If you should see bronzed men or men 'with soldierly bearing frequent ing a certain office in a small street in San Francisco, and if you knew who the men were or what they represent ed, you could predict to a nicety the next Central American revolution, its leaders, and its outcome. That is be cause San Francisco is the place where everything commences, and mamy have their end in the way of troubles in the "sister republics." Three years ago the present govern ment of Guatemala missed overthrow by just a hair. As the maji who had been financing the insurrection said bitterly when the bottom fell out: "If It weren't for women there'd He no revolutions, and it it weren't for a woman every revolution would be suc cessful." He said this to the man who knows more about troubles political Where there's money and fighting than any other man In the world. This main codded his head with a smile not often Been on his spare face. The financier didn't like the look, and he growled ome more: "They might at least have let me hold the government up for my expenses before calling the whole business off. I could have got everything back and interest on my venture." The other man kept on smiling. "That's the way you fellows look at it. If you can't win sell out at a good price. But that don't win in the long run. One woman can spoil the scheme." Two years before this a young wom an landed from the Pacific Mail steam er City of Para, and registered at the Palace as from Mazatlan. She had a little maid who giggled and talked Mexican, some luggago with Vienna and Paris hotel labels over it, and the manner of a deposed queen. She signed, herself as "Srta Maria Rivas." In due time Senorita Rivas left the hotel for quiet lodging on Vallcjo street. But before sho disappeared from the court, a gentle-mannered old man with knotty hands, called and in troduced a companion. "This is the young man I spoke to your excellency about. I present Senor Thomas Vin cent." Then the gray-haired man lipped away, and Thomas Vincent was left looking down into the dark face of Maria Rivas. He did not know why be was there, nor who she was, nor even the name of the man who had in troduced him. But he was not sorry. She let him stand while she glanced him over. Vincent drew himself up at her somev'Aat insolent manner, and was rewarded by a smile. "Will you accept an invitation to upper tonight if I press you very hard?" she asked him in smooth Eng lish. Vincent turned his eyes about the court Then he looked down at her again, and nodded curtly. "Certainly, madam." He flushed, and went on, "But I failed to catch your name. I am awfully embarrassed." She got to her feet, and held out slender hand. "I am Miss Mary Rivas," she said, quietly. "My father waa formerly the president of Hon duras. I went to school at Bryn Mawr, and I met your sister there. That's why, when I found you were in San Francisco, I asked to have you brought and Introduced." Vincent loked at her very soberly, almost pityingly. Then he offered her bis arm, and they went into the supper room, where everybody turned to watch theiT progress, knowing neither Of them. When she removed to the flat on Vallejo street, Miss Mary Rivas told Vincent to come and take the first dinner with her. "We'll christen the new place," Bhe said gayly, "and, be sides, I hope you'll find that I'm really American and can cook." That night at nine o'clock when the Mexican maid had departed giggling to the kitchen, Vincent's hostess leaned forward over the table at which they sat, and rested her elbows on it Her bare arms framed her face in a sudden way that took Vincent's heart out of Its regular beat. He leaped to his feet when Maria Rivas, dropping her head, burst Into a torrent of sobs, her white shoulders heaving as her agony got the better of her. As he stood there biting his lips she threw back her head and darted up and to the window. He heard her moan, as. if she saw and heard some "Jjing too awful to comprehend. He walked over and stood back of her till she swung round, and he saw the tear stained face relax and the swimming eyes close. He carried her to the table, and laid her down across it, and rubbed her bands. Then the maid came in, till giggling hysterically, and together We like to gee ra winter nights lit by tha open Rinte And read aloud hl Almanack and tell ts just the dalo . .

Victor A. nermann, In Tuck. . Revolutionist. Lover and a Child. they revived her until she sat up be tween Vincent's arms and slid from the big table to the floor. Vincent sent the astonished maid out by a ges ture of command. "Now what's the matter?" he de manded, hoarsely. "If you're in trou ble tell me." She panted before him. "It was what I remembered," she replied. "How can I forget? "After I had been five years in the States papa sent for me to meet him in Colon. I got off the steamer, and he was waiting on the wharf. I knew he would do it Just that way. He put on his glasses with both hands, and looked at me as if he were very glad, and oh! I loved it, for it was just like it was when I was a little girl and ran into the big room. "But trouble came in Panama, and papa thought we'd better come up to San Francisco. 'I've been so busy down here one way and another,' he said, 'that I'm always suspected of con spiracy. Your mother is dead, and the fun of life is out of it We will live peaceably as befits an old man and his daughter.' " Vincent's voice broke In on her story. "When was this?" "Five years ago. And everything went all right till we got to Amapala, There a friend of papa's came on board and showed me a paper. It said papa was not to be allowed to land in Hon duras, as he was plotting an insurrec tion. He put on his glasses to read it. When he looked up at me, he said: 'We shan't see where your mother is buried, nor the place whore you were born. He shook hands with the friend and said nothing more. "On the day we were in Ocos, in the afternoon, I saw the comandante come on the steamer with some soldiers. He said he wanted to airest papa, but that if he came along willingly he would not use force. "'I am nnder the Amevlcan flag,' papa said. 'I know who has done this. It would mean my death if I went with you.' Suddenly I heard a shot and then another. I hurried to papa's room. Outside there were two soldiers aiming into it. I saw papa sitting on his camp-stool and his two revolvers were in his lap. Ho was hunting for his glasses, but the chain had slipped down. He could not see to shoot. One of the soldiers, after a long time, fired his gun again, and father suddenly picked up his revolvers, and I cried out again. Ho didn't shoot, and I know now that he was afraid of hitting me. Then he fell. The soldiers fired again and ran away, panting and yell ing to each other. I went into papa, and he asked for his glasses, sitting up on the floor very weakly. When I found them and gave them to him, the blood was running very fast down his breast He put on his glasses with both hands, wrinkling up his forehead in the old way, and looked at me very He looked. ... He said, 'I am glad I could see you, little one . . . before I go.' That was all." She went to the window and stayed there, immobile, while Vincent walked up and down behind her. At last she turned around. "That was five years ago. No one has done anything to punish them." Vincent, because she was suddenly to him the woman, did what every man once In his life will do for one woman: he sacrificed his sense of humor. With all seriousness he stiffened up. "It was under my flag he was shot down. I've served under it Give me another flag for Guatemala and I'll go down there and those murderers shall die against a wall, with your flag flying over their heads, its shadow wavering at their feet on the yellow sand." Marie Rivas, because she was the Woman In this case, understood per fectly. "A revolution?" she said, very quietly. He bent over her hand grave ly and youthfully. His manner was confident, as if he saw very clearly what was to be done and knew how to do it, not as if he had promised a girl with tear stains on her cheeks to over turn a government because of a murder one hot afternoon on a steamer in a foreign port This was the beginning of the affair. Its continuation was In a little town on the Guatemalan coast, where Vin cent landed with a ton of munitions of war, marked "Manufactures of Metal," and thirty ragged soldiers. A month later he had a thousand insurgents and twenty tons of munitions, and his blood had drunk in the fever that burns up the years in hours. The first thing Vincent did under Its spell was to march on Ocob and take it When the town was his and the commandante In irons, the young man took out of bis potketbeok a little list of names, made J uui in inui in iinnoa uhuui .i w..- pared this list with the list of prison ers and ordered out a firing squad. Half an hour later the shadow of th flag made by the Woman In the Valle jo street flat waver over the sand on which lay six men in a tangle; Generalissimo Thomas Vincent wenl out Into the sun and looked at tht last postures of the six, and then out across the brimming waters of the Pacific. A mail steamer lay out there in the midst of a cluster of canoes, the American flag drooping from her mast. An Irishman In a major's uniform came out of the cool of the barracks and stopped beside Vincent. "Another week ought to see us In the capital," he said slowly. "But J don't like this business, general. These beggars don't amount to anything. Why did you order them shot?" A barefoot girl of some ten years crept around the corner of the sun baked wall. She picked her way over the sand, darting hot glances fearfully at the two officers. Suddenly she stooped over the crooked body of one of the motionless ones. She tugged at the sleeve of a shirt, and as the face turned slightly upward to her effort, she fell to beating on the ground with both hands, and sobbed in the heat, dry eyed. Vincent strode over to her, and gently picked her up. Hor quick sobs did not cease as he carried her into the shade, his own face drawn and white. He looked over at the major, who stood gnawing on his stubby mousttv.-he. Ho did not reply to the question until the major repeated it angrily. "It was because . . . they de served it. . . .' Vincent stopped and then went on, almost inaudibly, "God knows why I did it, and then there's . . . the " He stopped once more, for the girl's hard sobs had ceased, and her little hands had darted from the folds of her scanty gown to the young general's throat, and the major saw him set the burden softly down, and athen fall forward, the blood pouring round i..e blade of a knife deep in his throat. With an oath the major leaped over to him and lifted his head. Vincent's eyes looked clearly into his. Then the wounded man looked over at the little girl, poised for flight a dozen feet away. He nodded at her with an air of abso lue comprehension, and then died. San Francisco Argonant. QUAINT AND CURIOUS.

If the ocean did not have salt it would freeze somewhat more readily than It does now, but there would be no very marked difference. The ocean is prevented from freezing not so much by its salt as by its size and by its commotion. On account of its size, largo portions of it extend in to warm climates at all seasons, and by reason of its great depth it is a vast storehouse of heat. Its currents dis tribute much warm water among the cold. St. Nicholas. Encouraging the Birds. Any one who has watched a pair of robins or catbirds In nesting tlmo can not fail to be impressed by the quan tities of insects which they catch and carry to the young birds, who are vo racious feeders, and like Oliver Twist, are always ready for more. Without intention on their part they are doing good service to the farmer. On our place everything is dono to encourage the birds on account of their value in destroying insects, and also because we like to see them flying about among the trees and enjoy their cheerful songs. Nest boxes are put up and pans of drinking water provided, while a large Downing mulberry fur nishes fruit for hundreds of birds who make their nests In the trees and shrubs, on the vines of the veranda, ind sometimes on the window sills. As they are never molested or frightened they have become very tame aud show littlo fear, even allowing us to gather mulberries without being disturbed, merely flying away a few feet and con tinuing to eat as before. Catbirds el low us to approach near to the branches on which they are sitting, while the wrens and chipping birds arc even bolder. A young bird having fal len from the nest I picked it up, when presently the mother bird came with a worm and fed it as I -held it in my hand. In winter seycral kinds of wood peckers, snow birds and bluejays come daily for scattered bread crumbs and suet fastened to the veranda rails and nearby trees. As we raise considerable fruit some may wish to know if the birds trouble It. I am sorry to say that they are not content with the free feast on the mulberry tree but take the cherries as their right, eat the finest strawberries and sometimes strip the peas. Rasp berries are an especial feast for them and they sit on the branches and eat the choicest pears. However, we do not blame the birds as they aro good judges of fruit, and do not know any thing about the rights of property. So we use netting and paper bags to some extent, and of fruit that cannot be covered, if there is enough for both, we take what is left (Mrs.) Egbert N. Moore, in The Tribune Farmer. Robert's Visit. . Robert was very fond of his neigh bor, Captain Somes. It seemed so won derful that this man had been round the Horn to the head of the Baltic Sea and to Spain and Australia; it was more wonderful that he had found his way back. "But, Captain Somes," Robert asked one day, "the waves all look alike. How did you know whether to turn to the right or the left?" "You come over to supper with me tonight and I will show you a little instrument that told me just which way to go," said the captain; and this invitation filled Robert with import ance for the remainder of the after noon. When he was being washed and combed and made ready for the visit he began to have some misgivings, and to wish that his mother were going too. There would bo no one to attend to bis napkin for he was only six years old, and he knew things were so apt to go wrong at table. He wished that the captain, had brought that queer lit tle instrument down to the whnrf, whare, where they could talk quite na turally about it. But it was too lata to change the plans, for there was to be an early supper for him, so he could be back at bedtime. "Now remember, Robert," his mother said, "be sure to say 'Yes, 1 thank you,' and 'No, I thank you.'' Robert remembered this when he saw the table set in snowy linen aud whon the captain helped bim into a great leather chair at the end of the long table?' All went well until the maid passed some delicious tarts. "Yes, you can eat some of those," said the captain, "can't you?" Then Robert blundered. "No, I thank you," he said, and then he could have cried for the maid took him at bis word, and set them out of his reach. He looked down at his plate and turned very red. Tho captain sat eating the tarts with a relish, and telling him funny stories all the while. Presently he said, "Aren't you a littlo sorry you dldn' have a tart?" Robert choked and answered hur riedly, "Yes, I thank you." At least this was true. "Well, well," said his friend, "that Is a mistake that is easily corrected," and smiling a little, "Kilty, you put tho tarts right beside Robert's plate and let him help himself." Pleased at being right, this time, Robert's spirits "revived, and he was soon talking and laughing in his old, happy way. He w as not sure, however, that he reully liked visiting until they were in the library, and there he saw the wonderful compats and heard the strange things al;ont tho little finger al ways pointing to tho north. It seemed a very small thing to be so much help in finding Australia. When Robert's big brother called for him, he told the captain what a splen did visit lie had. "You aren't sorry you came, then?" "No, I thank you," said Robert. "And you will como again?" "Yes, I thank you," said Robert; and then he went homo, feeling that he had the right words In the right place, and that lie had an uncommon reason for being proud of himself. Myn Jenks Stafford, In Youth's Companion. How Tonto Found His Master. Some weeks ago. while In the coun try, I visited the circus the last day of Its stay. When I got home, I no ticed a small brown and white spaniel crouched by the stoop. He Jumped up and followed me upstairs, but I saw that he had a license on him, so I left him, thinking that his master was in a nearby store. The ne:t day I found him asleep on tho stoop, so I took him In tho house and fed him. Ho proved a lively com panion, and when I started to teach him tricks he proved a very apt pupil. I kept him for nearly six weeks, dur ing which tlmo he made friends with every one. Then tho circus came around again, and as we all wanted to go I started with Frlslty (for that was the name I gave him) to tho box of fice. Walking in front of me was a port ly old gentleman, whom Frisky at tacked with numerous spells of bark ing. At first I took no notice of it, but suddenly Frinky darted forward, the chain slipped from my hand aud he was Instantly jumping and fawning before the old gentleman. Suddenly he picked up the dog, looked at it intent ly, turned to me and said, sternly, "You young scamp, where did you get that dog?" I was startled and amazed, but I answered as calmly as I could, "I found him asleep on our stoop about six weeks ago. Why do you ask?" "You impudent young rascal! " Ho roared, "I ask because tho dog is mine,'' and turning to tho dog lie said, "Here, Tonto, old boy, come home with nio." Tho dog looked first at mo, then at tho man, and stood slock still between us. "You ungrateful old wretch!" cried the old gentleman, "don't you know me? You're the cause of this," be continued, pointing to me. "What have you got to say for yourself?" I then explained to him all I knew about his Tonto or my Frisky, aud I told lilm he might come home with me and see my father und mother, who I knew would vouch for the ver acity of my story. Ho reluctantly consented, and we ar rived quickly. My parents received him courteously, and when I explained to them the purpose of his visit they told him that what I had said was en tirely correct, but that if he could prove the dog was hl3 they would glad ly give him back. He seemed satisfied with this, and told us tho licenso number and also showed us the nunio "Tonto" under neath the collar. We were all quite satisfied with the proof, and then my father asked the name of our guest. He instantly produced a card which read: WILLIAM H. CLAYTON, Manager and Proprietor, of Clayton's Greater Circus. We were surprised and delighted to have so distinguished a visitor, and when he told us that Tonto's former keeper had been cruel to him and that he had run away the last night of the stay of the circus, my possessing bim was readily explained. Thus I lost Tonto's or Frlsky's com panionship, but I now enjoy Mr. Clay ton's friendship, which is equally as good, If not better. All Wabbly In Their Walk.
