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.

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
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 ■). McKinsey
was seized with a hemorrhage on the
street two weeks ago and was taken
to the Marion hospital for treatment.
The detective went to the hospital
ard McKinsey was found. McKinsey
£.« iuowledged that he was the fugitive
and said the jewelry had been sold !.a
