Wh$n I was seventeen I had an adventure that cornea to very few. I went to a ball at the house of Don Antonio Fuentes, ten miles from ours, on the Carmel road. Don Antonio was a cousin of my mother. My aunt Mercedes was with me, and some of the servants, and I promised my father I would be home in good time. I wore a white gown, with a single string of my mother's pearls rv* if niviL' HMiorn woo a men ai ?/uuu iiij 11rv. i nci u nao a i vav in my hair, just below the pearls. It was white, like a pearl itself. I danced with Don Francisco. The people shoated and clapped their hands, and every man threw his hat upon the floor. Don Francisco l>egged me for the rose in my hair, but what could I do? Twenty others had been before him. He was no more to me than the others, even though we had known each other from childhood, and our fathers before us. Well, it grew late, and I told Don a ? i 1 l i lf_ Ail ion io we wouiq nave 10 go. jij aunt Mercedes was with Dona Arcadia. I could see she did not wish to go, but I had told my father. Francisco will go with you," said Don Antonio. "No, he will not," I said. 'There are enough of us." Tt is folly Joeefa," cried Don Antonio. "Morelo has been seen in the hills." "Well, Don Antonio," I said, "I am not afraid of all the Morelos that ever were. I think I would like to see a real bandit. If he should come our servants will frighten him away, and my Aunt Mercedes with one stroke of her fan could put fiftv bandits to flight/' We said good night to Don Antonio and Dona Arcadia. When we got out into the patio there were twelve young men awaiting us. I waved them away. I would have no one. Diego was there with our horses. He had taken care of me since I was a baby. I was as safe with him as with any man in the country. The twelve men looked at me with their bats in their hands. I laughed. "We have ten miles to go." said I. "Will you think of me that long?" Then we went out of the patio and down the hillside into the Valley. Diego rode with us, the rest of the servants ahead. They reached the river and disappeared in the willows by the ford. Soon we were in the water ourselves. As we climbed the top of the opposite bank I saw Diego look suddenly straight ahead of him queerly. I grasped the bridle of his horse. "Diego!" I cried. "What is it?" I looked ahead. A man upon a horse was coming toward us. He was so far away I could not see his face. He reached our men and stopped them. "It is Morelo," I gasped. "It is only a traveler, Nina Jo sefa," said JJiego, out 1 eouia see he thought it was Morelo. "Do not shriek, Aunt Mercedes," [ whispered. "Perhaps he has not seen us and he will go awav." For our servants were moving on, the man with them. "He is deceiving them," I gasped. "It is Morelo. What shall we do? He knows I have been to Don Antonio's, and that I ain wearing my mother's pearls, and that Aunt Mercedes has her topaz! We must reach him before he has a chance to slip away." "ifo, Josefa," sohl>od my Aunt Mercedes. "We shall all bo murdered." "With so many of us?" I asked. Our horses went faster down the road. Our servants stopped and awaited us. We readied them, and 1 looked straight into the face of the man. He J,ook bis bat Mi(^ bowed to ray Aunt Mercedes and .to me. "I am Josefa Bernal," I said. "And I?" he began. "Yes, we know," J interrupted. He bowed again and smiled, as if he did not mind, but I saw an odd look upon his face. Xo doubt an adventure like this did not happen him very often. "I am in good company," he said, "for I am going to your father's. 1 was just asking the way." "Since yon have never been there before," I said, "we shall be glad to have you with us." "Josefa!" cried my Aunt Mercedes. ( "Ah," I said, "pardon me; I present you to my aunt, Dona Mercedes Castro." ? W? wait on down tho road. Th? tdr wu in mj face like some one> dead breath. Something choked rm I put my hand to my throat, but there was nothing there but my mother's pearls. In my terror, I could not help thinking how handsome he was?as an angel! , "Your father is not expecting me," he said. "No," I replied. "You did not tell him you were coming." "It is so late," he went on. "But I did not wish to stay anywhere else. Since I have met you I am doubly favored." "We were at Don Antonio's," I said. "He wished some of them to come home with ua, but I was not afraid. I am afraid of nothing," I said, and laughed. But I was nearly dead with terror. "He had seen my pearls," I thought, "and Aunt Mercedes' topaz, and he is going home to murtK^ my father." , . ft We were nearly at the end of the valley. Beyond ua was a wood and the hill with our house. In the darkness of the trees he would murder me and take my pearls and my Aunt Mercedes' topaz. "This wood is half a mile long," I cried. "\$ho will get through first?" We flew into the darkness of the trees. We could see nothing but the dim line of the road. Our horses 1 ' / j went on like the wind. Every mo* i T ?; T mem i woa e.\px;uug my ucavu. m. %;ried out in terror. That awful choking came. I pot my hand to my throat, but there waa nothing there, not even?yea, th# pearls were there, but any moment his hands might be. "Diego!* I cried. "Diego! Diego!* The blackness of the wood was like a wall before me; then it opened. I was at the foot of the hill. The road flew under the feet of my horse. There was some one coming. Morelo! for I could hear the whizi of his riata. God in heaven, to have that thing around ray neck with the pearls of my mother I There was the house. The dogs ran toward me, barking furiously. The horse stopped at the corridor. T flhimhled to the door and fell into the amis of my father. "Get every one," I cried. "Morelo is coming." Then there was darkness. >!m| When I opened my eyes I was in my roc-n. The sunlight was coming through the windows. My Aunt Mercedes was sitting beside my bed. "Ah!" I cried, "my Aunt Mercedes ! Is my father alive ?" "Nothing has happened," said the. "I have had an awful dream," I said. I could scarcely think it had happened at all. "Come into the air," 9he said. "You will die if you do not hav? air." You see, I was upon the point rf death. When I staggered into the corridor, there was my father, and, heav . , , _A __ ens above?Moreio, jooxmg at me with those wonderful eyes. "Josefa." said my father, "this if Don Luis Ortega of Santa Barbara. He rode with you last night" And my father laughed. Don Luis stayed with us a month. ? He came again three weeks later. You know what happened. We weif married. My father has never allowed me to forget my adventure with Moreio. (Copyright.) CANAL BENEFITS JAPANESE. Shipping men declare that the opening of the Panama canal will re ece the time between the Orient and New York about forty days. This distance from Japan to the Pacific motrth of the canal should not consume more than thirty-five days, according to their calculations, and ?- ^ 1 i? V V?,l, tne tnp irom uie coutu iu jew not more than six days. It is believed that the forty-one days' trip thus outlined may easily be-^queezed into forty days by ambitious skippers. The Japanese are preparing to play a very important part in the increased travel and freight business which will be promoted by the canal. WfTH LIMITATIONS.
