Gaby herself was a spectator. Dom Manuel saw Gaby, Abruptly leaving the marquis, he rushed to tho stall In which she was sitting ami, his face beaming, began to talk to her ardently and earnestly. Gaby did not take her eyes from the stage. She would not listen to Manuel. While he was still talking, she rose, ad lusted her wraps and left the box. Man uel made as If to follow her. She spoke briefly to Manuel and signed to him not to follow. It Is un derstood that she told him that she did not care to associate with him further. It was Dom Manuel's Infatuation for Mlla. Gaby, many persons believe, that was the primary cause of his over throw. He met the actress In Paris and became one of her most ardent admir ers.

The second robber, said by Robinson to be Ben Lowe, Is still at large and the hunt has settled down to the pro cess of combing Skagit county for him. Over 100 men are making the search. He was last seen at Sedro Wooiley. The victim of a mistake, L. K. Hyms, who claims to be a Seattle plumber, Is lying in St. Joseph's hospital In this city, shot through the Stomach.

It Is admitted In Washing ton city that the general adoption of this plan will give the machine poli ticians about as heavy a Jolt as they have received from any other quarter. In fact, the publication in the Saturday Evening Post of a one-page article by Senator Bourne describing the Oregon plan of presidential preference, has aroused keen interest In the national capital and has Bet the politicians to speculating over the possible results which would be wrought on presidential aspirations by the widespread inaugu ration of such a measure.
