when the bowels become caught or compressed by
contracting tissues in such way as to cut of the

counted II. Antonio will marry me
for that"
Vejar struck her down with blow
on the breast. She sat upon the floor
as quietly as II she we're basking in
the sun, dreaming the eternal Mexican
dreams.
If you hit me again shall say that
you did 1t. They would believe me-"
Vejar stood thinking, with the body
and the woman at his feet. He knew
that she was right. The Gringoes
would believe a woman. II was the
custom OF the fools. She held his life
in her hard, broad hands, and she
would give 1t for the sake of the soft
eyed gambler as calmly. as relentlessly
as she had given that of the boy be-
tween them.
He carried the body out and buried
II before dawn, far from the adobe,
and SO skillfully that there were no
traces OF the spot. Then he turned the
lame horse loose, and 1t wandered into
the town.
For the sake OF the forty gold pieces
that we're Sola WEARS dowry that she
had come by, he did not ask how
nor care-that conjured up visions Of
limitless wealth to BE- won, Antonio
Mascavel consented to take her and
let the ungilded beauty Of Refugio
Garfias go.
Many Americans disappeared in those
days, and were never accounted Cor.
II was 80 with the,one who had started
from the San Fernando district to Los
Angeles, foolishly carrying a large
amount Of gold in his belt--some said
more than a thousand dollars. The
sheriff and q posse searched and did
not find him; that was all.
Antonio lived with Sola for a year,
and she was happy-though no fault
OF his. His luck turned, and he won,
with her nest egg, the fortune he had
dreamed of. Having done SO, he went
across the border.
For a long time Sola mourned, sui
lenly and deeply; then-vejar having
been killed at roundup by an en-
ragged steer-she took up her abode
with Refuglo, and became a devoted
and patient nurse to her children.
For Refugio had married the rich
American, and had long since forgiven
the detection of Mascavel and the wo-
man who had caused it.-Gwendolen

Smooth and lean-they have stripped

Down to her leering guns.

With her weight Of ten thousand
tons,
From bow to stern her watches turn
The beams of her searching suns.
A-wash, half-drowned, we speed a.

For she must see ere her fangs are free
That she may begin to bite,

THAT misses us In the night.
They have freighted her with Ave hum

She is fierce with rifled guns;
Put she cannot mark as she rolls In the

We fit as mist wreath on the sea,
And ere hef topmen leap
We have struck and fled and the riven

A Rlfflan HOrseman.

1.-THE greatest feat of horsemanship I
ever saw performed was by Riffian
irregular cavalryman," said Capt. j. e.
Rathbone Of Los Angeles. Cal, to a
Sun man. This was in reply to story
related by an ex-Confederate, who had
served with Gen. j. Z. b. Stuart in the
valley of Virginia. The latter told
how, on more than one occasion, !Tur-
ner Ashby had ridden up to an oppos-
ing cavalryman, seized him around the
waist, lifted him out of the saddle az
II he had been o child, and taken him
back on his own horse into the Con-
federate lines. II was agreed that this
was more OF feat of strength and dis
play of courage than Workmanship.
IL have seen Cossacks snatch baby
from its mothers arms at full gallop,
toss It into the air, catch 1t, and re-
peat the performance" said Capt.
Rathbone. 81 once saw an Indian rid
er in the far West spring from his
pony's bare back while the animal was
moving at full gallop, pick up an arrow
and remount instantly II a standing
posture. have seen other perform
ances all over the world, but for neat,
clever. clean-cut feat this Rifilan ex-
ceeded them all. l think.
Several of us had been at Gibraltar
and found ourselves at the town Of
Militia, on the Riffian coast. We were
entertained by the Spanish comman-
der, who did the honors finely. One
morning we rode outside the town
and reached level stretch of sand,
where there were number of Riffiap
horsemen. They were fine looking fell
lows, with cleaning faces Of bronze.
white teeth, and attired in snow white
burnouses. They we're mounted on
small animals. slight. but quick and
wiry, Of the thoroughbred Arab barb
type.
"We were amused some time by their
charges and evolutions. They would
throw their swords and matchlocks in
the air, catching them by the hilts and
stocks infallibly. Finally 1t was an
nounced that something Of unusual in
terest would be accomplished. One Of
the men produced needle and piece
Of thread. possibly two or three feet
in length. They were both handed
around for inspection. suppose the
needle was a cambria one, and tina
thread 80 or 60 fine. When we had
duly inspected both, one Of the men
signified he would thread the needle.
He galloped his horse down the sand
about 400 yards or so. He finally
wheeled his horse and remained sta
tionary, facing us. The one who held
the needle and thread waved them in
his hand and rode toward the further
one. Immediately the latter spnrred
his horse into gallop end came to-
ward us at full speed. AS he passed
the other he took the needle and
thread from his companion, bent over
for moment and pulled up when he
reached our party, holding the thread
ed needle triumphantly over his head"

CLIMATE OF MANILA
What Uncle Sans Troops Must Stand 10
That TOrrid Region.

That Torrid Region.
Il am wondering in these days, when
Uncle Sam is about sending troops
from the Pacific coast to the Philip
pines, what the American boys will
think OF the climate over there. With
the possible exception OF some parts
of interior India and Arabia, doubt
II there is any hotter climate than that
of Manila. The islands reach within
four degrees of the equator. The tenn
perature is not so very high, but the
humidity Is. The most extreme care
must constantly. be exercised to keep
ones physical condition properly toned
all summer long. The hottest days in
the year are in May and June. For
tunately breeze usually springs UP In
the early evening. and that tempers
the atmosphere so that one can get
some sleep II he is properly fixed for
II, when midnight comes. The mean
temperature at the Philippines Is r.,
degrees. In November the weather
cools and then for weeks at time
along the scacoasts 1t Is about as near
perfection as anyone can imagine. To
call the months Of December, January
and February there winter is mock
cry. For seven months in the year,
from April to October, no one but the
poorest laborer goes out Of doors, un-
less compelled to do 80, between In
the morning and 4 in the afternoon.
In Manila the whole population rises
at i and 5 q. m. and gets the work of
the day out Of the way before s o'clock.
The houses are opened, servants clean
up, merchants do their business and
the school children are busy with their
teachers. Even the civil and military
officers attend to most of their duties
between and 3 a. m. Then when old
Sol begins to shoot his darts down
upon the country more perpendicular
ly the whole population go into their
house Of stone and wood with heaYy
roofs OF tiles and sort Of asphaltum
found In that country, and stay there
until shutdown. 1t is land of siestas.
Every one who can sleeps there all
day long, and slumber Is there reduced
to a science. Hammocks abound and
couches of bamboo are in every homo,
hotel, club, and loafing place. The SER 1
wants are trained to keep their masters
ami nlistresses comfortable by bringing
them iced drinks or tray OF smoking
material whenever they awaken after
a nap. All buildings are erected with
the idea of keepingAthe heat out as
much as possible. Business Is sus-
pended all day long; even the men at
the wharves quit work for six or seven
hours when the sun Is highest.
AT shutdown Manila wakes up.
There IL an opening of the heavy board
window blinds and an exodus of peo-
pie from their homes. Even the trees
and sbrubbery shake off their drowSi-
ness. The merchants open their heavy
store doors, and the streets suddenly
start 10 life. The principal meal OF the
day is served at about q o'clock, and
with the rich Spanish 1t is a ceremo-
NOUS affair. Thereafter the whole
population goes out for walk. Even
ing calls are made upon friends and
the plazas are at their gayest. The
cock fights take place in the evening;
the old theatre Is always crowded at
nigEt-especially Sunday nights"
