fall away from him and he wiped the

that that fellow Mendez has deceived

Good Zee of Flcus Repens.

It Is often necessary to erect re-
tanning and other walls of cement
where their use is strictly unitarian
and in no wise adding to the embel-
lishment of garden and grounds. To
hide the face without o~bliterating the
form of such walls Is one Of the mis-
sions of Ficus repens, and splendidly
is it designed and equipped for the
purpose. Then, too, an excess of ce
ment wall and walk is m%onotonous,
and during summer this noticeatly
raises the local temperature. This
in turn may be considerably modified
by covering excess areas OF cement
with this closely-mantling evergreen
vine.

PLANT FLOWERS AND SHRUBS
Easy to Beauty Streets II Entire
Community Is Of One Mind In
the Matter.

I visited Europe last summer and
had occasion to travel a great deal in
different parts, but nowhere could I
see a small city like that of Strass-
burg, Alsace, writes a correspondent
Of the Chicago Daily News. There.
wherever n looks, one see the Bos-
ton Ivy growing up along fences and
around trees. The street called Rup-
r~echtsauern Allie is simply a park. as
all places along this street have their
flower boxes and gardens In front OF
the house and Boston ivy all along
their fences.
It is SO easy to cultivate flowers and
shrubs, including the Boston ivy, Ii
Just a little time and patience is need
ed, mornings and nights. Where n
has the good fortune to have running
water, it should be a pleasure and
comfort, compared to us in the coun-
try, where we must pump all u wa
ter by hand in order to keep up our
flower garden.
Another thing in the cultivation Of
flowers is a beautiful rose garden.

as they are also easy to raise and care
for. Just a little common sense is re-
quired in feeding them we'll from the
start and using a good insect powder
to keep off the green lice.
1t ought to be a pleasure for people
who live in a house or fiat to keep
their yards and windows cultivated, In
not alone growing flowers but all kinds
Of vegetables for their kitchens.

Best Place for Babies,

Miss Julia G. Lathrop, chief Of the
children's bureau at Washington, says
that the United States could learn
much from New Zealand in the way Of
saving babies. New Zealand has an
infant mortality rate which is lower
than that Of any other country and
which Is but half the size of the esti-
mated American rate. The New Zea.
land Society for the Health of Women
and Children has had much to do in
preserving the health of babies. The
society was founded in 1907 for the
purpose Of extending a health mission
which had been started by the medical
superintendent in one of the hospitals
Of a large city.

CHAPTER TX.

Not the least Of the causes which
have brought Mexico to the brink Of
the abyss is the endless quarrel be-
tween church and state, which has al
most destroyed the sanctity of mar
rage and left, BESIDES a pftiful her.
itage Of deserted women and father
less children as its toll.
Many an honest laborer has peoned
himself to pay the priest for his mar
rage, only to be told that 1t Is not
legal in the eyes Of the law; and many
another, married by the Judge, has
been gravely informed by the padre
that the woman Is only his mistress,
and the children born out of wedlock.
So that now, to be sure that she Is
welded, a woman must be married
twice, and many a couple, on account
of the prohibitive fees, r never mar
ried at all.
Cruz Mendez was no different from
the men Of his class, and he believed
honestly that he was married to the
comedy Maria; but Hooker could have
enlightened him on that point If he
had cared to do 1t.
Bud was playing a game, with the
Eagle Tail mine for a stake; and, be-
Ing experienced at poker, he stood pat
and studied his hand. Without doubt
| Mendez had lost his usefulness as a
locator Of the mine, since Maria was
not his legal wife and could not sign
the transfer papers as such. Accord
ing to the law of the land, the woman
now living with Aragon's mayordomo
was the Legitimate" wife Of the con
| tract, and she alone could release title
to the mine once Mendez denounced
the claim.
But Mendez had not yet denounced
the claim-though for a period OF
some thirty days yet he had the ex
elusive privilege of doing so-and Bud
did not intend that he should.
Meanwhile they must walk softly
leaving Aragon to stiIl hug the delu
sion that he would soon, through his

TO STUDY CITY PROBLEMS
Chicago Organization Has ComPrsr
henslve Scheme for the Improve
ment Of Western Metropolis.

The modern city Is a h~aphazaro
conglomeration Of private and puDLc
institutions, according to the City CLUB
Of Chicago. 1t suffers from q want OF
healthy neighborhood life. The eff
cheney of many public institutions,
such as charity stations, social settle
ments and the like, is greatly I'M
paired by the thoughtless manner IN
which they are distributed.
The club announces, therefore, Q
competition for plans for a neighbor-
hood center. The plans are designed
to show "the practical possibilities OF
enhancing neighborhood life In u
cities by proper grouping Of buildings
and grounds for neighborhood activ-
ities." The ideal city. according to
the promoters of this competition, Is
a federation of such properly planned
neighborhoods.
Any study Of housing conditions In
our industrial cities should be well
coined. Inefficient housing Is at the
root of a great many distressing stu
atoms which for want of a better word
must be designated as Social prob
lems." The work Of the City club in
the direction of finding practical and
graphic suggestions for better city
planning may be made to hold great
benefit If the plans decided upon are
brought to the attention of the public
and are made the opening wedge for
a vigorous campaign for better city
building.
We have had so many commissions
in recent years studying" "~investi-
gating," reporting and resolving on
all manner of matters that are wrong
with us. 1t is to be hoped the City
club competition will be more than

SYNOPSIS.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are
forced. owing TO a revolution in Mexico.
TO give up their mining claim and return
TO the United States. In the border town
Of Gadsdcn Bud meets Henry Kruger, a
wealthy miner, who makes him n propo-
dtion TO return to Mexico to acquire title
70 a very rich mine which Kruger had
blown UP when he found he had been
cheated out OF the title by one Aragon.
The pexican subsequently spent a large
sum In an unsuccessful attempt to relo-
cate tho vein and then allowed the land
10 revert for taxes. Hooker and De Ian
oey arrive ut Fortuna near where the
NINE, known as the Eagle Tail, is To-
GATED. They engage the services Of Cruz
Mendez, who has been friendly to Kruger,
10 acquire the title for them and get n
permit to do preliminary work. Aragon
protests and accuses them of jumping his
claim.
