NUMBEB 1 t Mo rganatic IVJLarnages POLITICAL GOSSIP The announcement is made thut tlie "United States Government will deal strictly -with army officers wli o have married Filipino girl and abandoned them. Commenting on this the Kansas City Journal alludes to the similar treatment of Indian girls by white men in the early settlement of the West���a state of affairs that was not confined to Uncle Sam's territory by any means, but applied to the Canadian North- West and British Columbia also, where there arc to-day hundreds of half breed descendant? of white men'who mado their mark in the connnurcu at id -politics of the country. Says the paper referred to: "There is nothing particularly now in the revelations with respect to the 'morganatie' marriages by American army officers. Before the Civil War it was almost the customary thing fur officers stationed in Washington or Oregon Territory to consort with-Indian girls. AtTacomaor Seattle the visitor often has pointed out to liitn half breeds who bear the name of some ofthe most distinguished Civil War generals, and who are known to be sons or daughters of these officers. It is explained that when these officers were young lieutenants tbey were stationed in the wilds of the ��� North-Wot, far from the society of womeu of their own kind; that they iieeded housekeepers; that it was the custom of the region for white men to consort with Indian maidens; that, according to Indian standards, there was nothing wrong about it, and that from every standpoint it was advantageous to the girl taken for a temporary wife. At the little little town of Puyallup, ten miles from Tacotna, there are two fine-looking men who bear tlie nan e of the general who for a long time was at the head of the quartermaster's department uf the United tStatss army. These men are the sons of tlie general, lie namicd their mother, a Puyallup Indian, when ho was a lieutenant, and stationed at the Puyallup Indian Agency, long before tlie Civil War. Jn latter years he married an American woman in the far East, and reared a family, But he did not abandon his family on the Pacific Coast. His sons were taken past and put through one of the leading colleges. He frequently visited them, and openly acknowledged them. On one occasion, at least, he was accompanied by his wife, who seemed to know the circumstances, and to have aeeepted them philosophically. His Indian wife lived for some years after he had married -his American spouse, though he never visited her. But old-timers about Tacotna will tell the visitor how lie made her old age comfortable while caring as a father should for the sons." L P, ocal and JTrovincial A safe index to the prospects of a country ia the hotel register, If the register shows an increase in arrivals, it Is reasonable to assume that interest in the country is growing. .Especially is this the case, when the autographs are those of representatives of coniriiereial establish liieiits. The wholesale man is ever on the Jookout for new fields for the expansion of his business, and as a general'thing can guago to a demonstration, the trade future of any locality. This being the case, Nelson is now on tlie eve of a tremendous revival in business. The hotel registers show the arrivals of a large number or traveling meu this week, included in. which are the representatives of many of the leading wholesale linns in Canada. These men aro unanimous in expressing the opinion thut every place in the interior visited gives unmistakable evidence of renewed activity, aud that merchants are buying --more^fr.eely^thanjthey havedoueatany time in the past four years. Not only are the hotels.well patronized by the knights ofthe grip; but the mining industry is also well represented. The recent rich discoveries throughout the district and the disposition on the part of the government to encourage the staple product of the country is again attracting the attention of the men who have money to invest in mining ventures, and within a few months the province will again be enjoying pros- freight rates were a material detriment to the progress of the country, prices thus being being forced up to a fictitious value and out of all proportion'to intrinsic values. As far as lie could ascertain, the Federal authorites had not manifested "any disposition to remedy, the grievance. Great dissatisfaction still existed in respect to the Treadirbld concession, and doubt is expressed as to whether the commission sent to investigate the matter will have all objections removed. The mass of the people consider the concession as most unjust in every way. Laborers in the Yukon mines are still getting ��� good wages for a few mouths in the year. Mr. Bowes will reside iu San Francisco in future. At Anaconda, B. C, on Saturday of last week, Mrs. Mosc Chambers died, tho cause of her death being a severe hemorrage. The deceased lady was 59 years of age. She was a native of Os- 'prey7=0nte^and="live<l"^iii"-=the="Cf:Hltcdi States for some time after the death of her husband. About seven years ago she came to Nelson B. C, to join her family and about a year ago she left here to live at Anaconda with her son, Ben Chambers. The real patriots are the ones who contribute towards the upbuilding of their country. Additions to the population mean advancement and pro- .Thc knowledge that the elections will not take place until the last day of October has had a quieting influence on politics. There is a general disposition not to burn all the powder before the time when it cau.be used to best advantage. Nevertheless, the work is going on, especially in getting names on tlie voters' lists. But an analysis of t he lists, so far as Nelson is concerned, reveals nothing as to the relative strength of the parties. The mames 'turned into the collector of votes show that many Liberals have ma��t_ their declaration's before Conservatives .authorized to take them, aud the same as regards Conservatives before Liberals. The men wanting their names on the lists did not pay any attention with respect to the politics of those before whom they make their declarations, so there is no information to be gained from this source. No doubt the same method was pursued all over the province. But apart froni this the candidates present and prospective are getting their fences iu shape. At the coast no new names are mentioned this week, but coming nearer the interior the crop is increasing. InYinir district, it is understood that Mining Recorder Wright will seek nomination in the Conservative interest. AL Parr will undoubtedly be his opponent. In Nelson Mr. Taylor is trying to convince the voter that the salvation of the country depends upon sending a liberal to the Legislature, while Mr. Lennie is equally industrious in persuading the voter that the Conservatives will win everywhere, and that under the circumstances it would he better to send a man to the const in sympathy with the government It is needless to say that both men have their champions, but to many it seems as if Mr. Lennie had considerably the best of it. adopt to get the largest following. According to the Ashcroft Journal the Liberals are sadly demoralized as far as union is concerned. It is stated that J. D. Prentice will be a candidate in tho Lillooet electoral district. Hon. R.: F. Green,;hns nothing to fear from, the Kaslo ridjiig,. It Avould not be surprising if he secured his election by acclamation. An effort is being made to induce John L. Retalliek to accept the Liberal nomination, but so far he has declined. The Kamloops ���' SStaudard says : ���' While the Liberals in this riding have as yet made no choice from among the several candidates offering themselves as a sacrifice in the party Interests, the Conservatives have already chosen a standard bearer. Mr. F. J. Fulton will be the unanimous choice of the convention and'his election will follow as a matter of course over any candidate chosen as the Liberal nominee, whether that candidate bean outsider or a local man. ". J. M. Kellie will contest Revelstoke in the Liberal interest against Tom Taylor or Arthur Johnson. If a Joseph Martin candidate appears on the scene in Rossland, Smith Curtis will reconsider his determination not to run, and get into the fight. iraer is the latest mentioned candidate for the honor, He is a civil engineer, assayer and provincial land surveyor. He lived at Vernon a number of years, but is now a resident in this constituency." With two Liberals in the field, Rossland should be easy for the Conservatives. The Conservatives of Fort Steele held a meeting last Thursday night at the Masonic Hall. There was a good attendance. A. B. Grace, in the absence of President T. T. McVittie, took the chair. The election of officers resulted as follows: T. T. McVitte, president; J. A. Harvey, 1st vice presseent; J. His- iop, 2nd vice president; G. F. Carter, secretary; F. Bin more, treasurer. Fernie Liberals have decided to call a district convention ntnri early date. There is considerable truth in the following from the New Westminster Columbian: "Revelstoke, the gateway of the Kootenay, has given Premier McBride a most enthusiastic reception. The sentiment appears to be the same throughout the Province that at last we have a Government of and for the people." The Kamloops district voters' list is very gradually approaching a total of 000, which will seemingly not be exceeded by more than a hundred or thereabouts. J. H. Hawthornthwuite has been.on the Crow's Nest line this week, organizing for a Socialist campaign. He addressed a fairly large crowd at Fernie on Thursday evening. The political pot is beginning to simmer throughout the Cariboo district. There are eighteen possible aspirants mentioned and no doubtthey have all. got their little crowd of admirers. Between party lines and crown grant lines it is pretty hard to tell what policy to The Conservatives of Revelstoke ha ve organized with the following officers: Honorary president, Hon. IV. McBride; president, F. II. Young; first vice president, R. Gordon; second vice president, VV. M. Newman; secretary-treasurer, C. M. Field. The executive will not be concluded till next meeting. Harry Wright seems to have finally detei mined to take a flyer at Ymir in the Conservative interest. The Similkameen Star says: " It appears to be fairly well settled that L. V. Shatford, of Fairview, will be offered the Conservative~nomination "of'itliis" riding, but who the Liberal nominee will be is still doubtful. F. H. Lat- i_ In its last issue The Economist, in the course of a reply to a base attack from the Tribune, referred incidentally to the methods ofthe editor of that paper in his desperate efforts to keep himself before the public. The reply wasa true reflection of the man, and so faithful was the portrait to the original, the Victoria Times reproduced the greater portion of it last Tuesday. This appears to have aroused the ire of John Houston, and in a long rambling article,whieh emphasizes the worst that has ever been thought of him, makes an attempt at reply. No serious notice would be taken oi John Houston's puerile defense of himself, did he not brazenly presume to speak for a party, the great majority of the" members of which openly repudiate any political affiliation with the editor of a paper which only speaks for one roan, and that man a political Ishmaelite, who openly avows his envy and hatred of the Conservative leaders.. The truth ofthe matter is, notwithstanding his efforts to make it appear _otherwlse, Houston could not be elected a pound- keeper in Nelson to-day, no matter how generally it may be conceded that he possesses the peculiar qualification required to faithfully perform the duties of that office. Houston is politically dead, and is only interesting as a subject for the dissecting table. He has no licence to speak for Conservatives, in any event for those members of the party, who are as 10 to 1, whom he has so persistently maligned during the -past six years. Tire Economist does not undertake t"say in what political party John Houston should be classed, but it has a suspicion that he fulfills in many respects the popular fancy of au anarchist; but in giving lTubiien^t^tins=tTfer^ cast harsh reflections on the exponents o f that advanced school of thought.

Coast papers comment on Nelson's remarkable maintenance of order, as evidenced by the fact that during the twodays,' celebration not a single arrest was made of anybody for even the slightest breach of peace or other delinquency.' The fact of the matter is Nelson has the best police force of nny eity of its sizeiu the Dominion. may he said that the women of Nelson are patriotic iu an eminent degree. Mrs. Carlyle Says the Devil You Know is Preferable to the Devil You Don't Know. In the shuttle caused by the resignation of Mr. Blair, it appears lo be generally understood that Senator Timii- pleman will got the department of Marine and Fisheries. The appointment would meet with popular approval in British Columbia. J. H.

Hestutud that much machinery had been brought in this year, aud that more luwer grade properties were being worked. Everything was being brought clown to a more reasonable basis, so far as living expenses were concerned. There was some diversity of opinion as to whether the output would exceed or be less than tbat of last year. The exorbitant Mr. D. It.

This will deal the reminiscences of early theatrical days iu the province. The revived Carlyle-Froude controversy is the absorbing topic of discus-; slon in London literary circles, and speculation is active as to what the final shot to bu fired by the Carlyle family this month will be. Among the literary people who personally knew the inside of the Carlyle menage it is commonly said that tlie whole truth, including the real motive for Froude's unsparing treatment of Carlyle, has never been told. It is also asserted that Froudc was in | love with Mrs. Carlyle nnd did all in ! his powor to induce'her to h-iive her. husband and institute suit to have tliej marriage annulled, which medical lesti-j inony could have easily sustained, and ; marry him. I At one time Froudo had very nearly ������ induced Mrs. Carlyle to follow this ��� con 1 se, it is said, and he Jiueiili\jiis in his last published papers that she was on the verge of leaving Carlyle. But it is averred that, with cliarncter- istic point, she remarked to her friend Geraldine Jewsbury that, "After all, Lhe devil you know is better than the devil you don't know," and she decided io remain with Carlyle.

I can also bear testimony to the efficiency of Sam Kee as a wood-sawyer, who for several months during the past year divided with me his -time in my former favorite occupation of "sawing wood."

Looking c elebrated V^ase c The Hopper-Dunsmuir case, before . the courts at Victoria last week, revealed some family history, of which the public had no knowledge. It was a surprise to many that Sir Richard Musgrave, who is married to a sister of James Dunsmuir, had joined hands with Bliss Hopper in the litigation, and had important evidence to give in the case. According to the Vancouver Prov- iuce, there has been aii estrangement for some time between James Dunsmuir on the one hand, and his mother, Mrs. Joan Dunsmuir, and his sisters on the other hand. These lat- ter are now seeking to become parties to tlie action, and are joining hands with Miss Hopper, as they believe they have not received justice from their brother. Mrs. Calthorp, one of the Dunsmuir sisters, who is the wife of the attache of the British Embassy at St. Petersburg, will likely be sent for to give evidence, as well as one of the other sisters, the wife of Sir Richard Musgrave, before mentioned, who is now in England. This is one of the reasons why the prosecution asked for the adjournment, till October. The prosecution promises some more sensational evidence if these witnesses are secured, and threatens to involve other members of the family bosides the ex- Premier. Apparently an effort is being made to show that the deceased Alexander Dunsmuir was not capable of making a will. To disprove this, President Howard, of the Western Fuel Company, was examined. He testified that in the fall of 1809 he had bought fifty thousand tons of coal from James and Alexander Dunsmuir, and that the latter at that time was perfectly fit to transact business. This was practically all the evidence songh.C from him. There is also an element of romance in the case. It is stated on excellent authority that Miss Hopper has' not only her own means to rely upon in this suit, but that she has the backing of certain people who are in tbesuit for sentimental reasons. She is reputed to be en gaged to be married to a sou of Senator Elklns. Her fiance is head of the Metropolitan Street Railway Com- pau'y of New York. Color is lent to the story by the fact that ber attorney, who accompanies her, is Judge Coyne, who is solicitor of the company., mentioned, and whose fees, it is said, are being met by Mr. Elklns. Where all parties to the suit are so wealthy, there is no doubt that the prediction of a long aud bitter fight is well founded.' N ews of the M ines is ai ot bei It would surprise many to learn the quantity of strawberries tbat has been shipped to the Territories this year by ranchers in the vicinity of Nelson. This is an industry that has grown to marvellous proportions within the last year or so.

With this issue Thk Nelson Economist enters upon its seventh year, and is now the oldest continuous publication in the commercial capital of the Kootenays. When this paper was stated six years ago, there were two weekly papers in Nelson���the Miner and the Tribune. Within a few months the Miner became a daily and shortly afterwards the Tribune started a daily edition. After more or less success in standing off the sheriff for ��� four year.", the Miner went under the hummer and passed into the hands of Mr. Deane, who terminated its existence, and in its place gave us the Daily News, a publication which is. said.to be now making money for its owner. TheTribunc had a similar experience- to the Miner, and finally petered out Jn February of last year. Some mouths later another.paper, also called tho Tribune, was started, and is still being issued. It will thus be-seen that Tun Economist was very fortunate to survive while those other ..publications went to the wall. It !(can be claimed for this paper that it has held its own since its inception,- and /.while it Inw not made a fortune for its publisher, it has never failed to provide him with three sqnare meals per day, 7: 1 .. -..- ������ *��� '-. .- ������ .' ���' ���' '.; nnd perhaps a littlo belter. It lias not changed its politics, and its publisher can turn over the files of his paper without fear of encountering anylliing that he would not say over nguhi. The Economist may not have been right always, but it has never been a " wobbler." There will be a few improvements in the paper this autumn, arrangements; now being made for a type-setting machine, which will permit of an increase, to three times the present size with scarcely any additional expense. Mr. David Bogle recently informed us that tha present member for Nelson has made many sacrifices for the party. As no date was speciiied we have no idea what party was meant. But if the learned editor would gallon some of thatgcntlcman's friends and victims he might learn of sacrifices made for as well as by our member. Are our friends the Liberals going to conduct the whole campaign wiihout a leader? Will their manifesto bein the nature of a round robin?. If they cannot agree on any leader now, what would they do if some unkind freak of fate placed Ihem in power? There is some wisdom in it however; thoy.seem to know that they have no available leader wiiose name would add any strength to their poor cause. It is reported from Ottawa that the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench caused by the death of Justice Armour is likely to be offered to Chief Justice Hunter, the best qualified western man for the exalted office. Chief Justice Hunter's departure from this province would be deeply regretted. He has made for himself a name that has neve been approached by another judge in Britisli Columbia. I.s your name on the voting list? If not, you cannot vote at the coming election. The Dominion flections will be conducted on the provincial voters' li-sts, and the Viotoria Times, which is supposed to be gifted with the spirit of prophesy, says there will be a federal general election before there shall be another opportunity for a revision of the lists. Thus everyone whodssircs to vote at the next Dominion election should sec to it at once that his name i.s on the list. Not for four years has there been as much enthusiasm over -mining prospects in British Columbia as at the present time. No doubt tlie bounty ou lead has much to do with ��� this revival _iu-interest,but_the-receut^rich:i(li.'jcu\^, overies in various districts is the primary cause. Particularly |s this industrial activity manifest in the Lurileau district,, where hundreds sire ruslihig in daily. Nelson merchants aid reaping a rich harvest as a result of the discoveries in the La rdoiiu; one day this Week there were sixteen wagons at one time at the wharf loaded with goods for shipmen11o Trail t Lakc Tlie fact that at the meeting of the Liberals at Victoria much attention was given to the sleight of hand feats of an imported conjurer, induces the belief that the ballot-box stuffing tricks so prevalent in Ontario arc to be repealed in British Columbia. In Ontario the Grits engaged sleight of hand performers from all over, and it is suspected that a dozen or so of . those presligiators may he imported'for the forthcoming elections in this province. IJ. J. Perry, than whom there is no more versatile politician in British Columbia, is now making speeches Audio Liberals at the coast. 13. J. is a man of gieat^'inUoocnce" and an as siduous worshipper at the shr ne of Joseph Martin. the State of Washington, his time being divided between the lecture platform and editorial work on a Seattle paper. After the death ofthe late Henry Lawson, Mr. Lugrin became editor of the Victoria Colonist, a position which he held until a disagreement arose between the editor and Mr. Dunsinuir as to the conduct of the newspaper. When he retired from the Colonist he transferred his political allegiance to the Liberal party, a shift which meant about as much to Mr. Lugrin as a change of wearing apparel does to the ordinary man. He i.s tho most prolific writer in British Columbia to-day, and his product reads well. Our New Stock of ^ ***�� The elevation of Sir Edward Levy Lawson, editor and proprietor of the London Telegraph, to the peerage, gratifies an earnest ambition that has long been cherished by the owner of the newspaper of largest circulation in London. The proprietors and editors of most ofthe leading Loudon dailies have been created baronets from time to time, and knighthoods have been granted to the editors of the principal provincial dailies. The one conspicuous exception to this custom applies to ths editors and owners of the Loudon Times, easily the greatest and most influential paper in Great Britain. No less than three oilers of a peerage have been made to them, and the offers havo invariably been declined with thanks. This is to be reckoned a rather proud distinction for the Times. It relieves it of the appearance of wearing anybody's collar but its own. Robert Thorns, who is running as :i labor candidate in Winnipeg, in his address to the people, states that the fact that he has so far kept out of gaol, "may be set down either to the inadequacy of the police force or to my good conduct." ^ 53 3S1 y& Am Limited FOR HOME USE In our many years' experience as practical druprgists we have learned to prepare a number of different family remedies, some of which we have now been selling for ten years -=^j or more to our customer?.

When I got George's letter telling me that all was now ready for our ro- option and wo were to como at once, 3 was delighted. Within a week we��� inothcJ aud I���were on our way oat ��uid in about threo weeks' time found ourselves between the swampy shores oi the Essequibo, uearing Georgetown, ���where on tho quay tho dear fellow was ���waiting to take us up to tho home he had mado for us on his plantation. George Haden and I had met a year before during his visit to tlio old country, and the big, quiet, sunburned man aud I, who tell this story, hud fallen iu lore with ono another almost at first sight. We were to havo been married before ho returned to Guiana, but ho was re- culled suddenly by tlio death of his only brother at Rio, and it was arranged I Bhould follow later with mother. You can, or, rather, you can't, im- agiue how delighted I was to seo my sweetheart again. But I was startled and a good deal troubled by his appearance. Ho looked thin and worried. At first I put it down to his griof at Harry's death, but later, after our quiet wedding, ou the way to my future home, 1 gathered by degrees there was moro than that. Hia brother Harry had married a Spaniard, a beautiful woman, "who had died nearly IS years before, leaving hiiii with one daughter, Toresa. It was chiefly on this girl's account that George had Imrricd back, and ho had mentioned iu writing to me that ho laid brought lier tip from Rio to stay with him in Guiana until other arrangements could lie made. Since thou I had heard little of her and almost indeed, in my own lutppiness and excitement, forgotten her ���very existence. Now my questions elicited from Georgo that she was not a pleasant tempered yotuig woman or easy to get on "with, but my worst anticipation did not touch, tho reality. We came up the river in a small uteamer, which dropped us at my hus- T)iuid's very -wharf, and wo three walked up a, slope through a wonderful tropica] garden to where a long,.whitewashed, green shuttered house shono eleau and "bright in the evening sun. On the veranda stood a tall figuro in a. pale yellow gown, her blaok hair crowned with crimson hibiscus���a splendidly htiudsomo woman I She looked at me in a half disdainful way. "So you're my new aunt?" sho said casually. "And how do you do, Uncle George?" Her calm assumption of superiority was unbearable. George���big, steady, good tempered man that ho was���flushed with anger. Ho whispered to me: "Never mind, my dear. Sho knows uo better, and it won't bo for long." But it was for longer than wo reckoned. Sho was to. havo been,sent to hei godmother, who lived in Madrid, but the old lady was ill and bogged us to keep the girl awhilo longer, It was trying to a degrco and each' day got worso and worse. Teresa's temper was something unbearable and her general lacic of manners only equaled by her sweetness when there was anything to bo gained by it. Still, for my husband's sake, I boro with her. Toward the end of tho cool weather onr old English overseer died, and, as a stop gap, Georgo took on a young Span- Isli-Americau, Ramon Martinez. Ramon was a smart looking follow, but there was something iu his black eyes which repelled me. I always felt a shrinking repulsion for tlio man, and "Georgo didn' tearotnuchfor -him;.���Still" It was necessary to havo some one who understood the sugar, and men wliokuew anything were so scarce you couldn't pick aud choose. Teresa, who loved the cheap gayeties of Rio, had been simply bored to death all tho winter. Ramon was a, godsend to her, aud the two used to chut ia Spanish every evening over tlieir coffee ou tho veranda. Sometimes I blauio myself for letting them be so much together, but to tell ihe truth tho relief of getting rid of her even for au hour or two was very great Aud how could I know what ti scoundrel tho man was or what unspeakable wickedness thoso two were brmviug together? Aud now I must pass over tho events cf tho nest ton mouths and tell you what happened ou thut dreadful day which so nearly proved fatal to all my happiness. Old Juan, a half casto Indian employee on tho,3place, came up that morning, wanting to see my husband. They tallied for a time, and thou I saw Georgo go out with a giui on Ids shoulder. Ho saw mo at the window aud called out something, but I could not hear what ho said. Ho was a keen collector, and i supposed it was some raro bird or beast he was af tci\ Tho flay passed, and tho short, topical twilifiht was closing over the- forest ���ft-run I saw Georgo returning. He was followed by two negroes, who slowly dragged some long, heavy object up tho path to tho house. This they pulled aloug, trailing in the dust, round to tho south end cf tho house, where <3cor��j��'s big so called study, really a sort of museum, opeucd by two French -windows ou tlie lawn. I was diessiug for 8 o'clock dinner, 50 did not go out. Soon Ilieard George's long stride puss up stairs by my door to his dressing room, which lay beyond _ my room at tho extreme north end of' the house. To make you understand what, followed 1 must partly explain how the house was built. It was from north to south, long and narrow, with a veranda all the way round. A Avido hall ran through from east to west aud a loug narrow ono from north to south. Tho dining room -was tho front room at the north end, under my room; George's study at the south, under tho room To- rcsa occupied. There wero two staircases, ouo at each'eud of tlio house, A couple of hundred yards a^-ay, higher ap the slope at tho back of the house, was the cottage where Marri.nu/, lived," Ho, Martinez, generally dined with us iuicI was to have dono so this night. Now, so far as I know aud judging from what wo made out after jvitrd from letters wc discovered in the cottage nml in Teresa's room, this i.s what brought about the tragedy that followed: Ramon must loug hoforo this ha^'o made up his mind to marry Teresa. lies'" small fortune was an irresistible bait ti: tho indolent southerner. Tho only thing that troubled him was that sho was not of ago for another threo years and Georgo was her guardian and solo trustee. He knew, well enough what George would say or do if ho onco heard of his pretensions. With a man of Riunou's type��� absolutely conscienceless ��� the nest idea was simply to get Georgo out of tho way. Onco get rid of tho uncle, and what was thero to hinder his making off with Teresa and her money? Undoubtedly ho instilled these ideas into Teresa's mind, and she, her sullen temper already aflame at the hint of opposition, was soon ripo for any mischief. Whether this precious pair had already coucooted any dcliuite plan I don't know, but that they were ouly waiting a chance what follows will .p__3__���l____^____.:^^z:j._ __. ^ On this particular evening Teresa had dressed earlier and gone down. lAir some reason, I draft'.know- what, she went to tlie study ai'ul opened the door. A 1-Yeiioh window wasopen, and in the moonlight which had already succeeded the dusk she''.caught"Sight of something moving through it, uiulii- lalingin rustling coils up i'runi the grass beyond. Terrified, she closed the door and stood an instant panting with fright. What was itV Suddenly it Hashed across her. She had just before seen from l.ier window thciiic-n bringing in lioriiiielc'sspoil.u great anaconda, or water boa, tlio largest and most powerful constrictor in the world. This was iLs mate. Her chance had conic. Always, before dinner, lier uncle would go to his room to relch Lho cigar ho lit immediately dinner was over, lie would go once more ���lor Lhe last Lime. How ean 1 imagine her stealing quietly away from the door back with stealthy faolstops up the stairs toiler I'lioni, and silling there watching the cinch, counting every moment till the gong should summon her uncle to his Jatu behind thai closed door. CI- sor and closer crept the hands to S o'clock, ami still sho sat and watched. Suddenly, in the hall below, sounded footsteps across'-thi-. polished boards. Unnaturally loud they seemed'as thoy passed slowly down Lhe passage below. There wusthe sound of a turni'nglatch, an instant's pause, and then���one long, horrible sound, half shriek, half yell. * which-grew shriller, then iiiurHed,and I hen abnipLly ceased. That shriek I heard with almost equal distinctness away at the other end of the "houso...' Even to this day I" can Konielimt'S- hear it, and it comes back to me iu dreadful dreams at night, o r. heard my husband rush-from his room and his Hying feet down (be stairway. Other sounds I hoard���cries of ccti-or aud alarm, nurrying footsteps ana slamming of doors. Then I summoned strength to follow. As I ^an through tho hall two shots rang out in quick succession. A frightful pounding, like a dozen sledge hammers going at once, ensued, aud next I heard a scream of maniacal laughter, and Teresa rushed by mo and out into tho night. The viext thing I remember is Georgo'a voice, in toues of strong command: "Keep hack, Marian 1" he called. "It Is no fit sight for you.'.'; I stood there in the middle of the passage, while around- the: open study door stood a littlo knot of our "black servants. Their faces were ashen with terror, and the whites of their eyes goggled horribly. A thin smoke floated out of the room, and tho keen smell of gunpowder filled tho air. The throbbing beat had almost ceased,, and Georgo passed into the room, while I staggered back, and, sinking into a chair in the hall, fainted dead away. I' need hardly explain what had happened. Tho wretched Ramon had como iu earlier tluin usual to dinner; had, contrary to his usual custom, gone to the study, evidently to l'cavo the passbook ��for the. daj'f-aud had walked straight into tho trap set for another. Thoso horrible coils had crushed him to death long beforo even George eould reach the spot, whilo the great snake, in-its terrible, death agonies, had rent tho wretch's body in a shocking way, leaving it an unrecognizable mass. /! That was what Teresa had seen. Tha shock ao doubt had crazed her. When sho ran out, she went straight to tha river, at least wo suppose so, for w�� never saw anything of her again. There are alligators in those waters. Since then my husband and I have almost forgotten the tragedy. Wo aro very happy aJ'.-.uo toa-ei-.hp.riu oiu-suiuiy tropas home. G. A.
