of the big mines in which he had itii interest, s;e left behind him a lovely girl, Estelle Marston, between whom and himself a tacit understanding existed of a future engagement, though no formal love-making or positive en gagement had been reached. Appleby had been a college athlete, built almost like a gladiator, and hail dark gray eyes end dark brown hair, a firm, but kindly mouth, a positive chin, and a manner which was usually reserved, but which could be aggressive if occasion author ized or warranted. He was a man among men, but was inclined to weakness when tne wiles of women encompassed him. Estelie Marston was a spiritual dream. B! .e-eyed, light-haired, fair-skinned, jet healthy, volatile, and happy, as hap piness goes, she was the ideal of more than one young man.and many were the smiles of satisfaction when Appleby went away, and, as many of them thought, left a better chance for them to win the fair Estelle. But she was the star of Appleby's thoughts, and her spiritual nature ap pealed to him constantly, acting as a lode-tone to keep his heart true to the magnet. She appealed to his better na ture. as a pure woman of that type in variably does when a man becomes in terested In her. So matters rested between them. Though no engagement existed, each ex pected theother tobeastrueand faithful till ihey should meet again. Appleby attended strictly to his work In and l'or the mine, and by his manage ment the output was large and profita ble. He saw and heard but little of what was going on in a social way, except among the half a dozen American and English families who lived in the vi cinity, all of them interested with him In the mine. There were few young people among them, and these not at all to his liking. Somehow be had got the habit, whenever he met a lady, of comparing her with the fair Estelle, of course invariably to the detriment of any Of those thus compared with her. He was agreeable, and that was all. He made polite calls, played out-door pames when asked, and was looked upon as a desirable but impossible young man There came a chanee. at which his im mediate circle was dumbfounded, and the rest of the population shrugged its shoulders and awaited developments. lie had attended a native ball one evening, anil noticed a figure rathc-r tall er than the usual squat and dumpy ones surrounding her, and had inquired about, her. "Hispano senorita," he was told. His informant took it for granted that an introduction was desired, where one took (he trouble to inquire, and, seizing him by the arm. look him almost by force to a group of which the girl was the center, and introduced him. What followed, Appleby himself scarcely remembered afterward. He danced with her, he walked through the courtyard conservatory with her, he talked with her, he applauded her and his heart leaped with delight as she danced a fancy castanet Spanish dance, and he had e*yes, ears and tongue for no one else during the evening. That some of the young natives mus tered imprecations on him for his mo uopoly of her did not concern him. "I do not care," he said, recklessly. •'She is worth taking desperate chances for." He asked pei mission to cail and see her, which was granted, rather more than willingly, he remembered after ward. "1 am live with distant relatives," she told him when he called. "Do not mind them—they are nobody—l not introduce you. My father one fine grandee; my mother, Hispano aenora—Santa Maria! both dead,-poor souls! He was so tall and stately, like you. seuor, only more slender; she was graceful, like what you csill it—a willow—and I with such a canaille!" Nothing could have been more certain to win Appleby's attention, if not indeed h's love, than this sort of talk. He ha a theory, that, like parent like child. The law of heredity, in his eyes, was one in which lie most "devoutly believed. While he could amuse himself at a ball, cr;i;i a flirtation, either irnoeenl < r ofl.- «r\vise, wJ'h Mich a perso' as I hi-Sen orita Mercedes, he could not think of going any further with one of the r?O3 if her father was squat, and her mother fat and dumpy. The senorita had fath omed him whether unconsciously or otherwise, may not be known. Hut prob ably this was not her first love affair, and possibly the opinions and acts of some other Americano had opened litr seemingly innocent eyes very wide. And those eyes! "How glorious-" exclaimed Appleby often to himself, as he contemplated their Ulster and their tenderness, when spending the evening and not a small portion of tlie nipht in the parlor of her relatives, or with her at some of the na tive balls. "Her eyes would woo one down to hades!" was his rather pro fane expression: and later in the night, away from their seductive wiles, his mind would revert to other eyes, and he would say: "Nothing can save me from their witchery, but those other eyes away back in New England, so full of Heaven that they could woo me back again." Did he wish to have them woo him back? In the mines, and in the quiet of hi:; own apartments, yes: when in the presence of the Lady Mercedes, as he had beguntocall her, in which hewas en couraged to do so by the girl herself, no. His love-making had grown to dimen sions far beyond the casting of glances and the pressure of hands. He had been picking up considerable Spanish, and she was teaching him more, in addition to teaching him to make love to her. "Poco amado," he said to her one even ing as they sat in the little Mexican par lor. "No.no—nopoeo.nolittle," she replied. "I tall, stately, fit for iilustre amanto such as you," rising to her feet, and dis playing her really fine proportions to their best effect. "Yes, I little by the side of grand senor like you," as he seized her in his arms, and she threw back her head and cast at him one of those looks which it would be difficult for any man to resist when his blood was inliamed with passion. "I look up to you; look up to no one else in all the world. You look down on poco amado; no one but you do so." As she threw her arms about him, while he clasped her still more closely, she buried her face in his neck, and began to cry hysterically. The rest was easy, even to the forget ting of Appleby's lode-star to the far north for the time being. "Yo carino vosotros," he said, as he took his departure that evening. "Adios." As he turned from the door he noticed that the squat Mexican and his fat, dumpy wife, to whom she had referred as her distant relatives, stood just out side, where they had seen the leave-tak ing. and heard his endearment spoken in Spanish. They turned away, seemingly having taken no notice. "I say, Appleby," said the only one of his associates at the mine, who pre sumed on speaking of such matters to him, "you will pardon mo. old man, but I have strong reasons for asking. How much are you committed tothat Mexican giri with whom you are llirting so des perately. and about whom the entire town is talking?" Appleby flushed, and at first was dis posed to resent the remark. "I am afraid it has gone beyond a mere flirtation. I', sides, she is a Spanish girl, not Mexican." "Span ish grandmol her! Do her fat her and mother look like Spaniards?" "I have never seen them. She told me they were dead." "Why, they are not dead, and you see them every time they watch you come and go from the house." "Those old people; she told me, were distant relatives." "They are her father and mother. Do you want such a looking old crone as that woman around your house, to do the honors, a dozen years from now, if you are foolish enough to marry this ad venturess?" "Are you telling me the truth?" "I am. Everybody knows it but you." "What shall I do. The old man would probably kill mo ii" t should attempt to break with the girl." "There is but one thing to do. Re sign your position here quietly, and take the stage to-morrow night for the north. You can catch the train at some station 2r> or 30 miles away. They will watch the trains, but will not think of the stage." "All right. Thank you. I shall be glad to get away from her wiles. The sweetness was beg-inning to cloy, ex cepting when I was tasting it." "Take r.o baggage. We will send that on afterward." The next night, instead of making his usual ea'l at the home of Mercedes, Ap pleby, disguised as a rough miner, bnardc-d the stage, and the driver cracked his whip and started northward. Half a mile on the way, ju3tin the edge of the town, stood the home of Mercedes, where he had passed so many happy hours in the company of his enchantress. He sat well back in the stage, with his hat pulled down over his eyes, to avoid recognition. Directly opposite the house, the stage was halted by a musical feminine voice, the owner of which opened the door of the vehicle, and gave a glance inside. Then she got in, and gave the order f o the driver togo ahead. "Perfidonovio!" she exclaimed. "You go without Hispano senorita? No! Poco amada go too. Yes. Yo carino vosotros. iliustr© amante! You would not break my heart? No!" And she threw her arms about his neck passionately as the stage rolled away into the darkness. Until a few years ago little attention was paiil in Germany to athletic sports. To-day tennis and football are said to be more popular than in the United Slates. Sir Thomas is apt to find that the cup is still junt as heavy as it waa when he last hefted it. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1904. Who is I Your Clothier? j If it's l{.

Hlggins Is Nominated for Governor ol the Empire State. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 16.—The re publican state convention adjourned at 2:30 p. in. Thursday after nominat ing unanimously the following ticket for state officers: For Governor —Frtink W. Higgins, ofCattaraugus. Lieutenant Governor —M. Linn Bruce, of New York. Secretary of State —John F. O'Brien, of Clinton. Attorney General—Julius M. Ma>er, of Now York. Comptroller—Otto Kelscy, of Liv ingston. State Treasurer —John G. Wallen maier, of Erie. State Engineer and Surveyor— Henry A. Van Alstyne, of Columbia. Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals —Edgar M. Cullen, (democrat), of Kings. Associate Judge of the Court of Ap peals—William E. Teirner, (republic an), of Monroe. The unanimous action of the con vention in the nomination of Lieut. Gov. Frank W. Higgins for the gov ernorship was made possible by the withdrawal of ex-Lieut. Gov. Timothy L. Woodruff at the very last moment, as the convention was preparing for the roll call called for by the resolu tion of the Kings county delegation. It was only when as he said it became "obvious to his practiced ear" that the convention was almost solidly against him: after his name had been placed in nomination in a speech by William A. Prendergast, of Brooklyn, in which the management of the Hig gins campaign was bitterly attacked, that Air. Woodruff took the platform, withdrew his name from further con sideration, moved that the nomination of Higgins be made unanimous and pledged the fullest effort of himself and his Kings county forces in aid of the ticket about to be nominated. There was no contest whatever over any other place upon the ticket. There was no slight anywhere in the proceedings to Senator Plait save in the refusal of the convention to ac cede to his declared wish for the nomination of Woodruff. Every mention of his name was en thusiastically cheered and again and again the whole convention arose with deafening shouts to do him honor. Gov. Odell, too, as governor and chairman of the state committee was cheered at every turn. Senator Depew, in presenting for re nomination tlie name of Secretary of State John F. O'Brien, took occasion to answer some of the democratic arguments in the speech of Congress man Bourke Cockran Wednesday night at Tammany Hall. LOSS ABOUT $500,000. The Wind Shifted and Halifax Es caped Destruction by Fire. Halifax, N. S., Sept. I(i.—A fortu nate shift of wind saved Halifax from destruction by fire yesterday. Never theless the city suffered a loss of half a million dollars in the business part of the water front, and the progress of the flames was only stayed by the dynamiting of a dozen buildings by the sailors from the fleet and soldiers from the garrison. Between 3 and 4 o'clock in the af ternoon when the fire was at its height and a fearful southerly gale was pushing it straight toward the heart of the business center, conster nation reigned throughout the entire city. Shortly after 4 o'clock, however, the wind suddenly shifted to the west and turned the flames along the wharves and warehouses. There the fire raged on lower Water street, practically beyond control, un til 7 o'elock last night, when 200 sail ors with torpedo apparatus landed from 11. M. S, Ariadne and indefatig able and with the assistance of 200 troops from the garrison checked the further progress of the flames by re moving, with the aid of dynamite, a dozen small buildings. The fire consumed six wharves, two coal piers, two hotels, a dozen ware houses and a number of retail shops. During the fire a large tree fell, kill ing Flora Ring, aged 28 years, and wounding two others. One fireman was fatally injured by a live wire, while another was badly hurt by falling slate. The burned district, which covered about two acres, was one of wooden buildings three and four stories high, many of them built years ago whep Halifiax merchants dealt heavily in fish. The buildings were saturated with fish oil and burned fiercely. A Big Day at the World's Pair. St. Louis, Sept. 10.—"St. Louis day," the most imposing of all the special days in tho history of the Louisiana Purchase exposition, was celebrated yesterday. Business was suspended ! in St. Louis. The streets were desert ed. St. Louis, practically en masse, attended the exposition and and ex cursion trains augmented the attend ance. Mississippi day, farmers' day and Texas day also were incorporated in tho general celebration. Trial Poatjboned Until December. Rising Sun, Ind., Sept. JG.—After hearing arguments on the motion for a continuance, Judge Cornell yester day continued the Gillespie murder trial until Decembei 7. The attorneys for the defense claimed it would bo impossible to have all of their wit nesses in court before that time. Thief was Captured in a Hospital. Marion, Ind., Sept. IC—William J. Deevy, a detective of tiie New York police department, came here Thurs day in search of William McKinsey, who is wanted on a charge of having robbed New York people of ?*IO,OOO worth of jewelry on July ■).
