"The Register, Wheeling, w Va:
''Therc has been no fight with the Hat

Cap rs yet
ON J KEADLE, Sheriff"
The Register adds: "Men have been
killed in the Southern part of his State
in quarrel among members Of the Hat
field family and others in the past, but
not one killing for fifty reported Cap"
Hatfield, before Lis escape from Jail two
weeks ago, was confined for nothing more
serious than involuntary manslaughter r,
and had only five weeks of three
months sentence to serve. There was no
other crime charged against him, and if
he is never captured it will not be seri-

was neither nymph of the zania nor sprite
of the field, only black-gowned school,
girl, who stood on the school-house steps
and waved handkerchief at the passing
tourist. The tourist was q man and
young-which was all the schoolgirl
cared about. The girl was pretty and
WllloWy-Which was all the man cared
about. He raised his cap and motioned
TO clump of trees down the highway.
OF course she would understand II was
all part of the romance and the couu-
try, and she understood. She left the
calling, screaming children and her older
companions and strolled toward where he
sat on the grass under the trees IL was
out of sight of the school-house. He
watched her black, 1.-THE figure
moving through the hecked sunshine
that came in through the plumy branches
OF the peppers. They were all alone in
the midst of spring and the garden birds
were singing from the sky, and the soft
wind blew from the sea beyond the valley.
The snowy mountains were far away, and
the world on the other side of them yet
farther.
Her name, she said, was Alicia. How
sweet the double e's of the novels how
different the stern Nelson to which he had
to confess. But even that was pretty
when she said It. How old was she? She
was 10. The heroines of the poets were
that age. Where did she live? Some
vague way over there among the pink
blossoms He remembered that when
he was a child those questions had always
begun an acquaintance: What Is your
name? How old are you? Where do
you live?" All the wisdom he had accu-
mulated in the years between then and
now had vanished. He did not want it,
He forgot that he had meant to reach the
hotel in the valley by luncheon time He
was not hungry; but Alicia was. She
put her plump brown hand into her
pocket and brought out a newspaper roll.
inside OF the paper there was a tortilla
and boiled meat. She ate these while
she talked to him, and when she had fin
ished, she started to draw the back OF her
wrist across her mouth; but remembering
the teachings of school and the presence
OF the foreign young man, she took out
her handkerchief, the white signal which
had fluttered in the air; but he saw that IL
was grimy and ink-spotted so he asked
for the wire ring she wore instead.
Alicia parted with It as though 1t had been
very precious.
Then she brushed the crumbs from her
black frock and stood up. II must go
now" she said, with an accent that kept
the words from being commonplace.
First tell me where you live" he ask

dressed in faded dark blue, with a yellow
handkerchief around her neck and pink
bow in her hair. She was very pretty,
and very open in accepting the open de-
votion of the American 1t was still just
lark for him. 1t was rather more for
her-a little more.
A tally-ho drove up to the station and
the driver stopped it, that his party of
tourists might watch one of the really
picturesque scenes left to the United
States. Some of the washers looked up.
Cameron and Alicia Manzelo were talking
together and did not. Both were gazing
light love into each others eyes The
boss of the gang came up to the tally-ho
with a handful of oranges. The finest
one, all wet and gstening with its
scrubblng. he offered to the girl on the
front seat.

She praised. II am so thirsty that 1t will
taste good
May ! peel it for your" he asked with
an infection that showed him English at
once.
He had not offered to peel them for the
others, but this was a very beautiful wo-
man, with brown hair and a skin that re-
minded him Of the women at home.
While he prepared it, she looked at the
workers. And when he handed IL TO
her, THANK you" she said again, land

in the blue gown is? lie IS evidently not

He wondered why she should care to
know but he answered: mo, he Is an
American. All 1 can tell you about him
is that his name seems to be Nelson. 1t

The pretty Mexican cast up her dark
eyes just then and took notice OF the tall
ly-ho. She had known it was there all
along, but she had not been Interested in
It.
THE lady on the front watch you" she
murmured to her companion.
Cameron glanced up. He caught the
unfaItering look of the brown eyes, and
the scales-the rosy scales of romance
fell from his own. He dropped the
orange that he held into the water in his
tub and started to the tally-ho. But he
took only a step. then went back. The
girl on the front seat had turned to the
others.
Cant we get out for awhile? I'm sure
we are all cramped and tired, and ]
should like to watch this pretty scene for
a Bit
The EngHshman helped her down, but
she thanked him and walked away Her
manner implied that she would make her
own invest legations. She wandered
among the boxes and the tubs and trays,
hazarding a word TO the washers here and
there. Most Of them did not understand
her. She came up finally beside Came

To do away with such a structure would
be a sacrilese, while to leave it in disuse
would be one of the great pities of the
age But this the discoverer of T square
miles for Greater New York does not pro-
pose to do.
He suggests that the present bridge
company be allowed to operate just as
now, and puts forth the claim that there
y will be as many people patronizing the
bridge as at present. 1t will be a short
way for Greater New York to commune
cate with the opposite sides of itself; and
the bridge will be a convenient way of get
ting from one part of town to another
in fact, sort of short elevated railroad
The inventor also has an idea for the
treatment of the new land he has discov-
cred. He has several schemes, the most
ornamental of which Is the establishment
of grand avenue to run down the center
of this made land, to be known as Presi-
dent avenue. This he says, could be
adorned with statues of the presidents of
the United States and could be made the
new Wall street of Greater New York
This street, lined with magnificent sky
scrapers and adorned with the statues of
the presidents, would be one of the grand
est avenues in the world and it's location
here at the very head of the harbor would
have a highly beneficial effect upon for
eign visitors and diplomats
If France thought enough of the United
States to send over the statue of Liberty,
Greater New York should think enough
of Liberty to provide her with this magni-
ficent avenue, which would then lie al
most at her feet.
The profit upon a work of this kind can
he suggested rather than mentioned If
one Office building covering a space of
200 square feet brings $1,0OO,0OO in the open
market, how many such buildings could
be placed upon square miles!
This is a problem for the municipal stu
dent to ponder upon, and one for the
Greater New York commission to figure
out carefully. James Barton.
