entire block. It Is surrounded with

Some Notable Buildings.
Among the many hspdsome build

than the National university; on one
side a great series of SHALLOW steps
run along the front Of a delicate lacy
facade, rows of pillars shading the
cloisters; the rounded front Of the
Capitolio, already mentioned, Is archi-
tecturally fine, and the Yellow House
is a fine spacious building. 1t does
not, by the way, really correspond to
the White House at Washington, to
which it is often compared, for the
president of Venezuela does not reside
here. The presidents residence is

Liberty In Sleeves.

There is a delightful liberty in the
realm of arm covering. To each arm
it's sleeve is evidently the creed Of the
designers at the moment If a woman
wishes to let an admiring public see
that she has been given the rare gift
of a lovely arm she may adopt the
Grecian shoulder drapery which
serves as a sleeve, but is careful not
to hide a fraction of the arm.

CHAPTER xI-continued.

Madam, we have said our say on
this subject. If you have come to see
the matter as see it, can but con-
gratulate you upon your good sense,
and express the hope that it will con-
tinue to prevail. Reuther is worthy
OF the best" he stopped abruptly.
"Reuther is a girl after my own heart"
he gently supplemented, with glance
toward his papers lying in bundle at
his elbow, land she shall not suffer
because of this disappointment to her
girlish hopes. Tell her SO with my
love-"
1t was plain dismissal. Mrs. SEQ
vile took 1t as such, and quietly left
the room. AS she did so she was ap-
preached by Reuther, who handed her
letter which had just been delivered.
1t was from Mr.. Black, and read thus:
We have found theirogue and have sue
ceeded In inducing him to leave town.
He's a man in the bill-sticking business
and he owns to a grievance against the
person We know
Deborah's sleep that night was with
out dreams.
About this time the restless pacing
of the Judge in his, study at nights
became more frequent and lasted
longer. In vain Reuther played her
most cheerful airs and sang her sweet
est songs. the monotonous tramp kept
up with a regularity nothing could
break.
Hes worried by the big case now
being tried before him." Deborah
would say, when Reuther's eyes grew
wide and misty in her sympathetic
trouble. And there was no improb-
ability in the plea, for 1t was a case
of much moment, and of great local
interest. A man was on trial for his
life and the circumstances of the case
we're such that the feeling called forth
was unusually bitter; so much so, in
deed, that every word uttered by the
counsel and every decision made by
the Judge we're discussed from one
end of the county to the other, and In
Shelby, il nowhere else, took prece-
dence of all other topics, though it
was a presidential year and party
sympathies ran high.
The more thoughtful spirits were in
clined to believe In the innocence of
the prisoner; but the lower elements
of the town. moved by class prejudice,
were bitterly antagonistic to his cause
and loud for his conviction.
The time of Judge Ostrander's office
was nearly up, and his future continu-
ance on the bench might very easily
depend upon his attitude at the pres.
ent hearing Yet he, without apparent
recognition of this fact. showed with
out any hesitancy or possibly without
self-consc ciousness, the sympathy he
felt for the man at the bar, and ruled
accordingly almost without variation.
A week passed, and the community
was all agog. in anticipation of the
judges charge in the case just men,
toned. 1t was to be given at noon,
and Mrs. ScoTille, conscious that he
had not slept an hour the night be-
fore (having crept down more THAI
once to listen if his step had ceasedj,
approached him as he prepared to
leave for the courtroom and anxiously
asked if he we're quite well.
"Oh, yes, I'm we'll" he responded
sharply, looking about for Reuther.
The young girl was standing little
behind him. with his gloves in hey
hand-a custom she had fallen into
in her desire to have his last look and
fond good morning.

Paraiso and calvario.
The Paraiso is the neck of valley
that runs out in southerly direction
from the capital; there are two mag.
nif1cent roads, meeting at the valleys
head, and with broad strip of green
between where there is an almost con:
tinuous series of parks and residences.
Delightful country homes deep In
trees edge the hillsides along the
roads, and as background stand the
emerald heights themselves, velvet
with soft verdue, the peaks softly
capped with trailing clouds. This
drive in the afternoon is one of the
pleasures of Caracas that no one can
afford to miss.
Seen from the Paraiso roads Cara
cas- lies embowered in trees delicately
spread at the foot of the protecting
heights, an enchanting position. If
there is another view of the city for
which one would exchange this, it is
the enchanting scene laid at ones feet
when seen from Calvario hill. To
reach this point we drive out from the
city one fine balmy afternoon, cross
ing the outskirts and approaching a
westerly hill dominating the whole OF
Caracas. Once upon a time this was
nothing but grim height, but now
an encircling driveway winds up to
the top, a series of stone steps invite
the energies of the pedestrian. and on
the summit is botanical garden and a
ZOO where Venezuelan animals and
birds are spaciously housed. A fine
triumphal arch guards the foot of the
hill, and the park at the top is adorned
with statues of Colon and of the sol
dier Sucre; from the breezy brow one
looks down on Caracas itself and on
the smiling green strip, hill guarded,
which is the Caracas valley.

type and it's quaint account of events
