A Sentinel of the Centuries.

A Sentinel of the Centuries.
When he heard what General Barra,
10 had to say Jack Overton found some
difficulty in restraining his delight.
Should this enormous fortune fall into
their hands how his sanguine dreams
would be realized, and what wonderful
things he could accomplish.
Barrajo disclosed rude parchment
map, supposed to have been drawn by
an Indian many scores Of years before.
Overton, with that readiness charac-
teristic of the enterprising American,
at once made a duplicate copy Of the
same.
Then they talked over the wonderful
matter In a most serious way, arrang.
ing their plans even down to the most
minute details.
The crisis was coming none too soon.
Jack concluded. for unless something
happened to get him out of the country
there must presently be an explosion.
He had feared 1t of late, for Dona
Juanita was beaming love upon him
every time they met. and from more
than one quarter he found black looks
bent upon him by the jealous-minded
young gallants Of San Juan.
Many conqueror Of Kingdoms has
met his fate finally through the venge-
full hand Of woman whose love he
has treated lightly.
Overton cursed the hour when he
first saw this dark-eyed houri Turing
her two rivals to meet in deadly COM
bat so that the public ball might wind
up in its usual blaze of glory.
Here then came old Barrajo. just in
the nick Of time. 1t seemed, with
grand project which. II successful.
would open up an avenue Of escape.
Thus Overton was doubly anxious TO

would grow interesting before the end

they were now traversing what had

His reasoning was sound.
II Jack doubted 1t at first, he was
presently convinced that the general
had built wisely.
"Madre de Diosi Look, Senior Jack!"
suddenly exclaimed the dictator, start
ing back, and pointing to some object
beyond.
The white moonlight sifted through
the tangled masses of tropical verdure

fell full upon what appeared to be a

to pinch himself, in order to discover
whether he were awake or sleeping.
1t was not Jacks habit to appear dis.
tressed-whether the announcement
were huge canard, or given in dead
earnest, he did not mean these men
of Gautarica should see him staggered.
20 he quickly pulled himself together
and. laughing, said:
"Ah! indeed! Thank you for the
honor, but tell me, how did this little
event transpire?"
'In the natural course of events,
your excellency. The noble army had
grown weary of Roblado, whose prom.
ises of reform were never kept. They
liked Montejo no better. and. as usual,
elected me dictator, with the power to
choose their next President"

reckless as to what port he brought
up at.
There was at leas. chance that this
astonishing change in his fortunes
might mean a material advance in the
line of his dream. for he had never
yet heard of president OF Central

position.

ITO Be Continued.)
MEMBERS OF SACRED COLLEGE.
Italians Have Majority In Selecting a
New Pope.

New Pope.
The sacred college enters on the
new year so nearly complete as to
mark new record. The plenum is
seventy, and there are now sixty~six
red hats, with heads under them, IL
one may so express it, which leaves
little or no margin, as 1t Is tradi-
ton to leave the number of the princes
of the church incomplete. At the be-
ginning of 1900 there were only fifty
six; during the year two have died,
and twelve have been created. During
the twenty-four years of Leo Kills
pontificate no fewer than 1877 cardinals
have died. Recently the sacred college
was so reduced as to have only fifty
only one consistory by the creation Of
twelve cardinals, who substantially
modified that institution, and who will
have a notable influence ON the cleo
ton of new pope, says the Pail Mall
Gazette.
The proportion OF foreign and Italian
princes of the church, which until re-
cent years had been kept about equal,
is now, however, much altered, the
Italians being in the majority. In fact,
the sacred college is at present COM
posed of forty Italians and twenty
six OF other nations; of these seven
are French, six Austro-Hungarian, one
Portuguese, one Belgian. one Ameri-
can. one English, one Irish. etc. Given
that the sixty-six cardinals all enter
the conclave, the Italians would at
once be In the majority in favor of
their own countrymen, majority Of
one only being necessary to make the
election valid. But agreement Is nee
essary. and this is the saving clause in
favor of the minority, which can make
their weight felt through the disagree
ments of the others.
