- 111 Quita's Kidnaping By Izola L. Forrester tj ! j! Copyright* 1903, by T C. McClun I l : 'I Muriquita Josepha Maria was her name, according to the baptismal rec ords in the little white mission church at San Junipero. Over at Happy Chance we called her Quita. Some way she seemed to belong more to llappy Chance than she did to San Junipero, with Its <ol't toned bells itul the solitude of cloistered gardens She was tall and slim and sunburned, with lips like the heart of a rose and dark shadowy eyes that looked sidelong at one ami made the earth seem an excel lent place to live in. ltefore Happy Chance had oj ! uo as a silver mining center the .hack < i old Tom Terrier had held it- own u; on the mountain side and d« nat. 1 the whole valley. No one kne\ hen It had been built. Ferrier had it 1 from camp to camp down through < . orado and crosswise through the Sic'' ras until Mexico was the limit, and he found llappy Chance. It was a bit of the wildernc s tiiat had escaped for tune seekers ami rail.oad surveyors, and he held it for h; - own and be lieved that some day he would bo a sil ver king. In t rues! < i that belief he had built the shack ai 1 married Dolores Ituiz, daughter of the old Mexican who claimed the valley by j rior right. The result was a -uocos-. in a way. There were no sign of silver, but there was Quita .lie strike did come, fifteen ye., . t < r. both Fern rand the Mex ican lay in the deep ; loop up among the pines on the hills, and from the lone shack Quita and 1 er mother look ed down on the valley and saw the cho sen of the Lord of Mammon sweep away their Canaan and its wealth. But they were wise, being women, and showed no tight, and Llappy Chance as a law abiding community reviewed their case and admitted them to a share in the profits of their own property and shook hands with itself over its generosity. The summer after the strike Larry Carroll alighted in camp, and we en tertained him unawares, not seeing any w,ngs. We had heard of Larry before, lb* was a gentlemanly boy with a good reeord behind him of ways of honor. He was a miner, but he nev er mined, lie would follow the cry of fame to a new camp and laze around for a few weeks until he found a claim that suited him. He paid in cash, and the camp would see him no more until one day he would come hack with some poor innocent of a capitalist lie had corralled, and the claim would change hands, and Larry would ride on in tri Urnpli, ten thousand to the good. It showed a depth of intuitive wis dom that the world respected, and Hap py Chance w< homed him; also he had a winning way with women. He was gay hearted and debonair and master ful, with eyes of Irish blue and hair like a water spaniel, chestnut curled. He never wooed with words: only with his eyes. They were sufficient. You can not make out a case jjgainst a man on the score of tender eyi*-; So Larry rode scot free over a highway of sighing hearts until he struck Happy Chance and Quita. There was a dance at Dorrity's the night he came, and he rambled in. Qui ta was dancing, and as he stood in the doorway, watching, she whirled by him on big Sim Ilawdon's arm. and the cluster of scarlet mountain flowers she wore In her hair fell at Larry's feet. Sim went back for them. They wore in the breast pocket of Larry's shirt, and the two went outdoors to settle the ar gument for possession, while Quita perched herself on a window sill and smiled contentedly. It was the beginning of a state of affairs which Happy Chance resented. Rawdon owned the biggest claim in camp and if we ever grow to be a city we intended making him mayor or chief of police or something interest ing. In the dream of the future Quita had shared his honors in our mind She belonged to Happy Chance. It was right that she should have t! best article in its "marriage mark"), and neither Sim nor Quita had object ed up to date. liut with the coining of Larry there was a change. We car ried Sim home from the dance with a bullet in his shoulder, and Larry went back and finished the waltz with Quita. The next day Sim went to the shack ■with a bandaged shoulder and spok" UJJ like a man. knowing that public sentiment was with him. When he came back he invited us all to the wed ding, and Larry tipped 1 iis chair far ther back on the shady toop of th< Silver Star and whistled softly The wedding was set for the follow ing Saturday, and Sim rode every day to the shack and came hack with a smile on his lips and a spray of scarlet flowers from the vine that grew on Quita's hilb ''e Jlut Suturd y at sunset, when he rode after his bride, he came back without mi 1<• or il<>\% ers and told his story to the crowd that waited in the Silver Star. Quita was gone. Old Ilolores aid sin- had been carried ofl by t! e devil with the Irish eyes to the mountains, and Sim asked for company. We were willing to go.

"I don't believe there'll be any -hak 3ng hands," said Sim grimly, and we gloried in the coming ti^ht. Just before i ri •• we came upon them half way up "hi i litain. we roilime 1 a corn i < t the tr >ii a gray sombrero si • i lo\•• t' tn- >■ I growtli of Vil ■ - : I ' a;'.'' t : it a • b I ' " " t aud to i *-■< had ' chain e ■■> ! - force V i! ,e I « <-d his ilit• li rock.

' It was a cry for help, we believed, and we sent back a shout that echoed in long leaps up the deep ravines and gulches. For an instant the tiring from the rock ceased, then began again, faster than ever, but not so sure. All at once the voice of Sim shouted from above. "For Cod's sake, boys, quit firing!" It was hard to obey with victory so near and the bullets flying wild around our heads from the hidden hand be hind the rock. But we stopped, they did also, and we scrambled from lodge to ledge up over the ragged, splintered stones until the top was gained, and we looked down on Larry and his cap five. It was a st! ■ i-jht. Back against the r.u h. ; i'a;, rocks stood Quita, her .a-, a/anie with reckless courage and t', , -nice. Larry's two revolvers were gi.iipcj. till smoking in her hands. At I cr feet lay Larry, his white face upturned to the dawning light and a dull, crimson slain soaking the right side of his gi flannel shirt. Tit .-hoot tie first one that dares t«. t.-tuh lii '■ lied Quita. "You're pekof ci irds to follow and hold U : o like t: What's he done?" '! 'e sto! li \ ; Sim ■ ns-.vered her. (.»" i i<it l it:) like a flash. "He didn't steal me, Sim. Iran away with him because I loved him, and it seemed better togo at the last moment than to marry you and love him all the same. I thought a girl could choose the man she loved and I not have a whole camp chase her and shoot him down. You don't play fair, boys." There was a dead silence. Her eyes were full of tears, and Happy Chance j hid its head In shame. It is not pleas ant to have a gallant rescue knocked in the head by the scorn of a woman's will. But Sim stood without shame or an ger and stared at the white, young face itt Quita's feet, and at last with out a word he went down and lifted Larry in his arms and made his way with him to the trail, and Quita fol lowed slowly. At I'rospera we left the three, and Sim never gave up his guard until the wound was healed, and Quita rode in to camp beside her husband as Mrs. Larry Carroll. There were no hard feelings. As Larry said, no laws had been broken but the law of the heart, and each heart has a law of its own. I lilt when it was all over Sim sold out his mine to him and went back over the mountains to the States. We understood and did not blame him. It is easier to save the life of the man you hate than to stand by and see the girl you love as his wife. \ot f'nlherlne of Aragun. Mr. Dan O'llarrigan was not the most modest man that ever came from Ireland, and his most constant boast concerned his ancestry. He was at an evening party a short time since, and at the first opportunity he held forth upon the old theme to a fascinating young lady guest. "Yes," he said; "sure. I may be a poor nobody in these days, but centhurics ago in me own counthry me ances thors were kings." "Indeed." smiled his fair auditor, "but yet, do you know, although I have studied history fairly well. 1 do not recall any royal personage called : O'llarrigan." She thought she had cornered him, but she had miscalcu lated his gift of repartee. "Sure, it must IK- joking ye are," he I said.

"But didn't you sometimes miss the apple and shoot the boy?" "Not often. But it happened once in awhile, of course." "What did you <1 > then?" they asked breathlessly. "Do?" said Grandfather Dutton, shrugging his shoulders. "Why, some times I had to wait two or three min utes before I could find another boy. but not often. There are always plen- j ty of boys." FiSH FOOD NOT THE BEST. Many FullaefeN About a Diet on Sea l'roductN Art* tZxtunt. It is doubtful whether any given food in common use contains constitu ents which have a selective action, so to speak, on the property of minister- i ing to one part of the body more than another. As a rule, when a food is as- I suiiied to have specific reparative prop erties- as, for example, a so called | brain or nerve food the fact really is | that such food is easily and quickly j assimilated to the body's general ail- ' vantage; in a word, in such a case re- j pair quickly overtakes waste and a ; real purposeful nutrition and restora tion are accomplished. The adminis tration of such elements as phosphorus or iron in medicine is, of course, a dif ferent matter, but these elements are evenly distributed in the materials of a daily diet. It is often stated that fish is a food which ministers particularly to the needs of the brain, because it contains phosphorus. As a matter of fact, lish does not contain more phosphorus than do the ordinary meat foods, and it cer tainly does not contain it in a free state. The notion that lish contains plio phoiais had no doubt its origin in the glow ing phosphorescence of lish in the dark. This phosphorescence is duo not to phosphorus at all, but to micro ortraiiism - ihe hclicl, therefore, that fir.li is a brain food is just about as re; enable as the idea that because a -oup . thick and gelatinous "it will tick I > the ribs" or as sensible as the celebrated nd\ ice to Verdant Green to lay in a stoc|< of Heading biscuits to 1 assist his reading.

JifcClur* At the tender ago of eleven years stir used to station herself behind the stone fence that <li\ i<l«><l their grounds froin tin! road to see the boy pas-, by. Keg ularty at N o'clock live days in the week t-lie was at her post, peeping over the fence very cautiously lest the boy him self should discover her. There was something about this par tlcular bov that she liked. Ilis eyes were as blue as those of (iladys Ara bella, her favorite blond doll. That in itself was enough to draw her stormy gaze like a magnet But there were other things beside. There was the easy way that he sat on liis pony, there was the way he pulled his cloth cap rakisldy to one side, there was well, there was a daring, dashing, fascinat ing something about him even at four teen that proclaimed him one of the > conquerors. For weeks she had paid him the si lent homage of that trip to the fence each morning. Then one day. waxing careless from long security, her black j head and big dark eyes appeared just j above it. He slackened his pony and ' stared at her with open curiosity. "Hello, there! What you staring at, sissy?" he called out with boyish rough i ness. The head disappeared. He waited a moment, but as she fail ! Ed to reappear he dashed off down the road laughing. After that it was his delight to catch \ her watching him. He would turn at the most unexpected moments to see if he could surprise her. But when, once in awhile, he succeeded in getting a glimpse of the gypsylike head and the fiery dark eyes his brusque "Ili there, sissy! See anything green?" al ways had the same effect. She dropped out of sight. «♦•»»** It was a private school for boys kept by an old friend of the family. So her parents sought a place for her there when it was necessary for them to sail without their small daughter. I-'or her the excitement of being placed in the school where the boy went each day was delicious. They had known each other for a year—that is, she had watched liini and he had known that she was there. "My eye! It's the girl who's always peeking over the fence," he remarked I to his chum at his tirst glimpse of the ! new pupil. "Isn't she a regular In dian, though!" and lie gazed curiously at the straight, shining black hair and the black eyes. He did not mention to Ids chum that he liked shiny black hair and eyes like big, dark stars. After awhile he looked toward her and smiled, a foolish friendly smile. Instead of meeting this overture with tiie ladylike graciousness that her . training had taught, she made up a face at him. Cuess he wouldn't think now that she liked him—that horrid boy! For some time after this lie ignored her, but at last he impulsively pr<>f fered her a stick of lioarhound when they met in the- corridor <'ne day. ! With a stamp of her foot she threw it to the ground. "If your mother | makes you e it lioarhound, eat it your i self. I'm not going to eat it!" -die flashed out with spirit. Then, In a tumult of happlin ss. she lied, leaving the astonished boy gazing after her with an open mouth. "Spitfire!" was Ids greeting when next they met. Thus the ice was broken. Morning after morning now he came to school with some offering for the girl Often It was a bunch of roses begged from the gardener. "The prettiest ones you i have,"he would command important ly, never guessing that their fresh beauty was instantly quenched in the darkness of the girl's small trunk. Each time that she lifted the lid to put in a fresh bunch the exquisite scent of the withered ones floated out Into the room. Years afterward the drift ing scent of roses would bring before her the laughing face of the boy. Once, indeed, it did more. It was a moonlit night in California. Propped up by pillows of mystical. .Japanese 1 design, she lounged in the oriental ; chair that was her special delight. Her companion leaned toward her ; and began to speak in a low, eager voice. His words of love seemed nat j ural—a part <>f the breathless euehaiit i ment of the time and place. Why not ! decide her fate now and have it done? Borne on the light breeze that rutiled the leaves of the toyon tree at her ! side, a breath from the rose garden i brushed across her face. A subtle change came over her. "No, n<>, Hugh. Please stop, dear, please!" she pleaded. "I'm so sorry, but I can't say yes to you. I can't!" She could not tell why. but it was I the scent of the roses that had decided her. The old boy and girl affair had died j the usual death of such attachments, i He had gone to college and she to a | finishing school. They had sworn liev ■ er to forget and to write twice a week. And for six months 'hey kept their vow. Later a certain society belle whose "dark beauty" was much exploited by the newspapers, occasionally found herself wondering, in off moments, what had become of the boy. And lie!

A handsome young man who had been t:ik 11- a turn up and down the opposite platform, waiting apparently for a train to the north, glanced across at the people who. like himself, paced back and forth impath ntly. As his eyes fell upon the tali, graceful girl with a face like a brilliant flower, he paused in astonishment.

"And 1 didn't get her London address!" he exclaimed aloud, as his stupidity dawned upon him. "Well, 1 II be hanged!" ******* Two years later the servants at Fair jinv received notice from their young mistress of her intention of opening the house for u few weeks. The old place had been closed since her early childhood. Slie had traveled far and wide; been cnurted and admired. But after awhile one got tired so tired. In the very midst of the season, when gayety was ,t it - height, thoughts of tin; dear ol;l days haunted her mind. They were p>ne forever, those wonderful childish days, but at least she would go back and have a bit of "make believe" all to herself. Tears rose in her eyes as she was driven up to her own door. How well she remembered the quaint support ing pillars and the broad veranda! The sun was just dropping out of sight, but its faint golden glow lingered lovingly on the place. In the darkness of her old room that night she thought with wet ey- s of the little girl of other days. At s o'clock the next morning she stole down to the stone fence once more, smiling foolishly to herself as she did so. There was no need to hide; the boy would not go by. And so she leaned upon the wall, thinking pensive ly of the past. A weird buzzing aroused her, and she looked ill) to see a big. red touring car spinning down the road toward her. I-'or a moment she watched it in differently. Then as it drew nearer and the outlines of its occupant be came clear her heart Jumped with de light. • It's he; it really is!" she exclaimed excitedly. At the same moment the automobile slackened speed, and the man inside lifted his hat with a flourish and sang out Joyously: "Hello, little girl! What you staring at?" As of yore she drop ped suddenly down out of sight. "Hut isn't it strange that you should happen along this very tirst morning that I'm home?" she queried when, their nonsense over, they stood talk ing across the wall. "Well, not so odd as it would have been if I had not known you were coining." he admitted laughingly. Then a queer look came into his eyes. "Why haven't you married?" he de manded abruptly. She opened her lips to reply, but something in Ills face ar rested tier. She flushed furiously. He laid his hand on hers. "Haven't we been n pair of idiots?" he asked, with a happy laugh. lion \i»rv«> Miii-i'ny I* tVniilfd, So many people needlessly and reck lessly waste their nerve energy. They drum the chair or the desk with their lingers or tap the floor with their toes; they hold their hands; they sit inn rocking chair and rock for very dear life. If they go upstairs they make the whole body do the work that was intended only for the legs; if they write or sew they get down to it with a vengeance and contract their brows and wrinkle their foreheads and grind their teeth. If they have an unusual task to do they screw and contract and contort every muscle of the body, making themselves tense and rigid nil over, when the work perhaps requires but one set of muscles or perhaps the mind only, as the case may me.

Ilund I.a bur and Slow Method* When tli«• induNtr) WHM The first really efficient lucifer match must be put to the credit of Mr. John Walker of Stockton-on-Tees, who in the year ISIiT placed them on the mar ket under the name of "Congreves," In compliment to Sir William Congreve, the inventor of the war rocket. These matches were sold for a shilling a box, which contained, besides a few dozen of the matches, a little piece of folded sandpaper, through which each splint of wood had to be drawn before it could be made to in tin me. An original tin box, stamped with the royal arms and bearing the word "Congreve," is preserved as a curiosity in one of the Loudon museums. As in the ease of all other industries, this one was initiated by hand labor alone. The splints of wood were no doubt originally dipped in ?ho igniting composition one by one, but subse quently they were tied up in bundles and dipped en bloc, the workman giv ing each bundle a twist with his hands SO that the end of each splint would be free to move to a certain extent and absorb a little more of the com pound than it would if kept quite still. The next advance was to li\ the splints in a frame so that each was separated f r • i i its neighbor, and this frame, con t: ining at out I.."><Ml matches, would be broil- lit down on a marble slab upon which the composition was spread. The tipped matches, still in their frame, would then be dried in air for a f' v.* hours and afterward placed in a In ted chamber to complete their desiccation Manual labor is now ni ne t uhollj dispensed with In the man' faeture of matches.
