 Don't be afraid of me-" said the stranger, taking the loaded chamber from his revolver and handing the handle part to Deiderick. 'Come," he persisted, 'I will help you catch the rascals, for l know they are here. "
 Deiderick still refusing to accompany him the fellow went down stairs alone. He returned in & short time, saying that there was 8 helpless man in the gutter in front of the hotel
 ''It's a shame to leave him there" he said, Tets go down and help him."
 These and other schemes to get the hotel proprietor down stairs failing, the stranger retired to his room. A few minutes later Deiderick went to the fell lows room to bid him be quiet, and upon opening the door 8 revolver was pointed at his head with the declaration by the stranger:
 'I must have money to get out of this town"
 Deiderick was cornered. He gave the robber all the money in his pockets. Five minutes later the stranger was hurrying up the road while tn he village constables were being aroused. The thief made good his escape.
 He Is described as being about 80 years of age and rather good looking, with 8 smooth face.

Mr.. Bigg Wither, an English engineer
who was employed some years in railroad
surveying in Brazil, tells some interesting
experiences among the landed proprietors
in his interesting book. Being man. he
had a better opportunity than l to know
presence of the other sex. Let me quote
few paragraphs pertaining to a visit he
made in the valley of Ivahy. ''Senor An
deade was an old man. and allowed his
wife to do most of the talking for him
when she was in the room. One of her
first questions was to know whether / was
married; and on hearing that am still in
the full enjoyment of freedom, she pro
ceeded to enlarge upon the delights OF
married life, at the same time informing
me that she had five unmarried daughters.
After this pretty broad hint OF what was
expected, of course | expressed a wish to
make the acquaintance Of these fair mem
bers of the family. Her face became sud
denly grave, she looked hcsitatingly at her
husband, who had remained silently puff
ing his cigarette during the conversation,
and he said something which did not lln-
derstand, but which at once dispelled her
momentaly gravity. The old man GOT up,
Went across to a locked door, turned the
key, opened it and disappeared into a dark
chamber within. Almost Immediately he
returned saying, '''rhe Girls are not ac-
customed TO see strangers. and are afraid.
Meanwhile the senhora, WHO was evident
ly now determined that her daughters
should Show themselves, had also (lisap-
peared into tile secret chamber. from
which Low proceeded sounds OF whisper
ing and suppressed gigglino. Presently
the Senhora reappeared, leading a very
modest looking lamsel of about nineteen
apparently somewhat younger. All We're
overwhelmed with intense shyness and an
historical desire to laugh. After the for
NAL and separate Introduction of each--be
it noted that the lady is here introduced
to the gentleman--they all scampered back
into the secret chamber and their papa
turned the key upon them. At this time |
was ignorant. OF the custom which is SO
general in these out of the way parts of
keeping the women or rather the daugh-
tiers of the family locked up like wild
beasts, consequently | did not hesitate to
express my wonder and to ask why it was
done in this case In reply Senior Andrade
said that it WAS the custom OF the country,
and he had never thought of bringing up
his daughters in any other way. do
they ever go out?' asked. No, never
he replied, mot now that they are grown.
They had all learned horse back riding
when children: but since then they had
been shat up in the house, according to
the custom tor respectable girls, where
they must remain until husbands can be
obtained for them. Poor things 1t is to
be hoped that there are few old maids
among the lassses OF Brazil.
