tersect the railway which conveyed Don
EulaliO's products to market; and in their
coveted visits thither, the men grew so
We'll used to the power OF steam that they
even received kindly the great, wicked
looking reaper when it came. In short,
Don Eulalio's rancho was the exposure OF
this Northern section and DoA Eulalio
thought with devout complaucency OF the
accumul0fing fund destined To found a
school OF Technology dream Of his
life.
Tulita, and Don Eulalio, and young
Rogers sat one moonlight evening in the
court, listening to the tinkle of "a guitar
where some of the people were dancing in
one Of the great emty S0idS.
Il wish could have a dance" said Tula,
with pretty petulance.
And why note Rogers cried. "Come,
we will have turn on these wide, smooth
| flags. Why do YOU know we have never
danced together"
You were little fit for dancing" said
Don EulaliO, rolling a cornhusk c iSarette,
''when first | saw you, yonder under the
diUn50S ten months twill he tomorrow !"
Ten monthsw cried Rogers. "NoW,
can that he posible?"
And even while Tula waited,
poised for the coveted dance, he
passed in swift review this happy
epoch. What were the elements
of c0ntentment that had spun these long
months by, swiftly as the tue movement of
dream? His life had been simply mlI;
the tranquility of mind ,congeuial work
and lula! A food Of conflicting thoughts
/ Surged and beat ia his brain, Ms he whirled
to the measure of the "Paloma" Valse.
"But mol" cried ruia, stopping short
and freeing herself from his clasp with
/ little push, half playful, half petulant,
you dance not we'll; You are still IN your
Valse like all your cOuntrymen. A dancer
should move like ii spray of Hoiidtc, that
trails from lts limbs anu sways TO every

| the air. Never mipd--we viii teach you

But sball not be with YOU" said
Rogers, sadly.
Chow not? win we then leave you
bere-you brought all our prosperity?
Shall YOU have all the labor, and we the
| pleasure! Nay, you must think us in
grates?"
But 1 shall not he here,' again he an
swerered: II must leave you speedily"
Tula's dark eyes dlated as with won

Tula's little hands fluttered helplessly
at her side; she turned away, as if to hide
her face, then swayed, and would have
fallen upon the stones but that Rogers
caught her. He laid her gently in her
fathers arms. The Old man looked at
Rogers, over his darlmg's pallid face.
"ls there no help for this?' he said, in
| piteous tone OF appeal.
"NO, nOne," sad little Rogers, bitterly,
/ ''saYe at the cost OF honor"

SELF the Mexican answered, gravely:

when my child reviyes, It's better that she

her caprices, her selfshness, her moral
cOwardice, her worldliness and
naTOwness of aim, ranged them
selves in opposition to the gentle
gravity, the thought for all about
her, the disregard Of self, the tender
charity, that marked lula Cordoba. Caro-

TO the capabilities that had shown them

training and Miss HOwa.d's added years,
aud the Spanish girl need bargain for no
odds. Even CarOline's classic features
wanted charm, compared with the fresh,
tender beauty Of Tula's Southern face.

Don Dulallo and the young man sat at
breakfast, silent bOtn, and sad, when the
naOzO Rafael spoke at the door:

And the next moment Strains self was
in the room. He was in buoyant spirits.
what with the successful termination OF
his work and the thought Of speedy return
home. Inevitably something Of ami
nation came in with him. But,
pleased though he was at reunion
with his old-time companion, Rogers
could not bear the tension of speech on
general topics, and so he left the others
and went to sit moodily in his own room.
Here Strain presently followed, and with
a clOuded face.
"DOn EulaliO tells me great things of
your success, old fellow. You must know
how glad ! am"

briefly; lit profits me nOthing-saye ex-
