CHAPTER xxI.--continued.

Her face was half hidden by her
fan, and her eyes, covered by their
deep lids. gave no sign of her
thoughts. The same cold voice went
on:
You might, for instance, tell Mr..
Polk, which is to say Mr.. Van Zandt,
that II his name goes on this little
treaty for Texas. nothing will be said
to Texas regarding his proposal to
give Texas over to England. 1t might
not be safe for that little fact gen.
orally to be known in Texas as It is
known to me. We will keep it secret
You might ask Mr.. Van Zandt II he
would value seat in the senate of
these United States, rather than a
lynching rope! So much do / value
your honorable acquaintance with Mr.
Polk and Mr.. Van Zandt, my dear
lady. that do not go to the latter and
demand his signature in the name of
his republic-no, merely suggest to
you that did you take this little treaty
for day, ard presently return 1t to
me with HIS signature attached, I
should feel So deeply gratified that I
should not aFk you by what means
you had attained this most desirable
result! And should hope that If you
could not win back the affections Of a
certain gentleman, at least you might
win your own evening of the scales
with him."
Her face colored darkly. In flash
she saw the covert allusion to the
faithless Pakenham Here was the
chance to cut him to the soul. She
could cost England Texas! Revenge
made its swift appeal to her savage
heart. Revenge and jealousy. han
died coolly. mercilessly as weapons
those cost England Texas!
She sat. her fan tight at her white
teeth. ut would be death to me II it
were known" she said. But still she
pondered, her eye alight with somber
fire, her dark cheek red in a woman's
anger.
But 1t never will be known. my
dear lady. These things, however,
must be concluded swiftly. We have
not time to wait. Let US not argue
over the unhappy business. Let me
think of Mexico as our sister republic
and our friend!"
And suppose ! shall not do this
that you ask, senor?"
That. my dear lady. do not sup
pose!"
You threaten. Senior Secretary"
ION the contrary, implore! Dear
lady, may We not conspire together
for the ultimate good of three repub-
lies. making Of them two noble ones,
later to dwell In amity? Shall we not
hope to see all this continent swept
free Of monarchy. held free, for the
peoples OF the world?"
For an instant, no more, she sat and
pondered. Suddenly she bestowed
upon him a smile whose briliiance
might have turned the head Of an
other man. Rising. she swept him
curtsey whose grace have not seen
surpassed
In return, Mr.. Calhoun bowed to her
with dignity and ease. and. lifting her
hand. pressed 1t to hfs lips. Then. Of
fering her an arm. he led her to his
carviage. l could scarce believe my
eyes and ears that SO much, and Of SO
much Importance. had thus SO easily
been accomplished. where all had
seemed SO near to the impossible.

The Point Of View.

This is true story. A certain belle
was present at recent Chopin recital.
During the March Funebre," her eyes
glistened and her whole attitude Of
rapt attention was as If the music had
sntranced her very SOUL Her whole
face was expressive of admiration and
intense interest. When the pianist
had finished, the escort Of Miss Belle"
turned to her and said: How beau
tiful!" To which she replied: Yes,
indeed; doesn't it fit her exquisitely in
the back? How much do you suppose

The Whoahaw Trail
There are no pleasures where women
are not.-Marie de Romba.
In our own caravan, now pressing
on for the general movement west Of
the Missouri, there was material for q
hundred canvases. The world of our
great western country was then still
before us. A stern and warlike people
was resolved to hold 1t and increase

The old trail to Oregon was laid
out by no government, arranged by no
engineer, planned by no surveyor. sup
ported by no appropriation. 1t sprang,
a road already created, from the earth
itself. covering 1000 miles of our
country. Why? Because there was
need for that country to be covered
by such trail at such time. Be-
cause we needed Oregon.
We carried with US all the elements
of society. as has the Anglo-Saxon
ever. Did any man offend against the
unwritten creed of fair play. did he

was judged and he was punished. At
that time there was not west of the
Missouri river any one who could ad.
minister an oath, who could execute
a legal document. or perpetuate any
legal testimony: yet with US the law
marched pari passu across the land.
We had leaders chosen because they
were At to lead. and leaders, who felt
full sense of responsibility to those
who chose them.
At the head of our column. we bore
the flag of our republic. On our tanks
we're skirmishers, like those guarding
the tanks Of an army. It was an
army--an army Of our people. With
US marched women. With us marched
home. That was the difference be-
tween our cavalcade and that slower
and more selfish one. made up of men
alone, which that same year was
faring westward along the upper
reaches of the Canadian plains. That
was why we won II was because
women and plows were with US.

he corrects, making no allowance,
however for evaporation or what is

zone inch Of water represents liz
tons per acre; seven inches represents
7S4 tons or 1,56s,00O pounds. AS it
requires approximately 500 pounds of
water to produce one pound of dry
matter, it is evident that 1,56S,O00
pounds of water will produce over
5000 pounds of straw and wheat per
acre. Whether more or less of the
weight should be represented by the
straw is immateriaI; my contention is
proved.

Late this afternoon 1t was decided
to call off the address of DR.. Willis

he would fly at the regular hour IL
1T is at all possible.
