‘glad that to-day these difficulties have been surmounted, and we are now well able to com- pete with the best Boct and Shoe Factories abroad.

Some of the advantages purchasers have in buying from us are,saving of freight,ordering goods when you want them (not six months before), getting them without delay—which saves carrying a large stock which deteriorates on the shelves.

Our leathers are bought directly from the tanneries, thereby saving commissions which many factories have to pay.

We are more determined than ever to give the

One bright spring morning in 187—, when the diligencia rolled out of Toboso, | found myself the only passenger.

| had a ride of 40 miles before me to the City of Mexico, and the prospect of making the trip alone did not suit me. The driver of the dilligence, one Gil Perez, had a vil- lainous face, a face suggestive of treason, stratagems and spoils, and every time it was turned in my direction I instinctively felt under the seat to see if my valise was still there.

My valise was fully worthy this atten- tion on my part. It contained ten thous- and dollars in gold, the result of my collecting trip to Toboso, undertaken in the interest of a wealthy American client at the capital.

The interior of the vehicle was capable of accommodating six or eight persons, and I longed for a fellow passenger.

far behind us, when the lumbering old

horses throwing themselves into a line across the road, with the evident intention of taking to the woods.

“Carrajo !” howled Gil Perez, from his lofty perch, as he gave his whip a vicious erack. ‘*Thou devil of a Sancho, f will cut out thy heart and liver; and as for thee, Perdita, 1 will flay thee alive !”

I laughed. When the driver talked in this fashion to his beasts, he was in a good humor. His lusty oaths and frightful threats counted for nothing

The cause of our halt was soon explained. Two young women had signaled Gil Perez to stop. One of them was bundled into the vehicle by her companion and the driver. It seemed to me that some bird of the tropics, with an overpowering glitter of gorgeous plumage, had swooped down upon me, and I naturally looked out of the window until I could think of some- think to say.

It struck me that the new passenger's maid, for such the young woman outside appeared to be, was a very picturesque af- fair. She had a rich complexion, with fine, black eyes, and her hair, arranged in long, glossy plaits, hung down nearly to her heels. Her head, neck and shoulders were perfectly bare, and her only garments were # loose-fitting white cotton tunic, and a petticoat of red and blue reaching to her knees. She gave me a saucy look and kiss- ed her hand to her mistress, keeping up a lively chatter all the time.

After the driver lad stored away the

her, and a parting adios had been exchang- fea between the ladyand the airy looking young woman who was to be left behind, the diligencia started, and was soon rum- bling on its way.

Under the circumstances it was impossi- ble for me to go on looking at the land- scape forever. It was clearly my duty to make myself agreeable to the senorita.

The task did not appear at all pleasant to me, after I had furtively surveyed the situation out of the tail of my eye. If an excuse for opening a conversation had been lacking, Gil Perez was polite enough to supply it.

**The senor will be delighted to know,” he said, with a flourish, ‘‘that the senorita will honor us with her company all the way to the city.”

I managed, in rather crippled Spanish, to express my almost delirious pleasure, and wound up by saying that I had been in a state of utter gloom and despair over my solitary journey.

To my surprise, the senorita replied in excellent English, and said that she was overjoyed to have an American for a fellow- traveller.

are, what do you call it? Nice, I think, is the word. Yes, they are so nice.”

**Talks like one of our boarding-school missés, I said te myself, and then I made some suitable reply.

There was no question about it. The senorita was pretty. Tall as a daughter of the gods, with midnight hair and eyes, harmonizing well with her brunette com- plexion, she was what I called, impressed as I was by her costume, a_ blazing beauty. She was not dressed for traveling, but perhaps she considered a rid of 40 miles a mere trifle. She was attired aiter the fashion of the senoritas [| had seen pro- menading in the parks at the capital. Her hair was studded with flashing gems, and her dress was of some almost diaphanous material that seemed to gleam and shimmer with the prismatic hues of the rainbow. She wore the inevitable black lace mantilla which ladies are seldom seen without in Spanish-American countries, but if it was intended to effectually conceal her snowy shoulders, it was a lamentable failure as a disguise ; so'much so as the V-shaped bodice which was so liberally cut that I found inyself softly quoting :—

‘On her white breast a sparkling cross she wore, Which Jews might kiss, and infidels adore.”

My fair companion was not long in telling me that she was returning from a brief visit toa sick relation. Beyond that she had little to reveal about herself. But she did not scruple to ask any manner of ques- tions. Did I like Mexico? Was I travel- ing for business or pleasure? What did I think of the Mexican ladies /

I answered all these questions, as I lazily and complacently watched the fluttering fan with which this beautiful creature appeared to do at least half of her con- versation. In fact, I grew unnecessarily communicative. I mentioned my visit to Toboso, and told of my success in collect- ing an old debt for which I was to receive a good fee.

‘** And the senor is not afraid of robbers?’ hinted the senorita.

replied. ‘‘I have a good seven shooter, and with the driver to help me I ought to be able to hold my own.”

mured the senvrita, ** but the brigands are

very bold. I have seen them in the suburbs of the capital.” ** Senorita,” 1 answered, ‘* look at this

little toy, and tell meif a highwayman would dare to face it.”’

I handed her my pistol, a weapon of the latest improved pattern. She examined it with interest.

‘*Let me lay it on the seat here, and con- jceal it under my mantilla,” she suggested. ‘If we need it [ can hand it to you quicker than you could draw it from your pocket.”

As it was really a good idea, J consented readily.

We did not suffer for topics cf conversa- tion, but this girl, for she was nothing more than a girl, made such a pretty pic- ture in her strange costume that I found sufficient entertainment in looking at her. I was just beginning to admit to myself that I was madly in love with her, when the diligencia gave a lurch, and cameto a full stop in a dark and thickly wooded place through which we were passing.

**El Tornado !” shouted Gil Perez.

‘*Merciful saints |!” cried the senorita. | 1 felt an uneasy thrill. El Tornado was jthe bravest and most desperate brigand in jthat region. He had a short time before | kidnapped a wealthy banker and in defauit ,)of a ransom had with his own hand blown ,out the prisoner's brains.

“Quick ! my pistol!” 1 exclaimed.

But a mysterious change had come over the senorita. Before the words were out |of my mouth, she had the weapon at full cock leveled at my head.

**Senor Americano,” she said, ‘*‘it 1s use- less to resist. See?” | Aglance showed that I was helpless. Only four robbers were in sight, but they

~

|

| were four against one to say nothing of the }senorita. ‘The men were all masked. One |held the horses of the diligencia, another stood guard over Gil Perez with a pistol pointed at his head, while the two others, at either window of the coach, covered me with their weapons and demanded my valise.

**The senor will hand it to you.”

Could that voice be the senorita’s? Un- doubtedly it was, but it sounded strangely.

With three revolvers focused on me, within a few inches of my head, there was nothing to do but to make the best of it. I quietly delivered the valise with its gold- en contents. The door was opened, and the senorita was assisted out by one of the | brigands. She was instantly helped into a vacant saddle, and El Toryado exchanged ,4 few whispers with her. Then he turned jto me, ‘* Thanks, seno”, for your attention to jthis lady. You carry with you our best jwishes. Adios !” | ‘** Adios, senor,” chimed in the lady,wav- ling her hand. | 1 grumbled out an answer, and the little |cavalcade spurred off at a gallop. | Gil Perez was of but little comfort to me. | He crossed himself several times, and told ‘me that 1 was lucky in escaping from El 'Tornado with my life. Then he swore at Sancho and Perdita and iashed the horses until they dashed forward at the top of their speed.

| One night a week later, I was coming out ‘of the opera house with afriend. The {President and a group of officials came along, and we made way for them. Sud- ‘denly a face that once seen could never be forgotten flashed before my eyes. Leaning on the arm of adistinguished looking officer ,in a colonial’s uniform was the senorita, my ;own senorita ! | ‘*What is the matter,” asked my friend. “That woman ! ‘**Who is she ?”

|

j

!” I cried. ‘*The Senora Alvaraz,” was the quick an-

swer.

| ‘*And that man ?”

‘*Her husband, Col. Avaraz.”

Taken aback as I was, I thought of what

, was due to my friend. | told him the whole

story.

/ i

; “fam sorry you have lost your Senorita,” {he said, with a grim smile,

‘‘but keeping your discovery to yourself. I have no doubt | Alvarez does sometimes take a hand in |highway robbery under the name of El 'Tornado, and his wife helps him. She posted the gang about your visit to Toboso. Everything that occurred was pre-arranged. | But you have no remedy. Alvarez is an officer of high standing. If you make the ‘charge that he is El Tornado, you will be | shot as sure as fate !”

Other Americans took the same view,and, as my client showed no disposition to make a fight for the recovery of his money, I took my departure for the States without again seeing my Senorita.— Wallace C. Reed in Atlanta Constitition.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderfu qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without im- mediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all drug- gists to recommend it to the poor, dying con- sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 50,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your druggist about it. Samples bottles to try, sold at 10 cents.
