proved almost insurmountable obstacles
in the early efforts of the rescuing
parties.

who rendered such valuable aid in the
terrible mine disaster at Courable,
France, in March Of 1906, arrived on the
scene, but were unable to enter the
mine, being forced to wait the result

seated himself opposite her.
"Oh, no! She's queenly tail, but
slender; an elegant figure"
Alfred WINGED at Mrs. Harmon's i'm
piled mental vision of Stella.
Her complexion is-certainly not
rosy; yet she has a lovely color, what
one might, perhaps, call warmly pale.
Her hair is wonderful. All the smooth
ing and pulling of the horrid fashion
cannot Danish the wave from it. Dark
brown it is, almost black at night. In
the sun it has rusty tints, shining
threads: I'm sure you never knew
her. She's just back from Vassar and
from abroad
And where had she lived before
that?" Alfred asked, eager yet, though
hope was dying. --.~

in Calistoga. You mustn't think less
of her, Alfred-she waited at our
table,
"A waitress? And Vassar? 1 don't
understand"
"No, of course not. It would take
days to tell the strange and fine things
I know of her. We both fell in love
with her, the Judge and myself. She
was working her way through school,"
"Yes," Alfred answered absently.
"She has an exceptional mind. The
Judge was very greatly interested in
her.
"I begin to see how Miss Anthony
accomplished Vassar. She"
But you don't see. She's not a
protegee, but one of the richest wom-

though she returned less than a month
ago."
Alfred's hope glimmered away to OBJ
liviOn. His heart had sung Stella's
name through all the conversation;
yet nothing of this woman's life or
looks tailed with Stella. Still, if she
were Stella-oh, if she were Stella!

comforting her with love that Stella
knew would never fail. When Alvin

LIBERALS SUCCESSFUL
IN HAVANA ELECTION
Even Should Party Lose Presidency,
It Will Probably Have control of
Senate--62 Electoral Votes
Are Claimed

HAVANA, Nov. 12.-At the close OF
the presidential campaign which ended
last night with a great conservative
demonstration in Havana both Conser-
vative and Liberal leaders expressed
the utmost confidence as to the result.
The election probably will be very
close, but indications are rather faVor-
able TO the success Of the Liberals.
Much depends upon the bringing out
of the vote which was not cast in the
elections in August, when only 269, lSz
votes were deposited, as compared with
a registration of 451,677.
The Conservatives claim greater
portion of this silent vote of $4,000, al
leging that their partisans were de-
TERED by intimidations from going to
the polls.
A careful canvass made by the Ha-
vana Post>g gives the Liberals Pinar Del
Rio, Havana, and Oriente provinces,
which would mean total of 62 cleo
toraI votes, eight in excess of the num-
her necessary for a choice. santa
Clara and Camaguey provinces are
doubtful, while Matanzas is Conserva~
tive.
The Liberals claim all of the prov
inces, while the Conservatives concede
to them Havana, but claim Pinar Del
Rio, Santa Clara, Oriente and CANA
guey.
Even If the Liberals lose the presi-
dency they probably will have control
of the Sente.

LEAGUE
REPUDIATES ALLIANCE
Triokery During Campaign In Nebraska
Openly charged-says Amalga-
nation Has Always Brought
Defeat
rsy Associated press.1

DIES MONIES, Nov. 12.-At a secret
session of the central district of the
American Anti Saloon league today it
was decided to adopt a policy ignoring
the Prohibition party entirely. Trick
cry on the part of the Prohibitionists
during the recent campaign in Ne
braska was openly charged. It was
declared further that amalgamation
with the party had resulted in failure
and defeat for the league in every state
where it had been attempted.
State superintendent present as
serted the Prohibition party was their
greatest foe in the fight to secure the
election of men favorable to temper
ance legislation.
The liquor interests took advantage
of this fact, said league officials. and
used every means to further split the
temperance ranks.
National Superintendent P. A. Baker
made an address in which he pointed
out the disadvantages of any cooper
alton with the Prohibitionists.
National Superintendent Baker also
publicly denounced the statement is
sued by the whisky trust to the effect
that he had received $1,000 from John
d. Rockefeller for the National Anti
Saloon league.
