and verily did his knees quake be-
neath lilm.
At the appointed time two shadowy
f'.gures approached the nook from op-
posite directions. The girl wore a
leng cloak and a heavy veil. The
man was enveloped In a great coat,
the collar of which was turned up
about his face. The signals were duly
given and responded to, and at the ap-
pointed signal both, as agreed, slinu-
taneously uncovered his face.
"Peter!" gasped Jennie, aghast.
"Jennie!" exclaimed Peter In tone'
t-f surprise.
Then Peter, whose program had
been most carefully thought out, clasp-
ed Jennie In his arms and shouted:
"Why, It's all right, after all. -i
couldn't see how I could have a son!
mate when I loved Jennie so dearly.
Now, see, you are my soul mate, and
it's all right."
"Yes, but you are not Leonidas," ex
postulated Jennie.
"Yes, I am, in the spirit world." re
[.lied Peter soberly.
"And how did you know my name
was Muriel?" asked Jennie.
"I didn't until I saw you, Just now,"
replied Peter unblushingly.
And Jennie yielded, not altogether
unwillingly.
But an occasional suspicion would
cross her mind and she never could
i:nderotnnd why Peter lost his Inter-
est in soul culture so early In thw
honeymoon.
plied the young man dismally.
"You will some time, Peter, when
your soul is sufficiently clarified,"
responded the girl, "and your spirit
escapes the fetters of your carnal
mind which now holds It. Some day
some other soul will signal yours and
jou will know you have found your
true affinity."
"I've found it now," replied Peter
doggedly. "It's you, Jennie, that Is my
affinity, and I know it, and I want to
marry you, and you half promised
awhile back—"
"Hush, hush, Peter," interrupted the
girl. "That was ail boy and girl talk
end before I learned of the great spirit
world and of the psychic communion
ol souls. 1 like you very well as a
friend, but the fates have me in their
bands and I I.now not whither they
are taking me."
"Well, I'm getting eighty a month
now," rejoined Peter, "and after next
month I will get a hundred. You ain't
takin' no great chances on that."
"Oh, Peter, Peter, you cannot under
stand," rejoined the girl. "Your mind
runs only to material things. I am
waiting to find my twin soul."
"Where d'ye expect to find it?" ask-
ed Peter desperately.
"Out yonder, In the great universal
ether," replied the girl, closing her
eyes and clutching wildly at the air.
"Sometimes when conditions are favor-
able I seem almost able to recognize
the presence of my sjul-mate, but i
have not progressed far enough to ex-
pect perfection as yet."
"Well, all I know is that I love you
more'n any old twin soul floatin'
about in the air and I kin prove It If
jou can show me the soul," and
Peter bit his brown mustache sav-
agely.
"Peter," said the girl severely, "If
Jou talk like that I must refuse to
converse with you."
Whereupon Peter or course sue
cumbed and the result was that he
went along with Jennie to a meeting
of the Soul Culture Society to hear
a lecture by a brown-skinned apostle
from India or some other far awaj
land of which Peter had but a vague
Idea. During the meeting many ex-
periences were given by the elect, al!
ot which befuddled poor Peter as

columns, addressing Leonidas."
Tuesday evening Peter called on
jennle, but found her s:i preoccupied

ed early. He did not complain, how-
ever, as usual, of her pet fad. On the
Offered Real Curiosity.
A recent visitor to the churchyard
n T'"nepp8fleld, England, asked a mid-
dle-agcu native of the village to be dl
rected to the graves of Burke and
Waller. The man said he had no recol-
lection of any such persons having
'teen burled there. "But," he added,
"you see that little chemist's shop over
here? That's the shop where Dever-
ux, the trunk-murder man, used to be
in apprentice!"
"Out yonder, In the great universal
ether.''
"Peter!" gasped Jennie aghast.
contrary, he said, solemnly, upon leav-
Itg:
"I don't know when I will see you
again, Jennie, and I want to thank
you for arousing my spiritual pow-
ers."
"Are you going away?" she asked.
"What do you mean?"
"No, 1 am not going away," he re-
plied. "But at last my true self has
jwakened, under your instruction,
and I have had a wonderful expert
once."
"Oh, I am so glad," she exclaimed
"But why should that prevent your
ootning to see me."
"I have had a communication with
11} soul's mate," lie replied, "and 1
am impelled to follow it, where'er II
leads."
Jennie did not scein so enthusias
tie as might have been expected, but
vlshed him well in his quest.
"I think I, too, have found my twin
soul," she said. "I will know for sure
o-night."
She glilneed Involuntarily at the
able, and Peter's eyes, following hers
:rated upon the Universe of the pre-
vious day, opened to the very page
ontainlng the advertisement before
eferred to.
And Peter, I set It down in sadness
ir,d shame, departed chuckling aud-
u!y.
Sure enough on the following day
u answer to the advertisement ap-
peared In the paper, signed Muriel,
r.d admitting that her soul had fe!t
he divine thrill at exactly 12:14 on
he previous night. Then followed a
ampaign of correspondence through
he advertising columns of The Unl-
c-rse, which sadly depleted the
irses of two young persons and
trained Peter's last resources In the
atter of psychic phraseology.
At last Muriel asked to meet her
on! mate In tlie tlesh, and an appoint-
ment was duly made In a secluded
'ook in the park In the early hours
•f a certain evening, a proper code of
nuls being arranged. Then It was

Fnroute to Old Mexico.
Editor Clipper:
I am going to write you til
short sketch of our trip to Old I
Mexico, knowing that a good j
many of your subscribers will
earnestly appreciate the inform
ation if you see lit to put it in
your next issue.
I'll try and give you a clear and
candid opinion of the country
and cities of Old Mexico as it
looked to us on our trip from Ok-
lahoma to this pjint, Guaymas
(Republic Sonora.) Mexico. It is
noted as a fruit country, and for
ils mining and sett port advantag-
es, with a climate unsurpassed.
We, a company of six (intent
on the same purpose) leftOklalio
ma (<ity Jan. 10 on the Santa Fe
limited, which we found very
real in its limitations when it
came to seats. Reached Newton,
Kansas aud left it at 6:10 p. m.
still enroute and reaching La-
Junta Col. on the morning of the
17th at this point and the next
which was Trinidod we com-
menced to appreciate some of
our little incidents and especially
the scenory.
The Cardenas Hotel at Trinidod
and the Alverado at Alburquque
N. M. were very interesting
features, each covering some
500 or more feet in length includ
ing the depots. Structures are
made of concrete mixed with
sort of gravel to give it a rough
appearing surface; immense pil
lars and wide porches. As we
left the Colorado line near Trini-
dad after hitching two engines
on in front of our train and at-
taching another to the rear we
proceeded to go through a two
mile tunnel like a gopher would
through a woodchuck hole. We
all took a smoke, ladies included,
at the expense of the 14. R Co.
It was quite a contrast when we
did strike good white air nearly
8000 feet above the rest of you
human souls. Talk about your
Angel food that's where you get
it. We stopped at Elpaso, Texas,
over night. I think one who has
never visited that part, of Texas
would be very pleasantly im-
pressed with the pluck and en-
ergy especially the exhilarating
influence the atmosphere has tin
one wiio just left a cool climate
like we had. Left Elpaso 9 a. in.
Friday passing the great lava
beds 00 miles out. This was a
very interesting feature to the
passengers. Reached Benson,
Arizona, Saturday 1:30 p m
There we changed our tactics a
little for a few days and accepted
the kind offer of our railroad co.

ing eo's. who have their million*

After a short investigation on
this line, took train again for No
:ales enroute for tho coast. At
Nogales, Arizona, made arrange-
ments for our change of money
to Mexican currency so we could
do business with tlie Yaquis if
they happened to get the drop on
us first.
This town is part in Arizona
and part tin old Mexico's soil.
Use Mexican money one side
of the line, American currency
on the other side—Americans,
Japs, Chinaman and Mexicans on
both sides. Jan. L'4th Just ar-
rived at Hermoslllo, capital of the
state of Sonora. If it wasn't for |
the jabbery asd clatter at the do
pot by our Mexican cousins, one
would almost think this must be
