Cupid's Truce With Death.


Chicago Telegram to New York Press.
CHICAGO, April 2S.-Down in Arizona a
dust-clad man rode up to an Adobe hut
three days ago. He was a physician, and
the cowboys who brought him had travelled
many miles over the sandy hills. The doc
tor entered the little cabin and looked at
the man who lay there in the Junk.
You have one week more to live" he
said.
At that the man in the bunk stirred and
raised himself on his elbow.
Seven days. he muttered. Then he
left the bunk with some effort and wrote
a telegram.
To-day this man, James Garrard Steven
son, a grandson of Kentucky's old Cover
nor, was married to his former wife in his
fathers home at Woodlawn. The telegram
he sent from the clay-clothed cabin in
Arizona, where he had gone after health,
was dispatched to his old Missouri sweet
heart, who is now a clerk in the Treasury
Department at Washington. II asked her
to come to Chicago. she came yesterday
morning and found her former husband.
Then followed the marriage.
Mr. and Mrs, Stevenson were married
first about eleven years ago. Trouble fol-
lowed and Mrs. Stevenson left her hus-
band. He admitted last night that he did
not th;nk of her as often as his duty de-
manded.
