You find In many parts Of Spain
blue-eyed and fair-haired women, and
we have in Mexico specimens Of these
hereditary daughters Of the invading
Cloths, who have brought down to our
times, in their eyes, the memory of
blue summer seas beneath shorelands
icebound in the long winters. Aud
the fair hair IL common, too, and
somehow one never gets over the feel
ing, in listening TO the soft Spanish
coming from the lips Of blue-eyed
and light-haired woman, that she has,
perhaps, learned it Is q foreigner in
her early youth. But no; she Is a.
much q Spaniard ~ the women whose
eyes reveal the descent from the Moor
or the Carthagiuian, or as she who
has the strong profile Of the Roman
conquerer.
A fair woman Is called In Spanish
''una guerra" pronounced "oonxh
gwasrah, /" or else 'snna rubia." Both
terms are common. Among Z race
whore the dark skin prevails. to be
fair Is a mark Of beauty, and one often
hears people speaking OF some lady
in terms Of praise AZ ia guerra" To
call baby "fnir" is to capture tho
heart Of the mother. A fair complex

remained prisoners In the darkness.
David's lamp did not remain aIight
for long, not even long enough for
them to explore their surroundings.
It would be impossible " describe
their sufferings, more especially those
Of Morgan. He was frantic at times,
and il was all that David could do 10
prevent him from dashing out his
brains against the jagged rocks Of
coal.
At last the time came when Morgan
was 50 faint that he could hardly
move. David's strength, meanwhile,
had kept up wonderfully, and he did
ell he could to cheer Morgan. The
latter. who used TO pray and preach SO
much, had now not one prayer TO offer.
David could not comprehend this.

asked.

gan's dying lips.
''Ts there anything on your inind?'
There is--Milly."
''Milly? Poor Millyl I am afraid
we shall never see her again, sobbed
David, breaking down for the first
time.
He was holding Morgan's hand. He
felt great shndder pass through his
friends body.
Stop" said Morgan, ''stoop as
near Is You can. Icannot die without
telling you"
Inspasmodictones with long pauses,
constantly interrupted with exclama.
tions Of horror from David, Morgan
told how he had inveigled Milly into
the old pit and had imprisoned her so
that she could otpossibly escape and
left her only food enough for one day.
1t was terrible story to hear In
that dark vault, without CLEAN OF
light or clear hope Of escape. David
seemed to forget that he had been for
Ave days without food. A great surg
ing tide Of Indignation rolled like lava
through his veins rs he thought Of
Milly, his own darling Milly, to whom
he was 90 soon to be married.
The story was hardly finished when,
with q shout as savage as that Of
wild beast deprived Of it's mate, he
sprang up and seized the dying man.
He lifted him In his arms with the in
tention OF dashing him down again.
IL was moment Of uncomfortable
passion, reused by the thought Of
MiIly's lingering death. David held
Morgan for q few seconds and pre-
pared to ding him against the sharp
rocks Of coal.
Suddenly CLEAN OF light appeared
in far corner. Milly herself entered
the cave. David became powerless
and dropped Morgan at his feet.
Milly had not been long in her
prison when she escaped. She had
heard OF the explosion and since then,
by day and by night, for many hours
at time. she had travelled through
oil the old mines searching for. pas

the crime OF murder. Morgan, how
ever, did not live many hours longer.

Professor Ihlseng of the State col
lege, Pennsylvania, gives an interest
ing explanation Of tho difference be-
tween anthracite and bituminous coal,
so far rs the gases are concerned, his
opinion being based on the supposi-
ton Of ell coal beds having been orig
inally formed on horizontal or Eat
bed. The anthracite beds, he assumes,
we're placed Under enormous pres
sure. or side pressure, by the contrac-
tion OF the earth's crust during the
cooling stage, thus forming the coal
basins as now seen at the foot Of the
mountains; such an enormous pres
sure resulted In forcing the explosive
and other gases out Of the anthracite
beds to the seams and crevices Of the
veins aud to the fssures, seams aud
pores Of the rock strata. This COM
precision has been 80 great that gases
In the anthracite region are sometimes
found with the mighty pressure Of
1900 pounds TO the square inch. On
the other hand. the bituminous beds
have not been subjected 70 such q dis
turbanco and pressure, and the coal,
therefore, retains tho gases which IL
contained originally. White damp.

daughter Of Welsh collier, who lived
In small village IN Giamorganshirc
and worked In one Of the many neigh
boring coal pits.
Milly was peculiarly proud Of her
ancestors, and she delighted In rslat.
ing their deeds OF courage and even
heroism. For many generations her
family name figured on the death roll
Of the pits--the roll Of honor detailing
those who had died In the performance
OF their duty as colIiers, procuring coal
for the comfort and enrichment Of
their country.
The girl was known by young aud
old in the colliery district a. ''Our
Milly" and "Our Lassie," and she
was looked upon almost as the prop
erty Of the various pits, while the
special pit where her father and three
Of her brothers worked was known
more rs 'Milly's Pit" than by the
name of It's proprietor.
Milly was q striking looking girl,
much taller than any other members
OF her family, ard, though rather
slight she was neat and we'll proper
toned.
That she had many suitors was not
to be wondered at but only two out
OF them all received any encourage
ment from her. One was the local
preacher, who often preached In the
little chapel at which Milly and her
people attended; the other was the
young man who played the harmonium
at the chapel aud who was looked
upon az a musical genius in the dis
trict. Like most musicians he was Of
a very jovial nature, and naturally he
was q great favorite both in the village
and In the pit in which he worked.
Both OF these young fellows
worked with Milly's father aud BROTH
ers, and either would have been con-
sjdered q good notch for her, but espe-
cially the musician.
1t was Milly's eighteenth birthday,
and II happened to be Mondays
day on which most golfers do not work.
Milly had received numerous little
presents from her various admirers,
which she had strewn on the kitchen
table. before which she sat contcm-
plating them with q beaming faco.
The picture was 4 pretty one. The
kitchen OF a steady, sober, industrious
miner Is not q place 10 be despised.

ness and comfort, with certain amount

to say something, but his tongue
seemed as II IL were tied. He became
SO pale that Milly was frightened. She
placed chair near him aud pressed
him into IL, He grasped the arms OF

again he tried 10 speak, then he ges-
ticulated feebly with his hands.
"Stay there!" she cried, ~ will

The nearest house was locked. The
girl had TO 60 farther. When she re-
turned Morgan was gone.
He was good fellow, but Milly
loved another.
To be the husband of this girl had
been the dream Of his life. His love
for her was an insanity. He felt that
he could not live without some hope
OF obtaining her. He would not for a
moment allow that she was not TO be
his; to have done 30 would have meant
suicide.
For o whole month he kept away
from the pit, 10 consequences OF which
he lost his preforment. During that
time he went from place 10 place, bait
Ting with the great love that was
burning within him. But IL increased;
1t mastered him. Milly's image was
constantly before him, and for time
his disappointment drove him TO
drink.
At last he decid d TO struggle no
longer against his love; 80 he went
back to work by the side ofhis success

against whom he could bear no AMI

He saw Milly as Of old. She
thought he had conquered his feelings
toward her, 80 their former friendship
was renewed.
One day, few hours after the pits
had commenced work, Morgan came
to MilIy looking very pale.

Mr.. Frye, (Maine), said: 81 am against
the present recognition OF the alleged
republic Of Cuba. believe that such
recognition belongs to the President OF
the United States and not to Congress,
and believe that In my place some SEN
ator on the foreign relations committee
ought to be appointed who holds Views
Numerically opposite to mine. The sem
ator from Ohio. (Mr. Foraker), is the
father OF this proposition to recognize
the Cuban republic now, and I trust
that the vice president will appoint him.
I have been silent oil through this dis
cusslon because wanted action. Now,
for Gods sake, let us do something TO

The first note Of compromise was then
sounded by Mr.. Teller. He said that It
was apparent that II a vote were taken

ton It took last Saturday night and

might as well settle the matter at once.

monious conclusion. Instead, as men,
Der Of the committee. he met an entirely
different situation than that outlined 10
him. The house conferees refused to In
sert the words "are and," which they
had eliminated from the resolution, even
though the senate would abandon Its

said this action was wholly unsatlsfac-

be absolutely unjustifiable before the

Mr.. Hoar continued to argue that the
President should be left as commander

him In his own way to recognize the In
dependence Of Cuba, which right, he
held, was sacred under the constitution,
Mr.. Mason (Ills.), stated what he con-

had been that II the senate would yield
