trili on her tongue, to the liAnos and the
sunless wcodei
It was . lonely day for the old don. He
tretfoily pothered with q few mountain IN
sects; passed In inpstience the wondrous
mountain ferns; petulantly examined the
rare and almost unknown virgin woods
about him; and was scarcely even soientif-
foally interested In huge msjs, most hid
eous and harmless of Cuban reptiles, which
Jose, Q msst'xos wood-choppsr of stealthy
Indian blood, had victoriously brought 10
camp, sending Its women shriekine TO
their huts for their amulets and their
beads.
Even the long midday siesta failed to
soothe him. As the shadows began TO
lengthen among the open rifts of the for
est he piled Tomasa with plants at Juani-
ta's absencs and inquiries a. to the way
she had taken. Jose suddenly stood be-
side him, humbly Offering to show the don
the way. His brow clonded q little, but
he graciously accepted the Indisn's gut
dance and was soon painting after him Into
the shsdowy jungles.
They had scarcely left the sounds of the
camp behind them when. on breAking
through the tangls of the brushwood
skirting sunny opening, they came face
to face with their quest. Laden with cages
oiled with nevmade csptives, these, with
her own weird eallirgs, whistlings, plxin-
tive and joyous trillings, wsre lured camp
ward almost q cloud of brilliant songsters
which whirled and swirled about and above
her head
death on you, Josef Why did you fol-
low mel" she cried out In savage piteous-
ness. ''See!-the charm is done. They
are gone,"
Her hand described q swift, futtsring
circle about her head, most pathetically
suggestive of the quick, wild flight of the
birds; and as her face was lowered for an
other vengeful scourging of Jose, her eyes
met those of the professor.

'By all the saints, Donna Jusnits,"

ward the girl with ontstretched hands,
"you are wizard! But make me know
these wondrous secrets and an your slave

Something must bs SLOWED for the old
don's boundless enthusiasm; something
for the howery eIuberance of Spanish sd-
ulauon; something for a scene which truly
thrilled the old naturalist with visions of
professional acquisition and triumph; aud
something still for the perfect savage in
nocence of the girl who formed the cen-
trail figure, and the equally childish inno-

FASHION NOTES.

Nothing is more forlorn looking than
the skirt from which the stifening has de-
parted. Whereas, at irst when beautiful
and crisp, 1t stood out all around and
mostly at the back, 1t now slumps most
sadly back and front and ssgs wide to the
sides. The effect of skirt thus slumped,
worn with a nice crisp skirted coat, Is for
lorn, indeed, and one that meets the eye
often these days. Its mentioned lest
some one may think of this sad demon
stration of shsbbiness in the light of q
new fashion and go and do likewise. If

Don Eduardo slept late into the morn

the fruit and focd placed beside him, be
found the cArboneros' camp droning along
peaeefully In its everyday aspect. His
precious panniers were safe: No harm

of the previous night seemed like half
caught memories of some fantastic dream
Yet there we're the burning charcoal
pyres. Tethered not far distant stood his
faithful donkey. Faint and distant thud-
dings, like the proud boominys of the

carrying tree limbs and stacking them In
pyramidal piles- Ninas and msidens were
going and coming between cabins and
mountain side fountains- Wise old Toma-
50 stood beside her hut-door, stripping
some cocoa leaves and roots which with
delicious chicharones or pork scraps were
to serve for the coming meal; and out
there ut the camp edge was Mstsgss, still
barehsaded and barefooted, moving with
fne strong tread toward an almost COM

TIE DISCOVERY OF THE RUINS OF
BsIvoIR.-The companion mansion of
Mount Vernon in the late colonial days
OF Virginia was Belvoir, and the Fair
faxes of Belvoir and the Washingtons
Of Mount Vernon made constant
interchange of courtesies. The man
sion was burned during the revolution
ary war, and, as George William Fair
fax. the owner, never returned from
England after independence, the plan
tation fell into ruin, part of the arabic
land returned again to the forest and
the site of the mansion has been over
grown for over q century. The place
still, however, possesses a historic IN
terest, and Mr.. Stacy Snowden recently
Went over the whole plantation with a
view to discover the remains of the old
mansion. He found at last the remains
of some brick walls on Il high hill, Civ
ing a superb outlook upon the Poto-
mac, and he traced and cleared the "a
inch walls, with cellars, wells, &c,
until the ground plan of the ancient
mansion became visible, and then found
the wall, also, ofgreat thickness, which
surrounded the gardens and grounds Of
the mansion, covering several acres.
