TIME SHOWS CHANCE.

THE original manner Of the sculptor
knight was rapidly changing under
the polishing process Of skiHfuI Ameri-
can handling and the natural RESPONSE
biiities which were placed upon him in
his position as the consul Of his coun-
Try at Chicago. Suavity that was as
marked as recent came TO him. and he
became a skilIfui aid 20 the American
woman who stood as his sponsor, &C
oording 10 her claim.
He also adopted the tactful and pO-
little method Of a real diplomat He
gathered a number of the orders which
could be conferred by his country, nota-
bly, the order Of Christ, and these he
dispensed to men who could be Of ines
Unable service 10 him.
IN this manner Count Santa Eulalia
began to forge TO the front rapidly
He had placed his feet securely in the
pathway toward an American wife and
a fortune
In the set in which the count moved,
and in which also Mrs. Ernest was not
an unknown figure, there was a woman
named Mrs 7. Brockett Bishop, as she
prefers TO sign her name
She was the wife Of a comparatively
wealthy but no means rich man, and
moved in circles in COZ -sonance with her
afflUence. She had a dear friend, who
was the widow OF John B. Stetson. The
man who arnassed millions from manu-
facture of the hats that bear his name
Incidentally, she also knew both Mrs,
Ernest and the Count Santa Eulalia.
One day at a reception Mrs. StetsOn
met the count Their meeting was moth
ing more than a conventional introiuc-
ton, and neither believed that chance
introduction was fraught with the pos
sibilities which the future disclosed
Several times during that season The
count and his future wife met, but moth
ing that savOred of romance touched
their existence.
The Stetsons owned a magnificent es-
tate in Florida Adjoining their planta-
| ton and groves is the estate Of H. E.
| Delsnd. The latter, when he went for
the winter season 70 the land Of oranges
and palms, had in his encourage Count
Santa Eulalia. He had been commits
stoned by DeIand 10 make a has relief
of the latter to place in his Florida
\ home.

Society Takes
Notice Of Ribeiro.

In some mystic manner. apparently.
society began 10 acquaint itself with
the work Of Ribelro. Leaders OF the
Fashionable set began TO visit his stu
do and o purchase his works and
soon he BEGAN 10 be the vogue. Such
women Of wealth and position as Mrs
Marshall Field. the widow of the mer-
chant prince. took Ribeiro up and
prosperity began 10 rap on the knocker
of his studio.
Riboi-os first efforts to please so
ciety began with clay figures OF ancient
heroes and e'oddesses and then he grew
more ambitious. He gave sittings TO
the rich women. modelled them in clay
and chiseled into the cold marble their
faces and forms. HIS work was praised
by the lay voice as that OF a genius
and it seemed as though hts fame and
his fortune were surely established.
At the zenith Of his career in Chica-
GO, Mrs. Ernest now asserts she re-
newed he. offer to secure him a rich
wife through the conventional mode and
methods OF the marriage broker who
hoUrishes IN the European capitals. In
return for her offices in seining Ameri-
San dollars for Ribeiro he was to ray
her a certain sum Of money, the Ash
KUN matchmaker becoming familiar
with continental practice and her nat
ural thrift outweighing any scruples
about accepting such a monetary tender
for hs7 services
Statements regarding bargain differ

money, that she clothed ham and tina,

After communion with her own
thoughts she left the studio that day,
but to return on the morrow She went
alone at this time, having Matched her

sculptor. After desultOry converse

She would furnish the money that
would permit him to open studio,

O'Neil will serve the next fifteen
days in the county jail, unless she
pays fine of $50 that was levied
against her pocketbook this morn
ing by Judge H. H. Atkinson in the
justice court. At that time Mary's
pocketbook looked as if it had Just
recovered from a severe attack of
the whooping cough and she was
hustled back to the bastile. She
was charged with drunkenness and
made a strong attempt to prove that
she was innocent of the charge. but
her arguments failed to convince
the court. At any rate Mary will
preside over the Christmas dinner
at the Hotel de Robb and per-
chance she will officiate in the same
manner over the New Years feast.

TRACK GEARED IN CENTER TO

MENSE ENGINES

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S-Instead
OF the familiar old towpath mule
giant electric locomotives will move
the shipping through the Panama
canal locks.
The ordinary locomotive would
spin its wheels wildly and ineffect-
ually upon the usual form OF steel
rail when its drawbar felt the pull
OF a 20,000-ton warship.
The big electric locomotives will
be geared to the tracks by middle
rail- cut into the form of a rack,
giving enormous traction power
Millions of pounds of steel will
be required for the construction of
these tracks at the lock sidings and
within the next week or two the
canal commission will start the
work by advertising for 5000 tons
of track material.
Some of the larger items are e.
2l2,544 pounds of steel cross ties.
l,S34,240 pounds of rolled steel
conductor slot covers, 6,554,OOO
pounds of steel channels. About
1000 tons of 90-pound steel rails
for the towing system will also be
wanted.
The commission will install this
track railroad itself, allowing two
years for the work SO as to keen
pace with the lock construction.
