CHAPTER II.
soMR FAMILY MATTERA

In view of her importance as q leading
character in this story it will surely not
seem out of place at this point to fill in the
mere outline sketch of Mrs John Allaire
already made.
Molly was now p years Of age. She was
of American extraction, but it would not
have been necessary to trace her ancestry
back to a very remote period to strike on
the generation which linked her to the
Spanish or rather Mexican race-a race
from which sprang the leading families Of
this section Of the Republic Her mother
had been born in San Diego and the city
was already in existence at the time Cali
fornin still constituted part of Mexico.
This large harbor, discovered about three
and a half centuries ago by the Spanish
navigator Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, had first
been called San Miguel Its present name
was given to it in 1902 In 1896 this prov.
ince exchanged it's tri-colored flag for the
stars and stripes of the Union, at which date
it became one of the sisterhood Of States.
Of medium height, a countenance lighted
up by large and expressive dark eyes, warm
olive complexion, a luxuriant growth of
very dark brown hair, hands and feet lit
tie larger than common with her race,
carriage full of decision, but not lacking in
grace; a strong face, and yet one radient
with kindliness of heart, such was Mrs.

CHEATING IN BACCARAT.

Tho Little Trick Gordon Cumming Is Al
legged to Have Practced.
It is easily understood that in playing
baccarat by holding extra chips in the hand
and leaning forward so as to bring the
raised hand, sitting as punter does often
with his elbows nearly ON the margin of the
table, over his stakes, man who wishes to
cheat and finds that the cards favor him can
drop an extra chip or two to join his de-
posit, especially when the counters are
made of Russian leather which makes no
none, so as to increase his winning, or,
with finger, jerk away one or more of
what he has already put up in order to
diminish his loss
That was the trick which was watched
and, they say, detected by the ladies and
gentlemen who were with the Prince of
Wales at Tranby Croft. There are other
ways of cheating at baccarat, but in such
cases confederate generally Q club
servant, has been necessary.

How Any Woman Can Become Beautiful,
Healthy and Happy.
A distinguished professor of the College
Of Physicians and Surgeons gives the fol.
lowing as the law of perfect health, beauty
and longevity for women: 'Eat fresh ami
NAL food three times q day, and as much
bread, crushed wheat, potatoes, rice. eggs,
ETC., as possible. Between the different
meals and on retiring at night drink glass
Of milk, if thin, or a cup of beef tea OF
broth If you are stout Every night and
morning take WARM sponge bath with
water in which about tablespoonful of
common salt in the basin has been dis
solved. After tho bath, and brisk rub
with coarse towel, exercise ten minutes
briskly with dumb bells or in any way you
enjoy, breathing deeply and freely.

middle Of the day, and wear loose cloth

THE COURTESY AND THE sTKp.

Educated infections of tho Body Have q
Language Of Their Own.
In the curriculum of physical education
in advanced lines, much Importance Is given
to the language of the courtesy and of the
step in entering room, says the New York
Sun. The plebian form Of the courtesy is
known as the 'bob," while the cultured
and educated infection of the body may ex-
press Ia its dip and rise condescension, re-
spect, admiration, sarcasm, pride or con-
tempt, exquisite graciousness or chilling
scorn.
As for the step, the most approved Is a
traditional court step which those who can
remember the days of the Prince Oonsort
have seen as he led Queen Victoria into
the room before her assemblies, and those of
the younger generation who have seen Al
bani as Elsa know also in its perfection. It
is slow, stately kind Of glide, SO steadily
or shoulders can be detected.

q very drawing card indeed. It was an odd
dance, wildly barbaric, and a trife on the
decomposed Delsarte order, perhaps, with a
beautiful Algerian girl in #, of the Lalla
Rookh variety, who, I afterward learned,
was native of the Rue de Fol Gras. Many
OF the visitors went to see this dance several
times, and this Algerian girl practically
owned the town, and carried away with her,
hguratively speaking, to her desert home,
the cosmopolitan pelts of those who wit
messed her strange and yet graceful gambols.

Nellie Grant, Though Native to Amerioa, Not
at All American.
MrA Sartoris, nee Nellie Grant, Is speci-
men Of the complete Anglicizing that q
dozen years resident on the other side can
make in native American, says the New
York Evening World. Mrs Sartoris was
born and bred in the United States, and so
were her parents, grandparents and great
grandparents before her. She married q
Briton dozen or more years ago, went over
the seas to live with him, and now comes
back to her people and friends with three
beautiful children, named out of an English
story book-Rosemary, Vivien and Lionel
Julia, Ellen and Hiram are not so roman
tic, but they are names that her progeni-
tors bore, and they are names too, that 20
years hence in all probability the descend
ants of the Dent-Grant-Sartoria family will
prefer to their own ridiculous appellations.
By the death of father-in-law, who admired
her very much, Mrs. Sartoris inherited
comfortable sum, which dissolute son is
not able to touch. Although perfectly in
dependent she could not be induced to live
in America again. She prefers England.

to Live Like Anchorites.
The complexion Of the Paris woman has
undergone noticeable change for the better,
not altogether attributable to her art in ap.
plying artificial tints to her once sallow
epidermis. The lady of social place lives
like an anchorite, they say, on q most linn
tied diet, drinking scarcely anything but
milk, or if stimulant is needed, using q lit
tie pure whisky and water instead of wine.
Hearty meat is renounced in favor of
chicken or game, and only the most easily
digested foods are transforming the sallow
French complexion to ivory whiteness

So Mr.. Rudyard Kipling has taken to the

such prodigious rate that he found it ut
terly impossible to cope with it in the
ordinary way. Mr.. Walcott Balesteir-the
representative in England of the American
publishing house of LOwell-came to the
rescue with the suggestion that he should
typewrite his stories. Mr.. Kipling adopted
the suggestion, and he now manipulates ths
instrument with considerable skill.
Mr.. Besant does not use the typewriter
himself, but he invariably gets his stores

A man cannot be made wise upon knovb

thousands of men who are graduating from
our colleges at this season of the year who,
from the very nature OF the case, must be

man, by nature a gambler, or, rather, a
reckless speculator, was one of those who
regard chance as their only dependence and
who are always ready to risk everything on
single throw. Such q propensity-abso-
lutely uncontrolled by the dictates of rea-
son-could not do otherwise than lead, and
did lead, to deplorable results
Upon reaching San Diego, Barker had
opened an Office in Fleet street, one of those
bureaus which it were more appropriate to
call dens, in which any scheme good or bad
becomes the starting point OF fraud Very
skillfulss jim depicting the possibilities Of a
combination, utterly unscrupulous as to the
means resorted to, an adept in the art of
meum ct tuum, he plunged headlong into
20 speculasions, all of which went to pieces;
but the bitter himself did not escape un-
bitten, for he now found himself literally
on the street almost without the necessaries
of life. Still, as bis operations had been
entirely secret, he had some little credit
left and made use of it to launch new
schemes and secure new victims.
This conditions of affairs, however, could
not last. Any moment there might be an
outburst, and the scheming Yankee who had
transported his peculiar business methods to
tho Pacific slope might find himself obliged
to leave San Diego as he had left Boston.
And yet, in such an intelligent community,
genuine center of commercial activity,
whose Importance increased from year to
year, any man of honesty and integrity
would have found many avenues Of success
open to him. But there were needful some-
things which Lew Barker didn't have
moral rectitude, straightforward ideas and a
mind free from guile.
1t is important to note here that neither
John Allaire, Andrew Hollister nor any
one else had any suspicion of the true con-
dition of Barker's matters. In industrial
and commercial circles there was no ink
ling that this adventurer-and would to
heaven he deserved no harsher name-was
fastening to his ruin. And even when the
crash should come, possibly they would be

About Printers Ink.

This is the day Of printers ink, and
the prizes arc for those who use it.
Your traditions and prejudices may be
to the contrary, but the world doesn't
care fig for them. Tho man who sits
and waits for his trade in these days
gets left. Don't advertise, don't quote
your price lists, don't see that your city
or your business is represented in your
patronizing territory, and don't stand
mp lnanfully alongside of those who are
fighting for your rights and interests,
and there can be but one result-shrivel-
ing up. Good statesmen. first class ar
ticles. gilt edged credit are not enough.
They are excellent. nccessary-but not
enough. Printers inl. beats them in the
long run. Uncle Sans mails 20 every
day. carrying their freight of special
offers, new crops, long credits. cash dis
counts. job lots and lovers tales from
everywhere. And in the end your trade
is seduced. It's the world-old story Of
the honeyed tongue and tho open ear.
In the fierce competition Of these days
old habits and associations simply can.
not stand the pressure. The trade is for
the man who uses printers ink.-Gro-

worst being the blowing down of span
of the Mainard Street bridge, a new
iron structure erected after the dis.

OF the river, where thirty-fve houses
were wholly or partially blown off their
foundations, at least one house collapsed
