Eyes; it is l."
"Where-did you come from? How
long"
Yes, have been listening. They
told me at home that you had gone
out to look for me, and I followed
you. I heard your voice as l was
passing, and 1 came into the garden.
I have been standing by the window,
and"
Heard every word?-You-you
should not have listened. Come
away"
Il am presently. Il want
to say something, Yorke Yorke, you
have not heard all yet-not the whole
truth. He'"-she glanced at Ralph
Duncombe-"didn not tell you; butt
will
mo, say no more, but come home
with me-"
81 can not, I must speak. Miss
Lisle"-she drew nearer to Leslie.
Miss Isle, you have been cruelty
wronged, and by mel"
at was I who-who separated you
from Lord Auchester!"
Eleanor"
Eyes, 1. 1t was l who employed
Mr. Duncombe to buy the debts and
summon Lord Auchester."
Isis this necessary, Lady Flea
nor? I am ready to take all the re-
sponsibility."
NO. it was l The woman Finetta
told me the-the marriage was to
take place, and l did all could to
prevent it. You wonder that 1 should
admit it? have told you that I have
been standing by the window there
and have heard all. Do you think I
would hold Lord Auchester to his
promise, that I would consent to his
marrying me now that I know he is
in love with another woman? l tell
you this now, that Lord Auchester
may not hold Mr.. Ralph Duncombe to
blame. The sin, if sin there was, was
mine. and | atone for it. Miss Isle,
if were to say that 1 am sorry, you
would not believe me. You are a
woman like myself, and you will un-
derstand I knew Lord Auchester
before you did, and"-she looked
round haughtily-T loved him If
there is any shame in that, accept
it. He knows that l loved him."

FACTS ABOUT THE BANANA.
Ripened During Voyage as Good as
Ripened Under Tropical Sun.

Ripened During Voyage as Good as
Ripened Under Tropical Sun.
There is a vast amount of ignorance
prevailing among intelligent people
concerning the growth production and
marketing of bananas. Many people
imagine that the natives in tropical
climes step out of their huts in the
early morning and pluck and eat ba-
nanas fresh from the plant, the same
as they would oranges and other
fruits. Bananas ripened on the
plant are not suitable for food.
Bananas, even after travelling 5000
miles in a green state, are every bit
as good as bananas ripened under a
tropical sun. This is probably true
of no other export fruit. The plant
of which bananas is the fruit is not
a tree, nor is it bush or vine 1t
is simply gigantic plant, growing to
a height of from fifteen to twenty
feet. About eighteen feet from the
ground the leaves, ofttimes eight feet
long, come out in a sort of cluster
rum the CSHISF Vi WHICH springs
bunch of bananas
These do not grow with the bananas
pointing upward naturally, and if the
stem grew straight they would hang
exactly as seen in the fruit stores and
grocers' windows. This, however, is
not the case; the stem bends under
the weight of the fruit, and this
brings it into directly the opposite DO

On either side of stream the armies lay
Waiting for to then renew the ray

Between the hills so fair to look upon;
Whose dancing waters tinged with sllvery hsh1
Wed in their beauty. with the starry night
But list from northern hill there steals along
The softest strain of music and OF song
The "Starry Banner" nations glorious ar
To tell to all Of gallant flag still there.
Then "Hail Columbia" thousand voices sing
with all their souls, and make the hiItops ring
From fire to fire, from tent to tent, then new
The welcome words, Lad, sing the Boys in Blue
And we'll they sang; each heart was tlled Win JOY
From first in rank to little drummer boy
Their lusty cheering reached the southern ear
Men who courted danger knew no fear'
And talking DER their scanty evening meal
Each did grasp his trusty blade OF steel.
Soon upon the northern ear there fell

The sentry stopped and rested on his gun,
While back to home his thoughts did quickly run
Thinking OF loving wife and children there
With no one left to guard them, none to care.
The stripping lad not strong enough to bear
The weight of sabre or the knapsack's wear
Tried to stop with foolish, boyish pride
The starting tear as well might stop the tide
Of ceaseless, rolling ocean, just as well,
AS stop those tears which fast and faster fell
Then lol by mutual sympathy there rose
A shout tremendous, forgetting they were foes;
A simultaneous shout which rang from every voice.
And seemed to make the very heavens rejoice!
Sweet music's charm! one chord doth make us wild,
But change the strain we weep little child;
Touch vet another men charge the battery gun
And by those martial tones, a victorys won
It matters not from whence how far we roam
No heart cold that does not love Sweet Home

GOING TO
President Sends Taft and Ba.
con to Cuba.

Havana, Sept. 15.-President
Roosevelt's action in sending
Acting Secretary of State Bacon
and Secretary of War Taft to
Cuba to investigate conditions,
is regarded favorably on the
whole by the Cubans. The con-
viction is overwhelming that the
present trouble must be settled
through the United States.
Eduardo Chibas, a prominent
resident of Santiago, said today,
"The entire province of SanUia-
go will burst into revolt unless
the United States intervenes i'm
mediately. There must be a
protectorate or there will be no
permanent peace in Cuba"
New York, Sept 15.-President
Roosevelt's letter sent last night
to the quarreling Cubans, in
which he called for peace and
announced that he would send
Taft and Bacon to Havana at
once to inquire into conditions,
is pleasing to business men
whose interests in Cuba had be-
gun to suffer. The suggestion
that he send a commission to
Cuba, it is said, came from them.
Col. Guirre, head of the Revolu-
tionary junta, sent a c~ablegram
to Havana advising the insur-
gents to stop fighting, pending
the outcome of the mission of
Taft and Bacon, who will leave
Washington for Cuba tomorrow
night.

Vincente M. Baca and son are here
looking after their sheep business, the
father having been summoned from
Canada on %cou of the son having
difficulty with the native herders
some OF whom have threatened to
kill him. A Mexican who lives in
the "Chihuahua'' suburb of Roswell,
deserted a herd of Mr.. Baca's sheep,
causing the loss of some fifty e
worth seven dollars a head. This
| herder had been paid $3.50 in adj
vance and had worked about a month
and a half when he deserted the
sheep, still owing Mr.. Baca about
s45. Over this incident the whole
trouble arose with other herders, and
| the father came with the idea that
| he would either get American herd
| ers or move his entire flock of sheep
out of New Mexico. While there is
a strict law against the uesertion of
| sheep by the nerders, Mr.. Baca says
| there is no hope of securing a con-
viction on account of the Mexicans
all banding together against the one
witness for the prosecution. In this
| particular case, however, he has the
| check which was paid the herder,
| showing the date when the advance
payment was made, and perhaps will
/ prosecute.
