little Kitty! I like Kitty. Everyone

A Smart Detroit Man Who Wasn't to
De Fooled and His Costly
Lesson.

81 had heard so much about con-
fldence men, said a Detroit real es-
tate dealer, according to the Free
Press, "that, when 1 took my first
trip to Chicago, some years ago,
I thought every man saw had a
trick up his sleeve. Two days passed
and no one approached me, and l had
begun to think they rated me too
sharp for 'em, when I had an ap-
pointment to meet man at a GER
tain number on State street. It was
a warm day, and was hopping my
brow and rushing along, when chap
overlook me with roll of money
in his hand and said:
Excuse me, sir, but you have
dropped your boodle."
"'Sir!' said I, as I halted, I may
be a spring chicken, but don't peck
at that kind of corn!'
"I'm an honest man, he went on,
as he held out the roll.
""Then keep the money for your
honesty

"'I certainly do, and I wish you
better luck in picking up your next

"He pocketed the money, smiled
and moved off," said the Detroiter,
'and for the next fifteen minutes
cackled over my sharpness. I had
heard of that old game fifty times
over, but that roll of greenbacks
looked so tempting that if I hadn't
been on my guard should have fall

"But you didn't fall" was re-
marked.
"Alas! no."
''But why alas?"
because it was my own roll, and
there were $3.50 in it! I had pulled
it out of my hind pocket with my
handkerchief, and an honest man had
met with insult in trying to restore
it to me. He was told to keep it,
and he certainly did; and if he

ever came across I certainly dol"

HOMES OF THE AZTECS.
Ruined Castles Surrounded by Meats
and Fortified Walls in South
ern COlOradO,

The region of the extreme south
western corner of Colorado is a little
known and but little explored land.
1t is nearly 100 miles from any rail-
road, yet it corners on Arizona, Utah
and New Mexico. 1t is peculiar coun-
try, quite unlike that of the rest of
Colorado. 1t is of no little geological,
economical as we'll as archaeological
interest, says Mines and Minerals. In
the latter case it was once the home
O.. the ancient cliff dwellers, whose
curious dwellings are found in the
hollows of some of the most romantic
rock scenery imaginable, while re-
mains of their pottery are scattered
far and wide over the land, and frag-
every bluff and in great quantities in
the numerous mounds, forming their
burying places. In some localities,
too, we find relics of grand building
or fortified Enclosure, containing once
many hundreds of rooms, still stand
ing on a knoll in a wide river meadow
or canyon. The ruined remains of
these ancient castles, surrounded by
their moats and rude fortified walls,
remind US Of some Of the ruined Nor
man castles we have seen in the old
country.
The picturesque and wild character
of the country is enhanced Iy meet
ing with bands of gayly-blarketed
Navajo Indians followed by their
bleating flocks of goats and sheep.
These primitive features are in keep
ing with the character of the scenery.
1t is land of wild desolation, of rocks
of various colors, red, pink, green and
gray, sculptured by erosion into all
sorts of grotesque and picturesque
forms, fortresses, isolated castellated
rocks pinnacled like cathedral spires,
and long sweeps of monotonous pla-
teaux, varied by the uprise of lofty
comb of tilted rock like the dorsal fin
of fish rising high above the surface
and traceable as far as eye can reach,
known as the "Great Hogback."
In the distance a pinnacled cone of
volcanic rock rises in a vertical cliff
/, 800 feet above the level of the
plateaux, known as Ship Rock or the
Needles, and in the extreme distance,
north and south, are peculiar and
strange little isolated groups of vol
canic mountains, appearing like is
lands on the great plateau plain.
These are of typical laccolitic origin
and structure. These lone islets are
all that break the monotony of the
ocean of plateaux extending from
Colorado into Utah and Arizona.
At Aztec, along the river, we have
a fine evidence of the past work of
the cliff jewellers in the remains of
an old fortress or fortified camp in
the river bottom. The ruins stand
on the top of a knoll
of sandstone. Around the rim of this
in semi-circle the ruined buildings
are formed, the semi-circle being
about 400 yards long. All the little
rooms and cubby holes are close to-
gether, eliminating in a more pre-
tentious building or central tower,
whose ruins are about 40 feet high.
This was probably the citadel where
the chief lived. The ordinary rooms
are about six by eight feet, made OF
loose stones and daubed inside with

managed to get along until breakfast

without any milk, and, also, as luck
would have it, promptly forgot the
one word of Spanish I knew, and
which of all words was the one most
wanted at that moment. This time

"But surely I'm more or less in love
with Margaret and Kitty, tool"
"Believe me, very much less rather
than more.'
"Dear lady! BY what signs do you
Judge me?"
"By these signs" Mrs. Eden told
him. "When you are really in love
with a woman you don't weigh her in
the balance with anyone else. She
stands above everyone, unique and
alone. You don't ask other women
their opinion of her; you force your
opinion on them. You are in her So
ciety as often as you can manage it.,
and you are filled with solicitude for
her welfare whenever she is out Of
your sight. You joke with her, laugh
with her, discuss with her, and disa-
gree with her. You quarrel with her
and make it up again. You lay open
to her the subjecty you have nearest
your heart, and in any difficulty your
first thought is to take her advice"
"But there's no woman in the world
towards whom I feel like that but
you,' said Holt with sincerity. "And-
and-but why-Lord! What fool
you must think met"
He moved close beside Mrs. Eden on
the sofa and took her hand between
his own!"
"Dear-my dear'-he asked her per-
suasively, "do you think you could ever
get to love me the least bit?"
Mrs. Eden turned away to hide her
smiles, and having subdued them
turned back with histrionic word
of surprise upon her tongue tip, but,
looking straight into his eyes, she sud-
denly threw away play-acting and
gave him the warm and happy truth.
"You dear and foolish person!" she
murmured, "could you not see l have
loved you for long?"
Now Holt, who hid some wisdo be-
meath much apparent folly, was wise
enough to let this query fall.-Chicago
