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 tavorite

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 a 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

The purchasers are old hardware men and are recently from Astoria, Oregon. They have been in Skagway for nearly month sizing up the situation and have decided that it is a good point to which to tie.

 The Anderson hardware business has been one of the features of Skagway's life and growth. 10 has been a popular store from the beginning, and the new owners of the concern, which will con- tinue to occupy the Anderson building, will keep up the popularity Of the es- tabliShment.
