No one could tell just how it hap
pened, or when, but at the last count
the two carbines spoke simultaneously
and Camilla sank at the feet of the
brigand chief with bullet in her
breast. De Gomara's S right arm was
perforated by the ball from the enc
my's detected weapon. With a strange
cry, Moreno stopped and lifted the
stricken girl. Then he looked across
the gorge.
"a truce, gentlemen" he said; 1.-The
lady's hit. "Will Senor de Gomara
please come over? My men will guide
him and protect him.
Moreno walked down the narrow
cliff roadway and then disappeared in
a rude shanty on the mountain side
When the hacendado entered a few
minutes later he saw the brigand on
his knees beside the cot, the dying
girls arms around his neck. Her eyes
were looking into his with pathetic
devotion.
'They made me do it, my dear
Moreno" she murmured; thou wilt
forgive poor Camilla, who never
ceased to love thee?"
The brigand run his hand through
the tawny tresses and whispered some
thing no one else heard. The dark
eyes smiled; then closed forever. For
a moment or two the hunted man
knelt with bowed head. Then he arose
and looked into the face of the one
with whom he had fought.
Her last words were of love and
forgiveness" he said, with curious
trembling of the voice. Il imagine
she mistook me for you"
The hacendado's eyes frightened.
Heaven be praised!" he exclaimed;
Il feared she loved you"
Not likely" returned Moreno, with
affected carelessness. Il had heard
of her in-in general way-that's all.
Her dust is yours"

Camilla.
BY EDGAR WHITE.

She was such little thing, and SC
used to bow her tawny head at the
caprices of earth, air and sky, thai
nothing was further from her parents
minds than her reluctance when the
lord of San Jose valley condescended
to ask his hardworking poems for
their daughter. Just why Camilla's
glowing, black eyes should flush with
tears instead of shine with delight at
the great honor was beyond the di
vination of the star readers, and she
never told. The marriage of the
daughter meant the liberty of the par
ents. The big hacendado had sworn
1t. He was a good man and would
keep his word. Camilla knew that
The prelado who was to perform the
ceremony had called to congratulate.
He told her any maiden in the prov
ince would be rightly proud to win
the love of de Gomara, and left her
quite dutiful.
The wedding was fine affair.
Looking like some glorious bird of
the tropics. the little bride smiled
sweetly beside her lordly husband and
extended soft white hand to we'll
wishing friends. Military men from
the Alajuela mountain garrison
formed fair proportion of the guests,
and their smart uniforms blended
artistlcally in the sparkling panorama
under the chandeliers.
The perfume of rare flowers, the
languorous melodies of CASTLE and the
subtle magnetism of bright eyes that
outshone their own diamonds chased
the glad hours away. In groups OF
two to ten the guests were scattered
about the verandas and the softly
lighted lawns. AS they walked side
by Side under the shadow of the date
palms the young husband was. gently
breathing the story of his first love
to the starlit face beside him. In
words OF boyish enthusiasm he
sketched the rose-strewn way along
the velvet path of life. She listened
as a glad child, and for answer raised
her warm. trembling lips to his. A
tall streak of fire shot out from the
sullen mouth of Cartago volcano.
ITS the birth of love-" murmured
the adoring husband; its good
omen, sweetheart"
Camilla assented, her coral lips
showing the white gems beneath.
They had reached the far end of the
lawn. where de Gomara stopped and
raised his hand to the star-decked
heavens.
May thy richest blessings"
Quicker than the stealthy action of
a tiger two dark-eyed men came out
of the shadows and. leaping upon the
hacendado. gagged him and bound his
hands. Then as swiftly and as noise
lessly they gently picked up Camilla
and gently passed her across the
hedge, where a sinister crew of dark
figures awaited, like vampires of the
swamps.

The music and the dance went on:
the stars glowed out of the dark
canopy and now and then Cartago dis

Then discovery was made by a pair
of promenaders. The stricken hacen-
dado was released and the military
gentlemen mounted in hot haste.

So cried the lord of San Jose valley
as he climbed into the saddle on his
great ba X stallion and led the way.
A like reward had been standing
against the bandit captain by federal
warrant since he had relieved the
bank at Alajuela some moons back,
and there were in addition captaincles

A EARNED Out Highway.

The railroads, by all the laws of the
nations, is quite as much highway
as is wagon road. But instead of
levying direct taxes for keeping up
the rail-hignways (as do the people OF
Prussia, Austria. Switzerland ami
other countries) we Americans farm
out the power of taxation to private
individuals organized as a railroad
corporation. The old kings farmed out
the power Of ordinary taxation to thei:
favorite barons in the same way. The
instrument that conveys this power
upon railroad company is charter"
1t gives the railroad company the right
to operate the rail-highways and to

"a 1t. Railroad presidents and direc-
tr.a ere thus by appointment made the
people. For railroads are not now and
never were, private property like a
farm or a grocery store. They are
highways.
The first essential of tax is that
it shall be just. To establish that
point the Anglo-Saxon people have
shed rivers of blood; our English an
cestors revolted against the old barons
who taxed both unequally and evtor-
tionately. Our American progenitors
tossed the British tea into Boston har-
Dor and fought from Lexington to
Yorktown to establish the principle of

Twins Aged seventy-one.

Meyer and Isaac Abrahams, prob

brated their seventy-first birthday and
the fifty-seventh anniversary of their
arrival in Chicago, says the Chicago
Chronicle. They declared that they
were as hale and hearty. also as lively,
as they were in the sos. I'VE came to
