The city of Va'paraijo is one of the moat important open the Facitic ccat. Take them altogether the people of Chili show the most enterprise and seem the beet adapted for Republican Government of any in Sooth America, yet the com mon people are of dark, revecjefal na ture, and feir foreigners find farcr in their eyes. Bit with the dark eyed maidens of Chili it is different, and Yan kee sailor always like to rnn into "Vl paraioa" for cruise oa ehore, and a hap py time tbey have generally. ed 'Wilton landed from the bri Ves per, whkh bad cpran a topmast and stove in ber quarter in a etorm in the Suth Pacific It was a two weeks' job to rent, and ad Ned was a man to be trtstf d the old man gave him a free ran on shore. 'ed wasn't much of a tnan to drinki And most of bis time was spvnt in ramb ling about on the beautiful mountain slopes, getting acquainted with theda.-i-ey-d beauties of the city and country, and enjoying himself generally. One day while exploring the country ten in lies to the north and east of the city, be was attracted by the soand of voices load in dispute, and thee came a woman's cry for help. Dashing throch tLe bushes Ned came oat in a little or n space, where te saw beautiful girl, whom he bad met at a fandango in Val paraiso, straggling in the grajip of a dark looking Chilian, who, if he was cot a villian, ought to have had a quarrel a ith his face. "See here, my ocu, said XeJ, "you'd belter drop it, or you may chance to get youslf into trouble. "That advice might be as well applied to yourself, senor," replied the man with a dark, savage frown. '"If you will take my advice, given in the most friendly s:iri', yon will taSe yjrsf If oil and at tend to any business of yoar own which you may chance to have on I And. No man ever interfered with Manuel Gode na who did not repent it." 'Ill hAve to leave it to theycung IaIt," said Xed, quietly. "If she says that I'm in the way I II w alk ctT.as you say. but not before.' "No, no!" cried tbe girl. "Do not leave me Alone with this mm." "Thais all right," said XeJ. "You see that the senora claims my help Man" nel Godena, and IH have to trouble yon to gt np And travel." The man drew a knifd and mAde a dafh At him. Neil knocked it out of his hand and then and thera gave him such a thrashing as he Lad never received in his life. Then stripping' him of bis weapon, be kicked him indosUioaaly down the slope, for it "riled"' him to have A man draw a knife. The Chilian at lait took to his heela, end when once out of reach cf Ned's No. S boot turned and shook his hand at him in a memu irg manner. "Hear me, Americano," he his-sed, "I vow to the saints not to take rest oreieep until I have revenge on you." Ned answered by a 'contemptuous laugh, aud whirling cn his heel went back to the lady, who was trembling with fear. "Let rce escort yon safely front this place," be said. "You are hardly safe here." "Thanks, tenor. That man is my cousin, and this morning he undertook to eocort me to tbe house of my uncle, whr has a cattle ranch over yonder. Eut w hen we reached this place he seized me And swore that he would airry me to the f haunt cf the bandit Roaia and there keep me until I promised to marry him." "He is a land pirate," said Ned, "and deserves keel hAuling if ever a mAn did." "I do not understand that senor." said the girl, with a merry smile. "But I shall be your dettor forever if you will go with me to my uncle's bouse." "I am quite at your eervic?," said Ned gallantly ; "but I do not know the way joa wi.-h to go." "This war, senor." She struck into a forest path after a glance at the manly face of the Yankee Sailer. That glance was enough, for it showed her that aba was Absolutely sale with him, no matter where she might chooee to go. An hoar's ride brought thera to an opening, and oa the slope of the tobiado before them thev saw a fine ranch sur rounded oy buildings and curra! for cattle. This ia the pUce, Senor Americano," she said. "Will you not come to the house and let my ancle thank youT "I do cot want any thanks for An Act which no man could hAve refused to per form, but I will go in. Will you give me your name? Mine is Edward Wilton, and I am second mate of the brig Vesp er. "And mine is IsoLa Mendex, I remem ber you, senor. I danced with you At the fandango in Valparaiso Last week." Tbey entered the house and were met by Senor Mendex, the uncle of Isola. lie beard her story And thAnked the young American warmly for the part he had performed. But Ned stopped him. "It annoys me to be thanked for so light a service," said Ned. "Please do notaay anything more about it." "I will try and thAnk you in some other way, tenor," said the ranchero, warmly. "Now you must make a stay with me, if your business will willow it, and Iwill try to make it pleasant for you." "I have ft week of liberty oa shore," said Ned, "And then Iasit be off. I ac cept your invitation with pleasure senor." Three or four Jats passed pleasantly, the ranchero doing bis best to invent TT APHEL 20, 1892. new pleasures for the youug American. Isola was a pleasant companion, and Ned was very sorroy when the time drew near for him to leave. Tbe lAst day of his suy the two roe's oot Among the fo thills. And it was plain to see that they were deeply in love. As they halted for a moment in a breezy canyon a dozen horsemen suddenly sur rounded them. Xed mAde a gallant fight And shot one of hi aa:Ianta and mortally wounded another before he was overpowered. In the leader of these mountain bandits he recognized Manuel Godena. "I told you thit I would not rest until I had revenge, accursed Americano," he hiwed. "No, IadIa" But the girl, giving her horse the rein, brcke suddenly through the ranks of the men who surrounded her, fir they had not taken the trouble to Mcnre her, And setciTata mad ?a'.'.op, c'oeely pursued by four or five-cf the bandits. But there was not a .man in Chili who could ride with Isola Mendez, And as they pissed j out cf sight all could se that she was j gaining rapidly And was likely to escape, j A cry of rage buret from the lips of GoJe- ; na. "Now, ten thousicd curses on the r'rl 1" he cried. "I meant that she shculd witucis my punishment of her Yankee lover ; but at leart we have him secure. 1 lace tutu against the rock there ith his hands and feet bound. Make Lim fat. so thAt he cannot fa'l down. The men obeyed And Godena dismount ed with a pistol in hand. Ned, held in his place by his bonds, looked him bold ly in the face. Advancing a pace the miscreant aioied at him, changing his aim from time to time to dist ets the prisoner. Eat Ned did cot give the slightest Tgn of fear. At last the pistol exploded and the ball tore throngh the fleshy part cf his shoulder. "One P said G'jJena, producing anoth er pistol. '"I am g iicg to hit you oa the other side." Again be fired, and the other shocMer was torn by the ball. "You bla-.k -hearted hound ! cried XeJ, "if you think to wrin? a sir.g'e :tt from me you are mistaken. Go on, siv Aa,,ciir.p!r'.e v our bloody work." Godena, with the grin of a fiend, took to other pistols from the hands of one of the men. Again he fired, intending to pierce the arm of the young sailor, but this time he missed. "Poor practice," said NeiL "Try igain, wy dear fellow." Ths fourth pistol cracked. And Ned gave a start and shiver, for Lis left arm had been pierci-J. Godena was very ai)gry, for in spiteof the torture, he had not been able to wring a groan from the gallant young uian. HioJin Lis puMois caiefit!! he stepped clcse to the prisoner and aain and again touched Liai with the muzz'es of the cch. ke.1 pistols over the heart, upo.a t the foreheAd, ia every vital part, but he did not flinch. "Why don't you end it,cowArdIy dog?" cried Ned. "I will end it." replieI Godena step ping back a single pace. "Thus Manuel Godena Avergps himself." He raised the pistol in his right band to A level w ith his heart of the prisoner, an i was About to pull the trigger, when a ritla cracked on the mountain side above them and Manuel G'xlcr.a shot through the heart, fell upon his face, deal. At the same time a store of stock men And rancheros chased down the canyon And the bandits turned in flight, pursued by the Ler 1 riders, led by Senor Mendex. Then Ned fainted from loss of blood, and when he came back to life h's bonds had been removed end he lay upon the green sod. his head fallowed upon the knee of Isola MeoJci. "Io not move," she said softly. "You teniol" (I love you." Ned Wilton recovered from his wounds but not soon enough to sail in the Vesrer. Indeed, be never left Chili, And is cow a rich ranchero, and tbe name of his wife was once IsoIa Mendez. An Eccentric Judgment. Captain King, at one time Governor in An Australian Colony, was noted for hi, eccentricities. OLie day he was wait ed on by two prisoners suing for pardon. The petition of the one was signed by aII the leading men in Sjdney ; thAt of the other bore but -.ne came. "How comes it," Asked the Governor, "thAt you Lave only one came on your petition, while this man Lasso many?" "I have lived with only one master all my time, sir," said the man. "I don't know anybody else." The Governor immediately gave Lim Lis pardon, bat dLsrcissed the other ap plicant with the remark i "You know so many rich people that yoa don't need anything more.' Om ricf Kir.y. T6n Truthtful Thoughts. When we feel the narrowness of these lives of ours, each in its own. small circle, we are consoled by knowing that every star mast move within its limits, though space be Around it. The rich Are only enviable in one at tribute their power being ti help the poor. It ia only in lookiugoc death that we comprehend immortality, And only utter weariness gives prorobe of perfctness. The friend who becomes a lover con tinues stilt to be a friend ; but the lover who becomes a friend ceases forever to be a lover. When it is said of a mAn that he treats men And women just Alike, youniAj be sure he treats them a'I as if they were men. SatEcient unto the day is the evil there of; bat suiS .'lent unto a lifetime is often the evil of a single day. Children are taught more than they ever learn And learn more than they Are ever tA tight. Ojr bodies live in houses, because our souls iive in bodies. Wisdom, like many other human At tributes, is only for the time. We are wise to-day thAt to-morrow we may lock bAck and say, "How foolish we were." The desire to teach is stronger than the desire to lean. V.'e only study thit we may be enabled to impart again. LnlUf It is said that a maa In Chicago owns An Ape w ho steals his master's shoes And blacks them with ink. We've heard of monkey-shines before, but this beaU a. A IPS! A Sad Story. A little boy Laving heard a beAUtifuI story About Another Utile boy acd a hatchet, and how, because the little hoy wouldn't tell a He. he in time got to be President of the United States, was very much impreiod by it. Now, it bap pened that on the last day of March he was just ten years oi l, and his father asked biro what he wocld like to have for a birthday present. Very naturally the bny's jixswct was, " A Lt:k hah het, if you plcise, papa." The father booht him a lit;,? hatchet that very day, an i the boy was so de lighted that he actually hx,k it to led with Lim. Kirly the next morning he got op, dre-d Li:E5!f, took his li'-tl hAtchet and went out into the garden.
