    THE CITIZEN, FMnAV, JANUAhV 20, 1011.
ASK Oil Id HEL
Tammany Wants Him to
Break Deadlock.
SHEEHAN MAY POLL 95 VOTES
But Ho Needs 101, and the Shepnrd
Democrats at Albany Say They Will
Not Give In Parker May
Be a Compromise.
Albany, N. Y Jnn. 18. Having fail
ed to secure his election as United
States senator in the balloting in llu
two houses of the legislature, the ful
lowers of William F. Surehan turned
to Governor Dlx and demanded his
aid In securing the votes necessary to
make the caucus nominee the cholco
of the legislature. They assert tliar
on the Joint ballot this afternoon four
legislators who held out will come In
and vole for Sheehan. This would
leave the Tammany forces sis vote.)
short.
Murphy himself asked Governor Dlx
to use ills lnlluencu to break the dead
lock and to throw that inlluence In
favor of Slieehan. Whether the gov
ernor will yield no one can tell, but
upon him rests the fate of Sheehan.
Twenty legislators are sworn to stand
out against Sheehan, but they havu
used the statement Issued by Governor
Dlx as the basis for their bolt.
The Sheehan men arc now putting it
up to the governor that n big ma
jority of his party In caucus has pick
ed Sheehan as the party choice and
that the governor should stand by thu
wishes of a majority of his party.
An effort was made to induce Shee
han to withdraw In favor of Alton 15.
Tarker, who received six votes In the
legislature. This Sheehan absolutely
declined to do.
It Is believed that Sheehan will win
today if he wins at all and lib
friends are declaring that ho will win,
though they do not explain how It will
be done.
The twenty Insurgents under the
leadership of Senator Roosevelt hold
the situation within their grasp. If
they stick to their agreement nnd
stand firmly against Sheehan ho will
be forced to retire In favor of some
other candidate.
When the two houses meet In Joint
session today tho Journals will be
compnred. These will show that no
candidate has received 101 votes, a
majority of the 201 members of the
legislature. Balloting must coutinui'
in Joint session dally thereafter until
a cholco is made.
After today any candidate who re
ceives a majority of the votes of tluv
present, providing a majority of th
legislators are present, will be dec-hti
ed elected. It would thus be possllih
for tho Republicans, by remalnlim
away In sufficient numbers, to brlir;
about the election of Sheehan, bir
nothing of the kind is looked for.

Spltzburgcr was a great traveler.
He had visited every country on the
globe, and I verily believe that If
uvlallou had come up In his day lie
would have sailed up beyond t lir
clouds to find others. When 1 mad
his acquaintance he had settled down
In a place ho called by n jawbre-i 1:1ms
name signifying "dwelling" that !
had picked up among the Eskimos
or some other benighted people Tr
wns In tho country situated on the lop
of a hill and looked more like n Chi
nese pagoda than any other structure.
Spltzburgcr wan a widower, wlt'i
one child, a daughter. SIio wan twen
ty years old and for half her life had
traveled during half of eacli year th.
summer season with her father. He
redity and travel had made her as
odd as he. Rather she was unique
Sho'wns of medium height, lithe, wiry
indeed, a feminine athlete of the
featherweight typo. Her hair wai hint
and straight as an Indian's; her eyes
large black ones, witli lashes of the
Spanish typo. I wondered If her moth
er had not been some dusky semir-ivi-lized
creature her father had picked up
on the underside of tho world. But
he told me his wife had been an Amer
ican Creole.
Tho inside of the house In wltWi
these two lived wns as curious as tho
outside. The furniture and ornamen
tal articles had apparently been gntii
ered from all points of the globe, rang
ing from the south sea islands to
Greenland. There wis a mill fn
grinding from the Holy Land slmi.r
to those used in Bible times, n wheel
from India to spin llax on, nnd th.
bathtub had been the sarcophagus of
an Egyptian mummy.
Tlie reason for my making the Spit
burgers' acquaintance was this: I was
taking a postgraduate course at the
time, studying tho customs of differ
cnt races of men. tho causes nnd ef
fects which shape them and their re
lntlonship. Desiring some lnforma
tion as to the people of Tibet, a lam'
forbidden to foreigners and therefore
little known. 1 was recommended to
Spltzburgcr as ono who had penetrat
ed to the Interior of that country 1
went to sop him, and my visit led to
my studying with him.
How long I remained there doesn't
matter, but it was sufficient for my
enthrnllment by that "little savage."
as I called his daughter, Irene. Not
that there was any outward intima
tion on my part that I was coming un
der a spell, nnd, as for tho girl. 1 had
no Idea that I was any more to her
than anotl or man. Indeed, I some
times fancied that she might have left
her heart in New Zealand, KamchatK-i
or some other barbarous land. Whet'i
er Spltzburgcr suspected the drift of
my inclinations I don't know, but one
day he took occasion to mention with
approbation the marriage customs in
Lapland, where ono who marries a
girl without her parents' consent is
adjudged guilty of a crime next below
murder nnd is punished accordingly
I thought that he looked at me very
hard, but "a guilty conscience needs
no accuser," and I may have attached
more meaning to his words than they
covered.
The only thing to indicate that Irene
nnd 1 were drifting together as lovers
was that we took long walks together.
I made an excuse for this that in her
company I could both exercise nnd
study. This was true. I could gel
from bur certain information of the
domestic habits of the people she lr'
visited that 1 could not get from h"
father. Ono day while wo were cl
one of theso walks I said to her:
"Your father tells me that in Lap
land to marry a girl without hor pat
ents' copscnt la punished as a crime
Please tell mp how n man In that conn
try does his courting,"
"no doesn't do nuy courting."
"Then how does ho proceed?"
"He goes to her parents and ask
for her. If ho Is refused there Is ni'
hope for him. If they approve of hi '
suit they tell tho girl of It. She ma:
or may not have seen tho lover, but
tho process is the same In cither case
Her parents give a feast nt which
they, the girl, her suitor nnd mulua'
friends nro present. Tho two princi
pals are placed opposite) each other at
table, where they can observe and
talk with each other all they like."
"Well, then what? I suppose the
girl has something to say in the mat
ter, else this looking over her suitor
would bo useless."
"Yes, she has n good deal to say
about it. but she doesn't yet make it
known. She indicates her decision
later. After the feast all go to an open
smace suitable for running a race. A
course la marked off a quarter of a
mile usually and tho girl Is given a
handicap of a third of the distance.
Tho handicap Is Intended to enable her
to win tho .nice easily If she wishes,
and if she wins that Indicates her re-
fusa,ltjoft.the offer. But if,-on .thereon

It was a mdnth after this thai, Ir.r.
Ing got all otit of Spltzliurger In tin
lino of my studios that 1 desind. 1 !
gan to think of leaving. A slnguui
souicthlug there was In Irene had m.i
tinned to grow upon me, and - well
wanted hor. Iloraemborlng what h -r
father had said on the subject, 1 won
to him nnd nsked him for his daught'. .
"I will Inform her of the honor you
do her," he said.
I waited a day for a reply, and as 1
received none the suspense threw n
Into an nwful fret. At tho end of tin
second day, the situation being tli
same, 1 wns almost demented. On the
morning of the third, determined to
have tho matter out with livne. I
nsked her to gqfor n wall; with rn'.
tho Inst wo would take together bofo-
my departure. She assented and weiii
up to" her room for her wraps. Sho
was some tlmo getting them, nnd when
she came down what was my surpris.
to see that she bad put on a skirt
reaching but little below the knees, an 1
Instead of a hat she had wrapped n
veil about her head.
I didn't dream for awhile what thl
meant, but when she led me along :i
path nnd across a stile to a space used
in season for pasture I suspected
once that she proposed to satisfy a
whim by giving me nn answer to my
proposal nfter the Lapland custom. 1
was too huugry for It to object to the
terms and was quite ready to run for
my answer. Indeed, so Impatient was
I that I opened the subject myself.
"A good place for a race," I re
marked.
"Splendid."
"And a fine morning for it too. The
air is crisp and full of ozone."
"I love to snuff it in nnd get the
odor."
"Do you see that tree yonder?"
"The oak split into two trunks near
tho ground?"
"Yes. I have a mind to race you for
it."
"How much advantage will you give
me?"
"AVhat you like."
She pulled off a fur jacket and threw
it on the ground, and I saw at once
that she had divested herself of her
corsets Indeed, there was nothing to
interfere with any movement. Her
short skirt, a tight fitting jersey and
tho veil nbout her head made an ex
cellent racing costume.
But theso preparations appalled me.
What could they mean but that she
desired every advantage that she mif,h
surely bent me in the race?
"1 wish no handicap," she said. "1
think I can beat you on equal terms.
I will go over to that stump, which i
about the same distance from tho tree
as we nro here. One nice would In1
little fun. Let us make It the best tv. i
In three You give the signal."
"Agreed," I said, and she wont off t
the stum)).
"One, two, three go!" I cried.
She ran like a deer; but, spurred b'
love, 1 kept an equal pace with h"
I won that race.
The second race was very differen.
Irene permitted me nt first to gain .
few yards on her, but before we h.
traversed two-thirds of the distau t
she forged ahead' and reached the tr"
full ten feet ahead of me.
I knew now that she could beat nn.
if she wished. Nevertheless I deem -i'
It my proper part to do tho best 1
could In the third nnd deciding race
Burning to know my fate, I wished tt
start at once. But she declined to go
until she got her breath. While wc
waited. I endeavored to see somctlilnp
encouraging in her eyes something t
indicate that theso races were the an
swer I was expecting. But there wa
nothing In her expression to Indicate
that we were running for any purpose
except pastime. She studiously tp
nored every other consideration.
Eiually, when my patience was near
ly exhausted, she signified a willing
ness to start. I gave the sjgnal, and
for the first half the dlstnuce sin
seemed determined to win. Surely slit1
could not J)!vc. pit forth greater ef
fort. I saw her glance aside to se
where I was, and slm dashed on, seen;
ingly bound to reach the goal befort
mo. But when within ten yards of ii
my distance being twenty, she trippts
ami 'fell: I ran on to the tree, touchr '
It nnd then back to her. liaising hi"
I said impatiently:
"1 suppose wo must try this un
over." "No," she said; "I couldn't nn

I ' still belli her in my ,nrms, and

wound them nbout her, covering hei
face with kisses.

"How nbout that tripping?" I asked
She looked nt the ground, but inrd
