lean family failed scrupulously to OBJ
serve the etiquette relating to the asso-
citation Of young persons of opposite
sex which has always been in vogue in
Europe. The count. by asking for the
hand Of Miss Durand. seemed to indi-
cate that his intentions were perfectlv
honorable.
One precaution, however. was not
taken. While the Durands had evil
dence that Count Stremoff held the
rank. the position and the wealth to
which he pretended. they had no in
formation as to his character. This is
the rock on which SO many American
girls abroad, in making matrimonial
contracts, have been wrecked. Once

any attention to what he is in himself.

Count Stremoff being a Russian. any
marriage he might make was amena-

ly required that a marriage should
tax place in the Russian or Greek
church and in accordance with its
ceremonies. There was no Russian
church on the Riviera, and it was ar
ranged that the couple be married at
the consulate. The wedding took place,
putting Miss Durand in the paradox

HelOiSe
Durand
She Became an Object
For National Pro-

By MARIAN KNOX

The Riviera is a favorite place for
the %aristocracy of Europe to winter.

glad to escape the snow and ice and
cold winds of that bleak empire. Nice.
Mentone and other points on the Medi-
terranean sea are during the months Of
December. January and February
thronged with people, who find there
both a balmy climate and gayety.
About the middle of the nineteenth
century an American girl gifted not
only with beauty. but a remarkable
h%istrionic genius, seventeen years old.
was visiting the Riviera with her
mother and brother. One afternoon
while walking on the promenade on
the Mediterranean shore the party met
among the throng of idlers a tall, hand
some young man whose light hair and
blue eyes marked him for a north
rner. AS he passed the girl his gaze
was fixed upon her with admiration,
while she lowered her gaze to the
ground.
These two We're real personages. but
since this is q story rather than an ac-
count we will call the girl Heloise
Durand and the man Count Stremoff.
The latter was a young Russian. a
member of one Of the most aristocratic
families OF st. Petersburg. He lost no
time in discovering who was the girl of
such striking appearance he had met
and in looking for some one to intro
duce him to her.
He was successful in making her ac-
quaintance. and then began q court
ship which would likely have but one
ending for SO young a girl courted by q
nobleman handsome as q picture and
possessing the NEST charming man
ners. Satan is pictured with cloven
feet and a d~isagreeable c~ountenance.
But his most effective work is done
under the guise Of beauty. The two
listened to the music to be enjoyed at
Nice, ~promenaded on the sea walk and
were together in sailing parties on the
blue waters of the Mediterranean.
And all this while the count was pour
ing into her ear his tale Of love.
The Durands were satisfied that the
counts position was all he claimed it
to be, and since Heloise was of an age
when a girl is easily won she was not

MODERATION AND LONGEVITY

Lord Strathcona, Dead at Ninety-three.
Practiced Regularity and Ease.
The late Lord %Strathcona. for the
last eighteen years high commissioner
of the Dominion of Canada. had cul-
tivated the habit Of doing business
with regularity and ease. This habit
was one of the secrets of his success
and enabled him to live three lives
the life Of a pioneer in the frozen
wilderness. the life Of a nation builder
on the prairies and the life of a
statesman. 1t kept him in health and
vigor of body and mind at an age
when most meD begin to think seri-
ously of their latter end.
In assiduity and concentration lies
the secret Of success" Lord Strathcona
nee said. ~.
He believed in temperance in all
things, whether eating. drinking or
smoking.

No mar in Mexico's countless rebel.
lions and revolts has gone through a
more complete change of circumstances
than has Pancho Villa in the past year,
and to few men has there been given a
more Kaleidoscope career than this
years of his existence.
Nearly two-thirds Of the Mexican re-
public is in the hands Of the Constitu-
tionalists. General Carranza led the
revolt in the state of Sonora, but al
most all Of the remainder Of the vast
eminent was taken and is held by Gen
eral Pancho Villa. one time bandit.
but now the hero of the Mexican reb-
els. Last March Villa took the field
with a single horse. two sacks Of -four
and nine men: now he has an army
estimated at 10000 men. many Of
them mounted and we'll equipped with
fieldpieces.
General Villas triumphs in the past
year is all the more wonderful when
it is considered hat it was done al
most entirely with ammunition and
guns taken from the federals' far
stronger force.
Francisco Villa. or Pancho. as he is
Familiarity called. is an ex-bandlt Of
Chihuahua. He is a little more than
half Indian, with only a smattering of
an education. but he possesses great
fighting ability and personal magnet
ism. which enables him to raise an
army for any purpose he may have.
He is about t~hirty-siX years old and
for the last five years of the Diaz
regime was a prescribed bandit under
sentence of death. When Madero re-
volted against Diaz Villa made his
peace with him. The one thing that
stands to the credit of Villa is that
be is II of the few Mexicans who
have not changed sides in the last two
years. He was grateful to Madero for
rebabilitating him and showed it by
unSwerving devotion.

ROBBERY LAST NIGHT
A. E. Burnett's Jewelry Store Enter
ed and Many Small Articles
Taken

Some one not satisfied with the
generosity of old Santa Claus enter
ed the jewelry store of Mr.. A. E. Bur
nett last night and helped himself to
the contents of his show cases.
Entrance to the store was gained
by prying open the iron shutters on
the south side of the building, break
ing the glass and then unlocking the
window sash.
Mr.. Burnett estimates his loss at
about 800, tho he says it is impos-
sible to know just what is missing
The burglar seemed to have a pen
chant, however, for pearl handled
knives, of which Mr.. Burnett missed
more from his stock than any other
single item. Among the items miss
ed are fountain pens, silver mesh
bags, knives, silver vanity cases and
gold plated articles.
A reward of one hundred dollars is
offered by Mr.. Burnett for the appre-
hension and conviction of the thief
A light is always left burning in
the rear of the store, but this haC
been turned off, thus leaving the place
in darkness while the thief made his
selections. Had he gone to the front
part of the store to get his belatec
Christmas presents, Mr.. Burnett
loss would have been considerably
greater, as the more valuable item:
are kept there, tho the high elias:
goods are locked in the safe at night
1t appears that the thief left viz
the front door, as the window in the
rear had been left partly fastened
from the inside.

ARRESTED A BICYCLE THIEF

Yesterday morning a young man
approached Mr.. Hayes of the firm of
Hayes & Guynn, at their store on n.
Magnolia street, and asked what he
wanted for his bicycle. He was named
price on the wheel, and just at this
time Mr.. Hayes was called inside on
business, and thought no more of the
incident until noon time, when he
wanted his wheel to ride home. He
then discovered that it was gone, and
reported his loss to the police depart
ment.
Officer Koonce at once got busy,
and after examining the roads lead
ing out of town for tracks of wheel
with ridged tires, discovered such
tracks just beyond the fair grounds
on the Martel road. Mr.. Hayes was
notified and in company with the Of
ficer drove his car westward, inquir-
ing as they went along whether the
young man had been seen. Several
parties told of having seen man on
a wheel. and he was finally located at
the residence of Mr.. Parker near
Cotton Plant. where he had arranged
to spend the night.
He was identified by Mr.. Hayes and
confessed to the theft of the bicycle.
He said his anne was Dillon Holder,
aged seventeen. and claimed Trilby
as his home. He was brought to the
city and placed in the county jail to
await trial on a charge of larceny.
