the head, but she wouldn't stay there.
Some other girl vas constantly "going
up head" 1t was very much the same
with No. 2, and so on with the seven
names he had laid down.
1t was a long while before he settled
gin a courtship. After spending a few
weeks in attendance upon her he sent
her some flowers. intending to follow
up the gift with a proposal. But the
girl, foreseeing the offer and being ell
gagged, headed him off.
Phil was obliged to begin all over.
He spent some time settling on a new
No. 1 and when she was set up for a
mark commenced to fire at her. She
was not engaged, but she didn't happen
to have any use for Phil and soon
made him aware of the fact.
Phil was doing all this without say
ing anything to the girls he wa trying
for about his Inheritance. 1t had not
occurred to him that it would be nee
essary to mention the fact to get a
wife. After several refusals he won
dered if he wouldn't have to make use
of that argument. The idea was alb
horrent to him. 1t looked too much like
offering S1U0,O 600 to induce a girl to
marry him. He positively couldn't do it.
-Four of the six months of grace had
passed and he had not found a wife.
Then he began to worry. He saw at
last the wisdom Of his friends advice.
Every day there was one-sixtieth less
chance of his securing that fortune.
He might marry his washerwoman's
daughter or any girl Of the lower class
who was ready to be taken care of.
He began to fear that he would have
to do this to save his fortune.
Then he fell Ill and was attacked
with brain fever. For n month he was
confined to his room and much Of the
time to his bed. When he became con.

HE ANAGE TO DRAW HIS REVOLVER,
struggled beneath the feet of the long
shoremen.
He tried to rise again, but he
couldn't fight his way up a second
time, and then he abandoned the
struggle. He twisted about till one
hand found his hip pocket. He with
drew it quickly, raised it toward the
crowd above him and from the revolv-
er which he gripped there came IL shot.
Caught by Their Mates.
Instantly the throng rushed toward
the door. Lynch, clear Of his assail-
ants, staggered to his feet and made
after the men. All were in the street,
but before all could make Off other
longshoremen from the Auguste Will
helms pier came running to see what
had caused the shot. They grabbed
some Of the fleeing men, and Lynch,
close on the heels Of the fugitives,
grabbed the man who had felled him
with the bale hook.
The men were dragged across the
street to pier Ga, where the Anchor
liner Caledonia lay, and there Lynch's
prisoner collapsed on the floor. A doc
tor found that Lynch's bullet had
struck the man two inches above the
heart and that his condition was crit
zeal. He said he was John McArdle,
q longshoreman. He was formally ar
raSfpd for assault on LYNCH and than
was hurried to the New York hospital
in charge of n policeman. The other
prisoners were locked up. Lynch was
put under technical arrest. He was
badly bruised from the beating he had
received, but was otherwise unhurt.
The bale hook had missed his skin by
something lass than an inch.

Since the elephants digestive func'

asked him to run for the Legislature.
He was elected by a big majority and
the following campaign they asked
him to run again and this time he was
the only man elected on the ticket. He
was elected for the third time, last
fall, by n big majority, and he said
probably the idea to run him for con-
gresham came from this. He said
further that the question was whether
or not we should send a Democrat TO
Congress. He stated that in Washing
ton county he found the Progressive
sentiment was changing strongly for
him. In Harrington, he said, he met
former State senator and a leader
of the Roosevelt campaign, who told
him that he should stand for the Re
pubiicans and this man further SAID
that he went to other places IN the

1t was also announced by Secretary
Bryan that Mr. Lind would not ar
rive at Vera Cruz, before Saturday eve
ming. Secretary Daniels of the navy
department explained in this connec.
ton, that while the hattleship New
Hampshire could make the trip from
Galveston to Vera Cruz in 336 hours,
minimum time, her ordinary time for
the journey would be about SO or 60
hours, and indicated that the admin
istration did not regard Mr.. Lind g
mission as necessarily requiring great
haste.
Some officials saw an advantage in
proceeding slowly, however, SO as to
afford the Huerta administration an
opportunity to become more fully ac-
quainted with the purposes Of Mr.
Llnd's visit than they have been hith-
erto. Administration officials take the
position that objections to Mr.. Linds
presence in Mexico are unwarranted
as the general public is not acquainted
with the proposals which he carried
nor the method by which he intended
to submit them.
On Mr.. Lind's arrival these propos-
ais will be made public in Mexico City
and Washington simultaneously and
transmitted here to all the foreign
governments represented in the United
