electing Mani af Them,

In the early days of Now York's politicalhistory the reelection of Governors (George Clin-

ton was tho 11 rst elected by popular vote) wasnot unusual. It was thought generally that ouogood term doser ved anothur and porhaps several.After tho retirement of Qcorgo Clinton, JohnJay wns Governor of New York for two years.Daniel Tompkins was Governor for four terms,De Witt Clinton was Govornor for four, Euos T.Throop was Governor for two, William L. Marcywas Governor for three, William II. Seward wasGovernor for two, bringing down the record totbe days of William C. Bouck, "tho farmerGovernor of Schoharie," electod in 1842 and suc-ceeded by Sllut Wright.

Itts afaotln which tbo frlonds and supportersof therenominatlon of Gov. Black find encour-agement that Ilepublicau Governors of NewYork nominated for reelection to a second termhave almost uniformly been successful nt thepolls. Edwin D. Morgan was oloctcd Govornorof Nsw York in 1S5S. and be onjoyed afterwardthe distinction of being "New York's warGovernor," United Stall s Senator and Chair-man of th Hepuhllcan National Committee. Hewas a candidate for reelection and was reelectedin 18(50. but his successor In ofllce, Horatio Sey-mour, was a Democrat, The next llepub-llca- n

Governor ot Now York was HeubenE. Fenton, elected lu 18GL Ha wasa candidate for reelection, and was re-elected In 18GU, and was succeeded byJohn T. Hoffman. Hoffman was a candidatefor reelection and was reelected in 1870, and hewas succeeded by John A. Dlx. Cornell, Repub-lican, was not renominated and his successorwas a Democrat. 11111 was elected Governor in1885. and tbe prospect of bis refilectlon In 1838was regarded as dubious when put up at theBuffalo convention, but his majority was largerat the second election than at th first, Itos-we-

P. Flower was not renominated after theclose ot his term and was succeeded by a Repub-lican. Levi P. Morton won not renominated attbe close of bis term, having formally with-drawn from the field to bocomo a candidate forthe Presidency In 189G.

With tbe single exception ot Gen. Dix In 1874the Republican party since Its organization InNow ork has never nominated a GovernorIn ofllc for reelection without success. To tbefailure of the Republicans tu renominate Gov.Cornell In 1882 is ascribed generally their de-feat in that year. Those who advocate the

on the Republican ticket, of Gov,Ulack tlnd In these precedent a subject ot en-couragement. A Governor In office. Democrator Republican, makes usually during hit term"a record" of administrative service, by whichbis party Is bound. If it renominates him forelection. It stands by that record as madeand appeals to the support of many con-servative voters who woula be lukewarm In ad-vocacy of a new and perhaps untried candidate.If a Governor In ofllce H not renominated, thostandard bearer et his party succeeding him asa candidate Is put at a disadvantage ot beingcommitted to the policies the olllclal repre-sentative of which has not been deemed by hisassociates worthy of another term. The olnceof Governor of New York has been held only bythirty-on- e individuals in 121 years, althoughtbe term ot office has been usually two yearsonly.

fad and its consequences that I have everseen. The unsuitablllty of such a necktie to ashirt waist seems to bo lost on them. No manwsuld ever think of wearing such a scarf with aflannel or an outing shirt. Those heavy thingsar reserved by men for more formal occasions,yet women have taken thrm up this year as thoarticle, for regular summer wear.

" My experience hB been that the smaller thowoman is the larger her scarf is likely to be,and If she happens to have tbo sort of a figurewhich makes tbe scarf project forward and re-main in that position the inapproprlateuess ofsuch neckwear for women Is more apparentthan ever. If women care nbout tbe wishes ofmen in tbo matter of dreis they ought to takeort those large neckties. Nothing can excusethem. Thero aro plenty of substitutes, andeven it thero were not an average man wouldprefer to neo a woman with nothing but a pieceof ribbon tied about her neck ruther than one oftboeo Iniquitous flat scarfs.

"One point about them is amusing from theway In which It shows their Indifference to theprooor way of weiring men's clothes afterthey tako to them. These flat scarfs shouldhave tnelr edges hidden liy a waistcoat or Insome other way. But a small matter like thatdoes not Interfere with the way la which theywear anything that has hitherto belonged tomere man. They wear them Just as they please.That Is tholr rule, and that makes It correot."

Vlctorlen Sardou has lately attributed his suc-cess as a dramatist to his handwriting. Withsome seriousness he has been telling his friendsthat after having tlrod many managers withoutsuccess, ho finally sent " La Turelne dra Etudlants" to the Odoon Theatre in the hope that itmight make some Impression there, It hadbten placed on a table along with half a dozenmanuscripts from unknown writers that wer tobo returned without being read. Thoy were on atable In tho room in whit h rehearsals were held,and by chance the glanco of Mile, lierenger,a beautiful a tress of tbot day, fell on the pileof manuscript, 'ihuughtlcb.l) sbu turned sev-eral in tho puges over, and her e)o fell on thubeautifully written pages of Hiirdou'a work.

"Wbut a wond.rful hnndwritlngl" sho said.Some of tbo actors with hot- - glanced at tho

writing. So did the manager, and he decidedto read thu work which was ao carefully andclearly written. Tho result was that the playwas accepted and the writer saved from tbetroubles which wero Impending at that time,Ho it n millionaire but ho was very nearstirvatlon then.

Tbo moral of this story for contemporary as-pirants loses some of Its foun from lbo fact thatall plays submitted are usually typewritten, hothe losst qualified beirluner ia equal toMr. In at least one respect.

Mr, Hat Masterson ot Donvcr, a gentlemanwith considerable experience of fighting men,remarked the other day that bo knew ot noparallel to tho heroism of Amos Chapman,

"To light Indians was bad enough," Mr,Masterson tald, "but to be corralled by them Ina buffalo wallow and held there by them, andwater up to your neck that It hell with the ltdoff.

"I kntw Chapman quite well. He had beenon the frontier a long timo. Ho wat from theKasL He had hunted buffalo, traded with In-dians, fought with them in 1809, and finallymarried a Cheyenne. Ita wat not more than30 )eari old, tough, sure shot, good interpreter,fcarlaas rldor, and aa brave at a man could be.

"It wat In September, 1874, that Gen, Miles'command was ramped on tho Red River, inthe Texas Panhandle, where It hod followed theretroatlng Indians, or rather the main body ofthem. Pralilo Dog Dave and I were seloctedas tho two tcoutt to carry dtipatobea fromGen. Miles to Major Compton, whoto commandwas located on McClelland Grek, about lovtn-ty-llv- e

miles to the north. Soino ot the de-

spatches wer really intended for Camp Supply,In the Indian Torrltory, still further north, butour instructions were simply to deliver them toMajor Compton. Dave and I hoped to be senton to Camp Supply with thorn, for we neededtome now and warmer clothes, as It was be-

ginning to be cold nights."We wero nut clad in buckskin and boads,

as scouts aro usually piotured. Our clothingsimply consisted ot a pair of cheap overalls,calico soft hat, and a pair ot boots. Wobad lived in them all tummtr, and thought itabout timo to change them. WereaehtiUComp-tun'- s

camp without Incident and cursed our luckwhen wo reoslved return despatches to Milet,while ours wero turned over to Billy Dixon andAmos Chapman to tako to Camp Supply. Laterwhen w learned what they went through uotook It ull back.

"If. was known that there was a maraudingband of the red devils somewhere In the vicin-ity, but, llko the Irishman's ilea. It wnsailllU-cul- t

matter to put a linger on them. Theymight be In ouo sput one day and fifty miles ormoro away the noxt. It was contldtrcd best totend a scrgeunt and five soldiers with tho scoutsfor greater security, and, as was customary,they took: au unbeaten trail to their destination.

"Now, It happened that this roving band otreds, numbering fully 300 warriors, had beenlaying a flvo days' siege to Jack Callahan'stwcnty-flv- o Government supply trainin the sand hills of the Wachlta Rlvor. Thetrain was bringing supplies from Camp Supplydown to Qon. Miles. It was surprised at thltbad placo for a fight, and wat forced to go Intocorral. Tnla It dont by putting two wagonstogether In A shape, Birlnglng the rest downtbe sides, and closing them up at tho other endV way. The mules and horses are kept com-paratively sat In the Incloauro made by tnwagont, while tho toamstera and soldier gatwhat protection tbey can from behind thowheels or by digging rifle pits beneath thewagoni. There they can thoot with llttl dan-ger of belnc bit. Such a corral can ttand oftan array of Indians until tho water gives out.The Indiant attacked tha train for five dayt,killing one Llouttnant, two soldiers, and tornof the' animals. Their loss wat heavy. Sol-diers ot Company IC, Sixth Cavalry.Capt. Kings-bury, from Camp Supply, had; appeared uponthe scene, driven oil the Cheyenncs, and re-lieved tbe besieged.

"Chapman and Dixon, wltbltbolrpittlo escort,had crossed tbe Wachlta, some tbreo or fourmiles below where the pack train had been heldup, but, of course, know nothing of its presenceor that of tho Indians. On a rolling prairicountry such as they were In It Is a dlrllcult mat-ter to see any great distance on account of thtknolls nnd hollows. They were coming out ofa small draw or canon, whon suddenly thevespied tbe savages, who were almost directlyupou them. There was but one thing to do,and that was to get out on the open prairie,wharo there would be a chanco to tight. Tem-porary protection would be afforded by get-ting bohlnd things in tne canon, but it wouldonly be a matter of a short time when theywould no surrounded and shot at from all direc-tions. As experienced luon. thev knew this.A dash was made for the prairie, and thoyreached It In a shower of shot. It Is Impossibleta ulioot well from tha back of a rapidly movinghor.o.

"It was the plan to find a buffalo wallow. He asflat as possible In it, and shoot until dead. e

auch n place was found the scouts and sol-diers dismounted, so ua to shoot better and keepthe Indians from getting too close ; beforethey could get Into cover. A cauplo of deadIndians will stop n hundred live ones fromcoming too near. One soldier held the bridlereins of the horses while tho rust of the men retreated them uud shot at the advancingbust. 1 he Indians likewise dismounted, so thatthey could also shuot better and not be suchgood targets. It may seem strange tbat sucha large body ot Indians would nut muks Justone charge and overwhelm the white men byforco ot numbers, out that Is not the Indianway. They will not taku a risk It thoy can helpIt. They will not trade anywhere near evenwith the white man when life is at state.

"Before a buffalo wallow could bo found thosoldlur holding the horses was shot and killedand tho animals stampeded. Then there wasa ruco for life to the nearest hole. Some thirtyfeel from one anotber soldier was shot, hut notMlltd. lie lay there and jailed in thu agony otfear and pain.

" 'Don't let them scalp me, boys! For God'ssake don't let them get inl' ho shrloited. Therest had safely got Into the wallow.

"It was with tbls appeal ringing in his earsthat Amos Chapman, without u word to hismates, but Just a yell, 'I'm coming,' sprang upout of the wallow, his in hand, ranto th wounded man, seized and sought to draghim back. The Indians tired a volley ut tilniand made a rush toward him. I don't knowhow many shots were fired at Chapman, but tbeonly place be wat hit was below the lsft knee.Tho bone was shattered to splinters, oftbe bullets hit tbeiljlnicsoldier and hastened hisend, Chapman's leg gave way under him likea piece of rubber, but he never weakened or lotgo. Reaching ahead with his good leg and with(be knee of the left, he dragged tbe eo.dler aloufwlth his left bund, piece by plec. firing his iruuwith his right.

'The men In the wallow kpt up a fusilladeand the Indians were held back. Painfully butpersistently Chapman dragged himself and theliitta along. Sometimes he sought to rise, hop-ing tbat the leg would bold, but it doubled un-der ldm. it did not tako many minutes tor nilthis to happen. Chapman nnd tho woundedsoldier reached the hole, where the latter diedlu a llttlo while. Now, if that isn't uu eia.n-p- l

of heroic bravery, then 1 don't know whatis. One might criticise his Judgment, hut nothis briueiy. He could not and would not eothat soldier slaugbleiod and sculped, and puthis own life In peril to prevent It. Hud hobeen killed, tho Ihns of ull tbo others wouldhavo been phued In still greater Jeopardy bythe loss nf a defender, hut. those things warnot thought of, 'I here waa but one Idea, and thoIntdsni It wus conceived it wus put Into execu-tion. Dixon would have done the same thinghad not Chapman been quicker. When I thinkof such things to day 1 btliero that men likeChapman should havo a monument. He gota cork leg from tho Government nnd aSecuudLiculcnantH pension when he retired.

"I cannot iro intu the details of the unevenfight thai followed, for 1 was not there, uudJuly know tho story from what Dixon and Chap-man afterward told ine. The ordinary buffalowallow, which Is mado by buffaloes rolling andwallowing around lu the soft earth, la about adozen feel in diameter and perhaps two or threefeet iloep.

"Just to lllu.tialu what curs Indians are,they Just laiupod around that hilllalo wallow,hiding behind tbelr burses, shooting, whileborne of them ycllod lu Kngliah to Chapman tuloine out and light. Just think, they wantedlinn to stnu 1 up and be shot ut by thu 300. Theywere anxious to kill him lor hehad married one of their aqiiuus and wasaalusl them.

"Thut night there ras a terrific nlnstorm,"hide filled the wallow to l o brim with water.The Wounded men had to keep tboir heads aboverater to as not lo drown, while they hud lo keeptheir gun and ammunition dry and bo con-stantly on tbe watch for an attack.

Dur-ing tho forenoon ho taw a body of horsemen Inthe distance, buOt was aouie time befom hsassured himself that It was a pnrty ot soldiersput troutlng. Ho llred his gun and attractedtheir attention.

"Tho party at once started back to tho rescue,but torn precaution had to be taken. Dixon,wlth,.,!m,ltknul0 Instinct, brought them backto within a few rods of the wallow, but It wasduik, and there was danger of being mis-take- n

They havo come to thoconclusion that their Idol has madeaatrlousmlstaki In essaying a military career, and theywould be very much obllgod If some one wouldpoint out a way by which ho could forego Itsdangers and delights without loss of prestige.And It Is pretty safe to say that the gameopinion Is shared by tbs Colonel. He has neverentered heartily Into tho military project.He was simply th victim ot overpersuasion.When It looked as though it would be a quickdash of volunteers Into Cuba, and the overturn-ing of Spanish authority there, he wat Inducedto believe that only by joining the nrmy couldhe hope to avoid being overshadowed In tbenext Presidential campaign by some Democratof tho Fltzhugh Lee stamp. Mr. Bryan stoodout against thase advisers for a time, and It wasonly with half a heart that ho consented to Gov.Iloleomb e importunities to he allowed lo com-mission him to raise a regiment,

Ihu work was entered upon, however, wlihenthusiasm. The first check came when Bryanfound his desire to be eloetod Captain of hishome company, of which ho was n simple pri-vate, blocked by tho college boys, w bo wauledtbe ofllees themsolves. Meanwhile, he pur-chased books of tactics and set out to master lutheory the art of commanding a regiment. Somepractical demonstrations by his Lieutenant.Colonel helped him uloug when he was stuck,but he speedily wearied of the routine.

About this time the press comments begancoming In; also letters from Demo-crats in various partB of the country protestingagainst proffering himself as a target for Span-ish bullets when they had work for him to do.His own party press protested that he could dobetteracrrlce in the Congress campaigns tbls3 car, and some criticised him for attempting ncareer for which be bad had no training. Someof the criticisms he received were in lino withhis own previous Ideas, and these have com-bined to alarm hit frlendt and worry the Colonel.

Col. Bryan hat found it quite dlfllcult to main-tain hlmtelf In a dignified way in tho public cy

o that It might not be turned In anothor direc-tion when the convention of 1000 came around.He wus Induced to believe that to essay a mili-tary oaraer would not only dispose of possiblerivals with military careers, but enable himeasily to retain his prestige.

sch other with such force that thsre Itn'tenough leftot them for an outsider to patch upthethowof an opinion for himself. Here It anextract from a letter to the lirttiitrt' Oaxrtte. apapor patronised by horsemen:

"The ludicrous failures of horseless carriagesthe last year or two would seem to put a quletuuen the manufacture ot the lumbering, g

vthloles. They wore ungainly, un-

wieldy, and laoklug In power to propel themover any but the best roads and streets. But thateal of an Amorlcan inventor seems unquench-able, and there la always tu bo found somemanufacturer who has such faith In his skilland enterprise tbat he Is slow to abandon a planones undertaken. Tho mors novel or dlfllcultthe work tht greater the renown and profit dothey expect from succtts. 1 ho Idea of a horse-less oarrlage, or at the English have betternamed It th auto-ea- r, has not been abandonod.

"It It claimed tbat American manufacturer!have now invested In plantt andmattrtalt atleast (3,000,000. Although Francs Is the homeot the auto-car- , American manufacturers aretilling more of tholr producti In Franca, Eng-

land and Germany than In thlt country. Strangeto say, the demtnd Is growing. There are fourfactories now in the East. Tbe uas ot coal oil andgasoline seems to have proved a failure, and theynow expect to succeed with electricity.

"A Hartford company claims to have solvedtht problem ot motive power and Is making vehi-

cles of the general appearance of a Stanhope, fin-

ished and upholstered In the best style. Storagebatteries are uted weighing 850 pounds, and theentire weight ot the vthlcla It 1,800 pounds;this to carry but two ptrtont. The coat ofcharging a battery It about AO cents, requiringthree hours' time, snd a run ot thirty miles on agood road can bs mads with obb oharge.

Verily, aman who will Invest In such a pleasure vehi-cle mii!it have an abnormal love of a nov-elty or be wofully wanting in knowudge of thevalue of a good road hortt at a means of pleas-ure or service. Wo have given the best showingthat can be made for tho borsoless carriage fromthe claims of an expert sent out by tho strangestcompany In ths business. He thinks It unfor-tunate that Inventors snd manufacturers were aofoolish aa to make absurd displays and contestsIn public and at agricultural fulrs before thoyhad fully mastered tho motlvo power andmochanlam ot the vehicles. It will lags yearto overcome the effect of these fiascos."

To all ot which the automobile men simplysmile and say " Sour grapes 1"

"'Strango to Bay,' as tbls writer remarkwith such evident astonishment," said a dealerIn horseless carriages to a Son reporter, "thedemand Is Increasing. As for bis reference to'lumbering, vehicles,' he simplyhows that he knows uothlnr of the latest

forms of the automobile. There isn't particleof noise or odor nbout it, and aa for comfort. ItIs like riding in a cradle. Wo make the vehiclehe describee, but we haven't an exact counter-part in stock now. This ono weigh mor andcosts less. It weighs 2.200 pounds and costs62,300. The machinery Is the Sams, however.

"I have boen out In this carriage in all kindsof weathor and It has never broken down. Lastwinter 1 was out In It when we want throughmow banks so high that we pushed them aaldaa If we were on a snow plough. Tho batteriesare In the back of the carriage and the dynamoIs In this cylinder between th back wheels.The carriage Is lighted by electricity. Her arthe buttons, you see, down under the front seat.One for each side lump, one for the headlightand one for this aearchllirht with tba lonr carA.In case of any trouble with machinery at night,this enables one to find out Just wher thtrouble I."The operator sits at the left, to as to havebis right bund on the rod which guides the car-riage. At his loft It tho lever for regulating thpower. There It a powerful foot brnk and an-other lever for reversing. Any one can learn Ina few minutes how to operate the carriage. Thcost of running It It less than two cents a mile.If one goes at the rate of ten miles an hour. Ifthe owner baa his own electrlo plant, runninghis carriage will cost him only half a ceat amile. The normal capacity la slightly over

power, but this bs doubled at will.There Is a meter which sbows at any time howmuch power remains, ao that one need not becaught out where one could not get back. Bytaking out tbe key, hers at tbe side, yon canleave the carriage standlnr, and no on, unpro-vided with a similar key or plug, can start it byIts own powor."

The dealer confirmed the statement that hehas sent carriages abroad. Anotber dealer an-nounces that he Is manufacturing 1.000 horse-less cabs for use In New York next year. Adealer In carriages, not horseless ones, admitstbat the electrlo automobile Is a wonderful im-provement over those which were operated bygasoline, so far as noltelassness and certainty go.Nevertheless, be says he was never In a horse-less carriage which did not stop during the ride.

"It went on again after more or lass of a pause,but It alwayt stopped for breath at least once,he tald. "That would be a rather trying di-lemma If one were rushing to a train or late fora dinner engagement or potting after th doc-tor In a case of life or death."

In renlv, the dealer says that ths gentlemanhasn't tried the latest Improvement amonghorselots carriages and guarantees to run or-dinarily on schedule lime. So there It Is. Thepoint ef view makes all th difference. Butmeanwhile the manufacturer go on making thanew vehicles, and, as tbe wondering horsemanremarka, Strang to say, the demand la Increas-ing.

"It wa among stiou scenes and people that I ),met Pablo Metanarmo, tbe horse tamor.in mltho Apure Itlver country, at a little vlllag Wcalled Pnrnnho. Mr horso strayed uway in tha Vfnight, and when I told of my loss the head man I .

wat not on alert or Intelligent looking man , J IIrather th contrary and tho only peculiarity Ithat I obtervod In hit appearanco was In hit Etyet, which suggested those of a sletpy wildboast. When the head man had told him that he Vwanted him to tlnd the horse, ho went lo wher mthe animal had been picketed, examined th ' Btracks, and followed them a thnrt distance. fh"

"'U ha strayed away of his owa will,' hi ftlaid. 'U has not bean stolon.'

"Then I dtscrlbed the hone to him, and hi ft'tald: I!

I did not feel much ft,-eaconraged, for my horse had originally been a fit.wild horse of the pampas, and I knew that he awould b hard to catch In any event. Pablo Wirode out of the village halt an hour later on an Wiold scrub of a horse, and bt canto baok at sun- - Hfidown leading my horso and driving before him alltwo other estrays that be bad p!ekd up on the l)(.way horn. He had captured hi in tlfteon milea MLaway, near the place where he cam unon him. ('The horse was fresh and evidently bad let tha Hi,sambo catch him without a run but bow thla Whad been brought about Pablo would not telU WhTbo head man told me that undoubtedly all h t IBhad done was to circle around to the further IWside of my hone when he came In sight of htpi, HBthen plckot his own horse and lis down near r .,' Ofthim, and wait until my hone came up to b " "flcaught. rfcr

" 'Your hone, being a pampero and at large. Ilkwould not approach you or me, or lot us catoa, UJhim until we ran him down with relays,' tho Bbead man said. 'But with Pablo It is differ--ent. He ha bat tocall th animals, and thoy 9will come.' JB

"This episode made ma acquainted with Pablo HaMetanarmo. and a I wo In thi region for a Hconsiderable part of the next three years, I Basaw him often, and hard a great deal more of Hibis exploits in beast taming. II lived most of WMtbe tine at the Dalgado ranch, on tho tluaaa- - HIparo River, which wa my usual stopping placewhen I rode north ot Caraoas. His principal Bjjduty on the ranch waa to track up and captura nfstray horses and cattle tnat the other llaneroa Hcould not find, and to cut out from th wild- - L .

horse herds valuable domestic horses that bad , Wirun away and Joined them. This work ho per- - JB3formed occasionally for othar ranch owners CY;living sometimes a hundred miles away. When lliTegular business was slack he would go out to 111hunt wild hones or other wild creatures on hla antown account. In catching wild horses ho illwould ride to wher they were, but once on th 93ground he conduoted operations on foot. Hi Iwprocess, as seen by othen, was to approach grad- - i I'mually to the horns he had selected, and establish fv)an acquaintance. It always resulted In hi illhaltering .and leadlnir the animal homo. Some- - M,','times this was done in one day, oftenor it took K,two or three. It was Bald that a week wus tha ., 1longest time it had ever taken him to captura f Mlthe wildest bone.

"It Ii little wonder that among thi Ignorant HHllanorot Pablo's art was laid to the uso of maglo !

or the possession ot a talisman. Tho more in- - vBHUlllgont ranch owners were equally at a lot f--wf

to explain It, When asked about It thevshrugged their shoulders and sometimes spokaof Oarmlento, the sambo, who In his day, they mmsaid, had done greater feat than Pablo a. Aafor Pablo, he kept his own counsel probably h VJcould not have told the secret If no had triedand wont on capturing wild horsos, Jaguar and Hpuma cubs, big snakes, and eaglets. In a matter- -

way, for hla own amusement and (profit. His pets accumulating about the ranch 9Jmade life rather trying there at times.

ready to buy strange animals on speculationto sell to.manacerles In bhiropa and tho UniUcStates.

"Pablo and I beeamo friends and perhapsbecause I wat a foreigner, not likely to try toileal hit trade, be took me with blm on one ofhit hene-huutin- g trips.

the band in a way that seamed accidental aif ho wer not looklnx at tbem or thinking ofthem. Most hunter of every kind know thlatrick.

"In about six hours he had got within aquarter of a mile of them. At this point thstnlllon that lod the hand trotted out towardhim to Investigate. Kor un hour Pablo re- - (
