Internationally to herself. Harrie
had expected that Clayton's own heart
would suggest all that she had 30
carefully hidden: young Dukes, on
his part, as he had made no effort to
conceal, the fact that his ten,dollar
bill had paid for the magnificent
roses, felt perfectly Justified In expect
ing some acknowledgment. 4.
A dinner-dance at Mrs. Caring
ford's was ct last to bring them to-
gether.
Things fell Out all criss-cross a.
they often do. Miss Arnold, whom he
met unexpectedly descending the stair
case, made such am effort to appear
perfectly natural, that quite. un-
natural hauteur distinguished the car
riage of the head, startling into equal.
ly unnatural GOODNESS the greeting OF
Mr.. Dukes. The latter said to him
Self "She takes this manner of
showing her disapproval Of such scost-
Fly attentions. Well, Clayton, old man,
there's only dne thing, for you to. do;
taccept your congo without making q
further fool Of yourself"
Harrie was not quite 30 precipitate,
but after dance which in no wise
thawed their dignity into friendliness,
she, poor child. was ready to melt
; into tears OF modification, to hide
which, she retreated into the conserva-
tory. Even her unhappiness was not
allowed its way, for her Cousin Harry
came upon her, breathlessly, and only
desisted from bearing her back to the
ballroom, upon being convinced OF her
fatigue.
Harry Arnold was not young man
to lose such an opportunity az this;
II he could not dance with her. he
could propose to her, and where
would he have another such o chance?
1t was all done before either Of them
quite knew how, and somehow, after
this, his little fiancee seemed to have
no occasion for the fearful scene for
which she had prepared herself.
1t was a year afterward that Mrs.
Henry Arnold, as she chose to write
herself nowadays. came hastily into
her friend Gertrude Clearinghouse
room, one morning, to carry her away
| to the flower show. She found her
laughing over something which she
had just received from her maid,
lilly Bowles. To Mrs. Arnold's intense
dismay, the object OF her amusement
J was none other than the valentine
dispatched with many hopes a year
| before by her own hand.
Where did you get. it?" she gasped.

whom he never thought OF until he
got this valentine which he supposed

FIGHTING NEW YORK FIRES.
Fireman From Hungary Here Pick
 ing Up Pointers.

New York. June 29.-For more than month Steven Joseph Adam, chief of the fire department of Budapest, Hungary, has been fight ing fires on the east side as a mem- Der of Hook and Ladder company IS, in Attorney street. Adam, who weighs 230 pounds, came to this country accompanied by his wife and son, and commissioned by the Budapest authorities to make thor ough investigation of the system of fighting the flames in the big cities of the United States.
 The credentials he presented to Fire Chief Croker insured him every attention, and his request to gain experience as a real fire laddie was granted.
 He was equipped with helmet uniform, rubber coat and rubber boots and sent to Truck No IS to learn how the New York fire fight CTS do business.
 It took the Hungarian fire fighter several days to become accustomed to the quick action of the New Workers. At the first alarm the hook and ladder truck was half way to the fire before Adam had his boots on. He soon caught the swing however, and was usuallyt he first to slide down the brass pole.

LITTLE GUN KILLS BEAR.
Vancouver Hunter Bags Grizzly in the Water After Eight Shots.

To kill big grizzly bear, weigh ing nearly 500 pounds, with a 32- caliber revolver is something that few men accomplish and very few would care to attempt. Yet that is the unusual feat which Dr Mckay Jordan. the we'll known oculist, ac- complished about a week ago while visiting some mining claims he is in- terested Tn near Jedway.
 pr Jordan. who has just returned srom a three weeks visit to min- ing properties on Queen Charlotte island, is having the skin of the bear dressed by local taxider- mist. The eight small bullet holes in the skin are in themselves proof of his unique experience. Of course, it is very doubtful if the bear would ever have been bagged had he not been caught in the water and prac- tically at ihe mercy of Dr Jordan and his friends.
 They were taking a load of sup plies to new camp in a small boat. and while passing through a channel between two islands. which was only a couple of yards wide, came upon the bear swimming across the chan nel. They headed him of from the shore despite the animals angry snarls. pr Jordan was the only one of the party who had anything in the shape of frearm. and that was only a revolver with 32 short cartridges. He emptied one load Of these at the half-immersed bear. but the bullets had little effect ex- cept to glance of the hard skull and make the animal redouble his efforts to get away from his pur- suers and reach shore.
 Dr Jordan and his companions got closer to the bear with their boat. and in the meanwhile the revolver was loaded up again. Two more shots were sent into the animal at short range and finally one. right over the temple. fired from a dis tance of less than ten feet. did the trick. The bear doubled up as the bullet crashed into his brain. The hear vas 50 heavy that the four men in the boat were unable 10 drag him on board. and the carcass was towed ashore tO be skinned and cut up.-vancouver World

IS GETTING SERIOUS
Trouble Along the NoriherD Dor. der of Mexico Keeping Au-
 ihoTiiles Busy.

City of Mexico, June 29.-The in- ternal troubles in Mexico which developed several days ago along the northern border of the repuD- lie, have developed serious features. To-day the storm centers around the city of Torreon and in the country between that place ana Jaral where bandit bands are oper- ating in conjunction with the insur- rectionists. Government troops are rushing to the scene. Already 1,50O federal soldiers have reached Tor reon to reinforce the garrison there, 200 more have reached Juarez and in Chihuahua soldiers are patrolling the streets and the public houses and jails are heavily guarded.
 In view of the latest developments Ambassador Greet, the Mexican rep resentative at Washington, who has been here on what promised to be a long leave of absence, has been instructed to return to the Amer ican capital without delay. He will leave at once for Washington. Il is the belief of the Mexican govern, ment that the revolutionary move ment now in progress was fomented by a band of agitat2ss who long have made their headquarters in the United States. On this ground, Il is believed Ambassador Creel will anneaI tO the limited States authOri ties to assist in experimenting some of the revolutionists, particular, those who were concerned in tho attack on Las Vacas. The request will be made also that if any of the ringleaders in the movement art captured in the United States, they are to be tried in the courts ot that country on charges of violat ing the neutrality laws.

INSULTED FLAG
Colon Commercial House Used Stars and Stripes For a
 Window Washer
AMERICANS RESENT IT

Washington, June 29.-The Amer jeans in Panama have had cause for heated protests recently, not on ac- count of the Panama elections, but because of an incident which called into action a portion of the Pana- manian army. A foreign commercial house in Colon insulted the American flag, using it to wash the windows of the establishment. Wayne o. Ad- ans of the canal zone, as the story goes, witnessed the dissertation of the Stars and Stripes and engaged in hard fought battle for the posses sion of one of the flags which was being used to clean windows. He was pursued, according to reports, by a section of the army of Panama, consisting of two policemen and q lieutenant-general in full regalia. As a result of the disrespect shown the flag by the commercial house in question, the canal zone from one end to the other is hung with boy colt signs and the offenders have found less expensive wash rags.

WHEN MEN WORE SHAWLS.
President Lincoln's Was a Big
 Scotch Plaid,

On very rare occasions you now see some old lady wearing shawl, but generally speaking this once universal garment has become ob- solete. An India or Persian shawl used to be considered one of the finest feminine possessions in the world, and they were handed down from mother to daughter as prized heirlooms. But now if you gave young woman even a very elegant shawl, costing possibly hun dreds of dollars, as many did, she would turn up her beautiful nose at it, even if it were the only thing she had.
 The trouble is that shawls are out of style, and it is easier to drive a camel through the eye of needle than to get woman , wear any thing that is out of fashion. When womankind took to mannish tailor made and close-fitting clothes they cast shawls aside, and if they ever come into favor again it will only be for one season." as tempo rary whim, for they have an air about them that is too old fashioned
 Those children that are Say 40 years old or more can probably re- member when even men wore shawls, instead of overcoats. For about ten years they were considered just the thing. This was the decade beginning with about 1860. Presi- dent Lincoln was very partial to his big Scotch shawl, which, ac- cording to the vogue, he wore, not folded diagonally in feminine fash ion, but folded lengthwise. This folded shawl was passed over the shoulders and raound in front. where it was either held by the hands or pinned by huge shawl pin. This case of the shawl is about the only one where the men have appropriated an article of wear from the women's wardrobe-though the instances where the reverse hns happened are legion.
 Even then, the shawl was orig inally not woman's garment ex- clusively, for the Scotch Highland CT has his tartan plaid, and the men of northern Italy still wear a cloak NhARh 10 wy Nhoh VI shawl. There can be no question that the shawl is more useful and more picturesque as an article of at- tire than the close fitting coats both men and women now wear. The shawl could in case of emergency be used to protect two persons, or to. wrap child in. or as an extra bed covering; It's fashion did not change every three months. and it could be used and passed down in the family until 1t was worn out Nowadays the only time when such articles are used is when people are making an ocean trip or travelling in Europe. Travelling rugs" which are nothing more nor less than mems heavy shawls, are extremely English" and for travellers they are considered very proper and de- sirable-but outside of a steamer train or carriage no one who cares for what people will say would be seen with one.

SNAKES BATTLE TO DEATH.
Blacksnake Tackles Rattler, and It's
 Life Is the Penalty.

New York, June 29.-A fight to the death between a large black snake and rattler took place yester- day afternoon in the reptile reserva- tion of the cave dwellers and their snakes at the Bostock animal show, Dreamland, Coney Island.
 The cave dwellers were asserting the reptiles preparatory to the af- ternoon exhibition and a blacksnake when removed from its nest to the sand covered floor sprang at rattler lying apparently dormant close by.
 Quick as flash the rattler re- turned the attack, burying it's poison- ous fangs in the back of its oppo- nent's head. Both reptiles wriggled and squirmed, flashing the floor with their tails. The rattler killed tho blacksnake and continued to hold on to it. The rattle. also died, suc- cumbing, it is supposed, to injuries received from the squeezing given it by one of the cave dwellers.
