again sat listening to DuntOn's full

It glided through one love sing after

Suddenly there came Il pause in the

the silence was unbroken.
Without stopping to weigh the JUS
tice Of motive or consequences, he
jumped up determinedly and made
dramatic entree into the music room.
Dunton, startled, Strengthened him

Katherine, looking into her eyes with
passionate pleading.

died away Katherine flung both her

BOLIVIAN INDIANS.
The Majority Are Semi-intoxioated
From the Cradle to the Grave.

The Indian women of Bolivia are
usually superior to their lords in actual
Intelligence; also in age, as rule.
They earn the larger share of their
mutual living and take the lead IN
most things.
AS recognized head of the house the
Bolivian Indian wife is much more
likely to thrash her comparatively
timid spouse than he is to i'll use her.
In the markets, when produce has to
be disposed of, she can drive far bet
ter bargain than he could; she can car
ry as heavy burdens, endure as much
prfvation and physical toll, labor, chew
as much coca and drink as much
strong drink.
Little or no money passes among the
Bolivian Indians, their mediums OF
exchange being whatever they may
raise or the labor Of their hands They
will eat when not hungry, drink when
not thirsty, sleep when not sleepy, any
where and any time when opportunity
offers, against the time Of need" as
they say. The majority are in state
of semi-intoxication from babyhood to
the grave, alcohol being used on every
pretext, freely as their means will al
