Porfirio Diaz.-In considering the
trouble in our sister republic, also, it is
we'll to take into account the heroic
repute of POrfirio DiaZ, the glamour
surrounding the name. In his early
life A'Artagan himself was not more
of a romantic hero. He fought for a
whole year, day by day, with an un-
healed wound which kept him in agony.
He rose from bed of fever to lead a
cavalry charge. His escape from Ba-
Zaine's guards in the Jesuit Monastery
at Puebla, in 1865, and his defeat OF the
whole regiment sent in pursuit, a few
days later, with force of nondescripts
recruited in the mountain roads, were
as splendid as any imagining by Du-
mas. He had captured Puebla before
Macmillan fairly knew that he was
at large, and he marched thence to
meet the army sent to recapture the
city, overwhelmed it, and proceeded 10
take the capital. A brave. audacious
soldier, a man of the people who raised
himself to the highest place by his own
exertions, a man of great destructive
force, to be sure, but of constructive
genius as well, Diaz should not he re-

shame of what she had let herself say.
But, childlike, she was not ready to
own her sorrow, and she turned her
back, trembling.
Sam, too, was shaken. In his heart
he knew there was justification for her
indictment, truth in what she had said.
And he was heartbroken for her. He
got up unsteadily and put gentle
hand upon her shoulder.

out as Betty turned to go upstairs.
Presently she reappeared, pinning on
her sad little hat, and left the store.
1t was upward of an hour before she
returned, walking quickly and very
erect with her head up and shoulders
back, her eyes suspiciously bright.
Even old Sam, who had returned from

bank-even he, blind as he ordinarily
was, saw instantly that something

CHAPTER XI.

She was scrubbing blindly at the
same glass when a quarter of an hour
later, Blinky Lockwood strode into
the store, his right eye twitching more
violently than usual, as it always does
in his phases of mental disturbance
as when, for instance, he fears he's
going to lose a dollar.
Lockwood is that type of man who
was born to grow rich.
In person he is as beautiful as a
snake fence as alluring as a stone
wall. Something over six feet in
height, he walks with a stoop, one
hand always in a trousers pocket jim
Cling silver, that materially detracts
from his stature. His face, like his
figure, is gaunt and lanky, his nose an
emaciated beak. His mouth Illustrates
his attitude toward property-is trap
from which nothing of value ever es-
capes. His eyes are small and hard
and set close together under lowering
brows. He's griZzled, with hair not
actually white, but gray as the iron

Why, there was a gentleman here this
morning from Moo York city talkin'
about an invention of mine"
The girl moved restlessly, shaking
off his hand. 'Invention!" she echoed
bitterly. "Oh, father! Everybody
knows they're no good! You've been
wastin' time on 'em ever since l can
remember, and you've never made
dollar out of one yet"
He bowed to the truth of this, then
again braced up bravely. But this
gentleman seemed quite interested
He's over to the Bigelow House now
think I'll step over and have a talk
with him
You'd much better go and have
talk with Blinky Lockwood" she told
him brutally. He's waitin' for you at
the bank and said he wasn't goin' to
wait after 12 o'clock neither"
We'll, perhaps you're right. I'll go
there. It's after 12. but He start
ed to get his hat and stopped with an
exclamation. why, Nat! I didn't
know you'd got back"
Duncan was at the back of the store
clearing the last remnants of the old
stock from the shelves. Yes he said
pleasantly, without turning, I've been
here some time cleaning up the cellar
to make room for the stuff that's COM
ing in. l came upstairs just moment
ago, but YOU were so busy talking you
didn't notice me-"
He paused, swept the empty shelves
with a calculating glance and came
out around the end of the counter.
"Everything's in tiptop shape" he said.
Il checked up the bill of lading my
self, and there's not a thing missing,
not a bit of breakage. Mr.. Graham"
he continued, dropping gentle hand
on the old mans shoulder, you're 60

YOU forget it," He laughed lightly,
with a note of encouragement. But he
avoided Graham's eyes even as he did
Betty's. He could not meet the pitiful
look of the former, any more than that
stare of hostility and defiance in the
latter.

posed firmly. And don't let me keep

And, without exactly knowing how it

toward the bank.

a puzzling problem, Il believe YOU do"
She looked away, shaking with pas
sion. You just better believe it,"
