CHAPTER XXIII Continued.
• Her words are followed by a sc^.ie
of emotion as Pauline tends over
Juanita and, taking her in her arms,
kisses her fondly, her tears falling like
raindrops on the upturned olive face,
so faultless in its rounded contour—
the one so fair, the other so dark, and
yet sisters.
"Now I understand why I could not
liate you—my sister. The good Vir-
gin put it Into my heart to let love
reign instead of hatred. Do not grieve,
it is a sweet pleasure to die for you
lioth."
"It is misery—f feel as though I
could never be happy again!" Pauline
eobs.
The old senor has fallen back, and
Dick with one glance sees that he has
passed away.
"Can nothing be done to save her?"
he says, feeling worse than ever be-
fore in his life.
, "It is useless, I know that I have re-
Yeived my death; a Mttle while and 1
shall pass away from you. Sister, let
une die in your arms."
Pauline only weeps as she gathers
the small but beautiful figure close to
her heart; she has searched for Beu-
lah in many lands over the sea, and at
last finds her, but oh, the terrible pain
of this meeting that is but the pre'

uf course. our friends have little
heart for scenes of pleasure, but after
mature consultation it is thought best
all around that Dick and Pauline be
• married by the padre who has officiat-
[ ed at the mine. They will not m: ;e
j the occasion one of merriment—Paul-
i:«is nerves have been too recently
and cruelly wounded for that, but it is
better that Dick may be recognized
the controlling spirit of the mine.
They sit together in a room of Al-
exander's house talking over the situa-
tion. Dick, it may he noticed, has
something on his mind; several times
he starts to speak and by accident is
interrupted; it does not take much to

and slaps his hand 6 iwn upoa his
knee as be exclaims:
"I beg your pardon, Miss Pauline."
Then, with a twitching at the corners
of his mouth, he continues; "The
proposition to draw this Danvers into
a combination would seem very rea-
sonable, only for the fact that I'm
afraid he has already committed him-
self, and is bound hand and foot.
Haven't you, Dick, you Ely rascal?"
Dora giggles. Miss Pauline looks
amazed,
"Is it possible?" she almost gasps.
Dick bows his head.
"You are Richard Danvers?" con-
tinues the fair inquisitor, almost re-
proachfully.
"I did not purposely deceive you.
Years ago my name became Dick Den-
ver among the cowboys, and I have
fallen into the habit of using it, ex-
cept when signing legal documents. I
knew that both you and the senor here
were hunting for me—after I met you
I learned this, and my chum Bob—
bless his dear innocent old soul!—told
me that he had been hired by Lopez
to find Richard Danvers, and he
meant to do it, though he changed his

ances.
Somehow the conversation takes a
retrospective turn, and Pauline, in a
reflective way, says:
"It has always appeared strange to
me that the Prefect of Paris, with all
the force at his command, was unable
to supply me with any information
concerning Beulali. He seemed confi-
dent that he knew where Antoinette
Duval might be found, and gave me
every assurance of success, but it
wound up in a failure."
Bob pricks up his ears—he holds
his breath like a man who has sud-
denly remembered something that
quite astonishes him.
"I saw a man running after the twin

aloft a small packet that looked like a

says Colonel Bob, gravely.
The girl looks at him gratefully ,but
shakes her head.
"It would be useless; besides, when
I remove my hand from the wound,
life goes out. Give me a few more
minutes to look Into my sister's face; :
t)h. how strange it all seems—how hap-
py I am to know that there is some
jne who loves me, who will think of j
me."
Pauline weeps more violently than
before—Dick winks very hard to keep
back the tears, while the valiant Col-
onel Boh. to hide his emotion, turns
and makes a rush toward the little
naturalist who has ventured to show
Jiis head and shoulders from under the
table, but who vanishes within his
shell much after the manner of tor-
toise drawing in head and feet in
times of danger, when he sees that
fierce terror of New Mexico descend-
ing upon him.
As Colonel Bob, having furtively
■drawn the sleeve of his coat across his
«>yes, turns again, he sees that all is
over; Dick is leading the almost faint-
ing Pauline from the room, followed
"by the hysterical Dora, while Antoin-
ette Duval bends over the lovely mo-
tionless form of the girl who gave her
own life to save that of the man she
loved.
ard."
The colonel grasps the hand of his
comrade, and while he squeezes it de-
clares vehemently that it would have
to be something ten times as grave as
this that would make h&n feel that
any wrong had been put upon him—•
that Ills words have only been chaff,
and that after all the affair has ter-
minated about as well as it could.
Dick turns to the fair girl.
"And you. Pauline—do you forgive
Ihe little deception?" he gently asks.
Miss Westerly has been surprised;
she can hardly comprehend it as yet;
her name will be Danvers then, in-
stead of Denver; but what difference
does it make when the man she Is
about to marry will be the same Dick?
"Freely and fully, in fact, there is
nothing to forgive, Dick. You have
'had your little fun, and on my part I
make sure of the mine between us.
The worry lest Mr. Danvers might

enemy, giving Senor Lopez control,

drawing the eyes of the world for at
least an Instant's attention is Brazil,
| the Pan-American conference in Rio
de Janeiro giving prominence to the
] country called by some one "Portugal's
Gigantic Daughter."
You remember -or perhaps you
; never knew in this age with its so
1 many things to know—that the royal
I family of Portugal in 1807 fled to
Brazil, that in 181") the colony was de-
clared a kingdom. A few years later
the Portuguese court having returned
; to Europe, a national congress at Rio
i De Janeiro chose Dom Pedro, eldest
j son of the king of Portugal, perpetual
dttender of Brazil, bis title now con-
stitutional emperor and perpetual de-
I fender. In 18:11 Dom Pedro I. ab-
] dieated in favor of his son; Dom Pedro
j II. reigned until the autumn of 1889.
I Dom Pedro II. was a wise and tactful
| ruler, devoted to the interests of his
' country, but was dethroned by a suc-
cessful revolution, he and his family
| were sent into exile, the empire of
Brazil was declared a republic, a re-
public styled the United States of
| Brazil.
To-day there are not nearly so many
j Portuguese as Italians ill Brazil; the
i census of 190(1 showed 1,100,000 ltal-
' ians, the majority settled in San
i Paulo. In the southern Brazilian states
there are very prosperous German and
Italian colonies in IUo Grande de Sul,
j Portuguese, Spanish, Germans, Aus-
I irlans, Scandinavians, Poles, Russians,
\ English and French, of whom the pre-
! dominating race, in so far as numbers
are concerned, is the Italian. There
are nearly four times as many Italians
as Portuguese in Brazil, notwithstand-
ing Ihe fact that the country was for
so many centuries u Portuguese colony,
then a Brazilian empire, and now a
| Brazilian republic with the Portuguese
I tongue the official language, and man-
ners and customs and leading families
to-ilay harking back to the mother
land of Portugal, as America to Eng-
land."
Brazilians are not Spanish-Ameri-
cans, they do not like to be known as
Spanish-Americans. "Brazilian" is the
only acceptable term.
Brazil is of a bigness, larger than
the United States prior to the purchase
of Alaska. Bishop Hendrix, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, writes of
the land as "A Republic In the Trop-
ics;" calls attention to the fact that
the wide region is almost wholly in
the tropics, and that it is one of the
world's largest territories under a
single tlag. The last to emancipate
her slaves, the task was accomplished
without bloodshed or without granting
compensations to the owners. Immi-
gration followed fast on the emancipa-
tion of ihe skives, which emancipation
was begun in 1871. carried on gradual-
ly, completed in 1888.
CHAPTER XXIV.
Mrs. Richard Danvers.
Where the tumult of battle raged
such a short time before, a fearful si-
lence reigns. Men go about with lan-
terns, searching for the wounded, who
| are carried into one of the mine
houses to receive attention from the
company's doctor, who most certainly
earns his good salary on this night at
least. The dead are removed at once
and quietly buried, and they are not
nil on the side of the Mexicans, either.
It lias been a sad night for El Dorado,
but the lesson has been so severe that
it may be effectual.
Dick has been deeply affected by the
sad scene he has just witnessed, but
-when Dora has led her sobbing mis-
tress away to her room, he hurries
outside to see about certain things
that should be done, and is just in
time to see a figure come sprawling
from the window, landing in a mud-
hole with a splash, while the voice of
Colonel Bob calls:
"Hope that will teach you a lesson,
you imp of I.ondon assurance—I reck-
on you'll fight shy of women folks in
cenera.l and the charming Dora in par-
ticular after this."
"Exeunt Professor John," says Dick,
and then begs his comrade to come
out and lend a helping hand. A storm
is rapidly approaching, and before It
bursts upon the valley every wounded
man to be found should be provided
with shelter, while the fallen must be
placed in their last resting-place.
Thus the night passes away and
morning comes at last. A new day
lias dawned for the great mine—peace,
with honor, has been gained, and now
that the scheming brain af the old
senor is stilled forever it will doubt-
less last.
A mournful task awaits them—all
that Is earthly of poor Juanita must
be consigned to mother earth. No
tears are shed over Senor Lopez, but
the scene Is very sad when the plain
coffin, made on purpose, and contain-

alone," he says.
"You?" gasps Dick.
"That message arrived during the
night, I received it, paid for it—six-
teen francs, eight centimes."
"Oh!" '
"I thrust the little packet into my
pocket, fully intending to hand it over
to Miss Pauline in the morning and
recover my advances."
"You forgot it," almost shrieks Dora.
"I changed my coat for a rough pea-
jacket in the morning, and to-day is
the first time I have had that same
coat on since the day we left Havre.
They have always accused men of car-
rying letters they were sent to mail,
and this time I've put my foot in it
sure enough. Miss Pauline. I'm very
sorry, and if I can redeem myself in
any way, you can't treat me too rough-
ly."
"We are all liable to errors of judg-
has kept me awake on more than one
occasion, I can assure you," Pauline
says.
"For that I beg your pardon, and as-
sure you it will not happen again."
"He means to be an exemplary hus-
band," declares Bob.
"Well, don't you?" demands Dora,
quickly.
"1 reckon you can trust me. There
comes the good padre up the street,
l.adies. summon your best nerves to
| the surface for the occasion."
A chorus of exclamations break
forth, Mrs. Alexander having joined
them with her husband.
"I know I shall he stupid and forget
to make the proper responses," de-
clares Dora.
"You?" exclaims Miss Pauline.
Dora is confused with blushes, while
the colonel roars with laughter.
"You see." he says, "we made up
our minds this morning, at least I did,
and Dora was convinced by my rea-
ment, Bob. I shall not be too bard i a°nlns. Hint there was no need of mak-
on you. One question—have you the
message yet?"
"I feel something crackle in my
pocket—yes. here it is," and after hav-
ing lain all these weekx snugly repos-
ing In a man's pocke', the message
i f the Prefect of Paris Is drawn to
the light of day. Bob holds it aloft
triumphantly.
He breaks open the end of the blue
envelope, and takes out the inclosure
It has contained, unfolds this latter
and holds It up so that the daylight
entering at a window may fall upon
the page.
" 'Antoinette Duval is with Senor
I.opez. His supposed daughter Jtiati-
ita is the lost Beulah. We have also
discovered—Richard Danvers. He

"Great Heaven, and I never dreamed
it." and Bob strikes his forehead with
his hand.
"Proceed, my dear colonel—If we
can find him we may be able to make
our position sure by some sort of
partnership agreement," says the
girl from New York, when to her
amazement Bob Harlan givea a shout
ing two separate jobs out of the busi-
ness—we couldn't do better than fol-
low such a good example, so we de-
cided that Dora shall become Mrs.
Bob Harlan this A. M."
The surprise over, Pauline con-
gratulates the girl who lias been so
much like a companion and sister to
her, always as faithful as the needle
to the pole. Then the padre Is an-
nounced; and here we must drop the
curtain on the quiet little scene, for
the magician in clerical robes, and
armed with authority, has by a few
words created Mis. Richard Danvers,
and relegated to the past Miss Pau-
line of New York.
(The end.)
Delicate Measuring Instrument.
An apparatus that makes It possible
to measure the seventy-millionth part
of an inch has been Invented by Dr.
3haw, of University college, of Not-
tingham, England. It Is so delicate
that it cannot be used where there Is
traffic In the street. Even the buzzing
of a fly has made It neceisary to
peat an experiment.
something like 800,(WO Germans. In
the seaport towns the principal part
of the population is of European de-
scent.
The returns of the census of 1900
were not adopted, considered fallacious
as they reported a decrease in popula-
tion. The census of 1890 gave the total
population as 14,000,000; some over
6,000,000 whites, more than 4,000,000
metis (half-breeds), about 2,000,000
negroes, and 1,200,000 Indians. The
population to-day is put; in round
numbers, at 17,000,000. The Indian
element preponderates in the north-
ern provinces, the negroes are numer-
ous in Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco
and Bahia. Brazil has a larger popu-

latlon than any country in America
save the United Slates; less than one-
half are whites, one-third are half-
lueeds, one-sevenlh negroes, and the
Indians are less than one-tenth.
Ethel Amies, writing in the National
Magazine, says: "As in this country
so there Is in Brazil the same fusion
of races and of nationalities; Italians,

Brazil has had her share of financial
problems. The cost to replace slav-
ery by immigration was tremendous.
With the organization of the federal
government in 1890 radical changes
were made. Revolutionary movements
later in the 90's added to the difficul-
ties. But the ship of state has passed
through the rough waters, guided by
the skillful piloting of President
Campos-Salles and other sagacious
statesmen. Next November the repub-
lic celebrates its seventeenth birthday,
at peace, at home and abroad. Brazil,
unlike certain neighboring states,
courts the friendship of the nations
labors for peace and continued prog-
ress.
Brazil is an agricultural country, as
yet undeveloped. Coffee is the chief
product cultivated, then come sugar,
tobacco, cotton, mate (Paraguay tea),
India rubber, timber, cocoa and nuts.
The forests and mines are of great
value, their wealth not yet brought
forward. The Industries are cotton
spinning and weaving, sugar refining,
brewing, match, paper and hat manu-
facture. The "strike" is unknown in
industrial Brazil.
Perhaps one reason we show so
much Ignorance of the other America,
and of Brazil particularly we speak
now, is because of the distance. It is
a shorter run from Rio de Janeiro to
European ports than to ports of North
America. Our country Is just awaking
to the fact that "Portugal's Gigantic
Daughter" is a lady to be paid court to.

A Crystal Wedding.
The "crystal" wedding day comes 15
years after the date of the original
ceremony, and Is one of the very pret-
tiest of all the anniversaries. The in-
vitations may be written or painted
upon sheets of thin, transparent cellu-
loid, which is a very good substitute
tor glass, inclosing these cards in the
regulation cream-colored envelope, it
it is best to have a reception with
hours in the afternoon and evening, if
ihere are to be many guests. The din-
ing room may be made most attractive
by keeping everything in white,
spreading a canvas on the fioor, using
glass candlesticks and white candles,
with the daintiest of white shades. A
pretty decoration is to have a large,
handsomely ornamented cake In the
center of the table, surrounded by 15
candles. Scatter bride roses over the
cloth, or white sweet peas.
The tiny glass icicles for Christmas
tree decorations are just the thing for
an affair of this kind. Suspended from
the chandeliers and gas jets, they
catch and reflect the light in a most
fascinating manner. In serving, glass
must be used wherever possible. In
Austria coffee Is served in glass cups,
and so the fashion could be introduced
here in an occasion like this. Of course
the bon-bons, salted nuts and olives
will be In glass receptacles. In place
of loaf sugar, substitute rock candy
crystals in n cut glass bowl. If the
hostess is the owner of any lamps or
candlesticks with glass pendants, this
Is the time to bring them out.
If expense does not have to be con-
sidered, (he tiny mirrors in metal set-
tings would be charming souvenirs or
place cards, the name written on the
glass in red ink. A programme of wed-
ding music would be an addition to'
this reception. As for the gifts to be
given, there Is an endless variety from
which to select. Articles for the desk,
toilet and table come in exquisite
forms and colorings.
An Informal Luncheon.
"Come to luncheon at one, wear a
tub suit and bring your thimble." So
the lif.Ue notes read that were received
by e!i_|it young matrons one day last
week. On an awning shaded porch the
hostess welcomed her guests, and the
maid passed tall tumblers of lemonade.
In which three large, luscious cherries
floated.
In Ihe dining room, which was all In
Delft blue, with blue and white drape-
ries, the table was set with Japanese
paper doilies, which come In all sizes
and In a bewildering variety of colors.
The hostess explained that those dol-
lies were really the cause of the lunch-
eon fit this particular time, for every-
one knew that she was preparing for
an extended trip to the seashore. "I
have a scheme to get you girls to heip
me out of a dilemma, which I'll make
known after you have satisfied the in-
ner 'man' ami are in a humor to be
worked." And what an appetizing
spread it was! A mass of scarlet ger-
aniums filled a large copper bowl in
the center of the table. Four oopper
candlesticks, shaded with scarlet, made
a soft, beautiful light; the dishes were
blue and the service plates of copper.
They really belonged to a nut set, but
were most effectively used in this way.
The first course was red California
cherries dipped In water, then In pow-
dered sugar, and chilled; they were on
nasturtium leaves In tall glasses.
Creamed chicken and mushrooms in
pastry shells, green peas, and Saratoga
potatoes came next, with the tiniest
of baking powder biscuit. The salad
was a fruit mixture, with cheese
straws. Delicious cherry Ice was the
dessert, with lady fingers and macca-
roons. Iced tea with lemon juice passed
In a small glass pitcher was served
throughout the meal. A housekeeper
will see what an easily prepared re-
past this was, yet how delicious.
"Now, prepare to work and be
worked," said the hostess, and she
produced a number of lingerie waists,
which were all finished except sewing
the lace on collars and sleeves. By
five o'clock the last stitch had been
taken and a delightful time credited
to an already much beloved hostess,
who said, In parting: "Many hands,
make light work."
Form of Introduction.
A young man on being presented to a
young woman lifts his hat and bows.
The young woman may extend her
hand if she feels like doing so, but a
«mile and a friendly recognition are
all that is necessary. You never intro-
duce a girl to a young man, but you do
Introduce the young man to the girl.
Thus: Miss B., may I present Mr.
X.? Or: Mr. X., I want to Introduce
you to Miss B. Yes, you can always
say that you are pleased to meet the
young lady.
