some specimens of the ore, when he
was surprised by the shepherd, who
congratulated him on his discovery and
offered to assist him. After working
some hours together, they rested.

"chica," which he drank, as he was
very thirsty after his arduous labor.
Shortly after he had swallowed the de-
coctlon, he began to feel sick; and, as a
suspicion of having been poisoned
flashed upon his mind, he at once
packed the specimens of ore in his KNAPP

HEARTS HUNGER.

We let them be just for little while
We cannot bear to put them yet away
The vacant high-chair of little child,
The torn hat but worn the other day,
Or the low footstool where the dear ones
feet
Had rested, or the fathers easy chair,
That never more will hold the manly form
We let them stand, the room would look
too bare.
We gaze out in the waning, fading light,
The books and music mock us in the room.
Our hearts are with that new-made grave in
the night,
All dark and shadow haunted in the
gloom.
God pity those who wait in vain to hear
The sound of feet that ne'er will tread
again..
Or long to kiss white faces hid away
In their deep beds beneath the snow and
rain.
The wind from out the heart of nature
chants
A dirge above them as it passes by;
The dead leaves tears of autumn, sadly fall
Upon our sleeping ones, as still they lie
oh, We who never DER dead ones wept,
Who ne'er kissed cold hands and faces
white
And held out empty arms and hearts to God,
Can ever know the pain we feel tonight.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"LCST PARADISE"
A Popular Play Scheduled for the

A Popular Play Scheduled for the
Metropolitan.
AT the Metropolitan opera house for
the week beginning tomorrow (Monday)
night there will be presented a play
possessing current and general interest,
dealing as it does with the problems of
today, and defining the relations be-
tween capital and labor. Henry G. De
Miles new drama, 1.-THE Lost Para
dlse,' is one OF the few modern melo-
dramas that are intensely realistic
and appreciative of the theme
on which they are penned. The
theme in this case is the constantly re-
curing struggle between capital and
labor, force being lent to it by the ac-
ton being laid i'll mandatory of steel
and iron. The employees demand an in
which is resisted by Andrew Knowl-
ton, the owner of the works, and his
new partner, Ralph Stanish, the be-
trothed of Maggie Knowlton, Andrew
Knowlton's daughter, the heroine. Reu-
ben Warner. the superintendent, who is
in love with Margaret, makes an in
effectual attempt to adjust the diff
Guilty, and, finding his efforts unavail-
ing, casts in his lot with his fellow work
men. The last act. naturally straightens
matters out and brings the play to a
happy conclusion. Around this frame
work is woven drama which develops
as the play proceeds and which is power
fully constructed: the scenes and sltua-
lions are apt and lifting and the comedy
brilliant and humorous. The play is
entitled to high rank among the works
of prominent American dramatists, and
will do more to bring Mr.. De Mile to
the front as leading playwright than
did his share of work in the De Mile
Belaseo success 1.-THE Wife," or s'The
Charity Ball."
The production is under the manage
ment of Charles Frohman, and is pre-
scented by his competent company.

direction of the admiral and the four or
five who were aware of the secret, As
they finished the operation an eXclama-
ton from the low waist of the flagship
drew attention to the fact that boat
was being lowered in hot haste from

was discerned TO be leaving the Nina.

How Columbus Que1led the Mutiny
When the great discovery was reported
by Martin AIenzo the admiral as calmly
as before said that he had known for
four days the important fact that the
compass needle was pointing west of
north. And now he played his trump
card. The north star, he elucidated, at
long Intervals deviated from its
usually constant position. 1t was
now on one of its periodical de-
viations and would doubtless re-
turn soon to ITS regular position. when
the needles would again be in harmony
with it. With this explanation, given
in the most convincing manner and
backed by the authority of one whom
they considered the most skillful navi-
gator of the century. the Pinzons were
fain to be content. But before leaving
the Santa Maria they agreed to take an
other observation of the sun in the
| morning.
| With the common sailors Columbus
explanation was far from satisfactory.
The unruly faction in the three crafts

hours the officers confronted situation

the signs of the past few days the land

faction would i'll all probability have
been so strong as to control the eXpedi

was told would be granted the next
afternoon, and about O'Clock of that
day three Indians, among them his rela-

they were ready to grant his desire to
see the wonderful mine from which his
silver had been taken. The conditions
were, however, that he must permit
them to bandage his eyes closely, in
order that he might not see the road
leading to the spot, as it was forbidden
to them, under pain of horrible death,
to show any European the location of

How a ShreWd Monk Was

Ever since the days of CorteZS con-

mines" have been current in the silver
and gold bearing regions of the Rocky
Mountain chain. Every year expeditions
are sent out into the most inaccessible
portions of the country in the hope that
they may be- fortunate enough to redis-
cover the famous spots where the pre-
ciOus metals were deposited in such
fabulous quantities as alleged by
the primitive Indians. whose tales
have come down to us through the long
generations since CorteZ Subdued the
powerful MonteZuma of Aztec fame. All
attempts to locate LA Madre del Oro,"
or Mother Mountains of Gold" as the
places were called, have admirably
failed, and many lives have been sacri-
feed to mans thirst for the yellow
metal. There are many legends related
of how the European succeeded in reach
ing them, but the finder never lived long
enough to lmpart his knowledge to his
comrades.
The Indians having learned that their
rich mines, which they worked in a
very primitive sort of way, made their
condition rather worse than better
under European domination, deter

of their knowledge of the where
abouts of the richest veins of gold
and silver to themselves. They only
admitted that they were located where
no European had yet trod, and the tradi-

handed down from father to son for
centuries. Nothing would tempt them
to divulge their great secret, not even
that most flexible article, alcoholic
liquor, with which one could do almost
anything with the primitive say

in his power to make the discovery.
Accordingly the young Spaniard re-
