of those nonskids printed on my
brain, sir, since yesterday" said he.
$ What i don't know about them
isn't worth knowing" So he
pounced upon the thick, straight,
dotted line in the mud, and, los
ing t-often, but always picking it
out again, we turned and wound
till the trail stopped in front of a
private house. Later, it went on;
but it was evident that the car
had paused. The mud was much
trampled, and probably luggage
had been taken down
We presumed, therefore, that
those we sought were within; but
the next thing was to find the
resting place of the Lecomte, lest
it should disappear and leave us in
the lurch, ignorant of its destina-
ton. Luckily for us, the worst was
over. The trail led to stable not
far away, and as the doors stood
wide open we had the joyous relief
of seeing the car being cleansed of
it's rich coat of mud The chauffeur
was experimenting, his back turned
to the doors, and we walked quickly
on lest he should spy leather coat,
and guess that his own game was
being played upon him.

Ropes. That car won't leave this
town without my knowing; and it Il

Then we went back to the hotel.

suggested, to Waring. HoNoRED

we might meet again in Madrid.
The Duke said he hoped so too, but did not

friend had invited us.

The Tallest Office Building in
the world is now being built in
New York. 1t is the Singer build
ing, and by comparison, the sky
scrapers, which hitherto have
created SO much talk, are dwarfed.
The foundations are on rock 90
feet below the earth S surface. The
main building, from sidewalk to
roof will rise 1872 feet. while above
this will be a tower 612 feet high
from the ground. This tower will
contain Al stories. Nearly the
entire building will be used for
Office purposes, and it will house
approximately $500 persons. Not
a cubic inch of wood will enter
into the construction, even the
window sashes and doors being of
metal, while the floors are of
cement and marble. 1t is expected
that the building will be completed
in May, 1908.

NEW QUARANTINE OFFICER
DR.. v. P. Armstrong Replaces Or. j Il.
Florence at Brownsville:

The newly appointed quarantine
officer for the Brazos de Santiago
District, DIR. v. P. Armstrong. for
merly of Dallas, has arrived in
Brownsville to take charge of the
office. Armstrong has just been
appointed by Gov. Campbell to
succeed Dr.. ]. H. Florence, who
has held the Office of quarantine
officer here for the past three years.
Dr., Florence will be retained in
the service also, and will probably
be stationed at Sabine. For the
present, by DR.. Brumby. the new
state health officer, to visit the va
rious quarantine stations of the
state on tour of Inspection.
DR.. Armstrong has long been
prominent in his profession at
Dallas, having been city health
officer there for eight years. He
is accompanied by Mrs. Armstrong
and expects to make Brownsville
his home during his tenure Of this
Office.
While extending a cordial vel
come to his successor and sincerely
hoping that he and his family may
like Brownsville, THE HERALD at
the same time cannot refrain from
expressing its sincere regret at
losing DR.. Florence and his esti-
mable family from our midst. As
physician, as an officer, and as a
man, DIR. Florence has won the
respect and hearty liking of all
who have known him here. His
high standing as a health officer
was recognized by DR.. Tabor, who
entrusted to him the entire charge
of the state health board during his
CDR. Tabor's) absence of several
months from the state, and his
value as a health officer has in
duced Gov. Campbell to retain
him in the service.

ANOTHER BIG LAND DEAL.
A. c. BrOkaw Of California Buys Land
Below Brownsville.

A land deal of considerable i'm
portance was effected by the St.
John Land and investment com
pany as agents of Fulgencio Lopez
a few days ago, whereby the latter
sold to A. c. Brokaw 1000 acres of
land fronting on the Rio Grande.
next to the Brulay sugar plantation
and extending northward- to the
Rio Grande railway, being about
mile in width. The price was
$44, 600.
Mr.. Brokaw was mentioned in
Fridays HERALD as having pur-
chased residence in Brownsville,
being the house and lots adj
joining the Presbyterian Mission
house on Washington street: AS
stated them he is a prominent mine
owner of Siskiyot county, Califor-
MIA. The land he has bought here
is one of the finest tracts in Cam
eron county. THE HERALD learns
that Mr.. Brokaw intends to divide
the tracts into small lots, of 20 to
40 acres, to accommodate parties de-
string small farms. This land is
all easily irrigable from the Rio
Grande.
Mr.. Brokaw has returned to
California with the intention of
bringing his family to reside in
Brownsville. He thinks the lower
Rio Grande far ahead of California
and has shown his faith by invest
ing here. Gov. St. John of the St.

pany says his firm is receiving let
tiers every day from Californians
who are thinking of coming to the
Brownsville country. If Mr..
Brokaw is fair sample of them,

THE BULL FIGHT.
Immence Crowd Witnessed Killing Of
-Four Ferocious Animals.

The bull ring at Matamoros yes
terday presented an animated
spectacle, a crowd of between 5000
and 1000 persons filing the seats
of the amphitheatre. Nearly all of
the tourists that came in Saturday
night were there, and evidently
were greatly interested in the
spectacle.
As bull fights go, this was con-
sidered a first class performance.
The quadrille of fighters compris-
ed some famous heroes of the arena,
Jaqueta, the chief matador having
been one of those taking part in
the bull fights given in Spain in
celebration of King Alfonso's we'd
ding. Four bulls of the celebrated
Guaname breed were killed. They
were quite feroclouS and the
quadrille did some very fine work +,
in playing and finally dispatching
the animals. The second bull was
unusually fierce and the matador
had two very narrow escapes.
One of the picadores was very
nearly killed by bull which gored
the horse he was riding causing
the animal to fall OIL its rider.
Several horses were killed III the
fray.
The crowd was very enthusiastic.
The music, the picturesque cos
tunes of the fighters and the cheer
ing throng Of spectators all COM
bined to make a spectacle which
will doubtless linger long in the
minds of the hundreds of North
ern people who witnessed it.
