American. With the agility Of youth,
he seized one of the ropes and. drawing
his revolver, he shouted: my daugh-
ter" and instantly fred lie Roy seized
knife to cut the rope, but the girl
caught his arm. She realized that the
balloon was already so high in the air
that the fall would kill her father
Howard grasped the situation and
with heroic generosity he turned to
lie Roy and commanded him to let the
airship descend. Il will doubtless lose
my life," he said, "but cannot consent
to be responsible for the death of
Alma's father. Don Antonio was still
clinging to the rope and rapidly sending
pistol balls into the car. The balloon
slowly descended until the feet of the
enraged father were almost upon the
earth. Howard bent over the side of
the car, and after cutting the rope he
waved his hat at the old don, and
shouted: II will be good to Alma, and
when you wish it We will come to see
you" The airship, relieved of the
weight of the defeated aud furious old
man, shot upwards again. The lovers
could only hear howls Of rage mingled
with oaths, and they were glad to be
beyond the reach Of the desperate man
who was clenching his fists and shak-
ing his pistol towards them. Some
hours afterward the balloon descended
near the little city of Del Rio, in Texas,
and the lovers took the evening train
for San Antonio, where they soon
found priest, who made them happy.

How to Test Bank Notes.

There are many simple tests for ficti.
tious bank notes. The most difficult
feature to initiate in our somewhat
cumbersome paper money is the water.
mark, but this can only be Initiated
properly by placing the forged bank
note under a heavy die. Forgeries OF
this kind are detected by damping the
note with sponge. III the note Is a
genuine one the watermark will then
stand out plainly, If a ''dufrer" It will

Since the world began lovers have
always ben equal to the task Of unit
ing their destinies and fortunes in spite
of opposing parents and guardians
They have eloped on horseback, es-
capped the vengeance of irate fathers by
sailing across stormy waters, and they
have used special railroad trains to put
themselves beyond the reach Of angry
pursuing parties, but In Mexico for the
first time heroic young man and
brave girl used balloon to elope. Ran
dali Howard, wealthy young man,
whose home is in Marion County, Mo-,
went to Southern Texas about year
ago to get the benefit of the salubrious
climate Of the valley of the Rio Grande.
He divided his time between Eagle
Pass and Del Rio, frequently making
excursions into old Mexico. He seemed
to be well supplied with money, and
being of a Jolly, liberal disposition he
soon became well known and popular
with the best classes of people, both in
Texas and Mexico. He WAS fond of
hunting, and nothing pleased him bet
ter than to collect crowd Of young
people and make trip to the Santa
Rosa Mountains, where game Is abun-
dant and the finest fish In the world
are easily caught In the clear waters of
the numerous beautiful streams. Dur
ing one of these pleasure excursions
young Howard made the acquaintance
Of Don Antonio Sanchez, wealthy
ranchman, and was invited to visit his
hacienda. Howard accepted the invita-
ton, and he was warmly welcomed by
the old don's wife and beautiful daugh-
ter, who had just returned from a con-
vent school in the City of Mexico.
Not many little walks had been taken
through the orange groves of the old
hacienda, where the frost never CLEANS
and the flowers bloom forever, before
the young Missourian became satisfied
that the beautiful Spanish girl recipro-
Gated his affection for her. He aban-
doned his Texas friends and moved his
effects to the little village not far from
Don Antonio's ranch. Howard had
been warned by his sweetheart that
her fathers remarkable politeness and
apparent warm friendship for his guest
could not me relied upon to withstand
the test Of parting with his daughter.
He likes you very well, Senior How
ard" the young girl would say, "but
he is the son of one of the veterans that
Santa Anna led into Texas, and it is
hardly probable that he will ever per-
NIT me to marry an American" The ar
dent lover soon discovered that the
young girl was well informed. One day
when the old don was gradually falling
into one of his most hospltable and af-
fect' onate moods over a bottle of wine
the young man boldly approached the
subject. The glass dropped from the
old don's trembling hand and his eyes
flashed with rage. The hilarious, anna
BILE host of the previous moment was
instantly transformed into furious
human tiger. "Whatw he roared. "My
daughter marry Texas American?
Never! Such audacity! invite you to
my hacienda and you take advantage
of my hospitality to steal the affections
of my innocent child" AS Howard pru-
IDENTIFY began to rise to his feet, Don
Antonio began TO shout orders to his
poems. To one he said: Bring me my
pistols" 10 another. Lock up my
daughter" and to another. Call the
