That was all.
There was a point on the rim of
the little lake where its dark, deep wa
ters were confined by mighty wall Of
rock. 1t spanned a chasm a hundred
feet wide, and from its top one looked
down into a ravine that lost itself in
darkness, and at the bottom of which
two Of the slopes Of Ell Tres Diablos
came together and found a common
base
For weeks huge drill had been ber-
Ing Its way down through that wall Of
rock to the level Of the bottom Of the
lake. Two days after the drill had
been finally withdrawn the poems were
directed to gather up the mules and
drive them into the corral at the camp,
and to remain there until further or
ders. When all had reached the camp,
Harry, with pale face and set features
with Frank at his side, uncovered an
electric battery and pressed button.
A terrific explosion followed. A column
Of fire and smoke shot toward the zen
ith. A sound like crash of many
thunders rent the shuddering air.
The mountains rocked and trembled
as though smitten by mighty cata-
clysm. Wild beasts forsook their cav
erns and ran aimlessly through the
brakes and jungles. The poems and the
mules In the corral staggered and tren-
bled with fear. The old Indian wom-
an turned her face to the sun and
threw herself upon the earth with alb
ject terror. Harry hastened to her
side, and, raising her up tenderly,
said: ut is all over. There is no
danger; come with me and see the cat

The following morning disclosed an
empty basin where the water had been,
and now 1t is known among the In

In addition to clearing the lake Of

WoMAN'S ATTRACTIVE AGE.
ls the Maid of Sixteen Outrivaled
by the Young Womanf

LIZ the Maid of Sixteen Outrivaled
| by the Young Womanf
when we speak of the attra ctive
ness Of woman, we really mean the at
tractiveness of woman to man.
with men the question of when q
woman is most attractive is doubly
complicated, because it depends not
only on the woman, but on the taste of
the man himself. Not many years ago,
II this question had been asked, the
answer would have been unhesitatingly
made that woman is most attractive
between the ages Of 16 and 20 Most
OF the heroines Of classical fiction are
mere children.
1T must be confessed that, with rare
exceptions, the modern man prefers
something more sophisticated than
sweet 16, though 1t is undeniable that
the intelligent woman is at her best
when she is In her teens. This is easily
understood.
ALMOST all young creatures are beau
tiful, and heaven gives to even the
homeliest women a day of grave be-
tween 16 and 18, when she is pretty
with the prettiness of fresh cheeks and
dewy eyes and glossy hair
Twenty-three is an ideal time of the
clock for the woman of average intel
ligence and pulchritude, unless she
happens to be college bred. If she has
had the misfortune of acquiring the
higher education she is still top-heavy
with learning and self-esteem over hav-
Ing discovered the ancient Greeks and
Romans, and it requires ten years more
for her to find out that, for a woman
to be thoroughly charming she should
have had good education and forgot
ten it.
"For the woman, however who Is
meant to be human natures daily food,
no age is more attractive than %. She

'Her intercourse with the opposite
sex has a certain frankness and COM
radeship that is not the least Of her

Is deadly dangerous. Statistics show
that more women marry at % than at
any other age.
'~The bachelor woman Is at her best
at 80, because she Is consciously charm
ing. She has all the advantages with
which nature originally equipped her,
and she has added to them the frills
and furbelows Of art She has learned
to enhance her good looks by better
dressing and to put red shade on the
lamp and sit with her back to the light
She has also learned how to talk, and.
better still, how to be fascinating list.

Scattered as is the sunhower "tawny

rHp OLD GATE MADE OF p1cKErs

There was moonlight in the garden and
the chirr and dhirp Of crickets;
There was scent Of pink and peony and
deep syringa thickets,
When a-down the pathway whitley,
Where the fre9y glimmered brightly,
She came stepping, oh, SO lightly!
To the old gate made OF pickets.
There were dew and musk and murmur,
and voice that hummed low
snatches
OF q song, while there she hurried,
through the moonlight's silvery
patches,
To the rose-grown gate, above her
And her softly singing lover,
With its blossom tangled cover
And Its weight and wooden latches.
Whom she met there, whom she kissed
there, mid the moonlight and the
roses
With his arms who there enclosed her, as
tiger lily closes
Some white moth that frailly settles
On Its gold and crimson petals,
Where the garden runs to nettles-
No one knows now or supposes.
Years have passed since that last meet
ing; loves have come and loves
departed.
Sxill the garden blooms unchanging, there
Is nothing broken4hearted
In its beauty, where the hours
Lounge with sun and moon and show
ers,
Mid the perfume and the flowers
As In days when these two parted
Yet the garden and the flowers and the
cbeerily chirping crickets
And the moonlight and the fragrance, and
the wind that waves the thickets-
They remember what was spoken,
And the rose that was a token,
And the gentle heart there broken
BY the old gate made of pickets.
Smart Set.

CHICAGO GRAIN R

CHICAGO, june 1.-THE near approach
of harvest in Missouri and Kansas nerved
the bears in the wheat nit to a fresh raid
on the July delivery at the opening of the
market today which resulted In wide fuc-
t~uations in the price. Initial quotations
on. July were at 11sA to l1Ih, which was
isGA higher to 4GA lower. compared with
yesterdays closing figures. The marekt
was also adversely affected by bearish for
eign advices. which were reflected In a
decline of sd. to I'D. at Liverpool.
Shorts took advantage Of the break In
July and covered freely. resulting in q
considerable rally, the price for q time
holding steady around III. Fair demand
for the December option by commission
houses helped to steady the market early
The corn market was quite weak at the
start owing TO proft-taking in the July
delivery. Receipts were a trife larger
than expected. and weather conditions
were greatly improved. The opening on
July was unchanged to Is lower at IT'S
to Is. Later the price declined to 72skQ%.
Oats were weak on selling by cash in
terests. July opened bqM lower at $3.50
and sold off to IS.
Provisions were easy at the start be-
cause of a 5G10 decline in live hogs, but
the market rallied a trife. Prices at the
opening were 2A to 5 lower.
