Love affairs have not boon running

Is the woman In the case.
"I'll never marry anybody else , " ejacu
lated the night clerk whllo on duty In speaking -
ing to a boll boy who was loaning acalnst
the counter of the ofllco. *
Just then , whllo loii or a do70ii guests were
silting around Iho lobby reading newspapers
und wrlllug letters , the report of a pistol
was heard. Everybody Jumped up In grout
excitement. To their surprise It was found
thai Harris had shol himself. Ho had placed
a revolver , which discharged a 33-calibro
bullto his loft breast and llrod. Ho Im
mediately dropped to Iho lloor behind the
dusk. The ball from the pistol entered bin
body nn inch below the loft nipple and
nasBotl clear through , coming out under the
loft shoulder blade. It mlsiod his heart
only by n small fraction of au inch.
The report of the pistol caused a great Ren-
saiion in the hotel , and in a few moments
the day clerk C. H. Slanborry , rushed down
stairs. Ho saw Harris lylncon the lloor.
'Tatco this letter to Vera , " gasped the
dying man.

patched a messenger boy to her residence ,

room ou the first lloor , and several physl
cluus summoned. His wound was dressed
and ho was given stimulants to keep him
nlivo until the arrival of the young lady.
She never cumo. The cpistlo was de
