A Contradiction.

The report published at first in a
Washington paper and reproduced in the
Gazette to the effect that locomotive
backed into an electric train on the Long
Bridge Friday, was a freak of magma
ton on the part of some enterprising re-
porter, according TO statements of the
railway officials, who emphatically assert
that no such thing occurred. The
report that the conductor had beer
taken to the Emergency Hospital with
broken arm was also a canard, as he Il

Noiselessly the tent flap swayed, as II
moved by a gentle breeze. The mans
back was turned. He was too intent
on the brazler to see slight figure
which slipped through the aperture.
It was Ysabel, his wife,
The girls eyes dllated with horror
as she glanced from the bound lieuten-
ant to the deadly preparations Of his
enemy. Then with a little movement
she snatched the pistol which lay on
the table. At the sound the man ut
the brazler turned and found himself
looking into the barrel held In her
steady hands. He was coward, and
he quaiied before her.
"Take those ropes on" she said i'm
periOusly In her musical Spanish,
pointing TO the lleutenants bonds. III
you do not will shoot you"
There was tremor in her voice, but
her eyes were unflinchlng.
The lieutenant watched her, fasclnat-
ed. Her husband, sullenly accepting
defeat, began to unite the knots At
length the captive was released and
the two stood silently before her. Both
seemed overawed by the beauty and
fearlessness of the woman.
Still pointing with her pistol, she
cried:
"Now, go-go go, Luigi, and never
come back again" Without word
the desperate obeyed.
When the tent flap fell behind him
the pistol dropped from her trembling
fingers and she leaned against the table
az II for support.
"Was 1t wrong to let him go2' she
said appealingly. you would have
killed him If he had stayed, and l
could not have stood that. Loved
him-once" There was sob In her
throat. "Now he will never dare to
come back again. shall be free from
him. You will let him go for my
sake2"
As the lieutenant glanced from the
irons from which she had saved him
to her pleading face he could not but
consent. Yet, as she, too, disappeared
behind the coffee bushes, he heard her
choking sobs.
