Thus they talked, Gomez all the time
conducting the defense of the castle
against its owner. and at the same
time keeping Philip and Don Juan
with him, and their interest centered
in the fight.
An hour passed, and burned powder
on each side was the only result
achieved.
Don Juan began to grow impatient.
"Of what use is this?" he exclaimed.
The fools will play with those guns
all day and all night. This kind of war
fare grows mOnotonous. When they get
weary they will depart, only to annoy
us again."
"What would you advise, Don
Juan?" asked Philip.
ATTACK. Drive them. Cut them
down! 1t is only by destroying this
army of S~alvarez that we can carry
our banners from this place toward
Caracas"
1T is So" said Philip, Gomez, why
not attack"
1T can be done" said Gomez, darting
a look Of hatred at CARA.
1t was not the desire of Gomez just
then to shorten the battle. Mattazudo
had not yet returned from the evil err
rand upon which he had been sent.
But the commands of Philip must be
Obeyed.
Then it was that Salvarez was start
led by the shouts of his men.
From the battlements outside the
castle came a company to drive the be-
siegers away.
SalvareZ shouted out an order to his
soldiers. They had been impatiently
waiting for the time to come when
rifles and pistols could be used in the
defense of their country, instead of
cannon, which accomplished nothing.
They rallied around their courageous
leader.
Fire" he commanded.
A voiley was fired. and a dozen Of
the men of Philip lay dead, and a score
wounded. Yet the remainder did not
slacken the speed at which they ad-
Vanced.
They returned the fire.
Several of the soldiers of Salvarez
fell.
Salvarez gave the command to fire
again.
The advancing enemy now, instead
of coming straight for Salvarez, made
for the trees and found shelter.
Then began a sort of guerrilla fight
ing, neither side gaining the advant-
age. Firing by volleys was out of the
question. Every man found a tree and
fired from behind it whenever he saw
the head of an enemy.
This lasted a half-hour.
Then Mattazudo appeared near the
group of officers around Philip of Ara.

cred in the ear of Gomez.
Gomez turned to Philip.
at has lasted long enough" he said.
81 will now show your majesty how to
deal with those who oppose you"
He gave the word to Mattazudo.
The two hundred Zambos under the
command of the rascally half-breed
swept out of the battlements, and
gaining the rear OF S~alvarez, began an
attack.
Men of the republic fell by dozens.
at is of no use" said SalvareZ. Our
men canOnt hold out. We cannot hope
to win. Another time, and the castle
shall be ours"
He gave the order to retreat.
His men, being familiar with the
ground, melted away from before the
Zambos, and when there were no more
soldiers to pursue. the Zambos re-
turned to the castle.
Philip, Gomez and Don Juan stood
and watched the return of their army
from the scene of its second victory.
I'VE are invinCible." said Philip.
"You are king" said Don Juan.

BON Ray,


India is rapidly taking a leading
place in the exploitation of the motor
Industry in foreign lands. 1t is worth
the careful attention and thorough In.
vestigation of American manufacture
ers who are seeking to enlarge their
markets. The present time is an un-
usually good one for them to find out
what the peculiar. and special needs
of the country are and what their
competitors are doing to capture and
hold the increasingly valuable trade.
Reliability trials are to be held at
Mysore, in southern India during the
Christmas holidays. These will be
followed by a general motor eXhibi
tion at Calcutta from January 81 to
January 80, at which all the leading
European manufacturers viii! be rep
resented
The value of the trade is aeen from
the official statement that The motor
cars, motorcycles, and cycles i'm
ported during the last fiscal year
amounted to approximately $2000,000,
of which one-half was through the
port of Bombay the supply mart of
western India. Accessories, which
are classified under different headings,
add to this total while fuel and lubri
eating oils have had largely increased
sales since the use of motor cars has
become popularized
One cause of the popularity of the
motor in India is the number and
the extent of good roads, some of
them hundreds of miles in length. A
perfect highway runs from Bombay
to Delhi 800 miles, over which the
trials were made in 1904. ~' ~
From Peshawar, farther north at
the frontier Of Afghanistan, fine
road extends all the way to Calcutta,
distance Of 1900 miles. These and
similar roads are known as the grand
trunks, and were built and maintained
as military highways before the ad-
vent of the railways. They are kept
In perfect state of repair.
The high-class and high-priced cars
which in any country must be con
sidered as luxuries have found their
best customers among the native
rulers, whose example has been fol
lowed by the rich Parsee merchants
and financiers of Bombay, and in
modest degree by some Of the officials
of the Indian government Gradually
the use of motors has spread until
they have ceased to be looked upon
as luXuries, and are now regarded as
necessities by a growing number Of
persons who are able to invest from
$1,000 up to $4,000 in a motor vehicle.
At first it was found necessary TO en-
ploy European chauffeurs, and this
is still done by the owners Of the fin
est nachines, but it is now possible
to obtain competent native chauffeurs
ut very moderate wages.

and 1908, when the yield fell slightly
below that of preceding years.
Prior to 1898 the entire production
amounted to approximately $4,000
600, but in that year work was begun
in earnest, with the result that in the
succeeding u months over 100000 900
was taken out. In 1901 the sterling

142) and up to May 81 Of this year
the yield amounted to G3,044275
(s14,Sl4, ,964).
For several years the problem Of
water supply for the gold fields was
most difficult to solve, for in that ter
ritory about 400 miles from Perth,
the capital of the state, there are no
rivers, few natural supplies of sur.
face water, and the rainfall is light.
The vital importance Of overcoming
this difficulty was recognized by the
state, and some idea of the magnitude
Of the undertaking may be formed by
the cost OF the construction which
amounted 10 over $I5,00100O In 1896
the premier of the state obtained the
approval of the Legislature to an cN.
pendture Of $l2,5O0,00O for the pro
vision of a supply Of 100000 gallons
Of water a day The work was crcr
getically pushed and brought to
successful completion in 1908.
Fully 5000 men are engaged In
mining, and the wages paid are sulf-
ciently high to induce frstClass min
ers to remain permanently employed.
In the gold fields the value of mining
machinery in use amounts to approx.
mately $20,OOOOO0 and there have
been erected about 1000 stamps
These figures show couclusiycly the
splendid industry that has been built
up, and all conditions now point to a
continuance Of the prosperous condl.

HUSBAND OR WIFE TO LOSE POSITION.

President Roosevelt has decided to eject from
the government service the husband or wife where
both are employed He has called upon the civil
service commission for a list of names OF such
employees. When this list has been furnished
under direction of the president the husband and
wife who are both upon Uncle Sans pay roll will
be given opportunity to decide which shall
remain and which shall resign. If no agreement
is reached or the other will be dismissed
The president will interpose no objection to the
