BETTER, THANK YOU.

That decided reaction in bust
ness circles has set in in Florence
is fact so patent that even strang-
ers remark the change that has
come about in the past two months.
There were a few weeks when
spirit of depression settled on the
town, and it was felt by every bust
ness man. Real estate men MOTTO
ed it, contractors and builders were
alarmed, and merchants felt it.
But this continued but compare
lively short time. The fear that
the town was about to suffer from
a calamity began to lessen, and
gradually il was succeeded by re-
newed hope. This hope was con
frmed by the sound of trowel and
hammer, and now 1T looks as if
Florence is about blossoming into
newness of life and beginning an era
of growth and commercial activi-
ty far ahead of what she has known
since her palmiest days of the
boom.
There are several natural reasons
for this There is a growing ten
dency toward reunion of oppos-
ing factions. Men are beginning
to realize that a continuance of in
ternal strife is suicidal policy,
and the time is not far distant when
there will be more of spirit of
harmony in the important matters
pertaining to the welfare of Flor
ence The fact that some of the
reduction works are being enlarg-
ed and their capacity increased,
thus providing for the employment
of more labor is point in favor
of the town and brings encourage
ment to it's people. The contem-
plated erection of cement works
which seems to be an assured fact,
and which when completed will
give employment to at least fifty
men, is factor that enters into
the cause of this renewed conf
dence.
These alone are enough to es-
tablish the reputation of Florence
as having only the brightest pros
poets for the future. But there is
still another and more important |
reason for faith in our town. As
yet it is not all made public, but
if you could get into the inside
you would hear such words as
Cripple Creek, STANDARD gauge,
and "smelter' mentioned. These
have significance which can be
without any great
stretch of imagination, and they
act as buoys to those who hear
them.
Florence has been for years and
will continue to be the best town
in Southern Colorado. Men who
are building business houses and
believe it. Men who
ire investing money in improve
nents believe it. The public be-
ieves it. 1t is true.

J During the year after the landing Of
Eortez in Mexico, Amador de Leste, a
young Spanish nebieman, arrives at Vera
Cruz and learns that the Knight Calavar
of whom he is in search, is with Cortez.
He makes his way to him in company
with a STRIPPING secretary, sent with him
by Admiral Cavallero. In the cayalcade
are Moorish prisoner and his boy whom
Amador defends from assault by an officer,

Narvaez, Amador asks To be passed on to

CHAPTER MI.

In the facility with which the aborigi-
nal empires of America were suhverted
by handful of hot-i,eaded Spaniards
mankind has been willing to find proof
of the savage imperfection of their insti-
tutions. In the case OF Mexico, at least,
this testimony is deceptive. If we re-
member that the tribes of Anahuac, like
the other races of America, were strug-
Cling against obstacles which did not inn
pede the advancement Of other nations,
we shall be surprised at the point of
civilization til haG reached.
The Mexicans could already record and
perpetuate their discoveries. Without the
aid OF iron and domestic animals, they
were advancing in refinement. CiviliEa-
ton had daxned, and was shedding a
light, constantly augmenting, over their
valleys; and, apart from these deficien
cles, saving, only perhaps, additionally
I'm the article N religion, which was not
yet purgad Of its denominations fand which
perhaps flung more annual victims on the
affairs than did, in after days, even the
superstition oi their conquerOrs in Spain }
the Mexican eEzpire was not far behind
some OF the rloifarchies of Europe in that
method, purpose, and stability of iaSti-
buttons, both political and domestic,
which are esteemed the evidences OF civil
ization.
A moral epidemic nerved the arm of the
Invaders, another paralyzed the strength
of the invaded Superstition covered the
Spaniard with armor stronger than his
iron mail, and left the Mexican naked and
defenseiess; and, in addition, the disease
OF disafection, creeping from the extremi-
ties TO the center OF the empire, added it's
weight To the lethargy of religious fear.
When fernando Cortez set out on his
march the second time against Tenoch-
titan, believing that God had chosen him
TO be scourge TO the misbeliever, he
knew well that thousands and tens of
thousands OF malecontents were burning

hostile elements, an union Of tribes an
states subdued and cOnioined by the am

| written in letters few and obscure
The heart of the leader was bold, thu
spirits of his confederates full of resolution
and hope; and Notwithstanding the evl
intelligence that their victims were wax
ening to a knowledge of their strength
and confirming their audacity in the blooe
they had already shed, the united fol
lowers of Narvaez and fernando Corte1
began their march over the mountains
with alacrity and joy.
Over this rugged region it was not pos
sible to drag the ordnance and heavy
stores, with which Cortez was now abun-
dainty provided, without much labor and
delay; and it was not until about the
time of the Summer Solstice, more than a
month after the fall of Zempoala, that, al
the close of a pleasant day, the new in
vaders laid their eyes for the first time
on Tia scala,-the Capital of that war
Ike republic, which, for the singular OBJ
ject, as certain historians have cOniec-
tured, of preserving an enemy to exercise
their armies, as well as TO furnish victims
for their gods, the Mexican monarchs per
mitted to subsist in the heart of their
empire.
The slowness of their march was pro-
ductive of many advantages to those par
ticular individuals whose adventures il
is the object of this history to record. II
gave to Don Amador an opportunity to
make the acquaintance of many of his
new companions, among whom were some
not unworthy his friendship.
But to none OF them did his spirit turn
with so much confidence and affection as
to Don Francisco de Morla, a young hi
dalgo of his own native town, greatly be
loved throughout the army as a man OF
honor and tried courage. In this cavalier
modest carriage was united to great
gaiety of disposition, and a warm heart
governed by gentleneSS OF temper.
The effects of this delay on the knigh,
of Ithodes were equally beneficial, though
differently wrought. The paroxysms OF
lethargy, rs well as the fits of distraction
which, as Don AmadOr learned from the
faithful Marco, had been many and un-
governable, whenever the excitement OF
battle was over, began to vaai IN under
the interest of the society, and the in
fiuence of the careful government of the
neophyte; who, from long acquaintance
with his kinsman's eccentricities, had
acquired power to sOethe them.
Now Cortez had refused to give the
Moorish prisoners to the sailor claim
ing them, and the boy was put in the
care of Calavar. The sorrows of Jacinto
vanished with the capriciousness of child
hood; and perceiving that, in the long
and toilsome march, he was never so far
separated from his father that he might
not look to see him at nightfall, he
quickly recovered his spirits. Then, as
if to express his gratitude to the good
knight who protected him, he studied
with wonderful diligence and address,
how best to please and divert him.
With a thousand pretty stories, chosen
with such discretion and prattled with
such eloquence, as often surprised the
neophyte; with countless songs. viii, h
no one could sing with more sweetness
or accompany with more skill on the
lutte, he would seduce the knight from
his gloom, and cheat him out of his mel

their hands to us asrwe enter their city.
For my part, tEink'4he4I rogues to love
us, their truest enemies, better than their
domestic rivals, the people of Tenoch-
titan. Wo betide them Uho help us 10
conquer their foes when, their foes are
conquered"
AS De Morla spoke, Doh Amador found
himself entering the city of Tlascala.
Twilight had darkenep over the hills, and
in the obscurity for the moon had not
yet risen, he perceived Tong masses OF
houses, not very lofty, but strong, on the
terraced roofs of which stood many hui
man beings, chiefly women and children,
who waved a multitude Of torches, and,
| as they sung what De Morla told him
were songs of welcome, threw flowers
down upon their guests. FIambeaux
were also carried before them in the
streets; and with this sort OF pomp, they
were uslered to a great building with ex-
tensive courts, sufficient to lodge the
whole army, which was assigned them
Tor their quarters.
While the cannOneerS were arranging
the artillery, the officers of the guard
choosing their watchmen, and prepare
tons were made to hold conference with
the chiefs of the republic, the neophyt tie
was invited by De Morla to accompany
him to a pyramid on one of the four hills,
whence, as he assured him, was noble
prospect of those huge mountains which
separated them from the valley OF Tenoch
titan.
Don Amador looked about him for his
kinsman. He had retired with the Chap
lain of the army, in some sudden disorder
OF spirit, for prayer or confession; and
Don AmadOr sighed, as he bethought him
that yearly, about the time of Midsum-
mer, the knights disease seemed to reach
its intensest point.
The two cavaliers, followed by the page
bearing torch, as well as his lutte, strobe
through the streets, which were still
thrOnged with their savage allies, as in a
gala-day, singing and shouting; many OF
whom, from affection or curiosity, seemed
disposed to add themselves to the little
party. Nevertheless, such inauisitive in
oividuals were easily repealed by De Morla
pointing in the direction he was pursuing,
and pronouncing few words in their
language, the effect OF which, as Don
Aaador observed, was always to check
their ardor, and cover their visages, when
these could be seen, with sadness and
awe.
