CRUGER In MEXICO.
THE MAN MILLINRR SAILING
UNDER FALSE COLORS.
The Experience a Drummer Had
With Him-His Romantic Story
OF Wealth and Marriage.

The male and female admirers nj
the dashing man milliner, M. X
Cruger, whose sudden departure from
Memphis some weeks sgo created
quite flutter, will doubtless be de.
lighted TO learn that he is no y luxu-
rating in the City OF Mexico. The
pleasing intelligence in the metropolis
Of the AEtecs is impaired by Mr..
Mitch Bennett, a commercial traveller
for the Winchester Rife Company,
aud who Is well known in this city.
A short time since Mr.. Bennett,
equipped in all the tavage parapher-

gings, brace OF navy sizes, a bowie
knife aud belt, and accompanied by a
guard with whom he had ust made a
trip across the wild country, was walk.
ing along one of the principal streets
on the way to his hotel. He saw Mr..
Oruger walking leisurely along in
front Of him, and having heard moth
ing Of the shadow which enveloped
that individual in Memphis, caught
up With him and slapped him in true
drummer styls upon the shoulder.
Cruger sprang aside, and turned with
a look upon his face which could
not have expressed more OF
terror and anguish II he had
been MORALLY wounded. He was ut
terlo speechless, and for some minutes
had not the power TO make any reply
whatever to the simplest questions OF
Mr.. Bennett. Reassured at last by
that gentleman's manner, he managed
TO stammer forth an uuconnected
story about travelling for his broken
health. As Mr. Bennett and the
guard walked of, the latter, whose
suspicious had been aroused by
Cruger's manner, inquired what that
man had stolen. By this time Mr..
Benefits suspicious had been excited,
and the more he thought over the
peculiar behavior OF the man milliner
the more convinced he became that he
had been guilty OF something in Mem
phis or elsewhere and that he was in
the state OF mind (which sees in
every bush an officer" He resolved
to make some inquiries about Oruger,
anu CuduCo tHEcW I'll opportunity lhtO
his way the next night. Strolling in
to a billiard hal he saw Cruger
at play; of q bystander he in
quired his name. "His name is
Howart," was the reply. "Ah! and
where is he FROM" "He says
he is the son OF wealthy
Cuban planter. He has been making
a tour OF the world. He stayed some
time in Memphis, where he made the
acquaintance OF beautiful heiress, 10
whom he is engaged to be married. He
is now on his way to Cuba to make
arrangements for his bride" Mr..
Bennett gave long whistle and came
back to civilization to learn that the
dashing Oruger in his heart had run
through with a fine business ltfs him
by his wife; that he had been attached
and closed up by his creditors and
that he left the city silently and at
dead OF night 10 avoid arrest for forg-
ing The names OF some of those who
had been his warmest friends.
