has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,

Hubinger, although but ~ years OF
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality il
az bountiful as his business sagacity In
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky. in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. Al
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
BY inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes. and in the course Of
time he became the head of a concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection.

and research Mr.. Hubinger has made q

FEAST OF THE DEAD.
A Day of Strange Gifts and Tokens
in the Sister Republic of
Mexico.

The feast of the dead is the day in
Mexico that takes the place of st. VAL
entine's day of this country. The cus-
tom is that of giving gifts the same as
the custom of this country. but the peo-
pie differ greatly as to the gifts. Here
the tokens are bits of painted silk and
verse telling of regard. trinkets as SYM
bols of friendship, flowers as a happy
remembrance that the good old times
of the good old saint are not entirely
forgotten. AS the name of the day sig
nifies, the people of Mexico have their
shop windows filed with puppets and
groups supposed to commemorate the
dead, and odd little things some Of
them are and many are very costly. One
gift to go to some wealthy person was
an ebony hearse, about q foot long,
trimmed in inlaid pearl. Miniature
horses were attached and a miniature
man held the lines, wearing a very doi,-
full expression on his face. Then there
are slabs of board with tiny figures of

little slabs are supposed to represent
the funerals of persons in every walk
of life, and are given as gifts on the day
of the feast of the dead, and varying in
price and pomp according to the sta
ton of the recipient. If person really
has had q death in the family then
greater care is taken in the selection.
but if he has not had q death the gift
finds its way to his home just the same

CHAPTER XIu.-Continued
CLARENCE HERBERT NEW.


I thought the man would have q fit
of apoplexy; even his vast store of deep
sea profanity failed him for the mo-
ment. His crew were Germans, but
enough of them understood English to
keep the run of what was going on, and
I could see they were rather enjoying
the situation; evidently the skipper was
. thorough brute at sea. He was
speechless with rage; but, as had the
advantage of him, there was nothing
to do but pull of to his schooner and
sail away. She was just standing out
past Orote when the carbonate jolted
up with the colonel and his two lieu
tenants. Dorotea saw that Legaspe
was likely to get wigging for allowing
the visitors to leave before her father
saw them, and shrewdly put IN entire
ly different light upon the airby say
ing-in English, for my benefit:
Padre milo, you the Senior Enrique
must thank for protecting me at the
risk Of his life. Tn brute capitano did
land from la goleta and did order his
men to take away the copra. telling
the Senior Lepaspe that he would pay
but a mere nothing; and when l did
say that he could not have It, he in
suited me. Then the Senior ENRIQUE
did give him five minutes to go away
before he killed him, though the brute
did have seven men from his goleta.''
Well. that settled the stranger, and
made me the biggest man on the is
land. The gobernador's right arm
went over my shoulder, and his left
under my right, in a twinkiing; then,
after three pats on the small of NV
back and a moment or two of ecstatic
silence, he reversed the arms, left over
my right shoulder. etc., three more
pats, more silence. kisses on both nv
cheeks. then an endless string of ex-
travagant protestations concerning his

the thing done many times before
among people Of the Latin races, but
being kissed by 4 man was. to say the
least. a novelty. Even Legaspe ex-
pressed himself In exaggerated terms
concerning the way in which had
called the captains hand: and, al NO
mention was made of his supposed
mistake, he was our very humble serv-
ant. Lest other dangers of q similar
nature should threaten it. however,
Dorotea mentioned to her father Hal
stead's assumed intention Of buying
the copra at high figure. on specula-
ton. and suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of
placing guard over it at night. The
colonei's cupidity was aroused. and the
guard was set; but. owing to Br'er

he could make his men do was to pa

evening of May 8 he burst into the
patio, where we were at dinner, with
his oily countenance fairly shining. he
had been out in his big proa all day,
and at last had been successful. There
were exultation, greed, many things,
in the look he cast upon me; but the
man had suffered disappointment and
illness, and the Lord knows I didn't
feel like begrudging him this bit of
good luck. I listened to him, con-
graduated him heartily upon his great
discovery, and prophesied great
things for his book, until midnight-a
child could have seen that I had no
personal interest in the reef-then I
said goodnight and went upstairs.
Stepping quietly along to the door
of Dorotea's room. gave a few faint
taps upon it. and in q moment her voice
asked:
"Quien llama?"
'Soy -Enriquito. Open the door
for a moment" In a second she stood
before me in loose wrapper that
made her look wonderfully pretty.
"Dorotea. querida, I'm going for a
long sail before daylight. Will you
come with me, about half-past three?"
The request would have been a severe
test of any woman's love, but, with her
arms upon my shoulders, she whis-
pered:

it almost reached the head Of the bay,
I landed and hastily dug the figure

Wrapping q piece of mating about
the thing. SO as not to brighten Doro-

waiting for me. She had heard all
about Br'er Miguel as we came along,
and, though frightened at my temeri-

her sense of humor afterward got the
better OF her fears. Having decided
that our waxen companion could find
no better final resting-place than the
big proa-the padre certainly owed it
