; There in that square there had been
the. jousts of the knights of the cloth
of gold: there had been held the old
fetes of the comthunes;. there the old
trade guilds had fought out their
fierce quarrels; the gueux had assem-
bled there, and there EgmOnt and
Horne were beheaded. Charles v had
ridden there in pomp and the Duke
Of Alva had stalked across those very
stones; there the cannon balls of Vile

it was all as it is today, those four
gilded facades, that beautiful spire
soaring aloft-on that morning when
some man coming into the square

America-to be told, no doubt, thst

stood there looking down the mod

from the portiere below US rode four
heralds. slowly. with stately tread of
their caparisoned horses; they rode
into the center of the square, lifted
their long trumpets to their lips. held
them pointing upward at a graceful
angle and blew a long fanfare. and.
turning slowly around. blew to- the
four quarters of the square. Then
out from the porter there rolled a
coach Of state. of red and gold, with
coachmen and footmen in scarlet liv- ..
cries and powdered wigs. and then
another coach of state and another
six In all-with the kings and queens
and the princes and the lords and
ladies-in- waiting, and while the
trumpets Of the heralds blew they
rolled slowly around the Grand place
in the light that fell from sky Of
mother-o Of pearl in the mild spring
evening. The delegates Of the cor
porations, the dark mass all around
the square lifted the silken banners
of crimson and gold and cried:

Billina showed her the place where

pressed 1t. and Dorothy dug away the
sand until she felt something hard.
Then. thrusting in her hand. she pulled
the thing out. and discovered 1t to be

still bright and Of perfect shape.

with cackle of triumph. "Can l tell

thing rock?' 81
Its metal, sure enough" answered
the child, gazing thoughfully at the
curious thing she had found. II think
1t is pure goldA and 1t must have lain

ought to know more about locks and
keys than do" 2.
Dorothy glanced around. There was
no sign of any house in that part OF
the country. and abe reasoned that
every key must fit lock and every lock
must have purpose. Perhaps the key
had been lost by somebody who lived far
away, but had wandered on this very
shore.
Musing on these things the girl put
the key in the pocket of her dress and
then slowly drew on her shoes and

advised, and before long the big

How dreadful" exclaimed Doro-

What is dreadful?' asked the hen

bright eye at her companion.

a puzzled tone; how queer you are.

TERRENOS PROPIOS PARA SISAL

ira en- la region montanosa compren-
dida entire Guanica y Yauco. Puede
que tambien Sc extienda en- direction
a Penuelas aunque la creencia es que
hacia esta parte los terrenos son muy
quebrados. La otra zona esta en- la
jurisdiction del rio Guajataca hacia el
interior de Quebradillas.
Ell sisal es mas adaptable a dife-
rentes tipos de terrenos que ell he
Mcqueen. En- la Estacion Experiment
tai Agricola de Mayaguez hay un
gran numero de plantas de ambaS cla-
ses creciendo en- terrenos arcillosos,
pero ell sisal Sc ha desarrollado ge-
neralmente meior.
Existe la opinion de que ell sisal
puede resistir mas ventajosamente las
lluvias de la parte mas humeda de
Puerto Rico.
Ninguna de las dos plantas debe-
ra sembrarse en- lugares donde abun-
den los dias nublados, en- terrenos
que Sc inunden.
