Not that the mourners were glad that Hermano Felipe had at last said dios to them. Far from 1t. But with the sons of Castillo and Montezuma any occasion Is fit to be honored with merriment.
 All went well until the mourner. who had mourned loudest. quietly dis appeared Bye and bye the merri- ment and the lamentations which had alternately been indulged in. grew somewhat stale to the palates of the walkers. The cups were set aside and everybody repaired to the nortuary chamber to bid the deceased gooi- night Horror met their sight. The chamber had been Q bower of flowers. the coffin had been nicely decked and candelabra threw a flickering light over the whole. But now. flowers, candelabra, coffin and most of the yestInents of poor Hermano Felipe had gone. Instead of reposing peace fully in the wooden contrivance that was to be his last resting place. Felipe sat in a chair His widow looked al him and fell into a swoon Of some duration, while the other female mourners gave way to mysteries.
 Even the men did not feel very re- assured, but being ombres of steel nerves they began to search every nook of the house. thinking that some one. perhaps. had played a practical joke on poor Felipe. But of casket. candelabra. flowers and vestments not n trace was found. The only clue to their disappearance was furnished by n cendarme who had seen two men carry the outfit past him. up the casa. There was nothing else to do but buy a new funeral outfit. This was done and Hermano Felipe was two hours after schedule time. gathered to his forefathers.
