VALE.
He smiled sadly.
This very evening the ten years ex-
pire. If the good Alvarado wishes
to keep his promise he has not much
time left"
Two knocks were heard on the door.
Pierre said to himself ironically:
There he is now"
He opened the door. He say before
him a man Of large stature, white hair
and beard with the mien of a cowboy
and the color of cinnamon.
The visitor addressed him in Span
ish:
Excuse me-" he said. Il am late.
You are Mr.. Lavalle?"
Yes" replied Pierre astonished.
81 am A~lvarado."
The young man nearly dropped the
lamp.
Alvarado continued:
Il have come to pay my debt"
Good" thought Pierre, 1T will en-
able me to buy some clothes so l can
see her again."
Alvarado continued: Il have made
my fortune, l bring you our accounts
as we are partners. Aside from my
personal property which l deduct, we
possess between 80. OO0. 900 and 1OO,-
900 900 francs. The half of these have
been realized and $4,000, 900 francs are
at your disposal"
The the lamp fell.
Good" continued Alvarado, you
are content. 1t is natural. That en-
courages me to demand something of
you. l prefer that the money remain
in my family and my family is COM
posed of my sister and my niece"
Disappointment. Pierre had a vision
of his magnificent Gillian and re-
NAMED silent.
Il wish that you marry my niece.
You know her already. She is named
Anita Pena."
Pierre threw himself upon the cow
boy and covered his white head with
kisses, while he sobbed for happi-
ness.
And this" concluded Landa, SIS
what it is to give 1000 francs to a
Chilean who seeks his fortune"
Il wish l could find one like him
to stake" groaned Langrume.
A beggar passed and asked aim, in
a piteous voice. Langrume turned
away. why do not the police arrest
these vagabonds?" he growled.

him money" said Landa.

pocket.

Peru, Chile, and Mexico. The scene
nearly turned the head Of Pierre
when he entered.
But the grace and beauty of all the
other women was dimmed in his eyes
when he perceived a young Gillian on
the arm of a young and handsome
Spaniard. With a skin as clear as a
blondes out Of a wonderful smooth
ness, with eyes that absorbed the light
and emitted it again in dazzling cleo
trio rays; with a divine mouth as in
nocent as voluptuous; with graceful
rhythmic walk, and the sweep of her
u%ndulating curves she seemed to pos
sess the uuintessence Of the charms
and seductions of twenty exquisite
women.
Pierre was overcome with the des-
pair that follows too violent admira-
ton. The love Of such a creature
seemed to him something un~attainable,
! thing to which a man could aspire
only by genlous heroism or some
other great quality. During the en-
tire evening each time she passed near
the place where he sat Watching her
iancing or walking, a wave of pas
alteration and sadness surged
his being.
He saw her again. He was intro
duced to her and N tire to her
mother. During the winter he loved
her silently and without the least
,ope. What right had he to covst such
! love. hundred men, the elite Of

You are envious," answered Landa.
"Don't vo, know that JayaIle oves his
fortune and his wife to a good specu-
lation. 1t all came from an invest
ment of exactly 1000 francs"
Fifteen years ago our friend Pierre
Lavalle was a lucky young fellow Of
20 years. He was rich, good-looking,
robust in health, and of a nature to
avail himself of his advantages. His
father sent him around the world. In
Chile he had as a guide a most intel
ligent man of excellent family and
between them a friendship arose. The
guide pretended to have discovered rich
veins of silver in the mountains, but
he feared to be forestalled and dared
trust no one. At the moment of their
separation Pierre offered him a thou
sand francs. Jose Alvarado thanked
him with a ~dignitied air and said:
In ten years l shall be rich and
you are my partner

RECEIVED A CHILL.

A correspondent of the Globe-Demo-
crat, writing from WASHINGTON, says a
member of congress entered the Office
Of the commissioner of p,nsions this
week with the remark, Il an hot" And
then he proceeded to blast the bureau

the town where he lives has not been
able to get a pension granted. 81

woman is the widow of the soldier and
she ought to have the pension. The
man and the commissioner went owe
them. They showed that the woman
had some years ago applied as the
widow of another John Smith in the
same regiment. Agents of the bureau
had investigated and had found that
particular John Smith was living, that
he was drawing his own pension, and
that he had never been the husband Of
the woman. The matter rested. Re
Gently the woman put in a claim alleg-
ing that her deceased husband was a
John Smith in another company, and
she presented a lot of affidavits show
ing there had been such a man in the
service, and that her neighbors knew
her as the widow of a soldier of that
rame. Again the agents went over the
ground and found the real widow Of
this same John Smith living in another
state and drawing a pension. The con
gresham looked through the papers
carefully, and as he folded them up he
said, Tn getting cold" Il beg your
pardon" said the commissioner: "Ill
have the window closed" 81 didn't
mean cold in that way" said the con-
gresham. And he took his departure.
The thirty odd years that have lapsed
since the war and the liberality of the
pension laws are too much for weak
human nature in some cases. They en-

enough to ignore all merits on the part
OF other foreigners as well as OF the
government and the people at large.

WAHPETON TRAGEDY
Wahpeton Man Kills Girl Who Had
Tired of Him, and Then
Himself.

Fisher Shot Himself Twice Blowing

Off.

Wahpeton, Aug. 19.-Claus Fisher,
aged 80, Saturday shot and killed An
ME Heinrichs, aged II, at the home
Of Diedrich Deeder, a few miles south
of Wahpeton.
Fisher then put the barrel of the
shotgun with which he had commit
ted the crime into his mouth and
fired, blowing off his right cheek.
He then deliberately reloaded the
weapon and again placing the muzzle
in his mouth, fired again, this time
blowing the entire top of his head off.
The couple had been lovers, but the
girl tired of Fisher and this is said to
have caused the crime.
They came from the same place in
Germany. On her arrival IN this
country last spring she worked as a
domestic at the home Of Sheriff Moody
OF this city.
Two weeks ago she went to work for
her uncle, Diedrich Deeder, at WHICH
place Fisher was employed. His at
tentions grew tiresome to her and She
refused to keep the engagement. He
shot her dead while washing dishes.

Driving Across the State.

Syracuse, N. Y. Evening Telegram:
Mrs. Lyman r. Casey OF New York,
wife OF former United States Senator
Casey of North Dakota, with Mrs.
Marvin c. Stone of New York, was at
the Yates hotel last night, having
stopped here over night on driving
tour through the state.
The ladies have taken this extra
ordinary and unique way for recrea'
tion and enjoyment. They left New
York on July II. and have been on
the road every day since. They
travel in double seated victoria
drawn by a pair Of strong but hand
some looking sorrel horses, and driven
by colored coachman.
In speaking with a Telegram re-
porter before their departure for the
west this morning the ladies stated
that they had gained thorough en-
joyment from their trip. 1t would
seem long and tiresome journey, but
they say that at no time since they
left New York have they felt the
least bit fatigued.
The most pleasant part OF their
journey was between New York and
Albany. They drove along the Hud-
son. They said it was like ride
through long shaded park. Be
tween Albany and Syracuse the ride
was not SO pleasant, as bad roads were
encountered and the scenery is not as
beautiful. They expect to find better
roads between Syracuse and Buffalo.
The only object of tie trip, Mrs.
Casey said was to get a good view OF
the state. No attempt was made at
record breaking, but they have aver
ahed thirty-tive miles day since they
left New York. Some day they made
more than fifty miles. Most Of their
travelling has been done in the morn
ing, as they find it much cooler. They
are usually on the road until noon,
when they rest until the next day.
All during their journey no acci-
dents have been met with, and the
same horses and carriage have been
used in the entire trip. Between
here and Buffalo they will stop several
days at Albion and then continue to
the former city, where they expect to
spend some time sight seeing at the
Pan-American.

Back From Buffalo.

1t. Gov. Bartlett has returned from
Buffalo, n. Y, for a short time to re-

coast where he goes soon. He is in

the state exhibit Of North Dakota at
Buffalo is attracting the attention Of
a number of young men who have
come to the state to remain. The
fresh air here is so much better than
the hot damp atmosphere of the east
that it is a relief to get back to the
state again and that to appreciate the
difference, one has only to get away
for time. The great crowd at the
Pan-American begins IN September he
thinks.

the rest Of the country IS dried up,
