 Fitzgerald carried two notes in hi, pocket One was from an acquaint ance, young lawyer of the city, ask, him to call upon him on a matter of personal business. In response to this request he was walking briskly to. wards the lawyers ofice. What it was Cotton wanted to see him about he did not know. As a matter of fact, he did not care. His mind was too fully engaged with the emotions in spired by the contents of the other Dote.
 This was dainty epistle from Mar garet Mervin, the girl who had be witchod his heart and turned his head after their first days acquaintance ship at the seashore. five months be fore. As he hurried along his brain was awhirl with troubled and exciting thoughts, for the missiye' he had re ceiyed from her to-day was enough te upset the equanimity of any lover:
 My very dear Friend: Your avowaI has touched me most despiy. But what is . bit of helpless femininity to do when her heart is large enough for only one Is |, not better to remain friends with both, Then let me always be
 Your sincere friend.
 MARGARET.
 Fitzgerald was angry and humiliated angry. because some other man had evidently come across the pathway ol his hearts aspiration; and humiliated because she had turned him of SC airily; and this. too. after infiating hii hopes by ready acceptance of th' many tokens of adoration he had be slowed upon her. including a weeki, trip to Philadelphia that he might onc' in seven days hold her hand in his fol a moment and spend few brief hour in her enchanting presence
 He was still ruminating when he al rived at the lawyers olice. He opened the door hastily and walked in. ColtoI was alone. Stopping over his desk Il the center of the room. he did not Q once look up.

 Then. suddenly. without uttering .
 sound, he fell against the wal! and
 sank slowly to the floor. where he re- mained motionless, his head dropping upon his chest.
 Fitzgerald smiled grimly. He knew he had landed two blows over the heart. and he was not surprised. Min gied triumph and satisfaction added a. rosier glow to his burning cheeks. With his handkerchief he calmly wiped the precipitation from his face and neck and sauntered over to one of the windows.
 As he did so his eye lighted on the
 card that Colton had taken from the envelope. He picked 1t up with hur. ried. impulsiye movement. and holding 1t to the light he gazed upon it as one

There were icicles and suspended snow balls and a miniature frosted Christmas tree. A large cake of ice was used as the centerriece. and mass of roses com pIeted the decorations. An ice contest prize of a cut glass salt and pepper shaker was won by Mrs. J. B. Ormond, who presented them to the guest of honor.

rand gave Miss Malarky $1.00e for a trip to New York, but instead, as it was learned later. she went to Mex leo. presumably for the purpose of perfecting plans for the nefarious Kidnapping she had in mind.
 In the meantime Scanlon went out to his cabin in the mountains near Mammoth. sobered up and began to realize what he had done. Believing he had been duped, he came down to Mammoth and asked the advice and assistance of his old friend. Pool. who advised him to go to his lawyer in Tucson and commence an- nullment proceedings.
 Pool then accompanied him there on "Wednesday. August IS. It was then that they learned that Miss Nal arky was back in Tucson and had sold mortgage for $4.0o0 that had been made over to her by Scanlon. Pool and Scanion then went to his lawyer and stated his case, explain ing everything in detail. The lawyer had him revoke his power of attor- ney and August Kigel was appointed his guardian and instituted injunc- ton proceedings against Miss Nal arky. The papers were not served. as she left that night In some way she had got wind of what Scanlon was doing and evidently had him closely shadowed and wasacting on the advice of her attorney, who had drawn up all the papers and trans. acted all her business between her and Scanlon.
 1 Mir. Pool. after leaving the lawyer s office. took Scanlon to lodging house at lI4 East Alameda street. and Scan lon implored him to keep the woman
 Miss Malarky, and her associates away from him. as he seemed to be under her influence.
 MT. Pool, thinking he was safe
 there. went .out, and was not gone more than fifteen minutes before Miss Malarky appeared at the door
 of the house and represented herself as Mrs. Sibley, a friend of his and
 the wife of the superintendent of the Copper Creek Mining Company. and
 that she wanted to see Scanlon. The old man was assisted to the from
 door and was quickly hustled out into a carriage that was in readines. and taken to vacant house. where lthe confederates were waiting.

VICTIMS FRIEND TELLS STORY
 OF SCANLOA KIDNAPPING CASE

KELVIN. ARIZ., Aug. 31-tspe- cial. l-The following story Is told verbatim in regard to the sensational abduction of John Scanlon by life long friend and associate, Frank M. Pool. who had accompanied Scanlon to Tucson on the day he was kid naped, for the purpose of seeing lawyer and commencing annulment proceedings.
 Some interesting and new facts are brought to light in the recital of the affair by Mir. Pool, showing that Miss Malarky was not alone. but had sey- eral confederates. John Scanlon has been a resident of Pinal county for the past thirty years. owning some very valuable mining property at diff ferent times.
 Three year sago he and his part ner, Waliapai Clark bonded part of their claims. which were located ten miles east of Mammoth. for $75,000. A year ago they received final pay ment of s25,ooo each. Since that time John Scanlon has been drink ing and spending his money in a wasteful manner, being an easy prey for all who were inclined to take ad- vantage of him He became senile and not able to take care of himself. It was in May of the past spring that Scanlan became very sick after pro. tracted spree. A German woman by the name of Mrs. J. H. Bose, who runs the hotel at ammoth, took the old man to California for the benefit of his health. They were gone three weeks and he came back very much improved. It was in July that he reached Tucson. Mrs. Bose then took him to the house of her friend, Mrs Frank Lester. where he met the wom an who was later the cause of his undoing, Miss Marion Malarky. Il was through Mrs. Lester that they were introduced. Miss Malarky had been in Tucson only a short while ir the capacity of nurse for some veal thy Eastern man living at Mrs. Les ter's house. She is 24 years of age and very striking looking woman and old Scanlon at once fell for bel charms, becoming as clay in hel hands. It was then that the though struck her that with Scanlon's money Tucson would be an ideal place fol a sanatorium. and it was with this end in view that she began working Scanlon for his money. It was sug gested by Mrs. Lester that he ough to marry and have someone to looi after him in his decling years. Witt the aid of two of Miss Malarky's con federates she kept the old man in comatose condition with whisky ana drugs for ten days, and with promises to marry him and give him all tht necessities for his welfare. Induced him to sign over all of his property tt Miss Malarky. including mortgages held by him on Tucson real estat' which amounted to $IL5o0 in all also deeds in escrow. He also gav' her power of attorney and made will in her favor. The power of al torney and contract were recorded a Florence, Pinal county.
 Scanlon had by this time spent al his money in riotous living, so h then sold some of his first mortgage

A SCATTERED FLOCK.

Lambs in the Wall street sense are
confined to no state They exist in all
of the forty-six states, and as their
operations are chiefly conducted in
Wall street the New York lawmakers
have slipped onto them a stock trans
fer tax This tax will bring in this
year fully $5,0O0,0O0. Only 81 per
cent Of this tax will be paid by New
Workers, leaving 48 per cent. of it to
be paid by persons in other states.
This feature of taxing people in other
states cannot be avoided SO long as
New York is the financial and stock
jobbing center of the country.
The stock market transfer tax and
the collateral Inheritance tax and a
few other taxes of like nature are
fast rendering a rich state indepen-
dent of the customary taxes on real
and personal property. That kind OF
property will be handed over to the
counties and cities for taxation pur-
poses. New York, New Jersey an6
Pennsylvania are in one class, and
state taxation in all three will soo1
be of a special nature.

The UNITED STATES TREASURY.

At the beginning of this month the
available cash in the Treasury was
$42, 600 900, and the government has
on deposit in the national banks $685.
900, 900. A call for $25,000,000 of the
latter amount has been made, and
possibly still more money will be
called in, although the banks will not
hereafter hold much more than a fair
working balance.
The deficit of the fiscal year just
closed was a trif1e less than $90,000,-
600. The deficit was less than had
been anticipated because importations
had been temporarily increased by the
fear of higher duties in the new tariff
bill. The deficit of the present fiscal
year is variously estimated. Senator
Aldrich says it will be $60,000,O0O
Some, however, put it at higher fig
ures. Not much aid is anticipated
from the new tariff. 1t is in good part
prohibitive, the Treasury being less
considered in it's makeup than spe-
cial interests. 1t may, however, bring
in $15,0O0,000 more than the Dingley
bill would have brought in. The cor
poration tax, unless checked by litiga
ton, will turn a golden tide into the
Treasury-possibly to the extent O.
| $50, 100000. This tide will not, how
| ever, be felt until next June. In the
meanwhile the state Of the Treasury
will be low, and Congress will bt
| asked in December to provide for {
government loan. Secretary Mac
Veagh already possesses power to is
sue per cent. Panama canal bond:
or per cent. temporary certificate:
| of indebtedness. The intention a
present seems to be to get along unit
| December without any issue of bonds
A revenue tariff would have rem
| dered a government loan unnecessary
but a prohibitive tariff makes one in
evitable. 1t is idle to expect Congress
to be economical, as idle as it is tt
| expect the Aldriches and Cannons t:
devise a tariff that is a great produce
of revenue, and there must, therefore
be recourse to borrowing next winter

by the Bolivian government not to ac-
cept Argentina's verdict in the boun-
dary dispute between Bolivia and Pc
ru, by which the rich acre territory
was declared to be Peruvian, is con-

Only the presence of guard of 800

The greatest disorder prevails and

For several years my husband was

were living on the edge of the desert at
an elevation of nearly five thousand
feet. Every one in that high and dry
atmosphere has more or less trouble
with dandruff and my daughters scalp
BECAME SO encrusted with it that was
alarmed for fear she would lose all her
halr, which was very heavy. After
spending between five and six dollars
Tor various remedies, in desperation /
bought q cake of Cuticura Soap and
pox OF Cuticura Ointment. After rub
bing the Cuticura Ointment thoroughly
into the roots Of the hair, I gently
combed the crust of dandruff free from
the scalp, and then gave her head q
Lhorough shampoo with the Cuticura
Soap. This left the scalp beautifully
clean and free from dandruff, and after
the hair was dry, again rubbed the
Cutlcura Ointment, this time sparingly,
into the roots, and am happy to say
that the Cuticura Remedies were
complete success. My troubles with
dandruh were over, although for long
time afterward I used the Cuticura
Ointment as at first, after shampooing,
which kept the scalp and roots Of the
hair moist. have used successfully
the Cuticura Remedies for so-called
'milk-crust' on baby's head, and have
never found anything to equal them.
