such as mountains in their inspiring
grandeur, oceans in their awesome
beauty, brooks in their ripping suggest
iyeness, graintields in their sun reflect
ing brightness, were it not for the eye
which telegraphs its impressions to the
mind? So we assert that anything of
beauty that appeals to the eye will elu-
cate and cultivate the mind because it
inspires the mind to higher thought.
When several beautiful gowns are worn
in one evening it gives intense enjoy.
ment to the eye, which Immediately
sends it reflections to the mind sets its
impressions to words which to the poet
suggests beautiful verse. Such inspiring
gowns will be worn by Miss Courtenay

AT any time" was the nonchalant
reply.
Some people might have thought
such a solemn ceremony necessitated
pomp and full dress-they might even
have been Mortified at the sight OF the
new president standing in his shirt
sleeves within the doorway of his
adobe domicile. with his pipe between
his teeth. holding up his right hand
and repeating in Spanish the oath of
office, which Barrajo uttered for per
haps the thirteenth time in his long
held capacity as dictator.
Thus IT was done.
The general called for farewell
round of cheers. and they were given
with as much good will as the husky
and parched throats that had been In

Then the rahble betook itself OFF,
much to Jacks relief. the general not
forgetting to give the highly enter
tanning military salute due to the ex-
alted office his friend and protege now
occupied.
Having once embarked upon the sea
of adventure. Jack had become quite
reckless as to what port he brought
up at.
There was at least chance that this
astonishing change in his fortunes
might mean n material advance in the
line of his dream. for he had never
yet heard of a president of a Central
American republic who had not man
aged by some means or other. fair or
foul, to amass wealth by virtue OF his
position.

Book Two.
The Modern Argonnuts.

Two years had flown since Senior
Jack was duly installed in office as
president of the republic-such a pc
riod Gautarica had never seen before,
and would hardly witness again in the
next decade. 1t would be impossible
to narrate the many successes and
failures Jack made during those two
years. nor shall | attempt 1t, since
more important events await our at
tention.
About the only cloud in Jacks sky
was Dona Juanita, who had become
passionately enamored of him. Bar
iaJo. who dearly desired to see hm
settled down, advised him to marry
her. and cast his fortunes for all time
with the people of his adoption.
Whereupon Jack felt compelled to
narrate the whole story of his past,
and Barrajo was so affected by 1t that
he fell upon his neck and wept tears
of sympathy, generous old soul that he
was.
But Barrajo was fearful Of the re-
venge Dona Juanita might take IL her
love were openly repulsed. and finally
confided to Jack the plan he had for
the advancement of their fortunes.
Briefly 1t was this.
When Cortez. with fire and sword,
scourged the fair land of the Monte
zumas to the north, and his savage
soldiers dealt out death with a lavish
hand whenever the people failed, to re-
spond to their stern orders for more
treasure, a reign of terror had swept
over the whole of Mexico.
Then 1t was that thousands fed to
the unknown southland, led by their
priests. seeking new homes amid the
forest-clad wilderness of Central Amer
lea.
Since the object of Cortez's brutal
soldiers decree was to gain possession
of what riches the country possessed,
these guardians OF the temples, before
indulging in flight. despoiled them of
the golden images and jewelstudded
altars, which vast treasures they car
ried with them. determined that, come
what might. these bearded barbariaus
from over the sea should not succeed
Ia accomplishing their boasted object
History tells of the wonderful booty
secured by the Spanish conquistadors;
indeed. the Imagination is appalled, at
the extent of the riches they secured.
In Peru. the people. hoping to ransom
their captive Inca, Atahuallpa, from
the cruel hands of pizarro. had readily
filled room seventeen feet square and
as high as man could reach with gold
in the shape of ingots and statues from
the temples and palaces. and history
likewise declares that the quantity OF
treasure conveyed away and concealed
forever from the coyetous eyes of the
Europeans was said to have infinitely
