The man who had Just entered was a rich
Yankee whose attentions to Miss Arabella
had made some noise in New York, II
was because of him particularly that the
marksman had made his engagement in
Paris and fastened his departure from
America. But this man now had taken a
notion to follow them, for it vas on ac-

Paris. Assoon rs he had ascertained whore

should prohibit him from entering the
ooulissos, But, having made his way into
the managerial office with his hat in his
hand, the American emerged putting his
wallet back into his pocket and there was
no longer question OF his exile.
THAT night, when Arahella WAS pre-
pairing to assume her pages dress for the
performance, Guido Ventura saw n paper
fall from her corsagc. He picked it up,
read it it was a love letter, proposing to
the young girl an elopement and marriage
the next day. When he came down into
the foyer, the marksmau had knitted
brows and a quivering lip. He took n
pistol and aimed ut his own image in u
mirror to try his hand. His hand did not
tremble.
Five minutes afterwards he was on
the stage, commencing his exercises. AS
he turned he saw behind him in the cou-
lisse the American leaning against IA flat.

planted herself in front of him, her arms
folded, her nutshell placed upon hor
head, She smiled. On whom was she

A Bloody Struggle Anticipated.

The contest for possession of mining
ground on Cayote Creek, long in litigation
between Kelly and Ruble, is creating
great trouble. At the last term of the
court the sheriff was ord d.red to put Kelly
in possession, but Ruble, backed by about
twenty armed cut-throats, refused to give
the officer possession. The sheriff tele-
graphed to Jacksonville for men, who were
sent, but were turned back at Grants
P.ss by bogus telegram falsly sent in
Kelly's name. To-day the sheriff summon
ed a p'sse of about fifty men, who have
already left here. They were well armed,
and if possession is refused there will be
bloodshed. On the first visit of the Sheriff,
several shots were fired at Kelly by Rub
les party, without effect. The party in
possession are strongly fortified, but the
determination is to enforce the decree of
the court at any cost. A heavy rain
storm has been prevailing for the last twen-
ty-four hours, and a fresheS is anticipated.

prints the statement, on the al5h'rity of

scheme is on fo)t to po,l the entire pig iron

vide the country into six districts, each to
be represented in the pool on basis made
up from the tonnage producing capacity of
the district and the protit-elrning capacity
per ton, as sh IVA by the works in past
years. Each furnace in district is to share
in the districts share of the general pool,
on basis determined in the same way.
ascertain the exact product of pig iron in
the country, aul this inform ltion in the
hands OF the executive committee, having
authority to shut down, such a step can be
ordered at any time, to let the dernanl |
catch up with the supply, AMI the profit
thus be made regular. 1t is also proposed
that any district ordered to stop for any
re 1son will draw It's profits from the pool
as though it were i'll full blast. The Age
Of .S:eel says the scheme originstei among
furnace men in the Lehish valley, that
strong efforts will be male to carry it out
among furnace men i'll other parts of the
country, and th.t this is the first public
