Cerca va de la casa de Agueinaba,
Oracoa SO paro, respiro fuertemente y
aplico ell dido.
LIE parecio haber sentido algo como
una m1sica.
Efectivamente al acercarse mas, va
not6 distintamente quien era.
Salcedo arrancaba sonidos armonio-
sos a una guitarra.
Ell indio Sc extremecio: : aquellos ecos
nunca por el oidos conmovian su alma.
Araca;ba estaba alli, embebida en- su
amante, escuchando con amor aquellas
notas dulclsimas que habia aprendido
ell gallardo joven las orillas del Belts,
EN- los clrmenes de Cordova.
- Ioma este COLLAR de perlas que mi
madre al morir me dejo como reouerdo
-- diio Ia enamorada india - miranda

Salcedo SO desprendio de Ia imagen
de la Vfrgen, y poniendosela al cuello a
su amada 10 dijo:
- Desde mi infancia llevo sobre mi
pecho In madre de mi Dios, tomala
como sfmbolo de mi carino: ad6rala
porque ella protcje 4 los que SO ampa-
ran bajo su celeste escudo.
Oracos entraba en- aqnel momento.
Aracaiba hizo un gesto de despeehos;
pero el astuto indio dirigiendose al gus-
rrero le dijo:
- Espahol yaliente, to be estado bus
capdo para saludarte y hacerte el OBJ
sequio de estos granos dc oro recogidos
por mi.

Su madre, ap6nas contaba dos ahos
de edad, le habia puesto en- las tnanos

rrible guerrero.
Pero supersticioso como todos los de

unos hombres que SO burlaban de sus
armas, que manelaban ell trueno y ell
rayo. de un mandobie cortaban q GER

Ths generally accepted theroy of the cook
ing Of meat relates TO the application Of heat;
but quito recently DR.. SAwIczKyosxr has
called attention to the fact that almost pre-
oisely the same chemical and physical changes
can be accomplished by the exposure OF
animal hesh to extreme cold. Indeed, the
sensation experienced by touching freezing
mercury Is very much that of q severe burn.
The e~xperimenter referred 70, proposes tc
apply bis method TO the preservation Of
meats, FIRST by subjecting them to q tempera,
turo Of $50 F. below zero, and b sealing
them up dramatically in tin vessels. Animal
substances, are kept for q long time In thess
boxes, on examination proved to be extreme'
1y palatable, and being partially cooked
required but o little additional heat TO prepar'
them for the table.

supplies A large quantity suitably seale'
