CHAPTER vi.

Some enemies to Senior Vavara.
On the front gallery of the rancho
house four men were gathered in talk.
They were Glynn, Russell Maude, AL
Ign and a Mexican herd-boss, named
Juan Cara. They spoke in low tones
with heads close together. Maude had
just joined the group and for his bene-
fit the Mexican was rehearsing his
tale.
"Eet wass lax dis" he said, tracing
with his finger on the floor an i'm
aginary route. "We-Antonio Villega,

Maude, that Vavara is at his old work.

with that, he would doubtless add a

The only daughter Of the miner from
the West, who mad been a day-laborer
before he made his millions, was pour
ing tea this afternoon.
An Eastern exotic in spats, knowing
the value of money in his business, had

that he would be only too happy.

CHEW YOUR FOOD.
Stale Bread No More Digestib1e Than

Stale Bread No More Digestible Than
the Fresh Article.
It is q common thing to hear per-
sons say they cannot eat this or that
because it does not agree with them.
The chances are that they could eat it
with impunity If they would only
learn to chew it. New bread and hot
rolls are two delicacies in point. Few
things taste better, yet there are thou
sands of persons who will hold up
their hands in horror and declare that
they are the most indigestible. Of stuff.
Yet there is absolutely no reason why
this should be so. Stale bread, contrary
to the common belief, is not bit
more digestlble than fresh bread. But
a slice of stale bread, on being bro
ken with the teeth, resolves itself into
more or less hard and gritty particles,
which it is almost impossible to swal-
low until they are softened by the sa-
Iva. The particles irritate the throat
and the gullet until they are well
moistened. The fact is, therefore, that
man is absolutely compelled to masti-
cate stale bread before he swallows it.
This act, Of course, partially: digests
the bread and thus makes it it, in a
fit state for digestion and absorption
further on in the alimentary tract.
That is why stale bread appears to be
more digestible than new bread. New
bread is soft, doughty or plastic, and
there appears to be no necessity to
soften it'swith saliva, hence it escapes
the preliminary digestive action. It is
in reality bolted, and bolting accounts
for dyspepsia. Hot rolls can be en-
joyed for breakfast without any fear

Unique Form of BAPTISM,

A new religious sect has been found
ed in the southwestern province Of
Russia, the members Of which believe
in baptism by brandy insteap of bap-
tism by water. The baptism, too, is
internal, instead Of external, the con-
vert drinking as much of the liquor
as he can possibly negotiate. The
method Of baptism is believed to be
the cause Of the rapid growth Of the
sect, which is gaining converts in all

For long the ex-soldier sat-sat until
the swift dusk came through the win
dow, the letter clenched In his hand.
Then, he rose, tore it to bits and set
his heel on the bits. His face was
drawn and haggard, his sharp, white
teeth had gnawed his underlip until
the blood spurted and there were dried
drops Of it on his breast. Who shall
say what wasted years, what excuses,
what crimes had passed in review be-
fore him? He staggered slightly as he
walked across the room and looked
into a glass. An evil light burned in
his small, dark eyes. He uttered but
one word-a word with which he had
been familiar on African sands, which
had clung' to him, in which he believed
utterly: ''Kismet!" *
That night at dinner he turned to
the company the same stern, impas-
sive face. He was once more, re-
pressed, self-centered, immovable. He
had, bowed gravely to Lois, conveying
subtly his acceptance of her decision,
but that night in the drawing room he
said to her:

Characteristics of Weasels.

Characteristics of Weasels.
A recent writer tells this story of
a weasel: 1.-TWO friends were out in
Charmwood forest, Leicestership, and
while one of them went to ex-
anime some object of interest at
distance the other lay down upon
the grass to rest. This gentleman, it
seems, had sardine sandwich or two
in his coat pocket, and presently he
felt something evidently trying to
force an entrance. He put out his
hand suddenly and found he had a
weasel in his grasp. He threw the
animal to some distance from him and
lay down. again. Within a few min
utes the weasel was again struggling
at his pocket, and not until he had
repeatedly driven it away did the de-
termined creature relinQuish it's de-
signs upon the lunch"
Weasels are not slow to resent an
injury. On one occasion a man who
sought to kill one with a stick was
attacked by colony of from fifteen
TO twenty, which rushed from beneath
rock on hearing the cry of their
friend. The Infatuated creatures
sprang upon him, rending his hands
with their sharp teeth and attempting
to reach his throat. He was so IA
tlgued with fighting them and from
the blood he had lost that but for the
timely appearance of another person.

laborers to harvest them. One would
think that laborers living on a farm
would be compelled to work for the
proprietor, but that does not seem
to be the case here, as in spite of the
fact that in most cases they pay no
rent they will either refuse to work
at all or will work only few days at
