CAN'T TAKE THE MONEY.
Minister Buchanan May Ask Permis-
sion to Accept 100000 offered
Him by Argentina and Chill.

A special to the New York Herald

Buchanan requests permission of the
state department to accept the e 90
900 ($lO0,OO0) offered to him by Ar
gentina and Chill in payment of his
services in arbitrating the boundary
dispute between them it will probably
be refused.
In the first place, the acceptance of
the money is forbidden by law, with

and, in the second, the department is
of the opinion that the usefulness of
Mr.. Buchanan as minister at Buenos
Ayres might be impaired in conse-

1t is said that Mr.. Buchanan may be
able to have the presentation of the

toners to his shop, and prouder still of
her love.
AS the morning progressed, the
crowds began to gather in the plaza
Fair day in Palermoisagalaeven Every
man and woman puts on his and her
best, bright with ribbons and decorated
with flowers. They walk about in the
morning, looking into the booths and
eating sweetmeats. In the afternoon
there are cock fights, and Punch and
Judy shows and fencing bouts. Much
wine is drunk, and as evening comes on
there are brawls and fights at the
tavern.
This day was like all other fair days.
By nightfall the streets were full of
roisterers. But Gabrielle did not hes
itate to start out alone when Petro
failed to come after her.
From the tavern came shouts and
songs, but she did not heed. Straight
into the drinking-room she went, and
there, sure enough, was Petro, sleepy
with drink, but trying to keep his eyes
open, SO that he could pour more of the
stuff down his throat.
Gabrielle pulled him by the sleeve
He looked at her in dazed sort of way,
but made no effort to rise from the
table.
"Petro, 1t is time we were starting"
she said. 1T is late, and it will take us
three hours to travel the road in the
dark"
Petro still stared vacantly. But the
others at the table were not so stupid
when they saw pretty girl. One of
them caught Gabrielle by the wrist,
and, drawing her toward him, tried to
kiss her. She screamed and struggled
to break from him, but he held her.
Come, now, little one; give me one
kiss" he insisted.
"Petro, help me-" she cried. Petro
did not move.
But from another corner of the room
came unexpected aid. A boy dressed
like goatherd ran up. In one hand
was his whip, and with it he struck the
drunkard in the face. With a cry of
rage, the fellow sprang up, releasing
Gabrielle's arm. The boy stepped aside
as he sprang at him, and, sticking his
foot out, tripped him SO that he fell
sprawling on the floor. A moment later
the boy had seized the girl and they
were running from the place.
In the tavern yard were many trees
and In their shadow they sat down.
Both were painting, but more from ex-
element than exertion. They said
nothing for time. but listened to the
men In the room they had just left.
They were quarreliDg. They cursed
each other in angry tones. and finally

Antonio and Gabrielle
CHAPTER I.

nALERMO was not yet awake. Her
eyes were still heavy with the
nights slumbers, though here and there
shutter was flung open as the donkey
cart ratified past.
In the streets the gray mist of the
sea still fingered, but the sun was strug-
Cling through and the golden glow on
the red-roofed houses gave promise of
a glorious day. The girl in the cart
rubbed her eyes as she raised her head
from the blanket and smiled:
1--WE will have a good day, Petro," she
said.
Petro nodded, and hit the donkey
with the whip. 1t mattered little to him
whether or not the sun shone, even If
it were the day of Palermo's street fair.
Wine tasted as we'll in the tavern as
under the trees, and he knew the dom
kew could find the road back to Castle
monte though the clouds poured rain
all day.
But the girl bubbled over with hap
piness. She shifted the damp air and be-
gan to sing. Petro scowled. Finally, as
they came upon a square and he drew
up to let the donkey stick his nose in
the fountain, he said:
81 will go to the tavern, Gabrielle
You can walk to the plaza.
With that the girl jumped to the
ground and took the basket he handed
to her. Across the square she walked
then down a narrow street and, again
turning, the boulevard, already deco
rated with flags and streamers, lay be-
fore her.
A few early arrivals like herself were
there. Nearly all were girls, and they
too, carried baskets. Here and there a
man was stretching gay awning ovel
the street or busting his wares.
Gabrielle kept on her way until sht
reached little shop, where pleasant
faced old man was taking down thu
| gratings. AS he caught sight of her HI
came down from the bench and kissed
her on the cheek.
"You are early, Gabrielle" he said.
