Young,Poyereina was well informed as to tho desperate character'of the man be was dealing with, and he kuew that it would'be useless to exchange words with him. Ife, reached the hacienda before morning, where he found everything in confusion and the whole family in the greatest distress. Quickly explaining, the situation to his father, the,young man fell upon his knees and confessed his love for the American girl. ' "No'ruatter as to that," said tbe gen-' erous old man. "Wo must save her. Truly, I know this Cortinas. ancl a more-heartless, merciless wretch never lived. Take faithful, oid, Balmaceda' with .you. Bring a' pack mule to the door, and I will have the gold ready." Both parties reached 'the summit of Mount Blanco at-nearly tfle same in- ' stain.' , ' - ,,. The-Texas girl was not yet aware of the fact that she was being ransomed, and she saidT"When I saw the pack- mule unloaded aud (he sacks containing great gold bars and.coined gold emptied in a groat heap. I stood like one in a dream, wondering what it all. meant. A pole was accurately measured in "order to find the exact center, and then it was balanced across another pole, one end of which rested aipon a limb of the lone oak. while the other was sustained" by a, gentle 'horse. A strong sack was attached to one end of the balance pole, and a loop made of a lariat was thrown over the'-other end. ��� ��� t 1 ' The now thoroughly -amazed young woman was requested to'seat herself in that loop. ���, t Gold was poured -into the sack until an.exact equipoise had bee.n established between the gold and the body of the girl. "Not another grain." exclaimed the bandit with a grandiloquent air. "I said she was worth her weiglit in gold, and the amount has been attained. Not another cent The word of Cortinas is his bond. Let us separate. " With all my heart I wish you well. Remember mo kindly to your father, young man." While the bandit was forming and uttering these words bis confederates were, packing the irold ancl mounting their horses. Only a few moments passed before they were galloping away, leaving thoir released captives so utterly bewildered with joy that they could hardly unci language to express their feelings. "The enormous sum of gold rested upon my mind like some hideous nightmare," she says.

For several years he was almost a constant invalid, the result of an injury to his spine while 'working with his brothers on the farm. He grew: weak and listless,"had no appetite, and for two years was, unable to work and was, for the most of-the time confined to the house, and for a, part of the time to his bed. He suffered considerably from pains in the back ; his legs were weak, and he had fre- ���quent headaches. At different, times he was attended<-by two doctors, [but got no' benefit 'from the treatment. Then I procured an electric belt for him, but it was simply money wasted as it did not do him ,a particle of good.' One day while my son was reading a newspaper, he came across an article telling of a' cure in a somewhat shnilar case through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and he then decided ' to give them a trial. After the second box was taken there was a-marked improvement' in hi^ condition, lie continued the use of the pills until he had taken eight boxes, and,they have restored him to health; His appetite has returned ; the pain has left his, back; he has gained flesh; is able to ride a. bicycle, enjoys life and is able to do' a day's work as well as any one of Lis age. ��� This, letter is given gladly'.so that 'others may learn the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and find a cure if ailing.''

She kept on walking because she was oj*ra.id to stop. Twice she slipped and fell and cut her hands. -Under the porous, piled-up rock, rabbits and., owls'.and qr.ail were hidden; there were snakes, too, and lizards. At firat siie -was frightened when they scurried by -her, but soon, with h^r head ringing and her eyes dazed with congested blood and her mouth open and as dry as flour, sh* did not even notice them. * _ She reached tlie end Of the huge rock river at last, and found the ambulance waiting. The driver was asleep, _a-nd :ne rimjor was drinking been-., He .offered her some,-and when- sho had drunk it sfie held out her broad little foot!"' ^ "My shoes axe all cut to pieces, and they were new and awfully heavy." 'Ton shotuld have kept still," ho answered. Now-, Miss Spencer wanted sympathy, nnd when she didn't get it she took a dislike to the major; and because she disliked him, eha eventually made him -:orry. For line first fortnight of her visit she was not pretty. She was sunburned from her passage of the lava sea. Her face was red and swollen, then blotchy, and dasrlly peely. After that sho returned to the normal pink and white She was the only, girl at the post, and ' there was a bachelor, a brevet bachelor, R. A. SMITH, Moyie.1 EEA.it MaoEa'cjiubs & Macdoxaldb.

Ue respected John,'as did all' who knew the manly young fellow, but that did not prevent him from cherishing a feeling of jealouey toward'him, -It'Beemed to Roberfc that the honors ought naturally to' come to him, because he occupied a >��� social position "which the other did not. He did not caro about,tbe scholarship as a scholarship, but it would.gratify his pride to wm it nway from his rival, and at> he. made up his mind to secure it If it .were possible to do so.'

I give you fair warning of that." "All right, ii you .win fairly," answered5^ John, with one of his bright, .pleasant smiles that made his face attractive. "Jpshall try very hard to get the start of you, but, of course, I may fail to do so. If I do, you may be very sure that it won't be because I.didn't do my best." -v "Of course, tk,6 .prize lies between us," .said Robert.
