OYSTER BAY, Sept, L. All lean
say is that have mad q very pleasant
visit to President Roosevelt and that
he and j are in entire accord"
This was the extent of the stnforma7
tlon which Governor Frank w. SHtgzz
gins. Of New York, wished printed re-
gardlng his conference with President
Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill yesterday:
President Roosevelt has indicated that
he has nothing whatever to communi+
cate regarding the conference. When
asked the subject Of the conference
the governor said:
sNaturaily the President AMI :
talked over New York State politics
and discussed the candidates"
The governor was asked as to the
correctness of the statement in the
morning papers that ne had a maiorz
tLy Of the delegates to the Republican
state convention His reply was: {
n have no doubt that have some
gocd friend who has said that have
majority of the delegates. But YOU
know that never advertise"
"Haye you given the President any
assurances regarding the action Of the
state con ,cntton?"
I'm afraid you will have to find out
from the President what assurances
i gave him."
When Governor Higgins reached
oyster Bay he was asked the direct
question If he would be candidate
Tor re-alection. He replied the' he
had absolutely nothing to say on that
subject. He remarked also thai he
had nothing to add to the statement
regarding bossism enanating from him
last Ai.bt at Albany.
Ever since President Roosevelt took
up his residence at Sycamore. s'Il In
July I have heard frequent statements
in the newspapers that Govern1' tig-
gins was to conc 10 Oyster Bay for a
cunfere:. ce. The uniform answer to
these statements here has bee1 that
Roosevelt ought not to take hand in
the politics of his State and that moth
ing was known of the visit of the Gov
ernor. The announcement was made
| yesterday morning from the executive
offices that Governor Higgins would be
here. The statement was that he would
be luncheon guest of the President.
After Governor Higgins had depart
ed it was said at the executive offices
that there would be no statement
what ever from the President regard
ing the conference.

The hide Of the rhinoceros is SO tough
that leaden bullet will tiatten against

can annoy the rhinoceros and drive
him into furious temper, and in mis-
wild state he often covers himself with
mud to prevent the insects from sting

arrangement OF the horns, which are
not fastened to the skull, but held in
place simply by the hide.

CHAPTER XIII.

Lassoed on the Gale San Felipe Neri.
One afternoon, about the middle of
November, a gentleman issues from
the well-known Hotel Iturbe, in the
quaint City of Mexico, and saunters
along as though striving to kill time.
The man is plainly an American
there is something very familiar in
his walk, and when he turns his head
in front of a dry-goods emporium,
otherwise known as a merceria, to fol-
low with his eyes a handsome olive
skinned senorita who has just left her
carriage to shop. we recognize our
Dick Denver.
This of course means that the little
party of travellers have reached their
destination, since he would not be
here alone.
His manner is thoughtful, for Dick
whole power of Senior Lopez-which
is considerable il. Mexican circles, as
his family is an old one, once very
prominent-will be exerted to over
throw the hold Miss Pauline of New
York has upon the Ell Dorado Mine.
II it were in the hands of man.
the result would be different-he
could control matters by force; but a
young girl may be intimidated-Mex
can women are not in the habit of
meddling in politics or business, and
1t is not expected that because Miss
Westerly is an American girl, she will
defy for any great length of time the
powers that are arrayed against he-
Dick Denver knows how far wrong
is this supposition-he has made a
study of Pauline, and he finds her a
most remarkable girl in many respects
she is as daring as she is beauti-
full. as gentle in one way as she is
unyielding in another. When Senior
Lopez endeavors to force her to abdi-
cate and allow his side the control of
the great Fl Dorado Mine. he runs
against a rock that will not yield.

CHAPTER .xII.Acontlnued.

So they speed out into the October
night, and the messenger is left be-
hind-he has arrived just minute too
late-but then he is in the employ OF
the telegraph company, and it will be
to their profit in the end.
The journey is made without any
mishap, and reaching the city by the
sea, they find the good steamer await
ing them.
AS the steamer starts about down,
to take advantage of the flood-tide.
they go on board at once, and see that
their effects are safe.
The ladies go below-Dick hears
Pauline tell one of the officers that
if message comes for her to awaken
her at once. Colonel Bob knows moth
ing about this business, and as luck
will have it, he is the one whom the
messenger bringing the telegram stunt
bles against, after boarding La Gas
cogne.
"Mademoiselle Pauline Westerly"
reads the man, from the his envelope.
"The lady has retired" remarks
Colonel Bob, indifferently, thinking it
some shopping package that has come
at the last hour, sent by express.
who will receive this?" asks the
French messenger.
yours truly There, sign. What
charges?"
Sixteen francs, eight centimes."
Great Scott! Well, here you are,
minion of extortion. Avaunt!" and
Colonel Bob slaps the telegram into
his pocket, resumes his walk and his
cigar, changes his coat in the morn
ing for a pea-jacket, better adapted to
the cool, frosty air on the sea, and of
course, man-like, entirely forgets that
the one discarded contains a message
that cost him more than sixteen
francs.
So wags the world-each message
that does not come may have found
repository in some forgetful mans
pocket, but it certainly has hating
place somewhere.

"The one Bob seems so pleased
with? Well. you see, Miss Dora, here's
quite a little romance that brings
them together She's the daughter of
rich Philadelphia dry-goods mer-
chant. Bob had the pleasure of saw
no doubt she appreciates it, judging
from the way in which she looks at
him"
Dick rubs it in rather severely, for
he has no sympathy for the fiirt who
can hurt the honest feelings of man
she loves, and who is devoted to her.
Dora gulps down a lump that rises
in her throat and manages to restrain
her tears.
Would you mind asking Colonel
Bob to come here, Mr.. Denver-on
very particular BUSINESS
That is frank enough, and Dick
obeys, taking his companions place
beside the young lady. He sees Dora
draw the Sheriff of Secora County
aside, and knows peace is soon ar
ranged.
Dora f1irts no more, since the cure
has been radical-the flirt who once
feels the pangs of jealousy realizes
what she has been inflicting on others.
So, il doctor had to take his own
pills he would make them less drastic.
After that the eccentric little profess
sor is given the cold shoulder, and has
to herd by himself. He scowls at the
colonel across the dining-table, and
treats him with freezing contempt, to
all of which the other pays not the
slightest attention. Perhaps the time
may come when Professor John may
force himself upon the notice of his
rival, since he, by the peculiar laws OF
nature that cause birds of feather
to flock together, is drawn to make
friends with the Mexican hidalgo, and
the scowling Barcelona, who seem to
have a grievance against the two
comrades.
This alliance adds one to the num-
Der against our friends, but they care
little about it. At present all is rosy
hued-love waves her soft pinions
above them-the very air seems to
breathe gentle music. keeping time to
the pulsations of the engine, or the
rolling of the waves parted by the
steamers bow. 1t comes in the warm

Colonel Bob does not hear Miss
Pauline in the morning inquire of the
officer if any message came, for the
simple reason that he does not hap
pen to be near at the time, and as no
subsequent allusion is made to her dis
appointment, the telegram from Mon
sieur lie Project lies deep in the re-
cesses of his coatpocket, forgotten.
Thus fate has a hand in the game,
and does not intend that important
disclosures shall be prematurely made.
Perhaps Colonel Bob may suddenly re-
member a certain fact under peculiar
conditions.
Senior Lopez, his blackeyed daugh-
ter. and Tordas Barcelona are also
passengers as far as New York
The gentlemen studiously avoid each
other. though Barcelona fumes secret
ly every time one of the comrades
casts an eye upon him, as he imagines
they laugh at his disfigured nose, and
the eye that still shows the effect of
having lighted cigar thrust into it
very tender affairs these optics of ours
appear to be, and they cannot be
roughly treated to fire with impunity.
They have a pleasant voyage; the
weather is delightful, much more so
than is usual about the first of No
vember, when gales may be looked for
and fog-banks to detain travellers
The professor is on board; with that
wonderful London assurance that has
distinguished him in times past he
pursues his game-Dora, the fair one
who has charmed him.
Colonel Bob looks on, amused. This
little man of science arouses strange
feelings within him. He knows Dora
is only having sport with the learned
professor, but it is a serious business
with the latter, who looks at time as
though he would fight all creation fol
her sake.
She amuses herself with his oddi
ties. forgetting that in thus playing
with human passions, she may be
handling edge tools that cut keenly, nc
matter IL they are small.
The New Mexican sheriff is no fool
and he brings Dora to her senses by
flirting with a young woman on board
quite a fne-looking girl, who seems
to be a stranger to Dora. When she
can stand it no longer she leaves the
professor talking to the air about the
wonderful bugs and insects he expects
to discover around the giant volcanoes
of the valley of Mexico, Ixtaccihuatl
and Popocatepetl, and glides to Dicks
side.
who is that girl7" she asks, almost
choking.

All women work; some In their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread. .
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors OF all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day. to sleep we'll at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she Is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement Of the female Or
ganism.

suffering; she writes:

Had No Great Career Because She
Was Devoted to Home.
Mrs. Julia Houston West, a notable
church and oratorio singer in Boston,
a generation ago, died in the Brattle-
bpro retreat, at the age of 70. She
was long the soprano Of the new OLD
South, and her voice, brilliant and
powerful, would have given her great
career, had she not been devoted to a
home life. Her especial public dis
tinction was the singing of 'The Star
Spangled Banner" at the peace jubi-
lee in Boston in 1869, where Patrick
Sarsfield Gilmore had gathered his
chorus of 10000, his many bands and
orchestral force and against that back
ground and an organ added, with bells,
cannon and other noises to assist,
Julia Houston pitted her superb voice
and made veritable sensation. She
married James F. West, of Haverhill,
twenty-five years ago, and afterward
occasionally sang in oratorios and con-
certs. Shortly after Mr.. Vests death,
in 1908, she became insane, but her
