One night while solacing himself by singing hymns in the garden, he hears the tinkling of a guitar, apparently endeavoring to accom- pany his voice. The same thing happens the next evening, and on the-third night, at the corclusion ef his psalm, a childish but fascinating voice is mischievously up- lifted in a Spanish love song. Impelled by curiosity, he approaches the wall of the garden, and startles the singer, a beautifal ycung girl, who falls off the wall into his arms. Also valuable Advertisers, PART IL. He had broken her fall, and almost in- stantly, yet with ir finite gentleness, he re- leased her unharmed, with hardly her isp flounces crumpled, in an upright po- sition against the wall. Even her guitar, still hanging from her shoulders by a yel- lew ribbon, had bounded elastic and re- scunding against the wall, but lay intact at her satin-slippered feet. She caught it up h another quick little cry, byt this time more of sauciness than fear, and drew her little hands across the strings, half de- RESP GE GAR RAAAR ALS ing “OUR RATIVE HERBS” cif potent bead p krown to seien tnd $i.

She tried to pronounce it once or twice desperately, and then shook her little head so violently that a yellow rose fastened over her ear fell to the ground.

The melank-olly, he ees not so bad; but the fierce—ah! he is weeked! Ees tt how the Americano make s his serenade?" Masterton’s brow again darkened. And his hymn of exaltation had been mistaken by these pecple—by this—this wanton child! It was no serenade,” he replied curtly; it was in praise of the Lord!’ “Of how mooch?” “Of the Lord of Hosts—of the Almighty in Heaven.” He lifted his long arms rev- erently on high. Oh!” she said, with frightened look, slightly cdging away from the wall, Ata secure distance she stopped. “Then you a soldier, Don Esteban?” ae “Then for what you sink ‘I am a soldier of the Lord,’ and you will make die ‘in His Oh, yes, you have said.” She gathered up her guitar tightly under her arm, shook her small finger at him gravely and said: “You are a hoombog, Don Este- ban; good a’ night,” and began to glide away. “One moment, “tt Miss—Miss Ramirez,”’ called Masterton, “I—that 1s, you—you have—forgotten your rose,” ‘he added, feebly, holding up the flower. She halted. “Ah, yes: he have drep, you have pick him up, he is yours. I have drop, you have pick me up, but Iam not yours. Good a’ night, Commandante Don Esteban!” With a light laugh she ran along beside the wall for a little distance, suddenly leaped up and disappeared in one of the largest gaps in its ruined and helpless structure. Stephen Masterton gazed after her stupidly, still holding the rose in his hand, Then he threw it away and re-en- tered his home. Lighting. his candle, he undressed him- self, ptayed fervently—so fervently that all remembrance of the idle, foolish inci- dent was wiped from his mind—and went to bed. He slept well and dreamlessly. The next morning when his thoughts re- curred to the previous night this seemed to him a token that he had not deviated from nis spiritual integrity; it did not oc- cur to him that the thought itself was a tacit suspicion. ‘ So his feet quite easily sought.the garden again in the early supshine, even to the wall waere she had stood.

Was not this the opportunity of conversion he had longed for? The chance of exercising his gifts of exhorta- tion, that he had been hiding in the napkin of solitude and seclusion? Nay, was not all this predestined? His illness, his con- sequent exile to this land of false gods— this contiguity to the mission—was not all this part of a supremely ordered plan for the girl's salvation—and was he not elected and ordained for that service? Nay, was not the girl herself a mere unconscious irstrument in the hands of a higher power; were not her voluntary attempts to accom- pany him in his devotional exer a vague stirring of that predestined force within her? Was not even that -wanton- ness and frivolity contrasted with her childishness—which he had at first misun- derstood—the stirrings of the flesh and the spirit, and was he to abandon her in that struggle of good and evil? He lifted his bowed head that had been resting on his arm before the little flower on the table—as if tt were a shrine—with a flash of resolve in his blue eyes. The wrinkled Concepcicn coming to her duties in the morning scarcely recognized her gloomily abstracted master in this trans- figured man. He looked ten years younger. She met his greeting, and the few direct inquiries that his new resolve enabled him to make more freely, with some informa- tion—which a later talk with the shop- keeper, w’9-had a fuller English vocabu- lary, confirmed in detail. ‘es! ur iy this was a niece of the mis- sion gard-ner, who lived with her uncie in the ruined wing of the old presido.

She was gay ari flirted with the Cabaileros, young and old, but she cared not for any.” Whatever satisfaction this latter state- ment gave Masterton, he believed it was because the absence of any disturbing worldly affection would make her an easier convert. But how continu this chance acquaint- ance and effect her conversion? For the first time Masterton realized the value of expediency; while his whole nature inipelled him to frankly and publicly seek her so- ciety and openly exhort her, he knew that this waf impossible; still more he remem- ul thought occurred to | it, Steam Laundry, ikable fri th.

Indications Point to the Success of Ex-Senator Platt. Republican primaries were held in every one of the 1,892 election districts of New York city last night to elect delegates to 2 mbly district conventions, which are, in turn, to choose the members of the republican county committee. Factional feeling between the followers of Thomas C. Platt and those of Willlam Brookfield ran strong in m of the districts, partic- ularly the dewn-town districts, and a heavy vote was polled. The Platt men went into the fight confident of victory, while their opponents believed themselves to be lead- ing a forlorn hope, and were, In conse- a >, not enthusiastic of success.
