Woven in stories and exploited on the
stage. tits most frequently pleasant
one, but in real life the consummation
of romance, Just as often. has its finale
in an embarrassing episode. This is the
| history of a romance which had its in
inception surrounded by poetical cir
cumstanee, romance whose first
chapters were lived in the
glare of electric lights, in
| splred with music to one of whose
principal characters was lent a pict-
uresqueness of costume calling on ma
tivity. The story thus begun has ended
in minor key. The woman lin the
case" has wakened from dream to
find her ideals vanished and the pict-
uresQueneSS of her hero transformed.
During the Minneapolis exposition of
| last year. one of its most attractive
features was the engagement of the
Mexican band. The 1.-THE and swarthy
and uniformed in harmony with
the quaint and pretty music of the
concert programmes. Perhaps it was
| the music, or perhaps it was the per-
7 sonnet of these musicians which won
! for them unusual admiration and APP
| plauSeS, contributed for the most part
| by the women who frequented their
| performances. Joseph Arreola was a
member of the band who divided the
time he gave to his professional duties
with other pleasant, and, to him, fas-
cinating pursuits. He was recognized
by his fellow musicians as the Don
Juan of the organization, an invincible
w0oer of susceptible women, tryst
maker. and the MeXican's ideal of an
American correspondent. Don Juan
found fruitful field in Minneapolis for
the display of his charming qualities.
He dallied. He flew from bud to bud.
buzzing his tales of fervent passion. He
plucked the flowers of his fancy, and
when he had inhaled their odor TO his
fill, rudely thrust them aside, only to
nestle again and again within the con-
fiding fOldsfof some fair lily. or to ex-
press his alteration at the feet of some
blushing rose.
All, Arreola!
On one of his incursions into the gar
dens of Minneapolis feminity, Arreola
met Emma Taggert. Continuous rela-
tons with local bellies had armed Ar
reOla with speciOus argument. polishe ed
compliment and manner of protesting
which made the musician as success
fully winning and as irresistible as
the bewitching music of his own
sOnOrOuS tuba. Arreola could evidently
play as we'll upon the heartstrings of
credulous women as he could twaDg his
guitar. He was pOesy itself, and fol-
lowing the footsteps of that ilustrious
masher, MelnOtte, impressed to de-
gree the mind of Emma with pictures
. of his castle in Spain from which pc
litical and despotlc cruelty had driven
him.
All, Arreola!
When Miss Taggert told Arreola that
his personality did not correspond with
her school girl ideas of a Castilian
grandee, he soothed and disarmed her
questioning by stating that circum-
stances over which he had no control,
and for which, therefore, he was not re-
sponsible, had likened him more than
was agreeable to the counterfeit pre-
sentiment of diminutive "GreaSer."
In truth, ArreaIa is not a handsome man,
he he ever so clever musician and so
fascinating lover. Having laid siege,
the Mexican employed ali the arts at his
command to win the love of this trust
ing love. During the concerts of the
band it was Miss Taggert to whom the
musician played. There were little
tete tetes i'll the retired recesses of the
exposition building, these were visits to
waves of Minnetonka, and tender moth
ings whispered. Cupid reigned SUI
preme.
All, Arreola!
Emma plighted her tToth to the seduc-
tive musician, and each swore by the
Tistan star that after the wedding bells
had jingled nothing save death should
part them. The band of musicians soon
went back to their native; cline and
Arreola with them. He swore that ere
long he would return and make Emma
He lived in Norrella, and every day
Emma received dainty Mexican mis-
sives bearing the pOstmark of that adobe
town. ArreOla was pining and so too was
Emma. 1t was very hard for lovers sue
as they to be parted. He would return,
he wrote, but alas! he was "hrOke."
Emma consulted her fond mother, and
soon check was speeding on its way
to NOrrelia. just as the leaves were
beginning to turn and the chickens
were roosting high to keep out of the
reach of the frost, Arreola arrived in
the city, travel-stained and tired. The
meeting between the lovers was touch
ing, and the VOWS made under the SHIN,
mer of the moon on Minnetonka
were renewed. Arreola admitted to
his sweetheart that his pocketbook
was empty and ne was in sore
need of new linen. The fond mother
was again called into requisition and
Arreola was happy. His trunk was re-
moved to Mrs. Tagger.'s residence, COG
First avenue north, and for six mortal
months Arreola stuffed himself at her
expense. But she counted that for
nothing; her only desire was to see her
daughter happy.
Being an expert on the tuba Arreola
|. managed TO keep himself i'm spending
money by blowing his instrument for
hire, sometimes for Thyle and some
times for Schubert and Caffereli.
He was a well known figure on
the avenues. for he took especial de-
light in parading his person attired in
MeXican.breeches, Mexican short coats
and Mexican cloaks. But the wedding
bells did not jingle. and Emma's face
jured him to marry her daughter at
once, but he put her off with the excuse
that he would soon find steady employ
ment and he able to support wife. He
still dined OH Mrs. Taggert's beans,
however, and occasionally played on his
tuba.
Two weeks ago, while Mrs. Taggert
was away, ArreOla succeeded in spirit
ing his trunk and cloak out of the
house. lie TOOK them TO lis Seventh
street north. where he had engaged
rooms. When Mrs. Taggert returned
and inquired his reasons for leaving her
house he told her in his manly Mexican
way that people were beginning to
talk, and he loved Emma too dearly to
bring any scandal about her.
All. Arreola!
A week ago yesterday he accompa-
MED the Switchmen on their picnic to
Wisconsin and bowed bis tuba for their
editication. The next day he called to
see Emma and requested her to meet
him on the shores of Lake Harriet.
Emma went, but Arreola was not there.
Inquiry at his room lent to the discoy-
cry that he bad gone away-to Mexico,
the lady of the house said. In the
evening letter arrived for him from
his brother in Mexico. 1t contained no
