THE CHILIAN'S OATH.


Take them altogether the people OF Chill
show the most enterprise ana seem the
best adapted for republican government
of any in South America, yet the COM
mon people are OF a dark, revengefui
nature, and few foreigners md favor IN
their eyes. But with the dark eyed
maidens OF Chiii IL Is uihereh', anu IAN
kee sailors always like to run into wal
paraiser' for a cruise on shore, and
happy time they have generally.
Ned Wilton landed from the brig Yes
per. which had sprung topmast and
stove in her quarter in storm in the
South Pacific. 1t was two weeks job
to refit, and as Ned was man to be
trusted the ''old man" gave him a free
run on shore. Ned wasn't much OF
man to drink. and most of his time was
spent in rambling about on the beautiful
mountain slopes, getting acquainted with
the dark eyed beauties Of the city and
country, and enjoying himself generally.
One day while exploring the country ten
miles to the north and east of the city,
he was attracted by the sound OF voices
loud in dispute, and then came woman's
cry for help. Dashing through the bushes
Ned came out in little open space,
where he saw beautiful girl, whom he
had met at fandango in Valparaiso,
struggling in the grasp of dark look
ing Gillian, who, il he was not villain,
ought to have had quarrel with his
face.
"See here, my man." said Ned, "youd
better drop it, or you may chance to get
Yourself into trouble"
THAT advice might be as well applied
TO yourself, senor," replied the man,
with a dark, savage frown. 'If you
will take my advice, given in the most
friendly spirit, ycu will take yourself
off and attend to any business of your
own which YOU NAV chance to have on
hand. No man ever interfered with
Manuel Godena who did not repent it. n
ssI'll have to leave il to the young
lady," said Ned, quietly. s'If she says
that I'm in the way III walk off. as YOU
COW but NOT before.n
..No. nor cried the girl "Do no,
Iowa me alone with this man.,

The man drew a knife and made dasl
