QUICK CHANGE ARTIST
Exciting Experience Of Young
American in Love With
Mexican Girl.
BY GEORGE CLAYTON.

As Lawrence Hale rode along the
two miles Of road which lay between
his bungalow and the Sonora Deep
Level gold mine his thoughts were
fully occupied with the girl who had
come into his life 30 recently. Wheth-
or or not he loved her he did not
know, not even now, when the kiss
which she had given him still seemed
to linger upon his lips. But that epi-
sode Of the preceding day had GER
tainly awakened strange emotions
within him.
Leonora was q connection Of Don
Luis Obispo, Of the neighboring hacien-
da. She had not been there when
Hale had arrived. six months before,
to assume charge of the engineering
works. He had not seen her, never
heard of her during many friendly
visits to the ranch, until q month BE-
fore. Then, Unexpectedly, she had
come out from the house upon the
veranda. where Hale and Don Luis
were drinking coffee together.
"Senor Hale" said the Mexican, al
low me to present you to my cousin,
Senorita Leonora." But cousin"
might have meant anything in the
Mexican dialect. from niece" to
friend"
Hale had bowed and the senorita
had smiled charmingly He had discov-
cred that she had been educated in a
Paris convent; she had rust returned
to Mexico, and was spending a few
weeks with her connection, Don Luis
They had met frequently, and ever
Hale had fallen more and more under
the influence and charm of the senori-
ta's flashing black eyes, her alluring
ways. II she had set herself to
make a conquest he knew she could
have done 80. But their friendship
had been, on the surface, formal, un
til a week previously, when, calling
at the hacienda, he had encountered
her alone upon the porch.
Senior Hale" she said, my cousin
Don Luis, has gone to Mexico City
and my aunt has arrived to be my
chaperon."

Hale bowed over the old lady's
hand and she mumbled at him. She
seemed to him the most hideous old
woman whom he had ever seen.

Hale knew Don Ramon slixhtly-an
elegant, brainless youth of q nearby
hacienda, who affected . flne taste
In saddles and silver spurs.
II am ashamed to tell you this" the
girl continued, but those are my
relatives orders. As you know, the
rebels are threatening this region
and Don Ramon has obtained q cap
taincy in their forces. He threatens
to burn the hacienda II you come here
again"
So Hale went, and thereupon, be
cause 1t had grown impossible, his
love grew stronger. And on the pre-
ceding day he had met the senorita
again as he rode homeward.

There was once young man who

was poor in spirit and saw that he

my best friend, who ia very pow
erful man. Surely he will carry me
through"
But his best friend gave him only
sympathy, and it was easy to see that
by the very giving Of that sympathy
doubt was augmented. And the young
man called his best friend a traitor
and left him. for he could not win
his support. And then the young man
said: Il will go to those Of my own
blood. my family, and they will be
my strong STAFF on which to lean.
Surely they will not leave me In the
lurch."
But though his family offered him
much advice and little money, they
did not support him. nor did they en-.
courage him. And he left them sad
ly. And, finally, because he could
think of no one else who would be
likely to help him. he sought out the
Sage Who Never SAUNDERS and told
his tale disconsolately. And he did
everything that could be done for the
young man. for he said:

KNEES

Knees bag trousers, hold girls,
and at one time were extensively
used for praying.
Knees are also employed in base
ball and football. When used for
this purpose they are first covered
with hair mattresses.
Knees come in pairs; as in poker,
four knees usually beat full
house.
Every knee, like most well-order-
ed kitchens, has a pan; no knee, in
deed, is complete without this nee

Knees are also used by husbands,
who plant them firmly in their
wives backs while hooking them up,
Engaging themselves meanwhile in
merry songs and riry persifage.
Every knee helps to tether the
