what = that red tower which looks
like brick fertilization. there 70 the
northwest" asked Stella.
That's the gateway TO the Garden Of
the Gods, answered Mr.. Lollard, who
stood with his guide book open IL his hand
ready TO answer questions.
Those mountains 20 the southwest are
the Cheyenne. In them are some famous
Canyons, said the duke.
"Wky, where has the sun gone to-"
asked Mrs. I,ollard. 1T has disappeared. I"
1T has hid behind Pixies Peak" said
Melyorne. I'VE have long twilight here,
for Colorado Springs lies under the after
noon shadow Of ten thousand feet OF eter-
nal granite"
After an hour or two OF quiet converse
ton we strolled out upon the streets
Here, as In Denver. they are lined on
either side by tall. graceful trees Some OF
the broad avenues are laid out with double
roadways, separated by two rows Of shade
trees and walk, while ON either side is
another row OF shade trees and u walk.
The city Is under thorough system Of ir-
rigation. Besides. the water brought In
open bitches. there IL an iron pipe To Rux-
tain side, which brings pure cold water
from the melting SHOWS on the mountain
top.
This must be a very wealthy CITY," said
Stella. Judging from the beautiful houses
and expensive public buildings which wo

1T hardly seems possible that within

II cannot comprehend it," said Stella.
''In the old world some OF the cities we
visited were some of them thousands Of
years old and yet we did not see such evil
dence OF wealth and culture as we find IN
the west"
This Is an elegant building. What Is

Lady Irving came up
THAT IN the opera house built for enjoy
ment by the people, he said.
II wonder II there will be anything to

Some one must be here" ! said, and
stepped inside. An old man was inside.
busting and arranging things.
Sir" asked, ''will there be any kind
Of an entertainment here this EVENING""
Yes SIR" said the old man, ''our own
people give the spy Of the Rebellion here
to- night
When ! made my report Il was agreed
that we should see what home talent
could do In this wild western town. We
returned To our hotel and had most sub
stantial supper. The pure mountain air
gave Us keen appetites.
The opera house was perfect jewel In
side. Everything was in perfect accord
with the most cultivated taste. The music
was given by full orchestra and was of
high grade. The play OF thrilling interest,
from the opening TO the closing scene.
The home OF wealth and comfort where
love had fed the vestal flame, was broken
by the call ITO Arms!' The maiden
crushed the throbbing love within her
heart, rather than give her hand in mar
rage To a rebel To his country.
The training OF the Dutchman was the
only mirthful scene i'm the whole play.
His awkwardness brought forth peals OF
laughter. The prison scene must have
been rlagnified to produce effect. No pco-
pie on earth, In this enlightened age,
would put such fortunes ON their fellow
men. The scene OF revenge was fiendish.
Stella sat IA though filled with horror
As soon AZ we were ON the street she said:
Can that be true. Were there ever such
scenes Of horror during the American
wary'
IL is hard 10 tell. - | said II have heard
of their terrible prison life, but never could
form any idea OF what IL was
When we met In the parlor the play was
the topic of discussion. Not the merits Of
the actors, but the historical scenes which
Were represented.
I'll do not believe they are true 10 life,"
said Mclvornc. THE South Is full OF
warm-hearted, hosptaDlc people. II f.
the people OF the north that are cold and
heartlessn
But the North was very generous with
them, certainly. in the time OF reconstruc
ton. They would do well 10 remember
that.r said.
$50 they were. But what an amount OF
suffering might have been saved IL the
government had bought the slaves and set
them free. Let England take the warn.
ing. Here IL a case OF something like the
English landlords In Ireland III England
would pursue wiser course she would
buy the lands and sell them to the tenant
farmers; thereby no one will lose. But II
Ireland wins IN this struggle, they will
confscate the Irish estates and the land.

would be some resentment harbored for
generations TO come, said Mr.. Lollard
with warmth.
"But the slave holders were In the

And SO the landlords are holding thous.
