RIGHT LIVING.

No man has any right to expect
to live differently tomorrow from
the way in which he is living today.
What he chooses for today he
chooses for tomorrow. What he
oyercomes today he is overcom-
ing for tomorrow. Yet most Of us
live as though we did not believe
this. and we Try hard to persuade
ourselves that we arc safe in 10

Mexican MescaI.

From the unprepossessing aloe the
Mexicans derive an insidious decoc-
ton they call mescal. which tastes like
a liquetied confagration and inspires
its drinker with an immediate desire
to kill some one. no matter whom, so
long as it is done soon.

quency is a matter of complaint, their
duration is seldom Of any length. So
by the morrow a strong wind from
the west had winnowed the skies and
cleared the sun. There were an ex.
h%ilarating Jingle Of frost in the air and
a visible rime on the windows. Hill.
lard, having b~reakfasted lightly. was
standing with his back to the crate in
the cozy breakfast room. He was in
boots and breaches and otherwise
warmly clad and freshly shaver. He
rocked or his heels and toes and ran
his palm over his blue white chin in
search of a possible slip Of the razor.
Giovanni came in to nnoun that
he had telephoned and that the 81.
gnor's brown mare would be at the
park entrance precisely at half after
8. Giovanni still marveled over this
wonderful voice which came out Of
nowhere. but he was no longer afraid
of it. The curiosity which is innate
and childlike in all Latins soon over
came his dark superstitions. He was
an ardent Catholic and believed that
a few miracles should be left in the
hands of God. The telephone had now
become a kind of plaything. and Hill.
lard often found him in front Of it pa
tiently waiting for the bell to ring.

had mastered English amazed his
teacher and master. But now he need

you hear a woman singing in the

the street to find out who she was, but
she vanished like the lady in the con-
jurer's trick. But it seemed to me
that, while she sang in Italian. she her
self was not wholly Of that race"
'Buonissima!" Giovanni struck a
noiseless bravo with his hands. "Have
] not always said that the signor's
ears are as sharp as my own? No; the
voice was very beautiful, but It was
not truly Roman. 1t was more like
they talk in Venice. And yet the sound
of the voice decided me. The hills have
always been calling to me. and I must
