tastes led him to manly sports, and il
was said Of him that he had appeared
In the bull ring In disguise. He was
expert with all weapons, especially the
rapier.
Miguel loved Donna Anita. the
daughter of Spanish grandee. and
Anita loved him. Her family cons nt.

have been married within a very few
weeks when the Count de BariIon, a
wealthy Frenchman, appeared. took a
fancy to the girl and proposed for her
hand. Anita, whose father was dead,
was under the guardianship of an elder
brother, Fellppo. Felippo. thinking to
benefit himself through his sister. ar
ranged a scheme for getting rid OF
Miguel. Then Anita married the count
This was their plan: A few days be-
fore the wedding appointed to take

was In prison the Count and Countess
de Barillou were divorced The count
ess had discovered the conspiracy.
One day--it was eleven years after
Miguels misfortune-the Count de
Barillou entered a cafe In Paris. When
he was passing one Of the tables a
man put out his foot and tripped him,
The act was so plainly intended and
was seen by so many persons that the
count felt obliged to resent IT. The
stranger simply replied that he would
not deny him satisfaction. Barillou
could not choose but fight and met the
man who had insulted him the next
morning at daylight. The weapons
chosen by the stranger were rapiers,
and the two men were scarcely in pc.
sition when BariIlou fell, pierced to the
heart.4@The stranger disappeared, and
when the counts body was exposed
the wound instead Of being a slit was
found to be circular hole.

Wealth Of Our Nation.

In 1860 the United States held the
fourth rank among the manufacturing
nations, Great Britain, France and
Germany were ahead of US in the order
named. We passed Great Britain In
1880, and today the aggregate of our
manufactures equals that of Great
Britain, Germany and France combin-
ed. The value Of our products of man.
ufactures has doubled since 1888. The
value OF our exports and manufactures
has doubled since 1898. In the value
OF the property represented, manufac-
lures rank third among the great
activities of the United States, agri
culture being first and railroads being
second, but if the number of persons
employed agriculture is the only inter
est which leads manufactures. Manu-
features are ahead of agriculture IN
the value of the products. The money
invested in manufactures represents
an eighth of the value of all the real
and personal property in the country.
The United States manufactures 5 per
cent of all the manufactured farm
property of the world. The value of
the farm property of the United States
increased from 81, $50, 900, 90 in 1860 to
$50. 514. 5000, 90 in 1900, and it is about
