should be so active. The hair of the
man before him was short, thick, and
black as night, and he had no beard
at all.
Meanwhile, the stranger had man
aged to sit. mp, and was wiping the
blood from bad cut on his forehead.
In doing so, he discovered the loss of
his false hair and beard, and met
Harry's eyes fixed wonderingly upon
him.
WELL" asked he, fiercely, answer
ing the boys glance with a defiant
stare, do you know me?"
"No, and | don't want to know you,"
said Harry, in broken Spanish, rather
nettled at the mans imperious tone.
81 suppose you're a smuggler by your
Disgusting yourself that way"
"Yes, am" replied the other, with
strange smile "Are you going to
give me up to the police?"
"Not II" cried Harry. TITS not the
style of us Americans TO give away
man who can't stand up for him
self"
"Ah. you're an American, then?"
said the smuggler, looking euriously
at him. "Well, if you are willing to
help me, III tell you how you can do
| 1t. Give me your arm as far as the
chapel of st. James, about half a mile
down the road-for / find T've sprained
my ankle too badly to walk alone-and
then I'm all right"
"Come along, then" rejoined HOr
ry, offering his arm.
And the strangely assorted pair set
forth.
On the way our hero told his new
friend, who seemed in too much pain
to talk himself, that he was travelling
through Spain with his father, that
he had picked up in Mexico what little
Spanish he knew; that his tour had
hitherto been provolingly bare of ad-
ventures, and that the one thing in
the world which he most desired was
to fall in with gang of real Spanish
brigands.
At last they reached the chapel, and
then, at a peculiar whistle from the
smuggler, five wild looking horsemen
with long guns on their shoulders
started out of the eneircling thickets
one of whom led by the bride a fine
black horse, on, which they at once
mounted the crippled spaniard, not
without casting more than one puz
zled and suspicious look at the won
dering boy.
'Srake this for your good deed,

h1T1 HEY call Spain the land Of ad-
venture" muttered Harry
White, as he strolled before breakfast
around the outskirts of a small Span
ish town on the southern slope of the
Sierra Morena; "and I've been in IL
three weeks, and not had one adyen-
ture yet. A man gets no show at all
in travelling nowadays. Hellol here
comes somebody in a hurryl"
Very much in a hurry, certainly,
seemed the sturdy Spanish peasant
who had just appeared on the top of
the steep ridge above the boys head,
for he was Ieaping from crag to crag
as recklessly as a wildcat, and at times
even swinging himself over some deep
cleft by the bough of a tree, as il in
such haste that he had no time to
think of such n trihe as the chance of
a broken neck.
But in this case it was "most haste,
worst speed" for all at once large
stone gave way beneath the Span
ard's feet, and he came tumbling
headlong down into the road amid a
whirlwind of dust.
Harry-whose sympathies were al
ready enlisted iif favor of a man cap
able of such feats of strength and
daring-few to the spot, feeling as If
he had really met with something
like an "adventure"at last. But when
he reached the fallen man he stopped
short in sheer amazement.
And well he might. The man whom
he had seen bounding along the ridge
had had long gray hair and beard;
he was quite sure of that for he re-
membered wondering that an old man

J slt alone with my heart tonight
Where the gloom Is dark and deep,
Across the portals the shadows fall,
And here with my grief I weep;
But over my sad hearts darkness
Steals a radiance rich and rare,
For long ago, when a child al play,
hid a sunbeam there.
The harp is silent. the chords are dead
Whose music was all too fleet,
And listen IN vain for the silver strain
That made my life complete;
But long ago, when care-free child,
with no thought Of sadder things,

And there Il sings and sings.
The garlands are faded and old and scar,
And the laurels that came with the years
Have gone with the dreams and the per-
ished hopes
buried them all with tears;
But out in the garden OF my soul
The roses bloom so fair,
For long ago, when a little child
planted a rose tree there

Arbitrary Dogmns Take the Place Of
Logical Basis Among
ue1fcvera

On the belief in luck have augurs,
divinators, fortune tellers, all traded
from time immemorial 20 the pres
ent age, says Chambers Journal. They
calculate" the incalcu.able. and, nee
essarily, arbitrary dogmas take the
place of logical basis on which TO work
out their schemes. They rely on the
luck of odd numbers; in them the i'm
perial phantom-either in birth or
chance or death-loves to reside. Sew
en- has always been q number to com
jure with, and the se,enth child of a
seventh child born in the seventh
month comes clad ina mysterious pam
oply of forelSnowledge absolute; while
nine was at one place osd period looked
upon as a symbol of Deity. Great men
will have their lucky day or month,
as one of the Caesars gave his name
to the eighth month-that in which
the most fortunate events Of his life
had occurred. The blood of a great
family, like that Of the Stuarts or the
Bourbons, for instance, is said to carry
with it, even in its collateral branches,
the faint of that ill-success, ill-health.
which is summed up as ill-luck. Ce'
tain gems, such, for instance, as opaiS
are esteemed as stones of in-omen-
talismans reversed. tits not. of course,
that their beauty is brittle, but that
they carry with them ill-luck to their
wearers or owners. The truth of this
superstition is demonstrated by the
violent deaths which have befallen un-
lucky opal wearers. Have they not
succumbed to the ill-luck attending a
gem, to gain possession of which a
fellow-creature has not hesitated to
shed their blood? No doubt it is very
nnlucky to awaken the covetousness
Of a robber and a murderer.

The Danville IVA. Daily Reg

A large audience greeted the play

enthusiasm throughout the per-

The opening nights bill was
BY the Kings Command" a
French comedy-drama that, while
cast on the old lines, sustains the
interest of the audience easily,
and received a very smooth and
clever Interpretation last evening.
The scenic accessories were not
ably good, the costumes hand
some, and the cast very even and
quite capable. Mr.. Spooner, in
the role of Isadore,'' baker.
had the leading comedy role, dem
onstrated his cleverness and YER
satility as an entertainer and
made a hit with the audience.
The company received and de-
served the favor and approval of
the audience.
A feature of the performance
was the speciality work which was
unusually good. Miss Annie
Spooner sings catchy songs very
catchily, and her serpentine and
kaleidoscope dances are novel and
beautiful. Mr.. Spooner's comic
songs brought forth clamorous re-
calls from his audience, and there's
no telling when they would have
wearied of hearing had he con-
tinued to respond. Illustrated
song by Miss Spooner was another
feature.
The Spooner Dramatic company
will appear at Capital Theatre all
next week.

THE GRAND CoNCLAvE.

The Triennial- Grand Conclave
of Knights TemplaT of the United
States was held at Louisville this
week, and was a success from start
to finish.
The parade on Tuesday was SIM
ply superb. The weather, which
had been rainy and dismal, during
the early morning, cleared off
beautifully; and, by the time for
the parade TO form, was all that
could be asked for. and the streets
had been thoroughly cleaned by
the down-pour.
1t is estimated that there were
at least $1,000 plumed knights in
the procession, which took about
four hours to pass the reviewing
stand.
There were knights present from
all parts of the country, and it
was gala time for ALL.
The generous rivalry between
different cities for the holding of
the next Conclave was spirited
but friendly.
Louisville and the Kentucky con-
tingent laid themselves out to en-
terrain their guests, and they did
it royalty.
