Of an ancient song.
He was the picture Of despair. His man

his surroundings. but he took his incarcer-

to be released.

He wore his gloves, dun gray ones. in the

against him and heaved sigh when told
that 1t was only disturbing the peace.

impostor.i but We shall see."
He stated that he was graduate of
Baliol College, Oxford. and that he was
the scion Of one of the proudest families
Of England. but refused to state the family
name.
MY marriage displeased the Cochranes -
said he, "but what do 1 care? am salts

married. 1t was Mrs. Elliott's. She intro

down here from Kansas City to catch me-"
AT least it appears that way to me now
since the thing Is all over and they are
making such a hubbub over It."
He stated that he was worth millions, or

and the blockading Powers. He said
L cannot grasp the news from Washing

Will be made a pretext for a world war.
L have answered. however. the demand
for preferential treatment as follows:
The Venezuelan Government desires
equal treatment for every creditor nation,

The French claim, amounting to 1000, 600
francs 1sO0. 900, dates from the time of Guz-
man Blanco as President, who annulled the
Maracaibo Railway concession granted to
NJ. Fabiani, French citizen. After an
amicable discussion the matter was referred
to the Swiss Republic. which. as arbitrator,
awarded damages in the sum of 1900, 900
francs.
LAS far as I can see this claim is abso-
lute,y perfect, yet the blockading Powers
seem to desire to invalidate it. This is a
strange procedure. indeed. when you recall
that the French. Belgian and Spanish claims
already have that solemn sanction which
the blockading Powers pretend to be de-
sirous that their own should receive

"A string was tied about the dead mans
neck, so that when it was pulled an af-

cattle to Maxine, your hacienda to Maria
and your coffee to Jose?
In answer to each of these questions the
string was pulled and an affirmative nod
was given. Then came the bequest to the
notary, when the person holding the string
forgot to pull 1t. Oh said the notary,
threatening to tear up the paper, the string
must be pulled for everybody or there will
