In Sweden crime IS an event. Theft
particularly is very rare. Honesty Is
the fundamental quality Of the race,
IS naturally recognized and officially
counted upon. In this respect the
StockhOlmers show a confident care
lessness which IS always a surprise TO
strangers and causes them some nm
easlness. In the theaters ana concert
halls there are large cloakrooms, where
hats and furs are left without the
smallest safeguard. The performance
over, each one again takes possession
of his effects, nor does an accident"
ever occur. The inhabitants are ac-
customed to expect reciprocal probity
IN the transactions Of everyday LIE.
Upon most of the tramways in Stock
holm conductors have been dispensed
with. The passenger himself deposits
10 ore IN a till placed at the end Of the
vehicle, behind the driver.

The priest told me OF the union and
flight Of the lovers, lmplorlng me TO
keep secret my adventure in the walk
and grove. as my story might afford
the means wherewlth to trace out their
hiding place.
Late In the day | sank into a pro
found slumber which lasted until the
next morning. Father Ingatius soon
came to me, and, after bathing and
dressing my wOund-he was an expert
surgeon-he told me that Donna Julia
would call on me to apologize for her
brothers mistake. and to ascertain If
l was carefully nursed.
Donna Julia soon entered, accom-
panied by her duenna. l started with
surprise and delight as a beautiful girl
Of about II years entered the room
and greeted me rs "Senor Americana"
In the softest and sweetest Of tones.
Donna Julia made many apologies
for the brothers almost fatal mistake.
Don Manuel de Mona had fed to his
ranch with Isabelle, who dared not re-
main with Julia lest she should be kid
mapped by Don Pedro during her hus-
bands absence. Don Manuel was col

On discovering Isabelle's flight Don
Pedro started in pursuit. But not hay
Ing force enough he hired n number
of Indians, who murdered him for re-
fusing TO pay a sum Of money they re-
qulred before Joining the expedition.
On hearing Of the death Of his faith

Monza's anger; and when Isabelle re-
turned she found herself in possession
Of her fortune, as by Don Pedro's
death It reverted to her.
Long before my wound was healed
Don Manuel and his bride returned to
Mexico, and l soon became intimate
with the cavalier whose first meeting
ended so unpleasantly. Our congenial
tastes made us the best of friends, and
now we are like brothers.
Another tie has drawn us together.
BY the time my first wound had healed

from Donna Julia. But when informed
of my love for her she undertook to
heal the wound by marrying me.-New

When night has come and day Is done
Ny love for thee Ia Ike the breeze

That breathes for love from hour &
