She had often noticed him in the
ring, as with smiling lips he waited
for the furious attacks of the mad
dened bull. At first his courage in
the face of danger, his proud defiance,
his dark, handsome face and graceful
carriage won her admiration, and later
this admiration, aided by romantic
disposition, ripened into love. AS to
him, though he admired her magical
beauty and her daintiness Of form, he
was not blinded to the distance which
separated him, Jose Narvezzo, the
matador, and she Fontella Adroverso,
the governors daughter. Still, when
he knew that her dark eyes rested
upon him, his form Strengthened, his
lips curled in that disdainful smile of
bravery which made him the favorite
of the ring, and his sword would bury
itself with unerring aim into the bulls
flesh.
When woman of Fontella's type
loves it is with passion which moth
ing can quench and no obstacle can
stop. How she managed to meet him
for the first time, how she drew him
on to her until his admiration of the
first days became the conquering pas
sion of his life, will never be known;
sufficient to say that before many
weeks Jose had forgotten the distance
which separated their two destinies
and he has asked Fontella to become
his wife.
She remained silent for some time
after he had spoken that avowal of
love for which she had waited, and
with her dark eyes fixed upon him
In searching gaze she seemed to try
to penetrate the very depths of his
soul. After awhile she said
"Are you sure it is me you love, not
my wealth, not my social position, not
the fact that am Fontella, the gov
ernor's daughter?"
A flash of anger glittered for an in
slant in the matador's eyes, but this
was soon softened by an expression
Of pain as he sadly replied:
"You have the right to express that
doubt, Fontella, for what am when
compared with you? What have be-
sides my courage to offer you? l was
mad, pardon my folly, for a passion
stronger than my reason forced me to
speak. Nothing could say could
prove the sincerity of my sentiments,
and rather than to have them doubted
/ prefer to leave YOU"
He moved a step away as though to
leave her, but she extended her hand
and with softening in her naughty
voice, said:
"Jose, believe you"
He returned to her, his eyes burning
with passion; he seized her hands and
in a pressure which was almost cruel
he cried:
"You believe my sentiments, but do
you return them? Do you love me as
I do your"
81 do"
"Then you shall be mine, Fontella;
the social barriers which separate us
can surely be surmounted. Love will
find the way"
Love is powerful, but the governor
of this province is more So" she re-
marked, "and my father will never
consent to our union. Still l have a

Women in SeIf-Defense.

In his volume, 1.-THE Kiss and It's
History" DR.. Christopher Nyrop OF
the University of Copenhagen relates
that in England in 1887 Thomas Save
land brought an action against Miss
Caroline Newton, who had bitten =

tried to kiss her by way of Joke.
The defendant was acquitted, and the
Judge laid it down that when a nah

is fully entitled to bite his nose if she

How dark this world would be-"
One of the ocean dangers that captains
fear almost more than anything else is the,
danger OF coming in contact with "dere-
Ilct, as ship abandoned at sea is called.
There are now supposed to be about thirty
OF such vessels floating about at the will Of
the currents in the Atlantic waters. Thev
are without pilot, have neither crew nor
rudder, are bound nowhere and carry no
cargo to any port. One of them, which
has a cargo of mahogany on board, and is
level with the waters edge, has been drift
ing about since March. 1891.
The perils of collision at sea have been
reduced since the steamship companies
adopted what is known as the lane routes.
Now the route "a steamer follows after
leaving New York is fifty miles awav from
the route taken by steamers bound west.
One steamer, therefore, is little likely to
meet another and come into collision with
her But these abandoned ships, not being
under control, and CARRYING no lights. are a
continual source of danger The Gulf
Stream carries them northward and then
eastward, and the captains of incoming
ships have warned the Government IF
their whereabouts. One of them has heen

TO EAST SIDE. !.
Latest Plan Of City Engineer
to Reach College Hill.

City Engineer Clapp has prepared~p ans
for a visduct that will give an easy and
desired grade 10 Benefit street II is
TO start on weybosset bridge. south side
OF Market Square and about IS feet from
the foot Of College street.
II would then extend south over the
open space between Dyer street and
South Water street, gradually rising and
curving at Crawford street. with a radius
As outlined in the plan II would then
proceed straight up the hill to Benefit
street, opening almost directly upon
Benevolent street.
There would of course be no land dam
age because OF the bridge. and not until
the turp over Crawford street is reached
would II be necessary to affect the prop
erty of any private individual The
building on the north side of Crawford
street now occupied by Peck g. Black,
Marks's lodging house, etc, would have
TO be removed, and those on the north
east corner pow occupied by drug store
and a restaurant would have TO be taken
also.
The erection OF the viaduct would also
provide for the widening OF Crawford
street which will be needed as an out
let for South Main street when the pres
ent widening OF the latter highway is
completed. Proceeding up over the hill
from South Main street the north side
OF the structure would pass UP the lane
just south of the Peoples Savings bank
but the brick building fronting on South
Main nearly opposite Crawford street
would have to come down. One house
on Benefit street would conclude the list
At Crawford street bridge the structure
would be 20 feet high; at South Water
street the average height would be rs feet,
and on South Main street 311s feet so
that a building might easily be placed
beneath IL on the latter street.
IL would be 30 feet In width giving ample
room for sidewalks. carriage way and car
tracks.
IL remains TO be seen what action may
be taken by the city council.

COMEDY OF
CATSK|LLS
FOR FAIR
Son-ln-LaW Played Detective
and Secured Divorce for
Ma.in-Law..

New York. June 4.--Thefe was a nice
little game OF hide and seek up In the
Catskin mountains last summer when
Mrs Isabelle Sutton. wife Of Eugene d.
Sutton. said 10 be "A man OF large means,
set her SON In law, William w. Bennett
Jr.. to keep a watch on her husbands
frivolities In the torrid summer solstice.
II was unfortunate for Mr.. sutton that
he was not acquainted with his son in
law. for Mrs. sutton and her husband
had been separated for some two years,
and it was in the interim that Bennett
married Sutton's daughter.
PLAYED PART OF DETECTIVE.
A little bird whispered to Mrs. sutton
last summer and the on-in-law was
sent 10 investigate and was introduced
to his father in law o. a man from down
town New York way. -
Lets have a drink" suggested Sutton
TO his unknown son-in-law.
Don't care II / do replied the SON
in-law.
Then they adjourned to the cafe. when
sutton volunteered the information TO
Bennett that there are lots OF pretty
girls up here
Bennett became interested and Sutton
took him into his confidence. Upon the
trial before Justice OGorman yesterday,
Bennett said he learned sufficient facts

her suit for divorce. He said he became
on exceedingly friendly terms with his
father in-law without disclosing his re-
lationship and shadowed him.
After listening TO the testimony, Jus

Pulled Elephants Tusk.

II think the most novel way ever saw
was the pulling OF an elephants tisk,
said travelling man at the Honing hotel
To the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune re-
porter.
'lt was three years ago this summer.
while i was in the City OF Mexico. Every
body that has ever been In Mexico has
heard OF the Orrin Brothers circus AZ
has the same deputation In that country
as Barnum has In this. One OF their at
fractions was a big elephant that was
known by every man. woman and child
in the city. as II had been with the
show for over 20 years. and had carried
most OF the people on his back. He was
bentle, and was as big a favorite as old
Jumbo.
"One day one OF the animal men re-
ported TO the Orrins that the big elephant
was acting strangely. A surgeon was
sent far, but ne could not discover what
was wrong The keeper the nextday re-
ported that the animal would not eat.
The surgeon was sent for again, and he
found that the elephants tusk was de-
caying at the root. Cocaine was injected
and other medicines applied TO ease the
pain. but the big fellow seemed TO suffer
moro each day. So IL was decided TO pull
the tusk Bow how 10 do II was another
thing. The surgeon. with his assistant,
however. decided on a plan. / was In
vited by the agent 10 witness the opera
tion.
THE big elephant was led into the mid
die OF the menagerie. where stakes had
been driven He was then chained TO the
stakes and pulled back on his hauches
His big trunk was strapped up over his
back. Animal keepers were stationed all
around armed with ooks 10 fight him IL
he became made during the operation.
The doctor then began to work. Almost
water bucket full OF cocaine was inject
ed into the gum and side Of the head
The doctor being satisfied that the big
fellow was dopy, took augur and bored
hole through the tusk near the gum
This took long time. but every now
and then more dope would be injected
After the hole was bored through the
tusk steel rod was showed through the
hole. To this strong rope was attached
The long rope was then covered with tar
and the rope was wound around the tusk
The rope was then run through a pulley
attached to several stakes A team OF
four horses was In readiness and the
rope was attached to the traces. When
everything was secure the horses were
whipped up. 1t was a long, hard pull,
but out came the big tusk The monster
elephant. however. fought and tried to get
away. but he was chained so well that he
was powerless After the tusk came out
the big fellow was released and he went
back TO hids quarters, evidently more sat
isted than any one with the operation
