Along the Rio Grande a thousand
tales of Mexico are told, but no TO.
nance can equal the adventures of q
Texas youth who has been brought
back to his home from the hospital at
Monterey. During his visit to the
southern republic he fell under the
spell Of a fair senorita, and afterwards
became the victim of her fury. That
he escaped with his life was due
largely to the devotion of Cherry Nell.
note, said to be one of the most beau
tiful girls in the world. She rescued
him from the deadly clutches of the
minotaur tree and nursed him back to
life and love.
When Arno T. Savry, a handsome
Texas youth of ample means, found
himself ready to accept an invitation
of friend to visit Mexico, he recalled
the stories of other gallant young
Texans who had gone down into the
land of the beautiful to find sweet
hearts-and return no more forever.
But l am not so soft as Others" he
said. This confident young man had a
sweetheart in a cottage under the
Lone Star, and he vowed over and
over that there was not girl, in all
Mexico with eyes so bright or face
so fair as his Texas beauty, nor any
who could make him forget for a mo-
ment little Fannie Frayne. He had
known Fanny all his life and loved
her when they were schoolmates, and
if there was girl in all the world
who could blot her name from his
heart she would have to possess SUI
pernatural powers.
That was about the way this self
reliant youth talked when he had his
foot in the stirrup and set out to visit

has just returned from Madrid and
Paris, where she created a sensation.
Her great beauty was recognized, and
she enjoyed the admiration of nobility
and royalty without a rival. 1t is
said that she refused dozens of counts,
dukes and lords, and even one prince
of, royal blood. Gen. Herara was her
grandfather He was the finest look
ing man in Santa Anas army. An
imitator of Murat, he always wore
uniform glittering with gold lace,
and plume that swept back over
the tail of his horse. His coat but
tons were gold, and the hilt of his
sword was decorated with diamonds.
1t was this dashing warrior with his
carbineers who turned back your In
diana regiment at Buena Vista. He
was slain in battle. His daughter, a
woman of great beauty, married Col
Mellnote, of Maximilian's army
Cherry, an only daughter, inherited
his fortune. There is no other like
her. She has yet to see the first
man who did not instantly fall in
love with her. You will see her to-
day."
When Cherry Mellnote swept into
the great hall of the hacienda gilt
tering with jewels, compelling adora-
ton in all eyes and scattering sun
shine and joy in all hearts, the lover
of Leona found himself rooted to one
position and gasping for breath. He
felt that they had hardly half de-
scribed the beauty and charms of the
young woman who was passing before
him.
Savry infatuated.
Scarcely a week had passed before
Arno found himself devoting all his
time to Cherry, to the utter neglect Of
Leona. Blinded by his infatuatiou, he
failed to see the look of burning
hatred and thirst for revenge in
Leona's sparkling eyes.
The devoted Mexican girl had loved
and trusted him. Now she thirsted
for his blood. One bright morning
there was a new look in the dark eyes
of the girl whose sorrow all had no.

da near Sabinas, in the state of Nueva
Leon, Republica de Mexico.
Friend of Banished Man.
During unhappy days for his coun-
try Diego had suffered exile. He had
spent five years in Texas. 1t was at
this period that Arno and the banished
Mexican became comrades and the
warmest of friends. After a long peri
cd of waiting the edict of Punishment
was annulled through the influence of
Diego's father-a rich and powerful
senator-and the happy young man
was invited to return to his home.
Aided by his friend Arno, Diego had
prospered in exile and he returned to
his fathers house not prodigal son,
but one upon whom fortune had show
cred favors.
Senator Montemoran had anticipat-
ed the coming of his sons friend and
he stood at the great front gate of the
hacienda to welcome him. Arno was
delighted with the warm reception ex-
tended by the fine looking old man.
ed, for he soon learned that his friend
was away from home. He had been
summoned in an affair of law as far
away as Chihuahua.
The daughters of the senator came
hurrying to welcome the young man,
of whom their brother had told them
SO much. Selma, Leona, and Mer-
cedes entered together with extended
hands. Three Graces" were the
words uppermost in the mind of the
astounded visitor. Never before had
he looked upon such charming young
girls.
The evening was spent walking
about the grounds of the hacienda
The young Texan found something to
admire and excite his curiosity at
every step.
Lovers Vows Broken.
When night came Savry was left
alone in his room. He found his
nerves shattered. Trembling, he
threw himself into great chair and
buried his face in his hands. He was
violently in love with Leons Monte
moran and his heart smote him. He
had lied and his solemn vows to Fan
ny Frayne no longer held him.
At last an evening came when he
went to his room so happy that he

swEARINGEN GOES FREE.
He Was Charged With Assaulting Boy
Named Raymond Chamberlain.

The case of the state against F. w
Swearingen, who was charged with
assaulting Raymond Chamberlain, who
it was claimed threw a stone which
struck Mr.. Swearingen while he was
driving his automobile on West sixth
avenue, was dismissed this morning
- Mr.. Swearingen and party were
riding in his automobile during. the
earlier part of the month when

Mr.. Swearingen gave chase to the
crowd of boys, capturing young Cham

claimed that he had been struck and

The members of the Topeka Auto

contained a number of members of the
association this morning who were
present to testify in behalf of the de-
PENDANT and as to the conduct of the
boys about the city as well as to the
fact that no great violence was done to
young Chamberlain.
In making his decision Judge Nc
Cabe said: There is no denying that

DO REST OF PAVING NOW
Other Streets Besides Kansas Avenue
That Require Attention.

An extension of the time limit of
their contract win be asked for by the
Parker Washington Paving company.
which is repavirg Kansas avenue. The
limit set in the contract will expire on
October 18th. The contract is not half
completed, 1t Will take until the first of
the month to finish the west half of
Kansas avenue with nine half blocks
on the east side still remaining I'M
paved.
The contract fixes a penalty of SO a
day In excess of the 18th of October.
The city council in every contract puts
in time limit with a penalty attached
but it has never yet made a pretense
of enforcing it though considerable
hurrah work is INDUCED in when the
contract is let about how strict the city
viii hold the contractor this time"
Judging therefore,, from past ex-
perienee the council will grant an ex-
tension.
1.-The paving company probably
would not have been able to finish
within the time limit even if they had
started earlier" said James McCabe,
city engineer. "They would have had
to wait on the gas company anyway"
ntracts for repaving other of the
worn out asphalted streets should be
made this fall, says McCabe. Never
again Will the city have an oppor-
tunity to get repaving done cheaper
than right now is his contention The
presence of the paving company here
with all of its tools and its asphalt
plant would result in an especially low
bid from the company now doing the
work here.
East Fifth street, parts of Quincy
street, East Second street and Jackson
street all need repaving and the peo-
pie ought to get busy on these streets;
even if the work can't be done this
fall they should make contracts so
that il may be done the first Of next
year" said McCabe.
THE Washington Paving
company has it's plant here and its
other paving material and could af-
ford to put in a pretty low bid. The
chances are that Topeka could get the
repaving done more cheaply now than
at any other time because all this cost
of shipping tools and machinery would
be cut out.
II doubt whether a brick paveme nt
can be laid on North Kansas avenue.
The street is pretty fat and in order to
get the fall the concrete would have to
be dug into if brick is used. It's a
pretty serious question to disturb the
concrete basis"
The brick paving contracts will not
be finished before the first of the year
and if bad weather sets in there is
some question If the last block will be
laid by that time. Property owners
along some of the streets which are to
be paved but which have not been
visited by the contractor vet are call
ing on Mayor Davis and urging him to
hurry W the contractors.
The extension of the paving on West
Tenth avenue will be completed by
Saturday evening This will give
straight pavement of any of the east
and west paved streets and will carry
the pavement to within three blocks
of the west city limits.

COMES To TOPEKA
Colorado University Will Play
Football Here.
To Meet Sons Of Ichabod on
October 90.
1T WILL COME HIGH.
One Of Two Star Games on
Blues Schedule.
Excursions VIII Be Run on All
Railroads.
7 WILL CONE HIGH.

The game which was scheduled for
October 20 between the University of
Colorado and Washburn college foot
ball teams and was to have been play
ed at Denver has been transferred to
Topeka
Manager Stahl and Coach Weede of
the Washburn team did not relish the
idea Of a long trip to Colorado just for
the purpose Of playing one game. The
trip to Colorado has always been a
hard one for teams of this locality as
the rarity OF the mountain atmosphere
always works against players unac-
custOmed to It. 1t IS for this reason
that the game was transferred to
Topeka.
The expense Of q game of this kind
IS a good deal for q college to under
take and 1t will be the most expensive
game that is to be played IN Topeka
this year. Manager Stahl and Coach
Weede did not believe that the college
could stand for the expense of this
game and in view of this they have
succeeded in getting Herman Crow OF
the Topeka baseball team and Roy
Johnston Of the passenger department
Of the Santa Fe to take charge of the
management Of the game. Mr. Stahl
and Coach Weede will however, stand
One-third of the expense of the game.
The interesting of Mr.. Grow and Mr..
Johnston in the ga me insures q good
nectton with the Topeka ball team has
had ample experience in affairs Of this
kind Mr.. Johnston Will arrange ex-
cursions into Topeka over the Santa
Fe and the Rock Island has already
arranged for an excursion from Man
haitian. The game will be widely ad-
vertised and it is expected that a large
crowd Of outside people will be here
for the game.
The Colorado game win be the great
est card on the Washburn schedule out
side of the game with Kansas uSlversl-
~. Colorado always has strong team
and this year promises to have one of
The most successful in the history of the
game. Last year they beat Washburn
80 to 5. T4-ey also heat Kansas by a
score Of 10 to O. Nearly all their last
years players are back.
Last year Colorado played Nebraska
at Lincoln An excursion was run from
Boulder to Lincoln over the Burlington
for this occasion and over seven hum
dred and fifty students accompanied the
team. 1t may be that a similar excur-
sion could be arranged for Topeka over
one OF the roads.
The game will probably be played on
Washburn field. The field at Washburn
is in good shape this fall and is one of
the best in the entire west. The grand
stands are fixed at advantageous places
to watch the game. The only drawback
to WaShburn is the miserable car ser
vice which Is always maintained to that
place. It has been suggested that on
this account the game be played II the
Western Association ball park where
the service is excellent It is thought
however that the game win be at Wash
burn.
The game will be one of the biggest
that has ever been played in Topeka
and the local men who are back of the
deal which will bring the Colorado team
to Topeka are certainly to be com
mended

the woman, had also disappeared. The
police learned that Morgan and the
woman had gone to Tacoma From
there the couple were traced to
