MExICo's PECULIAR TREE.-Visitors
to Mexico and other tropical countries
often have their attention called 10
the strangling fig" a tree that COM
mences it's growth as an epiphyte that
is, one form Of plant that grows
perched on another) far up on the
trunk or among the branches OF an
other tree, usually on a palmetto or
some of the kinds of palms. The roots
of the strangling tree extend downward
around the host tree to the ground.
gradually joining together, making
tubelike mass of roots sometimes as
much as six feet or more In diameter
When the attacked tree is a palm
death to it Is caused not so much py

shading out it's branches by the at
tacking tree.
When the attacked tree is an oxygen
THAT is, one with wood and bark, the
attacking roots bind so tightly as to
cause a stoppage of the flow of sap. AS
the sap of a tree is really its food,
changed by the leaves so that 1t can
be used and the flow Of food Is thus
stopped, the attacked tree is really
starved" to death. So death to the
attacked tree Is caused either py
smothering or by starvation or by
both.
The peculiar manner in which the
hattened roots extended down and
around the tree gives them the ap-
pearance Of some thick, slow-moving
material running down the tree.

CHAPTER XII.
An Offer of Marriage.

Mignon stood before the mirror
dressing for her first party.
Is there a fairer sight under the sun
than young girl in the first flush OF
her beauty, the first knowledge of her
own power? Never had that brass
framed Venetian glass, though 1t was
as old as Rookwood itself, reflected a
lovelier image She was dressed in
white lawn, but the masses of costly
Valenciennes, which fairly covered her
gown, made it anything but simple.
She wore a charming hat of white os-
trich tips. but no ornaments, save
great cluster of tea roses, and she
needed nothing more, for no jewels
could have enhanced the splendor OF
her golden hair, the velvety darkness OF
her seal-brown eyes. the downy soft
ness of exquisite skin.
1t was only lawn party. given by
Philip WYE in honor of his niece; but
to it all the elite of the Dale had been
bi6den, and it was to mark an epoch
in Mignons life.
You will do very well, my dear"
sighed Aunt Elnor, and she kissed the
western girl with yearning tenderness.
Il call that tame praise, indeed
said Maud LOTUS. why, Mignon, you
are as lovely as one of Watteau's pict-
ures. Captain Shirlaw must look we'll
to his peace of mind today"
Maud had donned a lovely mauve
costume 1t was her first party, as
well as Mignon's, and both girls were
fully alive to the Importance of the
occasion.
Il do not mean to wear the willow
for Guy tonight" proclaimed Miss Lof-
tus. He can have gone to Maine for
no other purpose than to amuse him.
self: so. by way of retaliation, l shall
dance and be merry here at Rookwood.
The wide, closely shaven lawns OF
the old house were as green as living
emerald. All the proper accessories to
a garden party were there-perfect
weather, flowers, fountains in full
flush. a band from town. exquisite toi-
lets. a grand marquee, gay with hags
| and streamers, a platform for the dan
GERS. and cold meats, pate de foie gras'
boned turkey, ices, claret-cup and all
sorts of French delicacies for the hun
CRY.
Captain Shirlaw was there, with his
rich. bronze beauty and bold, ardent
eyes. That deformed Hercules, Lis
penard. was there, with his pale, satur-
nine look. Cyril WYE was there unoo-
trusive. but watchful as a lynx. Scores
of the summer dwellers of the Dale
were there, conspicuous among whom
were Nina Berkely and her student
brother. Reginald: the poetess in an
aesthetic sulphur colored gown, with
long, wrinkled gloves Of the same hue
and amber beads for ornaments, and a
branch of day lilies in her hand-the
latter gave her the appearance of a
medieval saint
The dancing pavilion was embowered
in hot-house palms and rare shrubs,
heavy with parti- i-colored bloom. Mig

DAUGHTERS OF CHIN
BY Eta w. PIERCE

going hither and thither, to purchase
or sell cattle. Mignon and I, in obedi'
ence to instructions received from hin
long ago, have always sent, and Still
send, our letters to Denver, where there
was, and still is, L suppose, an agen
of Gilbert's who delivers them to my
brother wherever the latter may be
| 1t is certain that he receives our let
ters I telegraphed to Martin to search
Denver over for Gilbert's agent, whose
name, unluckily, 1 do not know, and
have never known. Martin did so, but
failed to find trace Of such person.
Mysterious, by Jove! Have you told
Mignon?"
Certainly not. 1t is best that foi
the present, she should know nothing
Martin reached home yesterday, no
wiser, may say. than when he went
away"
The son looked attentively at the
father.
What does your legal mind make
out of all this? Is my Uncle Gilbert
playing some deuced double gamer"
Philip Wye avoided the others gaze
Il canont say, but one thing is GER
tain-he is not the same Gilbert who
committed wife and child to my care
eight years ago; he is no longer a
wealthy cattle king. Mignon has re-
iected you-foolish child! Very we'll
Do not press your suit further until
we can get at the bottom OF this very
strange matter-until we know wheth-
er Mignon is an heiress or otherwise
until We can discover my Brother Gill
bert's motives for the disgracefully Sc
cret course which he seems to have
pursued for years, both with mis-
daughter and with me. Either he has
lost both his mind and his morals or
he is playing a game, not only Of the
double kind, but so deep as to be be-
yond your conception. In either case,
suspicion Of anything wrong must be
carefully kept from Mignon. She
adores her father-if she guessed half
that Martin has told me, she would i'm
mediately start to find him, in the face
of every known or unknown danger.
Above all, Cyril, cease, for the present,
to think of marriage with your cousin.
1 consider her refusal of your hand
the most fortunate thing that ever be-
fell you"
A sinister gleam shot into Cyril Yves
pale eyes.
MY opinion differs from yours on
that point, my dear father. 1 consid-
err her rejection a deuced shabby thing,
and she has yet to pay dearly for 1t!
Your prudence, no doubt, is wise and
commendable, but there is one fact
that I wish you to know. now and
here. l am determined to have Mig
non-to settle my long account with
her in my own way. and" dashing his
hand violently down on the library ta-
BILE, nothing shall turn me from my
