1 Flower of the Crazed.
By John Adams.
LAURENCE KIRDY was younf.
good-looking in a fair sort of way, j
K (rreat favorite with women and one
of the best constructing engineers
that the "l'acifico" ever had in their .
employ. At home in New York he was I
a club member, one of the bright and
shiniug lights in the Engineers' union,
nDd, lastly, engaged to marry Miss
Kent, daughter and heiress of old
"DulT" Kent. Kirby had her picture,
and once, in a fit of unwonted friend
lines showed it to me. She was not
so very pretty too thin and fragile
for that. Hut it was a sweet, nure
spirited face, and I thought then that
Kirby was a lucky man.
At that time we were traveling
along at a pretty rapid rate in the
Acapulco direction and surveying out
mure miles per day than you would
believe, were 1 to tell you. Under the
circumstances, all the tents and equip
ment, including 'lie commissary de
partment, of which old Tomas was
chief, with his wife Junna as cook,
were moved along with us each day.
This (piick work only lasted, of course,
so long as we were in pood survey
ing country; soon we got to the Si
erras, or Guerrero, mountains, nr.d
then we had to call a slow-down and
take tilings more quietly.
Old Juan a, In spite of her ape and
flesh (she weighed close on to 230),
had held out pretty well, considering
the amount of cooking she did and
the way in which she had been hus
tled across the state of Guerrero. No
s4Hiner had we reached the "Ruena Fe''
canyon, however, than she gave out
completely and said that she must
have an assistant cook. Kirby turned
the matter over to me. I asked Junna
if we should bring her down a ran"
cook from tho City at Mexico. "No.
lenor;" she would have no rude, awk
ward man pottering ubout her tent
and braseros. If the senor would give
leave, Consuelo would willingly come.
(,'onsiiclo wast her niece, nnd n very
goixl and simpaticn girl, too. She wiis
now in ChJlpanclngO with her mother,
but would surely come to her old Tin
at the word. How much would the
tenor pay tor the services that Con
suelo would lend? Fifteen pesos?
Qood; then the girl should be notified
at once.
About a week later Consuelo ar
rived. She wns not much on the cook
though her frijoles rcfritoa were
good and I do not think she ever did
more than wash the dishes and keep
the brosero going. But she was, out
and out, the handsomest savage I have
ever seen, with her six feet of strong,
beautiful body, and the eye and face
oi a . "edy queen. Lot of such
women, are to be seen throughout
Cuerrero, but I do not remember a
grander woman in all my trips than
(xjnsuelo. Not that I nm much in fa
vor of big, handsome, black-eyed wom
en; they generally have the devil in
them somewhere, and sooner or later
it breaks out. Hut, even so, you could
not help admiring Consuelo.
Our total force comprised alwut 30
men, over half of whom were Mexi
cans and pcones. Ilcing pretty well
up on the genus Mexieano, I had long
ago Informed old Juana that we would
have no llirtat5oiis in camp; if Con
suelo wished to remain nnd gain her
$15 per month she must have nothing
to say to the men. It was against dis
cipline, and Senor Kirby would not
have it. Juana smiled quietly and
went on with her work. "The senor
need have no care; he does not know
Consuelo. It would be a brave man
who attempts to molest her in her
work." So I went away, convinced, in
spite of my knowledge of the Mexican
character.
At this time we. had emerged from
the canyon nnd were surveying across
a swampy, malaria-breeding bit of
country. We had our breakfast and
turned out every morning at sun-up,
and I can tell you that it wns bittei
cold work, at that. In spite of our
heavy clothes we nil shivered steadily
until the sun got up well beyond the
mountains, after which we would bake
until sun-down. (There is no great
fun in railroading over tropical coun
tries, I assure you!) And then soon
the rainy season burst on us. which
aiWed to the discomfort of things.
Many a day we worked in slimy, un
healthy water, up to our knees some
times up to our waists. This, quite nat
urally, was not conducive to good
health, and the men began to sicker
particularly the Mexicans, who have
no stamina, anyway. We "white men"
got olong nil ripht, even though we
had slight touches of chills nnd fever,
and we worked along steadily, doing
double work to each man, and cover
ing ground nicely, in sjiite of all the
drawbacks.
Soon we drew out of the worst coun
try; the Mexicans got well enough to
work again, and Kirby bust led us along
nt a good rate, in spite of the faet tbnt
he was even then shaking and burning,
by turns with the Guerrero fever. I
argued with him, but to no avail, try
ing to indue him to slow down a bit
nnd get himself well before going on
ut the old speed. I could do nothing
with him; it seemed that upon the
expiration of his contract, which did
not cover many more hundred miles,
he was to go back to New York and
marry Dorothy (that was Miss Kent's
name). Even so. I could not under
stand his sudden feverish desire to rush
over his work and get back to her. I
suppose now that he had begun to re
'tee the sc-iousness of his " Me flirtn
n wCt' twn t ' ad
flirtation with a half-savage Indian girl
is not exactly the fun that some people
might imagine it so far as results are
concerned. It is all right to say "1 love
you" to a girl of your own race and
education; she will possibly laugh at
you, or tell you the same thing, and
you both know that it's only In fan. But
a woman of Consuelo's type would
never so understand it; savages have
strange! ideas about these things, and
tbey have very matier-of-fact opinions
as to veracity.
It was not very long before what I
had predicted enme to pass, and Mr.
Kirby was raving and groaning, flat on
his back, with the worst case that I
have ever seen of C.uerroro fever; a ; Kirby was still in the tame mysterious
good denl of malaria being mixed in condition, suve that now he would til

pose. Not that there wns any pnrticu-1 (uken i,y (its of awful melancholy, ano
lar danger, for people rarely ever die ofientiuies crying in a piiful. wailing
from attacks of Cuerrero fever and fashion that nearly drove me wild,

If you are delirious nnd insist upon

the tent, it is well to have a strong per
son to hold you down, anil clamp the
blankets over you. This it where, in
Kirby's case, Consuelo proved to be of
use nnd help.
In point of fact, no one else could be
pared to look n.ter the sick man.
There was Juani but Junnn had the
food of 'itl men to look nfter; very nat
lrnlly she could not be spared to do
nursing. Kirby would not let n Mexi

cans had to keep on with the surveying
and track-pinning, else the contrnct
would run out, with our work tin I f fin

simply had to turn Kirby over to Con-

cessity of wrapping up well, or else
making up savory hot drinks, such ns
the Indians use "for the taking away
of the chill."
And so it went. I wns sorry both for
the girl nnd for Kirby, nnd let him
see it. For which I naturally received
no thnnks. Meantime, she wnt at hap
py ns a woman ever gett to be in this
world, and he obediently took the qui
nine and hot drinks, and wrote fewer
and fewer lettert to Miss Kent. Which
eertninly was rather hard on the lat
ter lady.
Well, we were working along britkly
at only a few days' distance from Pu
eblo de Maria, our stopping point, when
late one evening I received a mestage
that Kirby wnnted to see me. I was
hoving my tupper and Rent the mozo
back to him, saying that ns toon nt I
had finished I would be with him.
Somehow, 1 spotted nt once that Con
suelo wns nt the bottom of his mes
sage, and I thought things over ns I
drank my coffee. I had' noticed lately
that his careless nnd off-hand treat
ment of the girl had grown even more
careless during the Inst few days; she,
on her part, had never seemed to wish
for more than the privilege to fetch nnd
carry for him. A servile, savage sort
of love, to be sure, but that is the way
Indian women nre.
Kirby was sitting at his writing-tnble,
a worried, nervous look on his fnce, and
Miss Kent's picture nnd.n just-opened
letter before him. As I sat down, I
glanced lightly nt the letter. It was
a very thin one, covering only two
pages, and the signature was risible;
I shamelessly read. It. "Your very sin
cere friend, Dorothy Kent." is not the
way in which a fiancee usually signs
letters, and I nt once understood. Miss
Kent had doubtless gathered from
Kirby's lettert that he was making
love to some other woman, and. being
a girl of spirit and pride, hud at once i
written to break off the engagement
Kirby, however, had little to soy. Fie
merely wished me to notify "Consuelo.
old J uana's niece," that her services
were no longer necessary. Her wages
would be paid two months in advance,
nnd she was to be furnished an escort
to her own home in Chilpnncingo. "And, !
by the way, Jnckson," be finished up,
"give her this $50 bill, and tell her that
1 send it. I really owe her more than
that, for her attention to me when I
was sick. I think that's all. Will you
please see that she goes to-morrow
morning early? We'd better get out
pretty early with the instruments, too.
for we ought to be in Pueblo de Mario
by the end of next ween. ,
Consuelo was not in the kitchen, nnd
my interview, therefore, was with old
Junna for which I was not sorry. Who
knows how the girl would have taken
the news? The aunt wns in a boiling
rage. She called down the wrath of
Cod and all the taints upon me; bow
had 1 the heart to so discharge and
send away a good girl, who hod always
behaved herself properly? The old
woman was hard to pacify, and finally

Kirby.
We taw nothing more of the girl, and
und old Juana was always ominously
quiet and busy. Meanwhile, work wai
booming along nicely, and we expected
lo get to our terminus within four days,
when our chief was suddenly taken,
one dav. with a tort nf sunstroke and
I was both tea-red and dnmfounded.
He bad been working busily all the
morning, when, all of a sudden, he burst
out into insane weeping. '1 hen followed
fits of wild laughter, then silly, maudlin
ravings, then more weeping. 1 put him
to bed and guve him an opiate. It had
no earthly effect; so, frightened and
puzzled out of my wits, 1 sat in the tent
all that evening and night, listening to
the raving und pitiful crying of what
was evidently a crazed man.
Well, if you will believe me, that same
thing was repeated every day for a
week. Fortunalely, 1 was able to finish
up the remaining few days' work, and
we entered i'ueblo de Maria on time,
thereby completing our contract-
moaned during the examination. 1
could see that the Mexican was fright
ened, hut he merely shrugged his
slinnlriers. nm!. hnvinn Docketed his fee.
and said a brief and heartfelt "Quien
sube," the Investigation ended. So far
as he could see, the senor ingeuiero
"was suffering from n bad attack of the
sun; with care and perfect quiet he
should be over the illness within a few
days."
A day or two later I left the poor fel
low in J uana's care, and rode over to the
pueblo to get some opiate; I wanted him
to have one night's rest, anyway, for
next day I intended to take him. as best
I might be able, back to civilization
and doctors.
The trail which I was following led
aJonff the slopes of the hillsand Sierras,
here, sneaking about in the mountain
glades? 1 began to suspect mischief;
she hod not teen me, 1 felt sure, and 1
would proceed to lind out what she wus
after.
I tied my horse, loaded my revolver
(for 1 was talcing no chances with a sav
age of CoDtuelo's sort), and crept noise
lessly on her track. Soon 1 caught a
glimpse of her, kneeling with her back
to me. Her occupation seemed Inno
cent, for she was merely plucking the
brilliant red blooms that grew densely
around on the mountain side, and talk
ing to herself us she did so. Wondering
what she could be saying, I stealthily
slipped closer and closer, hidden by the
shrubbery. Nearing her, 1 saw that her
face looked yean older, lined, wicked
and hideout the face of a crazed wom
an or a devil! Over and over again the
murmured, us she tossed the little red
flowers into her rebczo: "Flor de lot
loeotl Klorecitosde loslocot!" (Flow
I ers of the cruzed little flowers of the
crnzedl") Then 1 understood. She had
! been giving the deadly, crazing flower
j (made into some sort of tea, no doubt,
through old Junana's arts) la poor
Kirby. With the wish to lorlure him
! beyond belief, she was gradually craz
ing him; it would have been too merci
ful to kill him outright.
I drew my pistol nnd called to her.
With the spring of a wounded llger the
was at me, and. before sl;e caught sight
I of the pistol, had buried her sharp
I teeth In my arm. Then, seeing the re
volver, und before I had time to makeup
my mind to murder a woman, she was
off like a flash, the red "flowert of the
crazed" strewing the ground. I fol
! lowed on a dead run; mounted my horse
nnd gnlloped back tocamp. hopingto be
in time to circumvent her further evil

, herself somewhere on the mountains,
and. though a search party worked dil
igently to find her, we never saw her

not again leave Kirby's side until the
Mexican police from the Pueblo de
Maria had arretted and locked up old
Juana, after I had forced her to contest.
At I had thought, Consuelo had never
gone home, but had hidden herself in
some mountain cave, whence she had
come to our camp at night, bearing at
each visit a fresh supply of the "flowert
of the crazed." These our cook had
faithfully made into tea, which was
giveD daily to Kirby. "The first dose,"
the old wretch tinted, calmly, "had
been a little too strong," for which rea
son it had so seriously affected the
"poor senorl"
We carefully conveyed Kirby first to
the City of Mexico, where every imagln
ab!e scherae was tried to restore his
sanity. Nothing did any good, lie still
remained in the same melancholy, mo

and fighting furiously when we endeav

NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS.
The Place. We are not told just why
.lesus went from the place of the
temptation to Bethany, or lleth-abarah,
where John was baptizing, but it can
not have been far out of the way lie
would naturally take in going back lo
Galilee, and it would probably be there
rather than elsewhere that He would
fiiv! disciples. The place is now gen
erally believed to have been a ford
called Damleb, not far from the place
where the boundary between Samaria
and Galilee comes to the river. Tradi
tion has pointed out two places fur
ther down the river, in the vicinity
of Jericho, ns the probable locality, but
the tradition is so late and so variable
as to be of little value.
The Inquiry of the Deputation. It
was just about the time of Jesus' ar
rival that the deputation from the rul
ers at Jerusalem came to examine John.
This deputation was doubtless sent by
the Banhedrini which was tbe only
body having authority to send an of-,
fleial inquiry. It was the duty of that
body to Investigate and pronounce upon
any such claims as John seemed to be
making. a inattcrof fact they never
did make such a decision, a point of
weakl'.t'FJ "f which Jesus afterwards
took advantage (Luke 20: 1-8). It is
possible that the words "in Hie midst
of you" (John 1:2G) are to be token
literally, us many people must have
pressed among the visitors from Jeru
salem to hear what they were saying.
Note that John's answer to the ques
tion: "Why then bnptizest thou?" im
plies that his baptism symbolized the
work of the coming Messiah rnther i
than anything merely personal.
The Testimony of John. John s first
utterance of the words: "Behold, the
Lamb of God," was apparently some
what public, though we do not know
just what audience he addressed. It
is interesting to observe that John did
not know Jesus as the Messiah except
by special revelation.
The First Disciples. John's second
utterance of the phrase "the Lamb of
God" wns made before a small audience
who seem to have taken it ns a hint
that they should attach themselves to
Jesus. John tells us that one of these
men was Andrew and- the other was in
nil probability Himself. The words:
"He lindeth first His own brother" are
phrased in such a way ns to suggest
that the other disciple was also seek
ing His brother, and we suppose the
writer to have been the unnamed dis
ciple on account of such details as that
mentioned in John 1:39.
Personal Influence. Our Lord's .par
able of the leaven illustrates the power
of personal influence in making dis
ciples. The details of the leavening
process are instructive. The leaven,
introduced into the flour, divides in or
der to conquer. Each minute particle
of the leaven attacks that tiny molacule
of flour which it touches, separates it
into its chemical constituents, expeU
the carbonic acid and transforms the
rest into leaven like unto itself. The
new particle of leaven thus formed at
once assails the flour next to it and
repeats the process, until, molecule by
molecule, "the whole is leavened."
Here we see the disciple seeking hit
brother or nearest friend and bringing
him to Jesus to become a disciple and
in turn go forth to seek another. Along
these lines of kindred and friendship
the Gospel spread until in three cen
turies it had conquered the world.
The first law of increase in the king
dom of God is thus the law of contact:
every disciple must win the one nearest
to him.
A second law is also illusfated here
the law of integrity. The disciple
must be so securely and thoroughly
Christlike that he shall win his neigh
bor and not be drawn away by him.
The snow must cling to the ball, and
not be pulled from it by the snow upon
the ground; the leaven must turn tbe
flour into leaven, and not itself become
lifeless and inert. A shingle or piece
of bark thrush in the tnowball will
make a hole tbout it; it cannot attract
and hold the snow as it revolvet; a
piece of dirt in the forming crystal mart
its symmetry. A telfish and unlovely
disciple makes no additions to the
growing kingdom and mars the sym
metry of its development. Rev. E. M.
Noyes.
PRACTICAL.
Christ Is the Larabof God that taketh
away the sin of the world. Has He
taken your sin away?
To take your sin away, the Lamb of
God was sacrificed. "Ye were redeemed
....with precious blood."
