Kent the Secret.

Miss Mary s. Anthony. the sister of the famous Susan B. Anthony, was talking about the old, old accusation against woman that she cannot keep secret. "A woman" said Miss An thony. "can keep an important secret as well as a man. Tho secrets she rel veals are slight and harmless ones, such as any man would reveal.

brutality which must disappear when Spain follows her northern neighbors in the adoption of universal education. At present her percentage of illiteracy is disgracefully large.
 While Spain has constitutional government and goes through the form of electing a legislative body. her cleo tions do not seem to be characterized by the freedom and fairness that att tend elections in northern Europe. There is. however. in this country. as In others, a growing spirit of reform which Is already demanding more schools and less religious interference in the government. Much IS expected of the present king. both because of the independence which he has mani fested and because the new queen comes from England. where parlia- mentary government has for centuries been an established fact.
 Before leaving Madrid word should be said in regard to the Toledo ware-iron and steel inlaid with gold. It resembles somewhat the Damascene work of Japan and the old inlaid work of Damascus and Constantino2le. The far-famed Toledo blade was not less dangerous in war because 1t was or namented with delicate tracery of gold.
 nights ride brought us to Cor dova, once the Moorish capital of Spain. It had been a city of some note under the Romans before the Christian era and the Moors under took to make 1t western Mecca for the Mohammedans. There are still to be seen two gates and a wall which were built by the Romans and a bridge which rests upon the founda- tions laid with its massive arches and ponderous piers Is interesting for other than historic reasons as 1t gives evil dence of the fact that the Moors were quick to appreciate and to follow the example of their predecessors. In the stream near the bridge are three grist mills dating from the middle ages. one of which still supplied flour to the neighborhood.
 The old mosque. however, Is the over shadowing object of interest in Cor dova. and in itself well reDays a visit to this city of narrow. winding streets and Oriental appearance. The ground plan of the mosque covers about 240.000 square feet-nearly as much as St. Pe- ters at Rome. but one-third of the space is occupied by a court. All we'll regulated mosques have a court where the worshipers assemble and purify themselves before entering upon their devotions. The mosque was some four centuries in building. one ruler after another extending its limits in order

GETTING RLD OF DURGAN
BY WINTHROP SARGENT.

(Copyrfghted, 1sos.by Homer sprague)
 'Durgan again?" laughed Preston, as he came up the steps.
 "Again?" repeated Colville. "'Again premises some interruption. Durgan has never ceased to be a thorn in my flesh since I moved in here
 'IAwyers do not seem to be of much use in this case" chuckIed Preston, as he shook hands. "Is Edith inside?" '.In the library" replied stephen Sol vile. But look here Jim do you sup pose that you can do anything? I've epent thousands through Curtis to oust Duran. and 1t does no good. You spoke as if you might pe better at the game"
 ''What's in itT' asked Preston. ,
 Fifty thousand" was the prompt response.
 That's not the fee Curtis Baird was working for" suggested Preston. Il should be worth as much"
 For a moment Colville hesitated. It had been his ambition ever since Edith had been born to unite the Baird and Colville families and fortunes through the girls marriage to Curtis Baird. The two fathers had been chums when they were both young men. and there had existed a half promise that the union should create a closer bond. Curtis Baird was only too willing to fall in with the scheme, but Jim Preston had always stood in his way since he had first como to Milton. Edith had many modern ideas of matrlmony.
 When Preston was still boy Tn knickerbockers. he and Edith Colville and Curtis Baird had been playfel- lows, with no thoughts of the rivalry that was to come later on. Then Curtis had taken a law course. while Jim had zone into business after leaving col lege. When Baird returned to establish a. practice, the old frienaship had been sruptured beyond repair and the two mon had become open rivals.
 Bafrd's first and most remuneratlVe ease had been the Durgan matter. Durran was a runty little 1rishman who occupied a corner of the Colvilie estate. At one time, when there were more farms and not estates, his plot had been a part of the adjoining farm. Then a road had been cut through, leaving a narrow strip of land. and Colyflie had negotiated TOT the proper tv. Trouble had arisen with the owner ever the price, and while Colviile was still negotiating in his usual diploma tic fashion, Durgan stepped in. paid the price. and one morning. strollne

head up above the surface to announce, by
his actions, that he is not quite dead
one Just yet in the line of batting. He
closed last week with a percentage for the
