TWO YOUNG GIRLS DEAD;
FATHER HELD BY CORONER

Pensacola, June 29.-Ethel and Ten
ny Fudge, thirteen and nine years old,
girls, were found dead in house on
the outskirts of Pensacola Tuesday
night. Both had been shot through
the heart with a small rife, and a
note near the bodies said they had de-
cided to kill themselves rather than
go to an orphans home. Another note
told their father goodbye, and third
note said he was not to blame.
After the investigation, however,
the coroner had the father, E. j.
Fudge, arrested and held pending de-
velopments in the case. The coroner
contended that while one of the chill
dren might have shot the other, it
would have been impossible for the
other to have shot herself through the
heart owing to the length of the rifle
barrel

night received a report from General
Bell at Ell Paso, stating that Bell had
been notified by the Mexican consul
Garcia that the troopers taken at Car
rial were on their way to Jaurez and
probably would arrive there today.
According to the report which Garcia
received from General Trevino the
prisoners are to be delivered to the
American authorities at once.
There are no indications at army
headquarters that the liberation of
the American troopers captured by
the Mexicans will in any way affect
the movement OF guardsmen to the

Disbelieye Reports
Columbus, July 20. Officers las
night said they were convinced thai
the reports that six Mexicans were
believed to have been the murderers
of William Parker and his wife near

ed that the report is a result of the
first fight between Americans and
a train between Douglas and Hachita.

TWO men KILLED
IN SHOOTING At
A SURPRISE PARTY
WILBUR COOPER OF THIS CITY
is HELD IN COUNTY JAIL
AT CLEARWATER

Two men are dead at Sutherland,
and Constable J. w. Cooper of this
city is a prisoner in the Clearwater
Jail as the result of a shooting affray
at a party given as surprise on one
of the victims last night. The dead
are:
Frank Osborn, manager of the Skim
ner farm, located less than two miles
4 south of Sutherland.
Pent Curl, employee of the Skin
ner farm.
Curl was killed instantly by a
chance shot, while Osborn died early
this morning after lingering a half
dozen hours with four bullet wounds,
any one of which might of itself have
been fatal.
Family Not At Home
Osborn's wife and children were
visiting relatives at Blanton. Friends
arranged surprise party for last
night, the guests including four auto
loads from Tarpon Springs. Among
the latter was Cooper.
Toward 10 o'clock Cooper and sever
al others were beating on tin pans
and buckets when Osborn requested
less noise. Little attention was paid
to Osborn's request, and he became
emphatic in demanding better order.
Cooper seemed to take the hosts
words as applying particularly to him
self and began haranguing Osborn.
Hot words were passed and Osborn
struck Cooper blow which knocked
him over against the wall. AS Cooper
recovered his feet both men drew re-
volvers and began firing.
E e. Guests Panic StrfSTen
There was wild skirmish for safe
ty on the part of the guests, one of
the women having a little baby in her
arms. The lights went out at the first
shots, adding to the hullabaloo. Os-
born dropped on the second round of
shots but continued firing until his
weapon was empty. Curl, evidently
fleeing from the scene, was struck by
stray bullet behind an ear and he
fell headlong through the doorway,
dead. One of Osborn's shots struck
Cooper's watch, glanced along its face
and penetrated over the point of the
hip, making only superficial wound
When both guns were emptied the
combatants were parted and surgeons
summoned. Drs. A. P. Albaugh and
w. J. Vinson responded from this city.
On their arrival they found Osborn
fatally wounded, one shot having sew
cred the spinal cord, causing paraly-
sis. Three bullets were punched in
the lower left chest, two passing
through the body. Osborn never raj
lied from the shock and loss of blood,
but died after 4 o'clock. Cooper's
wound was dressed and he was taken
to Clearwater.

terre, MarJOry dismissed Marie and buried
her hot face in her hands. She felt like a
cornered thing-a shamed and cornered
thing She should not have given the
name of the hotel She should have
sought Monte and ordered him to take her
away. Only-she could not face Monte
himself She did not know how she was
going to see him to-morrow-how she was
ever going to see him again. Monsieur
and Madame Covington, he had signed
the register. Beatrice must have seen it,
but Peter had not. He must never see it,
because he would force her to confess the
truth-the truth she had been struggling
to deny to herself
She had trifled with holy thing-that
was the shameful truth. She had posed
here as wife when she was no wife. The
ceremony at the English chapel helped
her none. 1t only made her more dis
honest.
The memory of Peter Noyes had
warned her at the time but she had not
listened. She had lacked then some vision
which she had since gained gained
through Monte. 1t was that which made
her understand Peter now, and the WON
der of his love and the glory and sacred
ness of all love. 1t was that which made
her understand herself now
She got to her feet, staring into the dark
toward the sea-shore.
"Monte, forgive me-forgive mel" she
choked.
She had trifled with the biggest thing in
his life and in her life. She shouldered the
full blame. Monte knew nothing either

honest and four-square, living up to his
bargain But she had seen the light in his
eyes-the eyes that should have led him
to happiness. He would have had to go
such little way-only as far as her out
stretched arms.
She shrank back from the window, her
head bowed. 1t had been her privilege
as a woman to be wiser than he. She
should have known Now-the thought
wrenched like physical pain-there was
nothing left to her but remuneration. She
must help him to be free. She must force
him free. She owed that to him and to
herself. 1t was only so that she might
ever feel clean again.
Moaning his name she flung herself
upon the bed. So she lay until summoned
back to life by Marie, who brought her
the card of Miss Beatrice Noyes.
MARJORY took the time to battle her
Az dry cheeks in hot water and to do
over her hair before admitting the girl;
but, even with those precautions, Beatrice
paused at the entrance as if startled by
her appearance.
perhaps you do not feel like seeing
any one tonight, she suggested
IL do want to see you, answered Mar
jory. II want to hear about Peter But
my head-would you mind if we sat in
the dark?'
II think that would be better-if we
are to talk about Peter"
The phrase puzzled Marjory, but she
turned out the lights and placed two
chairs near the open windows.
"Now tell me from the beginning" she
requested.
"The beginning came soon after you
went away replied Beatrice in low
voice.
Marjory leaned back YEARLY. If there
were to be more complications for which
she must hold herself accountable she

nodded Beatrice.
"Not my heart-just my eyes" re-
turned Marjory.
"Your heart too" insisted Beatrice;
"for it's only through your heart that you
can open Peters eyes,"

"You don't know how much," went on
the girl excitedly. "None of us knew how

cause he would not talk-because he kept

that it was overwork and worry, and that
he had only one chance in hundred. But

and coaxed him back. Little by little he
grew stronger all except his poor eyes.
1t was then he told me the truth: how he =

Beatrice was still clinging to her
hands.
NO." she answered quickly. "He did
not blame you. We never blame those

"But we hurt those we Lowell"
"Only when we don't understand You

Mariory withdrew her hands.
"He had no right" she cried
Beatrice was silent moment There
was great deal here that she herself did
not understand. But though she herself
had never loved, there was great deal
she did understand She spoke as if
thinking aloud.

But never thought it was a question of

Marjory drew quick breath
yes; 1t is like that, she admitted. y
ONLY, she was not thinking of Peter
She was thinking of herself. A week =
ago she would have smiled at that phrase.
Even yesterday she would have smiled
little. Love was something a woman or
man undertook at will 1t was con-
dition to choose as one chose ones style of
living. 1t was accepted or rejected, as
suited ones pleasure, IL woman pre-
ferred her freedom, then that was her
right.
Then, less than an hour ago, she had
flung out her hands toward the shadowy
figure of man walking alone by the sea,
her heart aching with great need for the
love that might have been hers had she
not smiled. That need, springing of her
own love, had just happened The full
filment of it was a matter to be decided
by her own conscience; but the love itself
had involved no question of right. She
felt wave of sympathy for Peter She
was able to feel for him now as never be-
fore. Poor Peter, lying there alone in the
hospital! How the ache, unsatisfed, ate
into one.
"Peter wouldn't tell me at first"
Beatrice was running on. "His lips
were as tight closed as his poor bandaged
eyes,
"The blindness" broke in Marjory.
"That is not permanent"

She hurried into her clothes, struggling
nervously with hooks and buttons as if
there were need of haste. Then, throwing
a light shawl over her shoulders, she went
out past Henri, on her way to Monte.
MONTE had been all wrong in his
guesses. She had actually been rum
ming toward him instead of away from
him when, just outside the hotel, she al
most collided with Peter Noyes and his
sister.
Peter Noyes did not see her at first.
His eyes were covered with a green shade,
even out here in the night. But his sister
Beatrice gave an exclamation that brought
him to attention and made him tumble at
the shade as if to tear it off. Yet she had
spoken but one word:
"Marjory!"
She whose name had been called shrank
back as if hoping that the dark would
hide her.
"Marjory!" cried Peter Noyes.
Beatrice rushed forward seizing both
the girls hands.
at is you, she exclaimed, as if Marjory
sought to deny the fact. "Peter-Peter,
it's Marjory Stockholm
Peter stepped forward, his hand out
stretched hesitatingly, as one who can not
see.
Marjory took the hand, staring with
questioning eyes at Beatrice.
"He worked too hard" explained the
latter. "This is the price he paid.
ooh, I'm sorry, Peter!' she cried.
He tried to smile.

answered. Il thought you were in

She spoke nervously.
"Then, he asked, "you-you are to be

Marjory passed her hand over her fore
head
81 don't know" she faltered.
Peter looked so thin! 1t was evident
he had been long i'll. She did not like to
see him so. The shade over his eyes hor-
rified her. Beatrice came nearer.
"If you could encourage him little,
she whispered "He has wanted so much
to see you"
1t was as if she in some way were being
held responsible.

Peter with his haggard, earnest face,
and Beatrice with her clear, honest eyes,

be impossible to make them understand.
They were so American-so direct and
uncompromising about such affairs as
these.
Beatrice had the features of Puritan
maid, and dressed the part, from her Sc
we're little toque, her prim white dress
reaching to her ankles, to her sturdy
boots. Her blue eyes were already grow
ing big at Marjory's hesitancy at answer

had stopped at the d'Angleterre. She
mumbled that name now.
