Soon the lights of the settlement
struggled into view, and, brighter than
the others, long hospitable rays shot
from the tavern close to the waters
side. Here the Spaniard moored his
boat and stepped ashore. But he was
in the mood neither for drink nor
cards, still less for song and laughter.
Since the tavern laggard could not be
stranger to these, he would not go
there tonight.
His thoughts were with the maiden
he had left behind in the forest; with
her whose conquest was not to be easy.
Passion and threatened pride consumed

when it was suddenly burst open from
within. At the threshold stood Gerald
Creighton, his handsome face deformed
with anger and ablaze with wine. With
collar torn, and coat awry, as If in a
struggle, he stood half defiant, half
afraid. For back near the plastered
wall, where sputtering candles flecked
the gloom, stood the small, crooked fig

eyes cleaned through red lids, his

The noise from within was fainter
now, and for moment the two stood
silent in the shadowy night alone,
save for the watchful presence of Con-

Then the octoroon spoke, low, with
the sibilant softness of the south:
"Please hurry home now, Mr.. Gerald,

One Way Round.
An old man who sells produce in the
towns near Lowell, Mass, has his
! share of the best kind of wit-the un-
expected. Not long ago he delivered
a pair of dressed chickens to one of
( his customers. She was in the kitch-
en- when he brought them in, and,
woman-like, shivered little when she
saw the headless fowls.
II should think you'd simply hate
to cut of the heads of those innocent
chickens!' she exclaimed, inyolun-
! tarily.
Il do,' replied the old man, ''and so
I never do it. I manage to get around

brows sarcastically. Then, dropping
the oars, and bending toward her:
"Now, listen to me-" he said, II, on
the other hand, declare that it is my sole

His voice, soft in time with the
melody of waves against the idle oar
his face with it's southern beauty, lent
dignity to the words which, from a
less romantic cavalier, Lavender would
have scOrned as mere fustian.
But there was magic in the time and
place, witchery in the hour which
subdued the girls levity, and awak-

sentiment was not for the man be-

farther from him. Her eyes had g
soft charm, her voice tender cadence,
but the softness, the tenderness which
his words had awakened, were for an

'You speak prettily, senor," she said,

CONTESTS CAMPAIGN
 OPENED LAST NI6HI
The Standard Bearer Addressed a
 Small Crowd at Tucson.

Tucson, Sept 24.-( Special. )-Chas. F. AinswOrth of Phoenix opened the statehood campaign of the joint state hood party in an atmosphere that was chillier than extreme winter. NOtwith standing the fact that the Tucson band gave a free open air concert in front of the opera house before the meeting there were but 137 people present when Candidate Ainsworth fired the opening gun for the statehoodists.
 It was a pitiful sight in view of the extravagant plans they had been mak- ing. The standard bearer was greatly disappointed at the crowd. The ap- plause during the evening was led by some colored patriots who miscued once when they applauded the name of Senator FOraker.
 Judge AinswOrth made a lamentably weak explanation of his being a cor poration attorney. He said that he had appeared for corporations to get them out of difficulties and to keep them from getting into trouble. It was thus that he represented the Phoenix Water company and the canal companies in the Salt River valley. He admitted taking corporation dollars for his ser vices but said he held different views personally.
 He told what he did in Washington; i; how he conferred with 'Uncle Joe" Cannon, Representative Hamilton, Sen ator Beveridge; how he advised them how he tackled on amendments to the statehood bill. He told of his confer ence with the president; what the pres ident told about the hopelessness of anything but jointure for Arizona. He made the astounding statement that President Roosevelt is better qualified to judge whether Arizona should have jointure than the people of Arizona themselves.
 Ainsworth's speech was characterized by absence of rational arguments. He referred continually to corporations, made extravagant statements about them, but cited no proof. His speech was disappointing to the jointists here | It is a conservative estimate that he will poll less than 100 votes in this county.

New York, Sept. 24.-Under arrest by New York detectives, Paul O. Stems land, former president of the Milwau- kee Avenue State bank of Chicago, who stands indicted for heavy embez- clements from that institution, arrived in New York tonight. He was taken from the steamer Prinz Albert on which he came from Morocco, to which country he fled after wrecking the bank, and according to his son, Theo- dore Stensland, he will plead guilty to several of the charges brought against him.
 Stensland has made a complete con fession, according to United States At torney olsen of Chicago. who went to Tangier. Morocco, to take the former bank official into custody, in which confession he duplicates other promi- nent Chicago men. Olsen declines to name these men. The younger Stems land, who gave out the official state ment for his father declared that the latter had made no signed confession but that he had admitted committing certain offenses against the federal statute and the Illinois laws. To some of the indictments for embezzlement 1 his father would plead guilty, he said. and in the case of the others he would turn state $ evidence ana 1mpilcaIe all others who should be indicted in con- nection with the failure of the bank. Stensland made the further state ment, according to the son, that if the shortage in the bank was over S400.OOO the money in excess of that amount had been taken by Henry w Herring, the former cashier of the bank, who
 was jointly indicted with Stensland in Chicago for stealing from the bank and for forgery
 Stensland landed in New York weak and showing much evidence of the
 strain which has attended his flight through many countries, his desperate
 but intellectual flight for freedom down the west African coast, and his final capture 'n the Moroccan city of Tan gier from which place the United States authorities were permitted to remove him by the government of Mo rocco.
 There was an affecting meeting be-
 tween father and son on board the tug Catharine Moore, which the pris- oner boarded at Quarantine. He de- nies the report that he tried to com init suicide. He had a sudden fainting spell which was interpreted as an at tempt at suicide by the Moroccan sol diers.

POLICEMAN MURDERED
 BY ATLANTA NEGROES
A Fierce Battle in Which Several
 Were Wounded.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 24-The reports of slaughter in various points of At ianta since the sun went down, after the most careful investigation pos sible. have been sifted down to one fight between a number of county pO- licemen and deputies and an unknown number of negroes.
 In a fight which took place in south Atlanta, in the vicinity of Clark uni versity, County Policeman James L. Heard was killed, four other officers wounded and three policemen were missing at last reports. The number Of negroes dead is not known, pOssi- bly, it will never be known but the or ficers in the darkness claim to have counted from six to seven dead ne groes in the street. The excitement of the fight in the darkness of the street. made counting uncertain.
 Heard with ten other officers and ten citizens, learning that negroes were gathering, went to disperse them. As they approached McDonough av- enue an unknown number of negroes hidden behind fences and houses fired a volley. Policeman Heard fell dead. Policeman Frank Jordan. himself wounded in the head emptied three rounds into the negroes apparently averaging the cold blooded assassina- ton. The other casualties were Po- liceman Odum, wounded in the head Policeman A. c. EubankS, wounded in the leg; Ernest Smith. a citizen, shot in the hip. Three of the party were reported missing.
 The report of a general fight and two killed at HowelPs station is de clared at military headquarters to be false. Other reports of trouble tonight are equally unfounded, according to later information from the alleged seat of battle.
Arizona republican., 1906-09-25

Senator Edgar T. Bracket of Sara tOga, has the most pronounced evi- dence of candidacy in sight with litho- graphs, portrait buttons and badges. There are quite a, number of men in the mentioned" class among these being former Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff. Elihu Root, sec retary of state; former Goevrnor Frank s. Black, Congressman Parsons and Andrew s. Draper of Albany, state commissioner of education.
 The contest, if there is a contest. is between Bruce and Hughes. Both are from New York county, but the strong support of Bruce comes from up state leaders; from the men who rallied around Governor Higgins and made possible the defeat of eX- Governor i Odell. Among these men there is op- position to Hughes which seriously inn pairs his chances of receiving the nomination
 Hughes is backed especially by Par sons and is his strongest asset. Par sons is not only fresh from a flashing victory in New York. but more recent ] ly from a visit to Oyster Bay. and it is believed that he would hardly be pushing the Hughes boom unless it was agreeable to the national admin istration.
 The Odell delegates in the New York delegation will be likely to vote for Hughes, as he was at one time con- sidered Odeu's choice, and possibly the Odell delegates up state would be for him. OdelI has. after aIl considerable strength in the convention and may become a factor in case of a close con- test.
 A seemingly significant turn wa taken in the situation on the eve of tn, convention by a gathering of the lead CTS at the quarters of ex-GovernO Black, and a report is spread that ther, might be an important outcome affect ing the control and action of the con ventiOn.
 It was said that OdelI was at leas tacit party to the negotiations. finally appeared that the main purpos of these visits was to induce Governo Black to stand as a candidate for gov ernor. To one and all he declared. i is said, that the only conceivable con dition upon which he would conside such a proposition would be the unani nous voice of the convention. Thi the leaders can hardly guarantee.

the democratic convention which is to be called to order in Convention hall at noon tomorrow went forward rap idly today. The big auditorium seats 5000 persons.
 On the eve of the convention the va rious candidates who are oTr the scene and the representatives of those who are not here marshalled their forces. and prepared for what is expected to be the liVeliest and most interesting convention the democratic party ever held in this state The party leaders were still trying to fathom the strength of Wm. R. Hearst in whose behalf a strong campaign organiza- tiOn is working. They are also en- deavOring to secure a declaration from Chas. F. Murphy, leader of Tammany
 hall, whose caucus is expected to be held either immediately after or priol
 to the first session of the convention
 or just following it. MT. Murphy was
 called upon at his headquarters tonight
 by a party of seven delegates from as many counties in the state, who were headed by John A. Dix of Washington county, and who spoke in behalf of MT Dix as to their choice for governor He is a relative of the late Gov. JohI A. Dix
