suns rays, it is found beneath the
faint moonbeams, ever the friend of
lovers from time immemorial.
So they sight the lights of the High
lands, and the electric fire on Lib
erty's statute welcomes them to the
harbor of New York. A day spent
here, and again the cry is, "All aboard
for Mexico!" They speed away across
the continent, from New York to St.
Louis, thence to Texas, and at Nuevo
Laredo find themselves on Mexican
soil. Now it is on to the capital.

has already cropped out. While en-
route the train on the Mexican Ma
tional was stopped by band OF BAN
dts about the ranges of the mountains
south of San Luis Potosi, who would
have run things to suit themselves,
only for an accident that had sent
regiment of Mexican lancers on this
particular train. to attend some man
euvers at the capital.
The soldiers made it hot for the ras-
Gals, and our two Americans Joined
them with enthusiasm, for they had
not seen service for some time. or
course the bandits fed in consterna-
ton, convinced that they had caught
the stick by the end that had been
in the fire, and the train was allowed
to go on its way in peace.
Dick is bordering over that event
now-he is positive he saw one OF the
leaders OF the bandits holding hur-
ried conversation with Senior Lopez
who joined their train at Monterey
Just before the retreat was sounded.
and although he has not mentioned
the fact to the others, he thoroughly
believes this whole affair must have
originated in the scheming brain or
the Mexican hidalgo-that these ras-
cally contrabandista and outlaws are
in the employ of the Lopez conspira-
tors.
This, then, is but a shadow which
coming events cast-it will be fol-
lowed by darker and still more serious
ones, for Don Lopez has sworn a SOL
emn oath to wrest the balance OF
power from Pauline Westerly, and
manage the great mine that was for
merly the sole property of the Lopez
estate.
Now, Dick is a peculiar man in his
way-opposition is apt to arouse the
mule in his nature, and make him I'M
yielding. Something about this cow
ardly combine against a woman stirs
his blood and makes it fairly boil.
"She must win-she shall win, II
I have to shed every drop of blood IN
my body for herr" he says, under his
breath, but he means every word OF
it.
Dick is sauntering along a quiet
street nova couple of young ladies'
on a balcony fiirt their fans and seek
to attract his attention, but he seems
to be too preoccupied for such busi-
ness. He passes a church, that OF
Santa Teresa People are coming out
it is some special service, for early
morning is usually the time when the
worshippers assemble, consisting Tor
the most part of women.
Some one brushes against him
then comes low cry from woman's
lips-the vail is thrown aside; he sees
Juanita.
You have arrived in safety, Senior
Dick-I was afraid some accident
high happen to you," she says, laying
one hand on his arm.
Some rascally pirates did stop the
train, but you see they hadn't counted
on our having the military chaps
aboard. We joined forces and
suuelched them. Your worthy father
didn't seem at all afraid of them. for
| saw him talking with the leader
She drops her eyes in confusion.
"The saints forgive him; he Is very
fierce in his passions, and he hates
YOU, senior, AS the rattlesnake does the
foot that disturbs it when in the act
of charming it's prey, and like that
same sepent, he will eagerly strike the
offending heel. Beware, Senior Den

THE TOBACCO TRUST CODE.

Just before election of the New York papers pub
lished portion of the secret code of the tobacco trust
which to rank outsider if only vaguely familiar
with the methods Of the trust, is not wholly without
humor
For instance if they should wire you Advent maize %
that would mean, 'Advse of whereabouts Of mayor
What do you suppose they need cipher word for
''mayor for?
: Then, if the wire read "Alembc use drollish,' it
would mean eff total amount is not enough two
thousand dollars"
4 Funny, isn't it?
Then they might add "Algebra," which says, "Use
full amount to accomplish satisfactory resuts.'
But if the legislature hard headed you would wire
'HawthoTne," which cries, "Help!' and the trust
promptly teegraphs the distinguished congressman the
single word, Obtuse" which MEANS 81 shall be obliged
to stop payment on check"
Obtuse, indeed!
The trust even became biblical as "Selah" for care
you quite sure?" and 'Anont for eff bill cannot be
held in committee until arrive, telegraph what action
necessary"
"Malady' means 'What is the meaning?"; "Scram-
ble means Success assured; "Tomtit' reads Do not
think you are treating right" oh fudgeD while the
last word in the code is probably the eloquent of all

me know the worst at once!"

BETTER GOVERNMENT PROBLEM.

The already well developed movement to insure selec
ton and election of the best city administration material
obainabe next spring must command the cooperation OF
every right minded citizen regardless OF politics.
Started independently the determination to consider
candidates for city offices only the basis of ability and
integrity is certain expand until it will also influence
party organization and the Spokane public may thus be
offered the choice of good to vote for on all
tickets.
That happy cnsummation, however, depends for fulfill
upon the strength of purpose and independence OF
the individual voter The political machine system is not
easily put out of business. 1t is always busy in victory

the slightest evidence Of weak spot.
There is such thing eight hour scale or hol

Herein lies a wealth of valuable suggestion for the
forces lining up for better city government in Spo
Kane. The campaign to be successful must be organized
quietly, and pursued Systematically and reenessy The
average civic reform movement is frequently naugurated
with shout that thunders along the town for time, but
descends soft and harmless echo before by election
day. The ''machine' understands this fatal popularity
perfectly and figures it in the line of defense But the cool
determination Of intelligent united citizenship carries
crushing force that puts the ward boss flight every time
it is eXerted.
At the time it must be kept in mind that
interest and unfncing purpose must not be permitted to
flag in any degree to swing the momentum that makes for
q cleaner city. It's Of keep busy all the time
When the reform movement is fairly launched the
hardest opposing force it will encounter will be corpora
