owed to take June as being retired from
pryins eyes; but, ah! how different was
1t to-day! The seclusion which had irked
her so with Tom, from which she had
longed to escape, seemed an enchantment
whose only flaw was that it must have an
| end.
They were reaching for the tenth time
the evergreen arch which divided them
from the flower garden. Dallas stopped,
and June stood still beside him.
''How shall see you Tomorrow he
! says, his eyes full of tenderness and a
touch Of regret in his voice. TON will
be here, and then my short day will be
over"
June meets his gaze for one moment
then her eyes droop. and a Pickering color
comes into her check
MY darlingw he murmurs, and his
arm takes gentle possession Of her slight
form, his handsome face bends down to
hers, his lips touch hers, not with the
eager haste with which they have often
times sought red lips before, but with a
tenderness and reverence new to him, but
most exceeding sweet.
And June! Her heart gives one mighty
throb; involuntarily her eyes close; for
one moment a trance seems to steal her
soul.
She makes a movement to disengage
herself from his arms; he yields to 1t at
once; and then, before they have time to
recover themselves, each hears a sound
of hurrying feet and then Toms voice
shouting:
Dali where are your
The awakening is horrible. Tom here
already? Both feel like culprits-Dallas
perhaps even more than June.
Dallas shouts in answer, and Toms big
form looms straightway in the opening.
He does not wear that CHEEKY, genial
smile which is the ordinary garb Of his
face; he is evidently i'll pleased; his light
blue eyes express anything but satisfac-
ton. He shakes both by the hand, and
they try to look delighted, and feel secret
Iy awkward and a little bit afraid Of this
usually good-humored giant. He is like
4 big Newfoundland-the children's slave
and plaything-who shows temper for the
6rst time.
Il managed to catch the earlier train"
be says, standing tapping his boot with
his stick. Il thought there was a chance,
and told the dog cart to meet me-
Then they ply him with questions about
his journey and the Show, and he an
swers them, but he is not the Tom they
are used to. Something is wrong with
him. When they all go into the house
together and June finds Agnes drinking
tea with Mrs. Ellesmere she has a terribly
shrewd suspicion who it is that has been
making mischief and putting ideas into
Toms head.

women religiously attend. In Cuba the
church and her children are a woman's s
life. She soon loses her husband as her
companion in the home. She does not
read. She never heard of a new wom-
m. She has her little circle Of friends
like herself. and some day dies. But
she has been faithful to the church, and
the most striking thing about a service
In the great cathedral Is the presence of
the women of Havana and the absence
of the men. 1t Is said here that most
men go to church but three times in
their Ife-when baptized, when about
to be married and when dead-and the
church is as rigid in its requirement of
the first two visits as the departed Is to
be received there at last.
The cathedral is really one Of the
finest edifices in Havana. 1t Is built to

Ike You to give me your hand on It that
you win not try to come between me and
my little girl"
So Dallas gave his hand and swore to
himself to be faithful to the bond of which
this was the seal. Then he went out into
the garden alone, and, stepping into the
boat, pushed OF from the shore, and lay
on his back, looking up into the moonlit
heaven and thinking with . bitter panS
Of this time last night.
1t was the first time In his life that he
had loved with true, genuine affection,
and 1t was also the first time that he had
felt absolutely without hope. There was
only one thing for ito get out Of the
way Of temptation 40 soon a. possible.
He had given his word to Tom, and, 50
help him, God, he meant to keep 1t.
The next morning June was sadly pre-
occupied during her studies; she could
think Of nothing but Dallas and what pre-
text he could make to see her to-day.
When she returned home 1T midday, Mrs
Rivers said:
TON has been here"
June turned to the window to conceal
her face. Her heart beat wildly. She
waited almost In terror for the next

protest to her mother7 But Mrs. Rivers

through her heart: she had to hold the

less between the two men, which had end

ly he might have communicated with her
by some means. And Tom had told her
mother nothing; that was evident.
When June could command her fac

window.

last for ages. In 1t are the remains OF
Christopher Columbus-that is, the
tomb is there, beside the altar and the
inscription. 1t Is also duly authenti-
Gated that the remains are there. too,
but even Spaniards nod doubtfully
when asked, rs 1t true?"
The lottery is the curse Of Havana.
One Of the first cries heard on the
street in the morning is the schrill voice
of Cuban yelling that he has lottery
tickets for sale. 1t is often the last
sound heard at night. 1t would seem
that all Cuba must gamble to support SO
formidable a company Of takers.
All the storekeepers are courteous
and unobtrusive. A visitor experiences
great difficulty in purchasing anything
Enthusiastically Cuban in the stores,
but that is because Cuba produces only
two things, sugar and tobacco, and
buys everything she uses-even buys
back her sugar refined.
The easiest thing to buy is cigars. and
they cost astonishingly less than IN the
States. There is an experience In buy
ing them, because the great cigar fac
tories Of Havana, producing brands
that are known to smokers all over the
world, are interesting institutions. They
occupy buildings so nearly resembling
the ordinary dwelling house that they
would be mistaken for them by u
stranger except for the odor.
Quaint Cuban Houses.
The Cuban house of the better class is
Of the ordinary, typical construction. 1t
is enormously heavy, built Of adobe or
soft stone, to withstand earthquakes
and to resist heat. The rooms are enor-
nous, with ceiling from fifteen to twen-
ty or twenty-five feet high, all floors.
even in the bedrooms, being Of stone,
and the windows covered with great
iron bars.
The houses of the lower class look no
different from without, but are awful
within. and there the cause of Havana's
scOurges of yellow fever is at once ap-
parent. The city Is badly drained. The
bay, with no free course of water, and
comparatively little tide, is reservoir,
uncIea nsed, Of the city's offal. 1t breeds
disease, and in squalor where personal
uncleanlihess is added to the perils in
Cured by municipal neglect, the houses
of the poor have become the incubators
of pestilence. Havana has many beau
tiful parks, squares and public places.
The squares are all ornamented with
royal palms and here and there an or
ange or banana tree, and here and there
an Indian laurel.
No city in the world is furnished with
such an abundance and variety of foods
as is Havana, with the possible excep-
ton of San Francisco. The earth and
the sea give to its people all the best Of
their fruits. The great market Of Ha-
vana is without an equal, SURPRISING,
as it does. the famed French market Of
New Orleans. This market covers an
area equal to that Of an American

block. and 1t is all under a single roof.
There are numberless booths in which
are exposed for sale all the fruits of the
tropics, sea fish, fresh water fish, meats,
game, leather goods. jewelry and such
curios as only a seaport visited by the
commerce of the world can pick up.
There are seen men, women and chill
dren of every nationality upon the
earth. The wonder is how so small a
town can gather to itself such a wide
range Of humanity.
The population Of Havana is mixed
and its morale is very low. The condi-
tiOn Of the women remind a widely
travelled man of the women Of the
Orient They are close-kept and live in
tropical idleness. Miscegeneration is
common, and 1t is no rare matter to find
