Of Romance

An Episode
Of Mexico
By P. A. MITCHEL
Miss Joscphlno Wnrren, n prominent
Bocloty girl in un cnHtcrn city, bolng
tlrctl of tho winter soclul snyetliw.
pined for something llfcrent. In the
first place, sue lind had half u dozen
proposals, not one of them having in it
anything Uko real love. They came
from men who wished tt marry from
Homo Interested motive. Ono wantoJ
her because she would bring her liu
baud some- meauH, auotlier becnuso fthe
would give him a better nodal position
and still others Ifecuiiso they wished to
marry and sho was considered one of
tho prizes of tho hcobou.
Miss Warren's father owned, among
other tilings, n ranch In tho far west,
which had fallen to him through a
foreclosed mortgage. One morning tlur-
lug the early uprlug Josephine, heard
hbn eay that his ranch, which he called
his western elephant, would ruin him
If ho did uot go out and look after It
"Do go, papa." Hhe said, "and take
mo with you."
Ills having his daughters company
decided him, and within a few weeks
father and daughter were in a west
ern ranch house nud Miss Warren In
ntend of receiving tho attentions of
young men in silk hats and spats was
surrounded by cowboys with sombreros
and spurs.
Ono night Josephine was awakened
by u serenade under her window, A
man, uccompnnlcd by a guitar, was
singing with a voice smooth as a run
ning brook. Moreover, Ida wholo heart
seemed to como out with his voice, and
uls song was one of passlonato love,
Joscphlno could not help comparing It
with tho lovcmaklitg sho had listened
to from the glided men of tho eastern
social world,
Rising from Juor bed, sho went to tho
window. Tho moon was at tho full
and shone directly upon tho faco of tho
screnndor. llo was In cowboy apparel
oxcept for tbo hat, which lay on tho
ground bcsldo him. Whether It was
tho moonlight or that his faco was
roally more rcflucd than tho avcrago
cowboy or tho effect of tho music, ho
certainly appeared to Joscphlno as a
superior being.
IIo sang but ono song,, which seemed
altogether too short to tho listener,
then went nwny, leaving Joscphlno In
a sort of ecstasy sho had never felt be
fore. Oh, that sho might bo wooed in
such fashion by ono of her own sta
tloul
Tho next morning sho asked those In
tbo house who was tho scrcuadcr.
They had heard the serenade, but no
ono know any cowboy who could sing
anything oxcept ragtime music, and
thoro was no musical instrument
among thorn except n banjo. Joscphlno
was disappointed. And yet What ben.
oflt would sho derive from knowing
which of the many herdors had poured
forth an Impassioned lovo song? She
was not for such as theso; she would
return to tho cast and sottle down to
tho artificial Ufo of a woman of society
with somo man who spent a part of tho
day In trade, tho rest at his club ami
his ovcnlugs escorting hor to social
functions.
Joscphlno hoped that tho sorcunilor
would favor hor again. Every night
sho lay awake till sleep conquered her,
hoping to hear thoso dollclous notes
onco inoro. When sho rodo out, which
she did n great deal on horseback, sho
' scanned tho face of every man sho met,
looking for that of tho scrcuadcr. Hut
no ono appeared with tho same fea
tures, and Josephine at last concluded
that tho moonlight hud given tho one
sho had seen its heaven born expres
slou.
When her father announced to her
that ho had dono what was to bo dono
In respect to his investment, which was
to sell tho much to a neighboring
ranchman, hor heart fell at tho idea of
leaving. Tha last night sho spent at
tho ranch was ono of regrot. Sho was
going to sleep thinking of her soro-
nadcr when again that melodious voice
camo up from under tho window.
Tho next day tho father and daugh
tcr rodo twenty tulles to tho train, and
soon after boarding It Mr. Warren
brought a man to his daughter and In
troduccd him as tho purchaser of his
ranch, no was about thirty years of
ago and evidently a gentleman. It soon
appeared that ho was ono of Uioso
young men who, having inherited
moans, prefer n frco llfo to ono of con
finement and go In for ranching, lie
was going cast to rnlso fuuds to pay
for tho property ho had bought from
Mr. Warren.
Tho ranchman traveled nil tho way to
tho Atlantic coast with Uio Wan-ens
and uou arrival became, for tho timo
ho remained In tho cast, a frequent
visitor nt their home. When ho had
converted somo securities ho owned
Into money ho paid for tho ranch he
had bought, received n deed for it and,
tho transaction being closed, asked Mr.
Warren for his daughter's hand. Ho
wan referred to Josephine, was accept,
cd, nud sho informed her father that
hor llnnco would remain In tho east till
tho wedding, which was fixed for on
early date.
i When tho couple, after a quiet wed
dingconsidering the soclul standing
of tho bride wcro siccdlng westward,
tho groom naked h'ls brldo how It camo
that Bho bad accepted him In prefer
enco to ono of her eastern suitors.
"Because," sho wild, "they never woo
cd me. In this commercial ago It is
BUDnosod that romance is dead. It will
never dlo with us women. Your wooing
was delicious. Your serenade"
"My sorcnadol How did you know?
You did not bco wo"
"Xou forgot tho moonlight"
During tho presidency of Diaz of tho
republic of Mexico I went there with a
stock of goods nnd opened a store In
tho sUito of Durango. For awhtlo I did
very well. Mexico had long been at
peace with herself, foreign capital had
como In to develop tho country, and it
looked as though hor prosixsrlty would
continue.
Tho first wreck of my hopes was tho
revolution that displaced Diaz and
nlaccd Madcro at tho head of tho Mexi
can government Hut this was nothing
to tho accession of Huerta and tno tur
moil during his administration nnd fall.
Tho Mexican people, especially thoso
who supported Ilucrtn, believing that
their troubles camo largely from tbo re
fusal of tho United States government
torccognlzo him ns president of Mexico,
turned moro bitter than over against
Americans.
I had made n number of friends
among Mexicans and was permitted to
continue my business without molesta
tion. This was nil very well so long
as I remained In tho location of my
homo and business. IJut 1 was fond
of sketching, and 1 intended ns soon ns
I could get out of Mexico with my
capital to go north and study art Tho
Sierra Madro mountains nro uot far
from my homo, nnd I desired to tnko us
many sketches as posslblo away with
mo of tho fino landscapes there.
Ono evening nfter sketching during
tho day I went to a houso devoted to
tho entertainment of strangers to pnss
tho night Tho placo corresponded to
tho old American tavern of former
days. It was not especially clean, nnd
tho persons it contained wero of n low
grade.
About 10 o'clock at night I was sit
ting in tho dining room reading a news
paper. I had gone thcro for tho pur
pose, slnco a lamp swung over tho ta
bio gavo tho only light that enabled mo
to read comfortably. I was seated di
rectly under It, with my back to an
open door, when, hearing u faint creulc
of a lloor board In my rear, I raised my
eyes from my pnpor. They lighted on
n shadow cast on a wall beforo me. Tho
shadow was not cast by tho light over
my head, but by ono back of tho object
that produced It It was not very dis
tinct, but Buuiclontly bo for mo to dis
tinguish it ns tho shadow of n man.
Tho bend covering was plainly a som
brero. Tho owner nnd shoulders camo
noxt Tho loft arm was lowered, and
since tho shadow of tho right arm was
simply a lump I surmised that It was
raised and pointed In my direction.
It required only a frnctlon of n sec
ond for mo to bco In this shadow what
is called In art n foreshortened arm
I believed also that tho hand contained
a weapon. That It was u pistol and
not a knlfo was evident, Blnco It, too,
wns foreshortened. Had It been a
knlfo it would have been held In n dif
ferent grip, which would hnvo produc
ed n shudow. I would hnvo seen somo
cvldcnco of a blndo. In short, a man
wus standing In n passage behind mo
and about to shoot me. Expecting to
bo Immediately killed, I was paralyzed.
I hud not oven tho power to duck Un
der tho table. Naturally my eyes wero
glued to tho evldenco of my danger,
Suddenly I saw an lncrcnso of- tho
urea of tho shadow. On either side,
Just below tho shoulders, n protuber
ance nppenrcd momentarily, then merg
ed Into tho main bulk. Tho right arm
wns lowered nnd hung at an uuglo with
tho body. Now I could seo that It was
an arm and thcro was n shndow of
what It was plain was n pistol barrel.
When wo nro In dungcr our faculties
becomo grcntly sharpened. I question
If they do not become rather instinct
I reasoned out tho chaugo Is this wise :
Somo ono had como up behind tho man
who was about to kill mo nud thrown
a pair of arms nbont him. What should
I do now? I nlwnys carried n revolver
on my sketching tours, but It wus at
my hip, under my coat If I turned
now to defend myself whllo my ene
my's weapon wus lowered I might bo
too late, whereas If I sat still, pre
tending to bo Ignorant of what was go
ing on behind me, I might bo saved.
This consideration Hashed through
my brain within n fraction of a sec
ond. I had scnrcely conceded it when
I saw t1" shadow of tho arm drawn
up to its former position. Evidently
tho man who hud been Interrupted wus
Intending to proceed us beforo tho In
torruptlon.
Then thcro was a commotion In tho
outlluo of tho shadow. I Judged It to
express a strugglo between two per
sons. Tho right arm shadow appeared
and wus grasped near tho wrist by a
hand.
Now was my tlmo to act 1 mndo
four moves Inatuntnneously I drow
my pistol, I rose, I turned, nnd 1 cov
ered my enemy.
A Mexican stood beforo mo strug
gling with u woman, who maintained
firm grip of his right wrist. At my
movement both stood still.
"Drop that weapon," I Bnld.
Tho man replied by nu effort to
wrench his wrist from tho woman. I
tried to quiet him by putting a bullet a
few Inches from his head, but ho con
tinued to struggle, nnd tho woman held
on. In another moment I saw his hand
with the pistol In It oxtetidcd on his
right. I put u bull In tho baud, nnd tho
pistol dropped on tho floor. Darting
t'orwurd. I picked It up.
"Gringo!" hissed tho man.
I linked him why ho wished to kill
mo, and he suld that ho butcd gringos.
This wax the only reason ho gavo. I
had been xuvod from being murdered
by the woman who kept tho house
