HR walls of the city are plastered with big posters, this fiesta day of San Andres, an nouncing: "Today. In the evening, there will be a grand and most sumptuous performance In the great 8t. I^azaro boll ring. 8lx most brave and arro gant bulls are to meet their death at the skillful hands of the famous fight ers, El Bote, El Gallo de Sevilla, and, as a special feature, the noted matador 'El Diablo’ Is to handle both banderll Ios and sword, without plcadores. In the fighting of Spanish bulls. The spectacle Is to take place at the hour of 3.’’ It Is alter 3 now, but "El Diablo’’ (otherwise Pepe Moreno), who Is the principal figure In the fight, doesn’t care a bit! "What If he Is late—let them wait for him. Por Dios! A man who has fought bulls for fifteen years In three different countries can afford to let people wait for hln! They’ll like him all the better when he does ceme. And, though El Gallo, who comes before him, has killed his bull In good style, and been applauded out of the ring, and the poor "toro” has been dragged out too by the six gayly decorated white mules, and the audi ence of 5,000 people are with one voice and one accord yelling for "El Mata dor! Que venga el Matador!" that gentleman Is seated on an upturned box In the bull fighters’ private place, smoking a cigarette and having the uu«.nirAU uu inn juw miwn uutiiuiu to. Not until the latter suit his fastidi ous taste and the former is smoked to the stub does he regretfully rise and stroll through the matador's en trance to the ring. He is a great favorite with the peo ple, and the moment they catch sight of him there Is ioud applause and bandclapping, and the band changes from the danza to the beautiful "Mata dof-’s March,” composed in honor of the "Diablo” himself, In Spain. Accustomed to such receptions, Pepe waits motionless, with folded arms, and smiling, until the burst of ap plause is over and the music stops. Then, throwing down nls three-corner ed hat, and bowing haughtily all around to the great crowd, he takes two banderlllos from a rlngman and moves over close to the wall, waiting for the bull. His bold eyes rove over the boxes, with their loads of beauti fully dressed women, all of whom gaze at him admiringly. As his eyes glance along he gives a sudden start, for there—over In the “sol”—he could have sworn that he saw—Dolores! And then he shakes himself angrily—what TRAMPLING AND TEARINO. a baby be la becoming In hia old age! Dolores—of course she la In Lisbon, where he left her seven years ago. Yes, seven—not so long after they had se cretly, In the night, hidden the body of Joaquin, whom they had decoyed and foully—Carajo! What Is he thinking about that for now? now, when he has two bulls to fight, and when the first one Is just to be turned in! Pepe always fights in his own pecu liar fashion, and alternates cloak play with the banderiilos. The horses he will not permit, holding that bull fight ing is an art, a science—not butchery. So no picadorca are allowed, anl twice are the banderiilos put in. until the beautiful Andalusian bull is in a rage and passion of fury and agony that cannot be described. The blood is running down in streams from where the banderiilos have pierced and torn his neck and shoulders; the dust Is blinding him, he is aching and quiver ing and stinging from the cruel thrusts of the sharp points as they twist uud cut: before his blood and foam covered eyes there Is always the dancing, agile figure. In violet and gold and silver, that waves red cloth* at him, and mocks him. and thrusts red-hot poluts Into his flesh -he will get at It and trample and grind it under foot! And yet, furious, bellowing, pawing, and making great wild rushes, he is foiled each time- the slim, quick figure al ways avoids the charge. Hut the ' Diablo" la getting short of breath, for this la a very persistent bull, and he must not do any more hu moring 80 he filnga down the ban derllloa, and shouts for the sword. It la hastily pushed over to him from be hind a barrier, and tie has barely time to slip U In hta satin cloak and dodge to one side, as the bull comes at him •gala with • loud bellow, and flinging out cloud# of earth In hts fury, The bull must know what ths sharp, gleaming blade u for, because he be | gtna to charge sideways nsver with full hsed and shouldsra on. so that ths matador can get ths vital point, 8" ibargs after charge la math* by the hull, and skillfully avoided by the "Ik cMn " wh» ta gelling somewhat piqued and eltogekhef avad Never helots la : his Hie h«» he luugnt with the superb skill that he now displays Cscmmbn*' this t>Mu require# skill The audl ts>-s in mid with enihunlMW from ] k>wd roars of applause end showers of purse# and hsis and flowers into the ring, they have passed Into absolute Rilenre, all on their feet, watching with breathless delight the magnificent dis play of brute force against man's skill, of Spanish bull fighter against Spanish bull. In truth, it is magnificent. The hull Is beginning to pant and tremble even more as he plunges at the matador. It Is time to kill, be cause If not more play will exhaust the beast, and the killing will be leas ef fective. ?g now for the death thrust! "El Diablo” places himself ready and lifts the sword. Just cr the bull rerev err from a rush forward nnd turns again to attack. On tiptoe, with sword ra.sed, the matador Is ready. At that moment, like a lightning flash, comes the thought of the matador who had taught him. years ago, that tiptoe thrust, the mont effective nnd graceful “kill" there is known. Poor Joaquin! Tlie faintest glimmer of remorse touch es the man who killed him hut before he has time to think the buil is close upon him, quivering with raze, and all blood covered. Quickly the matador leaps forward, his arm raised high, and the glittering point of his blade on an exact ilna with the vital point of the neck—he half cloves his eyes to tee better yes, that will Just do It! It will be a pretty stroke! Even as he frailer, triumphantly with the thought, a voice Is raised high above all noise of the ring a voice that makes the matador quiver from head to feet. Just as the bull, almost upon him. does—a voice, heavy with hato, and sweet with the southern ac cent of fjpaln: "Dog of a murderer! Remember Joa quin!” Paralysed, unable to move, the mata dor stands helpless; before the people up auuve car. even sec mm soinetmiiK Is wrong, there is a sickening crunch, a horrible cry that no one present can ever forget, and the bull, at last tri umphant, Is trampling .and tearing n still, bloody mass of violet and silver and gold, that is now trickling all over with blood; men and women are curs ing and fainting and weeping, but to no avail; for the matador "Diablo" has met his death thrust; he has gone now to settle his accounts with the Judge even of bull fighters, for the man he had murdered! No one can locate the owner of the voice that had cried out. in the ptlr and excitement ainl terror she Is forgotten. And while they are all screaming and cursing and jostling, and the bull Is still tearing and pawing at the some thing that l»ad been “El Diablo,” a very dark and still beautiful woman over In the “sol,” half hidden by u big pillar, looks down Into the ring with a triumphant smile on her fare, and hate and satisfied revenge In her Spanish eyes. It Is Dolores!—Cairo The ethics of good sleep should form a part of household morality. It is hardly an extravagant assertion that comparatively few people, after child hood has passed know by experience what perfect sleep Is and satisfy them selves with a poor apology for this most perfect refreshment. Rising tired and weary from a disturbed. Imperfect sleep, they proceed to summon up lost energy by strong tea or cofTee, which in Its turn again interferes with per fect rest at night; and this process of life, more than mental or physical la bor, wears women out and makes them prematurely old. ”1 have been reading myself to sleep after retiring,” said a lady the other day; “and when I have done this for two or three nignts I can see that 1 look five years older.” It is an experience that any woman can verify, and. conversely, she can see that sleeping In a perfectly dark and well-ventilated room brings the contour and the roses of childhood or early youth.
