every sound
In these dark hours she recalled the
stories of the old varona treasure and
EStcban's interesting theory Of its
whereabouts. but she could not bring
course it was barely possible that there
was indeed treasure. and even that
Esteban's surmise had been correct.
But it was little more than q remote
possibility Distance lends q rosy
color to reality TO our most absurd
ilnaginings. but. like the haze that tints
a far-off landscape. 1t dissolves upon
approach. Now that Rosa was here, In
sight of the ruined quinta itself, her
hopes and half-beliefs faded.
More than once she was tempted to
confide in Evangelina and Asensio. but
she thought better of it. Although she
put implicit faith in Evangelina's dis
erection, she knew that Asensio was not
the sort of fellow to be trusted with a
secret of great fnagnitude-he was
boastful, laxative. excitable; he was
just the sort to bring destruction upon
at of them. Rosa had sufficient INTEL
lisence TO realize that even if she found
her fathers riches they would only
constitute another and greater mem
ace to the lives of all of them. Never
theless. she wished to set her mind at
rest once for all. Taking Evangelina
with her, she climbed La Cumbre one
day in search of roots and vegetables.
1t turned out to be sad experience
for both women. The negress wept
noisily at the destruction wrought by
Pancho Cueto, and Rosa was overcome
by painful memories. Little that was
familiar remained; evidence of Cue
to's all-devouring greed spoke from the
sprouting burrows his men had dug,
from the naked trees they had felled
and piled in orderly heaps, from the
stones and mortar of the house itself.
The well remained, although 1t had
been planked over. but it was partially
filled up with rubbish. as Rosa discov-
cred when she peered into 1t. Only q
tiny pool of scum was in the bottom.
After a long scrutiny the girl arose,
convinced at last of her brothers delu-
sion, and vaguely ashamed of her own
credulity. No, If ever there had been
treasure, it was hidden elsewhere
all of value that this well contained for
Rosa was her memory of a happiness
departed. OF such memories, the we'll
the whole place, was brimful. Here
as child, she had romped with Este
ban. Here, as a girl, she had dreamed
her first dreams, and here O'Reilly, her
smiling knight, had found her. Yondel
was the very spot where he had held
her In his arms and begged her tc
await the day of his return. Well, she
had waited.
But was that Rosa varona who hac
promised so freely and so confidently
this pitiful Rosa whose bones pro
truded through her rags? 1t could moi
be- Happiness. contentment. hope
these were fictions; only misery. de
spair, and pain were real. But 1t had
been glorious dream, at any rates
dream which Rosa vowed to cherish al
ways.

There can be no peace with honor or
safety to ourselves or to posterity ex-
cept just peace, and there can be and
will be no other peace. Work for peace
accomplishes nothing but the hamper
ing Of our effort, the delay Of the real
peace and a greater toll Of death Of
Americas fighting men, Our duty is
to war for just and righteous peace /;
to work or speak for any other peace
Is aid and comfort to Germany-injury
and disloyalty to our boys in France.

Prof. William Herbert Hobbs says
one OF the most amazing facts con-
nected with the war il that 1t was not
foreseen By any Of the historians and
statesmen Of any Of the allied coun-
tFies We fail to see anything amaz-
Ing about that. Naturally. historians
are not expected to know about any
thing before 1t happens and statesmen
don't know about 1t either before or
after.

streets deaf to the plants of starving

"Here Is an astonishing fact" writes
Harry s. Stabler In Everybody's'

fy for you:
Thirty per cent of the business OF
the Wholesale grocers Of the entire
country Is In canned goods In the
wholesale houses Of New York, Chi

business.
The fact is that, II you were to
take the tin cans cut of any city or

tants would begin to starve almost at
once. That means, of course, that
those cities could not have grown SO

Adventures Of the Gold Eagle.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
The 2O-dollar gold piece has had an
interesting career. jewelers. melted it
for their fine gold work. some 40 years
ago., and were very successful until the
government experts discovered the prac-
tice and stopped it in short order by
"peppering" the gold with iridium. Fol-
lowing this, INSCRIPTIONS persons at
tempted to gather scrap gold by Sweat
ing" or placing a number of coins In a
bag and then shaking them violently,
thus obtaining tiny particles of gold by
friction. After these coins had been put
through the sweating process 1t was
an easy matter to pass them on unsus-
|pecting tradesmen and banks, provided,
of course, that the victims did not weigh
the coin. The amount of gold scrap OBJ
tanned by the Sweating" process was SO
small that the bags had to be burned to
recover 1t.
Another way was to strip" a coin by
putting it into an electro-chemical bath.
getting thereby a slight residue of gold
on a copper plate, which was afterward
melted and the metals separated. Be-
cause this method d~iscolored the, gold it
was not very popular. One Of the most
successful schemes, however, was the use
of a specially prepared male and female
die. The diameter OF the die wa about
one one-thousandtll of an inch smaller
than the diameter of the coin. 1t was SO
made that after the resultant rim of metal
was cut off the niilled edges rernai.ad.
From a single $50 coin the gold thus OBJ
tained was worth about SO cents, and the
coin, to all appearances. had not been
tempered with.
