Hut Martin was at no such pleasant task, lie was lighting. lie was going over and over a battle that he had waged for two weeks. Kver since that day when the Colonel had brought him to the Bouselle home, and lie had lelt something couie out of Alice's quiet, bro.vu eyes aud got all over his big body. Ho bad spent every evening there since. Arizmiiians have, almost of necessity, taken on the Mexican habit of turning night into day.

Down the deserted street a ragge I Mexican will drive a herd of fuzzy, drah burros, loaded with crooked limbs ol oak, from their mountains, or a tile ol olla sellers, tall and straight and impressive as a religious procession, will walk by, their heads wrapped in white rags, and the great re' pots balance 1 on top, All day long can be heard the slni | crack of the whips of the mule and oxen drivers who are taking the huge wagoui ol ore to the mill ou the river. Hut as darkness came on Study Bob'i stage swung its way with six plunging horses (that had begun to plunge on the edge ot tow ny through dust clouds to the postollice, and the town was awake. The Crystal Palace was full of men, talking au I gambling and leaning over the bar. From ten until 2 the piano playe t ncco opaniinents, and the singers, 'special artists from the nuwu??i of the world," sang topical song* an i tender old ballads on the saloon stage. Through Allen street a cosmopolitan crowd pushed. Stolid Coruisduneii,with tlieir oddly musical voices and queer use of the nominative for the objective, talked loudly to each other. Slavs, Chinese, Mexicans, Missourians and sleek, unmistakable gamblers of every nationality jostled each other 011 the hoard sidewalk. Here and there the uniform of a United States soldier from Fort lluachuca showed its jaunty cap. ' 'he Doctor's house was tar away from all that; ami coming home I runt the hotel in the midst of it to this sweet, pretty home had had its effect upon Martin. He hadn't known much about homes, lie hud uiudc his way all hit life long, and tho ncarost approach to n holiday ho had ever bad was the six Months he spent in Freiberg, perfecting himself in mining engineering. Alict Bonselle was the first young la ly he had ever known very well. And now he belittled those Freiberg months as n factor in his present success, and re proacbed himself for ever having gone there. He was thinking about it as tin Colonel looked at liim,. He thought ol other raoonli.'bt nights in the late Gorman springtime, and of Hilda, whose father kept the restaurant where he att hi-i simple meal and drank his beer. Hi knew still that Hilda was the most beau tiful girl he had ever aeeo, but be Indignantly repudiated tbe knowledge an<i wondered bow be had ever loet hie heed over tboie tiuU of red eud white end those smooth breida of yellow heir. And he bed promised to go back end marry her I He bad begged end prayed for her promise, end sbo bed given it tgaiost her father's wishes: whnthough* nine oi e poor American student, and loss of bis promises. That had been e tear ego. lie had not written, for lilda could not rccoivo his letters, tvould not disobey her fntber, while she ass in his hou*e. Her image had grown dimmer and dimmer, as work came to fill his thoughts. And now?he had met Alice. He had never broken the smallest promise in hi* life. A little hank cf clouds had piled up from behind the jagged crestlino of the 41 whet-stones." From its darkness cams once, twice, a (lash of light. 'Oh, it's going to rain!" cried Mrs. Roosellc.

"Unfortunately the A pitches have never learned the Morse ilpuubet," sai 1 iier husband dryly. 1 "Their system must be very elaborate," said the Colonel," (or them to ex1 tract so much information cut of such seemingly simple signals. Nobody has ever lesruei exactly how they do it." 'Mind-reading," said the Doctor froiu his corner. "It wouldn't surprise me at all if that were ex setly it," said Madam eagerly. "Toose Indians for generations aud gen?rations have lived so close to nature that they must know secrets that we dou't. Ihero are lots of things we haven't found out yet. You know yourself, Victor, that often and often I am j.i-t ab iut to speak of a thing when you take it out of my lips. l'eople do uupre s things on each other's minds." Martin gave his thoughts a qtucK check and stifled a sigh. Tue Colonel said to himself: "Now he is wondering if he can impress his hopes upon Alice's mind. Better out with it. Boy, you haven't half enough pluck. Why don't you toll her oil to the other veranda "1 wonder if th?,ri? ar? nnv si'nil tiros ill the 11r ?400ns," l?? s'ii I alou i.

It was startling and jarring upon the white serenity of the ni^ht. "This is terrible," Airs. Itonselle siid.

There was a practiced ban I run skillfully over a perfectly tuned ouitar. "Sh?sh?" said the Doctor sitting up in the ham nock. Save for the plaintive inasi;: there was de i I silence across tho street. And then softlv, sweetly as the lark rising to meet t ie sun, a Derinuii fill's voice lifte I itsuli ah >vo lae tinkling chords. A chill to ?k hold of MuTin's heart. Ho was lino \ iu Freiherj*.

Carpenter says in thf Washington Star* A Russian dinner is rather a curioui air and a swell dinner lasts for hours. 10 tirst thing jou take is an appetizer, d this consists of vodka, a Russian indy, together with such rolishes as riare, raw herring, smoked salmon, iv smoked goose, radishes, butter and ecse. This lay out is on a counter at u end of a restaurant and you usually ind up to eat it before taking your seat the table for the regular dinner.

Tbo li soups are much liked by the Rusins aud I ordered one to-day without lowing what it was. It bad a creamy lor, but thero was iu the center of it a see of ice as big as my fist and there sre pieces of cucumber, herring and :at floating around in it. I tasted it d it made me think of boiled beer fed with ice, aud the taste was ough. Some of tiie soups were very od and one older for soup is always ough for two. The tlsh that 1 find re are excellent and tlicre is a dish lied soliatika, n.ade of tish and cabge, which is not at all bad. Another a sucking pig, boiled, aud served cold, d another favorite dish is roast muta, stuffed with buckwheat. The Rusus have excellent meats, and you will t as good beef aud mutton here as ywhere in the world. The butter is variably good, aud some of that which iave had is so sweet that I can eat it e chccsc. It is never salted and it is ved in great loaves, the guost cutting as much as he wishes. I do uot like 5 Russian beer known askvas, but the k is good everywhere, and the Russian tes a glass every hour or so, aud rchants do all their business over i.
