CHAPTER XIV.


That evening was dark and cloudy.
By nine O'Clock the largest object
would not cast a shadow.
Jacinta, still weak after the exhaust
ing excitement of the day. waited al
most breathlessly for the midnight
hour to come. for it was by this time
certain that the plan of Francisco was
working to perfection. But, so
strangely are women constituted, even
as she rejoiced in the fact that her
fathers life was to be saved, she be-
gan to rebel against the fulfillment of
the promise that had made his saliva
tion possible.
She loathed and despised Francisco,
whom she knew to be a man of low
and brutal tastes, small, mean soul,
and her heart grew sick when she
thought of the future that must now
be hers-bOund to man upon whom
she would look only with loathing and
contempt.
And as her mind dwelt on the short
comings and evil character of the man
who was destined to be her husband
there rose before her the picture of the
handsome young American who had
rescued her from Franciscos evil
hands.
There was a man she could have
loved.
"He loves another" she said to her.
self And that other is to be married
to the hateful conqueror. Ah! if
we're free. why might not the American
love me?"
She cast aside her gloomy thoughts
and went to the window, where. press
ing her tear-stained face against the
bars, she peered out into the starless
night. A slight rustling sound beneath
the window startled her. Sne took
step backward in sudden fear.
She listened intently. What was
that A whisper! She listened again.
This time there could be no doubt.
A voice came out of the darkness,
whispering, almost whistl.ng the name,
"Salvarez.''
Are you the daughter OF General
Salvarez!" came the voice.
"Yes, yea" she replied. I'VE are
prisoners. l thought you were also
taken"
$50 we were," replied Medworth,
"hut Tempest and l escaped"
"You will be captured" said Jacinta,
really alarmed for him. why do you
not remain hidden?"
II came to warn your father--to
save him." was the reply.
Jacinta's breath came hard. She
strained her eyes. and by the aid OF
what little light escaped through the
window she saw the handsome face of
the American upturned to hers.
ITO save my father!" she exclaimed.
Brave friend! But he Is already
safe"
'.No, he II not" said Medworth. Il
know what you mean. You promised
to marry Francisco"
II loathe hate despise him." whis-
pered Jicinta.s
Perhaps you dc" said Medworth, in
reply to her remark about Francisco.
.'sYou ought 10. Did he promise to save
your father II you consented to be his
wife,

COVERNME ENT PRINTING OFFICE

he new government printing office
will cost about $2,000,0 600 and it is said
that even after its completion it will
not be large enough to meet the de-
mands upon it. The new building will
be eight stories in height and it's floor
space will be about nine acres. The
hoors will sustain load of So ,0O0, 900
pounds.
The building will be constructed in
Euch a substantial manner that nearly
the entire space can be filled with paper
and books without injuring its stability
In any degree, says the Scientific Amer
lean. Access to the various floors will
be obtained by twelve electric eleva-
tors. The building will be lighted with
1000 incandescent lights. A refrigera-
ting plant will furnish cold, filtered
water on every floor for drinking pur-
poses.
A large crematory will destroy all
the refuse material and this will aid in
heating water, etc. 1t is hoped in time
that congress will appropriate mon
ey for modern typesetting machines,
but it is probable that when the census
is complete and the reports published
the equipment of the census printing
Office will revert to the government
printing Office.

The untimely death of Professor

enthusiasm and prodigal expenditure
Of energy and money placed him head

collection so nearly complete came from
exchanging valuable duplicates for

Now Walking on the WATER.

Two inventors are claiming attention OF
the scientific world just now in connec-
ton with kind of aquatic shoes. Jose
Antonio. a Mexican student in the depart
ment of mechanical engineering at Cor
nell, gave IA successful test of his device
by walking a mile and half on the sur
face of Cayuga lake. The shoes. which
closely resemble small boats. are con
structed of tin, > feet 3 inches long. IA
inches wide and Oh inches deep. Each
contains four separate air chambers, be-
sides the compartment for the foot. The
shoes are equipped with collapsible fans
which close as the wearrr steps forward
and then open to prevent the shoes from
slipping backward.
A somewhat similar footgear for water
walking is described in the Technical
World Magazine for August. and credited
to Lieut.. Arthur +. Sadler of the United
States volunteer lifc-saving crew at
Charesbank. Mass. Sadler claims to have
made a two-mle trip on his Shoes lie

Lazy men are scarce in New England
and lazy women are scarcer; never
theless, they exist. Libby" button
Dulverton was so lazy that even In
early youth she began to put on flesh
amazingly, and, naturally, the fattel
she grew the lazier she became. A
last she ceased going to church, be
cause she had not energy to struggl'
into sufficiently formal costume; in
deed, she was never seen in anything
less "free and easy" than a flowing
calico wrapper of the Mother Hub
bard type. Her friends demonstrated
Its because of the buttons" eX-
planned Libby, the easy tears starting
to her eyes, for she wept at trifles al
frankly as big baby. Its all be-
cause of the buttons. They kept a
busting and a-roling and me achas
ing, till it wasn't human nature to en-
dure! The Lord didn't build me fol
stopping and crawling; and besides, !
got tired Of sewing 'em ON and sewing
'em on, and them everlastingly pop

of pea shooters, every time / stirred Il
finger. And l should think folks might
make allowances for person al
,fiicted with flesh as l be, and not ex-
pect her to be buttoned up tight and
bouncing round spry.'
But the climax of Libby's laZines,
was reached when a neighbor, one fine
day in early spring, found her seated
on an overturned wheelbarrow near the
barn door, weeping large and copiou,
tears INFO basket of fresh eggs that
she held OH her knee. TO an inquiry
as to what was wrong, she replied
plaintively, dabbing her eyes:
ut amt anything but the eggs. I'm
20 tired of gathering 'em; and every
day there's more. Those hens, they
keep right on laying, faster and faster
till I'm downright discouraged. Seems
as If the fool creturs didn't understand
the meaning of moderation"
