to her immortal SOUL" Anne said when
she had gone, "as she does to her
skin, she would let that nice Harb1-
son boy alone. She must have been
brutal to him tonight, for lie went to

pose he went to bed, for he shut him

knocked he advised me not to come

excuse for avoiding Aunt Selma all
day, and she had not sent for me.
Bella was really quite extraordinary.
She was never in the habit of putting
ferself out for any one, and she al
tays declared that the very odor of a
sick-room drove her to Scotch and
soda But here she was, rubbing Aunt
Selinas back with chloroform lini-
ment-and you know how that smells
getting her up in a chair, dressed
in one of Bella's wadded silk robes,
with pillows under her feet, and then
doing her hair in elaborate puffs-
braiding her gray switch and bringing
it. coronet-fashion, around the top Of
her head, She even put rice powder
on Aunt Selina's nose and dabbed vio-
let water behind her ears, and said
she couldn't understand why she
(Aunt Selina) had never married, but,
of course, she probably would some
day.
The result was, naturally, that the
old lady wouldn't let Bella out Of her
sight. except to go to the kitchen for
something TO eat for her. That very
day Bella got the doctor to order ale
for Aunt Selma (oh, yes; the doctor
could come in; Dal said 'it was all a.
coming in, and nothing going out')
and she had three pints of Bass, and
learned to eat anchovies and cayiare
all in one day.
Bellas conduct to Jim was disgrace
full She snubbed him, ignored him,
tramped on him, and Jim was growing
positively flabby He spent most Of
his time writing letters to the board
of health and playing solitaire. He
was q pathetic figure.

the night l wakened, and, after turn

while the company will continue
driving two crosscut tunnels to tap
the ledge.
so far as development has pro-
ceeded the workings show a 15-foot
ledge between two perfect walls with
every indication of permanenee,"
said Mr.. Clark. These workings to
date are not very extensive, the prin-
cipal opening being a 600-foot shaft
with a short drive from its bottom
in both directions. The average
value OF the ore thus exposed is $50
per ton, most OF the value being In
gold, but sufficient in silver to be OF
importance. The ore is free mill
ing and cyaniding and capable OF be-
ing cheaply mined and treated.

Is told the rest OF the country and

people imagine they have a peeu-

1913. Balboa and his handful of as
sociates climbed the crest of the ridge
at the isthmus and looked out on
the South Sea. which Magellan, a few
years later on his globe-girdling trip,
named the Pacific. On that day in
September. 1913. the Pacific was seen
for the first time by any white man
from the American Continent. Three
days later, September IS. Balboa and
his men struck the Pacific al the spot
which still bears the name which he
gave il, the Bay of San Miguel. Thus
Balboa, the discoverer OF the Isthmus
of Panama. was also the first to cross
IL.

American Continent long before the
first men of the English or French
race came here. As early as 1928
the idea of a ship canal cutting
through the isthmus was first enter
tanned. and Charles Y. sent engineers
over from Spain 10 make a survey OF
that neck of land, and point out the
