It was reported early In September.
1893, that Senior Enrique Ibarreta and
his men had mysteriously- disappeared
while exploring the Pllcomayo River.
In north Argentina, one Of the longest
81 the second-class streams Of South
America. There was little doubt that
they have. been massacred by the In
aians, who for 40 years past have
defeated the attempts made by a con-
siderable number Of explorers to ex-
plore this stream. A little later the
bare fact was published that there
was no longer any doubt of the a
sacre Of the party, but no details OF
the tragedy had been obtained. Then
a report reached Buenos Ayres that
[barreta and a part OF his expedition
were probably still alive. This. report
led to the sending of an expedition
under the command of Senior Uriarte
to rescue the explorers If they could be
found. The relief expedition has re-
Gently returned to Buenos Ayres with
evidence that leaves no doubt that the
entire party was killed by the hostile
Indians of the northern part Of Ar
gentina. In the depths of the Chaco
forests, near a place called Esteros de
Patino, Uriarte found the camp Of
Ibarreta. Strewn all around were the
camp utensils and equipment, most Of
1t rendered useless by the weapons Of
the Indians, who had destroyed prac-
tically everything which they could
not utilize. Even the voluminous
notes which Ibarreta had made upon
the work he vas doing from day to
day were torn to pieces and scattered
to the winds. A considerable number
of these. fragments were recovered and!
they supplied undoubted proof Of hav.

plorer. Many Photographic negatives
he had made were also found. Not a
trace, however, of any of the party
could be discovered. 1t is believed the

dams and that after the whites were
killed their bodies were dragged away
and concealed in order, If possible, to
destroy any direct evidence o: their
having met q violent death. It Is nat.

Then, of Course, You Wish Then to
BE Wen Bred-Some Things They
Should Be Taught.
Little children should be taught not
to; sit sideways or on h edges of
chairs, or to lean back in them, or to
put their elbows on the table.
They should not be permitted to play
with bread or stray silver, and should
be taught to wipe their little mouths
both before and after drinking, and not
to drink until they have swallowed
what they may be eating.
Do not allow the little, ones to turn
up their glasses or mugs to their noses
while drinking.
Show them how to break a potato
with a fork; how to carry a fork to-
the mouth. Teach them to take soup
quietly from the side Of the spoon.
Watch them and e that they do
not put their spoons and forks too far"
into their mouths, and that they do not
crowd the mouth with food. +
Little children are great mimics, and
after they have. been once properly
trained in table manners, commit few
er breaches Of etiquette than their eld-
ers.-Home Chat.

vor the other way" he remarked.
Perhaps" said the consul grimly.
Time passed. So things drifted and
at last Wainwright enclosed q news
paper clipping in an envelope and adj
dressed it to Isabel. It was the an
nouncement Of his WI marriage. He
felt the woman despised him, and at
the time he prayed she would.
The years passed and with them
the wife, but the love look was ever on
her face, for no action Of Wainwright's
had disabused her mind Of the belief
that she was all to him. Finally, his
stern sense of duty satisfied. he sought
the world again. He met Isabel then
The ever-ready Frenchman pursed
his lips incredulously. Il
"And she still loved him." he in
quired.
"That I never knew" was the an
swer.
There vas an u~nmistakeable some
thing always between them-their re-
lations were those Of strangers and
he could never close the breach. He
longed to tell her what his life had
been; as a woman who knew the world
he felt she would forgive him, and II
she forgave him, might she not love
him?"
Once again the E,renchman leaned
forward.
HE should have told her the story.
He should have asked for her love-"
he said emphatically.
The consul-general raised his eyes
from the wine glass in his fingers. and
his glance shot piercingly across the
table. .t
"He has done BOTH" he replied, Civ
ing the signal to arise.
Later, when most Of the guests had
sought cooler, more secluded spots un-
der the banyans and palms of the lawn,
a solitary black-gowned figure leaned
indolently against q pillar Of the YER
anda. Despite the naughty uplifting Of
her head the brilliant oriental night
could not hide the sorrowfully droop-
ing mouth. and her hand trembled
visibly against the railing as the con-
sui appeared within the doorway.
He stood there a moment-a noble
and impressive figure. then walked
slowly towards her.
Isabel" he said, softly. my story
awaits its ending"
She was silent, and the sad note Of
a night-bird came softly from a far
OF tree.
Again he spoke and every word was
subtle pleading.
ut has been SO long-so long with
out you, my love-" he whispered.
Her hand dropped and fell against
his own.

", Her face was turned from him, but
he placed his hand upon her forehead.
and drawing her head gently back
wards till 1t rested or his heart, he
kissed her on the lips.

'Quite right" he vouchsafed. Even q

For a moment the Honorable MI.
Carter was silent. Outside came the
swish Of oars in the adjacent river and
the strain Of a song borne on the mel
low, dangerous air.
The woman in the black gown, who
sat directly opposite him, had dropped
her handkerchief, and when she re-
gained it he again took up the thread.
"In a short time Wainwright's father
died, and the lad left college never to
return. He went back to that distaste-
full village, commenced his life where
he had left it of and found that every
thing was changed, that nothing could
be the same again. The blue eyes, the
sympathetic hand-touch, the tender
voice were nothing to him now, and
yet hating to pain n who so loved
him, he could not bring himself to

contemptuously.

Dinner was being served at the
bungalow Of the consul-general al
Bankok.
The omnipresent punkab waved
noiselessly overhead. cooling the even
ing air. which was heavy with the
'odor of the lotus flowers. The guests
conversed gaily in languages foreign to
their own, for a fluent tongue Is essen
ttal to friendships In Siam.
The men, and the women, too, with
one exception were dressed in spot
less white. This exception proved to
be the most beautiful woman in the
room. Perhaps. as she had passed the
heydey Of her youth, she considered
her black gown as more appropriate,
and the fact that the absolute purity OF
her skin shone with exquisite beauty
against that gown was beyond argu-
ment.
There wa q lull in the conversation.
"Apropos of your last remark on the
duty Of a man toward a woman who
loves him." said the Honorable Raleigh
Carter, as he turned to a member of
the French legation On his left. II

story well-a rare accomplishment.

Harvard. He went there, fresh from a

goodness written on his face, and a
power to gain friends that was envied
him by many. He was so much in
earnest in everything he did his at

"At one of these he met the sweet

ever imagined. She was the sister Of
his roommate, and through him the
intimacy ripened.

feet of the change in rate yesterday af- ternoon and he said: "The reduction of rate, in my opinion. will not hurt the in surance people; in fact. we may do more business by it. You see when the prop erty owner gets the reduction in rate." explained Captain Smith, The will be re- quired to insure for at least three-fourths value and may insure for full value if he so desires. Under the present basis a property owner can insure for any amount up to three-fourths value. but cannot insure for any amount beyond. That this new rule will work a ha> lship to many but will be a great blessing to many more. For instance. the wholesale grocers and the hardware men have been accustomed to insuring for not more than forty per cent of the value of their property. When these men are forced to insure up to three-quarter mark I am afraid they will kick On the other hand the dry goods merchants can insure full value, something they have wanted to do for long time.
 Taking 1t all in all, don't believe the reduction will be very harmful to the insurance companies. Of course 1t will lessen the amount of the premiums but with the increase of business think the difference will be made up"

H. M. Tanner special agent of the southeastern Tariff Association, came to Birmingham yesterday and will today be- gin an inspection of the improvements in the fire department. After the inspec- tion MT. Tanner will then begin revi- sion of the insurance rates, and if he finds everything in satisfactory Undition the property owners of Birmingham will be given lower rates of insurance and the city placed on a first class basis.
 MT. Tanner comes here according to the agreement between Mayor Drennen and Secretary Fleming of the Southeast ern Tariff Association, and from re- cent letter written by MT. Fleming. the new rate of insurance will depend upon his report of conditions in this city.
 Flew persons seem to understand the difference between first class insurance basis and second class basis" said a prominent insurance agent yesterday, ''or rather few of them seem to know exactly what the difference in rates will be. The change to first class basis." he ex- plained, means a reduction in rates from 45 to 50 cents on the s1O0-an im- mense saving to property holders"

CORONER HAS NARROW ESCAPE. MT. Paris Came Near Being Struck By
 Flying Stump.

Coroner Paris, who resides near Green Springs in the southwestern part of the city, had narrow escape yesterday from being struck by stump which was be- ing removed from his yard with dyna- mite. During the storm which swept the southern part of the city recently sev- eral large trees were blown down in Cor oner Paris yard. Several days ago he decided to have the stumps removed and hired a negro man to saw them off near the ground and then bore a Finch hole in them in order to blow up the roots. The negro did as directed, and filling one of the holes with dynamite lit the fuse. At the time of the discharge MT. Paris was standing in the doorway and one of the stumps flew past him and struck the side of the doorway, making a large hole In the weatherboarding and inside wall. Fortunately no one was in the room at the time.
