"Well, as you know, Don Hernando t'ortess was tho conquistador -tho man who won all this country. After ho had done this, tho King of Spain, so tho story giwH, wished to reward one of his captains. Some say It was Berniil Diaz, but others give n different name. At any rate, the honor was accepted, not for himself, but for a relative, for n young man Just out from the Peninsula -flint Is Spain, yon know. And ho was given a grout domain, from that moun tain peak to another numy leagues aw'ay, and from that to n river, and then to a lake, and thenco back to t(. moiiulnln, And he wax called the Mar qnls of Aguaya.

With each horse at each remuda, or Mutioti, was an Indian servant. "At the first he clutnged and, It Is supposed, bade the servant cure wcH for the black charger and await his return.

The rancho is gone now; they say that when bo broke Into the hacienda In the middle of the night he had ridden more than thirty leagues. "When he came In at the great gate bis heart was us black as his face, and his eyes glowed like coals of fire. "What he found no one knows.

The other, a little girl, fled lu terror lo the serviints' quarters. Tlieni be turned, mounted his liorse nnd went back over the sumo road. "Before the early dawn had come he led his black stallion Into the ranch stables, took a bath, dressed In clean garments and smilingly greeted his companions at the breakfast table. Ills headache? A thousand thanks; that had passed off; he had taken a Utile gallop for exorcise. Would they like to have their revenge for last night's 111 luck?" "And was nothing done?" I asked. " ill, no. There was no proof. Tho little girl and her nurse could not Iden tify him; his black horse was clean mid fresh, nnd so was be. "When, later, the news got abroad, ho was very sorry, threatened venge ance, but soon after went off to the capital, lie died within a year-sickness, some say; others have It. that ho was shot or stabbed. "One very curious clreiiiiiHtance was noted. Every Indian .servant through out the long line of stations was found dead at his post, and each died from a knife slab In the buck. "But," with n shrug of her pretty shoulders, "he wns the great lord, and nothing was ever done about it ex cept Just to tell the story as I have to you." "And the little girl that fled with tho nurse?" "She? Why, she married, afterward, a son of one of the viceroys. You saw her picture In the largo parlor and--I, like her, am called Anita, and she was my grandmother's great-great-grniidiiiother. I am tho ninth of the same name. It was In that room he found her.

They have a mammoth cave in Turkey which takes all the brag out ol Kentucky. It is near Selefkeh. And where is Selefkeh? Well it is near that part of the Turkish coast which is just exactly north of the island of Cyprus. One of the natives went in with a party nd roamed around for five days, and when he came out he said he h id (ramped fully twenty-five miles until tie came to a large lake with grea' :liITs rising up in it. Having no boat ae had to turn back. Of course he was a Turk, and perhaps we should be a little careful about accepting his-idea of distance too literally. Still H is prob able that the exit of the cave is at t ape Lisau el Kabeh, fifteen miles eastward af Selefkeh right on the sea, where the waves dash in the mouth with a rush and roar, which has (liven the place the name of "The roaring llolo."
