open shore, and to the cabin, tapping,
every few steps, the pocket where the
pearl lay. He went straight to the
spring.
You should eat supper NIT me,
hain'dt it," he said, the dripping
gourd poised in his hand.
"Sure. But I'm not much on that
friend-of yours. / think I'll leave be-
fore he comes"
The Pearlhunter had for some time
Deen debating with himself whether
or not to warn Solomon of the danger
GUS character of the man that was COM
ing. The one consideration that kept
him, from speaking was the fact that
he had no proof-certain knowledge,
but no proof He decided not TO speak
yet.
"You no like him?" The Jew
laughed easily, hung the gourd back
on the stick and stood looking out over
the landscape spreading away under
the genial sunshine.

piano REQUIRES Fine Timber.

There is no other industry for which
a greater variety of fine timber is re-
CURED. and none in which the timber
must be seasoned more carefully than
building. The varieties include
Canadian spruce, American oak and
whitewood, Honduras mahogany and
best English beech. Sounding boards
are made of Swiss pine, the "Ahies
Exceisa," which is nothing but the
Christmas tree with which we are all
so familiar. All this timber has to
be seasoned In special heating

DAYS together to a powerful draft of
dry air. 1t was not until more than
half of the eighteenth century had
passed that the piano became popu'

GHOSTLY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend of the City Of Mexico That
Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super
stitious Residents.

One of the strange legends Of the
City OF Mexico has to do with the Gale
de los Parados (Street Of the Two
Idlers). According to the story there
was beautiful girl Dona Maria Ysa-
bel de Vallejo v Vezca, who lived on
the street, and was beloved by two
men, one a young officer and the other
a young merchant. After the custom
of the land at that period (about 1650)
they indicated their love by standing,
one at each corner of the block, until
the dona appeared.
A plague fell upon the city about
this time and the girl died without it
becoming known to her lovers. She
was taken out and buried by night,
also unknown to the suitors. The
next day they stood at their respective
posts waiting in vain. The day after
they stood, and the day after that,
week after week, month after month,
and year after year. They at last
died. still on their posts, and their
ghosts are said to still stand at night,
cloaked and CHASTITY, in the darkest
shadows Of the streets.

only name he has-learnS from
her q part of the story of her SAD
life. He meets a young girl
whom he mentally christens the
Wild Rose. She eludes him be-
fore he can make her acquaint-
ance. A vacant cabin on the
shore has attracted the attention
of the ailing woman, and they
move into it. Their first meal is
interrupted by the Man-in-the-
Fancy-Vest. Pearlhunter strikes
him. Gunplay threatens. The
mother dramatically drives the
intruder away. She says he Is
the "Other Man." whom she has
not seen for 20 years. They find
a red mask dropped by the other
Man. That night Pearlhunter
finds the Blue Moon, a great
freshwater pearl. His mother
dies without revealing his ia
TIERS name. Pearlhunter and the
Other Man meet in the village;
a pistol fight is narrowly averted-
Pearlhunter believes him to be
the Red Mask criminal. Pearl
hunter. rescues Wild Rose from
the Other Man and meets Wild
Man, her father. He is a man of
culture, crazed from concussion
of the brain. the result of an at
tack by someone wearing a red
mask Nobody knows his iden-
tity; he is known at the post Of
fee simply as Box %. Pearl
hunter proposes that he sell the
Blue Moon and send for a sur
geon to operate. Wild Rose
agrees. Pearlhunter sells the

face. the Jew began to search him !:
pockets; hens; waist-band; socks |;
even his hatband, ears and hair. OF
course the search again proved fruit
less. The Jew drew his revolver,
cooked 1t, and thrust it into the Pearl
hunters face.
"Where ISIS it?"
The bearded lips were drawn so
tense that the yellow teeth were bare.
The Pearlhunter knew the yellow
teeth meant exactly what they seemed
to mean. Louie SolOmons three
guardsmen had reputation along the
Wabash. The reward for the Red
Mask was the same whether dead or
alive. Still, his death would not bring
them any nearer finding the pearl. He
pinned his hope there, and shook his
head.
