to marry an Engishman. He was a wealthy cotton spinner thrice her age. The wedding day was set to take place in New York, but the groom expectant had cabled that matters had arisen in his business to delay his coming. It was therefore arranged between him and the girls father that she should go to him. Her father was her only liv- ing relative and could not go with her; therefore she must go alone.
 It looked to the passengers who took notice of the attentions of the young man who was supposed to have made her acquaintance that he was becom- ing dangerous to the man who was awaiting his intended in England. But none of them except the officers who were more on deck at night knew that the couple sat late In coZy corners every night during the voyage long after every one not connected with the ship had turned in. 1 spent my even- ings below and usually at work on my accounts, but one night I went up. stumbled on the couple unawares and saw the young man with his arm about the girls waist. 1 made up my mind that for a bride going to meet the bridegroom she was tramping on dan gerous ground
 Two days before our arrival in Eng land the girl disappeared. She was seen last about 10 o'clock at night by a stewardess in the saloon. The young man who had been devoted to her was in the smoking room that night from half past Q till II. Several persons said they were there with him. At II he went to his room and turned in. There was 2 roomma+c with him, who said

She was well dressed and as pretty as q picture. An elderly centleman accompanied her, whom supposed to be her father. He bade her goodby affectionately, seeming loath to let her go, and, returning to his carriage, drove away.
 We had hardly got out of sight of land before one of the passengers, a young man not much older than her self began to show her a great deal of attention Whether this was their first meeting or not no one knew. If he was an old acquaintance and they had happened to meet on the voyage, no one knew. Some ladies questioned her about it, but got no satisfaction. She told one iady that she was going abroad

that the young man woke him up at II to ask him the time, saying that his watch had run down. Then he un- dressed and turned in. The roommate declared that he was light sleeper and any one leaving the room would have awakened him. Therefore the young man was in his berth all night. Furthermore, his roommate heard him snore often during the night.
 The girl was not missed till the next day at noon. She did not appear at breakfast, and, being absent at lunch. she was inquired for. Her room was visited. She was not there. A search was made. She could not be found | aboard the ship.
 or cours" every one suspected the young man of having something to do with her disappearance till he cleared himself of that suspicion. I confess I was puzzled. He showed distress. but not the distress of a mourner. Still, as he was supposed to have first met the girl on the ship, he could not be ex- pected to grieve inordinately. Had he thrown her overheard? If so, when could he have done it? The general opinion was that she had either gone overheard in her sleep or had commit ted suicide.
 Her fance was at the dock to meet her and showed genuine distress at her loss The young man who had been attentive to her contrived to get ashore without meeting him. Indeed. when he went ashore no one saw him so far as could be discovered
 The sequel to the story was told me by man who had crossed with us on that trip. He had gone a few years later to Rio de Janeiro in connection with the coffee business. Tn the owner of coffee plantation he recognized the young man I have been telling you about.
 He made himself known as a for mer companion de voyage, and the coffee planter took him to his house and introduced him to his wife. She was the young girl who had disap- peared.
 They had been married some years and had several children. Her hus- band had been her lover when it was decided she should marry the cotton | spinner.

KANSAS STANDS oath.
That Is the Final Result in the Rife
Shoot.

Kansas took gath place in the ma
tional rifle shoot. This is the news
which comes back from Camp Perry
But the exact facts are shrouded in
mystery. Adjutant General ]. W. F.
Hughes has not been heard from by
mail or wire for a week, so it is said
at his office, and the supposition is
that he is afraid to tell what hap
pened.
General Hughes will probably be
home tomorrow, and then the horrible
truth will have to be told.
1t appears that up to the 1000 yard
competition, Kansas was booming
along at a great rate, and stood 18th
in a list of So competing teams. But
Kansas must have slumped, because
the returns show that she finished
oath, which is two places lower than
last year.
The surprise of the match was the
way Oklahoma doomed up. Oklahoma,
which has only had national guard
two years, took 14th place. Some of
the old time rifle teams like Ohio, I'LL
nois and Indiana, failed to make their
usual fine scores
Lieutenant Frank Parmeley of Bur
lington won fifth place in the national
individual revolver contest. against a
field of several hundred competitors.
Parmeley was fifth last year in the
individual rifle match.

STRIKE CALLED OFF.
Alabama Miners Forced to Give Up by
Official Action.

Birmingham, Ala. Aug. S1.-An off,
cial order calling off the strike Of coal
miners in the Birmingham district was
issued to all the camps in tnIs section
today. 1t was signed by PRESIDENT
Lewis, Vice President White and sec
retary-treasurer Ryan of the United
Mine Workers of America.
The order ends a strike which be-
gan July 6, and which has been mark
ed by much violence. The official
order after reviewing the history OF
the strike, says:
The climax was reached when the
governor of Alabama said that the
miners shall not be permitted to live
in tented camps and that public meet
ings shall not be held in the mining
communities of the state during the
strike In other words the strike must
end, regardless of the cost to the
miners or any rights they have in the
premises.
The end of the strike means that
practically all of the mines in the
Birmingham district will be on a non
union basis The operators take back
all the men except those who have
committed acts of lawlessness.

ALL EYES ON VERMONT.
Results in State Election to Decide
Complexion of East.

New York. Aug. S1-The outcome
of the election in Vermont Tuesday is
awaited with keen interest at the
headquarters of the Republican and
Democratic national committees here.
The showing made in this state in the
number of voters who go to the polls
and the gains or losses of either party
in comparison with the vote of four
years ago will influence in no small
degree the shaping of the condition in
ali of the eastern states.
1t is conceded that the Republican
party will win, but If the plurality Is
reduced by reason of Republican
apathy, it will stir that party in the
east to renewed energy to arouse en-
thusiasn.
Overconf1dence of Republicans in
the east is the thing the managers of
the rational campaign are trying to
avoid. President Roosevelt is reported
to have told the officials of the con-
gressional campaign committee that
the way to prevent political apathy in
the voters is to keep it out of political
headquarters The speaking campaign
throughout the entire country will be
open about September Is.
Another test of sentiment will
come with the Maine election, Sep
TENDER Is. The Republicans do not
expect to get as large a plurality as
they did four years ago.

HIS FORMAL ENTRY.
Admiral Sperry Officially Calls on
Premier Brent.

Melbourne, Aug. 31.-Admiral Sperry,
commander-in-chie of the American
pattleship fleet, who together with the
omcers and men of the fleet today made
MS formal entry into Melbourne, this
afternoon off1cially called on Premier
Bent and the lord mayor who return
ed the courtesy at offices placed at the
admirafs disposal lin the treasury
building, where the royal Australian
artillery acted as a guarded of honor
When Admiral Sperry and his officers
arrived at ST. Kf1da's pier this morning
amid SaluteS from the battery of the
royal Australian artillery on the es-
planade, they were received by Admiral
atkinson, the commonwealth prime
minister; Sir Thomas Brent, the Vic
torian premier and the mayor, who
made an address on behalf of the NUM-
cipality. At the conclusion of the cere-
monies the American visitors escorted
by an escort of a squadron of light
morse, drove to the city proper, the
suburban mayors presenting address,
es OF welcome at their respective boun-
diaries before the city was reached.
Sir Thomas Gibson Carmichael, the
governor, joined the procession at
Princes bridge, which was reached
shortly after noon. Here the lord
mayor welcomed the Americans and
the governor entered Admiral Sperry's
carriage. The route through which the
procession threaded its way was lined
by a dense mass of cheering humanity
and the popular wave of enthusiasm
was continually demonstrated until the
exhibition building was reached. There
a public reception was given by Lord
Northcote, the governor general of
Australia, in honor of the American
officers to which numerous guests had
been invited to meet the visitors. Half
an hour later the federal governor en-
tertained the officers and men at
luncheon at the exhibition building and
Admiral Sperry and the other admirals
and senior officers of the fleet took
luncheon at the parliament house.
Besides the welcome extended to him
by the local mayors, Admiral Sperry
received many addresses including
those from both houses of the Victor
| ian parliament.
