amount was sufficient to lift the mort
gage, and Wallace offered to loan it
to his host without security. The only
condition he made was that Don Ra-
fael should thereafter listen to the adj
vice of his sister, dismiss the vampires
who We're preying upon him and en-
deavor to Straighten his affairs.
Wallace did not doubt that the man
he had offered to help would thank
fully accede to his terms. He was dis
appointed. Don Rafael showed a
thorough appreciation of the kindly
interest that prompted the offer, but
pride, the trait that dominated the Al
varados, prevented his accepting the
loan.
II owe you world of thanks" he
said, "but an Alvarado cannot accept
a favor. What would these, my ances-
tors, think of me if l should accept
money from my sisters lover?"
Wallace argued with him, pointing
out to him the ruin that was about to
fall upon him and its influence on his
future life, all to no purpose. He
could not break the mans pride. He
was obliged to go to Dona Isabel and
tell her that he had made the offer,
but had failed to effect its acceptance.
That night Wallace was suddenly
awakened from sleep by hearing a
noise in his room as if some one had
stumbled against piece Of furniture.
He listened, but all was quiet. Match
es were on stand beside his bed, and
he struck one. Its light revealed Don
Rafael standing near the chamber
door with a bag in his hand, which
Wallace recognized as his property.
1t contained the gold he had offered
his host-gold that pride had prevent
ed him from accepting as loan. He
was now attempting to steal it.
By the brief burning Of a match
Wallace saw the thief, and Don Rafael
knew that he had been detected. The
match burned out, and before Wallace
could light another Don Rafael rushed
to the bed and plunged a dagger into
his guest and benefactor's breast.
Then Dona Isabel, bearing a light,
rushed into the room, followed by 9TH
ers Of the household. Throwing her.
self on the body of her lover, she
cursed her brother as murderer and
thief
Alvarado fed, thinking that he had
killed his guest and his sisters lover.
Wallace recovered, and both he and
Dona Isabel, whom he afterward mar
ried, tried to find him, but in vain.
Alvarado turned bandit and under an
other name became the terror of Mex
leo. Finally he was killed, and his
body was brought to his hacienda.
Then for the first time his sister knew
that the man she had often heard of
as an outlaw was her brother.
Probably there is not another such
example Of family pride

Those who have tried wild fowl
shooting know how difficult a matter
it is to approach within range without
disturbing the birds. The fox's only
weapon is his mouth, and the range
is necessarily short, but for reynard
it proves all sufficient. His knowledge
of the habits of his victims prompts
him to suitable lurking place among
the withered rushes in clump Sc
Iected to hide the contour of his form
and to match the color of his coat as
far as possible. Lurking there, almost
wholly immersed in water if need be.
he waits his opportunity and seizes it.
Well may his cunning be proverbial,
for there is no animal or bird on which
he preys that can battle his pursuit.
Even the prickly armor of the hedge
hog proves an inadequate protection
