LOVE IN LEATHER.

No wonder he looked bit leathery;
no wonder he tied his tie in manner
suggesting shoe strings, and expressed
his estimate of II felowman's character
by the mysterious letter A, Il or ID.
lie was Gin the shoe business. He
always expressed it in that way as
sounding somewhat better than the
more vulgar acknowledgment, 81 am n
| clerk in 3 shoeshop." But he was.
And his fingers had tied and united
more shoe laces than even the fore
man of the establishment. Now, al
though his eyes were trife weak, not
to say pink aud watery, his trousers
knees shiny, and though he possessed
several other unpleasant drawbacks,
his heart was heart after all.
lie never knew he had heart until
the day she came to get some slippers
to wear ut her own coming out party.
Mamma was with her-mamma, pom
derous and imposing, but whose shoes
he had fitted for years, with all the
patience imaginable. Said mamma
that day as she swept into the big
shop:
"Where is Mr.. Jenkinson? / could
never think of having shoes fitted by
any other young person"
So when they called him-he was at
the back of the shop explaining lucid
ly the intricacies of a transfer clerk to
n lady from out of town, who was sus
picious 'of fraud in the matter-he
came at once.
81 remember-fves G, isn't it?"
said he, bowing before her magnif-
cence of furs and silks.
"Oh, but it isn't today, Mr.. Jen-
kinson," said mamma, in superior
way. "1t's twos, and the narrowest
you have"
And then for the first time he saw
her-or rather her foot, for, after all,
it wns her foot which stole his heart
healthy and tough in the matter of
pretty feet, from having been in tho
business for years and more.
But that little foot! Or rather those
little feet, for he fitted them both.
They were slender, arched in instep,
curved like the most exquisite of shoe
| makers lasts. Not foot for an artist
to admire-not in the least-but q
foot to wear and dance in No. 9 shoe
in manner to win the heart of the
most blase shoeman.
"White satin, please, and quite jolly
high heels!" said n small, imperious
voice.
And such dreams of slippers, such
suggestions of coquetry in the matter
OF heels, as the amiable Mr.. Jenkin-
son procured from out mysterious
green boxes!
No wonder sho was satisfied!
"For I'm never going to wear ones
again. you understand, until I'm
either married or dead, said tho small,
imperious voice, essaying IL laugh.
''Horrors!" said mamma, "wbat a
reckless way of talking you have
learned at school! l feel quite like
finding fault. 1 do indeed"
But she only laughed again, and
skipped merrily out to be tucked into
robes by II pompous footman.
After that, when that footman waited
before the door of the shop, it was
more often 'twos. quite narrow, "than
"fves, broad"
And poor Mr.. Jenkinsoni
How could little girl just from
school, and reveling in her first sea-
son know that among her fifty odd
adorers there was one who never SO
much as dared raise his pink, watery
eyes from her feet?

Chicago. July 1O.-The fierce heat
under which the greater portion of the
country has sweltered since the LIST of
July, moderated in many localities to-
day, and predictions from the weather
bureau at Washington indicate that

relief within n hours.
The records of prostrations and
deaths resulting from the long heated
term approaches in magnitude that of
a general epidemic.
Reports from all sections of the
country reached by the Associated
Press this evening show prostrations
numbering in the neighborhOod of
1000 with Fatalities close to $50,
In addition TO this. there were scores
of deaths resulting indirectly from the
intolerable heat, the death rate in

The central states suffered more
severely than other sections. the heat
being most deadly in Chicago, Cincin-

fatalities. this city heads the list with
81 dead, Cincinnati and suburban points

Throughout the south the heat was
intense, but the death rate much lower
than in the north.

railroads were prepared TO haul IL
Colonel Myron T. Herrick, receiver,
was not prepared to say this morning
whether the Wheeling & Lake Erie

received advices from Dillonvilie that

The events of the morning were the
frantic efforts of the little dealers to
secure coal from the big dealers TO

Teodcra Salas. She Was about so years
of age, and her murderers were An
tonic Lucero, aged about IS, and Teo-
doro Tafoya, aged %.
It seems that Tafoya had a sister,
who had been sick for some time. and
could not get well, it was claimed, on
account of the old woman, who was
considered by the ignorant and super
stitious natives Of the neighborhood as
a "bruha," or witch. and who exer-
cised her wiles, in their opinion, over
the young girl. 1t appears that. fol-
lowing the advice of his mother, young
Tafoya and his companion, Lucero,
followed the old woman to a place
about three miles from San Lorenzo,
where. after being frightened, she was
prevailed upon by the young demons
to go back with them TO the girls
house and cure her.
They placed her on the saddle of
Lucero's horse, young LuceTo mount
ing behind. and started.
After going a short distance Tafoya
pulled his pistol and killed the old
womans dog. which was following, re-
marking that he had gotten rid OF one
'.bruha" and would get rid OF the
other (the old Woman).
He thereupon threw a lasso over her
and. starting his horse, jerked her OF
the horse. He then instructed Lucero
to attach his lasso to her feet, and the
two. starting their horses on the run,
dragged the woman TO death. Not a
vestige of clothing was found on the
body when discovered.
After lingering around the place for
a few days the murderers disappeared.
The mother of Tafoya was arrested, she
having told the officers who called
at her house that she had told her son

Pittsburg, July 1O.-The week closes
with the forces engaged in the miners
strike determined as ever and on the
alert. to secure the slightest advant-
age. No openly aggressive work was
done today by either side, but the
miners officials had a secret meeting
at which ii is believed a vigorous
campaign against the New York &
Cleveland coal miners to be inaugur-
ated tomorrow was decided upon. The
operators apparently are doing little.
and are saying less. However, their
confidence in defeating the miners has
not abated in the least. The expected
trouble in the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore & Ohio did not come 10 the
surface today. The miners were paid
off as announced, but no trouble what
ever followed.
The effect of the strike is being
manifested in the price of coal. An
increase of so cents ton was SHOWN
today when application was made for
contracts and a number Of Pittsburg
operators not being able to work their
mines are seeking to buy coal in the
West Virginia field in order to reap the
advantage of the advance. There has
been no intima ton of lawlessness as
yet in this region. but Sheriff Lowrey
of Allegheny county, has anticipated
any trouble by swearing in 500 depu-
ties. who are in readiness for the field
at a moments notice. At this time
such precaufion seems like over
Zealousness. The miners say there VIII
be no overt acts committed during the
war and all proceedings will be strictly
within the law.
President Ratchford left the city
quietly tonight but will return in time
to ACCOMPANY the men in their
demonstration against the New York
and cleveland compahy's miners.
The miners on the Wheeling divisions
were paid today for the two weeks
ending July l, and contrary To eXpec-
tations there was no disorder at any
of the company's offices. Nearly $40
600 is said to have been paid al the
various mines on the Monongahela
river and Venetia- The men made
their visit to the cashiers in a quiet
and undemonstrative manner. tInlay-
VILE which is practically the center OF
the mines in that division, was as quiet
as q country village on Sunday. The
practice of deducting rent and store
bills was followed to large extent at
the comDany's Offices.
At the majority of the mines it is
said the men will be required TO pay
their months rent in advance. and
wherever this is Impossible, they VIII
be required 10 vacate the company's
houses.
There was a furry in the coal mar
ket today.
Before the strike. coal was quoted
al 20 cents per ton.
This afternoon it was difficult to buy
at $3.50 ton.
A few of the operators who were
on the inside made considerable
money. Some of the operators have
gone in the brokerage business In
the West Virginia country. The Port
Royal Coal company has bought 300
cars of West Virginia coal and was
selling it from S1.00 10 $3.50.
