These, and others like them, came to look ujmiii Manaliiio its their base for supplies ; the place grew in imixirt aiue ; people from a farther district be gan to come higher, and many riders, in fantastic dress, were seen upon the streets. Some of these riders it would have b -cn diilicult to classify. They were crtaiuly neither ranchmen nor miners. It might not have l-ceii t serious mat ter to t!l them gamblers. Some of them were more than susperted of having hi lj-sl to "hoM up" the Fort Skm Ion tage mi occ:isioii ; more than onerHle a horse for which he had nev er exchanged an equivalent. In the terse vernacular of the south west, they were simply "lad men."

Among these 'Lad men," the name iXimiiigo Juarez KhI all the rest, and it was decided by those having author ity in the matter that Juarez mut "g, preparatory ti the establish men t of an orderly community. When Armcda Torrcon nale into Maiiaiill that afternoon to exchange a goat's fleece for a measure of meal she learned that matters of grave im portance were afoot. A good three leagues from Manalillo was the ranch where Viocntio Torrcon, her fithcr hired a few goats and b:tked in the sun all day, asking little in life except to be left alone. The night was still as it was white, except for the far yelping of a coyote or at the toot of an owl. ftera tini'i the sound of distant h'Miflieats was added to these. A horst- mati drew in siglit, stihotitted ag-iin-t the clear sky, rtKle up to them at an eay lope and halted in front of the hut. 'Voti tire glad to see me," s.tid the rider, sarcastically, as neither the man nor the girl stirred ; "it is worth riding far for such welcome." "We are tired," answered Armcda, inditlerently. "Yes, Domingo, we do something be sides play, we," grunted Torreon. The horsemen Hung himself tlowu b. sides the girl. "Tell me," he said. "We have lost the new goats." "The ones you had from the Kng- lishman?" Torrcon chuckled a silent assent, re membering how they had gotten them. "Ditl he come for them?" asked Do mingo. 'Uah, no ! He has not that courage. They have strayed away, upthear- rovo." 'Tiiey will come hack." 'Yes, w hen the wolves have eaten them." They were silent for a little. Then the man said, tentatively : "You followed themV" "Yes until I could go no farther." D.imingo rose and sto;d looking across the plain. "The arroyo is a cursed place," he lid. Then he put his hand upon his horse. "Juan is sure of foot. Yes I could bring them back. Il'it I must be in Manalillo to-uighL" His manner was irresolute, and he kept his face from the girl as he sj-okc. Armcda turned Iter eyes upon h'm with languid interest. "Don't let your pxir goats interfere with j our pleasures," she said, "doubt less some one will miss you if you are not there." "The devil, no ! You know it is not that, Armedo. 15 Jt there will be some go-.Ml play to-night." "Oh ! very welL I shall go for the goats again, when I have rested." "What? To the arroyo? To-night? That is nonsense Slh? here I will go if you will promise me " "I will not promise. If you cannot do this for me " "I but jested," he said quickly. ,-I shall go and find your goats." He turned and rode away. And Armcda stood and watched until he was well out of sight and hearing. Then she went into the bit ofchappa- ral and returned driving liefore her a dozen fine Angora goats, whose long silken cnuU showed even in the moon light, the purity of their breeding. "If he rules till he finds them he will not le in Manalillo this night," she said, contentedly, to herself, as she fastened the tlock securely in the in-closure. erset ESTABLISHED 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, when Armcda, lying awake with some unformed fear upon her heart, heard again the sound of approaching hoofs. She aros-, drew a blanket hastily alx.ut her and went ouUide the hut In an instance Domingo was by her side and leaned from his saddle and whisiH-rcd : "Jet my pistolsuick ! The regulat ors are behind, and I have but one." Not pausing to question, site went in side, put on some clothing swiftly, came out and ran to the corral, where shesaddied and mounted her father' horse. Then she wheeled to the side of Domingo, handed him a pistol and placed two in her own licit. ' Domingo laid his hand on her arm. "Have you thought?" he ask-vL "Yes," was the linn reply. "If you go with me now you can not return." "I know." "Yes, yes'" she said, impatiently; 'let us lie gone." Just then the goats, aroused by the unusual stir at so early an hour liegan to move restlessly. This seemed to re mind Domingo of something, lie spoke hesitatingly. "Armcda, 1 did not go after the goats." "I know. It does not matter. They were not lost. You have been to Muualiilo. I tried to keep you away." "They were not lost ? Good ! We are quits, then." With this the outlaw lietit toward his companion and drew her toward him and kissed her on the lips. Then they settled themselves well in their saddles, laid the reins loosely tin the neck of their horse and rode toward the coming dawn. l-'ora long time they rode silently, neck and neck. When the read streaks of the approaching day began to show across the Imre, brown plain the girl looked aiiout her and shuddered. Do mingo saw and fpoke : "It is the only chance. They dare not follow here." .; ."It's the Malpais; the Evil Pl.ttv," she said. Then they rode forward steadily and calmly into the place of horror. "He is a long way oil"" said the leader of the regulars, halting and watching the moving specks ahead of him; one cannot tell here how far. Distance cheats the eye it lies to i:i'.." Heshadeil his eyes with his hand. and looked a long time toward tlieeas; and again the west, from which they had come. "We will go," he said, after a little; "I am ashumcd to give up, but it is ju.-t as well he is safe I make no doubt of that." - He nodded meaning in the direction of the riders. "Just as saf '," lie added, "as though he had a Toa around his neck. "Hut the girl ?" asked one of the band. Tiie leader only shri:gt d his bould ers in answer and set his face to the west. When the fugitives, locked back and could see their pursuers no longer, they rested a little. Domingo unsluug the leathern watcr-b:ittie from his should er, which had not Iwen t iuc!i.'.l tmfil now, and gave Armcda a drink. Then he made a motion as if swal lowing some himself, and mured a little of the water into the p:ilm of his hand and moistened the mouths of the horss-s with it. The midday sun rose high overhead, :iud as they rode on through the long aftertiooti, on through the schorehing des -rt, on through tlte terrible Malpais, it lieat down upon them mercilessly. The wind that came acro.-s the dnnt- ry wast was blown straight its from a fury furnace. The air shimmered with j llJsit, and the bright metallic glitter j upon the polished lava burned iiion I their eyeballs and made them reel, sick I with a dizzy faintness. Once Armeda swerved from her sad dle and would have fallen, but was stayed by her companion's hand. He g ive her more water to drink. And when the m.ion wins up again th -y yet rode riding for lite. They role now from something more terri ble than the regulars, l'.ut they r ide slowly, uncertainly, a:il the mile stretched longer and longer ; the water was all gone now, a:il their m luths became dry and parched and cracked so that they could not talk. Hut the outlaw touch the girl gently niiw and then, and she answered 5iim wit'.i a liok of supreme content. She was willing to accept that which the saints should will. Filially her horse stumbled and fell, and could not rise again. Domingo cau 'lit her in his arms. "Ieave me, and ride," she whisper ed. I.'u. he only raised htr to his own, saddle, and thug ioJ Juan hire them lioth forward. At last he, too, fell. Then Domingo laid t'le girl tut the ground, and, kneel ing liesides his horse, called him by every endearing nam", conjured him by all the dear saints to rise and carry them out of the black horror out from that cursed place that had kvn named fur the father of all evil the Evil place. Ihit the Malpais clutched their lives the more. He rose and lifted the girl in his arms and made forward as liest he could. Weakly, blindly, staggering and sometimes falling, but always for ward, with a strength bjru of despair. "Leave me," the girl whispered again, "and save yourself." Hut Domingo knew the awful jour ney was al mast done. Hefore him, in the white moonlight, a mountain teak loomed dimly. How far it was he could not tell, but somewhere between him and it was water. If he could only keep on a little long er they would be saved. Hut even in the moonlight there doc distance cheat the eye doe it still lie to one.

'.!. i (i'o'rj. Entaile Jewels- From the Boston England is the only country in the world where the inutility are in the habit of entailing their jewels. Some of the great houses of the aristocracy, such as that of Cavendish, whose head is the Duke of Deveiishire ; tbvt of Ileiilinck, whose head is fiic Duke of Portland, and that of Lenox, whose chief is the Duke of Ilichmoiid, possess superb collections of gems, almost priceless in value, and which have U'-cii in the families for hundreds of years. They cannot lie sold or delivered from the head of the house, and even if they are pledged for loam the person with whom they are pledged is forced bylaw to return them to the c-t ttc, even without payment of his loan, on the death of the peer or po-Te.-s who tillered them as security for money ad vanced. Moreover, like the entailed landed property, the heirlo i;n jewels do not remain with the widow, but pass immediately to the succ- r to the title. When young Lord Dudley married erstwhile shopgirl, Curney, a few years ago, his still beaut it'id an. 1 youug-l'Nikiiig mother, the widowed countess, had to surrender to her daughter-in-law most of the magnifi cent and world-fam.-d jewels with which she had delighted to adorn her j comely person during the twenty-live years f her married lif -. Ofe iurs - jewelry thus entailed cannot be seized for debt, and thus it is that these col lections of cm have remained intact and fvcr-increasiiig throughout the course of years. i ne inaiigiir.it ion oi me n w ias'n-n of divorce has led to a good many com plications of a legal diameter i:i con nection with this tract ice of entailing family jewels. Formerly divorce w.-ts so costly and i!it!icult to obtain thai the question did not ari.-e. Hut now that ditiorei-s are so customary aioo-g the uobiiity there are constant c-nii'.icts arising in connection it:i the family jewel., the wife as a ru!e putting f.rth every eilort to retain them. It was only the other day than an action of this kind took place; in Lon don, the wife, wini had the divorce pronounced in In r favor and who had been assigned the guardianship of the children, insisting that, inasmuch as she retain her name, her title and her children, she likewise the right tore tain possession of the family jewel until her son should marry. This, how ever, the judge rcf::s,., to admit, and declar.sl that the jewels mu-a lie re turned to the husband the divorce ter minating not only her marriage obliga tions but also her rights to sh.tre in the property of her husband's f.ioily. Ctau-Jai SntujIinj. One of tiie simplest devices for smug gling diamonds is that of the hollow heeled In aits and shoes constructed so as to leave a small vacant space in the heels are easily obtained in Eunqie, and they are especially manufactured for the pUi'jKise tif supplying smug gler with a means for escaping detec tion. The porous plaster ha ot'ten served as a menus of secreting diamonds. When it is iindersbxtd that bi,'Ki worth of diamond or more i-.ui easily lie enclosed in a pujicr parcel about as wide as this column, one and one- half inches high, and a'.ioui a quarter of an inch thick, it is easy to compre hend that such a package can lie kept securely in place by menus of an hr.i.i cent but highly serviivable xirous plaster. One of the most ingenious methods ever employed was the use of a cake of soap, wherein a number tif diamonds had been imltedded. It is highly probable that this plau would have proved successful had it not U-en that the officers of tlte government had re ceived information that tiie susjiecte.l H-rs in had diamonds with him, and searched his e'dects so thoroughly that they examined even the gem-stu led block of soap. The wife of this smuggler hclvd her sjkousc, and her plan was not less ingenious than that of her busUmd. Her hat was ornamented with bunches tif grapes, which under ordinary circumstances would only have awak ened the envv of other wearers of bon nets. Within the grajK-s were diamonds and fancy stones of great value. Another smuggler was fpeciul!y provided by Frovidetnv with a smug gling device in the shnjte of a heavy covering of thick, bushy hair, which he arranged so that itsbsod up from his forehead like an impenetrable- bush. Within this mas of heavy Lair he deposited a god!y stock tif diamonds, and succeeded for a time in escaping the vigilance of the custom house ofih-ini. A these schemes have la-come known to the custom house authorities the ingenuity of the smu;i.lcrs has liectl more severely taxed. A recent dis covery disclosed the following c'.alHtrate plan which succeeded a great many time before it was discovered : Two smugglers ovcratcd in partner ship. The first crossed the ocean, and liefore leaving the wharf reserved r re turn Urth for a certain date. The date and the numln-rof the lnrth were at once cabled to his liccoinplice in Amer ica.

As illustrating the great value placed on a little whisky by some folks in rural Maine, where "prohibition prohibits," this story is told: "A big red faxd fellow, who was suffering from a long spell of enforced abstinence as well as from an injured toe, was brought into the otlice of a we'd known physician of centra! Maine to have the toe amputated. The siillerer objected to the tis.' of ether or chloroform, but when the doctor turned out a tumbler of whisky for him todriuk he no longer opened the pr.tcccdiiigs, and the toe was cut oil' without trouble, lleviving after the op.-ratioii, lee I'toked at the foot meditatively for a moment, and then cocked his eye shrewdly at the ilieior.

The story runs that Adam took with him fr.ii Eden as a statt'a branch of the tree of knowledge in fact, the very branch tha bore the fatal apple. During ills wandering he reached Jerusalem. He thrust the staff in tlie ground, and ii grew u:i ! becam; a tree from which the cr-iss was fashioned. Thus the same wo od bore that which brought sin into the world and him who over came it and redeemed the world from its sway. Som say the wd of t lie cross was fnnu the aspen tree and since then its leaves forever tremble with remorse and fear. The mistletoe, according to another legend, was once a sturdy tree, but having furnished the mater ial for the cross it w:is accursed and Ix-camc a weak para-ite. To many a shrub and plant has U-en attributed the dread distinction of fur nishing the crown of thorns. In Italy it V- the bar! ry, in ttermany the holly, and elsewhere it is given to the bram ble, the buckthorn, tlie hawthorn, the brier rose, the aci:i:h;n, the will hys sop and the acacia. The scourge that was laid upon oar Savior's back, tra dition se.ys, was made from the weep ing willow; for which reason that tree ha-, ever since maintained a dr.oping and remorseful altitude. And the reed which was pluvd iu his hand, acinrdiug to the same authority, was a stalk of the common cattail with it mace-like la-ad. The p.ission flower, when found by Spaniards in Mexico, was hailed with adoration, since it displayed within it self all the instrument of the passion the crown, the scourge, the stc:ir and the nail-s. There are other tl iwers which fable says were growing at the foot of the cms and were stained with the Lord's bl aid. T-te k-rmans tell us that the cross bill strove hard to draw out the nail tli it pierced tlie sutr rer' harids. It c o lid not, but it twisted its Iteak in the etrirt and dyed it .'.'.image in bla-d. The English robin is the hero of a sim ilar tra I. tio i :.i 1 dyed it breat in the bloody thorns. A De.ni! legend ha it th at puring the Savior's agony t'.ir -e birds came flying thither and alighted up.ni the cross. "S;yrk ham ! Styik ham!" cried one. "Strengthen him ! Strength en him r An I ever since men have called the stork a bird of strength and blessing. Tiiescc.m.l cried : "Sval ham ! Seal ham !' or "ii -fresh him ! Uefresli him !" And the swallow, too is a bird of bl.-ssing. Hut tlie third cried : "liien ham ! Tnen ham .'" or "Punish him ! Torture him !" And thus the lap wing i a bird accursed foreverm ire. The sain legend prevail among the Swedes only they add a fourth bird the turtledove which cried : "Kyrie ! Kyrie!" or "Lord ! Lord!" which U vet it mournful cry.
