Foreign Residents OF Peru startle the
Natives-Soldiers Called Out.
Lima, Nov. 15.-Twenty. four foreign
residents Of Peru learned in police
court Tuesday morning how unsafe 1t
is to trif1e with the fears OF a South
American population. Thirty foreign
ers, mostly Germans, packed hampers
with refreshments, provided them
selves with Bengal lights and a tele-
scope and climbed, late Monday night,
to the top Of San Cristobal mountain,
on the outskirts of Lima, to- watch for
shooting stars. The celestial show fall
ing to materialize, the observers turned
tainside ablaze with purple, red and
orange fire.
In less than fifteen minutes all Lima
was in an uproar. Some Of the fright
ened Inhabitants thought San Cristo-
bal eminence had burst into activity
as a volcano; few connected the dis
play with the sidereal phenomena ex-
pected by astronomers; some thought
the end of the world was at hand, while
Others believed a revolutionary force
had seized the mountain and was pre-
pairing to attack Lima.
This last was apparently the view OF
the authorities. for they sent a strong
military detachment to make a recon-
noisance.
1t took time to get the military in
marching order. and it was o'clock, or
Whereabouts, when the start was made.
The soldiers moved with all caution,
noiselessly scaled the eminence and at
3 O'Clock in the morning dashed in on
the merrymakers. Six of the delin-
quents jumped at quick conclusion
and got away, but the rest were seized
and conducted under strong guard
to the main police station at Lima. In
the morning the twenty-four paid fines
| for their fun.

the finest fellow in the world. He is
going away for two or three months,
and he has asked me TO take care of a
few little things for him. He has Civ

ed Miss Adams. II suppose not, since

menting the spring lock by pushing a
bolt. No sooner had she done This than
she became aware of Il big bundle that
had been concealed by the door when
it vas open. The bundle was done up

in what seemed to be a sheet, the -four
corners being tied together.
AS Aunt Sarah stopped to examine it
she saw a card lying on the floor. She
picked up the card and read the name,
"Philip Hobart"
$50 these are Mr.. Hobart's things"
said Aunt Sarah, land a nice way he
has of sending them around. Tied up
in a sheet! Well, for goodness sake,
what kind of society has poor Marion
got into, l should like to know? Let's
see what Mr.. Hobart has sent"
Aunt Sarah lifted the bundle up on
to a table and united the knots in the
sheet. The contents then revealed
themselves to be a considerable por-
ton Of a gentleman's wardrobe.
There We're half a dozen shirts, a
dress suit, two pairs Of trousers, an
overcoat and some shoes.
Aunt Sarah contemplated this as
sortment, and a red spot appeared in
each of her cheeks. Any one who
knew Aunt Sarah might have seen
that she was angry. Presently she
strobe across the room and gave the
messenger call a twitch that nearly
d%islocated it's machinery.
"The idea Of asking Marion to take
care of this mans old clothes!' she ex-
claimed. 81 never heard Of anything
so monstrous. It's time some of these
crazy artists had a lesson in manners"
A boy appeared promptly in answer
to the call. Aunt Sarah let him in aft
er making him give his word of honor
three times through the door that he
was neither a burglar nor an artist.
"You take this bundle to Mr.. Philip
Hobart" said Aunt Sarah. He lives'-
Il know where he lives," said the
boy. "I've taken messages over there
before"
"From here?"
"Sure!"
"Oh, you have!" said Aunt Sarah.
"Well, l guess this will be the last one.
You tell Mr.. Hobart that Miss Marion
Adams declines to be responsible for
his old clothes and that her aunt, Sa-
rah Adams, from Hatfield, VT, says he
ought to have known better"
The boy rubbed the side Of his head
thoughtfully.
Lies see If I've got it straight" he
said and repeated the message with
great care.

Sarah, and she gave him half a dollar.

He had no sooner gone than Marion
appeared. With the rapidity and di-
rectness of speech characteristic of the
New Englander in earnest Aunt Sarah
related what she had done. Marion
was aghast.
"Oh, aunty," she cried, show could
you? He'll never forgive me. There
must be some explanation. l told you

Aunt Sarah followed her down the

the boy was beyond recall.
So they climbed the stairs again,
Marion in fearful wrath, Aunt Sarah
suffering in sympathy, but sustained
by conscious rectitude.
"You shouldn't have done it without
consulting me-" sobbed Marion as she
%re-entered the studio. "He may be of
Tended and go away without giving me
a chance to explain. l may never see
him again"
Small loss, l should say" rejoined
Aunt Sarah. Still, if you feel so bad

and say it was all my doing. Thank
heaven, my shoulders are broad
enough! Let him come and see me.
I'll give him a piece of my mind"

The air was crisp outside, but the
roomy kitchen was warm and sunny.
Mingled with the grateful heat was
the odor Of sprinkled linen, steaming
under the iron. Linen hung on clothes
horses n on the backs of chairs, and
still the wicker basket underneath the
ironing board groaned with sheets, pill
lowslips, tablecloths and napkins neat
ly piled in soft damp rolls.
Ann Quigley stood at the board iron
ing. AS she ironed she chatted with
her neighbor, Susan Stephens, who had
come in with her knitting from across
the way.
"You don't mind my going right
along with my work, do you?" she ask
ed. Susan SHOOK her head, her lips
being occupied with counting inarticu-
late stitches. "Today's Tuesday, you
know, and the ironing's got to be fin
ished. 1t goes against grain to leave
1t over till Wednesday, for Wednes-
days l bake. Besides, l can work and
talk at the same time"
She Strengthened out a sheet, tested
an ron with the tip of a wet finger and
passed it across, back and forth, this
way and that, sidewise.
"You are a good housekeeper, Ann"
said Susan admiringly. "You are Civ
en- up to be the best h~ousekeeper in
this town. John Quigley got a prize
when he got you. Everybody says so.
Ann stopped snort, resting her hot
iron on the sheet so long that when
