If you turn to map Of Spain, you
will take note at its southern point and
running out into the strait Of Gibraltar
of a promontory which from Its posi-
ton is admirably adapted for COM
,manding the entrance of the Mediter-
ranean sea and watching the entrance
and exit of all ships. A fortress stands
upon this promontory, called now, as 1t
was called in the time Of the Moorish
domination in Spain, Tarlfa. The name
is of Moorish origin. 1t was the Gus
tom of the Moors to watch from this
point all merchant ships going into or
coming out of the midland sea and to
levy duties according to fixed scale
on all merchandise contained therein.
This duty was called from the place
where It was levied ''tarifa," or tariff.

"YOu Z" she exclaimed.

| that the simiacine plateau had been
finally abandoned there was no reason
| why any of the original finders should
come to LOango again.
And the creepers were pushed aside
by one who knew the method OF their
growth. A silver glory Of moonlight
fell on the veranda floor, and the man
of whom she was thinking stood be-
fore her.
Your she exclaimed.
"Yes.'
She rose, and they shook hands.
They stood looking at each other for
few moments, and thousand things
that had never been said seemed to be
understood between them.
"Why have you comep she asked
abruptly.
ITO tell you story"
She looked up with sort OF half
smile, as if she suspected some pleas
antry of which she had not yet de-
tected the drift.
"a long story" he explained, (which
has not even the merit Of being anus
ing. Please sit down again."
She obeyed him.
The curtain Of hanging leaves and
flowers had fallen into place again.
The Swallowed tracery was on her
| dress and on the floor once more.
He stood in front Of her and told her
his story, as Sir John had suggested.
He threw no romance into it, at
tempted no extenuation, but related
the plain, simple facts of the last few
years with the semi-cynical suggestion
of humor that was sometimes his. And
| the cloak of pride that had fallen upon
his shoulders made him hide much that
was good, while he dragged forward
his own shortcomings. She listened
| in silence. At times there lowered
round her lips a smile. 1t usually came
when he represented himself in a bad
light, and there was a suggestion of SUI
perior wisdom in it as If she knew
something of which he was ignorant.
He was never humble. 1t was not q
confession. 1t was not even an eX-
PLANTATION, but only story; very
lame story indeed, which gained moth
ing by the telling. And he was not
the hero of 1t.
And all came about as wise old Sir
John Meredith had predicted. 1t Is not
our business to record what Jocelyn
said. Women-the best of them-have
some things in their hearts which can
only be said once to one person. Men
cannot write them down; pictures can
mot print them.
The lame story was told to the end,
and at the end it was accepted. When
Sir Johns name was mentioned-when
the interview in the library OF the
great London house was briefly
touched upon-Jack saw the flutter OF
a small lace pocket handkerchief, and

The Hazel Tree.

A curious survival Of the days when
the magicians of Europe sought indie
fatigably for the philosophers stone Is
the superstition that attaches to the
hazel tree. The old alchemists used
to make their divining rods out of
hazel twigs, and they fOstered the be-
lief that 1t would mysteriously direct
Its owner to hidden treasures, If 1T was
manipulated with the absolute faith
that was required in all those occult
entertainments of the middle ages. As
time went on, the rod of jacob" as
branch Of hazel was universally
known, gathered new powers. Not
only would it lead to the discovery OF
buried boards, but it would also act
as an infallible agent in locating run
away servants and escaped criminals.
1t was sure guide to underground
springs as we'll, and was an unfailing
charm against the lightning.
