A sound outside Startled her,\nuntil she remembered that Santiago's\nmother had come lo weep and lament\nwith her own mother. Out there, lu the\npatio, thoy were lamenting and walling with loud cries. Mow eould they\ndo It like tlmt\u00E2\u0080\u0094walling and shrieking\nso that the neighbors could bear? How\nangry Santiago would be If he could\nhear them making nih-Ii n noise over\nhim! She east one more pitiful glance\nat the Virgin, but the sweet, calm face\nwas so quiet, so restful, so little disturbed. What was ihe use to ask her\nanything? No, there was no help. Sho\nstood up, tottering, ami moved over to\nthe window, Thero was no ono lu\nsight; the hot sunshine [ibiu'ed down on\ntliu yellow sandy street and Ihe gray\nadobe walls.

It was all so ordinary, so every-\ndny; and yet Santiago was to be allot\nto-morrow! That Is, unless she could\nthink of a plan to save him.\nThere wns a sudden clatter, and the\nchildren scattered rapidly, with many\nduckings and bobblngs of llielr small,\nfat bodies, ns good Padre Francisco, on\nhis pacing mare, turned the corner and\nwent rapidly down Hie street. Behind\nliim rode a mono on a hacienda horse.\nPanchlta thought dully that some ouo\nat the pulque hacienda of San .limn\nmust be very ill and wanted the padre\nfor confession. It would lie a long ride\nfor the good old man, because San\nJuan was many miles nway. lie would\nbo absent from the town for over a dny.\nPulling at the strings of his soutane,\nPadre Francisco rode ou, his old black\ncloak flapping In the breeftc.

Perhaps, If she\nasked her father, be would allow her to\ntake the cloak tluil bad belonged to her\nuncle, a priest of the same order\nPadre Francisco, to give to the hitter\ngood man. And the hood that the padre\nwore, eo ver lug ids heed and nearly all\nIds face\u00E2\u0080\u0094was ever anything seen like\nIt? One could, of a surely, wear It to a\nmasquerade; perhaps she might borrow\nIt for the next \"Balle de Mnsenros.\" At\nthe thought 3he laughed and dioked\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nit would be a gootl disguise.\nThe next moment nlie was weeping\nher heart out, pressing passionate kisses on ttie com iet*t or tut* ivory ounst;\nlie had heard her, after all, nud the\nVirgin had helped hor\u00E2\u0080\u0094Interceded for\nher!

The good\nfather was silently telling his beads,\nand tbe soldier bowed humbly and\ncrossed himself as he opened the door,\nspeaking uo word. For no Catholic Is\nprivileged to address a priest who Is\ncounting his rosary-betids\u00E2\u0080\u0094It Is a sign\nthat silence Ih desired.\nThe cell door ojt-ened and closed silently nfter the padre, and ihe watches\noutside heard a smothered, Impatient\nejaculation from Private Moreno, who\nwas smoking a cigarette and trying to\nwrite tluitadlos to Panchlta.

Tiie\nuse of the enemy's flag is permissible in\nwar within certain Imitations. According\nto one writer, quoted in a Washington\ndisputch: \"Tin* regulations of the United\nStates navy statu that the use of a foreign llag to deceive an enemy is permissible, hut that it must bo hauled dowu beforo a gun is tired, and under no circumstances is an action to bo commenced ur\nun engagement fought without the display of the national ensign.\"\nAnother authority says: \"It is forbidden in war on laud to mako uso of the\nenemy's Hag for purpose of deceit. On\nthe sou tho national Hug of a public armed\nvessel must he displayed before un engagement begins or a capture is made.\"\nt'his implies that llio enemy's llag may bo\nused for purposes of deceit up to tlm time\nof firing, when the ship's own colors must\nhe displayed.

IIkiiaui lias iiiaititfiineil frnm the\nstart that Cranbrook wns the natural location fur tlii; leading city of South Hast\nKootenay. The events of the past few\nweeks is rapidly proving that everybody\nis of the same opinion. Men are com-\nIng to Cranbrook from every part of the\ndistrict, as well as from all parts of Canada and the United States. They know\nnow that the future of this city is settled\nand that from tliis time forward the\ngrowth will be rapid aud solid.\nAnd why not?\nFrom one end of Kast Kootenay to another, in fact in either lUst or West\nKootenny there is not a town today that\nhas the bright future that is Craubrook. It is now recognized as the\nmining, commercial ami railroad center of one ot the grealeost min\neral districts Jin British Columbia, It\nis not on paper. Ou the contrary it is a\nI.ving, palpitating, persistent, potential\nfact. Within thirty days lime the main\nline of the Crows Nest FoBB road will be\ncompleted to Cranbrook. Already a surveying party, in charge of Engineer\nRichardson, is running a line from Cran\nbrook across the St. Marys to the North\nStar mine aud Sullivan group. Plans\nhave been prepared for the extensive\nrailroad buildings, such as round house,\nEl'.ops, depot, section house, etc., and\nwork will b\u00C2\u00AB inaugurated without delay.\nThen, there are good things in store for\nCranbrook thnt will make Ibis town the\nlode stone of the 1-Coolen.iys. People are\nnaturally attracted by prosperity. IIu-\nmaiiily taku to it like a duck takes to\nwater, and the success of Cranbrook is\nattracting the attention of llie capitalist\nand the laboring man as well,\nDotl't wnit too long.\nTht way to take advantage of opportunities is lo act without delay. Cranbrook today often opportunities that are\nnot offered by any other town in the\nProvince. It is a growing town, and\ngrowing towns are guld *nines lolive pvo-\nple. And those are the ki>>l of people\none will find here. Already it is the\ntown of ihe district. Its population is\nincreasing daily. Many buildings nre iu\ncourse of construction, and plans for\nmany more are being prepared.\nHeautil'nl Cranbrook and business Cranbrook'. That is n combination that te a\nwinner.\nSHADOWSOF COMING EVENTS\nThe publishers of Till-: IIi-.lf.Al.ii lay\nno special claim to foresight moicsluewd\nIhatl the rest of humanity, bill they believe that ihey can see through a millstone\u00E2\u0080\u0094-wiih a hole in it. Furthermore,\nthey are desirous of keeping pace wi h\nthe progress of the community in which\nthey live, and are not averse to taking\na few tleps ahead of the actual needs ol\nthe place at the present time, knowing\nfull well that advance steps taken now\nwill simply prepare them the better for\nthe demand:. Ihat are soon to follow.\n.Willi this idea iu view the publishers\nare now receiving for use iu Cranbrook\nthe best printing plant in tbe Kootenny*.\nThe small plant with which llie IIi-.kau-\nwas stalled was ninple for the needs a I\nthat time. Hut already Cranbrook lm \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nforged so far ahead Unit it became hIiso\nlutety necessary to make Immediate im\nprovetnents and extensive additions tn\nthe office now in use. Ily lhe first of\nAugust this office will have the large, t\nCylinder press in the Mtoteiiay.-i, iu ope\nration, a fine jobber, paper cutter, perforator, numbering machire, and au assortment of type that will satisfy any\nman thai Tm, H&R.A.D is established for\nthe purpose of meeting the demand for\nfine printing, not only iu Cranbrook but\nthroughout the entire district. A steam\nengine and boiler has been shipped from\nPortland, Oregon, for operating the plant\nand in a short lime Tin, Cranbrook\nIIj.raU), like the town itself, will be in\nin the lead.\nSuccess begets success. Tlie people of\nCranorook appreciate this fact.\nTo live in Cranbiook is to live in a live\ntown. That means a good deal in these\ntimes.\nThe war between the United S-atcs\nand Spain seems to be a walk-over for\nthe Stales.\nA grip-sack went out of Fort Sleele\nFriday, and attached to one side of it\nwas a man named Baillie.\nIf Captain Bob Evans was right ill his\ndeclaration Spanish must be the prevailing language in hell these days.\nThe best lime to move to Craubrook\nis at once. The earlier tou are on lhe\nground the better will be your opportunities.\nIt is extremely satisfactory to be located in the best town in a district ns large\nas Kast Kootenay. That is why Tm-;\nIIj'.uai.d is happy these days.\nIly the 15th of August Cranbrook, the\nleading town of Bast Kootenay. will have\nrailroad conn et ion with the outside\nworld.\nThe best point in Bast Kootenay fur a\nfirst-class brewery is at Cranbrook. A\nbrewery here could supply the territory\nextending from Canal Flats to the boundary line, and from Moyie to Coal Creek.\nDid Not Appear.\nJudge Hutchison had bis first case\ndocked for Saturday last\u00E2\u0080\u0094a case of drunk\nand disorderly.
