During the centuries of Arabic oc-
cupation there had been but scanty
afliliation between the conquerors and
the conquered on account of the differ
ences in religion, which precluded in
termarriage. Throughout the Moham-
medan domination the Spaniards had
clung obstinately to Catholicism, so
hrmly implanted by the Romans. The
Moors were not nearly so fanatical in
their religious propaganda as the
catholics, and under their beneiicent
rule the despised Jews were allowed
immunity from persecution. 1t was
during the Arabic regime that the in
s'itution Of chivalry had its birth. It
brought with it the exaggerated and
superficial worship of woman, who,
after all, was neither more nor less
man chattel, the preservation of a
eo5fciye religious policy and super
sensitive. and stilted code of honor.

Light showers are falling tonight. A
sad incident cf the flood occurred at
Riverside. The family of William
Cline, an Ohio River railroad employee
were quartered in the second story of
their home when the rapid rise of the
water made it necessary to vacate. A
raft was hastily constructed and the
eight children Of the family were plac

days old babe were carried on a bed
to the frail raft and all were landed
safely. The mother and child were

An chronological Study of the Spanish Problem Among the
Nations of the World
IE DE MONTAIGU.

Cruelty later on superseded the chiV-
alrous instincts incuicated during this
period. The invaders were finally driv-
en- away and those who remained SUI
fered spoliation and persecution. The
bigoted priesthood, ever jealous OF its
prerogatives, was the prime factor
in instigating the torture and extinc-
ton of the hated inidels. Dogma
reigned, and in few years the enlignt-
ment spread by the learned Arabs was
forgotten. The pail of darkest night
settled over the land. As a climax of
bigotry 5000 manuscripts of inestima-
be value were burned by the primate
OF Spain in the public square OF Gran
ada. Priestly rule prevailed, and blind
obedience to the mandates of the
church was exactsd. While ether ma
lions encouraged everything progress
slve Spain placed an embargo on all
that tended toward it. National pride
was lulled to sleep, martial spirit was

The Spanish as a nation are a cur
tous chronological problem. Their char
acteristics are peculiarly their own,
their nature complex and difficult to
analyze, The Spaniard has but little
affinity with the Anglo-Saxon and was
designated by Sir Philip Sidney as
the child Of hell and the ally of the
devil Needless to say, throughout
the march of centuries the type has
remained in tact the veneer of civili-
cation being but mask hiding the
latent savagery beneath.
The strangely complex nature of
this people may be largely attributed
10 the various vicissitudes of con-
quest, the invasion of foreign hosts
bringing with it the consequent ad-
mixture of several distinct races, first

called, motioning for Mr. Perry to ap-

Mr.. Perry, glancing up at me. "Were

They listened intently, and then Sonn-

"Will you two stand to one side ?"
Sonntag called out. That shooting ap-
paratus might go off again in getting
the door OPEN"
The bundle of papers which had
fallen from the dead mans grasp was
picked up by Sonntag's companion and
handed by him to Mr.. Perry. Then the
man turned to me, and, bestowing a
smile upon me at the astonishment he
evidently saw depicted on my face, went
TO Sonntag's assistance.
No wonder / was amazed For the
man was he who had played such a
treacherous game upon Florence, had
tried to shoot me, and had escaped my
wrath a few minutes before-Skinner,
the station agent at Sidington.
"Ah. here is some of it, Nelson-some
of the stolen bonds!" Mr.. Perry eX-
claimed, in excitement. perhaps we
may recover all of them. i don't sup
pose there is any hope of getting back
the money" he continued, with a sigh.
"Oh, well, the bonds stolen amounted to
100000. If we get them back, it will
be something"
Then he burriedly stepped over near
the door TO watch Sonntag and Skin
ner, leaving me TO my thoughts.
Poor Florencel My heart was rent

promise to Mr.. Morley that she should
never hear anything against her IA
ther to cause diminution of her love
and respect-how was l TO keep that
promise, when the father lay there in
yonder room, shot to death by his part
ner, his tool, his pupil in crime?
Here another pistol-report sounded,
followed by an exclamation of satisfac-
tion from Sonntag for Immediately the
door swung open.
"Now. then, Mr.. Conway, you can
investigate this mystery" he said, com
ing toward me.
While Mr.. Perry and Skinner were en-
gagged in searching for the cause of the
voice and the pistol-shots, Sonntag
spoke in low, earnest tones:

after you?" he asked.

But my words were interrupted. He

movement of his arm, and was about
to pull the trigger to forestall his pur-

NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularity is a matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however. endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsattle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
fornance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUpE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
county. Read what she says:
