CIIAi'Ii.R XVII.—Continued. ;
As the day wears on he concludes I
bis business. Nothing has been left ;
undone, and when they start on the |
succeeding day Miss Westerly will I
find occasion ro congratulate her |
master of ceremonies upon the skill !
shown in getting matters into such
smooth shape.
So the sun descends the western
fky and makes ready to drop behind
tlte mountains that shut in the beau
tiful valley of i.os Remedios. They
have st u nothing of the senor all
day. and even Barcelona and the pro
fessor manage to keep out of sight.
This is no sign that their move
ments have not been under surveil
lance—at various times during the
day they have noticed some peon
hanging near and acting as though
he wire a spy, but beyond lowering
iheir voices they have paid no atten
tion to such facts.
If danger overshadows them, it is
apt to appear during the night, though
the senor may think it best to leave
them alone until they are on their
way to the mine. True, the law and
order society of the city is a thing
that exists only in imagination, and
military rule keeps the disorderly
element in control more than any ;
force of police, but at the same time
the senor may understand that an out- !
rage such as he contemplates could !
s^£st<l sz'zz,
-hey must l;eep near each other, for ■
if trouble comes, it will seem all Lite j
harder if they are separated. In
union there is strength, and this rule !
bolds particularly good when the 1
place is a foreign land, and the crowd :
is composed of strange people.
Dora is in a tremble with delight ]
and anticipation, for she is fond of
music, and besides, i is a great pleas- :
ure for her to be in the company oi ■
the man she loves.
“I only hope we won't be troubled
with that bad, wickeJ Professor
John,” she says.
Bob chuckles.
"I thought you were quite taken
with that individual at one time.” he
Temarks.
“Oh. that was before I found out
what a wretch he is. If he dares to
even look at me again. I'll tear his
hair out!” and a* this Bob roars again
and again.
“Apparently you don’t know that
the professor wears a wig, my dear
girl. But don't worry your poor lit
tle head about the matter. Your own
Bob is able to manage that monster
of science. I'm waiting for the
chance £ come when we can meet
face to face. He will make himself
scarce, if he's a wise man."
They issue forth, and are soon S
merged into the crowd that is on the
flood-tide now, to ebb later on, when I
the music is over. Already the open
air concert has begun It is a night of
nights, when Pedro Gomez, the leader
of the band, has promised to outdo all
previous efforts, and give a program
to please the most exacting.

This is the way Dick and the colo
nel look at the matter, but even they

the masterly ingenuity he is capable
oi showing upon occasion. They may

that is skilfully cast, and among the

ss they meet a Roland with an
Olivet.
The night closes in.
Miss Pauline lias learned that a
grand concert is to be given on the
Alameda, or plaza, during this even
ing. which will of course be attended
by the best people of the good old
City of Mexico. She adores music,
and has heard it in all climes, from
the wandering dervish hand in Egypt
end Algiers that inflict torture on the
educated musical tympanum, so the
great Strauss band cf Vienna, not to
speak of side shows in India, among
the Hottentots, the Indians of the
Vest, and the natives of South Ameri
can countries, for this New York girl
lias been a great traveler during the
iast few years of her life, believing
that this is a strange tvorld we live
In, and that people who have the op
portunity ought to see as much of it
as possible during their short span of
existence.
move, he does cot say nay. How
could a newly accepted lover offer
any objection to the desire of hi6
heart's idol in less than twenty hours
after she has admitted her' love for
him. Perhaps it may lead to trouble
—Dick hopes not. He believes that
if they can tide over the present, and
keep their own until the time comes
to leave Mexico, that ail will be well.
Fortunately Miss Westerly has a
man in charge of the mine who will
stand no foolishness, and up to this
lime the oppositiou has found no op
portunity to do damage in that quar
ter. Mines have been flooded or
blown up before now, in order to de
preciate the stock.
When supper is over at the hotel,
they make ready to issue forth and
see what sort of a gathering this an
cient City of Mexico can bring out
on an occasion when the military
band seeks to play patriotic and pleas
ing airs.
The love for music is almost uni
versal, and well does the poet declare
that
"The man that hath no music in him
self.
Nor is not moved with concord of
sweet sounds.
Is fit for treason, stratagems, and
spoils.”
They can hear end see the people
flocking past the hotel even before
they issue forth.
"Get ready for a crush.” remarks
Dick, as Miss Pauline and Dora ap
pear, shawls upon their arms.
"With such gallant protectors, sure
ly we have no cause for fear," comes
the quick reply.
The gentlemen have talked the
matter over and decided upon their
mode of action. One thing is certain,
"I thought I saw Senor Lopez." re
mar! s Pauline.
"Alone?"
“.Juanita was with him, that strange
girl, in whom the good and evil seem
struggling for the mastery. I should
fear her. perhaps, under the circum
stances. but something seems to pre
vent me. Where ! shouid hate, I am
forced to love.”
These strange words annoy Dick
somewhat. He ponders over them .
again and again, as if he would en
deavor to see what influences cause
such an expression, hut it baffles him.
More than once he appears about to
grasp the shadowy substance, but it
set rrs to melt away in thin air. and
he feels as though he had been chas
ing a will-o’-the-wisp across some deep
vale or country churchyard.
Now they reach the Alameda, the
plaza is filled with people. In the mid- 1
die, upon the platform. Pedro Gomez !
the .mst favored leader south of the
Rio Grande, waves his baton and his '
military band play in a manner that 1
no capita] reed be ashamed of. Muc h
of the music is local or Spanish—a \
bright fandango or a more sober !
polka—a national tune, or some air
unknown to foreign ears, but which I
has a pleasant ring when executed by
well-drilled Mexican musicians.
Dora is delighted; her feet keep time j
to the music, and she hums the airs
as though thev are quite familiar to J
her. Given the opportunity, she ]
would dance in a minute.
Bcb has had his eyes about him ;
He feels uneasy.
There is something in the strange. |
weird music, the crowds of dark-faccd
people, and the very atmosphere, that
seems to warn him that danger is
afoot—enemies hovering near. He
does not imagine the fact, but knows
that evil eyes are upon them all the
while.
So Colonel Bob, always ready,
keeps his rich* arm free, and much
of the time his hand is upon a weap
on which he can draw in an instant,
with more speed than the average
man. for a sheriff in a Western state
has to be a man who can shoot while

And on this night, on the Alame

times in his efforts to make Pauline
a prisoner, so that he may force her
to sign away her rights with regard
to the great El Dorado Mine, and al
ways through the instrumentality of

and sunk all respect for his honor.
He realizes that he will never be al
lowed to do his will so long as the
Americans are alive; hence they must
bite the dust.
CHAPTER XVIII.
The Bulifighter Accepts a Challenge.
• Dick has a peculiar sensation of un
easiness, and yet at the same time he
is bound to confess that he feels far
happier than ever before in all his
life. There is a charming sense of
full ownership concerning the lovely
girl who clings to his arm—she has
confessed that she loves him, and al
though they are too sensible to act
like a pair of spooney lovers they ex
perience the same delight, not to be
described in cold words, that comes
to all who feel the holy passion.
As in the case of Colonel Bob, this
does not cause Dick to forget his reso
lution to remain continually on the
qui vive. as danger hovers near. It is
a peculiar situation, but at some fu
ture time, when these war clouds
have sunk forever beneath the hori
zon they ran afford to indulge In
love's young dream without one
thoneht of danger.
Now he sees the dark countenance
of Barcelona and the look which the
bullfighter gives him is enough to
warn even a more careless man than
Dick that peril menaces him. He has
already made up his mind that if an
assault is made u;on them openly on
the Alameda, he will, with Bob's as
sistance, standing back to back,
make the Mexicans recall the famous
days of the Alamo, when Texans piled
a rampart of the slain around them
ere finally yielding up the ghost—men
whose names and memories have
been revered in Texan history as he
roes and patriots.
He !■: also made up his mind that 1
under such circumstances his first ;
bullet will be for Tordas Barcelona, i
as he recognizes in this individual
the man who would do him the most
harm. If the wily senor is in sight ;
he may come in for the second lead- !
en messenc- r. unless Bob has already j
put a qtiieius upon him.
The hour grows later.
Still the music continues; indeed, i
Gomez and his bSind seem to have j
kept their best work until now. Miss |
Pauline and Dora t'o not think of re- j
tiring from the plaza, and the gentle- I
men would not hint at such a thing |
because they are not in the habit of
showing the white feather. In this
case, of course, it might lie justifiable,
as they are considering others be
sides themselves but all the same
they make no proposal looking toward
a return to the hotel.
Nor does the crowd thin out. It is
a gala occasion among the good peo
me of th<> city, an 1 they take advan
tage of the occasion. With plenty ol
stirring music, a cigar and beauty at
their side, the average Mexican citi
zen is happy enough not to* envy s
king.
Dick is fully awake when he feeb
something dig him in the ribs—of
course it is the elbow of the man from
New Mexico, who desires to attract
his attention, and as he passes by
he bends his head to mutter:
“The wolves are closing in, pard.
When it comes to the point make lead
count.”

Anti-Semitism marks
nation’s Decline
By DR. EMIL G. HIRSCH. j
One of the proofs
that the ideals of lib
erty are on the wane
in this country is the
ominous note of anti
Semitism in much that
is said and written
about the Jew by per
» ■■■■■■■ mi ■ ■ ■ i ■» ——3 sons who are loud in
their professions of Americanism. Anti-Semitism and slavery always
go hand in hand. Wherever in the course of history v-e find perse
cution of the Jew there we find abiect slavery of the masses of the
people. So this rising tide of anti-Semitism in this boasted free
country is simply one of the unmistakable signs of the national de
cadence.
There are ether signs—many of them. For instance, there is
the worship of the goiden calf, representing the people's devotion to
money making. The sale of an overcoat or a pair of pantaloons
with small profit is regarded by them as of infinitely more importance
than going to the polls to cast a ballot for the preservation of the
nation’s liberty. The truth seems to be, as is charged of late in
many quarters, that the so-called "best Americans" are tired of a
democracy. There are indications that they would like to have an
aristocracy here.
Persecution oi the Jew would be certain to become intensified
if American liberty should be overthrown. It has been shown
through all history that the worst persecutors of the Jews were the
slaves and serfs of feudal lords or industrial and political oppressors.
It is not pleasant to have among us as one of the striking evidencs
of national degeneration this spectacle of incipient but well-defined
national anti-Semitism. But the destiny of the Jew cannot be de
feated. He has an intellectual if not a political or national mission,
i nat mission is to humanize the world—to altruize it and bring about
the reign of righteousness in a glorious millenial resurrective perod
of the true brotherhood of man.

GIRGENTI THE BEAUTIFUL.
No Place of Ruins in the Whole
World More Beautiful
Than This.
Writes William Sharpe in ‘The Gar
den of the Sun,” in Century: Every
one has beard of Girgenti, as of Syra
cuse, before coming to Sicily. The
most beautiful city of antiquity has
left an enduring name, and if the Gir
genti of to-day be far from the Agri
gentum of Roman splendor, and still
further from the Acragas of Green
beauty and magnificence, It is still
nobly worth seeing. Even the least
responsive imagination can hardly fail
to apprehend some idea of what thi3
town must have been of old. when
Acragas. with its vast extent and over
200,000 inhabitants, looked out across
the dark-blue waters of the Greek sea,
or Mare Africano, from a lordly wil
derness of supreb temples and magnifi
cent buildings of all kinds. To-day it
is worth a pilgrimage from the ends
of the earth. Th re is perhaps no
place of ruin in the whole world more
beautiful than thjs. To see it, as the
present writer last saw it, in a gold
en sunset glow, with the great t-tipb's
gleaming like yellow ivory, and the
town itself of a dusky gold, and the
sea beyond, and uplands 'and moun
tains behind, irridated with a serene
glory of light, is to see what will be tor
life an unforgettable impression, an
evfr deeply moving remembrance.
To localize the three lov-lie-t views
in Sicily (and I fancy that most trav
elers would agree with me), I should
specify that from the terrace of the
Hotel Timco at Taormina, that from
the monastery-hostelry of Madonna
del Tindaro over Tyndaris and the
Aeolian isles, and that from the ter
race of the Hotel Belvid' re on the
Eouth wall of Girgenti, looking out on

Pretty to Acquire Much Ornament '

Your Figure If Your Dress Is Com

tifier.
BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER.
“Jessie has reached the age when
she fusses and hdgets about lr r
dress, looks at herself iu the glass,
worries because her cloak or her hat
or her jacket or something eise, is
last year's style, and altogether be
haves like a vain and silly girl," ex
claimed Jessie's aunt Marion, who hau
uo patience with such frivolous con
duct.
"If Jessie had been the fourth
daughter in a large family,” said Mary
Elizabeth, looking up with a smile,
“she would have learned to be thank
ful for small favors. Until I had
passed my thirteenth birthday I never
once weut out of the house with a
costume every bit of which had been
made for me. I usually wore Susan's
last year's frocks and Mildred's last j
year's hats, retrimmed and freshened
up, and when I had a jacket it had
been worn before me by Ethel. Moth
er always bought good things that
would last and they lasted until sev
eral children wore them out. I was
cured of fussiness before so much as
a wee leaf of it cropped up in my
character. Generally speaking I had
new shoes and that was a comfort.”
Jessie had listened to both speak
ers with an air of serious attention.
“I love pretty things,” said she,
“and I hate ugly ones. Why shall sis
ter Louise, who is a young lady, wear
a corset that gives her a good figure
while I who have no figure at all am
obliged to wear a corded waist and
button my skirts to it?”
By this time I was so stirred up
that I was compelled to intrude my
views on the girls.
“What on earth can you be thinking
of, Jessie? A school girl’s first duty
to herself is to wear healthful dress
and although corsets are excellent
and suitable in their place for grown
up young women, they are not parts
of hygienic dress for you. I hope
that you spend a good many hours
every day out of doors, and that your
director of physical culture superin
tends your calisthenics and your ex
ercises in the gymnasium. The gym is
as much an educational place for you
as the Latin class or the recitation
room where you study and present
any other abstruse subject in the
school. For daily use a school girl
needs well-made loosely fitting blouses
and skirts, and the weight of . her
clothing should hang not front the
hips but from the shoulder.
"Deep breathing is your great ne
cessity; your lungs should be filled
daily and often with the purest air
and your Chest have abundant room
to expand. As for shoes, you must
have common sense lasts broad
enough iu the sole and low enough iu
the heel to enable you to walk with
ease and grace. A school girl must
not wear a tight shoe nor a high heel.
You are too young and too pretty to
require much ornament in your dress,
and there is no sense in your fussing
over shirt-waists and simple stocks,
hair ribbons and belts.
■'Once your wardrobe is supplied
with what is comfortable and you
have equipped yourself with a golf
cape, a rain-coat and a sailor hat, you
are ready for every occasion."
"For receptions and commence
ments and Sunday evenings at home?”
queried Jessie, her dimples playing
hide and seek as she ^rchly glancti
at me.
“I beg your pardon," I answered.
“A girl does need one or two dainty
frocks for evening wear and they
should preferably be white. The
simpler they are the more suitable
they are sure to be. A great many
tucks, puffs, ruffles and late inser
tions are misplaced in a girl’s dress
while she is yet in her teens. There
may be, of course, some unobtrusive
decorations, but not very much is
needed for she herself seis off her
gown, i like to think, too, that a girl
who is growing up takes a little time
now’ and then to bestow attention on
the laundress who has to wash and
iron the dainty muslins that are so
elaborate and so beautifully fiai-hed
with lace edges and delicate em
broideries.
"A girl who has once or twice done
her own laundry work, wasned and
ironed a white muslin gown, or a duck
skirt, will know by experience that
it is far from easy work, and she will
be somewhat more careful about fre
quently sending it to the tub, than
her friend who has had no such per
sonal knowledge of the labor in
volved.”
No young girl has the slightest oc
casion to worry about her figure if
only she has a dress that fits her
comfortably, if she stands up straight
throwing back her shoulders and hold
ing up her head. The figure will take
care of itself. Health is the great
beautifier and sensible dress is foi
young people its best ally.
Fortunately for young girls, there is
no question about the length of theli
skirts, ror everyday wear frocks
that reach the ankle, are comfortable
and insure ease in walking, and im
munity from contact with mud and
dirt. For functions such as Jessie re
ferred to in her naive question about
receptions and Sunday evenings, a
girl’s best gown while she is in her
teens may he instep length. Girls
never wear trailing skirts in these
days. An excellent adjunct to clean
liness, comfort and health is a whisk
broom or a clothes-brush scrupulous
ly used every time a dress is taken off
If we would carefully brush oui
clothes and shake them out of an opeD
window before hanging them in clos

selves of the danger of germs th^i
may have lurked in outside dust

Advice About. Teeth.
Select the Brush with Care, Consult
a Dentist Whenever Certain
Symptoms Appear.
So many people show little discrim
ination in the choice of tooth brushes,
it is equally wrong to have them too
soft or too hard. This ought to be as
certr.inable by the touch, and they
should not be used for any length of
time, but at once discarded. Cheap
brushes with which the market is now
flooded are an abomination, for the
hairs are sure to come out and lodge
between the teeth, causing much dis
comfort, and. moreover, the bristles,
are often secured in such a vray with
wire that it becomes dislodged, and ,
pricks the gums. Teeth should always
be closely watched, and if the gums
recede or any decay is perceived, re
course should be had at once to a
dentist, for in dentistry a stitch in
time does not save nine but ninety.
Once let decay get any deep hold little
can l>e done, but it is easy to arrest it
at the beginning.
Parents cannot be too careful in in
stilling into their children early the
necessity of care and attention to the
teeth It seems quite a weakness in
the young to shirk tooth cleaning, and,
moreover, mothers should watch the
i
growth of the second teeth, that there
is no overcrowding. In early youth
man defects can he cured by proper
treatment. Teeth that are growing fat
apart can he brought together easily;
it would be a far more difficult matter
later on when the gums are harder
and the teeth have attained their full
growth, but care should begin before
the first teeth have been exchanged.
It indicates something wrong if they
decay, and it is a state of things that
would be likely to repeat itself.
The writer remembers how as a
child an old nurse who had b"er. i^
the same post for two generations
took infinite pains to teach her charges
exactly how they should clean their
teeth. She always said that pastes
and liquid dentifrices were all very
well in their way, but that powder
should be used once a W’eek at least
and that there was a great art in
using a proper brush, which Ehould be
small and soft, and not too big for
the mouth. It should be not only
passed from one side to the other, but
up and down, and great care taken
to clean the back teeth as well as the
front; finally It was essential to wash
out the mouth with water, to which
a few drops of fragrant dentifrice
liquid should be added.
