N the days when Mexico was In q
chronic state Of revolution 81
gnor Herrera lived on his hacien-
da, doing his best to avoid being
entangled in any Of the various strifes
that succeeded one another for the
possession Of the government, for to
be on the wrong side meant death.
Dona Marina, Herrera's eldest daugh-
ter, was courted by Signor Juan Busta-
mente, a neighboring hacienda owner
who had done great deal to establish
the government then In power.
But Dona Marina loved Philippe
Mendoza. the son Of neighboring
planter. Urged to give him up for
Bustamente, through fear she consent
ed, but not for long. She confessed to
Bustamente her love for Mendoza and
begged him to release her. He did 80
at once, with many expressions Of
grief and wishes for her happiness.
BY this course Marina turned what
had been feared for her father against
her lover. Bustamente, thinking that
II he got Mendoza out Of the way
Marina might yet become his wife,
secretly accused his rival Of plotting
with one who was known to be TO
menting a new revolution. Mendoza
was arrested and taken no one knew
where.
As soon as the news Of the arrest
reached the Herreras, not suspecting
Bustamente, Marina implored him. to
use his influence with the president in
behalf CT her lover. He promised to do
SO and set or at once to the capital
ostensibly for the purpose. He knew
very well that Mendoza would have
been executed before his arrival, for
he had so arranged Il.
There Is law In Mexico that one
executed shall be left where he falls
till friends or relatives come and take
away the body for burial. But at Men,
doza's execution there was no one to
claim the body. Bustamente had ar
ranged that he be taken to a distant
province. from which the news of his
execution would be long In reaching
his friends, especially Dona Marina.
Mendoza was taken out in the gray
of the morning and was stood up be-
fore eight soldiers, who at the word Of
command fired volley at him. He
fell. The commander or the firing par
ty took look at the body and saw
that It had several wounds in the tho
rax and two In the head, any one of
which might be expected to kill him.
But Mendoza was not dead. Not

From considerable experience have
found that 1t is no trick at all to win
ter horses II one has winter pasture,
whether that be blue grass which has
not been eaten or close, cornstalks or
second crop clover. A horse will find
the blue grass: no doubt about that.
He has learned long since to paw the

grass, green as In the summer time,
but not so abundant, which lies under

Earth to the bone, and winter twilight

Slow In q west Of smoldering pageantries-
The heaven in tense. still expectation
thrills.
Aloof and silent brood the ancient hills;
Their age long taciturnity defies
The fruitless questioning of curious syss.
But our unsated craving never stills.
Mans sense Is clouded. Vainly he aspinss
Their mighty hidden secret to behold.
Not till his eager spirit he can mold
To their unQuestioning stiffness shall he

Their broad tranquility his soul infold.
Their whisper soothe his restless hearts

In Denver or thereabouts resides a
bard who sometimes writes things
witty and wise. One Of his recent
bits, which he heads "Tintinnabula-

And once he got II in his Jeans he'd much

he couldn't catch 'em,
Nor could he do the coaxing that In any
way would fetch EN-.
30 he up and tried the system Of spending
cash at homo. sir.
And he keeps on catching dollars a. on

The grammar and the rime may
not be the best to be had. but the wit
and wisdom are first rate. II every

there Is no shadow Of doubt that he
and his family and all his family con-
nections and neighbors would profit
thereby in the end-and long time

comes the home spent dollar instead
of the Chicago sent dollar helps just

TEST FOR INFANTRY
A heroic test to show what may be
expected by having an infantry COM
pany at war strength march with an
auto truck from San Francisco to New
York was a suggestion in the report
Of A. w. Brewster, acting inspector
general. This, report was what It was
designed to be--a criticism of any
flaws found in the army In 1911. The
marching ability varied from post to
post, and an effort will be made to
bring 1t to higher standard.
