How in the world did you learn that Roman colors had come in again ? have always heard that men did not follow the styles and could not be trusted to select anything for wom. an, but it is libel, a base libel, for the scarf which you sent is quite the most beautiful thing I have received this Christmas. 1 have it draped over the large picture in the parlor, and it is the envy of every one who has been in today. A thousand, thousand thanks, dear Sidney. It was perfectly sweet of you to remember me, and I call it nothing less than stroke of genius to think of anything so appropriate and yet so much out of the ordinary.
 "John asks me to thank you-but I must tell you the story. One evening last week we had little chafing- dish party after prayer meeting, and I asked John to open a bottle of olives for me. Well he broke the small blade of his knife trying to get the cork out. He said: If I live to get down. town again, I'm going to buy a cork screw Fortunately he had neglected to buy one, and so your gift seemed to come straight from Providence. John is very much pleased. Already he has found a use for 1t, as 1t happened that he wanted to open a bottle of household ammonia the very first thing this morning.
 "As for Fred's lovely books-thank goodness you didn't send him any more story books. John and I have been trying to induce him to take up a more serious line of reading. The Josephus ought to help him in the study of his Sunday school lessons. We were pleased to observe that he read it for about an hour this morn ing.
 When you were out here last fall did Genevieve tell you that she was collecting silk for a doll quilt? She insists that she did not, but she must have done so. for how could you have guessed that she wants pieces of silk above anything else in the world? Fred and Genevieve send love and kisses. John insists that you come out to dim ner some Sunday very soon-next Sun day if you can. After we received your presents we were quite ashamed of the box we had sent over to your hotel, but we will try to make up the difference in heartfelt gratitude. Don't forget-any Sunday. Your loving sis ter, KATHERINE"
 It would be useless to dwell upon the reflections of MT. Sidney Paysop after he received these letters.

CHAPTER xxIv.

In land of class privilege and ofi- cial graft 1t is often only in times of anarchy that a poor man can get his rights. For eight months Hooker had battled against the petty intrigue of Aragon and the agonte mineral, and then suddenly, when the times turned to war and fear gr1pped at their hearts, he rose up and claimed his own, hold ing out his brawny right hand and de- manding the concession of his mine. In day the whirligig of fortune had turned, and it was the fighting man who dominated. He spoke quietly and made no threats, but the look in his eye was enough, and the agente gave him his papers. Then he wrote out a receipt for the mining tax and Bud ste-od forth like q kin.

rebels appeared in the open they ran to the outlying hDuses and, fighting from the fiat roofs, checked the ad- vance until the miners could come to their aid.
 But in the confusion another party of rebels had rushed down the gulch from the west, and while the fight was going on in the lower town they found lodgment in a big adobe house. And now for the first time there was fight ing in earnest-the house-to-house fighting that is seen at it's worst in Mexico. While women screamed in the casa grande and the Americans paced to and fro on the hill, the boom of dynamite bomb marked the begin ming of hand-to-hand.
 If there was to be casualty list in this long-looked for battle of Fortuna, the time was at hand when they could begin counting the dead.
 With fearlessness born of long fa- miliarity with explosives the Sonoran miners advanced valiantly with their. hand grenades-baking pow der tnn filled with dynamite and studded &itL illuminating caps. Digging flercely through wall after wall they ap- preached unperceived by the enemy and the first bomb. flung from a roof, filed the adobe with wounded and dead.
 A dense pail of yellowish smoke rose high above the town and, as bfcmb after bomb was exploded and the 3el1s of the miners grew louder with 4ach success, the stunned invaders bfoke from cover and rushed helter-sk4lter up the gulch. Then there was pfodi- gious shouting from tte Sonorans land more than one triumphant grenSdier swung his can of giant powder by the sling and let it smash against the hill in 8 terrific detonation.
 In the big house all was confusion. Soon the cheers of the defenders her aided victory and, in spite of all efforts to restrain them, the wives of the miners rushed into the open to gaze upon the triumph of their menfolk. 1,
 On the hilltops the ineffective rebel rifiemen rose up from behind theirJ stone wall to stare, until suddenly they, too. were seized with panic and ran to and fro like ants. Then, around the curve below the concentration, a tall man came dashing up on pure white horse, and behind him, charging as he charged, came the swarthy Ya- quis of Alvarez. their new rifles gleam-s ing in the sun.
 Up along the hillside and after the fugitives they ran with vengeful eager ness. racing each other for the higher ground and the first shot at the reb- els. First Alvarez on his white horse would be ahead, and then, as they en- countered rocks, the Yaquis would surge to the front. It was a race and at the same time 1t was rout, for, at the first glimpse of that oncoming body of warriors, the cowardly follow CTS of Bernardo Bravo took to ther heels and fled.
 But over the rocks no Chihuahuan. no matter how scared, can hope to out distance a Yaqui, and the pop, pop of rifles told the fate of the first luckless stragglers. For the Yaquis, after hundred and sixty years of guerrilla warfare, never waste shot; and as savage yells and the crash of 8 sud- den volley drifted down from the rocky, heights the men who had been be- sieged in Fortuna knew that death was

 He was bound by family custom to buy Christmas presents for his rela- tives. He had promised his sister that he would remember every one in the list. But he was under no obligation to give presents which would be well come. Why not give to each of his rel atives some present which would be entirely useless, inappropriate and superf1uous ?. It would serve them right for involving him in the childish per formances of the Christmas season. It would be a burlesQue on the whole nonsensicality of Christmas giving.
