By HENRY KIRK.
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.

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.

"You are in favor of government
ownership ?"
"With certain limitations," replied
Mr. Dustin Stax. "I'd welcome an
arrangement by which the government
would be pledged to buy any
