Bring out the grip he shouted, "or
III kill you all and burn the house"
Then one Of the stoutly barricaded
windows of the Dow mansion spoke in
a flash Of fire and mustang rolled over
In the dust with the Brazilian tangled
In the wreck Of hoofs and trappings.
When Miss Sallle saw her suitor's down
fall she quickly grasped the revolver
marked with his name and tried a shot
at him. Don Juan still lives, but the
mustang will never limp again. Mat
tiers now began to take on serious
look. Irrltated at the shot which had
momentarily disabled De la Corda, the
sheep herders began a rapid fire on the
house. One of the Dow servants fell,
MORALLY wounded, behind the window
he was guarding. Several Of the
neighbors lost their heads and forgot
to return the fire of the enemy But
Mr.. Dow forgot nothing, His gun spoke
rapidly and with terrible effect. One
man on the Don's side was killed out
right from bullet from the enraged
fathers rife, and several others fell in
the field badly hurt.
The Brazilian, aided by dozen OF
the more desperate spirits OF his COM
mand, now made dash for the front
door of the house and began battering
at the heavy wood work with the butts
OF their rifles. The fire of the defend
ers could not reach them there. and
every moment the door quaked to Its
fall under the rain Of the heavy blows
showered upon it. There was no time
to be lost, and Dow quickly mustered
his forces on the stair landing which
commanded the main entrance to the
house, and did not leave the rear en-
trance entirely unprotected. When the
door went down the marauders found
themselves facing the belching volcano
of fire and shot. No wonder they fall
tered for a moment, but when Don Juan
dubbed his musket, rushed up the
stairs with dare devil courage, other OF
his party rushed on after him. Again

the Brazilian more than half way,
knocked the musket out of his hand,
and selling him by the throat hurled
him back upon his followers, just as
Miss Sallie, who was peeping around a
corner Of the stairway at the tide OF
battle shot sheep herder in the shout
der with one of her revolvers. 1t Is
conceded by Dow that his daughter
Sallie, saved the day. She and her re-
volvers took part just in the very nick
OF time. and shook the courage Of the
followers Of Don Juan. The latter
withdrew his forces and no more was
heard Of him that night. Mr.. Dow de-
clares that he will shoot the Brazilian
on sight, and everybody hopes he'll see
him very soon. Sallie Dow is still car
rying around with her that cunning lit.

name, and she doesn't pretend that II

RAILWAYS Queer Defect.

A curious defect has been discover
ed in Buda Pesths underground rail-
way. There are not enough ventilat-
ing apertures in the tunnel and the
trains rushing through 1t compress the
air in it like that in the tube of "a
linski pneumatic gun. On some occa-
sions the cars have beeen lifted from
the track and the passengers have been
almost suffocated. One stretch Of tun-
mel two miles long has only a single
ventilating aperture, making it almost
an air-tight compartment. Any con-
structing engineer ought to have
known what would be the result OF
such pneumatic conditions.

burial of a Glnnt.

The biggest man in all Rhode Island,
Mr.. Eben ]. Hemenway, colored bar
Der, was buried at Providence last Sun
day. About 500 people, both white and
black, assembled to pay their last re
spects to the well-known character.
Hemenway weighed about 500 pounds
before death. His coffin was an i'm
mense affair, and the window frames
and a portion of the house had to be
moved. Fourteen bearers were re-
quired to lift the remains through the
window into the hearse. The expan-
sive grave required two men two days
to excavate.

SALLIE DOW.


Sallle to become his wife. She laughed
at him, and he began to curse. Then
Miss Sallie became alarmed, and, al
tering her tone, begged for time. She
said she must consult her father.
Tonight" said the Brazilian, Il
will call for my answer"
Sallie rode wildly for her fathers
house, and in a few words told her
story. She was sure, she said, the man
was mad, and as for marrying him, she
declared she would as soon think Of
mating with the Old Boy himself
Father Dow received Don Juan cour-
teously when the latter called that
evening, and listened to him with a
fine show of patience. The Brazilian
wasted no words.
"senor," he said, "your daughter
pleases me, and l will take her for my
wife. / return to my ranch in the
morning. | will now go and get a
priest and we will be married imme-
diately."
Sallie's father was naturally some
what nonplussed by such winged
words. He told the Don that he did
not know him we'll enough to consider
him in that light and advised that the
discussion end right there. Don Juan
flew into a terrible passion and de-
clared that he would take the girl with
out her fathers consent. But Sallie's
father gripped the Don by the collar
and threw him out Of the front door
with so much energy and good will that
1t was some moments before the teeth
of the noble Brazilian ceased to rattle.
He went away, however, vowing that
he would have Sallie II he had to burn
the house about the stern parents ears
to get her.
Now, instead of keeping his bitter
anger locked in his breast De la Corda
went about the country publishing his
intention of taking the girl by force.
Mr.. Dow, however, was not to be
caught mapping and promptly fortified
his roof tree and armed his servants
with Winchesters and his daughter
with couple of revolvers.
keep one of those for the crazy
Brazilian, my DEAR" said he to Sallie,
and the girl marked Dow's name On
the gun and put it away in safe place.
Meanwhile love and mortified vanity
were waging fearful warfare in the
Brazilian's breast. He found little diff
ficulty in enlisting a band of reckless
sheep herders under his banner and ad-
vanced upon Mr.. BOWS house under
cover Of the night. The sheep herders
were promised all the booty they could
capture. They surrounded the house
and called upon Dow to produce the
girl, threatening him with death and
his house with the brand IL he refused
to reply. But Merchant Dow had Sc
cured the cooperation Of few OF his
nearest neighbors, and these, with a
half dozen servants who were devoted
ly attached to him and his daughter,
constituted the party Of defense. Dow's
orders were to await the word Of com
mand and then burn powder without
stint.
De la Corda rode into battle on a
mustang. Although he still treasured a
recollection Of his desired father-in-
laws strong right arm, he never for an
instant doubted that he would scare
the Dow household into submission.

BURKE.cAvENDIsH MURDERS.
Death of Mrs. Curloy Evokes Memories
of Dark Days In ireland.

Death of Mrs. Curloy Evokes Memories
of Dark Days In Ireland.
"reminiscences and painful memories
of dark pages in Ireland's history were
brought to light and aired upon the
death of woman In Chicago recently.
That woman was Mrs. Mary Jane Cur
ley, wife of Daniel Curley, who was
hanged on May II, 1883, accused Of
being one of the Irish National Invinci-
bles guilty of the murder Of Edwin
Burke and Lord Cavendish. Mrs. Cur
ley's relatives were people of gentle
birth and breeding and owned much
property in Dublin. All this was seized
at once by the English crown, and soon
after the execution Of Daniel Curley,
the widow, with her father, mother
brother, two sisters, and two sons, left
the land towards whose government
they felt such bitter hatred and came
to America. The father, mother, and
one sister made q humble home for
themselves in New York, while the rest
Of the party went on west to Chicago.
BY taking in boarders Mrs. Curley sup
ported herself and two boys, and for six
years lived SO quietly, not even those
who came to know her best dreamed
of the tragic history Of her life. Few
of the family possessions were allowed
to leave Ireland's shores, but under a
false bottom in Mrs. Curley's trunk
were concealed a life-size portrait Of
her husband, the revolver he had car
ried the night of the murder, and the
most interesting relic of all-the big

ssme 16-years-old daughter OF Mer-
chant Dow Tylque, some 40 miles east
Of Albuquerque, has had a wide ex-
perience Of suitors of all compilations
and every shade of ferocity. She Is
pretty enough to drive Metropolitan
exquisite to the commission Of extrav-
agances, and 1t will be easily compre-
hended that her charm for the lonely
ranchman or the wild sheepherder is
next to irresistible. Miss Dow, how
ever, never found any difficulty In get
ting rid Of her lovers until she met
Don Juan Miguel de la Corda, fierce
and even naughty Brazilian, who claims
a lineage as long as the everlasting
hills. Don Juan Is dark, not Unlocking
and full Of determination. He met
Miss Dow one glorious afternoon when
she was riding a favorite horse, and
from that hour he could think Of moth
ing but her superb figure, her bronze
brown eyes," her lustrous hair. The
Don's counting was swift and to the
point There was no difficulty about
securing an introduction, and before
he had known her for quarter of an
bour the impetuous Brazilian asked

claimed Irene. "We'll have that, II We
have to coax for week."
Grandma was silent for several min
ltes, while we chartered and coaxed
her. At last she gave away and began:
Years ago, when was a girl, things
we're so different from our way Of llV-
Ing now that fear my story will seem
improbable to you. l lived in small
western town, where my father had a
tract Of land almost as large as this en-
lire village. It was lonely place for
young people, but frequent visits to
school friends and return visits from
them relieved the dreariness some
what. We had plenty Of riding, how
ever, as we'll as an occasional dance;
we really had little time to NOPE.
Still 1t was sad change when my
sister married and went to live ITO
miles away. 1t seemed as remote as II
she had crossed the ocean; but the
glorious anticipation of visiting her
kept me in a fever Of excitement for a
whole year, During this time I had
met Paul Foster your grandfather and
became engaged to him, and 1t was ar
ranged that he should accompany father
nnd myself on the journey,
stage coaches were the only con-
veyances then, but there was an en-
chantment about travel then that no
amount Of luxury in palace car can
equal now.
"The drive was glorious. On some
parts of the road sat on top Of the
stage; but when / was tired, or the
road rougher than usual, l crept in
side. Sometimes we would walk while
the horses rested or followed slowly.
Toward evening we reached some small
tavern and remained all night-glad by
that time Of the change, but just as
eager to start again the next morning.
"The second day, just as We were
starting, a young man came up and
hurriedly whispered to Silas, the
driver. I remember still my lively
curiosity as to what it was all about,
when / saw Silas lean forward and
draw two large, fierce-looking re-
volvers. He examined them carefully,
meanwhile holding the lines a peculiar
way, partly between his knees with
the ends turned about his arm.
II found out the meaning Of the
whisper and the pistols, too, when
early in the afternoon we entered a
narrow pass between the hills. BY
this time I was covering inside the
coach, though 1 could see, without
wanting to, the rugged mountains, the
steep cliffs, the narrow roadway along
which Silas peered carefully, but even
he was taken by surprise when half
dozen men suddenly sprang up, APP
parently from nowhere. 1 can not ex'
press the rapidity with which the
whole thing was done. Two stood al

Buzzard's BAY Meeting.


Chicago, Aug. IS-A special to the
Tribune from Buzzard's Bay, Mass,
saws;
Attorney General Harmon was at
Gray Gables yesterday and left on the
late train last night While here he
met Secretaries Carlisle, Olney and La.
mont, these four members of the cabi-
net being at Buzzard's Bay at the same
time.
There is no doubt some important
matters were discussed, Notwithstanding
the statement that the visit here of SO
many cabinet ministers at this particu-
lar time Is purely of social character.
There are severil reports In circula-
tiion of what passed at the meeting, one
being the adyisability of issuing state
ment with relation to the third party,
and that Secretary's Smith position was
also considered.
SPANS alleged claim for damages is
also thought to have been considered.
The fact that Calderon Carlisle sent a
printed copy of his brief to every lead
ing government official In Washington
may have caused complaint. His brief
was prepared at the direction of the
Spanish minister. 1t is said to be prac-
tieally direct attack on the administra-
ton on the part of the Spanish minister
under cover of the attorneys brief.
Should Cleveland take offense, Minister
Dupuy de LONE might find himself
a person non gratis.
