Whon he reached lhe cabin Saxon

with all the forcofulness he could command, hut Duska steadfastly overruled

Once, as the sunset dyed the west
with the richness of gold and purple
and orange and hike, they were walking iheir horsos ulong a hill lane between pines and cedars. Tlie girl's
eyes wero drinking in the color and
abundant beauty, and the man rode
slleni ;it her saddle skirl. She had
silenced his continual argument after
her usual deeisive fashion. Now, she
turned her head, and demanded:

"Do y u think that danger can affect

Sume days later, Mrs. Horton again
referred tu lor wish to make the trip
to Venezuela. To the man's astonishment, Duska appeared this time more
than half in favor of It, and spoke as
thuugh she might after all reconsider
her refusal to bo her aunt's travelling
companion. hater, when thoy wen
alone, he questioned her, and she laugh
ed with the note of having a profound

"I am Interested in South Amori*

"I'm the one person yon con trust not
to betray yum* secret, and yei i<* find

Carter."
Saxon was frankly frightened. Unless she promised that she would di
nothing of the sort, ho would himself
go iii once. He had waited in deference to her wishes, but, If the thing
were to be recognised ns deserving Investigation at all, he must do it himself. He could not prott-A himself be-

au Inbound train, the girl stood waving her sunbonnot, slenderly outlined
against the green background of the
woods beyond the flag-station, a
.sudden look of pain crossed th** man's
face, and he loaned far out fur a last
glimpse uf her form.
Steele saw Duska's smile gTOW wistful as the lust car rounded the curve.
"I can't quite accustom myself to it."
ho Mild, slowly; "this new girl who has
taken Hie place of the other, of the girl

"i Kimw more about It," she declared,

when she received tho letter hardly a
day after Boxon'a departure, she did

terrier, and together they went Into
the woods. Here, sitting among tbo
ferns wilh tbo blackberry thlokel at
her back and the creek laughing below,
she read and reread the pages.
For a while she sat stunned, her

In a video as nearly plaintive as
she ever allowed It lo be:
"I don't like It. I don't want him

her bead upward—-"yet, l guess I
ihouldn't have much use for him If bo

i 'i'he terrier evidently approved the
sentiment, for he cocked his head
I gravely to the side, and slowly wagged
lis stump tall.
But lho girl did not remain long In
Idleness. Fur a time, her forehead
delicately corrugated under tho
stress uf rapid thinking as she sat, her
fingers clasped about lier updrawn
knees, ihon she rose and hurried to
Horton House. There were things to
In* done and done at once, and it was
her fashion, once reaching resolution,
act quickly.
It was characteristic of Duska that,
ton Into her full confidence, because it
Wiis necessary that Mrs. Horton should
be ready to go with her, as fast as
trains and steamers could carry them,
to a town called Puerto Frio in South
America, and Smith America was
lite a long way off. Mrs. Horton hiid

seemed cool enough for energy or

There were several days uf this to be

whistle screeched iis lost warning of
departure, u belated passenger came
over the shi.- _rom a frantically-driven
rowboat. The painter was looking
listlessly uui ai tin- green coast line,
ami did nut notice lhe new arrival.
The newcomer followed his luggage
up the gangway to the deck, his forehead streaming perspiration, his none-
too-fresh gray flannels spnshod with
salt water. At thc top. ho shook the
hand *.f tho second officer, wiih the

"I guess that was close!" he announced, as lur mopped his face with it

Tlio officer looked up. with a quick,

"Good," suid tho newcomer, energetically, "That machinery must bo

The lardy passenger was tall, a bit

might have boon handsome except that
the ah-rtness was suggestive of the fox

Saxon, turning from the hutch, caught
only a vanishing glimpse of a lull,

himself went io his stateroom to fresh-

As Ihe painter emerged from his

Ua billing, but revolutionary muskets

to the coast village La Punta, five
miles above Puerto Frio.
Not knowing that a conspirator was
hiding awuy in a cabin through fear of

He had been asking himself during
tlie length of his -journey whether

familiarity. Ho luul climbed the slippery landing stairs with the oppressing
consciousness thai he might step at
iheir top Into it new world—or an old
and forgotten world. Now. he drew to
one side, iind swept liis eyes questlon-
ingly about.
Beforo him stretched a broad open
space, through which the dust swirled
hot and indolent. Beyond lay thc Plaza
ttf Santo Dnining... and nn th*- twin
towers of its church two crosses leaned
dismally askew. a few barefooted
natives slouched across the sun-refracting square, their shadows blue
against the yellow heat. Saxon's gaze
swum: steadily about the radius of
sight, hut his brain, like p paralysed
nerve, touched with the testing-electrode, gave no reflex no response.
Thero was a leap nt his heart which

The old cathedral takes up a square.

Core its triple, iron-studded doors
stretches a tiled terrace. At its right
runs ti side-street, and, attracted by a
patch of clambering vine on tlie time-
stained walls, where the moon fell full
upon Ihem, Saxon turned into tlio byway. At tlie far end, tht! facade rose
blankly, fronting a hare drill-ground,
and thoro he halted. The painter had
nol counted on the moon. Now, as he
took his place against the wall, it bathed lilin In an almost effulgent whiteness. The shadows of the abutments

thiit this expression was not that of
a man bent on mere thievery, it had
more depth and evil satisfaction, it
was the look of a man who turns a

As the painter gazed at the face and

flrst sentiment was less nne of Immediate peril lhan of argument with
himself. Surely, sn startling a denouement Bhould serve to revive his memory, if he bad faced other muzzles

When the man with the pistol spoke,
it was in words that were Illuminating.

charged with a bravado that somehow
seemed to lack genuineness.
"i.iist time, you expected to be carried away dead and went away living.
This time, yuu expected to walk awuy
iu safety, and, Instead, you've got to
die. Vour execution was only delayed."
lie gave a shorl. nervous laugh, then
his volco came near breaking an he

Rodman halted breathless, ami stood
wllh his fiat chest rising and falling

How to Cure

An Experienced Horseman Solemnly
Declares Nothing is So Satisfactory as Nerviline
Snys Nerviline Is Fine Liniment
"After fifty years' experience in. raising horses l can safely testify that no
remedy gives such guud results fur an
all-round stable liniment us Nerviline."
Thus opens the very earnest loiter of
J. J. Kvanslon, who lives near Wellington. "I had it very valuable horse that
took distemper n month ago, and was
afraid I was going In lose him. His

THE IMPROVED SUBMARINE
ihul Cnptnln "Nemo" of tin* Nautilus
patrolled ih<- iimhrseas today he would
probably have "bulled up" against a
submurlne equipped to send blm in lhe
bottom.
The year 1012 will mark ii record In
the -lev. lopinent .*i the submarine. Km*
iln* liist lino- submarines aro In be
armed wuh guns. England, the United
States, ami Germany hnvo Introduced
small ordnance in nev*. designs. Those
guns, ui course, are nol Intended to
give battle to a Dreadnought, against
which their discharge would take effect
like peanuts, hut to attack the con-
ning-towers and bulla nf hostile submarines and fm* defense against an
enemy's destroyers, i ine vessel just
completed in BSngland carries on a disappearing mount a small quick-firing
gun, vvhi.h, when tlu__l_jut is .about
to dive, sinks into thc interior of tbe
hull, where two water-tight doors close
down on it.
Sunu of tho newest submarines have
three torpedo tubes twu in the bow
iind one in the stern. Experts predict
.1 gnat future fur this typo of craft,
which, they claim, will shortly replace
destroyers and torpedo-boats. The
main difficulty is that submarines lio
su lnw in the water lhat the field of
vision irnm their bridge is limited. To
aid her the vessel is usually accompanied hy a cruiser. When the enemy
is located by wireless telegraphy this
parent ship will retire. The submarines will run iu. showing only from
time to time their periscopes above
water, i nless the enemy he moving
fast away, thoy have every chance «*f
souring hits. (inn-tire cannot affect
them. They offer tm target submerged.
There is nothing, in short, tu unnerve
their crews and thoy can close in until
their torpedoes cannot miss.
There remains to bo overcome one
fundamental fault In the submarine;
Us slow* speed under water. In ihls respect, three British submarines lust
year were subjected lo an endurance
tost of nine thousand miles, Starting
from Portsmouth, ihey accomplished
the voyage tu Hong-Kong in ten weeks
and a dny, Stnppages for fuel, repainting, etc,, wore made at Gibraltar,
Tunis, and Malta. Tin- Sue/ canal was
safely negotiated at a speed uf twelve
knots, itil truffle being suspended to
permit ihe passage. Further calls before the squadron reached Us desl illation were ii couple of days, respectively, ai Aden and Colombo, The voyage
was entirely without accident, since an
officer who was washed overboard
from one submarine was rescued after
he had h< eu ln the water fifteen minutes.

The Key to Yesterday
(Conlinuetl)
"Vuu know I'm frightened, und you're throwing a bluff. You'ro a fool not
to realize that it's because I'm so
frightened thai I am capable of killing
you. I've craned my neck around

I sec your plan as If ll was printed on

lb-re, ;it least, Saxon could .-speak,
ami speak truthfully,
"i don't know anything, or caro anything, about your plans," ho retorted,
curtly,
"Thai's ;i damned lie!" almost
shrieked Uie other uuin. "H's just your

more normally otieo again, as his courage gullied its second wind.
Sa.s.ui was fonclng for time. Incidentally, ho was learning profusely
uboul the revolution nf tomorrow, but
nothing nf the revolution of yesterday.
"I neither know, nor want to know,
anything about your dirty work," ho
said, shortly. "Moreover, if ynu think
I'm bent nn vengeance, .vmi sire a
damned fool to lell me."
Rodman laughed satirically.
"t ih, I'm md so cosy its you givo me

then wont on tempestuously. "1'U tell

it already, and, in the second place,
ynu'll never repeat any Information

my reason for tint killing ymi right at
He- start is ihat I've -,-nt a fancy for
telling you the true facts, whether you
choose in believe them "i* not. It will
ease my conscience afterward."
Saxon stood waiting for the next
move, bracing himself for an opportunity tinn might present itself, the
pistol muzzle still pointed at his chest.
"I'm imt timid." went on the other,
"Vou know nt*-. Howard Rodman,
speakln' in genoral. takes his chances.
Hut I am afraid of ymi. more afraid
than I am of the devil in bell. I know**
I can't bluff you, I saw ymi stand
against this wall with the soldiers out
there in front, and. since you can't be
frightened off, you musi be killed."
The man's voice gathered vehemence
us he talked, and bis face showed
growing agitation. "And the horrible
part is that It's all a mistake, lhal I'd
rather be friends with yuu. if you'd
let mo. I u.ver was Inform.mt agfllnst

lb- paused, exhausted liy bis panic
and his How of words. Sax on, with
strong effort, collected bis staggered
uses.
"Why do you think I come for vengeance?" he askod.
Why do I think 117" The thin man
laughed bitterly. "Why. Indeed? Wlmt
xcopt necessity or Implacable ven-
eance could drive a man in this Godforsaken strip of coast? And you—you

these boundaries Invites imprisonment
..r deatli: What else cnllli! brim; you?
Hut I know* you'd como und. so help

A sudden Idea struck Saxon. This
might In- the cue to draw on the
frlghtenod talker withoui sclf-revoln-
limi.
"Whal do you want mc to believe
were the real facts?" he demanded,
with au assumption of the cold incredulity that seemed expected of him.
The other spoke eagerly,
"Thut morning when Oonernl OJedas'
forces entered Puerto Krlo, und the
government seized me, you were free.
Then, I wns released, nnd you arrested.
You drew your conclusions. Oh, Ihey
were natural enough. Hut, before
hen von, tbey were wrong I"
Saxon felt that, until he had learned
the full story, In* must remain lbo acini*. Accordingly, ho allowed himself a
skeptical laugh, Rodman, stung by
Hie implied disbelief/, limit up his amt-
mcut agalnt
"You think I'm lying, It sounds ton
fishy I * n" course, it was m.v enterprise, It was u revolution of my making. You wero called lu as the smnll

oode nil that. Por mo to have sneri-

wo planned how WO kept apart, Ynu
know that oven you and I mot only
twice, ami that I never even saw your
man, Williams."
Through iho blttornoss of conviction,
it part of Saxon's brain seemed to be
looking on impersonally ami marveling, almosl with amiisoiueiil, at the remarkable position In whieh he found
himself. Hero stood a uian before him
wllh it pistol pressed close to bis chest,
threatening oxecutlon, denouncing,
OUTS Ing, yet all the while giving evidence of terror, almost pleading wltb
his victim to believe his story! It was
tho armed man who was frightened,
wlio dreaded tlic tie! he declared he
wns nbout to commit, And, ns Saxon
stood listening, it dawned upon him. In
the despair of tho moment, that it was
a matter of small concern to himself
whether or not lbo other fired. The
story he had heard had already done
the injury. The bullet would be less
cruel. . . ., Rodman went on:
"1 bent every effort to saving you,
but Williams bad confessed. He was
frightened. It was ids Ilrst experience.
He didn't know of my connection wilh
tho thlny. So help mo Ood, that is the
true version."
The story sickened Saxon, coming to
him ;is it did iu ;i form lie could no
longer disbelieve. Ho raised bis hands
despairingly. At hist, he hoard the
other's voice again,
"When the scrap ended, and yon
were in powor, l bud gone, i was
afraid tn come back, I know whal you
would think, and lien, nfler you left

and stood fm* u moment rearranging
his crumpled cuff witb the dazed manner nf n man who holies for no quarter. Ills lower jaw dropped, and he remained trembling, almost idiotic ut

the filibuster drew himself up really
with dignity. He stretched out both
empty hands, and shrugged bis shoulders.

THE YELLOW GOPHER AND HIS
WAYS
On the level prairie the yellow gopher stands erect, like a short stako,
surveying the easy distance. Supported on his shorl. bushy tall and
hind foot, he rises to his full stature
and seems to be trying hy taking
thought tn add a cubit to it. His
short fore-feet nro invisible against his
body, iind there nre no projecting ears
to destroy the aspect of something inanimate. A serveyor's marking-peg
could not stand more rigidly still and
eould scarcely seem more unlike nn
active little animal. His few inches of
erect stature give him a wide range
over the level prairie, where his ancient
domain lias not been invaded by
house-bulldlng und fence-building bipeds. He likes tbe open area, whore
even the feathery-seeded poplar has
not yet found a foothold. He has nnt.
like bis less resourceful neighbor, the
striped gopher, retreated before the
Invading hosts of civilization. That
little burrower has found his habitations crushed ami destroyed by the
relentless k:ini;-plough, his roadways
cut off and opened up. and himself
exposed to his enemies, tho weasels,
hawks and owls. Though au ally of
the new forces und helping them by
destroying grasshoppers, cutworms,
w'ebworius and other Insects, he has
boon forced to gradually retire Hut
the yellow gopher, more sturdy und
self-assertive, stutuls sentinel near the
opening of his burrow and watches,
without flinching, the advance of civilisation, . As an exponent of the tube
system of transportation be believes
in going sufficiently deep to be out of
the way of other operations, so the
ploughs that destroy tbo tunneled habitations of his striped neighbor pass
unheeded over his head,
lie does not pile uii nn occasional
I ushel or half-bushel of earth along

Tlm following is un address which Is

The tltlfl councillor hus four degrees,
thus; Positive, councillor; comparative, higher councillor; superlative,
privy councillor, and extra superlative,

more other councillors, sueh as councilors of legation, councillors of State,

Church News
Baptist Church—Rev. J. T. Mur-
mll, Minister. Subject for Sunday
evening "The Massacre of St. Bartholomew (The darkest deed in
French History.)
The monthly missionary meeting
of the Epwortli League was held in
the Methodist Churoh lost Monday
evening. The storv of "Ah-Wa
and Ah-Mne," representing mission
work among the Chinese of the Const
cities, was told hy the pastor and
was greatly enjoyed by all present.
Next Monday evening the League
will hold their social gathering on
the parsonage lawn.
The Adult Bible Class of the
Methodist church has outgrown the
vestry in which they have lieen
meeting in the past, and a larger
room has heen provided for occupation next Sunday, The class,
under tiie leadership ol Mr. M.
Willcrloii, meets every Sunday at
2.80 p.iu., and visitors will find
the new place of mooting <sn the
left as they enter the School room
door on Spadina avenue.
Hev. IS. ,1. Douglas delivered nu
OBpccittlly thoughtful nnd well
roasoncd discourse on true Canadian
I'ati'otisni on Sunday evening. His
vision of the subject was wide and
iis treatment vigorous. He showed
how wealth and resources of earth
yielded themselves all down thc
ages, to men of sound principles,
principles which arc maintained by
the Christian nations, and
how nbsoulely necessary it is that
these great sources of wealth and
prosperity must be controlled and
properly distributed by men of
strong moral stamina, in order that
the true nnd lnsting growth nnd
development of Canada may lie assured. Canada has many advantages, and is a veritable mine of
of wealth, but great and necessary
as these things are, Canada depends
upon, needs tirst and waits for
honest upright men, men of high
ideals, broad visions and worthy
motives.
Thc Ministerial Association ot the
Valley held the regular monthly
meeting last Monday at Agassi/.,
where they were the guests of Uev.
J. H. Miller. The Chilliwaek party
consisted of Revs. Douglas, Roberts
and Bunt, with Mrs. Roberts and
Miss Monteith, drove to Agnssiz
with the popular Presbyterian pns-
tor ns Jehu, nnd in accordance with
the well known principles of the
lertominntion he represents, the
procession was properly slow and
stately. However Agassiz was
reached in safely and the meeting
wns held in the Presbyterian Church.
Rov. A. K. Roberts, president, was
in the chair, and there were present,
Revs. Barlow, Stevenson, Miller,
Bunt, McKay and Douglas. Mr.
Barlow reviewed "The Renaiscence
of Faith" by Rev. Richard Roberts,
if Kngland, and so interesting was
the review and discussion that it
wns resolved to continue the study
if the book next month'. Afler the
meeting lunch wns served in tho
Presbyterian Manso nnd n hearty
vote of thanks was accorded Mr.
and Mrs. Miller for iheir kind entertainment of the Association. Thc
aftrcrnonu was spent in tenuis and
croquet thc party returning to Chilliwack in the cool of the evening.
ANNUAL ORANGE SERVICE
The Annual Church service for
members of the Orange Order was
held last Sunday in Ihe Methodist
chinch. The musical programme
was excellent and included a solo,
"The Gentle Shepherd" by Dr.
Pultun. His rendering of this
Iscautiful song was very much enjoyed and lidded much lo the
effectiveness of lhe service. The
Hev. Bro. Itolserls pleached an appropriate sermon on "(silicon and
liis Army". He referred lo the fuel
that the Orange Order stood for
religion, patriotism and philanthropy, nml found satisfaction iu
(he fuel Ihnl much of lho bigotry of
curlier days hnd passed awny. The
Order wns growing in number nnd
Influence in the country and
Ihis lhe spoakor thought wns due to
the higher standards of lifcncceplcd
by all members of (he Order. Lessons were drawn from (he life of
(silicon, from the self sacrillcing
nellon of lhe IKK) men lhat lup|x>il,
and from the victory obtained by
ibis consecrated army. There was
a splendid turnout of uicmlscrs of
the Order, nearly forty lieing
present at the service. At the conclusion of the service in tho church
lbc Orangemen re-iisscinbled iu lhe

thanks to those who had assisted in

SPRING
Tliere is ;i wldo-aproud and Incurable delusion aliout Hprlner. it is manifest in Hi*- yearly tall*: oC an "early"
or "late" spring, whereas there ure no
such things. Spring always begins on
;i winter day when you have gone lo
business in your storm-] is oml ulster, in addition lo your usual llanuels
nn.l heavies! stilt. This turns oul tbe
warmest day of the season, with ti
temperature ol sovciily-elghl degrees,
Ami Bprlng always ends **ii the Juno
dny you have decided to run oul to tbo
Wistaria inn In iln- machine nml havo
luncheon on the veranda. This Is the
coldesl day «»f tho season, nml you
drink hoi coffee in Hn* inn dlnlng-
rdom, wi,i.h hasn't heen aired Blnco tho
previous summer, and blow **ii your
lingers Instead of tho soup.
In between these two days it Is mostly winter.
Spring Ims I n doing this for years
without any variation of programme,
and for the same length of time we
bave deluded ourselves with tbe idea
tbat it was a beautiful season of tho

Upon further reflection, this error
seems to be pnrt of o general self-
deception about the seasons, due, perhaps, to our tendency to generalize
from particular Instances and colo'* remembrance from a single experience.
In the winter of lltor* we may have
had lo dine with friends in Tonkers
on the evening of a heavy snow-storm,
and. afler being found by a neighbor
wandering round more dead than alive
in a frozen dress-shirt on the wrong
terrace this ever afterward becomes
for us "the terrible winter of 1006."
Just as the summer we tried to row
from the pier to the lighthouse with
our strenuous nephew who Is on the
freshman crew becomes "the awfully
hot summer of 190S."
Sr. it Is wiili spring. Perhaps to nil
of us unce in our youth was vouch

springing grass and bird notes when wi

With the Horses
Durlug it'll, live hundred and forty
Percheron horses were Importod into
Canada, Of this number, 117 stallions
[ind 8 man's came from France, and 102
stallion*- and 132 innrcs from the United
state-.. Tlie horses coming front tuu
United States at a conservative valuation, wore worth more than a quarter
id' a million dollars. The trade is in*
eieasiiig in 1012, Between January Nt
and .March 2flth, 1912, one hundred and
sixty nine I'en* herons were Imported
from the United States, and there
seems lo be every probability that Canada will Import «om the United states
during tlie present year IVrrheron
bones to the value of upwards of oue*
hair million dollars. Most of these
horses are boing imported by farmers in
ibe west. Horses are needed in that
fasi developing portion of ilu- Dominion, and lhe horse trade between tic

(By Charles Fleming Embroe)
Out of his duor three blocks from
the plaza in the beautiful city of Mor-
eMit went Barbaro in haste. He wns
strong and broad, of the servant class,
Halting before Gil, the cobbler, who
sat at his bench sume distance awuy,
he seemed to be held by Gil's prying
eye. "When one gets along badly with
one's wife," snld he, looking tragic uml
aghast, "one had better leave." Having thus justified himself he disappeared into the muny-streeted future.
In tlie poor little rented room from
whieh he hud escaped snt bis wife,
Martina, with two children; nntl Gil
came prying about, wondering how
mnny weeks he hnd best wait till he
ran off wllh her, or took her withoui
running off. Martina wus calm and
Indifferent. "God wills," snld she.
After a linn* Inr third baby was
born, it wns n i r place fer a baby
t.i como tn two chairs, n board bod,
ami n few pets uii the brnsoro; and
il ther children somewhat soiled. So
tin* youngster, having ond ti rod it a
week, began to pine, The cobblor put
his llOUd in at III.' WInduW, peered iill
about, and snld: "II is (folng to die."

the bench surrounded hy trees, fountains, and church towers. Why, that
was a queer band, and there wns a
bal u bowing frum lhe top of something. Her face was full uf absent-
minded interest, nnd her jaw hung a
little down. Tin- baby would wait;
she ran round the comer to see where
the bund went, and yonder there was a
flght, and a saint coming down the
street; and a Rood deal going un.
Barbara had got a job us mozo In the
rich home of Dona Luisa Negrete. The

Indian-like husband died. Then her
baby was burn. Her doctor adhered
t * the mediaeval custom uf keeping the
room dark when anybody had fever.
Por a week l.uisa was exceedingly ill.
and she eould feel her child, but not
see it plainly. She yearned and hug-

got weaker and cuiitd hardly even cry.
Poor girl—she wanted it so. "Oh,
doctor, can't I. can't 1 have the shutters open today?" she pleaded; "1 want

chambermaid knelt down; then the
doctor Bald: "Senora, the baby is
dead."
Bhe uttered a moan whicli rent Barbara's heart. What would Im not do
lit bring her baby back: She wanted It
so.
The doctor called him out. "Here is

was exquisitely adorned. He looked
aboul fearfully, and no one was observing blm, for some excitement round
a corner hud mnde everybody run. Tin
trees waved happily at him, while a
Church boll promised everything good.

rattled in Ills pockol and eould be his
forever. Many good things oft

When Martina came buck she stared
nil about; she walked from one side
of the park to the other, ami In und

suid to Home who stood looking ut n

They hud nol; nml alter n linm she
bethought herself to tak<* one more

withoui noise. The doctor was gone;
Lulsa's aunl was coming; the mother
luy as though unconscious; and the
maid tiptoed behind htm In the darkness. At a window was a faint light;
nnd near it on a chair itnrhiirn set

Heboid, a naked child! Ills llesh crept
and he went down on Ids knees shuk-

lie! Such were his Inevitable thoughts,
while tbe littio thing lay peaceful. Ho
culled forth all his powers, shut his
eyes, put In his hands, and lifted It
out. He hid 11 on a ehair in tho dark;
and now, us though some supernatural
thing had como tu haunt him, there
broke out on the stillness an infant's
wail, Barbaro, who had risen to his
feet, tottered. From lhat it cume—
that—that! His hands had touched it,
his eyes had seen it dead. And now
how wildly it wiis shrieking!
The maid gabbled out. Jjiiisa, with
gasps, sought to raise herself and
could not. "Barbarol Barbarol" she
cried. "It is alive!"
"Si, senora," muttered he, frozen.
"Barbarol Give It to mc!"
"Ki, senora," snUl he, thickly, uud
eould not mill bis feel from the floor.
"Give ii io in.' now! I want it

"Sl, scnum." He Btared Into ihe reverberating dark, ami could not move

'God wills," replied Martina.
'I see," said Harbaro again, "that

"Yes, he Is big," nhe said.
Thoro was a pause; he was like the

"Oh, yes, it had."
"How, then, did it die?"

"Ah, yes," he sighed heavily. "God

"Two days hefore Corpus Chrlstl."
"Hm, There was a story that somo

She took Uie spoon out of the beans.
"I laid it down u minute."
He rested his chin in his hands. "Did

"'Hi, yes; 1 buried it."
Now till withdrew from the window

presently thrust in liis heud again.
Then It was that the emotion of
Harbaro, roused to double strength by
Martina's Indifference, broke out; he
arose mul cried, pnsslonntely: "Vou

with his head iu bis hands. At length
he suid: "Martina, don'l vou want thut

"Why, yes," sbe said; "only it is probably well placed."

"1 don't see what you want to hang

one of luxury.
Surely, thought Barbaro, that picture must win .Martina, yet felt within blm a perverse hope that It might

with her hands, stared lon^. At last
she turned to him anil said: "God hud

OLD BLUE TABLEWARE IN GROW

At a recent auction salo of a private
collect ion of house furnishings in New
York au old blue Staffordshire platter
measuring 14 by ISA Inches was sold
for *l,__.". In P.lir.t ul a similar sale its

today.
"Old Idiie" has bocomo one nf the

platters ami other things present many
scenes of a hundred years ago. This is
the basis nf old blue's historical interest.
Its other elements of attraction lies
In Its decorative quality. Although
ninny of tho pieces are deficient in fine
ilctail of decoration becnuso of the
vicissitudes of the process hy wliieli the
designs were printed on paper from

lUnoch Wood, Andrew Stevenson, .1.

Rldgwuy, Ralph Stevenson and T.
Mayer are the best known names of tho
ICnglish makers of old blue tableware.
Specimens of Iheir work are still to be
found frequently in the antique shops.
Prices vary iu proportions to the reputed rarity of the subjects, the condition of the pieces, tho eagerness of the
collector and the necessities of the dealer. Current quotations on a few of the
best known subjects will serve in :i
general way to Indicate general market
conditions.
Tlic Clows plate. "Landing of Gen.
Lafayette," ten inches in diameter, is
valued at $20, ami one specimen can be
had for $1_ because it is chipped and
cracked. Might ur nine years ago JIG
would have been a fair price for this
plate ia good condition, The "Landing
f Lafayette" view is considered essen
tial in every good collection of old blue
and is a good one to employ as a test of
market conditions. It came out in 1824
as a souvenir of Gen. Lafayette's visit
to America, and the picture was taken
from Battery Park when the uld Castle
Garden fort was connected with the
mainland hy a foot bridge. A "Land-
high. with no imprint but undoubtedly
by Clews, with the Mattery picture on
both sides ami tlie inscription beneath
the nose, can be had at present for $14.
A pair of Lafayette plates five ami a
half Inches in diameter were recently
bought for $17, ami plates six ami a
half or seven uml three-quarter indies
in diameter are worth from $10 to $15,
Another favorite Is ttie " 1'ittsficl.i
Klin" by Clews. Twenty dollars is the
price at present for a perfect nine-
Inch plate, while ten years ago a ten-
inch soup plate, with the same pattern
was sold at private sale for *M0. This
design must have appeared subsequent
ly to 1883, the year ia which the fence
shown around the tree was erected to
prevent its further use as n hitching
post. This ohl elm became famous iu
Revolutionary 'lays, when a patriotic
clergyman enlisted n company nf Van
keo farmers under it for service against
tin* llritish.
Kvery collector of Staffordshire
knows about the "States" series by
clews. It conslstod of a dozen or more
subjects with a border giving the names
of fifteen states in a series of festoons.
A medallion of Washington and female
figures of America and Independence
are always in evidence in the design. A
line largo "States" platter sold at auction in Boston ten years ago for $40,
Today a nine inch plate in perfect con
dition is offered for $13, Another Xew
York shop has a "Suites" plate six ami
three-quarters inches in diameter ia
tmod condition which it holds at $12
ami one nf the same size has just been
sold at auction for ?°.
The ttidgway "Beauties nf America"
series nf nineteen views nf almhouses.
insane asylums, churches, city halls and
olher public buildings always has been
a prima favorite with collectors. One
of the liest known subjects is the "City
Hall, Xew York." A shop has one of
these plates, cracked ami chipped, fur
which $ln is nsked. Twenty dollars
would be the price nf the plate were it
in good condition.
This is one of the subjects that have
Attracted those who make spurious «»i.i
Staffordshire, Specimens imve to lie
exnmined carefully fur the old stilt
marks, ami thev should bear the Rldg-
way mark, which is always used nn the
"Beauties of America." with the name

"I>r. Btaughton's church, Philadelphia," was another of the "Beauties."
ami au eight-Inch plate in deep form has
recently changed owners fnr $14. Still
another recent sale was nf a snap tureen
with cover and tray, the tureen decor
ntcd with Ihe Host on almshouse ou each
side, (he cover with a view of Harvard
college, and the tray witli tin* deaf ami
dumb asylum al Hartford. The price
was $80.
Ail nmiisiiie strain marks the selection of the American views liy the Brit
ish pollers. Thev seem to have had a
stnnu; predilection for asylums, hospitals and other institutions which in the
early days were hardly beautiful, architecturally speaking, ami this particular
specimen, in which n soup tureen is employed ns (he medium for depicting Harvard college between au almshouse ami
a deaf and dumb asylum, is about the
quaintest concept imi of all.
Joseph Stiibhs was one of the loss
prolific producers of blue SUiffnnlshire,
but his work is considered especially
lesirnble ou account nf its dark blue
•nlnring, its carefully executed design
and its handsome borders of flowers,
scrolls and eagles. Stubbs has less than
twenty American views, though he wns
in the bUllneN nearly forty years, beginning in 1700, One of his views of
the New York .ity hull on a plate six
ami one-half Inchoi in diameter brought
$13 a few days ago. A largo plate,
Bhowing '' I'pper Perry Uridyl* ovor
River Schuylkill,-" badly timoworn but
with no cracks, is held lit $14. Stubbs'
platters, sixteen or eighteen inches, are
ai present worth from $50 to $7_, the
"Boston Stale House" heing a favor
ite. A colloctor who recently picked
up a Stubbs ten imh plate of "Philadelphia, near Palrmouut," for $11- got n
bargain.
Olher old Staffordshire workers who
departed often from the blue traditions
hut whose pieces are much admired are
the Adams family, father and two sous.
It is said that, William, the father, was
at, one time a favorite pupil of the famous .losiuh Wedgwood. English views
predominated in tlie Adams assortment,
imt the American views were carefully
chosen,

to hnve been tapped fnr twenty-llv
years, but after that time produced
only from hnlf a pound lo _ pounds of
sap. If allowed lo resl live or six
yeurs they will produce from ,1 to ">
pounds. Trees tapped for the lirst
time will produce from \~, to _r, pounds
of gum or sap. according to size. In
order tn produce 25 pounds a tree
would hnve to square about _ feet and
be from 25 tu 30 feet high.
The chicle industry extends frum
Tuxpam as far as tbe oxlreme southern
portion nf Yucatan, which produces
the largest yield, hul in quality the
gum is inferior to that obtained from
the Tuxpam district. The latter gum
commands a higher price iu the United
States, to which It Is almost exclusively shipped.
Quantity nml quality nf imports of
chicle Into tbe United Slates from 1901
to 1910, Inclusive, are as follows:
Year. Pounds. Value
1901 3,140,768 $753,696
1902 4,574,005 9:16,06.-,

The chicle season npens curly in
September, though lhe yield at this
lime is often limited, owing to tho
frequent rains wblcb retard the chle-
leros in tbelr work. The rainy season
Is favorable to an abundant flow nf
sup, provided |t is not prolonged beyond October, lu which cuse sap would
contain a larger proportion nf wuter.
ami the loss in condensation would be
heavy and Hie product Inferior.
The prut-ess nf extracting the sap is
primitive. Opon Y-shaped Incisions
ire made iu Uie tree trunks. At the
base of encb tree n palm or other
nproprlnte loaf Is fastened, which acts
as a leader or gutter frum which the
ble drips Intu the receptacle placed
receive It, Tbe sap as It Hows into
the Incisions is a beautiful whii-, bus
the consistency of light cream, but ns
it runs down it gradually becomes
more VISCOUS, until, as it drops into the
receiving receptacle, it is of the density
if heavy treacle. When the receptacle
Is Riled It Is emptied into u large imn
kettle nml boiled to evnpotule llie
wnler. which amounts In nbout 25 per
cent, uf the sup. As Uie boiling progresses tiie chicle thickens, nml when
it has reached the propor consistency
ll Is kneaded (n ex true I more of the
water content, and Is then shaped by
band Into rough, unovsn loaves weigh"
lug r, io 80 pounds, if carefully cook*
mi it is of ii whitish-groy shado; if
•arelessly handled ami Improperly
boiled II is nf u dirty dark grey. When
prepared with extra care It is of a
lighl pinkish color. The sap freshly
ixtraoted will weigh ubout 7 tn s
pounds to the gallon. It is very adhesive, and Is extensively employed for
repairing broken articles and fastening
leather tips to billiard cues.
TROLLEY WITHOUT TRACK8
Two Somewhat unusual transportation systems nre to be found at Los
Angeles, Cab, a trackless trolley and
three incline railways which lead to
Various hilly sectlnns. The trackless
trolley Is subl in be the only une of Its
kind in the country and consists of tho
regular overhead wires, hut no tracks,
ihe cars running on tbe ordinary
street paving. The ears are entirely
different from the regulation street
ear; in fad, lhe first to be installed
was a rebuilt automobile, equipped
wiih th.- proper electrical apparatus
ami two overhead rods to connect with
lhe wires. The two ears in use at the
present time resemble an omnibus,
laclty of sixteen passengers
furnished With a steering
that used nn autos. They

io ihe automobile traffic along that
road. The .ars turn out readily in

nnd lhe expenses nre light, only lhe

The incline railroads an- sllll shorter,
Two of them run from Un- business
district tn ih tjaeeiii heights known
as "Hunker's lllll." u thickly settled
npnrtmont house district. Tb.- distance is only one block, but ih.- grade
is very steep. The fare is only one
ceni fm- commuters, Ave cents for a
single fare, or three persons in i parts
I'm* leu cents. Some of iii.- hotels on
the bill give tickets in their patrons.
These roads operate by n cable whhh
draws the cars to lhe top <>f the in-
cine, olectric pow.r being u-v-d for
driving ihe cable. There is but one
track, wilh a "turn out" in the middle
where the ascending and

at the top, and also receives the tares,
A feature of these roads is < rest pavilion, free to Um public, and .in observation tower, which are appreciated hy tourists. The company t? said
to pay un exceedingly high rate of interest on the Investment.
The third of the incline railways,
and the latest to be installed, was built
to connect a newly opened real estate

THE ANDROMEDA NEBULA
one of the most astonishing objects
In the heavens Is the great nebula In
the constellation Andromeda, which
Is visible as n misty speck lo Uu* naked
eye. It Ims long pussled astronomers
because, while its structure-- a series
nf vast rings surrounding a central
ss suwrn'sts a gaseous constitution,
its spectrum is continuous, resembling
that of (lie sun. lt bus been suggested
that it may be composed nf stars enn-
SltUtlng a universe external to ours.

of the well-known stars, such as t'ap-

points ..ut that If Uie Andromeda
nebula were assumed to be an external
universe, having a diameter 'ompar-
ble wltb thai of the Milky Way. Its
mass would be forty million million
million times tlie mass of tlie sun.
This is regarded as Incredible and so
may %v taken as an additional argument In favor ..f the view that this
nebula Is a member uf onr system.
