been repugnant to him. But at pres
ent something seemed to tell him that
it was not to satisfy his curiosity
alone that Obadiah Price had given
him this opportunity. Would look
through that little window explain
some of the mysteries of the night?
There came a low whisper in his
ear.
DO you smell lilac, Nat? Eh?"
The councillor was grinning at him.
There was suggestive CLEAN in his
eyes. He rubbed his hands almost
fiercely.
In another instant Captain Plum
had stepped upon the object beneath
the window and parted the leaves.
Breathlessly he looked in. A strange
scene met his eyes. He was looking
into vast room, Illuminated by a
huge hanging lamp suspended almost
on level with his head. Under this
lamp there was a long table and at
the table sat seven women and one
man. The man was at the end near
est the window and all that Nat could
see was the back of his head and
shoulders. But the women were in
full view three on each side Of the
table and one at the far end He
guessed the man to be Strang; but he
stared at the women and as his eyes
travelled back to the one facing him
at the end of the table he could
scarcely repress the exclamation of
surprise that rose to his lips. 1t was
the girl whom he had encountered at
the councillors cabin. She was lean
ing forward as if in an agony of sus-
pense, her eyes on the king, her lips
parted, her hands clutching at great
book which lay open before her. Her
cheeks were flushed with excitement.
And even as he looked Captain Plum
saw her head fall suddenly forward
upon the table, encircled by her arms.
| The heavy braid of her hair, partly
undone, glstened like red gold in the
| lampltght. Her slender body was con-
vulsed with sobs. The woman near
est her reached over and laid a ca
ressing hand on the bowed head. but
drew it quickly away as if at a sharp
| command.
| In his eagerness Nathaniel thrust
his face through the foliage until his
nose touched the glass. When the
girl lifted her head she Strengthened
back in her chair-and saw him.
| There came sudden white fear in
her face, parting of the lips as if
she were on the point of crying out,
and then, before the others had seen,
she looked again at Strang. She had
discovered him and yet she had not

ment and progress. The coun-
try was colonized at first by people
from the ancient Spanish province of
Calicia. and the colonists have not,
as in many tropical countries, ANAL
gamated with the aborigines; they
have consequently kept to the present
time the original characteristics, as
we'll as the qualities of their race, and
the inherent grace and charm OF their
ancestors They are laborious, pro-
gressive and peace-loving, and have a
record Of a long period Of absolute in
ternal tranquility.
Three-Quarters of the population in
habit the so-called central plateau,
the climate of which is the most per-
feet realization Of perpetual spring.
The agriculture Of this region is very
highly developed, the principal prod
uct being coffee, maize, beans and po-
tatoes. The land is divided into ex-
ceedingly small holdings. Almost
every peasant is landowner.
The Atlantic coast, warm, humid,
and rather unhealthful, but very fer
tile, produces on very large scale
bananas and cacao, the exploitation of
which is unfortunately tied by con-
tracts with foreign companies. In the
banana plantations, covering over a
hundred square miles, the laborers
are mainly West Indian negroes, the
only human beings able to stand
hard and continuous work under the
climatic conditions.
The Pacific coast does not differ
much from the interior but for its
warmer temperature and its extensive
grass-covered savanas, in which
stock raising is the chief industry.
Except for small part, located in
the western province Of Guancaste,
the 100000 inhabitants are crowded
into a narrow belt extending across
the country from ocean to ocean,
along the railroad which connects
Port Limon and Punta Arenas. The
remaining part of the state-that is
to say, four-fifths of it's entire surface
OF about 18,400 square miles-is a will
derness, with but handful of hardly
half-civilized Indians inhabiting the
valleys of Diquis and Talmanca.
Of the five Central American repub-
lies, Costa RIGA was the first to be
connected by railway with the east
ern coast, thus getting into close
touch with European civilization. In
many respects this was source Of
real benefit to the country. The Costa
Ricans became great travellers. They
sent their sons to be educated in for
eign schools and universities, and on
their return these diffused among
their fellow-citizens new ideals and
more advanced moral standards. For
eign teachers and professors were
brought and kept long enough to es-
tablish on solid foundation an excel
lent school system, SO perfect indeed
that illiterate men or women are hard
to find, while books and newspapers
are common even in the most remote
hamlets. The scientific study of the
climate and the natural resources of
the country was carried on at the ex-
pense of the government, and the in

LoVemakinq and Practice.

The only way to become an expert
at lovemaking is to practice. This
was the information handed out to a
handful of hearers by the Hindu phil
osopher, Sakharam Ganesh Pandit, in
a lecture on THE Science Of Love-"
Love is a divine discomfort" said
the philosopher, and if you want to
arouse love in others it can be done
only by giving them love. How to
develop the emotion of love in another
is the great question of today--the art
of making love. 1t needs a great deal
of study and a great deal Of prac-
