America is that which relates to the
introduction into the western henri
sphere of African slavery" writes
critic. THE school histories which
the school girl and school boy study
say that 1t dates from 1920 or 1919,
when a Dutch sea captain sold the
English settlers the first African. The
year 1901, however, is the date of the
earliest reference in American history
to negroes coming from Spain to
America-122 years before Albany, N.

WHO OWNS A WoMAN's HAIR?

No Claim.


Wise cadi Decided That Husband Had
No Claim.
There is nowadays virtually nothing
that wife can do for which she can
not make her husband .pecuniarily re-
sponsible. Whatever happens he has
always got to pay her costs. And
though he leaves her at his peril, she
can always leave him at her pleasure;
and the law she cah put in force to
compel his return to her is of no use
whatever to compel her to return to
him.
When" a benedict had occasion to
plead lately-"when / married her
became in sense proprietor of her
hair" Now she had brought him be-
for the Cadi on charge of stealing
that same hair. If it had been the hair
Of her head and he had exercised 1t in
the course Of business the charge
might perhaps have been unsustaina.
BILE. But she had bought the hair with
her own money and had been at
charges in making it up. The hus.
band had, as the Cadi pointed out, no
claim to the hair under the circum.
stances; there was no part ownership,
as there might have been considered
to be, in the product, and no right to
raise money on it. In point of fact
the relation between husband and wife
had come to be such that there was
only committal for trial,-Pall Mall

CHAPTER xiv.

AS said in the foregoing chapter
the days Immediately following thu
death of the prefetto and the Count d
Pordino were exciting ones.
A new prefetto was appointed by
the king, and he proved to be gen
erous and intellectual man, at whose
hands we received the kindest treat
ment.
The villa of Maligni remained in his
family, and the new prefetto resided
at the prefettura in the old castle In
Cagliari, with his wife, charming
woman, and his daughters, accom-
plished young ladies about the age Of
Nita.
Here Nita remained as his guest
during the remainder of our stay in
| Sardinia, while Mutterelli and took
up our abode at the splendid but neg
lected Villa di Thorlano, as the guest
of Thorlane.
Under the new prefetto all my be-
longings were restored to me, and I
was once more in possession of the
letter of Antonio Sigmotta, and the
locket and pin that had belonged to
the infant Alice Graviscourt.
The importance of these was greatly
augmented by another document
which contained the statement of
Dambo, duly attested by the new pre-
fetto, and the import of which will be
duly disclosed.
made Nita Barlotti fully acquaint-
ed with the significance of these.
things; and our Impotence to be off
to America to finish our work was
generously met by the new prefetto,
who aided us in every way, and final
ly saw us depart from Cagliari with
many expression Of regret. /:
Thorlane wished to have the mar
riage of Nita and himself solemnized
before leaving, but she archly babe
him be patient, for there was plenty
OF time; and she preferred to know
the truth concerning herself before
she became his wife.
To our united voices, Thorlane,
laughingly yielded, and placing his
estate in competent hands, to be cared
for until his return for final adjust
ment, he announced himself as ready
to start.
So We took steamer to Genoa,
where ! made good my promises to the
faithful Mutterelli, and placed to his
account fifty thousand lire, equal to
about ten thousand dollars.

Don ouixote 800 Years Old.

In 1905 1t will be 300 years since
don Quixote" was first published.
The anniversary is to be observed in
Spain by the publication of three spe-
cial editions of the masterpiece a
cheap popular edition, an abridged edi-
ton for use in secondary schools and
a more condensed edition for the COM
mon schools. A Cervantes institute
will be established as a refuge for
superannuated needy writer's and art
lists. Also Cervantes museum will
be established in Alcala. Then there
will be contests for the best critical
editions of minor works of Ceramics

Azores, where, after a stay Of week
or SO, they were taken on board q
sailing vessel which was bound for
Lisbon, and which had stopped at the
Azores for water. From Lisbon he
came to Italy, and at Genoa sought
his old friend Mutterelli, whom he felt
he could trust implicitly. Being in
formed that Mutterelli was in Cagliari
with Signor WilDerton of New York,
Thorlane made all preparation to en-.
ter the country where his life and lib
erty were not safe, and the day he saw
me wounded by the wayside was his
first day in Cagliari He had found
Mutterelli, and these two at once en-
tered into a secret compact, the re-
suits of which we have seen.
Mutterelli was a member of a secret
order in Italy and Sardinia, into which
he initiated Brother Michael" and it
was the authority this membership
gave him that enabled the putative
monk to compel the band of Count di
Pordino to withdraw just when they
held victory in their grasp.
Thorlane, as Brother Michael, be-
came the guest of the superior of the
monastery, and from that vantage
ground proceeded to put into opera
ton all the wires and machinery of his
secret skill to bring to successful
termination his dangerous mission.
And now that we have seen how
we'll he carried out his purposes, how
steadfast he was in his love and in
his friendship, and how skillfully he
did the work he had on nand, l leave
1t to the reader to justify the love and
admiration that Nita Barlotti and
felt toward his man, whose nobility
OF soul and sterling worth are worthy
OF a more fitting tribute than can be
conveyed in my feeble and inadequate
language.
