Daydrean1s.

Dreams will at times reveal to us
how little we have forgotten; but the
value of dreams as key to reDem-
brance is distorted and diminished by
what seems their lack of selection.
They blend the past with the present,
or with sheer impossibility, in such a
hopeless medley.
AT their best our dreams seem fan
tastes, based upon the real yet wander
ing from it with erratic inconsequence.
of which the possible meaning eludes
us. And yet dream sometimes will
revive so much, with miracle as of
resurrection. But it is in our day
dreams, when reason still retains the
controlling hand, that we most surely
touch the pas and daydreams are the
poetry of memory.

Salzburo.

Salzburg lies on both sides OF the
Salzach river, hemmed in on either
bend by precipitous mountains. A
large fortress OverlOoks it on the
south, from the summit of a perpen-
dicular rock, against which the houses
in that part of the city are built.
The streets are narrow and crooked
but the newer part contains many open
squares adorned with handsome fOun-
tains. The variety of costume among
the people is very interesting. The in
habitants Of the salt district have a
peculiar dress the women wear round
fur caps, with little wings of gauze
at the side. I saw other women with
headdresses of gold or silver filigree
something in shape like Roman he'll
met, with a projection at the back OF
the head. foot long.

burg to us were the house of Mozart

rough-walled room some eight or ten
feet square.
Across the room was a heavy barred
door; in the center of the floor was a
couch, and on the couch a man was
lying upon his back, his hands clasped
behind his head, q cigarette between
his lips.
Stairway was in the room, noiseless
in his stockinged feet, Vidal at his
side. Gaucho was entering when the
man heard, turned quickly, and saw
them. He sprang to his feet.
But the cry rising to his lips was
choked back in his throat by the hard
hands of the rancher. The struggle
ended almost as soon as it began.
But some sound of the brief scuffle
must have penetrated to the other side
Of the oak door. Before the rest Of
the vaqueros could crowd into the lit
tie room the door had been jerked
open, a dark, bearded face showed at
the crack.
There was a snarled curse, the door
slammed shut, and there was the sound

leaping to one side to make room.
"Vidal. you take one. Get 1t down,
quick!"
But, even to the attack Of the great
arms Of Vidal and another Of the cow
boys, the great thick door stood defiant
as the swift seconds fled by. From
the other side came the sound Of quick,
swapping voices, Of scurrying feet, the
sound of a cry which tingled through
Stanway's blood and sent Vidal with
redoubled vigor to the onslaught on
the door.
At last the door fell. Stairway and
Vidal, side by side, leaped through.

There was another hall, wider than
the first, shorter. At the end of the
hall another door, studded with nails,
barred upon the farther side.
Evidently there had been a second
guard here, evidently in the next room
were the prisoners.
"De la Guerra!" shouted Stairway.

There was no answer, no SOUND.
"Smash in the door," he yelled.
"Quick! Gaucho, go upstairs. Tell
them what has happened. Let them

GauchOw
Before Gaucho had turned to opey'
before Stanway's echOing words sank
into silence, there came from Deyond
the door an exclamation of terror,
sudden cry, and the reverberating
crack of a revolver.
Then brief silence again for mo-
ment which seemed long, and the blows
Of two axes, ripping and tearing at the

"And the senorita?" cried Gaucho.
They ran about the room, seeking

drawing room.

curled nicely, his eyes glowing very
brightly, for moment gentle and full
Of gratitude as they rested upon the
rancher, then very hard as they turned
toward the ceiling.
His vaqueros cried out sharply nt
the sight of him standing there so un-
expectedly in their midst. From him
they looked to the slender form of the
white-faced girl at the door of little
closet which De la Guerra had sud
denly thrown open.
"You, sen0r!" cried Stairway, as
founded Not hurt?"

white hand, showing for a moment
the revolver in it. "At your attack

Again his fine old face hardened. his
eyes were burning black pools of mer-
ciless rage. He stepped across the
room, set his hand to spot which his
thumb found readily, and narrow
door flew back, showing a stairway.

HISTORIC BERMUDAN CHURCH
St. Peters Has Many Mementoes of
Interest to Both Englishmen
and Americans.

One of the most Interesting
churches to be found anywhere is old
st. Peters in Bermuda. 1t is In the
told town of st. Georges, and was
built in 1713 on the same site as the
first church, built in 1890. 1t is built
of the native white limestone, as are
all the buildings in the Bermudas,
and it shows the marks OF time.
Everything in and about st. Peters
is intensely interesting. It's church
yard contains, among others, the
grave of Hester Tucker, the "Nea' be-
loved of Thomas Moore, the poet. who
was an official at st. Georges at one
time, and promptly fell In love with
pretty Hester. Every square inch OF
the old church walls, inside, are COW

them being the work Of famous Eng
lIsh sculptors. Not few of the tab

His best tales run on like one of our
inland rivers, sometimes Fastening a
little and turning upon themselves in
eddies that dimple without retarding
the current; sometimes lettering
smoothly, while here and there quiet
thought, tender feeling, pleasant
image, a golden-hearted verse, opens
quietly like waterlily, to float on the
surface without breaking 1t into a rip
pie. He prattles inadvertently away.
and all the while, like the princess In

dal's big finger pointed through the
open door. "Come, compadres!"
They ran with him, crowding to-
gether.
Again there was a hallway, this one
far down under the main floor and so
wide that three men might pass
abreast through it. There came sharp
turn, the footsteps were louder, men
were running toward them. And then,
as several men shot into view:
"Stop!' cried Stairway, loudly, his
hand knocking Vidars weapon up
ward. ut is Gaucho and his men !"
"Where are they?" cried Gaucho, ex-
citedly. "The master? The senorita?

"You did not meet them?" in sharp
cry from the rancher.
1--WE met no one!" Gaucho answered,
a look of wonder in his eyes.
"Then there is another door. They
have fooled us. Comet They can't
get out of the house"
They turned, rushing back toward
the room they had just quilted. And
at the instant Stairway plunged back
through the doorway he knew where
were these men Of Torres.
For he heard Torres voice shouting
loudly just above his head where he
had already judged the drawing room
must be; he knew that through some
other passageway the men they had
thought to trap had made their way
there, and he remembered that his own
orders had been for one man only to
watch over the bound Tore and
JuareZ.
"Nunez! Castrow Tore was call
ing, his tones ringing out clear, the
tones of command, calling for haste,
for swift obedience There Is one
man here only. Kill him! All"
There was the crack of a revolver,
81 cry, the sound Of body falling.
"Nowl" and again Torres voice
rang triumphant "Cut these damned
ropes. Castroi You others free Juarez.

There came answering shouts, the
noise of heavy furniture being dragged
across the floor and piled at the doors,
Torres voice giving commands.

COMMITTEE OF PROPERTY
OWNERS TO GET OPINION
Property Owners Along West Second
Street Interested in Seeing Street
Paved Between Car Tracks
VIII Call on NelghbOrs
For Their Opinions.

A very interesting meeting of the
special paving committee having the
matter of paving between the car rails
in hand and number of the property
owners along the line proposed to be
improved, was held at the Council
Chamber on Friday night when the
matter was thoroughly discussed.
After going into all phases of the
question and coming to the conclusion
that the system of dividing the cost of
this construction into three equal
parts to be borne by the city, the car
company and the adjoining property
owners, committee of prominent res
idents along the line of street affected
was selected and these men will call
on their neighbors Immediately to get
their opinion on the matter.
If majority of the property own
ers signify a willingness to have this
improvement made on the suggested
plan in order to relieve a situation
which has become an eye sore to all
the city, the special paving commit
tee will at once ask for bids and let
the contract for the work to be COM
pleted within the next few weeks.

BLOWING VIPER
KILLED AT DOVER

The Dover News says While Mr.
George Fulton was cleaning out field
of corn Monday morning, he heard a
strange noise in the bushes at the
edge of the field resembling that made
by a goose, and upon investigation
found that it was being made by a
poisonous snake known as a blowing
viper. Mr.. Fulton succeeded in kill
ing it by the use of his hoe The snake
was black striped with brown, the
under part being copper color. The
viper was about 21a feet long, about
the average length for full grown
snakes of this species. This variety
Of snake is foreign to this part of the
country and was probably carried here
in the drift during the spring.
Mr.. Fulton also discovered a nest
of snake eggs which contained nine

ANNUAL MEETING
OF HEALTH LEAGUE
To Be HELD JULY Y
Prominent State Health Workers on
Program of Annual Meeting Of the
Mason County Health League
State Health Board
Head Coming.

Miss Annie M. Casey, Mason Coun-
ty Health Leagues County Nurse, an
nounces that the annual meeting OF
the Mason County Health League will
be held this year on the evening of
Tuesday, July 22nd. The place of
meeting has not yet been decided up
on but it will probably be the First
Presbyterian church where the meet
ing was held last year.
Much interest will be shown in this
annual meeting as some of most prom
inent Health officials Of the state OF
Kentucky have been procured for the
program. Miss Marion Williamson. of
Louisville, State Superintendent of
Nursing, has promised to be in Mays
VILE for this meeting to deliver an ad-
dress and DR.. A. T. Mccormick, Sec
retary of the State Board Of Health
and the one outstanding figure in all
Kentucky Health improvement, has al
so signified his willingness to be pres
ent and bring a message.
Interest is always taken in this an
nual meeting because of the election
of officers for the year and the annual
report of the Health Nurse and the
County Health officer. These reports
will be especially interesting this
year because of the influenza epidemic
and the great work both of these
Health League officers did to relieve
the situation in Maysville and Mason
county.
There will be other speakers on the
program to be announced later and
indications now are this years annual
meeting will be the biggest and most
interesting held in many years.
