The story as Thompson told ii begin,
with the voyagc of the schooner Mary
Dear, commanded by Captain william
Thompson. which sailed from Lima on
the 23d Of November, 1920, bound for
the Galapagos Islands under charter
TO the Spanish Government, which was
then at wal with the revolted colon v
of Peru. Tho Mary Dear. although
Captain Thompson was acting as sail
Ing master, was under the control OF n
young Spanish naval officer, who was
accompanied by a guard of twelve
marines from a Spanish man-of- war.
the schooner was manned by Thomp-
sons " crew. On the 9TH of Deccm-
her the Mary Dear anchored off Cocos
Island. Why she went to Cocos instead
OF the Galapagos Islands. and how the
Spanish officer and the twelve marines
disappeared from the narrative Mre
Brennan says she does not know. An
parcntly Thompson slurrod over this
part of what he told Heating. At n
rate, when the lawfully constituted au-
thoritics vanish from the narrative
there appear six chests OF inostimable
treasure, which 1t had no doubt intend
ed to conceal or one OF the Galapagos
Islands. And these Thompson and his
crew buried on Cocos Island.
In the course of the long continued
struggle between the Spanish and the
Peruvian c~olonists any records or docu-
ments bearing on the case would un-
doubleday have been lost, and 1t is
impossible now to say whether the gold
belonged to the Spanish Government

Despite the fact that many Christian

II Is still very common in Annoy.
Some years ago a Mr.. Abeel made a
thorough investigation. He found that
in some places the proportion Of female
infants murdered annually rose as
high as one-third, while the average
was o~ne-fourth. One of eight brothers
told me that only three girls were left
among all their children. sixteen hav-
ing been killed.
The reasons Chinese parents give for
committing these murders are various.
The custom is far less prevalent among
the rich than 1t is with the poorer
classes. for with the latter the girl
child must be sold ii the means Of the
family are not sufficient to dover her

WOMEN AS NATURAL KICkERS.
She Kicko Physically. Mentally. Morally,
~hsiogicaiiy aud PcrpetuaIJy.

From the New York Herald: "a
woman Is a natural Kicker anyhow"
said the mar who felt he was being
cornered in the argument. She's a
Kicker physically, mentally, morally
and psychologically. Beside her u man
isn't in II for anything"
81 don't see it," was the rejoined.
ANY man can give her cards and
spadcs-whatever that means-and
beat her"
HE can, Ell? Where are your high
Eickers OF the stage? Where n man
goes at anything with his fist she goes
at 1t with her foot. She could kick a
chandelier down while a man was
hunting a chair to reach it. Did you
ever notice the dining room girl? No?
Well, you know, out West and through
out Canada they employ girl waitress
os instead Of men walters. Sometimes
they have both. | can tell as soon as |
enter a dining room whether the help is
male or female. Women almost invari-
ably open the swinging doors with
their foot-men open them with their
hand or arm. The consequence Is the
doors are either worn out or patched
with brass below or above, as it hap
pens to be men or women When a
woman approaches a swinging door
she just gives it a kick that sends II
flying open, and she walks through like
the Israelites through the Red Sea. In
case Of a man the door Is opened by
hand, or, II his hands are full, with his
elbow or forearm. All through Cana
da you'll see the doors worn out at the
bottom-somctimes clean through. In
many cases they are covered with
brass where the kick is administered

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Mrs. A..
l.. Rinehart Of Denver has Just COM
pleted the feat of riding 1,052 miles in
ten days upon a bicycle, an average
Of over 100 miles a day. She set out
to ride seven centuries in seven on
secutlve days, and when she had fin
ished that task she concluded to go on
riding, as she said, for the fun of the
thing" Mrs. Rinehart has ridden
thirty centuries now, and she has done
them so rapidly that she has been able
to secure all the gold bars to which she
Is entitled. When she ends the sum-
worlds record for century runs She
did not begin riding until last Sep
TENDER, but she Is now a veteran wheel
woman. Her wheel is a diamond
frame of - gear. When she rides
alone she wears a short divided skirt
OF blue wooden goods, a sweater of
blue and yellow to match, and a little
cap. When she has an escort on the
road she discards the skirt and rides
in knickerbockers. During her ten
days of hard riding she lost ten pounds
in weight. One days she arose at 1 a.
m, rode to Colorado Springs and re-
turn, climbing an altitude OF over
1000 feet in crossing the divide and
arrived home by 10 p. m, having COW
cred a distance of $50 miles. Her fast
est century was made In ten hours and
ten minutes. though in former trials
she has made a century in eight hours
and five minutes. Her last of the series
of ~ten-century rides was done in ten
hours and fifteen minutes.

DESIGNS FOR PINcUSHioNs.

WY Nv NPFN HI'TffIiNe'
To make a diamond cushion. cut
two pieces Of cardboard in the shape
Of a diamond. The length from point
to point, endways. should be three
inches. Cover these neatly with silk
or satin. in two contrasting colors, say
gold one side and brown the other; or
black and pink look very well. The
two sides must be scanned together.
The heart-shaped cushion is made in
exactly the same manner as the dia-
mond, two pieces being cut out in card
board, covered with silk. and scanned
together. The star cushion requires
more work than one would imagine:
1t consists of no less than twelve pieces
or diamond-shaped card. each covered
separately with silk. You will require
TWO colors for this-two shades OF
pink are very pretty, or two shades
OF blue. The diamonds must be cut
an inch and a half long, and six pieces
must be scanned together to form the
front, and the same number of the
back. A small piece of wadding in
the center of the W must be added,
just to give a little fullness to the mid
die before they are finally sewed to-
gether. The most effective way of car
rying out a pansy cushion lies i'm as
near a copy of the pansy itself as pos
sible. Two different shaped pieces are
required for it. Cut out first a piece Of
cardboard in the shape of a heart, and
cover on both sides with purple velvet
or silk scanning the edges neatly and
finishing ii off well. this being the
back. Then cut out another piece of
cardboard in the shape of a clover
lcaf and cover with yellow silk. Place
one over the other and sew them both
firmly together and buttonhole stitch
them right through with purple silk.
This makes "A charming pin cushion,
and If carried out in a large size-that
is 10 say. about six inches-it Is a pleas.
ing cushion to hang at one side of the

Chinatown restaurants at one time

when a wave of oriental bohemianism

the most utterly unconventional things
which n man could do. The red ink,

Chinese-AmCriCan restaurant. The Or
iginal Chinese restaurant down i'm Mott

little hole in the wall, rcdolent of stale
odors. There were a few greasy tables,
with long spindle legs, surrounded by
high stools. The service was very bad
