of the sort could have happened; and
mention this only as an illustration

there Is the least mystery at bottom.
So Philip Nolan had his wish full

The silence which often follows a good
story hung over the table for an in

For he asked, perfectly unconsciously,

After the Mexicans got their independ-
ence, thought that province of Texas
would come forward very fast. It Is
really one of the finest regions on
earth; it is the Italy Of this continent.
But I have not seen or heard word
of Texas for near twenty years."
There were two Texan officers at the
table. The reason he had never heard
of Texas was that Texas and her af.
fairs had been painfully out of his
newspapers since Austin began his
settlements; so that, while he read of
Honduras and Tamaulipas, and, till
quite lately, Of California, this virgin
province in which his brother had

gentle, accomplishing, silent sufferer
that he ever was, bearing as best he
