LOVELY WOMEN or CHILL.

The most striking features Of tho
CHILEAN cities Valparaiso and Santiago
are those OF their women. Certainly
nowhere else In South America, II on
MI the western hemisphere, Ia there to
be found 30 large proportion of pref
~ women In total population. The
Spanlards say that the very air there
c0nducoa 10 n perfect development OF
form and feature. However that may
be, II IN a fact that the proportion OF
beautiful women to be seen In the cities
mentioned In remarkable. The pure
blood OF the German, French and Eng
fish has mingled with the lndo-Spanish,
and the result Is Il rsco with the graces
and beauties OF each, beside which the
far-famed beauty Of the lndo-s'panIsh
woman seems tame and inslpld. With
their beauty they have much ease and
grace Of movement, and walk with the
long, swinging, vlrIle stride OF the Eng
glsh girl.
Strarge to say, the modern CHILEAN
beauty has littlc love for tho Spanlards
uIH lsS'Hlh tilS lIHpulhlIOh tuhl hIe ID
an "Indc- Espanol" But they are pleas
cd immensely. any and ali OF them,
when referred To as the yankees OF
South America" On the promenades
or when shopping, riding and attending
TO ordinary social duties, they are at
tired quite fashionably as any of their
sisters further north. While attending
church services, however. they invuri-
ably dress In black and discard tho
latest French fashions In miillnary for
mantua, which has bewltchlng eff
feet when worn by one OF these glorl-
Gus senoritas. The mantua is tho COM
mon head dress OF the poorer classes.
The brunette Is the more common
type OF beauty. though magnificent
ype of blonde Is not uncommon. The
0runettes have clear olive skins,
their features are finely chiselled and
their eyes, big and black, are lovely be-
yond description. In both Valparaiso
and Santiago women act as conductors
on the street cars The cars are double
decked and the conductor, who wears
smart uniform, has seat on the
rear platform. There she sits and col
lects the fares OF the passengers as they
get on, and she rings the register. with
which all the cars are fitted, without
leaving her seat She is affable, polite,
even tempered and accommodating to
every one but the male tilrt.

liant light of the very early dawn
which then had the splendor Of full

Then they came on board and all turn

Errington laughed. lie was amused
n the utter failure Of LOrmers recent
sudden energy, but not surprised. Ills
thoughts were, however, busted with
something else. and he next asked

"Ay, ay, sir"
Whereupon Sir Philip descended to
his private cabin. He drew the blind
at the port-nole to shut out the dazzling
sunlight, for 1t was nearly three O'Clock
n the morning, and quickly undress-
ing. he flung himself into his berth
with a slight, not altogether unpleasant
feeling, Of exhaustion.
t. the last as his eyes closed, drow-
silly, he seemed to hear the slow drip
drip OF the water behind the rocky
cavern, and the desolate cry Of the in
comp,ct enslble Sigurd, while through
these sounds that mingled with the
gurgle CT little waves tapping against
the SIDES OF the Eulalie. the name Of
"rhelma'' murmured Itself In his ears

MODERN NEWSPAPER METHODS
Striking Hdb Suggestion for a New
Literary Competition.

Sometimes 1t seems as II our es-
tecmtd contemporaries Of Newspaper
row were running short ideas as to
popular competitions. and that, hav.
.pf exhausted the capabilities OF tho
y1te for The Most Popular Grocer. the
Most Charming Motorman, The Most
Enhancing Typewriter, Tho Most
Beautiful Letter Carrier, The Most
Graceful Policeman, The Most Won
derful Bicycle, The Most Attractive
Soda-Water Fountain, etc, there
might be at last a dearth of these
thrilling Contests for supremacy"
which would leave the world desolate.
In crder, therefore. to encourage the
continuance Of an institution 30 nee.
eSFary TO the happiness and welfare
Of the community. we beg leave to
suggest competition for The Most
Irresistible Nostrum. There are few
words or combinations OF words in
the English language more familiar TO
the American eye and ear than the

! somewhat hurriedly.
Sugurd broke into violent and deri-
sive laughter. "Do you think | will

door OF my treasure to you? No, no;

and lower, what should you do with
Thelma? She Is deadr'
And, as il possessed by a sudden ac-
cess OF frenzy, he brandished his pine
torch wildly above his head Til 1t
showered a rain of bright sparks above
him, and exclaimed furously-
Away, away, and trouble me not,
The days are not yet fnlhlled--ihe time
is not yet ripe. Why seek 10 hasten
my end? Away, away | tell you.
Leave me in peace! ! will die when
And he rushed down the long gallery
and disappeared in the fulthest cham
Der. where he gave vent to a sort OF
long sobbing cry, which rang dolefuly
| through the cavern and then subsidized
into utter silence.
Feeling as IL he were In chaotic
dream. Erlington pursued his inter
rupted course through the winding pas
sages with bewildered and wonder
ing mind. What strange place had he
! inadvertently lighted on? And who
were the still stranger beings in CON
nection with it? First the beautiful
girl herself; next the mysterious coffin,
hidden in its fanciful shell temple; and
now this deformed mailman. with the
pale face and fine eyes, whose utter
ances, though incoherent. savored
somewhat OF poesy and prophecy. And
what spell was attached to that name
OF Thelma? The more he thought Of
his mornings adventure, the more
puzzled he became. AS a rule, he be-
lieved more in the commonplace than
in the romantic-most people do. But
truth to tell, romance Is far more com
! mon than the commonplace. There
are few who have not, at one time or
other OF their lives, hal some strange
or tragic episode woven into the tissue
Of their everyday existence and It
would be difficult TO find one person
even among humdrum individuals
who. from birth To death has expert
enced nothing, out Of the common.
Errington generally dismissed all
tales OF adventure as mere exaggera-
tions Of heated fancy; and, had he read
In some book OF respectable nine
teenth-century yachtsman having such
an interview with mailman in a sea
cavern, he would have laughed at the
affair as an utter improbability, though
he could not have explained why he
considered Il improbable. But now 4
had occurred to himself, he was both
surprised and amused al the whole cir
cumstance: moreover he was suffic-
iently interested and curious to be de
slrous Of sitting the matter To It's
foundation
Il was, however. somewhat OF a relief
to him when he again reached the
outer cavern. He replaced the lamp
on the shelf where he had found H.
