soRDER SMUGGLING PLOT.
Gigantic Frauds Unsarshsd in Arizons- Many
CastOms 0IIIesrs Arrested.

Washington, Aug. n. - Probably
the most important arrests ever made
in connection with the smuggling Of
Chinese across the Mexican border
into the United States were made
yesterday in Arizona, when William
A. Hoey, collector Of customs At
NogaIes; B. r. Jossey, an immigrant
inspector, and two Chinese we're taken
into custody by special agents Of the
treasury and secret service operatives.
Other arrests are expected to follow
within day or two. 1t is said that
with two OF three exceptions, the
whole customs and immigration
administrations at Nogales are in
yolved.
Some time ago an Official Of the
treasury department, having Kogales
as his headquarters, wrote TO the de-
partment that he had reason to be-
lieye that the official force at that
point was corrupt, and that Chinese,
in large numbers, were being smug-
gled across the border for a considera-
tion. A secret service operative was
sent there at once, and plans laid to
secure evidence against the persons
under suspicion.
Several Cinnamon we're furnished
with money and sent on to buy their
way through the official Gordon. This
was accomplished without difficulty,
the price demanded being from $50
to $500. The secret service men also
arranged with one or two employees,
whose honesty had been tested, tc

money being received from the China.

combination so that they might gel

to, and considerable sums Of money
were handed over in the presence
and full hearing OF secret seryict

Several Cinnamon were sent through
with the requisite "a" mark on thei
certificates made by one Of the secre
service men. The utmost care ant
secrecy was maintained from the frs
to secure positive proof against eacl
man under suspicion.

bought their way into the Unite'
States through the alleged connivanc
of the Nogales officials is believed +
have been large.

Grange. belonged to Julia; and fully half
OF the years household expenses were de-
frayed by her. Our practice, which he
story to tell my remarkable share In Its
events Martin, or Doctor Martin, | was
called throughout Guernsey. My father
was DR.. Dobree. He belonged to one OF
the oldest families in the island, but our
branch Of It had been growing poorer In
stead Of richer during the last three or
four generations. We had been gravi-
tatlng steadily downwards.
My father lived ostensihly by his pro-
fession, but actually upon the income of
my cousin, Julia Dobree, who had been
his ward from her childhood. The house
we dwelt In, pleasant one In the
and shared between us, was not a
large one, though for Its extent 1t was
lucrative enough. But there always Is
an immense number OF medical men in
Guernsey In proportion to Its population,
and the island Is healthy. There was
small chance for any Of us to make a
fortune.
My engagement to Julia came about SO
easily and naturally that | was perfect
ly contented with 1t. We had been en-
gagged since Christmas, aud were to be
married in the early summer. We were
to set up housekeeping for ourselves; that
was point Julia was bent upon. A
suitable house had fallen vacant In one
of the higher streets OF st. Peter-port,
which commanded a noble view Of the
sea and the surrounding islands. We had

an who had met with the accident.
"TardIf, who is this person that Is
hurtT" asked, "and whereabout did she
fallT
"She fell down yonder," he answered,
with an odd Quayer In his voice. as he
pointed to a rough and rather high por-
tion Of the cliff running inland; "the
stones rolled from under her feet So" he
added, crushing down q quantity Of the
loose gravel with his foot, "and she slip

Tardif's mother came to us as we en-
tered the house. She beckoned me to
follow her Into an inner room. 1t was
small, with a ceiling so low, Il seemed
to rest upon the four posts Of the bed

little dainty luxuries about 1t, with which

But when my eye fell upon the face

voluntarily, only just controlling an ex-
clamatIon of surprise. There was abso-
lutely nothing In the surroundings to
mark her as lady, yet felt In mo-
ment that she was one There lay deli
cate refined face, white as the linen, with
beautiful lips almost as white; and q
mass Of light, shining silky hair tossed
about the pillow; and large dark gray
eyes gazing at me bcseechingly, with an
expression that made my heart leap as II
had never leapt before.
That was what l saw, and could not
forbear seeing. tried to close my eyes
to the pathetic beauty OF the face before
me; but 1t was altogether in vain, II
had seen her before, or II | had been
prepared to see any one like her, | might
have succeeded but was completely
thrown of my guard. There the charm
ing face lay; the eyes cleaning, the white
forehead tinted. and the delicate mouth
contracting with pain; the bright silky
curls tossed about In confusion. | see II
