nexIco to Adopt Gold .

President Diaz' appeal to the Mex ican congress to adopt the gold stand ard is one of the many indications which that parsonage has given that he is a modern man. There have been reports for a year or two that Mexico was moving toward the gold basis. Finance Minister Limantour has long l been in favor of the change. So has ! Gen. Diaz. A commission from Mex leo was in New York about a year ago and had talks with many promi- nent money lenders on this gold-stand- ard question. Favorable reports were obtained at the time, and Gen. Diaz message to his congress shows that the change has reached the stage of action.
 Unquestionably the attitude of the ! United States has had a determining influence with Mexico on the gold standard issue. The victory of the re- publicans in 1896 on the square gold 1 issue showed what the people of the l United States thought on that question. i That victory was reflected in a formal way by the republican act of congress of March, 1900, in which the gold stand ard was placed in the statutes and an 1 increased gold reserve was provided for. The victory of the republicans a few months later, in which the cleo tOral and popular majorities were 1 greater than they were in 1896, clinch- ed this action of the republican con gress. President Roosevelt's over whelming victory in 1904 in a cam paign in which the democrats lodged the gold issue, but in which the re- publicans renewed their devotion to it settled the question of the permanence of gold as a money basis for the United ! States and had a decisive influence on Mexico. The greater part of Mexico's foreign trade, both imports and ex- ports, is with us. Most of the foreign capital which is invested in Mexico has i been furnished by citizens of the Unit ed States. The recent $4O,OOO, ,OOO gold loan made by Mexico was subscribed wholly by American bankers.
 Mexico's shifting to the gold side will leave China as the only great nation which clings to the silver standard. A few of the smaller Latin-Americar countries and the Straits Settlements
 are the only other places which hay,
 the silver basis. Every great coun.
 try in Europe, beginning with England
 in 1816-21, abandoned silver long ago
 The United States has been anchoret
 firmely on the gold basis for years
 All the more important South Amer
 ican countries are in line with Eng
 land, France, Germany and the Unit
 ed States on the money standard
 Mexico's formal entrance into the fam
 fly of gold-standard nations will b.
 welcomed by the world. and incident ally will materially advance that coun
 try's credit and prosperity.

Her name was Susan Anne, but her
lover re-christened her Castillo. II he
had been a plumber or 4 papef-hang-
er he would probably have called her
his 'hlack-eyed Susan" but he was IL
post and an artist. eve il his name
was James Henry Perkins, so he named
her Castillo, and told himself thai her
eyes We're the color of a mountain lake
when the storm hangs over it, and her
hair was as densely black as a moon

They met at an afternoon tea, and
sat talking in q little shaded alcove be-
hin some tall palms. The atmosphere
was heavy with the perfume of roses,
and the tremulous music of the Niolins
was broken by the thin, airy treble of
WoInen's voices.
A r~ed-shaded lamp made Castilia's
cheek look like a peach ON the south
side OF 4 sum-. wall. James Henry
told her so With q delightful. hesitating
boldness, and she flushed divinely ard
was very glad that the lamp-shade
was not blue or green. They d.seov-
cred in those ten undistruhed moments
that they We're absolutely sympathetic:
they worshipped the same authors,
We're devoted to the same actors. and
sidored the same things to eat.

Castillo with a fascinating note of awe
in her voice. Il dare say you have a

Perkins smiled cynically. Il have a

very charming man, by the way, but
James Henry hated him on the spot.
For several days after thai James
Henry say nothing of Castilia; but it
happened that Castillo could not easily

her lovely. She reflected that for n

Prof. Edwards, in the first part of his

paid no heed to the prima donna, all
though she was singing diVinely. AZ
ter the curtain fell he rose ans left the
house.
Eewas now obliged to confess to him
self that unless Castillo returned his
love, life would not be worth living;
but he had no reason TO snppose that
she did; and what had he, who was Just
beginning to make his name known,
to offer her? II was by reason OF these
inward oogitations THAI James Henry
became acquainted With the chin, gla
dawn which crept through the windows
each morning and greeted his sleepless
eys.
oh, Mr.. Perkins, are you i'll, have
YOU had bad ews?' faltered Castillo,
at her next sitting.

coldly. He looked towards the chaper-
%on-aunt. who had fallen into a gentle
doze; then he biax1ered desperately.
"but-butII am going far away"

in her voice.

scorn and amazement. You don't re-

said inarticulately. 'and-and"-im-

The pin-cushiony aunt opened her
eyes on a p~rettier tableau than she had
ever seen on the stage, but she was
q very unronlantic person, and she ex-
pressed her opinion in very strong
terms. She was the only one, however,
and her opposition did not count for
much.
So Castillo and James Henry were
married, n fancied that they were
destined to live in a state of ideal bliss
ever after-only they did not.
In the first place James Henry was
a very ambitious man and absorbed in
his work, and Castillo, instead of being
properly delighted in his industry, was
offended, for she was young and foolish
and eNacting.

pleasant to meet an interesting and
companlonable man.
When James Henry was made aware
OF this decision of Castillo, he promptly
turned his great historic picture to the
wall. He would. for a season. cease
chasing the will-o-the~ wisp-Fame-
and paint the droop of Castilia's eye
lids and the curves of her lovely mouth.
Castillo did not find him SO campan-
ionabie as she had hoped during the
sittings. For one thing, he looked at
her with a certain critical, professional
CLEAN in his eyes, and for another, he
scarcely talked to her at all, and it was
very tiresome sitting in one position so
long, but she obtained some consolation
from the reflection that he had probab-
ly stood in awe of her aunt, a vast,
pin-cushiony woman, with a skin so
white and unwrinkled that it Instantly
suggested complexion masks and an
unfeeling heart.
The aunt did not approve of James
Henry, nor of her niece's wild idea of
having her portrait painted by an OBJ
scure young artist.
"She treats him as though he were a
c-c-catel-p pillar, sobbed Castillo on her
pillow, "and he is SO poor SO deserving,
so m-m-much in love with me-"
James Henry, in the meantime, was
miserably happy. He was desperately

excellent work on her portrait, and he
saw her twice a week. These facts
made him happy.
One night when he was feeling par
ticularly miserably happy. he went to
the opera. CHANGING over the house, he
saw Castillo in a box with the chaper-
on-aunt. She wore a gown that was
like the sunbeams yelled In mist. and
shining stones sparkled In ne1 aark
hair. In the background lurked the
detested paternal friend, n by Cas-
tiiia's side was a man James Henry had
seen many times lately. He was f1orid
and stout, and had the air of one at
peace With the world and himself.

They fought several times a day,

later we saw it challenge the rat to
