CHAPTEB XVIL-Continued.
As the day wears on he concludes
his business. Nothing has been left
undone, and when they start on the
succeeding day iliss Westerly will
nd occasion to congratulate her
master of ceremonies upon the skill
shown in getting matters into such
smooth shape.
So the sun descends the western
sky and makes ready to drop behind
the mountains that shut in the beau
tiful valley of Ijos Remedios. They
have seen nothing of the senor all
day. and oven 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 were a spy. but beyond lowering
their 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 alono 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

they must keep near each other, for
If trouble comes, it will seem all the
harder if they are separated. In
union there is strength, and this rule
holds particularly good when the
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, it is a great pleas
ure for her to be in the company of
the man she loves.
"I only hope we won't be troubled
with that bad, wicked Professor
John," she says.
Bob chuckles.
"I thought you were quite taken
with that Individual at one time." he
remarks.
"Oh. that was before I found out
what a wretch he is. K he dares to
even look at me again, I'll tear his
hair out!" an at 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. Tour own
Bob is able to manage that monster
of science. I'm waiting for the
chance to 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
merged into the crowd that is on the
flood-tide now, to ebb later on. when
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
J to please the most exacting.
It Is a Knockout.'
hardly be carried to an end in the
City of Mexico without being noticed
by the foreign residents and minis
ters, who might undertake an investi
gation, and make it warm for those
concerned.
On tile other hand, should the affair
:ccur in the country, among the wild
fastnesses of the mountains, it would
be set down as the work of brigands,
with whom the region has always
lieen overrun.
This is the way Dick and the colo
nel look at the matter, but even they
do not give their enemy credit for
the masterly ingenuity he is capable
of showing upon occasion. They may
soon find themselves caught In a net
that is skilfully cast, and among the
meshes of which they may flounder
unless they meet a Roland with an
Oliver.
The night closes in.
Miss Pauline has 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 llexico. She adores music,
and has heard it in all climes, from
the wandering dervish band in Egypt
and Algiers that inflict torture on the
educated musical tympanum, so the
great Strauss band of Vienna, not to
speak of side shows in India, among
the Hottentots, the Indians of the
West, and the natives of South Ameri
can countries, for this New York girl
has been a great traveler during the
last few years of her life, believing
that this is a strange world 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.
Whatevor Dick may think of the
move, he does sot say nay. How
could a newly accepted lover offer
any objection to the desire of his
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 all will be well.
Fortunately Miss Westerly has a
man in charge of the mine who will
stand no foolishness, and up to this
time the opposition 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
an 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 eoncord of
sweet sounds.
Ii fit for treason, stratagems, and
polls."
They can hear and 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
natter over and decided upon their
node of action. One thing Is certain.
"I thought I saw Senor Lopez." re
marks 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 I should 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, but it baffles him.
More than once he appears about to
grasp the shadowy substance, but it
seems 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
dle, upon the platform, Pedro Gomez,
the iost favored leader south of the
Rio Grande, waves his baton, and his
military band play in a manner that
no capital need be ashamed of. Much
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
has a pleasant ring when executed by
well-drilled Mexican musicians.
Dora is delighted; her feet keep time
to the music, and she hums the airs
as though they are quite familiar to
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-faced
people, and the very atmosphere, that
seems to warn him that danger is
afoot enemies hovering near. He
does not Imagine the fact.- hut knows
that evil eyes are upon them all the
while.
So Colonel Bob. always ready,
keeps his right 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 thoot while
the desperado across the room Is
drawing back the hammer.
And on this night, on the Alame
da, is formed the compact against
the two comrades men meet Senor
Lopez, and shake his hand, receiving
money, in some cases, and always a
sign that Is to mark them as mem
bers of the clique, or league.
More than once desperate men,
armed with the national knife, the
cuchillo, haunt the footsteps of the
two Americans, anxious to earn the
rich reward offered; for the Mexican
senor, having been baffled so many
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
these men, has descended the scale,
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.
TOUGH LUCK.
CHAPTER XVIII.
The Bullfighter 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 can afford to indulge in
love's young dream without one
thought 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 upon 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 has also made up his mind that
under such circumstances his first
bullet will be for Tordas Barcelona,
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 ia for the second lead
en messenger, unless Bob has already
put a quietus upon him.
The hour grows later.
Still the music continues; Indeed.
Gomez and his band seem to have
kept their best work until now. Miss
Pauline and Dora do not think of re
tiring from the plaza, and the gentle
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 be 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
ple of the city, and they take advan
tage of the occasion. With plenty ot
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 feels
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."

JlnthSeMifisui marks
nation's Decline
By DR. EMIL G. HIRSCH.
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
sons who are loud in
their professions of Americanism. Anti-Semitism and slavery always
go hand in hand. Wherever in the course of history we find perse
cution of the Jew there we find abject 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 golden 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 of 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,
xnat 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.

SPECIAL, AMBASSADOR TO SPAIN
The marriage of King Alfonso of Spain
has, been a subject of universal interest ever
since the world was informed that Alfonso had
made selection of Princess Ena of Battenberg,
and that Princess Ena .had given the hoped-foi
response. All the nations desiring, to show
friendliness and courtesy toward Spain and
Spain's ruler sent representatives to the wed
ding; President Roosevelt chose as special am
bassador from this country Hon. Frederick W.
Whitridge. of New York.
On such an occasion, it is needless to say
the wife of the special ambassador' is quite as
important a personage as the representative
himself, it is needless to say the public interest
in the lady is equal to the interest in the gen
tleman. Mrs. Whitridge was Lucy Arnold
daughter of the great English writer and edu
cator, Matthew Arnold. Lucy Arnold and Mr
Whitridge were married in 1884. one of the few
international marriages in which figure an English girl and American hus
band. We are much more used to the American girl leaving her country tc -take
up residence in England than to the transplanted English woman.
Mr. Whitridge is a lawyer, a man of affairs, a writer on political and
economic subjects. He belongs to a prominent firm in New York, is director
of several large companies in the west, is interested in railroads and powei
companies. He is member of the Bar Association of New York city, of th
American Fine Arts society, the New England society, and the Liederkranx
Amherst College alumni. He was born in New England, graduated fron.
Amherst college and Columbia law school. His writings have appeared ir
the leading reviews of the country.

LIEUTENANT CENERAL, CORB1N
The new head of Uncle Sam's army Is 4
man with whose career we should becom
familiar.
To begin with, Henry C. Corbin is of Vlr
ginia stock, was born in Ohio, and when a
young man commenced the peaceful pursuit ot
school-teaching. But the civil war, calling lust)
youths to the service ot their country, tht
school-teacher closed his books, laid down hit
ferule, and set out to be a soldier. He also set
out to persuade others to this service, and was
so successful he completely cleaned out tht
shop of the Cincinnati Commercial in order tc
get the quota for his second lieutenancy in the
volunteers.
Corbin knew little of the profession of armt
when he joined the volunteers, but went tc
work with characteristic zeal to learn somo
thing thereof. He devoured text books, per
formed his duties punctiliously, and rapidly woe
promotion. He was made major of the First of the colored regiments attached
to the army of the Cumberland; after the fight with Hood at Decatur thd
regiment was in battle or on the march every day for five months. Maj.
Corbin became lieutenant colonel and presently colonel. Next we find hint
brevetted brigadier general, and ere long he is recommended for tho regular
army by Gen. George H. Thomas, enters as second lieutenant in the Seven
teenth infantry.
When the war closed the soldier turned to the study of law, but was led
by Gen. Grant to return to the profession of arms. Gen. Corbin has sees
service In many fields on the Canadian border during the "Fenian inva
sion;" in the disorders marking reconstruction days In Missouri; sent tc
join Sheridan in Texas when the latter was organizing an army on the Ri
Grande to prevent the establishment of an empire in Mexico; had part in th
campaign against the Apaches in New Mexico. During the war with Spals
Corbin rendered mo3t valuable services as adjutant general, was McKInley't
right-hand man. After the war was ended he reorganized the army, estab
lished it on its present plane, was largely instrumental in the reconstructioi
of West Point, served as the president's personal representative in the Phil
ippines on the delicate mission of creating harmony between the old mill
tary regime and the new civil government a mission successfully carried
out.

The gentleman thus familiarly named as

be elected to that august body by the Tennes

that his more dignified address is Robert 1
Taylor.
Mr. Taylor won the name of "Fiddler Bob'
when first he entered politics, defeated his op
ponent for congess by fiddling his way intc
popularity with the mountaineers. Again hi
fiddle stood him in good stead, in 188C, when hf
defeated his brother and won the governorshli
of Tennessee. At that time he became widelj
known, a picturesque figure the country across
He has twice served as governor of Tennessee
"Fiddler Bob" was born in Happy Valley
Tenn., in 1850, was graduated from Penningtoi
college, studied law and was admitted to tht
bar. From his first entrance into politics h
cherished the ambition of one day entering th
United States senate, and came very near the goal some 20 years ago. But
just as a telegram reached him announcing the vote in the legislature showec
one majority for him, another message came saying one of his supporters hat
changed his vote, the enemy had received the one majority. A definite goa:
and persistance therein sometimes bring their reward, and at last "Fiddlei
Bob" nears realization of his ambition.
Robert Taylor served as Tennessee's governor from 1879-91, and from
1897-99. He was elector at large on the Cleveland ticket in 1884, and was
presidential elector on the Cleveland ticket in 1892.

THE SENATOR FROM WEST VIRGINIA
Virginia Beauties.
In Virginia the beauties sleep upon
herb pillows. They begin at this time
of the year to gather the garden herbs
and to dry them. They never bury
the ftce in a feather pillow for they
believe It makes wrinkles. But they
sleep on herbs, powdered and softened
with rose leaves and the buds of spring
flowers.
Senator Elkins, concerning whom we heai
a great deal of late, Is not a native of the stat
which he represents, nor exactly a product o:
that state. He was born in Ohio, received hii
education in Missouri, and resided for several
years in the territory of New Mexico. He held
many offices in the territory, was member o?
the territorial legislative assembly, district at
torney. attorney general and United States dis
trict attorney. From 1873-7 he was delegate ii
congress from New Mexico.
On the expiration of his term in congress
Mr. Elkins took up residence in West Virginia,
became largely interested in coal mining and
railroads. In February, 1894, he was elected tc
the United States senate from West Viginia,
and in 1901 was reelected by a unanimous vote
of the Republican members of the legislature:
received a majority of 40 on a joint ballot. At
pesent a revolt among the Republicans of West
Virginia forebodes Senator Elkin's retirement. His term expires in March
1907.
Mr. Elkins has been prominent in public life for many years. Three pres
idential campaigns he had place on the Republican national committee. His
terms in congress we have already spoken of. In 1S91 he was appointed sec
retary of war, served until the close of President Harrison's administration.
1893. In the senate he has acted as chairman of the interstate commerce
committee of the senate, and been accused of blocking popular legislation
while occupying this place.
Senator Elkins can hardly be ranked among the old men of the senate
neither can he be classed with the younger members. He Is in his sixty
sixth year.

The wife of T. P. O'Connor, the noted
English-Irish journalist, politician and author,
is an American woman. Mrs. O'Connor is very
loyal to America, and recently the papers have
regaled us with expressions of her enthusiasm
for the genus American woman; she praises
their naturalness, she dilates on the fact that
women in America seem able to have very good
times together. By inference we are led to
suppose our English cousins are more artificial,
not so fond of strictly feminine society. Mrs.
O'Connor speaks of the fact that women's lunch
eons are popular In America and are really gay
affairs, that such a thing would be impossible
in England; but the writer wonders a little If
