Guayra when Generalissimo Carmelc

the idol of their souls Is looking FOL

But such, alas, is the case!
The Generalissimo told me so him
self to-day at the Hotel Empire
where he Is stopping
This hero of four wars, and, II re-
ports from Caracas may be believed,
OF hundred heart-breaking love az
fairs, is short, swarthy and twenty
six. He has dark hair that crinkles
dark eyes that languish, and man
ner blending diftldence and audacity
IL see by your papers," he said,
waving a hand on which a four-carat
diamond shone like a high voltage
electric light, that I am supposed
TO be in New York on a secret mis-
sion-in fact, to buy artillery for my
Government.
"A Beautiful Girl to Love Me-"
But no; 1 am here only to find a
beautiful American girl to love me
and take back to Venezuela Do you
think will be successful"
Cold type unfortunately cannot re-
produce the velvet tones of this devilish
DON But at every word of his in
genuous question. more and more Ian
guishment spoke from the Generals
smo's eyes.
"Ah, yes" he continued, your news
papers have written OF tx young ladies
who babe me farewell. but I want only
one girl who will love me all the time.
What should l do with six?' he added
modestly.
But how do you know you want an
American girl for a wife?" I ventured
to inquire. You are going to Paris
from here. Perhaps a French girl
would suit you better?'
NO" the Generalissimo replied en-
phatically. II know the American girl.
The American man is cold. He does
not appreciate her. But she-ah. she
has a warm heart
Really" 1 gasped. How do you
know"
The Generalisslmo sighed. then he
smiled He looked at the ceiling. Then
his eyes dropped modestly to the shin
ing gold locket suspended from his
waistcoat pocket.
Lived Here Two Years.
How do I know the American girl
has warm hearth" he repeated. Why,
/ lived here for two years.
Here I'll have to confess I lunked.
Fearful OF further revelations. l changed
the subject. and asked the young soldier
where he got all the half-dozen sabre
cuts that divide his face into sections,
like map OF Venezuela.
But he was not to be diverted from
the topic of his heart.
Explaining briefly that the gallant
scars were obtained In four years ser
vice in the Venezuelan army. he re-
verted to the American girl.
DO you think ] could find one to love
NEE" he repeated.
You might advertise" I suggested.
"Or IL you will give me the specihca-
tions of the kind of American girl you
want, l will print 1t for you"
But the young man did not take
kindly TO the suggestion. Moreover.
misgivings came and perched upon his
, candid brow.
perhaps 1t would be better not to say
I think the American ladies are warm
hearted" he murmured tentatively.
"Oh, no; they will be very much In
.terested In your opinion" l treasured
him. Particularly as you come from
Spanish country. where Chile con
carne te,nperaments are the rule"
Few vcnezueIans Here.
Just like here" replied the youns
man. You see 30 few Venezuelan ladies'
here. They go to Paris and London
when they take pleasure trips. Vene'
zuelans never come to New York except
on business, and the ladies have nc
business, so they don't come"
And were there really six Venezue'
Ian bellies on the dock TO say goodby te

Generalissimo eyasively.
And this American ideal you are
