JUARtZ OFFICIALS
To Be promoted A Reward For
CAPTURING Thirf.

Mayor Onate and Chief of Police
Ponce. of JuareZ. are both sure of pro-
motion as a reward for the clever cap
ture of the Mexico City diamond thief
The promotion may not come at once
but it is certain to take place within
a few months.
The mayor will be rewarded in this
manner for issuing the orders for the
arrest of the absconedr and Chief
Ponce for executing them. No cash
reward will be paid, unless it is done
privately, and it is said that Mexico
does not permit it's officials to publicly
receive rewards for the capture of
criminals, as is common in this coun-
try. The government, however. ad-
heres to a strict rule of rewarding its
servants by promotion.
The diamond thief, it has since de-
veloped, came up on the train in the
disguise of a Catholic priest and his
makeup was so clever that even the
trainmen were deceived and his rever-
ence was the recipient of many atten-
tons during the trip from members of
his own faith.

She is of Scotch birth. Although she
owns to 49," she has pink and white
complexion and teeth that a girl of 20
might envy. Her hands are beautiful
still-white, slender, velvety hands that
have never lifted anything rough or
heavy in all her 50 years. Her eyes are
large, full and blue gray. She, too, had
a gay and brilliant youth and middle
age.
ooh, yes," said she. retrospectively,
II had plenty of admirers, and they
were great nuisance."
But an expression lowered about the
merry muscles of her mouth that belied
the statement. Besides, say what she
will, a woman's admirers are not in her
secret heart nuisance to her. 1t isn't
nature.

felt the charm Of his fascination. He
was too Fascinating, and that was the
trouble. There were music in his voice,
grace in his manner, and that voice and
that manner every. one of his children
inherited. AS a Shakespearean reciter
he had few equals, being dramatic, fer
vid and graceful, with voice lovingly
echoing every, shade of meaning. On
the stage he would have been great
actor. Intellectually he was man of
power, but lazy and comfort loving. You
might hear him preach SO times and
think him no more than the ordinary
parson. The hundredth time something
would occur to wake him up emotional

than the generality of her sex; but she
listens to the soul inspiring music with
her beautiful liquid eyes suffused with
emotion, or prays with her face de-
murely covered by her tiny gloved
hands, a saint in miniature, without q
thought of the outrageous lie that has
gained her choice seat in the edifice.
And the funny part of it is that if you
did bring the incident to her notice
she would not understand treating the
matter seriously. She would probably
say, with a. roguish look, well, you
know, don't hear very well" Or. beg
ging the question altogether favorite

seat as well as somebody else? Fem
