i the knowledge, that so many forms OF

ton of the system, which the pleasant

remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that 1t is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-

Long sloping tones are in the air,
With pizzicato bits between

That revels gay and unafraid!
And there! the clarinet rings clear
Its mellow trill from yonder glade.
The gentle tappings OF a drum
Sound where the beeches thinner grow:

And to my muSing sense it seems

His baton like man OF dreams
And here behold marvel wrought!

To tune and harmony complete.

GEN. FAIRCHILD- D6cem Ger, "a, 1881.
His father settled in Madison, Wis, in
1916. and young Fairchild, with others,
drove across the plains upon the dis
covery of gold there. He was a miner
from the age of Is to 90, but failed TO
make a fortune. At the outbreak of
the war Mr.. Fairchild obtained a cap
taincy in the First Wisconsin. At Bull
Run his command constituted part of
the Iron brigade" and at Antietam
his regiment so signalized itself that
the loss of half of its mem bers paid the
penalty of fame. Fairchild led a
charge up Seminary hill at Gettysburg
and lost his right arm. He was
made a brigadier-general for his gal
tantry, and shortly after was elected
secretary OF state for Wisconsin. Gen.
Fairchiid was governor of Wisconsin
six consecutive terms For six years,
from 1872, he was United States consul
at Liverpool, and for two years there
after consul-general at Paris. Next
he was United States minister to Spain,
and resigned in 1882. When President
Cleveland vetoed the dependent PEN
sion bill during his first administra-
ton, Gen. Fairchild attracted atten-
ton by a speech in which he used the
words, ''Palsied be the hand of him
who vetoed the dependent pension

er-in-chief OF the Grand Army of the
Republic, and won admiration by his
prompt action in aid of the Charleston

CHAPTER V.

THE BEGINNING OF THE QUEST.
Something more than a month from
the day when Senior Strickland and
/ made our compact to search for the
secret city of the Indians, we found
ourselves, together with Molas, at Vera
Cruz waiting for ship to take US to
FrOntera.
At Vera Cruz we purchased such
articles as were necessary to our jour
ney, not many, for we could not be sure
of finding means to carry them. Among
them were hammOckS, three guns that
would shoot either ball or shot, with
ammunition, as many revolvers, some
medicine, blankets, boots and spare
clothes.
Also we took with us all the money
that we had, amounting to something
over fifteen hundred dollars in gold,
which sum we divided between us, car
rying it in belts.
We took passage in a Mexican boat
called the Santa Maria.
She was an old sailing vessel .of not
more than two hundred and fifty tons
burden that had been converted by her
owners into a paddle-wheel steamer,
with the result that except in favor
able weather she could neither sail nor
steam with any speed or safety, and
her business was to trade with paSsen-
gers and cargo between Vera Cruz and
the ports of Frontera and Campeche.
Where for?" asked the agent of the
Senior Strickland, as he filed in the
tickets.
''Frontera," he answered. Your boat
stops there, does she not?"
''Oh, certainly, senor," he said, as he
pocketed the dollars, and yet all the
while this shameless rogue knew that
she had orders to touch at Campeche,
which is the furthest port, first, and re-
turn to Frontera a week later.
Among the passengers was one, a
man of not more than thirty years of
ge, who particularly attracted our at
tention. He was large, handsome and
coarse and had Indian blood in his
veins, as was shown by the darkness of
his color and the thick, black eye
brows that gave a truculent expression
to his face. While 1 was wondering
who he might be, Molas made a sign to
me to come aside and said:
''You see yonder man with the silver
buttons on his coat? He is Don Jose
Moreno. the son of that Don Pedro
Moreno who waylaid and robbed me of
the nuggets which the old Indian gave
me. Beware of him, lord, and bid the
Englshman do the same, for, like his
father, he is bad man."
While Molas was talking bell had
been rung for dinner, but l waited till
he had finished before going down. At
the door of the cabin met the captain,
a stout man with face like full moon
and a bland smile.
What do you seek. senor?" he asked
My dinner, senor," ANSWERED.
1T shall be sent to you-Sn deck" he
said, not without confusion. Il do not
wish to be rude, senior, but you know
that these Mexicans-1 am a Spaniard
myself, and do not care-hate to sit at
meat with an Indian, so if you insist
upon coming in there viii be trouble"

token asunder, as you see.
Sat length it came into the hands of
the great GuatemOc. last of the Aztec
emperors, who, before the Spaniards
hung him. found means to send it to,
his SON from whom it has come down

''And what if they do?"
''Then, so says the legend. the In

Now the senior rose from his chair
and walked up and down the room.
''Do you believe all this?" he asked
suddenly.
sYes," I answered. s'or the greater

true, the lost half of the talisman that
has been missing for so many gen

to seek him who bears it, and who has
come from far to find me. That is why
''Where has this man come from?''
he asked eagerly.
81 do not know for certain" an
swered, ''but I think that he has come
from the sacred city of the Indians, the
hidden golden city which the Spaniards
sought for but could not find, though
it still exists among the mountains and
deserts of the far interior"
"Why do you want to visit it, Igna-
tio?"
'sTo understand that, senior, you
must know my history" And I told
him of the failure of the great plot and
the part that had played in it, all of
which have already set out, also OF the
secret hopes and ambitions of my life.
''Senor," I added. Though I am
beaten 1 am not yet crushed, and still
desire to build up great Indian en-
pire. First. I will seek this man that
the two halves OF the heart NAV come
together and the prophecy be fulfilled;
then, if maybe, will travel with him

less whether I live or die, but deter
mined, if there is need. to die fighting
for the fulfilment of the dream of an
Indian empire-Christian, regenerated,
and stretching from sea to sea-that ]
have followed all my days"
THE dream, Ignatio? Perhaps you
name it well, yet few have such noble
dreams. And now, who goes with you
on this Journey"
who goes with me? Mo1as, as far
as the temple where the Indian is.
After that, if proceed, no one"
Then said he, 1.-The prospect of hunt
ing for that city pleases me, for 1 am
an adventurer to my heart. I am
ready to start for Tobasco, and the
Sacred City, and wherever else you
like, so soon as you are fit to travel"
'Do you swear that on the Heart,
senor?" asked.
by all means; but should prefer to
give you my hand upon it, And he
stretched out his hand, which I took.
"GoOd. You swear on the Heart,
and you give me your hand-the oath
is perfect"

and who was about to build a fashion

maker, and he quoted a price of rs cents

Horses or small engines haul the mud
up an inclined track to the disinte-
orator. This machine consists of two
rollers, the smaller of which revolves
at very rapid rate and throws all
hard substances, such as pebbles, off at
tangent against an iron grating.
The purified clay is thrown by a huge
steam shovel into the tempering ma
chine. Here it is mixed with water
and thoroughly mashed by spirally-set
knives. The feeder in the front of the
machine forces the mud into molds
sprinkling it with sand. AS soon as
one mold is filled it runs forward and is
replaced by an empty one.
All the work is also still done by
hand. The so-called molder takes a
piece of prepared clay. throws it with
considerable force into the mold and
scrapes it into proper shape by means
of a plain board. The filled molds are
carted off in wheelbarrows and are
dumped in q sunny clay field covered
with sand After a few days, when
fairly dry, they are ''baked;" that is,

EIGHTEENTH EAR DECENT ERs 1885, NUMBERS

The Associated charities is an organi-
zation which does much practical good.
The secretary has had years of ex-
perience, and he knows the genuine
from the sham sufferers at sight. For
example, during the carnival on Penn
sylvania avenue. young colored man
entered the room and told the secre-
tary that he was out of work, and had
been vainly trying to find some place as
a cook, which was his business. He had
failed, He had a wife and a little child
five years of age. His wife was able to
work, but could not get place because
her clothes were not 'fitten," rs the
man expressed it. They had fuel in the
house, but no food, having eaten their
last meal last evening. The man said
he was willing to work, and his wife
was willing to work if they could get it
to do.
A crucial test, as it appeared, was
made by the secretary who had brought
out all this information by series of
questions when he asked the man in
conclusion if he would saw wood. The
man said he would. and then the secre-

high. While bricks are drying con-
slant watch must be kept lest rain
should get upon them.
I'VE don't want rain-washed bricks
all the time" said one foreman, .'and
SO I've got to get up whenever it looks
like rain and cover my brick"
In many yards, the season ends in
September and does not reopen until the
1st of May, but the use of artificial dry
houses has made it possible to run all
winter. The fresh brick as it issues from
the tempering machine is placed by an
automatic attachment upon pallets
which are hauled off to huge drying
chambers filled with moderately heated
air.
When quite dry, the bricks are ready
for the kiln. They are stacked $4,000 to
100000 at u time in long wall IL to 15
feet high. about three times as broad,
and over 100 feet long. First a series
of arches of bricks projecting enc over
the other is constructed. Above these
the bricks are stacked loosely enough to
permit the passage of the heated air.
This done the kiln is encased by wall
OF old brick and mortar and the fire
is started in the arches. l was stand
ing on ladder looking over the top of
a burning kiln. and the intense heat
made the air vibrate visibly. The men,
however. walked quite unconcernedly
over the top.
"Gnr feet are used to it," explained
the foreman. We've got to keep a close
watch up here, you know, cause we
tell when the bricks are through burn
ing by the amount they have settled.
With the temperature at 2.70O degrees,
the burning is completed in about ten
days"
Strictly speaking, of course, the brick
is not burned. but merely dried under
intense heat. In porous terra Gotta,

with saw dust. the latter is actually con-
sumed by the fire, thus leaving the
pores.
All fancy earthenware is burned in
specially constructed kilns. and the fin

vessels. E. T. GUNDLACA-
