BATTLE OF THE VIRGINS.
ny n S. CANFqELD.

{Copyrighted, 1901, Daily Story Pub. Coz
His name is Manuel BOznaga, though
in Matamoras they still call him a
uel .Hern. oso" in token OF h beauty
that once was his. A dark, dashing,
handsome chap he was, slender of
form and light of step, with a merry
lnok in his black eyes, a world of mus
ic in his voice, nimble fingers on the
guitar of thirty-ive strings and a
grear liking foi the maidens. Ostensi-
bly,, he was a snarer of sea fishes off
the mouth of the turbid Rio Grande.
lie had a boat and nets and he used to
spend many days just where the yell
low waters of the river touched the
blue waters of the gulf. 1t was said
of him, however, that smuggling played
a much larger part in his life's scheme
than pompano, sheepshead, bonitos
and reddish. Be that as it may, he
had plenty of money and plenty of
leisure. He spent much of the former
OH the young women and all of the
latter with them. 1t is not any wonder
that several of them were in love with
him, and a Mexican girl in love is a
serious thing.
They held their bloodless contests
for his favor and exerted all of their
pretty wiles for his capture. Each in
turn was exhilerated and each in turn
was sorrow-stricken, for Manuel not
only understood his value, but he was
tickle and most catholic in his tastes.
Certainly the finest fishes Of his
catch went to tho home of plump
Trinidada Flores, whose forbears came
from the Canary Isles and who made
good wine: but then he bought most
charming gewgaws for slender Candle
laria Garcia and gave them to her
on each feast day. The gossips of
the riveredge part of the town would
have e at a loss to say which of
the maids he would finally take for
his own. even if he had not been heard
more than once playing the guitar
and chanting his tenderest love songs
outside the grated window behind
which Jocosa Yturri looked and list
ened and longed.
To Trinidada it was: "Thou art
adorable. my sweet, and the wine,
though good, lacks the lustre of your
eyes"
To C~andelaria: This ribbon about
your Drown throat receives beauty
from yoc. 1t can not add to that
which already is perfection"
To Jocosa: Quiet maid. with the
quiet smile and the tender lips of
coral, it is thou only who are in my
bosom, safe-locked as in a casket."
This latter sentiment be made into
a song and sang it boldly, not only
under the window, but in the cantina
down by the wharf, the cantina in
which were other fishermen and Mex
leans of the town. 1t came to the ears
of Trinidada and she shrugged her
shoulders and said:
THE rascal. He has stolen my
heart, but NO more of the wine does
he get until he makes me a song that
shall surppass the song to Jocosa." So
when Manuel came next he was thirsty
in vain. He promised to make her a
song, but when he tried he found that
the music would not come, nor the
words, whereat he was much troubled,
not at all understanding that such gift
as was in him did not wake at every
bidding.
Slender Candefaria heard of this
song and ragged like the chapparel cat
she was. Manuel bought her a bottle
of perfumery. She met him with the

trinkets for Candelaria.. but It Is to be
| feared that secretly he was proud Of
it all, because he said to the men in
the catina: This 1t is to be a singer
and brave and beautiful and to be
loved.
At the cathedral that Sunday he wore
his gayest sash and most bespangled
sombrero. He stood at the huge en-
trance behind which the shadows lay
dusky and looked boldly into the faces
of the girls. From Trinidada he got
an angry stare, but neither Candaleria
nor Jocosa so much as glanced at him.
Then he mounted his mule and rode
fifty miles into the interior of the town
of Los Palos, where he remained a day
and a night, talking of crossing bales
of silk and pounds of q~uinine into the
United States.
There had been nothing Of disease in
all the country that year, and it SEEM
ed strange that he should be taken, yet
he came into Matamoras his face a
fiery red and talking to himself. He
went to the house where he slept and
the inmates of it fed at the sight OF
him. His mule wandered about the
streets with the saddle on until an
officer took it. He threw himself upon
bed and his wild shouts came through
the open door until far into the night.
1t was good of the old doctor to go
to him, but no one supposed that any
good could be done because they knew
that the delirium of smallpox was up
on Manuel, and, since he had ridden
far in the sum-, they believed that he
vas doomed to the grave.
Medicines are of little AVAIL said the
doctor. What the man needs is nursing.
but who is here to nurse him? The case
is continent of the worst type. If he lives
he will break no more hearts"
Trinidada. giving a glass of wine to Jose
Valdes, the carreta man. said that it
served him right. He was of the hand-
some face, it is true, and of the beautiful
voice, but he was not so finely built nor
so strong as thou, jose" In the dim re-
cesses of the cathedral, on the rough
| stones, a slender form knelt, clothed in
| black. 1t was Candelaria praying for for
| giveness of her sin and mercy for the soul
of the man she had almost learned tc
hate.
The doctor came from the room with al.
most a smile next day. THE smuggling
| ~scoundrel has a nurse he said. "Jocosa
is in there. Strange what fools these wo'
men are Then he went down the street
wiping his spectacles.
1t was a long battle with death and
loathsome disease, and a wreck of a mar
tottered into the sunshine one day, lean
ing upon a girls weak arm. From CHR
to hair the face was scanned with scarlet
the eyes bleared, the voice a weak quaver
1T is good to be in the air again." ht
said. Thou hast been all in all to me
Jocosa, but you must leave me now. i
is not seemly that o stay. Tongue:
will wag, although L am so marred."
81 will never leave you," she replied
until you bid me-"
Go, then, and when my strength is
with me 1 will come for you. May the
Holy Virgin have in her keeping
brave Jocoza."
They are going through life together
the man with the SCARED face, the woman
with the SCARED hand, while Trinidada
pours her wine for new corners and the
heart of Candelaria seems a flame that
burns her.

pain in my back, generally of a
dull, heavy nature, was located just
over the Kidneys. When / attempt
ed to do any lifting or STOPPING,
sharp twinges shot through me,
and | was often so bad that | could
scarcely get around. In getting up
and around | often had to observe
the greatest are unless I wished to
incur ex~cruciating pangs. l felt
pretty well otherwise. only I could
not twist my back. Both of my
sons had been complaining Of their
backs hurting them, and when I
got a box of Doan's kidney Pills
at the Logan Drug Co.'S they also
took some, and in each of our cases
the result was the same The pain
I left almost at once. Our backs felt
stronger. and more robust. We
can honestly recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills to anyone suffering

Diplomacy IS a fine art, and In It's

In reality serving we'll their countries.

The Value of Butter.

Butter is so common commodity
that people use It and scarcely ever
think what wonderful value lies at
their hand In the pats Of dainty yellow
cream fat. OF course they know that it
is useful in many branches of cookery
and that without its aid the tea table
would be bare of It's thinly rolled bread
and butter It's delicate cakelets and Its
other usual accessories. Beyond these
uses the value of butter IS a thing only
vaguely thought Of But this delicate
fat is as valuable as the dearer cod liy
or oil for weakly, thin people, and doc
tors have frequently recommended the
eating of many slices of thin bread

Of pleasantly taking into the bodily It's

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.
The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.

The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either a fatal onset of
pneumonia, or complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is preven-
ton. By wearing BefSon's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) you are
safe from grip.
