Sam Levy & Co. Frank James Latest. According to the New York Sun, in its Ft. Worth, Texas, correspon- | dent, Frank James has made ar- rangements, in conjunction with James Courtright, ex-city marshal or Ft. Worth, to bring out a drama for the stage. In the case of Frank James and Annie Ralston, it may be rememtered that James met the girl under an assumed name as she was visiting at a triend’s. She played croquet with him and became so deeply interested ia the stranger that he at length declared himself and was accepted. He then told her who he was, and in her girlish sym- pathy for him she loved him more passionately than ever. Her father would not permit James to call on his daughter, but she managed to see him frequently, and finally on the pretense of visiting relatives in Nebraska, she went away trom home, and was not again seen for two years. At the end of that time James presented himself at the Rals- ton place and asked permission to send Annie home for the summer, but the old man retused, whereupon James told him that he would not see his daughter again for ten years. He came very near keeping his promise. None of her friends saw j her until exght years had elapsed, and then James was a prisoner.
