SYNOPSIS.


SYNOPSIS.
Manuel Salazar was betrothed to Al
caria de Vargas, daughter of an ansto-
cratic and wealthy landowner in southern
New Mexico A week before the date Of
the wedding Manuel rides TO a nearby
town with Enrique, Alcaria's brother, TO
complete some arrangements for tha ap-
preaching ceremony. Enrique visits a
gaming house, and there Manuel finds him
engaged in a dispute over the cards. A
fight ensues, in which Manuel, attempting
to rescue Enrique, is slightly wounded.
Blind with rage and passion, Enrique
does not recognize his friend and attacks
him savacely, and Manuel, Obliged IN self
defense TO use his knife, seriously wounds
the brother of his betfothed. Manuel is
preparing to carry the news to Enrique's
family, when he overhearS that Enrique
is dead. Unable, although justified in
his act, tO>faee Alcaria and her people
be fiees far to the north, changes his
name to Ramon Sanchez and enters the
Jesuit order. One day twenty years after
the tragedy that had so changed the
course OF his life, while obeying a sum

Manuel was daZed. Never for an in

triumphant struggle of his love; the joys
for which he had forsaken a holy life and
perchanced damned his soul were not to be
his. She for whom lie had surrendered
everything but life locked upon him as
mailman, insane from a physical hurt.
He did not know that she also had passed
through an ordeal OF temptation; briefer
than his own, but one that had tried her
sorely, and that she had emerged as the

According to a recent article IN

posed to have all of the county officials

ance in office.
Chairman Campbell of Three

this city Sat friday. Asked about the
feeling of his town in regard to the eff
fort being made inithe legislature to

pie generally there preferred to be
left alone as they now are. but if they
have got to be set over into some other
county they would much prefer going
to Villas county rather than to Oneida.
The Rhinelander Herald has the
following good words to say OF the
congregational church here and it's
pastor:
Rev. HI. G. Todd. of Eagle River,
while in the city yesterday informed
the writer that the Congregational
church at his home would hold cele-
bration in April, it then having been
ten years since it was founded. Rev.
Todd has been with the church for
nearly five years and it is largely
through his work that the church is
the prosperous one it is today. Not
only has his work been confined to the
church, but reading room establish
ed by him four years ago is still rum
ming and it's influence is being felt
among the boys that are growing up in
that village.
William Mckinley is now Presi-
dent of these United States. He was
inaugurated today at Washington, and
Cleveland's four years of debt piling is
at an end. Congress will be called to-
gether in extra session the 18th of this
month and tariff law will be enacted
to take the place of the Wilson law
that will protect American industries
and furnish revenue enough to run the
government. The era Of prosperity is
at hand and although improvement is
liable to- be slow as it will take a long
time to recover from the financial de-
preston of the last three years, it is
bound to come.
