account of some great rich man. and

Suddenly he spoke: Sarah. I'm going
to be a rich man
She was somewhat startled. There
were no really rich men in all their
section of the country, and she had no
conception of the various forms CT
meaning the adjective takes. She only
knew that wealth meant power of some
kind If Martin wanted wealth he
ought to have it. There was nothing
illegitimate in the desire, certainly.
I'll help you," she said.
They kissed upon the promise and
laughed over it. 1t was as if he had
said, now that it was winter, I'm go

they began to talk about it the thing
seemed less vague. He had clean,
strong ideas, and she wondered if the
germ of that inspiration had not been
in his heart even before she knew him.
From that night they began to save.

plunge into the clear and ripping river
that runs through the town. 1t would
be hard to find cleaner people. Aside
from this. there is system of baths
for which the town is famous. A
stream Of water gushes from the noun
tainside above the town, and this is
guided through a patio OF tropical lux
uriance. This is surrounded by a row
of booths, into each of which is built

booths may go whoever feels oppressed
by the heat of tropic day, and here
go all tourists who visit the town.
The tourist in Mexico who gives
much attention to a study of its peo
pie soon meets with one disappoint-
ment. The sombreros are as large, the
sarapes as brilliant, the sashes as ar
tistic, on the persons of the cigarette
smoking male population as in any
light opera that he has ever witnessed.
1t would be impossible to exaggerate
them. But there is a peculiar absence

Mexican beauty as she lends herself to
romance. The tourist sees among the
masses almost no pretty women. He
sets about finding the cause. He OBJ
serves that every woman he sees, who
is Of the probable age Of eighteen or
twenty, is the mother of three or four
children and ls poor. These burdens
usually make 1t impossible for her to
appear as a romantic fancy would pic
ture her. Only in Tehuantepec are the
women of the masses equal to the rep
utations they have gained abroad.
Here the burdens of very early matri-
mony have been denied them, and they
have been allowed to bloom unstunted
into that beauty which Is their normal
heritage.
Finally the visitor attempts to solve
the riddle of the absence Of men from
this land of the American AmaZons.
He has previously asked and has been
told that the condition is due to tribal
wars. 1t is a general statement, and
he wants details. He can speak Span
ish or he finds an interpreter. He still
asks what has become of the men, and
still meets with the same curt reply
that they have died in tribal wars. But
he observes that there is an unwilling
ness to discuss the matter. He realizes
that there Is an enforced silence upon
the subject. He gathers the impression
that these people have. some years
back. come in conflict with the central
government and that the men have
fought to determination. The Amer
leans most familiar with the facts say
this is true. There Is a vast silence
among the natives on the subject. But
whether they are afraid to talk Of 1t
or whether their hearts are still too
sore. is dincult to determine.

in the most formal manner and ask the
native bellies for the pleasure of a

The next case was with regard TO 10

was obtained for the goods. he asked

came from Germany. were imported. The
next case was also of vanillin. and also
came from Van Hersoit. In March last.
They purchased nifty kilos at 35.ss a
