The Brokers' Reply.

A youthful looking broker went Into
n Broadway store the other day to buy
a new hat. and laid his old one on the
counter while waiting for the clerk to
walt upon him. He happened to turn
around as Quaker came in In the
garb unusual even In this cosmopolitan
city. and smiled involuntarily at the
odd sight. The Quaker took the bro
ker for a salesman. and. taking OF his
broad hat held 1t out to the young
man, saying:
Hast thou hat like this. my

No" replied the broker. "and II ]

Then. noticing the look of surprise on
the face OF the grave old Quaker. he
explained that he dealt In stocks, not

The Great Presidential Cam.
pdign of 1900.

The policies Of the great political
parties are now being formed and the
candidates discussed. The voice of
the people as recorded by ballot at the
approaching Presidential election
will probably decide the policy OF the
nation for the next decade. Every
citizen must study the great questions
that are to come before the people.
This can only be done through the
medium OF a great newspaper. Now
is the time, therefore, for every voter
to subscribe for the best and most re-
liable newspaper obtainable. The
Semi Weekly Republic covers the
whole field Of political news. While
it is Democratic, it publishes the
news in regard to all political parties
without prejudice. Its telegraphic
and cable news service is superior to
that Of any other paper. Its special
features are the best. In fact, 1t is
the paper for that large class OF read
ers who cannot afford or do not have
access to the daily papers.
Attention is also called to the Re-
public's Sunday Magazine. Its half
tone illustrations are alone worth the
subscription price. 1t is made up Of
special articles by the best literary
talent, embracing variety of sub
jects Of current issue. News features
Of absorbing interest are illustrated
and enlarged upon. For the benefit
OF the ladies the latest fashions are
handsomely illustrated. The Repub-
lie Sunday Magazine is always inter-
esting 10 every member OF the family.
The subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Republic is s1.O0 per year.
The Republic Sunday Magazine sl.25
per year. Both papers are now being
offered at the very low price of sl.5O
for one year. To secure this low rate
both must be ordered and paid for at
the same time.

CHAPTER TX.

I had determined to lose no time in attempting to see the document in Fray 1gnacio's box, and. as it proved. the dinner party helped me materially. Bartolomeo ard the other priests dropped in upon us before the close of the meal, and were prevailed upon to spend the evening. Whether my liking for the senorita had at that time awak- ened a reciprocal feeling, 1 didn't know; but she seemed aware of my de- sire to get the padres in a happy frame of mind, and aided me in every way she could. ordering Pepe to bring bottles, and more bottles. for the delectation of the company. Palm brandy, or aguardiente, is the only brand known in the Ladrones, and that seldom ap- pears upon gentleman's table. But light wines, and, for stronger heads, rum and water, are freely indulged in. The result is rarely drunkenness; the stuff doesn't act that way in warm eli mates. But for earay-drooping eyelids and dreamless sleep that works like anaesthetics, give me two bottles of Spanish wine that have made the voy- age to Manila or Guajan. The padres were built upon the cistern principle. all of them; but they were practically asleep before II, at which time they accepted the colonel's hospitality and fell to snoring peacefully upon the floor or the rattan sofas, wherever they happened 10 drop.

 This was my opportunity. Calculat- ing that he wouldn't dare raise his eyes for several moments. no matter what strange noises echoed through the church, I slipped around through the postern and succeeded in restor- ing to Padre Bartolomeo's snoring torso his bunch of keys without being

 The senorita seemed 10 have perfect confidence in my seamanship and was evidently glad of such an opportunity to ask questions. As we skinned along the blue water I satisfied her curiosity regarding American women and gave radical opinions on men Of various nationalities - chief among which was a caution against believing what any man said 10 her unless she knew him very well. because they were

not all truthful and honorable like my self. I wonder how many men have solemnly worked this gray-bearded old warning on girls whose society they selfishly wished 10 monopolize. And also wonder what curious train of thought must run through wom- ans mind when she hears 1t from the hundredth man.
 It Is unnecessary to detail the pro gressive steps by which our talk be- came more confidential. or to describe the periods of satisfactory silence when we foated along in deliciousidle- ness under shortened sail. the north east trade wind gently flaming our checks and the cottony clouds reflect ed in the broad Pacific. We two were alone between sky and water. and tho island was mere bank upon the hori- zon. Under such circumstances 1t is exceedingly difficult to keep ones thoughts from showing in the face, and I began to feel that could trust this girl as had never trusted a wom- an before.
 She knew that had some interior object in remaining at Agana, and her manner led me to believe that she would further it as far as lay in her power, at least while showed a pref. erence for her society over that of other women. This wasn't expressed in so many words. but she confessed to the knowledge that I had left the house on some adventure during the night. and to an impression that l wanted the padre out of the way though her surmising went no fur ther than that.
 We had taken lunch with us so 1t was we'll toward evening when We re- turned. to find the town in commo- ton over the strange and terrible miracle which had been witnessed by lay-brother Felipe. I've often thought that was an innocent means of giv- ing the Holy Roman churchE deeper root in the Ladrones than it ever had before. Even Padre Bartolomeo. who was too willy bird. and too well edu- cated. to be fooled by an ordinary everyday miracle, was a good deal shaken up by the lay brothers yarn. His superior learning had fostered laxity in his principles, an impression that he could drink and gamble with impunity: but after thorough exam nation of the chancel. together with unarailing cross questioning of ms entranced associate. he began 10 won der if there were not rsore things m Heaven and earth than were droamt or in his philosophy.
