Castelar, a Newspaper Man.

Cadiz Correspondence Chicago Rec
ord: The late ex-president of Spain,
Emilio CASTELAR,, was newspaper man
all his life, and after he had practi-
cally retired from political life his
literary labors kept him alive in the
esteem of his countrymen. Yet his
conspicuous work as journalist, no
less than as man of affairs, was done
during the third quarter of century.
In the '60s, when CASTELAR, had become
famous by his share in the meeting OF
the Seatro Real, where Gonzales Bravo,
the master of oratory, marked him as
the rising leader of the young democ-
racy, he wrote his first article for Ell
Tribune. He dissolved his connection
with that journal when it sought to
brand him as a monarchist. La So
berania Nacional, on the other hand,
he abandoned because it was too radi-
cal. Then he Joined the staff Of Dis
cussion, resigning his position in 1864
to found the short-lived Democracia,
which he published and edited for two
years.

CHAPTER x.

On this warm afternoon, as she lay
in the hammock, she was thinking 1t
all over and wondering where Valdane
was, and what or who was keeping
him from her. She was thinking, too,
of the open admiration in Demands
fine eyes the night before as he leaned
over her piano. .
/ No doubt he was handsome. She
thought she could win him; would 1t
not be madness-utter madness-to let
him go for the sake of man who had
never in so many words told her that
he loved her, and whom, if she married
at all, she would have to marry with
out her fathers consent?
A footstep brushed on the grass.
Lady Mildred half rose. Bernard was
there, looking admiringly down at her.
"Mr. SIZZLING! I thought you were
shooting"
81 was, but when I found the picnic
party had arrived without you, I gave
them the slip, and meanly sneaked
home through the woods, hoping to
have the luck to discover your retreat.
Fortune favors the brave, they say.
1 would not have missed a sight of you
here for worlds!"
"Mr. Stelling! 1t was very foolish Of
| you to lose all the sport" .
$50 long as you don't add that it's
very impertinent Of me to intrude I'm
content! Your pose is really perfect.
| I used to be able to sketch little.
Would you lie still for ten minutes
while try my hand?"
ooh, nonsense"
"No nonsense at all oh, you won't
| be so unmerciful as to move. Do let
me have five minutes" He had taken
out a small book and leaning against
the smooth trunk of beech, was
sketching rapidly.
There! That fan fits in well-we
will call the picture "A Summer Day.
Keep your hand and arm still for a
minute. please! Do I weary your"
"No'-she was half laughing-'T am
too comfortable. You can't have done
anything in so short a time"
Gust enough for remembrance, +"
he said. you keep so still. My sis
ter and her friend, Miss Lilbourne, al
ways fidget so dreadfully; l shall tell
them to follow your good example"

"Certainly, but please don't lose 1t"
He fingered simply because he coaio
not tear himself away, though ne coulu
see in every dropping movement tnat
she was exhausted and unhappy anu
wished to be alone.
He would have battered all MS pros
meets for the privilege Of taking her IN
his arms and soothing her-of holding
her to hs heart, and telling her that
henceforth nothing should ever grieve
+ her He held out his hand at last re-
luctantly.
SIS there nothing more that l can
do for your" he asked. ..t,
mo. there is nothing" she replieo'
shaking her head and smiling. you
are so kind, / don't know how to thank
YOU sufficiently for your kindness.
I 1t seemed a painful wrench when ne
loosed the little fingers from his own

followed him to the door, left my

I nearly forgot to mention 1t to you
Did you see it,"
"I did" he stammered. at Is qui'e
safe-you shall have it; have 1t safe,
he reiterated in confusion; but
can't give it to you now.
How could he. when it was hung
from his neck by slender cord?

When Bernard arrived that evening,
Lady. Mildred received him alone. It
was chilly and she had fire kindled
in the drawing-room. She sat on
very low chair, red glow over her
crimson draperies and golden hair.
She greeted the young man with
pretty mixture Of cordiality and shy
ness. She made him sit opposite to
her in chair which was the ideal OF
comfort, and apologized prettily for the
fact that none of the men were in yet,
and all the girls were dressing. She
gave him cup Of tea from tiny table
near, and insisted that he was hungry
after his long journey, and must eat
some tea-cake, which she lifted from
