Nashville, Tenn.-SOme time during
the coming winter there will be SOL
emnized in this city marriage that
will mark the climax to one of the pref
test romances this land Of romances
has known in many year.
1t will be a union of the north and
south of that north represented
by the frozen ice fields surrounding the
north pole, and of this sunny southland.
. Anthony Fiala, the hero of the Ziegler
expedition in search Of the pole, is the
hero of this romance, and Miss Claire
Puryear, a young lady prominent in
Nashville society, is the heroine, and
the story of their, courtship is an inter-
esting one.

as long engagements go, and even a
longer wooing, says special writer to
the New York World. TWAS eight years

was a member of gallant troop G, of
Brooklyn, then. He had gone as part
of the escort of the governor of New
York to the exposition at Nashville. On
New York day, just by chance, he was
introduced to Miss Puryear, guest at
the governors reception.
OF course the trooper did just what
he ought to have done-he fell in love
with her. They corresponded after he
left Nashville for good, but that was
all. Chance took young Fiala back
again to Tennessee and he made bold
to say what his heart had hidden him.

Castro has really gone to work to

ported THAT he intends to make tour

pose of arousing them in opposition to

chimerical dream on the part of this
adventurer, but the United States
