A Lost Mine.

Among the famous lost mines Of the
western world and one which is again
being sought is the Tisingall of Costa
Rica. 1t is said to have yielded great
quantities Of gold in the time of the
Spanish domination. After quelling
the Indian uprisings, however, the
Spaniards failed to relocate the mine.
1t is thought that it lies hidden in the
bed of one of the larger streams.
Many legends are heard dealing With
its wonderful richness, and many at
tempts have been made to find it, but
so far without avail-Argonaut.

"WaIIfower7 Finds Ballroom a Place
Where Beauty, Not CIeverness,.
Is Sought Out

The fourth dance was nearly over,
and she was still sitting by the wall,
her hands clasped in her lap and her
blank program dangling by her side
The expression of pleasure which had
been spontaneous at the beginning Of
the evening, had become fixed and
strained through the long period of
waiting. AT last the music ceased
and the dancers, flushed and laughing,
scattered about the hall
The girl rose stifly and tried to
mingle with the crowd A few ac-
qualntances nodded absently, then
moved away Bold in her distress,
she elbowed her way into a noisy
group and laid her hand timidly upon
the arm of one of the girls
That's a pretty dress, Marie" she
said, trying to smile. Thank you.
Are you having good timer" Love
ly," she answered with a brave at
tempt to smile. Her friend hesitated;
then turned deliberately to her own
coterie.
The Wallfower stood awkwardly
outside the closed circle; then pushed
toward another group. The music
started up: there was mad confusion,
and the girl was caught in a scurry
of young men finding their partners.
Left alone N the middle of the floor
and buffeted by the dancers, there
was nothing for her to do but seek
the wall again
Her cheeks burned in confusion as
she found herself again surrounded by
vacant chairs. She moved to the
side Of two girls sitting farther down
the hall For a moment she felt less
conspicuous but both girls were
claimed by their partners and she
was again left alone against the wall
Pretty girls glanced at her with GEM
inc pity; girls of uncertain popularity
eyed her scornfully as they passed
At last, blinded by a rush of hot
tears, she arose and went from the
music and merriment into the silence
of the deserted dressing room

Friends may part, not merely in

Endless Battle.

Look around today. Lo, here and
now in our civilized society, the old
allegories yet have meaning, the old
myths are still true. Into the Valley
of the Shadow of Death yet often the
path of Duty leads; through the streets
of Vanity Fair walk Christian and
Faithful; and on Greatheart's armor
ring the changing blows. Ormuzd still
fights with Ahriman-the Prince of
Light with the powers of darkness. He
who will hear, to him the clarions of
the battle call.
How they call, and call, and call, till
the heart swells that hears them!
Strong soul and high endeayor, the
world needs them now. Beauty still
lies imprisoned, and iron wheels still
go over the good, the true and the
beautiful that might spring from hui
man lives.
And they who fight with Ormuzd,
though they may not know each other
sometime, will their
muster roll be called.-Henry George.

At the key there sat youth, the re-

on his ears, left the operator unable
to understand what was said to him;
but he comprehended very quickly the
language of the pistol muzzle which
was showed against his side-a pistol
which he did not know was empty, but
which he was quite convinced was
wholly unlovely in its look.

and scrubbed few words on a bit of
