Thursday morning, however, Charles found that his joints were a little stiff and that his legs and a point on his fore- head were swollen. He will remain away from school a day or two. ’ Car No. 35 of the O'Fallon Park di- vision, Motorman John Oates, was going south past the residence of Joseph Cappels, 1212 North Sarah street, about 4 o'clock. ‘he car was moving Smee ei there be- ing no passengers to get on or off at Cook avenue, 160 feet away. Just as it sped past Cook avenue a man on the sidewalk shouted to the motorman: “Stop that car!’ The motorman stopped it, for the man was pointing to the fenders Oates saw a little hand waving up at him. When the car came to a standstill a score of spectators, who had been horrified at seeing a boy ney ft to the fender, rushed forward. They lifted the top section of the fender. which is of the double auto- matic make used on all Suburban cars, and lifted the boy out. Charles was clinging to the top section of steel bars with a tenacious grip, while his body rested upon the lower section. His rescuers were compelled to unclasp his fingers, so tight was their hold. n0ugh the spectators expected to find him maimed, he stood up without assist- ance when taken out. “He ain't got no injuries,’’ remarked one of the men. “You mean to say,” replied the Rid- dick School pupil, “‘he hae no injuries.’ ” Charles is something of a grammarian. He is also about the coolest specimen of béyhood in peril that has come to light in St. Louls these many days. he y never whimpered. He used to play foot- ball with a juvenile nine at his school.

Cardwell named the amount to the cor- respondent of the Post-Dispaton at noon today. ‘What were the circumstances spi ing the deal?” agked the It is known that a list of leading ques- . tions had been prepared to put to Mr. Gel- | bert. Among them was this: ‘“FHiow much did the St. Louls Transit Co, give to elect the Democratic state ticket, and was not the donation made during the ‘time when the transit company was run-. ning cars with detectives armed with re- peating rifles, detectives who shot men dead in the street?

Under the circumstances I con- cluded that there was nothing further for me to gain in prosecuting the fight.” “At what time of day was it when you accepted?’ - “Shortly after 9 o’clock,”’ said Cardwell. “Did the man ‘Brown’ then pay you the money ?”” ‘No, he went out and said he would be back about 11 o'clock. He came back be- tween 11:30 and 12 o’clock and paid me the money in my office.’ “Was anybody except you two in room ?"’ “No, there was no witness,’ replied Cae well. “Did he say who he represented, or from whom the money came?”’ “No, he said he was authorized to make a settlement.”’ “Didn't he mention the Republic in con- nection with the settlement?’’ “No, I don’t think he did. I don’t remem. ber whether he said he represented the Ke- public or not.” “And you say he sali his name was Brown?” “That was the name he gave me.” “Did you know the man?’ “Never saw him before in my life.” “Don’t you remember having seen, him in Jefferson City. at the Madison House?’ asked the correspondent. “No, I do not,” said Cardwell. “But you have qa well defined suspicion who the man is?” “No, sir; I don’t know where he lives or anything about him; never saw him be- fore."’ “In what denomination or form was the money paid you?” Cardwell smiled when the payment was mentioned. the “Really, I don’t remember, but I know there were several cold, crisp thousand dol- lars. The man was of medium height and weight and haéa@° a4 sandy mustache.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 12.—The ‘‘Card- Well case’’ grew out of statements made in the &. Louis Republic about Cardwell by Sam Cook, secretary of state. . O. Cardwell, a former member of the Legislature, sued the Republic for $60,0U0 for publishing a letter written by Sam 3B. Cook, secretary of state. Mr. Cook was chairman of the Democratic state central committee when Mr. Cardwell was in the Slature. At the Jackson Club banquet at the Centropolis Hotel, Cardwell said that bills nst corporations were stopped in th slature by the state committee @ corporations contributed to the State campaign fund. Mr. Cook answered saying that Cardwell's statements were o epratesy and enavestGediy false. He also said Cardwell was the willing. tool of the chief lobbyist of the state and the most cor- rupt.one. These two things Cardwell relied on chiefly to make his case. He alleged that Mr. Cook told him the state commitiee ot od of its campaign funds vy suppress- ng legislation hostile to-.corporations and he tried to find out in court whether that Was true, and if not where campaign funds _do come from. The:suit was filed-soon after the publi- cation of Mr. Cook's letter. It seemcd perme enough until Frank Walsh began Sitions of Democratic party seaders, officials and members of the state committee. Then came the disclosure of ractices in connection with state legisla- fon which threatened not only to disrupt he state committee, but to overthrow tNe power of the Democratic leaders. This is Why Cardwell won so easy a victory. The depositions were taken before Albert Ott, a nolary of Independence, and many witnesses were examined. The most ini- ortant witnesses were Sam B. Cook and on V. Stevens, ex-governor of the state. The testimony of ex-Gov. Stephens that Seibert went about from county to county and gave beer money and other corporauon money to candidates for the legislature ex- lains why new members went to Selbert or advice when they reached. Jefferson City and why the man Seibert supported for speaker was invariably elected. It was common talk that the committees of the legislature of 1899 were appointed in Sei- bert’s office and the list that went to the typewriter to be prepared for the public was in Selbert’s handwriting, and John H. Carroll knew all about them. James Monroe Seibert, for four years State treasurer and for 12 years state audit- or, and now chairman of the Democratic state central committee and excise com- sioner. of the city of St. Louis, was the man ‘whose explanation was looked for with ‘interest, but he refused to come here to testify. There was a disposition of the witnesses to dump ayer ine on Seibert. It went so far that Col. Phelps felt sorry ped him, as did a good many other a. nm the natural order of things eibert ehould have testified, but Seibert did not Want to and neither did Col. Phelps. - am Cook, while on the witness stand, testified in part as follows: “I was chairman in 1896," he said. ‘“‘and Col. Phelps gave me his check for’ $100. Afterwards we needed $2000 Phelps paid it. Col, Carroll had paid- $1000 in the part raiged-for Gov. Stephens. When it came for us to file our report ‘a personal friend of Gov. Stephens came to me and. on behalf of the epverner. asked that. the given by Col. Phélps be entered as ing been givén. eone elbe. At the request of Col.

TRANSIT C0, Refusal to Accept Transfers the Basis e of Two Suits—Complainants Ejected From Cars. Two judgments were rendered in the Cir- cult Court Wednesday against’ the St. Louis Transit Co. One was in favor of Capt. Patrick J. Carmody, for $1002, and sry other for $750, in favor of Alice Bress- Both sults grew out of the refusal of transit company conductors to accept transfers. The episode in which Capt. Carmody fig- ured occurred on the Broadway line last May. The conductor refused a transfer, claiming that it was torn. Capt. Carmody refused to pay another nickel and the con- ductor said he would put him off. He called other employes to his assisiance and assumed’ threaictii ge a isitua s. but. Car- mody stood his ground. When Soulard street was reached a policeman was called and jy eed was arrested. Mrs. Bressier was ejected from an Eighth street car because her transfer was for Highteenth street. She testified that she had asked for the proper transfer and that it Was the conductor's error that she failed to receive one. i The Little Man With the Big Voice at Union Station Announces the “Katy Flyer.” “A-l-1 a-b-0-a-r-d!!!

HAVE 20,000 MEN IN THE FIELD They Believe That European Interven- tion Will Come and Are Prepared to Wait for It. LONDON, Dec. 12.—The Pretoria corre- spondent of the Times telegraphs that the Boer force which concentrated under De Wet in the Orange River Colony, and was hovering around the line of block houses between Kronstadt and Lindley, has been broken uD by Broadwood and Byng. Gen. et, ex-President Steyn and about R. hundred men had previously withdrawn south. The military correspondent declares that the statements that the British troops in South Africa are ‘‘stale’’ are untrue. He says, on the contrary, that the men are in splendid condition, and though they would be glad to get home, we ave not lost their zest for fighting. his refers both to the regulars und the volunteers attached to the various battalions. Some colonials recently recruited at South Afri- can seaports are less satisfactory. The correspondent says it is undeniable that the strain on the generals and their staffs is excessive. Many of these officers have worked for twelve hours daily for two years. Lord Kitchener alone seems absolutely imper- vious to wear and tear. Reinforcements to the number of 23,000 would be immensely valuable, says the correspondent, and would render the last stage . ae war rapid and complete.

Sate no particular enmity toward the h nation and rather like the ‘‘khakis,’’ heir one thought is the restoration of their independence under their own flag. Openly they say that when a liberal gov- ernment comes into power they will get justice. The correspondent dwells on the difficul- ties of Lord Kitchener's position. He has 3000 miles of communication to protect. civ- il governments are being re-established. the English population are being brought back and the py families are bein looked after.

SERUM UNTESTED BAVOLD ADMITS Was Given Out to Physicians Before Being Examined. MAYOR WELLS QUESTIONS HIM JANITOR TAYLORS MEMORY FAILS ON SEVERAL POINTS. Ghief Executive Criticises Employe of City Chemist’s Office for His In- definite Testimony—Ravold Will Attend Only asa Witness. Commencing at 8:30 o'clock Thursday ef- ternoon, daily sessions of the tetanus in- quiry commission wit be held in Mayor Wells’ office until all witnesses who can throw light on the cause of the thirteen reoent deaths following the use of infected anti-toxin issued by the city can be ex- aminod. Important facts were established at the second session held Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Amand Ravold, city bacteriologist, who was placed on the witness stand for the. second time, stated that untested se- rum had been given out to physicians. “All anti-toxin was tested,’’ said Dr. Ra- vold, “but not always before distribution. If a call was made for anti-toxin and I knew the character of the horse from which it was drawn, I would distribute it without waiting for the. tests.”’ Dr. Ravold’s definite admission as to the distribution of uninfected serum related cnly to the serum drawn on Oct. 23. Re- garding the serum of Sept. 30, he said that it had been distributed, if at all, without hs authority. “You testified before the coroner that you ware certain none of the Sept. 80 serum was distributed,’’ said Mayor Wells. ‘‘Now you say that it was issued.”’ “The bacteriologists have decided since that time that the Sept. 30 drawing was mixed with that of Aug. 24,"’ replied Dr. Fravold. Questions from the mayor brought out statements showing that Dr. Ravold had o:dered Secretary Kaufman of the Board of Health to send the serum from the in- fc.eted horse, ‘“‘Jim,’’ to the city bacteri- Ologist’s office. This was placed in the ice- bux, and no instructions were given as to its disposal. Liasks Were Not Labeled. “Would not any of the employes of the city chemist’s office have been justified, under the rules which prevailed, in taking the Bept. 20 serum from the flask and put- ting it in vials for distribution?’’ the mayor a ked. “No,” said Dr. Ravold, ‘‘because flasks were not numbered or labeied.”’ Dr. Chapman of the Board of Health questioned Dr. Ravold as to his authority for issuing serum before tests of its qual- lilies had been made. Dr. Ravold replied that he issued the fiuid on his own authority, and because he knew the character of the horse. Dr. Chapman quoted German medical authorities to show that tests should be made and a certain time should be al- lowed to elapse before the distribution of serum. Dr. Ravold replied that noted- French practitioners have used antitoxin without waiting for tests. In reply to a question from.the mayor, Dr. Ravold said that 10 bottles of anti- toxin of the date of Oct. 23 had been dis- tributed between the time when the first death from tetanus was reported and Oct. 29, when the issuance of antitoxin was stopped by order of the Board of Health. Dr. Ravold’s position in the inquiry was netled by Mayor Wells at the outset of the The mayor said that Dr. Ravold should not be permitted to attend the ses- sion except as a witness, as his presence might embarrass fils subordinates and as- sociates in giving their testimony. Henry Taylor, janitor of the city chem- ist’s office, who assisted Dr. Ravold in the preparation and testing of antitoxin, was on the stand until 7 o’clock, when ad- journment was taken. Says Untested Serum Was Thrown Away. Taylor repeated the statement, made at the. coroner's inquest, that the serum of the Sept. 30 drawing had been thrown away by Dr. Ravold in his presence. He stuck to his former declaration that the labels dated Sept. 30 were the work of a rubber stamp which had been altered in some way which he could not explain. Taylor said that his duties were varied, and that he was responsible to ‘almost everybody" in the city chemist’s and bac- teriologist’s offices. He said that, beside the usual duties of a janitor, he looked after the antitoxin, made culture tubes and assisted in water analysis. When asked ~whether-anyone could have taken the serum from the flask in the ice- box and placed it in a vial, Taylor replied that he had heard that Anton Stock, one of the assistant chemists, had done so. Health Commissioner Starkloff and Dr. Chapman joined in the questioning at this point, and Taylor seemed unable to remem- ber more. Mayor Wells criticised Taylor's poor memory. A statement from Health Commissioner Starkloff was read, in which he declared that the responsibility for the acts of the bacteriological division belonged to the board of health as much as to himself. The city chemist would also share the responsi- bility, it was stated, if he should assume for himself or his subordinates work not authorised by the board. Dr. W. C. Teichmann, city chemist, de- sired to make a statement relating to the connection between his department and the bacteriological division, but there was not time to place him on the stand, > SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF.

Opera Company at Music Hall last night, was not a notable production. It was well done. Nothing more. Of course the part of Friar Laurence was grandly sung by Edouard de Reszke, but outside of this—and the orchestra—there was little to distinguish the production from that of a much cheaper-priced or- ganization which has sung at Music Hall for the past two seasons.

Exchange Tuesday, urging Congress to make ample appropriations for the improve- ment of the Mississippi river from St. Louis to its mouth, and also for special work that is needed to be done between Cairo and the junction of the Illinois river, are timely:and important. It ought to be unnecessary td call attention to this subject. But the fact that Congress failed to make the usual appropria- tion at its last session shows that the friends of Mississippi river improvement will have to be.alert and urgent so as to avoid a similar failure in the performance of a public duty at this session. Unless the appropriations suggested by the Merchants’ Wx- change are secured, the millions of dollars heretofore expended on Mississipp! improvement will lie wasted. The river is in- cessantly in action, undoing half completed alterations made by man in its channel or banks. Only By incessant vigilance and the finishing of the engineering: wcrks hecessary to make it a great waterway can this waste be prevented. The Merchants’ Exchange resolution will be ammunition for bringing about the needed congressional action. St. Louis is en- titled to a respectful hearing at this time.

The City Council, in passing the fender bill Tuesday night, one week ahead ofits routihe order, is deserving of public commenda- tion. This prompt action showed that the members realized the extreme urgency of the matter to which the Post-Dispatch had called attention. It is to be hoped that the House has also been duly impressed by the events of the past few days and will carry out its apparent intention to throw no obstacle in the speedy pas- sage of the ordinance. If this is done so as to enable the Mayor to sign the bill be- fore the 25th. of December, the city government will present the citizens with a‘Christmas gift whose value will be inestimable. The passage of this law will be an important step towards creating the new St. Louis, Safety of life and limb on the public #treets is of even more vital importance than the beautifying of the city.

Chief Kiely will station at the three notorious ‘‘mashing”’ cor- ners downtown five detectives in plain ciothes. The regular po- licemen will also keap a lookout.

A Post-Dispatch poet's intimation that Fitzhugh Lee had been forgotten has »een followed by th® announcement that Gen. Lee is to deliver a nutnber of lectures this winter on ‘‘Peace and War in the United States and Cuba.” It is not to be expected that President Roosevelt will readily forget that Gov. Yates was pushing the Roosevelt boom before the Buffalo tragedy. Yates is an original Roosevelt man, and as such is not to be sneezed at by Lilinois politicians. More than 1000 larks were recently killed to make a pie for a luneheon given the Prince and Princess of Wales. There are people in the United States who would rather hear that the pie had been made of English sparrows. common sense is thé most uncommon of al] the senses. Hence when it asserts itself a thrill of pleased surprise runs up and down the spine and through the nerves, exhilarating the whole man. For instance: ' , Health Commissioner Reynolds of Chicago addressed the South Side Club Tuesday evening on “The Citizen's Responsibility for Public Health.’’ He declared that pure air, pure water and pure food were the first ahd greatest requisites for health. “I often think.” he said, ‘‘when I hear of a committee of club women goirig around to tenement houses and telling the inmates about the efficacy of fresh air and sunlight, that they would better begin at ‘home and.put up-their own window shades,”’ Exactly, and if he had ever ridden on a St. Louls street car he would have observed that a woman will breathe fouler air in those hermetically sealed boxes than any ever known in the worst tenements without raising a riot. She won't even ask the conductor to open a transom window. It isn’t because she is afraid of the controller. It's because she lacks common sense. Of course the conductor doesn't think of it himself. That wouldn't be good conductor form. Besides, he has no common sense, like most other men. 7 Let us pray for common sense. = him out? That some men are only half as bad as Fee ome ee .

The enemy, who fought the Western tooth and nail, wet the part of the pudding with all the plums in it. There's gratitude for you.” Mr. Lucas reckons without reason in his complaints. He overlooks the fact that to the victors belong the spoils, and Kin- loch certainly squeezed out of the little | end of the horn in. its conflict with the Fair Association and the Delmar Jockey Club.

Brummer, the 16-year-old son of Battalion Chief Michael Brummer, of the Buffalo fire department, who was kidnaped on Monday by five tramps, was found at Batavia by his father. Brummer is a student in a mechanical] In- stitute. On Monday he took an electric car and rode to Lancaster to examine ma- cChinery being installed theres, When he got off the car near Depew he was ap- proached by a man about 40 years old, why offered to show him the way to the shop. Brummer soon found himself the prisonel of five tramps, who searched him and took everything of value he had. They would send the boy to the front door of a house to ask for food or money, and while he engaged the attention of the inmates would go in the back door and rob the house, He estaped from them at Alden, but they caught him again and took him to Alex- ander. Before going into Batavia the rob- ber band: separated to avoid attention. Brumer was placed.in charge of orfé tramp, who took him to W. D. Smith's hardware etore in ,Bataviea. While the tramp was trying to steal something Brummer dashed out the back door and found his way to the police station, where he tqld his story and word was sent to his father, who weii- after him.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—A conference will be held in this city on Dec. 17 of Galves- ton bondholders to discuss what steps are necessary to meet Galveston's financia. difficulties. Galveston has failed to pa) interest on some of its bonds, and the de- fault was made on Dec. 1, when the city was unable to meet the interest on the 40-year limited debt bond of 1881. A com- mittee representing the city of Galveston will be present at the conference. Since the storm the amount oe out in Interest to bondholders was $160,000. In addition to this about $40,000 in bonds were retired. This is the statement of a report of a city which sustained a loss of thou- gands of lives and a property loss esti- mated at about $17,000,000. Realizi several months ago that the city could not meet its indebtedness, an effort was made to fund the debt at a lower rate of interest and legislation look- ing to this end was secured. Resulting from this was the opening of negotiations with the bondholders, and a proposition wis submitted to them. The result of this proposition was the reply from a repre- ) ntative of the bondholders holding no ope of a reduction of interests, but only h postponement. and this only in case it was absolutely necessary.

PETERSBURG ALL HAVE BARE GUMS. CLIMATE DECAYS THE TEETH To This Is Added the Fact That the Science of Denistry Is Unknown in Czar’s Domain. LONDON, Dec. 12.—8t. Petersburg i slowly becoming a city of toothless people. The Russian capital should be and even- tually will be removed to Moscow mainly on that account. This, at least, is the opinion of a prominent merchant of the city on the banks of the Neva, who says. he has heard much talk along that line in the lart few years. Viadimir Zorokoff, a tea importer of Bt. Petersburg, who is in town, exhibits a mouth devold of teeth to show the effects of the climate of his ~'ty. He says the sight of a person similarly affilcted is a common one there. St. Petersburg citi- zens are readily identified in any part of the empire, he says, by the absence of many or all of their teeth. There are two reasons for this condition. The first M. Zorokoff gives is the atmos- phere of the capital city. The vapors that arise from the marshes of the Neva have the effect of producing the decay of the teeth. Whether there is some deleterious chemical as fo & in the vapors has not been discovered, but the result is declared to be due to the effluvia from the swamps. The second reason is the scarcity of good dentists. The science of dentistry is prac- tica ‘lv unknown in the city or the nation. “St. Petersburg offers an unsurpassed field for good American dentists,’’ said M. Zorokoft. “Perhaps by excellent treatment and the use of preservatives the teeth of ’ny fellow-citizens could be saved. The city waa largely built on land that had been filled in, and the climate was never very healthful. While St. Petersburg is the cap- ital, the center of culture, wealth and re- finement of the country still remains at Moscow. “Czar Nicholas is himself said to be fear- ful of losing all his teeth, having had much trouble to keep them in good order. From this fact, I think, the sentiment that is be- ing formed in favor of re-establishing the capital in the city where it was in olden times will, in time, result in the abandon- ment of St. Petersburg as the imperial city. “In no other center of population in Rus- sia is the decay of teeth so noticeable as in the capital. It is only during the past ten years that the subject has attracted gen- eral attention, and recently the feeling that the seat of government should be changed has been growing among the upper class. I hope to see the removal take place.” CITY NEWS. See the Window attractions. See the Holiday displays.

PRISONER'S RECEPTION IN CELL Children Also See Her, but Talk Through the Bars as They Urge Her to Give In. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Deo. 12.—Judge Howard J. Curtis, who yesterday com- mitted to the Fairfield County jail his cousin, Mrs. Mary E. W. Smith, for con- tempt of court in refusing to tell where her bonds were kept, laid aside the ermine today and appeared at the jail as a fiesh- and-blood relative.of the woman he sent to prison. He made a long call on his ob- stinate kinswoman and tried to get her to promise to purge herself of contempt. lt was visiting Gay at the jail‘and other relatives besides the judge called to see Mrs, Smith. Many friends: of the wealthy woman—she has more than $500,000 In stocks and bonds alone—also passed a portion of the afternoon .with her. Sheriff Hawley, however unwillingly—for he much admires Mrs. Smith for what he terms her strength of character—was torced to adhere to the prisou ruies and therefore could accord no special privileges to his prisoner. So all visitors were re- ceived at her cell, which is in the new wing and only eight feet long by five wide, ‘The door remained locked and her children and others had to remain content with shaking hands through the bars. There was not trace of resentment in the manner of the greeting that Mrs. Smith extended to the judage. It was: “How do you do, Howard?” “I'm very well, thank you, Mary. And how are you?’ Then the two clasped hands through the bars. They talked long and earnestly. “When are you going to Pn yourself of contempt?’ asked meek ge. “I cannot say, Howard,’’ replied Mrs. Smith, contempilatively, as if the question scarcely concerned her. They shook hands — at parting, the judge saying he ho for an immediate ange of heart in the attitude of his rela- tive. Judge Curtis’ visit to his cousin was kept as secret as possible, for the mg A is much distressed by the notoriety rs Smith has brought upon herself. Her four children—Daniel M. and Will- iam H., and two daughters, Mary Esther and Beatrice C.—were among her visitors. Her younger son came from New York, where he is a student at Columbia, and her elder from Schenectady. where he is in the employ of the General Electric Co. The two daughters, both handsome girls, came from the family homestead at Westport, where the mother and daughters live. Another visitor who remained a long time was the Rev. John De Pue, pastor of the First Congregational Church of which Mrs, Smith has long been a member. Other vis- itors were women prominent in_ the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and conspicuous in the social life of Bridge- port. All urged upon her the advisabiiity of answering the questions of the court, but to all she gave non-committal answers. According to the law, Mrs. Smith must stay in jail until she frees herself from the contempt charge. Should her determi- nation never to reveal the whereabouts of her bonds continue she might remain in jail indefinitely. In regard to this she said on the day of her commitment: “T’ll never tell where those bonds are. If I were a man this suit never would have been brought, and now because I am a woman it is sought t0 make me tell all about my private affairs. Ill not do it." Mrs. Smith is 48 years of age and d- looking. All Bridgeport is intensely inter- ested in her case. Chauncey I. Filley Testifies.

Despite Opposition of Her Father, They Eloped, She Riding Behind, and Were Married. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HEATH, Neb., Dec. 12.—A ride of sixty- five miles by night and on the back of the same pony was preliminary to the mar- riage of T. J. Bray to his cousin, Miss Belle Bray, in Cheyenne. It was an elope- ment of the Lochinvar sort and resulted in Miss Bray's father losing one of his most valuable assistants op the ranch, for his daughter, 16 and sprightly as she was courageous, could rope a cow, brand a steer or herd wayward calves with any man on the place. These accompiishments of the plains, however, were the only ones to which Miss Bray could lay claim and ~ messes ver the’ immunity from education he and low-necke® dresses that must necessarily be a_ girl's lot when 2% miles of prairie intervenes between her father’s house and the nearest Nebraska town. She yearned for congenial society and she found such in her own cousin when her parents took her to Cheyenne to visit during last fall's carnival. ore- over, there was reciprocity, for the young man gave immediate evidence .of heart trouble of the dark parlor phe and despite the unfavorable attitude of {s un- cle and aunt —— to see them at their ranch a month ago. "The old people were suspicious of his in- tentions and warned him, the rl and even the neighbors that all attempts at clandestine flight or maritial proceedings would be nipped early in the bud, but not- withstanding this the young woman con- trived to ride off to a neighbor's on her own horse and there meet her lover, to m she resigned the forward seat on the animal's back, dutifully placing herself behind him, in which position they rode westward through the night, nor tarried long when day came until the reached Chevenne and had secured their unl ed ith the ald of a license and a ahs they os. ty ful greeting to , é, meanw ' hastened to Kimball and there placed imself in communication with Cheyenne eed but too late for them to block proceedings, as he requested.
