D 3 ! HOUSE HE BUILT HER By E. L, DITHRIDGE. | “Yes," said the elder man, “you may | but only after you have complied with, 4 certain condition.” The other lcaned forward eagerly, hoping the condition would be within | his powers to perform. His glowed: his lips partcd his hands clasped, and his fingers twisted anx- [ iously, during the pause that ensued. Then the condition came, short, {orei- ble and abrupt: “First build her a house!” Well, it was a hard requirement at best, and almost an impossible one. Yet he made up his mind at once that he would comply with the con- dition. James Burton was a young engineer trying to make his fortune in the mines of Mexico. He had no money with which to start independently, so he had engaged as an assistant inthe employ of a large company operating near Mexico City. He had not been in the country six months, and during that period had grown to love the daughter of a wealthy ranch owner. | The ranchero had practically no English education himself, but had eyes | | l b DOLLY'S AUNT PRUDENGE By S.

An old maid, [ guess, and with peculiar ideas of her sort. “I'm going out there,” Frank had averred. At Suffolk he left his coach, almost colliding with a tall, pretty light-haired girl just in the act of boarding the provided a way for the education of his children in both English and Span- ish. His eldest daughter, Aurora, had attended a boarding school in Phila- delphia. Aurora was as sensible as she was bright. None of the fickle, Aflirty character of the Spanish race seemed to belong to her. Burton loved her, not merely be- cause she was captivating, but be- cause she combined those sterling qualities admired by every man of se- rious nature. He knew Aurora loved him, and all he wanted was the parental sanction Now he had obtained it, but with a difficult condition imposed. How could he build her a hon e was drawing only $120 per month. Enough, you say? Remcmber that this is the debased currency of Mo ico. So how was James DBurton to sup- port himself-on $120 a month aud | build a house ‘besides? You dou't know, and neither did he; but he de- termined to do it just the same. [ By means of many inquirics he had | satisfied himself that $250 Mexican was a safe estimate of the cost ol a three-room adobe house built <o as to be barely comfortable. Burton figured that the wages on, the foundation would cost him $§20, that the adobes would cost him $40, | and that he could get half the quan- tity delivered in March and the oth er half in April. Then he could get about $20 worth of work done each month until the house completed. As a site for her hou the brow of a little hill about a mile trom the reduction plant and about half a mile from the line of the com- pany's property. Then he started a man excavating, for he had decided to deviate from the Mexican custom and have a little cellar. Every evening he would trot out on horseback and take a look at the progress being made. He was her disappointed at the slow rate ol ad- vance, but couldn't blame the work- man for the cause of the trouble wus solf-evident. Right in the widdle of the hole stuck a point of rock formed in a perfect cone. The workman had tried to dig it out; but as he dug the rock seemed to grow, As he stood there musing on how much extra the rock would cost him, he kicked at it absent-mindcdly and e he selected | vindictively. The sun was just sctting, and its | rays struck squarely on t"» place where his boot had scraped off the earth from the stone. “My! That's a mighty bright sort of stone!” thought Burton to himself. “Guess I'll knock off a bit and see what it looks like inside.” * % The house he built her was not fin- lished till two years later; but it was located in the American section of the City of Mexico, instcad of out in the wilderness. It was built of cut stone instead of baked mud, and contained 30 rooms instead of three. Its lights were elec- tric instead of tallow. Its windows were trimmed with onyx, and its mir- rored halls with marble. Many an opal decked its dining room; for its hostess entertained with a lavish hand and was never called on to economize, One of these functions I was per- mitted to attend; and 1 heard her father say: “Burton, you've made a fine suc- | cess!” “1 owe it all to you,” he replicd “You made me attempt to build her a house; and t'was then I struck the mine.” No Use, There is a certuin Brooklyn who remains of the efficacy of rection at least “It ain't any ) fided to a member of “For a long time 1 have baby brother. 1 pray. but come.” “*You should continue to pray,” was the elder's advice. “There's no tell ing when vour wish may be fulfilled.” “l1 don't believe it's any use,™ per- sisted the youngster. “Here I have been praying for a brother for over a year, but he don't come Now the little girl across the street began praying for a brother only week be- fore last, and he came yesterdav— she got hers right o#!™ little girl in unconvinced in one di- prayer, use,” she lately con- her wanted a he don't family. | train. “Dolly!” “All a-b-o-a-rd!” Suffolk is a small town. Trains stop there for about one moment. Frank drew she natty suit case from the half-paralyzed fingers of the girl, seized her resolutely by the arm, and drew her away from the train. “Why—the very idea!” The maid flushed indignantly as the conductor shut the door of the vesti- bule, and the wheels beneath it began to turn. “Look what you have done, Frank Horton. You've made me miss my train.” “Undoubtedly.” The young six-foot- er's lips were compressed. "l want a little conversation with you.” “We have nothing to talk about.” The girl spoke coldly “Oh, but we have. Why is it, Dolly. that you have never wrote me?

[n three seconds wis doing just what Horion had sugeested and the youth was sitting heside her “And now,” Horton insisted, “vou must tell me three things: why you left Chicago so hastily, what you are doing here, and why you have never written me?"” “I shall do nothing of the kind,” an- grily denird the maid “But you will” Horton's tone was positive. “Anyway, [ have been taught never to write to a man until he hes written to me first.” flaw in the ar- Horton leoked his discust. “As if,” he parried, "I were possessod to some pyschic gift to tell me where you were.

Fate is against yvou and [ ingist upon the an- swer to my question The answer that you wouldn't give we in Chicago.” “My, how terrible it has become,” said Dolly mockingly, and then, more decidedly, and with a hint of anger, “who gave you the right to speak to me so, Mr. Frank Horton? I'll answer your question or mnot—just as I choose.” “But Dolly "—the man's voice was humble now-—"there isn't any reason at all in not answering.” He reached over and took one of her hands. “Why didn't you tell me that you were com- ing away, Dolly?” “I didn’t know, Frank. Really, boy, you are too impatient.” “But your answer.” insisted Horton. “You haven't given it to me—and I am walting.” Two starry eyes turned to analyze the man. “There are none so blind,” balf whispered a gentle voice, “as those who will not see.” 1 “You mean?" he demanded eagerly. | “I'm not going to tell you what 1 mean,” pouted the girl. “And to think [ that I ever imagined you to be smart.
