that he now glances around. The

and post are covered with bunting;
bright colors meet the eye in every

such spirited action occurred only
A few hours before has had all traces
of the bullfght- removed, and a por-
ton Of the crowd wanders over the
tsn-barl and wonders how it would
feel to be chased around the ring by
a savage beast with sharp horns, a
massive neck and steaming breath.
Already the vast amphitheater is
beginning to show quite an animated
appearance as the audience scatters to
various quarters.
Jack and Smithers, having secured
position that affords a good view
CT the whole expanse, stand there to
comment upon it,
Some parties are talking on the
right, and Jack catches the drift of
what they say. The leading speaker
is an American, but his two compan
ions seem to be, one French tourist,

The New Yorker has evidently at
tended the great entertainment given
BY the management the previous after
noon, and as he is still filled with the
to him, unusual spectacle of bull
fight, he describes it in snatches,
while the Partisan exclaims in won
der, and the Cuban mods his head APP
provingly, as though proud OF the fact
that his land may provide an amuse-
nent unequaled for desperate valor
and the shedding of gore since the
Gays OF Roman gladiators.

and makes up his mind on the spot
that the American is keen observer,
for there appears to be frail look
about the barrier which he really does
not like.
Smithers' thoughts appear to run in
something of the same groove.

them anything more than an artificial
glance.

Farming Great Business.

Viewed from all sides. farming is a
great business. And 1t is as a real.
live. substantial and serious business
that the farmers should regard and
conduct their affairs. Fortunately,
system is rapidly revolutionizing the
business. In the golden northwest
the successful farmers are managing
their estates like great manufacturing
plants. There are no leaks, no slip
shod methods They are plling up
magnificent crops and are making for
tunes. Through Kentucky and the
south. too, the farmers are beginning
to look upon their occupations as a
sure enough business and not as a
speculative pastime.

on the Way to the Plaza De Toros.
Smithers is secretly delighted with
the great nerve exhibited by his pat
ron. for If there is anything on earth
the secret agent admires, it is pure
grit
Havana is never thoroughly awake
until this hour of sunset, and tonight
the gay capital means to Guido every
previous effort The horrors of war
will be forgotten in the grandeur of
military carnival, and until the small
hours of the early morning merriment
must abound.
Aroused from his reverie by the
coming of servant, Jack is again led
to the dining hall, where he finds the
senorita awaiting him.
She looks more ravishingly beauti-
ful than before, and might charm the
most confirmed bachelor; but Jack
touches the cardboard in the pocket
over his heart, and loi before his
eyes appears an angelic face, brown
haired, rosy-cheeked, blue-eyed lassie,
and he feels secure. That is his tails
man; he fears no fetish in existence.
They become quite sociable over
the dinner
She describes some of the wonderful
sights he will see at the grand recep-
ton, and the ardor with which she
enters upon the subject declares that,
after ALL modern Joan of Arc as she
has proven herself, leading the patri-
cts into battle, Lola is but woman,
with all the love of her sex for gay
scenes, where music and jewels and
lovely damsels, as we'll as dashing
military gallants, hold court with Terp-
s.chore.
Then Smithers hobs up serenely
and proceeds to make himself quite
at home at the table of this most
singular Cuban senorita.
Jack is struck by the fact, and
shoots quick glance from one face
to the other, as a sudden suspicion
gsllops through his brain. Can it be
possible there is any relation between
these two? 1t would be remarkable,
indeed, after he found himself thrown
into the company of Lola at Santa Fe
and Smithers in Edinburgh, to have
them turn out father and daughter;
and yet. after all, not more singular
than some other chapters in his ex-
perience. AT least, mysterious tie
connects them that is more cogent
