Il can't explain why 1t is, becaus, !

more than l can account for the fact
that there are always rattlesnakes where
there are trout and huckleberries, or
for that other curious fact that there Is
never malaria where you find this COM
bination Of reptile. FISH and fruit. am
speaking Of our own brilliant-hued and
up-to-snuff rattlesnake, and not the
lazy, overgrown. vindictive RATHER OF
Florida, Texas and other unfavored To-
calities where poisonous reptiles seem
to breed along with fevers.
Wherever you find one OF our ever
cheerful rattlers giving forth its music
and telling you to watch out, there you
will find the purest water. the freshest
air and the highest, dryest land. AS
long as you live in country where you
have to kick RATHER off your doorstep

EVENT IN ORANGE TRADE.
Early Receipts Of Porto Rico Fruit
May Drive Gut That from
Jamaica.

The arrival of Porto Rico oranges OF
the first receipts last year was an event
OF more than usual interest to local fruit
importers. Owing to the damage to the
Jamaica crop by the recent hurricane
and to the lateness Of that crop because
of insufficient sunshine, the importers
OF the Porto Rico article believe that
the latter fruit will come into increased
favor this season and compete more Sc
riously than heretofore with Jamaica
and even Florida oranges, reports tho
New York Sun.
The trade in Porto Rico oranges
started only two seasons ago. following
the removal Of the duty AS there is
duty of about rs cents barrel on ia
maica oranges. the importers of tho
Porto Rico fruit say 1t Is only ques-
ton OF time before the latter will vlr-
lually drive the Jamaica oranges out OF
the market
Only few scattering boxes OF oranges
which have come from Porto Rico in
the course of a season are cultivated
fruit, practically all the oranges grow
ing wild. They are gathered by the ma
tiveg In the interior and sold to the ship
pers for a few dollars thousand.
Within the last few years, however
many groves have been set out and be-
ginning with the next season. cultlyat-
ed fruit is expected to come here in con-
stantly increasing quantities.

AS he sat there, plans for the future
came tlooping through his brain. Now
he could &C home to England. Tho
weary years of wandering, hardship,
and ill-luck we're all behind him. He
saw himself taking his proper place
once more among his fellows, wealthy
beyond the most sanguine dreams OF
ambition or avarice. No more sleeping
out on the veldt, frozen by night and
roasted by day-for your African des-
ert, even within 20 degrees OF the
equator, is as cold as Labrador between
sunset and sunrise. There was a
gentleman's estate. good society, and
pleasures innumerable at the end OF
the journey!
And a wife, perhaps-the queenly
Marcia Churchill
They had laughed at him in Kim
berly when he talked OF new
diamond country away off to the north
east, and no one had faith enough in
his scheme, based on a story heard
from an old Kaffir, to lend him a paltry
100 pounds for an outfit Well, the
laugh was his now! He would be a
diamond king!
Through all his visions of the past
with its cruel hardships. and OF the
future with its golden triumphs, there
floated a fair face--a woman's face
crowned with an aureole of dusky hair,
framing pair Of steadfast gray eyes
that could look a man through and
through. and forever Danish falsehood
and guile.
But perhaps she had not waited!
All. in that case-and with a sudden
tightening of the chest Dysart half
rose to his feet, showing himself full
in the ruddy glare of the fire.
AS If in answer to the cruel thought,
from out of the darkness across the
narrow stream there was an angry spat
of flame, a sharp report, and with a
groan Richard sank back as though
lifeless, shot through the body!
A sound Of hurried and scrambling
footsteps, sudden FLASHING in the
shallow water, and then there appeared
out of the darkness whence the shot
had come the form of man running
swiftly. He made straight for the ST.
lent figure of his victim, grabbed the
bag of diamonds lying by his side, and
vanished in the blackness whence he
had come.
A life-tragedy in the space OF two
hundred ticks of the watch
The two katfir boys, startled by the
shot, saw only the silent form of tn 9
"baas' and the swiftly moving appar-
ton that seemed to swoop down upon
them out of the African night.
With simultaneous yell they
dropped their tasks ard fed into the
surrounding blackness Richard by
sart was left alone-dying perhaps
dead-alone on the veldt, treacherousls
and cruelty robbed Of his hard-won
treasure!

IMPROVEMENTS IN PORTO RICO
The CROWLEY" and the AutObObilo
American Inventions That Are
Duly Appreciated.

Every year shows the advance OF
American industries and civic reform

Of Fort Cristobal. Here one has the
old and the new together: The Span

merchant, than all the Americanos
During the week in February when
Admiral Higginson's feet lay at anchor
in the harbor of Ponce, one-third of the
population rode on the electric cars TO
the Playa, or port, two miles away.
The automobile, too, has invaded Por-
to Rico. A transinsular express and
passenger service of automobile wagons
has been operating between Ponce and
San Juan for year.
Every visitor to San Juan notices tho
clean, well-paved streets. Four years
ago the rain was the only street-clean-
ing department, and did it's work only
on the slopes. In Ponce and other cit
les gangs of prisoners in brown canvas
uniforms keep the cutters clean. and
there are the beginnings of thorough
sewerage system.
Three years ago ice was a luxury; now
every town OF importance has an Ice
plant, and many private enterprises, like
the large American sugar "centrales," or
rolling mills, have refrigerating sys-

Electric lights make the streets brill
liant, and nearly all Porto Rican houses
are lighted by electricity. Telephones
are in operation in Ponce and San Juan,
and the attendant at the Spanish "en-

Since the bureau Of insular telegraph
received the telegraph system from the
signal corps in February, 1901, the num-

CHAPTER II.

When two men fall out who are
closely allied by blood or by friendship
the breach is apt to be all the more
deadly and bitter than if they had been
only mere acquaintance
And when the same men quarrel
over woman, covertly or openly, be-
ware of the consequences, for a very
pretty feud Is apt to ensue.
1t was Richard Dysart's misfortune
TO be born the younger son in family
long in lineage but short in wealth
He was bred TO the law, having hopes
of family influence and preferment in
that quarter, his own taste being for
the army. But old Sir Arthur Dysart,
his father, had his own way, and Rick
religiously kept his terms and ate
his dinners at the Temple.
The elder brother, also named Arthur
there had always been Sir Arthur
Dysart since Charles Seconds time
was of a studious turn. being Slight
and dark in stature and complexion
presenting complete antithesis to his
Berserk younger brother. In tastes
and likings they were also at Opposites
Arthur seldom shot over his fathers
preserves; Rick was never so happy
as when he had a gun over his shoulder
and a good dog at heel Arthur loved
books and flowers and music. and was
something CT a colorist: Rick almost
hated the sight of a book, and esteemed
q ride to the hounds worth more than
a library Of Elzevirs. and the merry
foot OF the huntsman's horn prettier
than classic symphony.
But it must not be inferred that
Arthur was by any means milk-sop-
he was type of the modern English
gentleman, than whom there is none
finer on Gods footstool; and if his
pursuits were OF the more peaceful
order, he could, nevertheless, be trusted
to hold his own anywhere and with
anybody.
Now, the Dysart acres were strictly
entailed, and as younger son Richard
Dysart could not expect more than
a modest inheritance Old Sir Arthur
had foresecn this, and managed to lay
by few hundreds which at his death
he intended to bequeath to Rick to tide
him over the briefless days that come
TO every budding barrister. Stella Dy-
sart, the sister. was amply provided
for, her mothers jointure having been
settled upon her absolutely.
But the will. put off from day to
day, was never made, and one morning
the old baronet came a cropper over
his horse, was carried home with a
broken neck, and a new Sir Arthur,
tenth Of his line, reigned at Denecroft.
The latter was perfectly cognizant
of his fathers intentions respecting
his brother, and meant TO scrupulously
carry them out, when an unexpected
obstacle occurred, to wit, a bitter and
acrimonious quarrel betwixt the
brothers.
Marcia Churchill, was the woman In
the case, daughter OF old Squire
Churchill, the reigning beauty Of al
least three counties, at this time in
the heydey OF her social triumphs.
Perhaps because Marcia Churchill
and Stella Dysart were representatives
Of two distinct types OF beauty they
were pretty close friends. Marcia
might have stood for one of DuMauri.
