A MEXICAN SWEETHEART
S
Far out in the wilds of the Mexican sierras, about one day's travel west of
Guadalupe y Calvo, the trud leading from Morales leaves the ridge along which it climbs and plunges down into the depths of the Canyon de Muerto, there winding' in and out of the pines and bowlders until it reaches the ford 0( a stream, the Uio Chico. which rushes through the gorge aud oa its wild flight for the sea. Down this trail, lato in the afternoon of a day some few years ago, rode a young man, Jack Ilawlston, the new manager of the Alta Mining company, then on his way to take charge of 4,..ir mines near Morales, lie was
wrapped close in an oilskin slicker, for
the raiu was falling as it xaus oniy in the mountains of Mexico. Reaching' the ford he drew his mule in under the shelter of uu overhnnging bluff and impatiently awaited the coming of his men, whose shouts and curses could be heard in the canyonside above as they urged to greater speed some half a dozen pack animals, slowly pickiug their way down the slippery trail. As they drew near, one of the men, Pancho, who acted as a guide, hurried to Hawlston's side and, pointing to the stream, now a rushiug torrent, cried: "Valgame Dios, the little river is very great this day! There is much water, .senor, and deep. We no can crov; not until to-morrow, when it will be well. Si, senor, cn lo manaua 'sta 'ueno." "Yes, but to-night, man! Wc can't camp here; there is not enough level ground to raise a teuton. Get us out of this!" exclaimed Ilawlston. "Seuor," replied the man, as he drew ivnt .r.m closer about him. "a lit
tle rancho lies down the river a short -way, where lives Juau Montano. Will the senor go there?" "Will the senor go there'." shouted Rawlston. "Yes, confound you, boiabre, the senor wilL Move on!" With a cry of Ad-e-lan-te! Vamonos!" and swearing great mouth-filling Mexican oaths at his assistants as well as nt the mules, Pancho started thn train down the canyon on its way to a little valley of just a few hundred acres, nestled there where the gorge widened out aseithcr wall spread away in great broken ridges, sweeping grandly off to the south.
It was hardly a rancno. tins piace 01 Juan Moutano;s. only a few patches of growing maize and frijoles.amid which, in a grove of pines, rested i house of logs with a wide portico roughly thatched with bundles of cornstalks, while a jacal a roofed palisade of poles chinked and covered with adobe mud adjoined the house on one side, .serving as a kitchen. As Rawlston, leading the way, approached from the valley, a dog gave the alarm, and an elderly man, muflled in a scrape and slowly putting a cigarrito. came out into the portico, -while at the low door of the jacal, amid the whiffs of smoke within, ap
peared a brown-faced woman, ami uehind her three girls, shyly peeping forth at the stranger as he drew up and asked for accommodation for the night. "Si, senor," replied Juan, in response to his request "Dismount and come in from the rain. My house is at your service; entrar, senor, entrar," and he took the Winchester that Rawlston lianded him, giving it a lingering B-lasee as he placed it carefully against the wall. "And supper, senor," he continued, "will you have supper? Si? 'Sta 'ueno," and, reaching up. he seized one of a nmlHr nf chickens perched beneath
the roof, wrung its neck, tossed it over
to the woman, saying: "For the senor; and coffee and milk, pronto. And give to the mozos of tortillas and frijoles a plenty!" Turning, and with: "Permit me. senor." to Rawlston, who was engaged in removing ids wet slicker, Juan drew the Winchester from its scabbard and critically examined it, exclaiming as he did so: "Muy bonito carbino, senor. Once I possessed one; not like this, senor a carbine but caramba! an InAnn .!. itin.iv thn devil take his
V4 l I Oiwiw j soul and I am too poor to buy an-! other. I miss it much, senor, for it furnished me meat. Why, only yes-, terday morning two deer stood just over there eating the corn, but" He paused for an instant, then called: "Chonita, niia, come here." A girl clad in a simple garment of rough material passed from the jacal, a girl whose supple, rounded form possessed perfect grace, and as she came forward Ilawlston started as he gazed on her Latin-Indian beauty. "My daughter. Chonita, senor," said Juan. The girl raised her dark eyes to meet his, and her clear, olive-brown skin became suddenly tinged with her southern blood. "She can shoot," continued Juan, as he handed her the rifli! spnor. even better "
A flock of chattering parrots passing overhead caught his eye, Glancing at them, than at Rawlston: "One shot, senor, permit her." Ilawlston nodded, then watched the girl as she raised the gun, saying: "See! the one in the lead" a report, and the bird fell, a mangled mass of
flesh and feathers. She handed the rifle to Rawlston, her lips parted, and her bosom slightly heaving with the momentary excitement. Again their eyes met, then she turned and harried back to the jacal. His gaze followed her, and half unconsciously he was dreamingly compiring her with another, a blue-eyed, fair-haired tromaa of the north, when suddenly he noticed she was barefooted.
He seated himself on a bench near the doorway, vaguely watching his men as they unpacked and removed the saddles from the steaming mules, and gazing even beyond, out over the mountains to where rested a dense bank of clouds, from which darted oc
casional flashes of llL'htnlnir followed
by low, bellowing peals of thunder that rolled with great hollow echoes across the heavens. The rain fell on the thatched rool above him with a muffled, pattering sound, and he rested thnru hiit in reverie, dreaming of her who awaited him in a distant city his promised wife. After awhile Chonita came to the
door and told him that his supper was
reidv. Dreamily he heard her voice
and raised his head. She i-.tood with
her dark hair falllnir in a disordered
mass over her shoulders, one bare arm

sill, hor bodv nartlv turned, showlnir
the beautiful lines of h;r figure as she
hesitated, as though fascinated by his ' look, and trazed into his eves as a little
child mieht. and vet not. for there was
to her a strange attraction about this
Americano, this man of the baxon race who was so unlike the men of her own, that caused her heart to flutter wildly. He looked at her for a long while, and tliin nrnsi. Slip drew aside to allow
him to nnss into the house, and. as he did
so, a gust of wind blew her hair across
his face.
During the months that followed
r Rawlston Wcame a frequent visitor at
the little rancho, stopping over nigni while traveling between the mines and Guadalupe y Calvo. One afternoon, as the glory of the sunset spread slowly across the valley, Rawlston rode un to the rancho, where,
Undine no one at home, he left his
mule and climbed the trail that led to a little spring in a gulch back of the house. Chonita was there filling an nlln hut sha did not hear him as he
approached, not until he stood at her
side. Then she started, ana as sne
arose she slipped on the wet clay and would have fallen had he not caught
hor in his arms.
He felt her tremble as he held her,
and drew her closer to him, asking: "Are you hurt, Chonita?" "N'o. sitior." she renlied.
He saw her lips quiver and. as she raised her face to his. he read from the
depths of her eyes her secret, and he bent and kissed her. murmuring
"Sweetheart!" Then he released her
and stood leaning against a tree.
writrhinc her as she descended the
trail.
He had not been totally unconscious of her love, though at first it seemed to him but the admiration of a mere
child; but now he understood, and it
wrouirht a stranire influence over him.
He knew that his love was strong and true for the woman who alone bound
him to the life he had left behind, yet
hn felt how easy it would be, were it
not for her. to drift into the customs
ami admit the modes and morals of the
people of that fair Mexican land, for
there was a certain charm in meir .isv-iroiiiir. lamruorous life, with its
beauty and its rcstfulncss. that hadap-
r,.il..l tn him from the very nrau in
some strange way that he could not
understand, and yet which seemed per
fi'etlv natural to him. he longed to re
main there, nwav from the world, as it
were, until the end; and he pictured her. nfllanced wife, there with him.
and he laughed. His reverie was not
broken: the woman alone changed.
ml lu wondered how life would be
with Chonita just for a time.
And Chonita! she reached the house
and hurried to her room, where she dropped on her knees before a little
shrine. "Oh. Dios!" she said, "I am so L'lad! What have I done that I should
be so happy! Thank you, God."
Slowly night came on. supper was over, and the room was but dimly lighted by a sputtering tallow dip and ! the faintly flickering blaze of the open fire in the jacal adjoining. Rawlston I leaned back in his chair, slowly smok- ' ing and watching Chonita as she i moved about putting away the supper ; things, and he became dully conscious of a desire to take her in his arms 1 again, to hold her and to feel her i tr ml ile-
After awhile she brought him a cup
of coffee and took from his-saddlebag a flask of cognac that he always carried there, and placed i. on the table at his side. He touched her hand, and iuto her eyes came a look of longing almost passionate, and her lips parted as though to speak, but her father enter-inn-the ronm khc turned away and
sank in a huddled heap on the floor at
the kitchen door. Juan had been cleaning the rifle which Rawlston had allowed him to use for a week past, and seating himself at the. table, giving the gun a few fliiitdiini touches with a trreasy rag, ho
I exclaimed: "Ah, senor, it is a grand gun. Madre de Dios, but the shots I 1 made! 1 would give my soul for such a one!" "nt beintr the devil. Juan. I cannot
take your soul, but what else will you give?" said Rawlston. "Senor. I have nothing but my two burros and a cow I might spare a little maze and frijoles, too, perhaps." Rawlston laughed, then poured soma cognac into the coffee, drank it, and, leaning back against the wall, said: "Juan, I'll give you the rifle if you will give me" "What?" cried Juan. rhnnitA."

4mm th kitchen, nodded her head.
mnd echoed: "cs. it is well.
And Chonita, she was very happy, for she was but a child of nature. The home to which Rawlston took her, his quarters at the mines, seemed, with their meager, yet comfortable surroundings, a perfect palace to Chonita. and the clothing that came from Guadaupc amazed the girl She could i utiiterM-iml that she was to wear
slippers and stockings every day, nei-
thcr why sue was to uress ncr jimr. v first it grew irksome to her to remain dressed as he would have her, and at time coming home, he would find her as he first saw her -the one loose garment, her hair In disorder and barefooted. When he woald remonstrate
she would laugh and throw her arm
about his neck and kiss him, but after awh'l she grew accustomed to ber new mode of dress. The days passed away into raoaths, but, tluy did not bring to Rawlstoa the easii of life he had hoped for when he brought Chonita to his home, and he wondered why the Ideal was always more beautiful than the real. After
all. it had only been an experiment.
and it had failed; yet even had it not.
he realized that eventually lie woum have returned to the old life for the sake of her who awaited him there. Then he thought of what would come
to Chonita. the child who loved him so.
after he was gone; for leave her he
must, and his soul cried out within him against, not so much what he bad
r dnn.v as what he was about to do.
One evening he sat before the fire in
hi nnarters. eniraired ia kiokintr over
the weekly mail, while Chonita rested at bis feeü cuddled in a little heap in
the warmth, and with her head pil
lowed against his knee.
"Chonita, dear. I must leave you

She started and snrantr to her feet.
Her heart beat wildlv. and into her
great dark eyes came a strange, wild
look. "You are going to to her: sne er-eil. throwing her arm violently
toward the photograph. "You are go

at him for an instant: then the little
fimire forgot its oueenlv bearinir and

bing out tenderly: "Ah. say it is not so you are all the one I have to love
all I have!"
He touched one little hand that rest

said. "Pool little thing!"
She lay at his feet, her whole body
quivering.
He could not bear to see ner suner ... i t i l

Why not lie to her; why not let her be-
lie-vc that he would return? lcs, wny not? It would make it easy for her
now, and in time she would learn to
forget. He lifted her gently up and folded her in his arms. "Chonita," he
said, "I will come back to you. dear. I
must go, but it is only for a little
while, a few months, lou can wan for me with your father at the rancho
only for a few months, sweetheart.' She drw herself from his arms and
sat on his knee, her dark eyes watchin the. fire very softly. Suddenly she
I turned and gazed at him for along
while, then said slowly:
"You are not going to her, and you
will return to me?"
He said. "I am not going to her, and
I will return to you."
She looked him in the eyes, ana
seemed to doubt. After awhile she
arose, and taking the photograph from the shelf, she brought it to him, say

He hesitated an instant, then arose.
The hot blood came to his face; then.
because he pitied her, he made the
sacriflce and she believed.
A few- davs laier he left the mine.
and, sendimr his servants on with the pack-train toward Guadalupe y Calvo,
he took Chonita to her lathers nome. With Juan he made his peace with mure nesos than the old man had ever
hoped to possess, but he told him, as
he had Chonita, that he would return.

was ready for his departure, and at
the last moment, be went to wnere Chnnita sat weeoinir in the doorway

Throtii-h her tears she saw at her

'Gone for good!" she echoed. "No! lie

"The new boss says he is going north

Tariffs ad Wae. Those writers who contend that wages are no higher bow than they
were under the McK-tniey tarirt n iney
establish their point uo not prove enough. Their contention before the present tariff was passed was that a lowered tariff woald reduce wage that the rate of wages which had prevailed in this country under a high tariff could not be continued under a lowered one. To that statement we took exception, and la it the facts are fully sustaining us. Wc have nev?
claimed that the tariff was an atrencv
to increase or to lower wages; on the contrary, wc have hold that wages were greater or less from causes Independent of tariffs. The attempt to persuade the working classes that it w to hicrh tariffs tiiev owed hizh

Tho P a:o U bow called AIn Qadces. -tho holy wclL I.K.SSOX KOTKH. Everything was now ready for taking possession of their new home, provided the tieoplc had the necessary faith and courage. Accordingly, as wo learn from his own account in Deuteronomy (1:110-21), Moses commanded them ia tho niiinc of Jehovah to go up and take possession of the land. The whole people (I)cut. 1:22) asked. Moses to first send out spies to investi
gate. This was WIM miner wu u eumstances, that is, tho next wisest thing to going fonvard, trusting in God, and therefore pleased Moses (l)eut. 1:23), and it was so directed by üod (Num. 13: 12). Accordingly. Moses selected twelve leading men best fitted for the service. "Get vo up this way southward: llettcras in it. v., by tho south, not referring nt all to the direction from tho Ism elites' camp, but to a well-defined tract of territory forming" the .southernmost and least fertile portion of tho hind of Canaan. It was called "Tho Nc-eb" or Tho South Country, literally, "the dryness." "Into the mountain,"
the mountainous region. 10. "Whether in tents (i. e.. open villages and camps), or in strongholds: walled cities and strongholds. 20. "The time of the first ripo grapes:" In Palestine this occurs in July and August. The spies went tho whole length of thu land, to the base of the Lebanon mountains (v. 21). 23. "And they came," on their return, "unto the brook Eshcol," the rich valley Immediately to the north of Hebron; described by Robinson as producing the largest and best grapes in all Palestine, besides pomegranates, figs, apricots, quinces and other fruits In abundance. Cook. "One cluster of
grapes, and . . . hare it uciwecu wu upon a staff:" Single clusters are mentioned weighing ton or twelve pounds. The arrangement referred to In the text was probably made, not because tho weight was too great for one person to carry, but in order to prevent the grapes from being crushed. Ellicott. 24. "Called the brook Eshcol:" that is, a cluster, a hunch. 25. "And they returned:" The Egyptian records show that there was then frequent communication between
Egypt and Syria. TUisenauies us to understand how it was possible for twelve Hebrews to spy out the land without interruption. They had simply to assume the character of Egyptians, from which country they had lately come. Land und Hook. 20. "And shewed them the fruit of the land:" as visible proof of its fertil
ity27. "Floweth with milk and honey:" a poetic expression of the luxuriance and richness of its productions. 2S. "Nevertheless the people bo strong:" They were large, active and trained to war. "Wo saw the children of Analc there:" In verse M they nro called giants, in whose presence the spies seemed like grasshoppers. 20. "Amalekites:" who dwelt on tho borders of the "south country." and who had already attacked them onco (Ex. 17: S-lCj. These were the first enemies to be overcome. "The Ilittites:" a great warlike nation, whoso remains have lately been discovered. "The Jebusites:" These held the region round about Jerusalem. They were the most formidable of all the nativo population. Hush. They held tho citadel of Jerusalem even till the timo of David. "The Amorites:" mountaineers. "Cannanites:" lowlanders. "Coast:" borders. UO. "And Caleb," with Joshua (14: 0), "stilled the people," who grew restless and excited as the difficulties in tho way were presented, enforced by tho nsMinufce of the other ten spies that they could not take possession of tho
land. "Let us go up at once ... for we are well able to overcome it," "for the Lord is with us." 31. The other ten said: "We be not able to go up against tho people, for they are stronger than we." Hut God was stronger than their enemies. 32. "A land that eatcthup the inhabitants thereof:" Either (1) n land of scarcity, unable to support its inhabits; or (2) an unhealthy land, where tho people nre consumed by pestilence, or (3) full of strife, and discord, and war among the tribes contending for supremacy within it. 33. "Giants, and wc were in their sight as grasshoppers:" so greatly did their faithless fears distort the facts. The result was that the people refused to go and take possession of their land. Tho ten spies were smitten with the plague and died. Every person, over twenty years of age must die be
fore tho nation could enter uanaaa, and tho people must endure a fortyyears' discipline in tho wilderness. Only the two faithful spies, of all the people, should sea the land of promise and realize their lonpf cherished hopes. A few days later, ashamed of their cowardice, stung by their punishment for it, they determined to go up and conquer the Canaanites, contrary to God's command, and without his pretence they suffered a disgraceful defeat.
