How Sha Kept It a Secret and
How Sha Performed It
By MANUEL CORDA
Copyright by American Press Allo
cation, inx.
I wis born la Madrid of eminent
though not noble parents. When I wag
sixteen I formed the acquaintance of
Alonto Gonzales, an anarchist.
I entered the university a year be
fore Oonsalee left It, and It was dur
ing tbl:- year that I was converted to
the theories of the anarchists. There
were others of our set that were cap
tured by Qonxales, among them a girl,
Dolores Sierra, who had been a play
mate of mine. But Gonzales, so far as
he was able, kept his converts apart;
maintaining great secrecy lu all his
proselyting work. I conceived a great
reverence for him, which later was
turned to horror. When I was nine
teen be persuaded me to Join one of
the anarchist circles of Madrid. I had
been Initiated only a few months when
the society decided to put out of the
way a statesman high In power, who
was considered "an obstacle to anarch
istic principles. One night when I
went to a meeting of the circle It was
announced that lots were to be drawn
with a view to determining some mem
ber who should assassinate the person
in question.
Up to this moment I bad been fasci
nated by the romance I conceived to
pervade these efforts to equalize the
social strata. When 1 put my hand
In a bat to draw a bit of paper that
might compel me to kill a man and
probably be executed myself as a
felon, the Illusion vanished like a mi
rage, or, rather. It was changed Into
repulsion, and when the paper I drew
was opened and I saw by a skull and
crossbones on It that I hud drawn the
order to commit murder I was frozen
with horror.
I did now what I should have done
in the beginning I made a confidant
of my father. He saw at once the
terrible position In which I was placed,
but, instead of making it worse for me
by reproach, kept his head and consid
ered what it would be best for me to
do. The result of his deliberations
was that I should pass out of exist
encethat Is, that I should disap
pear from the world as myself and re
appear as far away as possible from
the place of my esit as some one else.
A few doys later, with what ready
money I needed and certificates of de
posit In the Bank of France, payable
to me as Ebenezer Swift, disguised as
an old man, I left the city. My object
In taking an English name was that
I proposed to settle eventually in
America, and I Intended to give out
that I had been born of an American
father and a Spanish mother.
It was a year later that I turned up
at New York as nature jpade me, ex
cept that my benrd had grown. Pre
tending that my eyes were sensitive
to the light. I continually wore dark
glasses, it was not absolutely neces
sary that I should earn a living, for
once a year my father remitted suffi
cient funds to carry ne for twelve
months. We knew that my family
would be watched, that my location
might be discovered; hence there was
to be no communication oftener that
that interval.
One day, so I learned long after
ward, Dolores Sierra went to my
mother and told her that for my
safety she mast know whore I wns,
stating that the circle to which I hud
belonged bad condemned me to death,
that they knew where I was and
that I must be warned at once. With
out thinking what she was doing my
mother told her where I would be
found In New York. My father was
absent at the time and when he re
turned my mother, having learned that
she bad been indiscreet in giving my
whereabouts, did not dare tel! him
what she bad done. She trusted Do
lores implicitly and preferred to rely
on her to protect me rather than reveal
her action to my father. The conse
quence was that I was not advised of
the matter.
Living with a sword suspended over
one's head Is by no means pleasant
In my case it brought on a nervous
breakdown. The summer was on, and
I was advised to go up to the Cats
kill mountains. I therefore went to
one of the hotels on the summit, hop
ing to recover my lost nervous vigor.
I bad not been there a week before I
met with a great surprise. Walking
out one afternoon, I met a girl coming
toward me, and when we met who
should It be but Dolores Sierra.
Cut off as I had been for more than
a year from every one I had known
before, ber appearance gave me a
thrill. I sprang toward her with a
cry of Joy. Instead of meeting me In
the same spirit she stood as if para
lyzed, all the color leaving her face.
"Dolores!" I exclaimed. "What
brings you here 7"
"I am so surprised," she stammered,
"at meeting you that I" She could
get no further.
"But, Dolores, how strange that I
should meet you of all others, and the
very one I would rather meet"
She put her hand to ber breast Her
breath was coming quick. For a mo
ment I thought she would fall. I
sprang forward to catch ber, but she
waved me back. I waited till she bad
somewhat recovered, when she said to
me:
"My meeting you unexpectedly after
HAY & WEISEL
Manufacturers of
Rough and Dressed Lumber
Boxes and Strawberry Crates
Parkdale, Oregon
your sudden disappearance has star
tled me. It was reported that you had
been made away with by the anarch
ists." -Bat what has that to do with your
coming to America?"
"To meet one In the flesh whom yon
have supposed to be dead you must
admit Is liable to cause a shock," she
replied without noticing my question.
"But"-
"Come; let us walk together."
By fclow degrees she brought out that
she had come to America because there
are fields open to women in which they
may make their living. She had no
dowry, and in Spain a dowry was nec
essary to marriage; therefore she pre
ferred to be occupied among those ot
her own sex who were used to work
and where there was work to do.
"There Is no work to do up In these
mountains," I said
The question took ber unawares.
That her presence In America was not
explained by anything she had told me
I did not doubt But whnt was her
object In coming? As we walked on
I probed the matter, wondering all the
while at the strange occurrence. Then
suddenly a theory suggested Itself to
me. Might she not have come to pro
tect me? And would she have come
all the way across an ocean on my ac
count except for one reason that she
loved me?
But such a suspicion I was not In
clined to make known to Dolores.
Nevertheless It caught my fancy and
brought a wild Joy to my heart Set
apart from those with whom I had
been reared, dead to every living be
ing I had known, the bare suspicion
that this girl loved me and loved me
so well that she had come all the way
from my beloved Spain for me was
like a new birth to me. With this girl
for a companion I would be willing to
live on In my changed existence.
I said no more to her as to the rea
son for her coming. In any event it
wits her secret provided she chose to
keep It a secret, and not mine. I found
that she was stopping at a bouBe not
far from mine, and there later on I
left her, having arranged to call and
walk with ber the next morning.
And so I did In that mountain air
we strolled, I Invigorated not only by
its purity, but by the companionship
of Dolores. But while I grew strong
she seemed to be wasting away.
Something was distressing her, I ask
ed her to confess it to me, and she
declined. I pressed her to do so, and
In a spasm of feeling Bbe cried:
"If you don't leave 1 shall go mad."
To express my sympathy I took her
band in mine, but she snatched It
away.
"One would suppose," 1 said, wound
ed, "that a viper had touched you."
"Or 'that you had touched a viper."
she replied.
I was looking her in the face at the
time she said this and saw her bite her
Hp. Perhaps the words and the ac
tion should have given me a clew to
her secret, but they did not I was aa
much puzzled as ever.
One day when we were walking to
gether we met a woman with dark
hair and eyes.
"That woman," I said, "came either
from Spain or Mexico. At any rate,
she's Spanish."
' I turned to look at Dolores and saw
that she was struggling with some
emotion. But by this time I had giv
en over questioning her upon these
strange matters and said nothing. To
attempt to extract from her ibelr
cause seemed only to mudden ber.
We met the same woman again the
next day, and I saw on her face a
look that assured me that there was
some understanding between tbem;
but, as before, I refrained from speak
ing of it
One night I awoke with a start
The moon, shining In at the window,
showed a woman's figure standing
nenr. She held something In one
hand, while with the forefinger of the
other she was smearing what she held'
Then suddculy she flung the article
out of the window. A ray of moon
light struck It and revealed what I
took to be a knife.
I rose, supporting myself on my el
bow, and asked;
"Who's there?"
A hand grasped mine a band cold
as Ice.
"Hush! 1 am Dolores."
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't Interrupt me while I tell you
and what to do. Our lives depend
upon It. I came to America ordered
by the circle to kill you. A woman
was sent with me to see that I did the
work. She is the Spanish woman we
met Tonight I told her that I would
come to your room, plunge a dagger
Into your heart and throw the dagger
out of the window to prove to her
that I have done the deed. I have
smeared it with beefs blood. 8he is
to leave by one route, I by another;
she by the stony clove and I by the
clove leading down eastward. Good
byl" "Dolores I" I cried, "I will go with
you!"
"Where to death?"
"We will hide ourselves from the
world."
"Hide yourself. If you are dteeor
ered alive I must die."
"But Dolores, darling, this wom
an, not bearing of a murder here, will
Inow that you have not done the
deed."
"I have thought of that. But aba
will not stop till she reaches Madrid."
"Go with me, sweetheart I lore
you and so far aa I can will protect
you."
That was many years ago. I recall
bow, long before day we met at the
mouth of the clove; bow we walked
ten miles to a railway station and.
boarding a train, went so far as those
who bad known us vera concerned

PILFERINGA BASE
One of the Most Closely Calcu
lated Plays In Baseball
WORKING A DELAYED STEAL
The Way This Clever Trick, That Was
Invsnud bj Harry Btevey, Used te
Be Pullod Off by "Big Bill" Lenge.
Anion's Wsttod Saerifloe Bunt
"Base stealing, the gentle art of
printing and 'bitting the dirt,' te the
finest drawn and most closely calcu
lated play In baseball and the one that,
above all others, reveals the mathe
matical exactitude of the national
Hume." says Uuga a Fullerton In the
America u Mugazlne. "A player who
can run elglity -five feet In three and
oue-tblrd seconds from a flat footed
start ought to reach second base ex
actly tied with the ball, nine times
out of ten starts. If the play Is per
fertly made by the runner, pltcber.
catcher and baseman. The slightest
Inaccuracy or hesitation decides the
play.
"It seems a simple matter to run
ninety feet while a ball te being
thrown sixty-eight feet and caught
and thrown back approximately 132
feet caught again and held In position
to touch the runner. Yet there are art
and science In the feat
"There were great base runners In
the old days. This was chiefly because
in i he early days stealing second base
was the chief aim of the game. Mike
Kelly, Billy Hamilton, who In two
successive seasons stole over 100 bases,
and 'Big Bill' Lange, who stole 100
times In one season, were all great
runners who would be great under
present conditions. 1 recall vividly
I juice's one hundredth stolen bane,
wblcb established bis record Ue was
on second base with no one out and
Chicago needed one run to win the
game. Anson waa at the bat and,
after his stolid, businesslike style, be
poked down a perfect sacrifice bunt
and went lumbering toward first base.
Lange started for third base, stopped
and trotted back to second Halfway
to the bench Anson discovered where
Lange was and came near having a
stroke of apoplexy. Lange bad de
liberately permitted his captain to sac
rifice without advancing. Then by a
wonderful dashing start Lange stole
third base, scored oa a fly. and the
game was won. Because be won the
game Anson forgave him, but the mod
ern player who attempted such a thing
would be suspended and fined.
"The most effective steal ever devis
ed Is the 'delayed' ateal. which, al
though used during the early develop
ment ot the game, was neglected for
many years until revived by Manager
Chance of the Chicago Cubs. It was
used with great effect by Bill Lange
and appears to have been Invented by
Harry Btovey. a wonderful base rim
ner of the early days. The theory ot
the steal Is to catch the catcher and
the lnflelder unprepared and out of
position, and Its success lies entirely In
Its uneipectedness.
"tange, the leading exponent of the
delayed steal, made It after this fash
Ion. As the ball would be pitched he
would leave first base at (up speed
and sprint as bard as he could perhaps
twenty elirhi to thirty five fret, tfapn
stop short, hesitate and art its it be
had blundered and lnteuded m try to
regiiln first base If be succeeded Id
drawing the throw to first bane be
proceeded to second at top speed But
In the great majority of runes the
catcher would not attempt to throw to
either base, but would keep motioning
as If threatening to throw and all
the time Lange would be edging back
Inch by Inch, toward first. Jockeying
with the catcher The catcher, satis
fled that danger was past and that It
was useless to throw to first, would
relux from throwing position, ease
down his arm and get ready to toss
the bail back to the pitcher Tbe
moment Lange saw the arm drop and
the catcher change the position of his
feet be would dash at top speed for
second pase. Tbe catcher would leap
back into throwing position, raise bis
arm again and throw, provided tbe
shortstop and second baseman bud not
deserted tbe base and walked back to
ward their regular positions. If they
lost a fraction of a second In recover
ing the base Lange would beat the
ball. The fatal hesitancy of tbe catch
er and baseman gave him bis oppor
runlty.
"Stealing third base from second is
much easier In reality than stealing
second from first although It Is at
tempted mnch less frequently. Tbe
runner 'moving up with his arm' can
take more than twice the lead from
second base than from first, and, be
sides that It te much easier to gain a
flying start It has, however, been
declared bad Judgment to steal third
except in close games with one out
and tbe opposing pitcher going well
and preventing hitting. In such cases,
where one run will win or tie, stealing
third te advised by many. It Is more
difficult to see the pitcher's movements
from behind him than from one side.
Htlll. the runner need not start as
quickly, but caa atari at top speed
when he sees the pltcber swinging his
arm, advance a third of the way to
third base and then retreat In safety
because the catcher's throw Is much
longer. Also be la In much better po
sition to take advantage of any alight

Far and away the most la terse ting
member and In tuauy ways the moat
remarkable man who baa aver aat la
the bouse ot commons waa the Bight
Hon Arthur Kavanaugh. who aat for
Carlow from 1809 to 1880 nnder condi
tions which would hava been Impos
sible for almost any other man.
Kavanaugh waa born without arms
or legs be was, In fact a mere trunk
of a man. And yet he performed a
feat from which most men with their
full complement of members might
well have shrunk.
Strapped on to his saddle, he was
one of the most skillful and daring
riders to hounds In all Ireland. On
one occasion. It te said, "the saddle
turned under him, and the horse trot
ted back to the stable yard with hte
master banging nnder him, his hair
sweeping the ground, bleeding pro
fusely. He merely cursed the groom
with emphatic volubility, had himself
more safely readjusted and rode out
once more."
So remarkable was the eight of this
pink clad trunk perched on hte big
horse that a child who one saw him
dashing out of a wood ran shrieking
to ber mother, exclaiming: "Oh, mum
my, I've seen Satan himself I I've seen
him aura enough!"
Kavanaugh was also an enthusiastic
yachtsman and waa the first to assert
the right of M. P.'s to moor their craft
opposite the houses of parliament Be
went on a shooting expedition to Al
bania and published a charming book
on bis experiences. Illustrated with ad
mirable photographs taken by himself,
while among his favorite pastimes
were angling and tree felling.
Hte most famoua exploit however,
was hte ride from Norway to India.
Accompanied by two friends, be rode
across Russia to the Caspian sea,
thence to Astrakhan and Aatrabad
and through Persia, laughing at the
perils and fatigues of a Journey which
might well have daunted even the fa
moua Colonel Burnaby.
Kavanaugh, who was tbe father of
four handsome sons and daughters, all
perfectly formed, waa carried Into the
house of commons on the bark of an
attendant and was certainly on of
the keenest and ablest of legislators of
bis time. London Tlt-Blta.
