This wear the great spring roundup
was to take place at Aqua Caliente.
To this roundup, which with the
sports that followed, was the great
fiesta of the opening summer season,
Chiquita was going, and Chiquita,
therefore was as excited and happy
as only a girl can be when on the eve
Of her first great social event. She had
risen long before daylight and sang to
herself little Spanish hymn of
thanksgiving as she polished her sill

place in the old vegetable can, and laid
out the brightly colored handkerchief
for her neck. and the white stockings,
which We're the first stockings that
Chiuuita had ever possessed, and were
to be worn for the first time today.
Chiquita was particularly anxious to
look we'll on this occasion. 1t was only
last night that Manuel had spoken to
her and had received his answer. She
had always known that Manuel would
speak in this way to her, sooner or
later; had known it for ages, ever
since she was old enough to under
stand anything about such things, and
that was a very long time ago, for
Chiuuita was nearly seventeen. But
Manuel waited for he knew that
neither Chiquta's father nor the
padre, who was as second father to
all of his little flock. would give their
consent until Manuel could make
some show Of worldly prosperity. For
two years he had been trying to gather
together a. herd of his own. working
in the meanwhile as VaquerO and
buying cattle with what money he
could save, and at last he had register

The brand had been devised by Chi
quita herself. Manuel had asked her
to, in order, as he said, to bring luck
to the herd, and Chiquita at last had
hit upon the device that was the dis
tinguiShing mark of Manuel's cattle
the CrossboW.
Chiquita dressed herself and hurried
to the door of the little abode house just
as the sun shot uD over the level edge
OF the desert, bringing the scene at
once from darkness into broad day, for
there is little or no twilight in Arizona
near the Mexican border line. 1t paled
the camp fires that glowed along the
trail that lay a white streak along the
desert of yellow sand; and from around
the fires there came a hum of voices
and an occasional shout as the campers
made ready their morning meal. or
gathered their horses and saddled them,
ready to start for the fiesta where all
we're bound.
Never before, at one time, had Chi
luita seen SO many people. The trail
was covered by horsemen and cattle

THE MONTH OF ROSES.

May is called the month of flowers because
under the increasing heat of the sun, vegetation
blossoms rapidly and lends its varied hues to
beautify the landscape.
During this month also there are usually dis
turbances in the human body. Winter diet, the
foul air of close rooms insufficient exercise, have
left the system full Of impurities, which, under
the influence of warm weather manifest them
selves in biliousness, tired feelings, salowness,
sluggish brain, nervousness, Indigestion, loss of
sleep. These symptoms are only forerunners of
more serious diseases sure to follow, unless
measures are taken to purify and strengthen
the vital organs. At this season the cleansing,
regulating and strengthening properties of
PRICKLY ASH BTTTERs are particularly appro-
pirate. 1t is four medicines i'll one. A kidney
tonic, liver regulator, stomach stimulant and
bowel purifier. A few doses taken when the
annoying bilious symptoms appear will strength
en- and tone up the system and enable the body
to pass through the heat of summer unaffected
by the diseases common to the season. Sold by
c. Z. Grafton.
