gold so thin that it was pliable as cloth
show perforations at top and bottom.
These are 16 by 20 inches in size, and
were probably used as ruffles on the
gown of fashionable Inca princess.
Then she could have had her choice
of any one Of the eight golden breast
plates in the collection and one Of the
many golden crowns, a pair Of the
large fan-shaped ffligree earrings, and
the girdle, three feet long and seven
inches wide, made up of 1873 gold bars,
each four inches long
A necklace is formed of string of

tremendously glad to see you today.
Shirley" he said, and paused beside
her. Fate has been singularly kind
to me. Indeed I've been bordering all
day as to just how I was to arrange a
private and confidential little chat
with you, without calling upon you at
your uncle's house."
II don't feel like chatting today"
she answered "a little drearily-and
then he noted her wet lashes. In
stantly he was on one knee beside her;
with the amazing confidence that had
always distinguished him in her eyes
his big left arm went around her, and
when her hands went to her face he
drew them gently away.
1--we waited too long, sweetheart"
he murmured. THANK God, can tell
you at last all the things that have
been accommodating in my heart. love
you, Shirley. I've loved you from that
first day we met at the station, and
all these months of strife and repres-
sion have merely served to make me
love you the more. Perhaps you have
been all the dearer to me because you
seemed so hOpelessly unattainable"
He drew her head down on his
breast; his great hand patted her hot
cheek; his honest brown eyes gazed
earnestly, wistfully into hers. 81 love
you," he whispered. "All that have
all that I ANAL that I hope for-I
offer to you, Shirley Sumner; and in
the shrine of my heart shall hold you
sacred while life shall last You are
not Indifferent to, me, dear. know
you're not: but tell me-answer me-"
Her violet eyes were uplifted to his.
and in them he read the answer to his
cry. "Ah, may I?' he murmured, and
kissed her.
ooh, my dear, impulsive, gentle big
sweetheart" she whispered-and then
her arms went around his neck, and
the fullness of her happiness found
vent in tears he did not seek to have
her repress. In the safe haven of
his arms she rested; and there. quite
without effort or distress, she managed
to convey to him something more than
an inkling of the thoughts that were
wont to come to her whenever they
met.

DISLIKE SONS TO GROW UP
Few Mothers Welcome the Time When
Their Boys Go Out Into the
Hard World.

Almost every mother keeps her boy
in "knee pants" just as long as she
can; she hates to see him becoming a
man, for she feels that he is getting
away from her.
A mother sees only with reluctance
the boy pass from the love and care
and peace with which she has sur
rounded him, out into the world Of
pitileSs endeavor in which he must
play his part.
The mothers selfish fondness dis
closes itelf in the ludicrous cllild's
garment and the wornout, home-bred
horse with which she sends forth the
would-be knight. These are to the
modern analytical mind painfully SYM
bolic Of the unconscious interference
On the part of parents with the proper
adult equipment of their children for
an independent life. Their apparent
fondness conceals the unconscious wish
that the child will find himself IN
equipped for the greater world and
compelled to turn back to the shelter.

CAREER OF "NED BUNTLINE"
Extremely Popular. Had Singu-
IarIy Adventurous Life.

Ned Buntline," whose real name
was e. z. c. Judson, had career
which was on its plane Rooseveltian,
Gargantuan and Tartarinian. 1t is de-
scribed in "Life and Adventures Of
Ned Buntline,'" by Fred e. Pond, 9TH
erwise VIII Wildwood, says the De-

his home when eleven years old, in
1884, became a sailor and then mid

with seven midshipmen who had de-
clined to mess with him.
When seventeen years old Judson

JudSOn became a mainstay Of the

years and was so violent a begetter of
sensational romances that he once
wrote book of 61O pages in 62 hours.
He turned into patriot with the
Know Nothings, and on account of
his share in the Aston place riot was
sent to the penitentiary for year.
He then took himself to the Adiron-
dacks, which he helped make classic
ground for sportsmen. He served in
the Mexican and Civil wars.
