A story with a moral appended is
like the bill of n mosquito 1t bores
you and then injects a singing drop
to irritate your conscience; therefore
let us have the moral first and be done
with It, All is not gold that gitters,
but it is n wise child that keeps the
stopper In his bottle of testing acid.
Where Broadway skirts the corner
Of the square presided over by George
the Veraclous is the Little Rialto.
Westward and southwark from the
Thesplan glare are one or two streets
where a Spanish American colony has
huddled for a little tropical warmth
in the nlpping north. The center Of
life in this precinct is El Refugio, a
cafe and restaurant that caters to the
volatile exiles from the south.
One day a Hamburg-American liner
deposited upon pier No. So General
Perrlco Xlmenes Villablanca Falcon, a
passenger from Cartagena. The gen
eral was between a clay bank and a
bay In complexion, had a forty-two
inch waist and stood five feet four
with his Du Barry heels.
General Falcon had enough English
under his hat to enable him to inquire
his way to the street in which El Re-
fugio stood. When he reached that
neighborhood he saw a sign before
respectable red brick house that read,
''Hotel Espanol." In the window was
card in Spanish, "Aqui Sc habla
Espanol." The general entered, sure
of a congenial port.
In the coy office was Mrs. O'Brien,
the proprletress. She had blond-oh,
u1impeachably blond!-hair. For the
rest she was amiabiity and ran large
" t. inches around. General Falcon
brushed the floor with his broad brim-
med hat and emitted a quantity of
Spanish, the syllables sounding like
firecrackers gently popping their way
down the string Of a bunch.
Spanish or dagoT asked Mrs.
O'Brien pleasantly.
"I am a Colombian, madame" said
the colonel proudly. 81 speak the
Spanish, The advisement in your win
dow say the Spanish he is spoken
here. How is that?"
"Well, you've been speaking it, amt
your" said "the madame" "Pm sure
can't"
At the Hotel Espanol General Falcon
engaged rooms and established him
self. At dusk he sauntered out upon
the streets to view the wonders of this
roaring city Of the north. AS he walked
he thought Of the wonderful golden
hair Of Madame O'Brien.'
At the corner of Broadway and the
Little Rialto the general became in
volved. The street cars bewildered
him, and the fender of one upset him
against a pushcart laden with oranges.
A cab driver missed him an inch with
a hub and poured barbarous execra-
tons upon his head.
As the general fluttered out Of the
streamers of passers like wounded

u.s." said Kelley.
The general tore himself away with
an effort.
"Aye, senor." he said, with a sigh,
duty makes call. But senior, the
senoras Of your Estados Unldos-hoW
beauties! For exemplincation, take
you la Madame O'Brien-que magnih'
ca! She Is one goddess-one Juno
what you call one OK eyed Juno"
Now, Mr.. Kelley was wit, and bet
ter men have been shrlveled by the
fire of their own imagination.
"Sure," he said, with a grin, "but
you mean a peroxide Juno, don't you?
Mrs. O'Brien heard and lifted an au-
riferous head. Her buslnessllke eye
rested for an instant upon the disap-
pearing form of Mr.. Kelley. Except
In street cars one should never be un-
necessarily rude to a lady.
When the gallant Colombian and his
escort arrived at the Broadway ad-
dress they were held in an anteroom
for half an hour and then admitted
into a well equipped Office where a
distinguished looking man with a
smooth face wrote at a desk. General
Falcon was presented to She secretary
of war of the United States and his
mission made known by his old friend
Mr.. Kelley.
"Ah, Colombian said the secretary
significantly when re was made to un-
, derstand. I'm afraid there will be n
little difficulty in that case. The pres
ident and I differ in our sympathies
there. He prefers the established gov
ernment, while p The secretary gave
the general a mysterious but encour-
aging smile. "You of course know,
General Falcon, that an act Of con-
gress has been passed requiring all
manufactured arms and ammunition
exported from this country to pass
through the war department. Now, II
l can do anything for you l will be
glad to do so to oblige my old friend
Mr.. Kelley. But it must be in absolute
secrecy, as the president, as / have
said, does not regard favorably the
efforts Of your revolutionary party in
Colombia. will have my orderly bring
a list of the available arms now in the
warehouse"
The secretary struck bell, and an
orderly with the letters A. d. I. on
his cap stepped into the room.
Bring me Schedule B of the small
arms inventory" said the secretary.
The orderly quickly returned with a
printed paper. The secretary studied
it closely.

our interview"
As one result of this interview the
general was deeply grateful to his es-
teemed friend Mr.. Kelley. As an
other the nlmble secretary Of war was
extremely busy during the next two
days buying empty rifle cases and fill-
ing them with bricks, which were then
stored I'm a warehouse rented for that
purpose. AS still another when the
general returned to the Hotel Espanol
Mrs. oBrlen went up to him, plucked
a thread from his lapel and said:
SAY, senior, / don't want to butt
in but what does that monkey faced,
cat eyed, rubber necked tin horn tough
want with your"
"sangre de mi vida| exclaimed the
general. Impossible It is that you
speak of nay good friend sen1r Kel-
ley"
"Come into the summer garden"
said Mrs. o'Brien. 81 want to have a
talk with you"
Let us suppose that an hour has
elapsed.
"And you say" said the general,
"that for the sum Of $4,000 can be
purchased the Punishment OF the
house and the lease of one year, with
this garden so lovely, so resembling
unto the patios Of my care Colombia 2
"And dirt cheap at that" sighed the
lady.
"Ah, DiosW breathed General Fal-
con. 'What to me is war and poll

tel Espanol, and you shall be mine,
and the money shall not be waste on

Mrs. O'Brien rested her blond POM
padour against the shoulder Of the Co.

"Oh, senor," she sighed happily,
"ain't you terriblew
Two days later was the time ap-
pointed for the delivery Of the arms
to the general. The boxes Of supposed
rifles were stacked in the rented ware
house, and the secretary Of war sat
upon them, waiting for his friend Kel-
ley to fetch the victim.
Mr. Kelley hurried at the hour to
the Hotel Espanol. He found the gen
eral behind the desk adding up ac-
counts.

"to buy not guns. 1 have today buy
the insides Of this hotel, and there
shall be marrying Of the General Per
rico Ximenes Villablanca Falcon with

Mr.. Kelley almost strangled.
"Say. you old baldheaded bottle Of
shoe polish" he spluttered, you're a
swindler, that's what you are! You've
bought a boarding house with money
belonging to your internal country,
wherever it is"
"Ah," said the general, footing up
column, that is what you call poll
tics. War and revolution they are not

Mr.. Kelley choked again.
