The Spanish Language.

Habla V. Espanol? Perhaps not. 1t
is very pretty tongue, however. There
is Latin in it of course. Then there
are Punic, Gothic and Arabic. In these
elements reside its construction and its
history. Spain means hidden" A
long time ago the Carthaginians dis
covered the country. When the Ro-
mans discovered it, too, they threw a
toga over it. The Visigoths stuck their
gutturals there. The MOors brought
their filigrees and arabesques. Latin
was beaten in with the hilt of the
sword, Gothic with a trowel and
Arabic with a scimitar. From those
three assaults the Spanish of to-day is
the result-Edgsr Saltus in Golfers

"Aartyrdom "

cords in her diary this tragic announce
ment of the end of her romping girl
hood:
This is my birthday and the date OF
my martyrdom. Mother insists that
at last l must have my chair done up
woman fashion," She says she can
badly forgive herself for letting me
''run wild" so long. We've had a great
time over it all, and here I sit like an

There was not breath of wind and
there was no sound in the air. The
mist hung motionless. The things that
he passed seemed TO jump up suddenly
out of it. A gorse bush or a stunted
tree would take almost human move
ment in the tricky light. Two or three
sheep came close up to him out of the
gray veil and as suddenly turned and
scampered away again. He wake
on. He had left the track for some
time before he noticed that he had
done so.
He lit another cigarette and stood
perfectly still. He had quick ears aud
was ready to catch the least sound of a
football or of wheel on the cart track
and to give the call which would bring
him home again. If he heard nothing
he would still, he told himself, be pa
tient enough 10 stand there and go on
smoking while the cigarettes lasted.
By that time the mist would probably
have hfted-it would be new expert
ence.
Suddenly, though he did not hear the
least sound of any footstep, he was con-
scious that somebody was coming to-
ward him. AT little distance the fig
ure looked like tall column, vague
and shapeless. As it drew nearer the
mist illusion passed. 1t WAS woman,
veiled and dressed in gray. As it came
close up 10 him he saw it was a very
young woman, and that the lines of her
figure were beautiful. She stopped
when she was close TO him, but did not
speak. The silence seemed almost un-
canny. He took off his hat.
"Do not let me frighten you" he
said. II am merely harmless travel
er lost in the mist, and, / presume, you
are in a similar case?'
She laughed. 1t was a pretty, mu-
sical laugh.
s'Oh, no,D she said, "I know the
moor well, and often walk here when
tn mist is thick like this. Perhaps /

at is exceedingly kind of yon," he
said. "I am sorry to give you so much

"Arnmore?' she aid. 81 am going
there myself"
He smiled, EMBARRASSED little.

cort for your guidance?"

One of 2i Children Enlists.

Henry LejOy is the name of a young
man from COhOes who was enlisted in
the regular army at the local recruiting
station lately. He is a member of
perhaps what onc1 was the largest fam
lily in the United States. He was
brought to the rendezvous by his father,
who, wearing long gray beard, looked
like one of the patr,archs. Among tie
questions which are asked of every ap-
plieant for enlistment is, How many
brothers and sisters haveyou and how
many are dead?
So Sergt. Hutton propOunded the
question. GLOW many brothers and
sisters Of yours are dead?'
ThequestiOn seemed to be a puzzler
for the young soldier. He bent his
head as though in deep thought, and
finally, after long pause, answered:
Nineteen"
"YOu misunderstood my question:"
queried the sergeant. ''I asked you il
you had any brothers and sisters dead,
and how many?"
al have nineteen brothers and sisters
dead, /" repeated the embryo soldier.
"How many have you living?"
"Four."
"Then you are one of family of "A
children" asked the sergeant.

1t hac rained all the morning, the
drops pattering on the loaded window
in which he sat, with his writing pad
on his knee. In the afternoon the rain
had ceased. The sky was still gray.
The empty mOorland, and water drip
ping from the trees, the cry of the cur
lews-aIl gave the scene a certain mel
aneholy. Toward evening the mist lay
thick and gray over everything. He
was sensitive TO this melancholy of the
world outside his windows. Late in
the evening, tired oi' his work, tired of
the French novel he had been attempt
ing to read, he went out. A laboring
man passed him in the road and said
"GoOd night" Marone asked him the
way to the next village, Arnmore. The
man pointed to the track across the
moor and warned him to be careful not
to get Off it. People had been lost in
the mist. Marone laughed, lit a ciga-
rette, and, leaving the road, walked
quickly along the track.

OUT OF THE MIST.

To him who has much, much is given
and much is forgiven. Charles Ma
rome had at tLe age of 40 wealth and
health, good looks, considerable repu-
tation as a novelist and some basis for
that reputation. He was not always
popular with men, but in recompeBse
he had been adored by many women.
Having much, much was permitted to
him-to be caprieious, TO be fan,:Aslicai,
to have eccentricities, to carry self-in-
dulgence to the utmost limit, even to
be cruel.
1t was caprice which drove him from
London in the middle of the season
and made him take a little tumbled
down cottage near the village of Low
stead and live there alone, to the anger
Of his servants and the mystiication
of his personal friends. 1t was not ali
caprice-vanity came into it. His van
ity was fiattered when he mystified
people. That is easy to explain-their
mystification implied interest. There
was yet third reason. He was strange
ly practical for one so idealistic: ne had
made a contract with publisher to
finish certain work in a certain time.
In the country he would be able 10
work without interruption.
