THE CHILIAN OATH.
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.

"How comes it," Asked the Governor,
"thAt you Lave only one came on your

"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

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

was just ten years oi l, and his father
asked biro what he wocld like to have

the bny's jixswct was, " A Lt:k hah het,

The father booht him a lit;,? hatchet

it led Lim iuto te.nptatiou. There was
the trte tall, straight and fair j ui the

This was too much. The boy rushed
into his father's arms.
