the Donna Annals peonies.
I'm sort o pervadin' about the plaza
when the Donna Anna rides up. Thar's an
old she-wolf with her. whose name is Mag

ST. Looey a connoshur of female loneliness.
an It's a pity now that some gifted gent
like Doc Poets yere don't see this Donna
Anna tina time. SOS he could draw you her
picture verbal. All I'm able to state is that
she's as beautiful as a cactus flower. an
as vivid. She's tall an strong for II MexI-

deep an black like a deer's. She's sliorely
a lovely miracle, the Donna Anna is: an as

ponies. Its coat is soft an shiny like this
yere watered silk. while its name an tail Is
braided with a hundred little silver bells.
The Donna Anna is dressed half Mexican
an half Injun. an thar's likewise a row OF
bells about the wide brim OF her Chihuahua
hat. On her back she's slung a Mexican
guitar.
'Thar's mebby a half dozen OF us stand

Is not abashed. She waves her hand an
says. How! howl" Injun fashion. an gives
us a white flash Of teeth between her red
lips. Then a band of nuns comes out of a
little convent. which is one OF the public
improvements of the Plaza Perdita, an
they rounds UP the Donna Anna an the
wrinkled Magdalena an takes 'em into
camp. The Donna Anna an the other stays
mebby it's a week. an they're camped in
the convent doorin' the visit. No, they're
not locked up nor guarded, an the Donna
Anna comes an goes in an out of that
convent as free as birds. The nuns. too.

Mr.. Hagenbeck laughed. ''welI. I usually

said. I'm my park in Hamburg / keep a

turn showed the reserve had shrunk to over
million added TO the knowledge that the majority
of the gold engaged in New-York would be sent TO

The likelihood OF dear money in New-York. In
consequence OF the stock speculation, en-
failing the possibility OF a stoppage OF gold ex-

London market will be strengthened appreciably
by gold imports from there. Under the conditions
prevailing at New-York and Paris 1t is not likely
the Bank will take the responsibility OF reducing
the rate by causing further decline in the
money value in London the demand for gold In
Paris would be stimulated The possible decline in
American exchange is accentuated by the expected
arrival OF 100000 of Japanese gold. which is said to
have been secured by the Bank OF Germany by
means OF free advances. thus increasing the
plethora of money in Berlin.
