The school has for Its object the training of sub ordinate officers for the infantry, cav alry and artillery service. The institu tion was opened on January 29. W?. in the remodeled building of the old factory of Santa Fe. in Tlalpam. which had been acquired by the department lor that purpose. The rules and regu lations now in force in the school were issued at that time, according to which it was specified that young men desi ring to enter the school must be Mex icans between 18 and 21 years of age. in the case of minors It was necessary to obtain the consent of the father or guardian.

If the applications are accepted and after the medical examination certifying to the physical fitness of the candidates for the military service has been made, the applicants enter the training school on July and January 1. respectively, and are enrolled therein in due course. Record Is made of the class of officers the applicants desiro to become and of their agreement to serve as such during the time they attend the military training school and in the army for a period of five years thereafter, the latter time to be reck jned from the date they leave the institution. Young men admitted as candidates must ap ply for entrv Into the school on the dates already mentioned and pursue therein three theoretical practical courses of six months each, and after t-eparatelv completing said courses enter such battalion' or regiment as may be indicated by thoe in charge of the school for a course of practical instruction. After a year's service as sublieutenants in the reserve army, if they havo ..hown evidence of ability and of a military spirit they will be transferred into the regular army. Cadets are allowed 7.. cents Mexican money per dav for board and other minor expenses; are sivexi T.O cents a day as a loan, and are allowed nn additional amount oJ CO cents a day for the purpose of forming a fund to be applied in the urchae of equipment and uniform to be used in the -school, which becomes their property on leaving the institution and comprises their first equipment as officers. 0; dets are subject to military law for crimes and misdemeanors committed by them during the time thev are in the service. The cadets live In the school, take their meals there and only go out on Sundavs and national holidays, or by permis sion and according to the judgment of the com mandant. , The studies of the half-yearly theoretical practical courses are. for the first six months, mles and regulations; auditing and military ac counting; geography in general; elements of his tory, arithmetic and algebra; elements of Span ish grammar and panoramic drawing.

The big brother had at first concluded that it wa3 a lovers' quar rel and would, in time, right itself. But Edith's demeanor soon changed that theory.

"What occasioned your change of heart?" She blushed and turned away her eyes. "Who in the world Is the roan? The other man. There is one. isn't there. Edith?" "I I am not sure." she hesitated, her blue eyes softening In remin iscence. "But no one comes to see you. You haven't received any attention since you turned Tom down. This is a Jack and Jill town, you know, and there Is no one available that 1 know of." She was silent. You won t tell me. Kaiin; decidedly, "not I "No." she said yet."

FOUND THE LOST MINE For years and years the prospectors in Sonora, Mexico, have been searching for the second of what has been recorded in history as the twin lost mines." In certain old records of the early missions mention is made of two certain lost mines. The names under which they are record ed like the names or most of the missions estab lished under the Spanish crown, do not corre spond with any known landmarks today and hence only relative location can be used as a basis for exploration. When tho San Pedro mine, located south of Nacozari. was discovered some years ago with Its old underground workings, it is firmly be lieved that one of the two lost mines had been discovered. Now it seems probable that the sec ond also has been located and In the belt Indi cated In the ancient documents. Even if the second of the famous lost mines has not been discovered an antigua mine of great age has been found, with proofs enough to indicate that it has not been worked for many years. The discovery was made by John Guilfoyle. a well-known pioneer mining prospector of Naco zari. When out west of Nacozari about ten miles he came across a piece of detached ore. which he picked up and examined. He spent many days looking over the neighboring ledges in the hope of coming across the mother lode. But his search was in vain. Meantime he brought in the speci men of ore and was surprised to find that it ran l.r.70 ounces of sliver to the ton. with good values iu gold. This assay ran so high that he returned to the district and continued his search. While using a steel in a creek bottom he found rock almost at the surface, but continuing his sound ings he suddenly struck a spot where the steel sank several feet. Guilfovle knew that the rock formation could not have "ended so abruptly and he began to ex cavate. He uncovered a long cut in the solid rock of the creek bed which held down stream and which could not have been cut there when the water was flowing In the present creek bed. s he progressed he found old stone implements, including stone hammers, hatchets, and finally he s a great ancient maieia or swuc We Rowed Up the Creek." which was welcomed by me under the circumstances." "I know Edith. This is a passing whim of hers, and she will be all right again by the time you return." Ned grew watchful t his sister. From the fact of her having no eve ning entertainment he concluded that the other man must be employed at night and able only to pursue his woo ing by day.

Guilfovle pursued his investigation and found under the soil on the creek upland the remains of an old slag dump. As is customary with the prospectors In Sonora. Guilfoyle at once had this elag assaved. On account of the primitive meth ods of smelting employed by the ancient work men the slag found on these old dumps is usually -sk Ann.T, tn he worked over again In the mod ern smelters, which leave nothing of value In the slag, but, strange to note, in this case the sag was found to be absolutely worthless, indicating that at this mine the pulverizing of the ore had assisted in the extraction of the metal values The antique smelters also knew a lot about the use of certain chemicals In the extraction of metal from the ore and at this mine probably one of those processes was used in connection with the furnace, only fragments of the foundation of vhich were found by excavation. The finding of the stone tools has caused con siderable interest among those of an archaeolog ical turn of mind. The Spaniards were experts in the manufacture of steel, so that the tools were not used by them. The supposition is that an Indian tribe worked this mine and that this tribe probably operated following the invasion and oc cupation of the Spanish adventurers, ii is wen known that there is a long gap between the six teenth and eighteenth centuries where the history of Old Mexico ana that district now including Ari zona and New Mexico is missing, probably be cause the missionaries, finding that the crown of Spain robbed every mine reported, ceased to make report of them. In 1720 the Indians killed all the mine workers in Sonora and Arizona and many mines abandoned at that time have been lost to the world.

"Where is the young lady who came out in the runabout?" be asked of the landlord. "If 'twas a young lady, ten to one she's out in the sailboat with Jack," was the reply with a significant smile. "Jack?" "Jack Berdan. He has charge of the boats here. He's a pretty fair looking chap and since I've had him here the boat trade has move than doubled. AH the girls in the country and town have come to think there's nothing like sail ing. There's one pretty girl who has been here every morning regularly for ten days." On his way home Ned evolved a plan of action. In the afternoon he In vited a girl he knew to go to the sum mer resort for a sail. "Oh. then at last I may see Jack!" she exclaimed, laughing. "Jack?" They say he looks like Romeo. Mother wouldn l let me go oui mere muue. Ned had to admit that Jack was cer- tainly of the type to appeal to the ar tistic and feminine eye. He was slen der, supple and little and handled the boat with ease and grace. He had dark, foreign-looking eyes, strong fea tures, brown skin, even white teeth and a musical voice. He wore cordu rov trousers, blue flannel shirt with turn-down collar and rolled-up sleeves. red tie. a bit of a cap on the bacic or his head, with a Byronlc raven lock on his brow. When they were In the sailboat Ned tried to draw him into conversation but sailor-like his eyes and thoughts were centered on the boat and sky. They must keep you pretty busy here." he observed as they landed "Have to work evenings. I suppose?" "Yes; that's our busy time." replied Jack. "Once in a while I lay off for a morning. I am going to get up to morrow and go to the ball game." n euro vnn Ho." ureed Ned. "It's going to be the game of the season." He went home, relieved. Jack had omitted all his "g's" and had said "git" for "get." He went early to the game the next morning and secured a seat on the bleachers watching the entrance faithfully. Presently Jack appeared, "dressed up." His attire was lust what Ned had hoped It would be. At luncheon he remarked casually to his sister: "Bessie I.awrence and I went to Round lake for a sail yesterday. "I hear the girls are all wild over the new boatman. I don't wonder. He's about as handsome a chap as I ever saw outside of a picture." "Isn't he beautiful V she asked en thusiastically, "and can't he handle a boat well?" "Yes; he's a born sailor. So yon have been sailing with him. Edith?" "Yes. a few times." she said "Have you been with him anywhere else?" "Once or twice. We rowed up the ereek and " "And where else. Edith?" he asked gently. "I took him In my automobile for n ride." "And do you think that was Just the thing to do? Why not ask him to come to your house, as you did Tom and the others?" "I thought." the said, reddening under his gaze, "that you would ob ject." "I would certainly prefer to have you see him here than to be going where he Is. I made his acquaintance at the ball game this morning. I shall ask him to call, if you like." "I don't think I want him to call," she said nervously. "Why not?" he asked In feigned sur prise. "I don't know Just why," she said doubtfully. "I made Inquiries about him and I find that he Is a respectable. Indus trious fellow. I'll ask him to come up after dinner to-night. I want to see him anyway and figure on a sailboat narty for next week." He telephoned to the resort and Jack promised to call at eight o'clock that night. When he was admitted by the maid Edith and Ned were In the library. Edith looked at him and turned away from Ned's dancing eyes. Jack wore bright tan shoes, plaid socks. light trousers, a gaudy waist coat, a gorgeous tie, a watch chain with a multiplicity of dangling charms, a large pin in his tie and an organiza tion emblem in his lapel. He seemed perfectly at case, however; much more so than his hostess. And he blithely Ignored all the rules of Eng lish. After hair an hour Ned consid ered from his sister's countenance that the lesson bad been learned. "Now. Berdan." ho said. "let's figure on getting that biggest boat of yours up through the chain of lakes." "Then. If you want to talk business. I may be excused." said Edith, hastily leaving the room. Present her brother called to her. "Our caller had to depart." he said I gravely. "He had only two nours leave. By the way, Editn, ne con fided In me that he had a girl a dandy girl, he said." "Ned." she said, tears of mortifica tion in her eyes, "he looks so different In a boat." "That Is true. He should stay In one. But did you know that Tom re turned today? May I telephone and ask him to come up tonight?" "He wont come," she said hope lessly. "Let's see," he replied, going to the telephone. After a moment's conversation, he handed her the receiver. 'Tom wants to speak to you, Edith." he said, leaving the room. HBBBBBBBK4&&3i?
