come. and I shall accept it gladly, for

on me on account of my sincere repent
ance Be happy, niece, with the husband
OF your choice. Senores, all accept my
thanks. Don Valentine, once more L
thank you. And now leave me, all, for
| no longer belong to the world, so let
me think of my salvation"
But one word" Valentine said. Gen
eral, l have forgiven you, and it is now
my turn to ask your pardon"
What can you mean?'
II have deceived you!"
Deceived me''
Yes; take this paper. The President
OF the Republic, employing his sovereign
right of mercy, has, on my pressing en-
treaty, revoked the sentence passed on
you. You are free"
His hearers burst into cry of admira-
ton. The general turned pale. He tot
tered. and for a moment it was fancled
that he was about to fall. A cold per-
spiration stood on his temples.
Fathers" he said turning to the
monks, lead me to your monastery.
'cAcIdI Guerrero IS uedu, anu LcASSLoA Ia
l shall be monk of your order"
Two days after the scene we have de-
scribed Valentine and his companions left
Mexico and returned to Sonora. On
, reaching the frontier the hunter, in spite
of the pressing entreaties of his friends,
separated from them and returned to the
desert.
Don Martial and Dona Anita settled
in Mexico near the Ralliers. A month
after Valentines departure Dona Helena
returned to the convent, and at the END
of a year, in spite of the entreatles OF
her family, who were surprised at so
strange resolution, which nothing ap-
parently explained, the young lady took
the VOWS.
When l met Valentine Guillois on the
banks of the Rio Joaquin some time after
the events recorded in this long story, he
was going with Curumilla to attempt a
hazardous expedition across the Rocky
Mountains, from which, he said to me,
with the soft, melancholy smile which
he generally assumed when speaking to
me, he hoped never to return.
| accompanied him for several days,
and then we were compelled to separate.
He pressed my hand, and followed by his
dumb friend, he entered the mountains.
For long time I looked after him, for
l involuntarily felt my heart contracted
by a sad foreboding. He turned round
for the last time, waved his hand in fare
we'll and disappeared round bend of
the track. l was fated never to see him
again.
Since then nothing has been heard Of
him nor of Curumilla. All my endeavors
to join them or even obtain news of them
were vain.
Are they still living? No one can say.
Darkness has settled down over these two
magnificent men, and time itself will,
in all probability, never remove the veil
that conceals their fate. For all, unhap-
PLY, leads me to suppose that they per-
ished in that gloomy expedition from
which Valentine hoped, alas! never to
return.

SOME JOKES ON ROYALTY.
(The End.)

Even the German Kaiser Cannot
Overave the Funny Man.
Rulers do not always escape the
practical joker, although royalty, as
rule, is impatient Of trlfing and sensi-
tive to ridcule. Even the Kaiser Is
ruffled, now and then, by an irreverent
jest at his expense.
What makes these jokes the funnier
to the world in general is the fact that
the joker has to beware the diverse
and dreadful penalties for lese majestic.
The monarch himself may not notice
them but there are always obsequious
officials who think to recover the royal
dignity by pursuing the humorist.
A couple Of years ago a German
paper, presumably for a joke, publish
ed a paragraph to the effect that the
favorite flower Of the Kaiser was a
red carnation. The paragraph was
copied in almost every paper in the
country, and when, few days later,
the emperor visited Aix-la Chapelle, all
those deputed to receive him wore red
carnations in their buttonholes.
The Kaiser frowned angrily, but no
one knew until next day, when some
one. little wiser than the rest, in
formed them that the flower was the
emblem Of his pet denominations, the
Social Democrats.
One of the most extraordinary
hoaxes on record Is said to have been
played upon the Dewan Lalla Moolraj,
a native potentate Of the Punjab, dur
ing the second Sikh War, in the win
ter of 184S-1S49. The British army,
commanded by Sir Hugh Cough, had
shut up the Dewan and his forces in
the fortified city Of Mooltan. One day
the besiegers were amazed by the
thunderous sound Of a most extrordin-
ary cannonade followed, not by shot or
shell, but by an assortment of miscel-
laneous provisions in a very fragmen-
tary condition raining into the British
lines
The Sikh chieftain, it was afterward
discovered. had found in the city a
large store Of canned meats, of the ma
ture of which he was completely ig-
norant. A native spy in British pay
gravely informed him that they were
powerful explosives, and, hence, for
some days the British camp was greet
ed with showers of Strasburg pates
and other more or less mangled but
perfectly eatable timed food

INSANITY SHOWS
SLIGHT INCREASE.
Number of Inmates in Wisconsin Asy-
lun.s Rises from 1855 20 $685.
Forty Per Cent. Women.

MADISON, Wis, July 29.-[Special.l
Whether insanity is increasing in pre-
portion to population is a question, but
the numbers in the state and county in
situations have increased from 1886 to
1868 within the past year, according
to the statistics just filed with the state
board of control. OF these figures about
60 per cent. of the inmates are men and
40 per cent. women. The average ratio
of insanity is l to about every 49, peO-
pie.
Number of Insane.
Thirty-two counties of the state have
hospitals for the care of these unfor-
tunates. On June 30, there were 1892
in county asylums; $40 in the Milwaukee
hospital for the insane: 500 in the state
hospital for the insane at Mendoza and
632 in the Northern insane hospital at
Oshkosh.
Secretary Tappins of the state board
of central says the number of insane,
who are being cared for in county and
state hospitals, is rapidly increasing,
but he says this is not to be taken as an
indication that insanity is increasing in
proportion to population. In recent years
the methods of care for the insane have
become so humane that people, who
were formerly cared for in homes, are
being sent to institutions.
Chippewa Home Crowded.
At the present time TAT people are be-
ing cared for in the home for the feeble

tuition is overcrowded. There are over,
1000 applicants pending admission at the
