tully and said: You mean, you can let

VIII; but we never do that sort of thing,
we really have not time" finished he, as
he saw the disappointment and distress
in her face, and recognized that he was
talking to a deluded dreamer rather
than a prospective sitter. And, being
q kindly man, he desisted from further
revelation that must shake her faith in
belief which lent a semblance of pleas
ure to life that was plainly not over
full of life's joys.
With slight shiver Nav drew her
cape more closely about her narrow
shoulders and Hat chest, and walked
slowly over to where Daughter was
absorbed in the revolving frames of pic
lures of beautiful ladies in their best
smiles and clothes that were almost as
interesting to her as a current fashion
book.
Mr.. Hegyessy turned to me with a
comprehensive shrug of his shoulders
anu said: There are thousands of
poor creatures like her who have un-
questioning faith in something that is
purest humbug. But what can one
do? They believe it all, and they don't

clutch and repeated her question. 1t
was question inappropriate to the sur
roundings, yet curiously apropos at the
moment it was asked.
Mr.. Hegyessy and I were standing
near the door of the Turkish room in
Marceau's studio. 1t was a dull day.
and the gray light outside filtered
through the rich, dark hangings at the
windows, filling the handsomely ap
pointed rooms with a ghostly twilight.
Because it was a dull day, Mr. Heg
yessy had few idle moments, and had
Just handed me a photograph of a man
Juggling with his own head, that he
had made as an experiment. He was eX-
planning to me how easy it is to produce
several impressions on the same sensi-
tized plate. making a whole that is weird
in the extreme when finished, when from
the elevator these two incongruous, but
by no means unusual, figures drifted
into the room.
We were so absorbed in our conversa-
tion that when they finally reached us,
after taking a cursory glance at the
surroundings, and Nav. asking first
as to prices, made her inquiry about the
spirit pictures. the effect was positively
uncanny Evidently she had caught a
glimpse Of the picture we were discuss
ing.
Mr.. Hegyessy, who is nothing If not
courteous and gallant, is also entirely
normal, and he smiled graciously and
said: ooh, yes; we can take spirit pho
toghaphs; we can take anything you
want"
A CLEAN as near resembling hops anil
Measure as probably ever finds place in
her face now crept into Maw's eyes, and
she said, expectantly: you under
stand, I mean when people are sitting
for their pictures you let the spirits come
so YOU can take their pictures at the
same timer"
At this, Daughter, with a disdainful
sniff, departed for the glass showcase
a few feet away, and proceeded to divide
her distinguished attention between a
colored photograph of Papinta, whom
she had probably seen and recognized,
and Collenz, the opera tenor, whom she
did not recognize, but who stood in the
flesh near by expressing rapturous de-
light in his volatile italian fashion over
the pictures of his beloved Esposa and
his precious Bambino, that he had called
to get.

In reply to Maw's last question, 1--WE
don't have time to bother with that
kind of spirit pictures, but"-with a
keen eye to business-"I can make them
come in a photograph. What kind of a
spirit would you lilke?" and he glanced
at the picture I held, and then at me,
with the suspicion of twinkle in his
eyes.
The expectant look left Maw's face,
and one Of incredulity took it's place.

The border vidette. (Nogales, Ariz.) 1894-1934, 1897-07-10

The VIDETTE hopes W. G. Greene
will be speedily acquitted of the charge
of killing j. G. Burnett, for he killed a
man who had murdered his innocent
child and her playmate and had
threatened to kill him. Mr.. Greene
was justified in the act or he never
would have committed it for he is we'll
known as peacable and law-abiding
citizen who has the respect of all the
best people of southern Arizona, while
the man he killed was one whom peo-
pie generally disliked and his associate
were gamblers and saloon loafers. No
jury, after hearing the evidence, will
decide Mr.. Greene is guilty.

w. C. Greene Bailed Out by
His Friends.
After Being Refused Bail by
Justice Duncan
His Attroneys, w. p. Harlow and w.
by Commissioner johnson

In the case of the Territory VS.. w
C. Greene, charged with killing J. G.
Burnett, at Tombstone last week,
Justice Duncan held Mr.. Greene to
answer with bail but his attorneys w
Fl. Barnes and W. P. Harlow soon had
out writ of habeas corpus and had
him released on $50, 600 bonds. Within
ten minutes after the bond was set it
was signed by E. J. Roberts in the
sum of $4,000: Hon. b. A. Packard.
$4,000, and Sam Barrow, 5000. Had
the bond been half a million it would
have been furnished as quickly.
Public sympathy is with Mr.. Greene
in this case. He did just what any
other man would have done under
similar circumstances. Nothing was
done by him in the matter until he had
found out positively that Burnett had
blown up the dam and drowned his
little girl and her playmate. No one
could blame Mr.. Greene for killing a
man who would do such an act Even
were playing in the creek below, he
should have known that the sudden
rush of water was liable to catch some
one anyway.
In another way was Mr.. Greene justi-
fled in taking no chances with the man
who had drowned his daughter. Bur-
nett had repeatedly threatened to kill
Greene and at the time of the killing
was sitting within reach of his Win
chester and surrounded by his friends.
Burnett was known to be a bad man
and of a quarrelsome and abusive
disposition, while Mr.. Greene is a
quiet and peaeeable citizen, the best
part of whose life has been given to
the up-building of Southern Arizona.
Burnett had in time killed number of
men and gloried in his record.
Mr.. Greene has helped to make it
possible for white men to live in this
country and has devoted the last
twenty-five years to fighting Indians
and building himself and family a
home.
District Attorney A. r. English and
Col. VIM. Herring are for the prosecu-
ton.
The district attorney and Justice of
the Peace Duncan, both worked hard
against Mr.. Greene and it was fore
gone conclusion before the hearing
ended that Duncan would refuse the
defendant bail. In his argument, At
torney Harlow roasted both the justice
and the district attorney for their I'M
due efforts to hold without bail.
The case will not come up till next
October when the grand jury meets.

THE republicans of the District of
Columbia who contributed money and
time to elect, Mckinley are inclined to
say cuss words every time they glance
over the list of seven juicy diplomatic
places which have been given to resi-
dents of the district. With the ex-
ception of join Hay, who is more of a
literary man than a politician and
more of a club and society man than
of either, and Louis A. Dent, who was
tine late Mr.. Blaine's private secretary
for a long time, the average republican
had never heard of these favored indi-
viduals until their names went to the
senate. IT, is rIobable that the other
five gentlemen are credited to the Dis
trict of Columbia for a convenience of
their congressional hackers, but that
doesn't make it please the local pie
hunters any better.
