FEMININE REVENGE.
Women Take Hand in Defeating a
Tilt

Jilt.
B. L. Short, city clerk of Kansas CITY
Kans., who was a candidate before tbc
republican primary election for mayor
of that city yesterday afternoon, wa
beaten In the race on account of a love
affair
Mr.. Short has been city clerk for sly
years and Is known as a good official.
Many expected him to win easily.
But he didn't The women beat him.
They voted almost solidly against him
and they did it because of his fickleness
in love.
The "crime" for which the women
voted against Short was a unique one.
1t seems that he had been attentive to
Miss Sadie Parsons for over twelve
years, and had been engaged to marry
her. According to her story they were
to have been married last fall Mr..
Short called on her one evening and
they talked over their engagement and
had the date fixed. The second evening
thereafter Mr.. Short was quietly mar
ried to Mrs. Grace Firestone, who had
been divorced from her first husband
The first intima ton Miss Parsons re-
ceived of her lovers untaithfulness was
from published notice of the marriage
She was almost beside herself with
grief at Shorts unfaithfulness and told
her story without reluctance.
It proved splendid campaign material
for Mr.. Shorts opponents. The women
began talking of it as soon as Shorts
candidacy was mentioned and did not
let up until the polls closed. 1t proved
particularly effective among one hun
dred and twenty of Miss Parsons
teacher friends, and it is said they vo-
ted solidly against Short. Thirty-five
more votes would have elected Short il
he could have secured them.
Never in the history of Kansas City
Kan, have the women shown so much
interest in an election as they did in the
one yesterday. The whole feminine
population was aroused. Many women
went about in hacks and buggies and
hauled other women to the polls and
urged them not TO vote for Short.
he was the favorite with the men. be.
cause they realized that he had made a
good city clerk and believed he would
make a good mayor, and there was q
split in the bosom of many a fanily
about how votes should De cast. Hus-
bands sometimes tried TO influence
wives and daughters to vote for Short

A Chat With Gen. A. W. Greedy About the Arctic R.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct 2S.-All
the forces of exploration are being

try will so into a new expedition to
reach the north pole. Lieut. Peary has
his fund of $15O,0O0 made up, and is
making his arrangements to start on a
ftVe-years' race from Northern Green
land. Wellman, the newspaper man,
has 100 dogs in training in Norway, and
his expedition will be ready to start
in the spring. In the meantime the
man who has perhaps done more than
any other now living to increase our
knowledge of polar matters is working
away quietly here at Washington, at

some of the most terrible experiences
known to man. He was thirty-seven
When he was started for the pole to be
gone TWO years. He went with the un-
derstanding that he was to be relieved
al that time, and he took with him onlv
stores for twenty-seven months. The
two years ended and no expedition
came. Greely's stores were about used
up and still no expedition. The party
then started southward to find a place
for winter quarters until the following
summer could bring a snip. They drift

and splicing one or two parts that

dinary care the conspirators could be
trapped to a man, and If by one stroke

further hesitation l therefore crept
slowly back, and descended to my

CHAPTER XVIII.

The Skylight in the Toison dor.
Once back in my room flung off my
cloak and took e. survey of my new
quarters. The room was long and low,
and situated in the topmost story of
the house. In one corner was a settle
covered with a faded brocade, whilst
on the other side there was a ward
robe and a few necessaries. The bed
was placed at the extreme end Of the
room, and close to the window which
overlooked the back of the house, and
through which from where I stood the
blue sky alone was visible. There was
a table and a couple OF chairs. Be
tween the table and the bed interviewed
a clear space, about ten by six, covered
with coarse carpeting. If [ am thus
precise in my description, 1 would say
1 have done so in order to explain
clearly what follows.
SO far things were satisfactory
enough, and beyond what 1 had a
right to expect in such a locality. The
one drawback was that [ would be
compelled to use the turret at the end
of the passage for my watch, and
thus run the risk of being observed
from the other houses. In the mean
time I determined to see exactly what
could be effected from the window,
and pushing the table aside, so as to
get better view, looked out [ then
saw that the house L was in, as well
as the Toison dor, was built against
the remains of the old wall of Paris
Below me there was a sheer drop of
fifty to sixty feet, right into the bed
OF the abandoned fosse, which was
covered by a thick underground and
full of debris. A little beyond the fosse
was a portion of what was known as
the new wall This was perhaps in a
more ruinous condition than the forti-
fication it was supposed to have re-
placed. The brushwood grew thick and
high against 1t, and | could see a gap
where a breach had been effected prob
ably during the last siege when the
Sixteen and Nine. de Montpensier held
Paris against the two kings. Beyond
that stretched the open country, where
had | a mind to linger on the view,
might have made out the Windings of
the river, the houses of COrneuVe, and
Z.
But it was not of these l was think
ing, for at that survey I had grasped
the fact that de Gomeron could not
have chosen a spot better suited for
his purposes than the Toison dor. 1t
was a part of Paris as secure as if it
had been cut off from the city and set
in some unknown island, such as those
who sail to the new world describe
1 thought at first of stopping any fur
ther concern with the window but as
I was turning away I looked rather
particularly at the wall below me and
saw that a ledge ran along it about
three feet below the window Follow
ing its track with my eyes, observed
that it was carried along the face Of
the Toison dor, and in doing this 1
became aware that there was a win
dow open at the back of Babette's
house, and that this was situated on
the same level as my room, but just
about the middle, instead of the ex-
trcme end. as mine was When I con-
sidered the position Of this window,
