Legally Dead
tOriginal.l

tOriginall
 In the days when Mexico was in a chronic state of revolution Signor Her rero lived on his hacienda doing his pest to avoid being entangled In any Of the various strifes that succeeded one another fer the possession of the government, for tn be on the wrong side meant death. Dona Marina, Her rera's eldest daughter, was courted by signor Juan Bustamente, neighbor- Ing hacienda owner who had done a great deal to establish the government 'neh in power He was more than .wlce Marlna's age and was especially uisagreeable to her. But she was urged ny her family to accept him on lhe ground that if she declined him ne might seek revenge by impugning ner fathers loyalty to the government
 hut Dona Marina loved Philippe Mehdoza, the son of a neighboring planter Urged to give him up for puStanente, through fear she consent eu' put not for long She confessed to nuslamente her love for Mendoza and oessed him to release her. He did so "' oiiee With many expressions of grief anu "lshes for her happiness. By this S0nse Marina turned what had been .eareu Tor her father against her lover. ,nus'amente, thinking that if he got nenuoza out of the way Marina might s.' become his wife, secretly accused uls rival of plotting with one who was a"own to be fomenting a new revolu- uoh' Mendoza was arrested and taken "o one knew where.
 As soon as the news of the arrest ,eached the Herreras, not suspecting DuS.alnente, Marina implored him to hs, e HIS Influence with the president in 'enalf Of her lover. He promised to do ~ to ana set off at once to the capital os- voa rensioiy for the purpose. He knew hls well that Mendoza would have executed before his arrival. for he w. ru 50 arranged with the government. "nat he wished was to conceal his v'.a %n part in the murder and gain credit in ,n Marina that would benefit his suit in the future.
 is law in Mexico that one ti,, I.u.eu s shall be left where he falls an,o .'iehds or relatives come and take do,a, ds 'ne body for burial. But at Men c,aIa execution there was no one to ron n the body. Bustamente had ar nro'',N mat he be taken to distant eyooe .nee rom which the news of his his sn'l o', would be long in reaching

Two Cakes in One Pan.

A good cake recipe for small fam. fly is the following: One cup of sugar. one-half cup of butter, two eggs, three fourths of cup of sweet milk, two teaspoons baking powder, and two cups sifted flour.
 Pour one-half of this into we'll greased and foured tin and to the rest of the dough add one teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger and one half cup each of raisins and currants; stir thoroughly and pour into the other half of tin.
 When baked and cool cover with any icing desired and the result will please. as one has two kinds of cake with but little work. It will run together a trifle at the center, but not enough to waste. If one prefers a strip of greased paper can be placed between and prevent any mixing.

LiberIan Ice Cream.

A new industry Tn the form of an fec and ice cream manufactory has been started in Monrovia under the proprietorship of one of the attaches to the Liberian commission. The ma chine is of American manufacture, from the New Brunswick Refrigerator company, and has capacity of one ton. It turns out 800 pounds of ice and ten gallons of ice cream daily. It is principally an ice cream machine, but ice is such rarity that the projector decided to experiment in its manufac- ture. This Is the first effort of its kind in Liberia, and the demand for ice, especially for fever-stricken sub iects, influenced the experiment. The manager declares that the result has been encouraging and will lead to the ultimate enlargement of the plant. with cold storage attached. This en- terprfse has filled long-felt need in Monrovia, especially among the in- valids of foreign birth. The price of ice at present is four cents per pound and the price of ice cream per gallon is $40. Under the circumstances, this luxury is such treat in this tropical region that nobody ever stops kO consider tho nr'nA

Mendoza was taken out in the gray of the morning and was stood up be- fore eight soldiers, who at the word of command fired volley at him. He fell. The commander of the firing party took look at the body and saw that 1t had several wounds in the thorax and two fin the head. any one of which might be expected to kill him. The sol diers were marched away and a writ ten report handed in that Philippe Mendoza was dead
 But Mendoza was not dead. Notwith- standing his wounds after the firing party had marched away he revived For time he supposed that he had awakened in another world. Yet there above him was the same blue sky he had lived under, and he could hear cat tie lowing. Making an effort, he raised himself on his elbow. looked about him and down on his blood stained cloth got up and walked several miles to hospital.
 He could not keep the secret that he had been executed, and word soon reached those who had been charged with his execution. Fearing that they would be blamed for neglect of duty, they proposed to shoot him again. tst before they could agree upon this course the news of the strange case reached the governor of the province. He had been on the bench. and the only thing In the world he respected was the law. He took the matter un- der consideration, at last deciding that Mendoza had been executed, had been reported dead and was therefore dead. That Is, he was dead in law. Therefore those who had been ordered to execute him had nothing further to do with him. He was without legal existence in the republic of Mexico. No further report of the matter need be forwarded to the government, for there was noth ing to be said about one who had been reported legally dead.
 One evening as Signor Bustamente was returning from visit to the Her rera hacienda he heard voice from bushes beside the road ordering him to halt. He stopped, and man step ped Into the road short distance be- fore him. His cheeks were hollow, his lips were thin. his eyes were wild, his face was white. Bustamente saw his rival. or what he considered his rivals ghost
 Are you of the living or the deadT'
 "I am dead-legally dead. But that you shall not again have me executed I am a firing party to execute you"
 The ghost raised a rife and shot his enemy dead.
 When Mendoza appeared at the Her rera hacienda no one there knew what had become of him.. He told the story

Modern HeIens,

If I could be a bachelor and with the bachelors stand. A diamond in my necktie and . glovs upon my hand If I could feel the freedom that some fellows feel I know The little path I'd follow, and the little lane I'd go, In dreamy lands of venture I would seek to win those queens The lithographic ladies in the low. priced magazines! Divinely sweet was Helen, and frail Laura's form of grace No doubt attracted worship, as did Cleo patra's face; But they are dust and shadow. and our ideals take a turn For modern incarnations on whose lips the roses burn Those dainty, slender creatures, smiling sweetly in their teens, The Photographic ladies of the low-priced magazines!

Soon after all this occurred new leader of the party op- posed to the government arose. march ed to the capital, took it. executed every member of the government and was proclaimed president. He was none other than Mendoza.
 When it was found that the new president was strangely given to par dOning malefactors the people said, How can one who is legally dead kill others?' But in this his wife Marina had a hand.
