The Rock Island System has done
and is doing notably good work in en-
couraging immigration to the South
west The agricultural and industrial
opportunities of that section Of coun-
try have been persistently and system
atically set forth, as a result of which
the number of,people who have settled
in Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Ar
kansas this spring has been greater
than in years. On three days in Feb
ruary and March, over six thousand
homeseekers took advantage of the low
rates to the Southwest and removed
themselves and their belongings to the

Drunkenness and Coffee Drinking.

Drunke mess anu COffee DflnKIng.
A traveller has made the observa-
ton that coffee drinking people are
seldom given to drunkenness. In
Brazil, for instance, where coffee is
grown extensively, and all the inhabi-
tants drink it many times a day, in
toXication is rarsly seen. The effect
is not only noticeable among the ma
tiyes, but the foreigner who settles
there, though possessed of a passion
for strong drink, gradually loses his
liking for alcohol as he acquires the
coffee drinking habit of the Brazilian.

Two or three ill-assorted muskets
slanted about round the foot of the
mast-a long old piece, of the time
of PiZarro, all red velvet and silver
chasing, on a swiVeled stand, three
English fowling pieces and coach
mans blunderbuSS. A man was rising
from a mattress stretched on the floor
he placed a mandolin, decorated with
red favors, on the greasy table. He
was shockingly thin, and so tall that
his head disturbed the candle-soot on
the ceiling. He said: "Ah, l was
waiting for the cavalier to awake"
He stalked round the end of the
table, slid between it and the side, and
grasped my arm with wrapt earnest
ness as he settled himself slowly be-
side me. He Wore red shirt that had
become rather black where his long
brown ringlets fell on his Shoulders;

English ship.
.'I beg the Senior Caballero to listen
to what l have to record he said,
with intense gravity. Il cannot bear
this much lOnger-no, l cannot bear
my sufferings much longer"
His face was of a large, classical
type; clOSe-featured, rather long
face, with an immense nose that from
the front resembled the section of a
bell; eyebrows like horseshoes, and
very large PUZZLED eyes that had the
purplish- brown luster of a horses. His
air was mournful in the extreme, and
chest were sounding board. He used
! immensely long sentences, of which l
only understood one-half
What, then, is the difference be-
tween me, Manuel del Popolo Isturiz,
and this Tomas Castro? The Senior
Caballero can tell at once. Look at
me. 1 am the finer man. l would
have you ask the ladies of Rio Medic,
and leave the verdict to them. This
Castro is an Andalou-a foreigner. And

CHAPTER VI.


Meantime, some of the rascals left
on board the schooner had filed on
her in light wind, and, sailing round
our stern, had brought their vessel
alongside. Ropes were thrown on
board and we lay close together, but
the schooner, with her dirty decks,
looked to me, now, very sinister and
very sordid.
Now Castros extraordinary words
suggested infinite possibilities of
disastrous nature, could not tell just
what. The explanation seemed to be
struggling to bring itself to light, like
name that one has had for hours on
the tip of a tongue without being able
to formulate it.
Suddenly Castro, stretching his arm
out at me, cried, Come, hombreS.
This is the cabellero; seize him. And
to me in his broken English he shout
ed, You may resist, if you like
This was what / meant to do with
all my might. The ragged crowd sur
rounded me; they chartered like mon
keys. One man irritated me beyond
conception. He looked like an inn
keeper in knee bfeecheS, had a broken
nose that pointed to the left, and
double chin. More of them came run
ming every minute. l made a sort
Of blind rush at the fellow with the
broken nose; my elbow caught him on
the soft fold of flesh and he skipped
backwards; the rest scattered in all
directions, and then stood at distance,
chattering and waving their hands.
The man with the double chin drew
a knife from his sleeve, crouched in
stantly, and sprang at me. 1 hadn't
fought anybody since 1 had been at
school, raising my fists was like try
ing a dubious experiment in an emer-
gency. | caught him rather hard, on
the end of his broken nose; I felt the
contact of my right, and a small pain
in my left hand. His arms went up
to the sky; his face, too. \But 1 had
started forward to meet him, and half
a dozen of them flung their arms
round me from behind.
seemed to have an exaggerated
clearness of vision; saw each brown,
dirty paw reach out to clutch some
part of me- / was not angry any more;
it wasn't any good being angry, but
made fight for 1T. There were dozens
Of them; they clutched my wrists, my
elbows, and in between my wrists and
my elbows, and my shoulders. One pair
of arms was round my neck, another
round my waist, and they kept on try
ing to catch my legs with ropes. We
seemed to stagger all over the deck;
expect they got in each others way;
they would have made a better lob Of
1t if they hadn't been such multitude
l must then have got ascrack on the
head, for everything grew dark; the
night seemed to fall on us, as we fought.
Afterward found myself lying gasp
ing on my back on the deck Of the

money on board" he yelled at the
wretched man lying there like a sheep
ready for slaughter. The other could
only gasp and blink. Castro's ferocity
was so remarkable that for a moment
1t struck me as put on. There was no
necessity for it. We were meek and
silent enough.
The ragged, brown men were pour
ing on deck from below; their arms
full of bundles. Half a dozen of them
started to pull off the main hatch tar
paulin. Up aloft the crew looked
down with scared eyes. 1 began to
say excitedly, in my indignation, al
most into his very ear:
II know you, Thomas Castro know
you, Thomas Castro"
Even then he seemed not to hear:
but at last he looked into my face
