Nights, when his mother did not
oblige him to visit the horne of
some influential voter who must
be kept content, he would spend
reading, no longer, however, as
in Valencia, books lent him by
the canon, but works that he
bought himself, following the
recommendation OF the press,
and that his mother respected with
generation.
These years Of random reading,
unrestrained by the scruples and
the fears OF a student, gradually
and quietly shattered many of
RRfaels firm beliefs. They broke
the mold. In which the friends Of
his mother lad cast hts mind
and made him dream Of broader
life than the one known to those
about him. French novels trans-
ported him 10 q Paris that far
outshone the Madrid he had known
for g. moment in his graduate
days. Love stories awoke in his
youthful imagination an ardor for
adventure and involved passions
In which there was something of
the intense love Of indulgence that
had been his fathers besetting
sin. He came to dwell more and
more in the fictitious world OF
his readings, where there were
elegant, perfumed, clever women,
practicing a. certain art In the re-
finement Of their vices.
The uncouth, sunburned orchard
girls inspired him with revulsiOn
as IL they had been women Of
another race. creatures Of an
inferior genus. The young ladies
OF the city seemed to him peas
ants in disguise, with the narrow,
selfish, stingy instincts Of their
parents. They knew the exact
market price Of oranges and just
how much land was owned by
each aspirant to their hand; and
they adjusted their love 70 the
wealth OF the pretender, belisv-

that country Of marvels; with q
pious canon for a guide, he visited
churches rather than museums.
OF theaters he saw only two
larlxs permitted by his tutor,
whose austerity was somewhat
modified in those changing
scenes. Indifferently they passed
the famous artistic works Of the
Italian churches, but paused n.
ways to venerate some relic with
miracles as famous as absurd.
Even 20, Rafael managed to eaten
a confused and passing glimpse
of world different from the one
in which he was predestined 70
pass his life. From q distance ne
sensed something Of the love OF
pleasure and romance he had
drunk In like an Intoxicating
wine from his reading.
That journey, Of Impressions as
rapid and fleeing as & reel OF
moving pictures, leaving In
Rafael's mind a maze OF names,
buildings, paintings and cities,
served to give greater breadth TO
his thinking, as well as added
stimulus to his imagination.
Wider still became the gulf that
separated him from the people
and ideas he met In his common
everyday life. He felt q longing
for the extraordinary, TOR the
original, for the advepturesome-
ness OF artistic youth.

his imagination could range In
greater freedom, peOpling the
roads, the meadows, the orange
groves with creatures Of fancy,
often conversing aloud with the
heroine OF some grand passion, "
carried on along the lines laid
down by the latest novel he had
read.
One afternoon toward the close
of summer Rafael climbed the
little mountain Of San Salvador,
which lies close to the city. From
the eninence he was fond Of look
ing out over the vast domains of
his family. For all the Jnhabi-
tants Of that fertile plain were

nON ANDRES took charge OF
settling Rafael in Valencia when
he began his university studies.
The dream OF old Don jaime, dis
iIlusioned in the son, would be full
filled in the third generation.
Rafael was good behavior itself;
q model boy, q serious" young
man, the good canon assured the
mother. The distinctions and the
prizes that came to him in Alcira
continued to pursue him In VAL
encia: and, besides, DON Ramon
and his wife learned from the
papers of the triumphs achieved
by their son in the debating So
ciety.
And whenever Rafael came
home for the holidays or on va
cation, each time taller than be-
fore, dressed like q fashion-plate
and with mannerisms that che
took for the height OF distinction.

herself with the satisfaction Of q

Chapter III.
When Dona Bernardo found
herself alone, and absolute mis-
tress Of her home, she could not
conceal her satisfaction.
Now they would see what q
woman could do.
She counted on the advice and
experience Of Don Andres, who
was closer than ever to her now;
and on the prestige Of Rafael, the
young lawyer, who babe fair to
sustain the reputation Of the
Brulls.
The power of the family con.
tinued unchanged. Don Andres,
who, at the death of his master,
had succeeded to the authority OF
q second father in the Brull house,
saw to the maintenance Of rela-
tions with the authorities at the
provincial capital and with the
still bigger fish in Madrid. Pc
titions were heard in the patio the
same as ever. Loyal party adj
herents were received az. cordially
as before and the same favors
were done, nor was there any de-
cline Of influence in places that
DON Andres referred to as s'the
spheres OF public administration.
There came an election for Par
lament, and as usual, Dona Ber-
Tlarda secured the triumph Of the
individual whose nomination had
been dictated from Madrid. Don
Ramon had left the party ma
chine In perfect condition; all 1t
needed was enough grease to
keep It running smoothly; and
there his widow was besides, ever
alert at the slightest suggestion
Of creak In the gearing.
At provincial headquarters they
spoke OF the district with the
usual confidence:
''It's ours. Brull's son Is as
powerful az the old man him
self"
The truth was that Rafael took
little interest I'm ''the Party" He
looked upon 1t as one If the
family properties. the title to
which no one could dispute. He
confined his personal activities 10
obeying his mother.
The only time he entered into
voluntary relations with 'fthe
Party was when he took his pen
in hand and manufactured Tor the

on Law and Morality" and Lib
erty and Faith"-the rehashings
Of a faithful, industrious plodder

BABIES and children, the same as
adults, grow weary of being fed
the same food in the same way each
day. 1t Is true that most children take
naturally to milk, but that does not
mean that they must be fed 1t ad
nauseam. On the contrary, that is the
very thing to be avoided.
Pediatricians advise consumption by
children of a quart of milk a day in
n form or another. This does not
mean skim milk. but whole milk. for
the skinned product Is lacking both
In butter fat and the essential food
element known as vitamin A, which is
found In butter fat. Many mothers
do not appreciate that removal of
cream from the top of a bottle of
milk results In skim milk.
In evaporated milk, a product rec
commended by many leading doctors
for the use of infants and children
and which Is simply pure cows milk
sterilized In cans and with sixty per
cent Of the water removed, there Is
no cream line. The milk In the top
of q car is the same as 1t Is in the
bottom of the container. This re-
suits from a process called ~homogeniz-
alton, In which the fat globules In
the milk are broken up into such
microscopic bits that they remain In
homogeneous suspension. Every drop
of ~homogenized milk has a buttery
taste because 1t contains butter fat.
For this reason, In evaporated milk.
there Is none of the fiat taste one
finds In drinking from the bottom of a
bottle of market milk.
In order to avoid feeding the baby
or child plain milk three or four times
a day, many authorities recommend
the use Of a mixture Of fruit Juice and
milk, a highly palatable and refresh
Ing drink.
Following is a recipe worked out
by experts for an orange-milk drink:
Mix in a fruit jar B Of a cupful of
orange juice, a OF a cupful of evap-
milk, three t~easpoonfuls of
II %teaspoonful of lemon juice
and a few grains of salt. Shake well
before serving.
