cantina. But first she went into the gar den to see the little bird with the broken wing. It was dead.
 Bentley's letters came regularly and Carmencita always took them out to the garden to read them under the pome- granate tree. They were the first letters she had ever received. How she cher ished them. But Christmas time came and went and Bentley had not returned. Then for a month Carmeneita came empty-handed from the postoffce. Then letter came and that was the last. Carmencita took it out to the garden and there, seated on the stone bench, she read it through.
 "The time I spent in Mexico" it ran, lis like a pleasant dream. 1 sometimes wished l had never awakened. l con- fess you had me bewildered. The wine l drank at the Early Morning'-was 1t wine or was it potion? After l drank of it I remember I went into an en- chanted garden and there I saw beau- tiful fairy sitting on stone bench who played a guitar and smoked cigarettes. l looked about me and what I had once thought were mountains were only heaps of sand Then 1 woke up. l see things differently now; from the American point of view, so to speak. in which neither love nor witchcraft plays an im- portant part What we had intended, of course, can never be. The mountains are no longer heaps of sand. Neverthe- less my little summer in Arcadia shall always be a sweet remembrance to me.
 As Carmencita read her face paled and when she had finished it she let it fall into her lap and stared at the ground in front of her. She knew she was hurt, dreadfulyl hurt, but as yet she felt no pain.
 And then as the full realization of her sorrow came upon her and she felt the dull amending heartache, she cried out in her grief and ran and threw herself at the foot of the stone Virgin. "Oh, mer-

He came to find out. And now he knew that she was neither dead nor married. Then it must be that she did not care for him any longer. It was this thought that was making him grow weaker when he should be getting stronger And so the doctor had undertaken his mission to the Early Morning fin search of a restorative not in his medicine chest. And he had not come away empty-hand- ed
 Now he went and looked in at the open door of the room which Bentley oc- cupied. Carmencita was seated on the bed, bending over the sick man and holding his hand. They did not see the doctor at the door.
 'I wonder if she will forgive me for deceiving her?' he asked himself. Then he went quietly downstairs. In the hall he met Maria, his housekeeper, on her knees scrubbing the stone step. .

 "No, I'll be damned If I willi' exclaimed the doctor. Then he calmed himself. Lis ten, Maria" he said. Ut is my firm belief that 1t Is better to tell bushel of lies than to cause a peck of trouble. He smiled at the shocked face of his servant, then stepped over the doorstep into the garden.
 But Maria dropped her brush. her hands flew to her breast her uplifted eyes were tight shut, while her lips muttered in- articulately. She was praying for tue soul of her master.

 He needed no mora coaxing, but bent and kissed her.
 And, now, senor, which is the sweeter?"
 He smacked his lips reflectively; then laughing, ''the red wine of Matanzas, he said. lis not half so sweet as the lips of Carmencita. They are deleecious." And he kissed her again.
 All this did not escape the two Ameri- cans.

" ARMENCITA was barmaid at the Early Morning" a small ''canti-
 O ma" in the sleepy old mining town of Loretta, in Northern Mexico. You will find it at the end of the Calle de Aldama, just within the shadow of the old eathe- dral of Santa Rosala. It Is a cool, dark place with whitewashed walls and a stone floor. There are a few roughly made tables and chairs on one side of the room; along the other side is the bar, above which hangs a gaudly coored print of the Madonna. They are good Catholics at the Early Morning"
 This cantina is the favorite resort of the miners of Loretta. particularly the Americans. It is here they used to gather to play at cards and dice and to drink to Carmencita, who was generally ac- knowledged-in Lorta, at least-as the ''prettiest barmaid in all Mexico"
 But l must describe to you this Car mencita. She was a mere child in years not more than sixteen-but a woman grown for all that She had small, shapely figure, and a sweet, dark face, with laughing eyes and a red mouth. Her mother was dead She lived with her father, Gabriel Rodriguez, a Spaniard by birth, and an old Indian woman who had been her nurse. They occupied rooms above the cantna. She had been edu- cated at the convent of San Martinez. 'The Sisters" she would say, they were very kind to me. but, ah, senor," and she would shrug her shoulders. they were so devout. And there were no men at San Martinez save Padre Francisco. and he was fat and stupid. Here,' and she would sign contentedly, everything is quite different, Is it not so, senor2' And you would probably have agreed with her that here everything was in- deed, quite different.
 She had picked up little English from the miners and knew many of the coarse songs of the border These she sang in a quaintly broken fashion and in a

 About year ago Fitzpatrick added roller skating to his many other novelty acts for amusing the public. He has only one leg the other having been lost in railroad wreck, but he can perform practically all the feats that a two-legged man can perform. How he will skate on one leg is a matter that Is interesting to skaters in Birmingham.
 Among his feats this week will be skat- ing, including fancy stunts. trick bicycle rding, breaking clay ~igeons with rife while riding at full tilt, and numerous other acts, varying the programme nightly.
 On Wednesday. Thursday and Friday nights he will race Roberts, considered one of the three or four fastest skaters in Birmingham. Kilpatlck puts up purse himself for which he and the skater compete, he riding wheel
