But no! It ts not for the General Paloon to think of beauty. It is my country that claims my devotion.” At the corner of Broadway and the Little Rialto the General be came Involved. The street cars be | wildered him, and the fender of one jupset® him against a pushoart laden with oranges. A cab driver mixsed him @n inch with a hub, and poured barbarous execrations upon his head. He serambled to the sidewajk and skipped again in terror when the whistle of a peanut-roaster puffed a | hot scream into bis ear, “"Valgame | Dies! What devil's city in this?® As the General uttered out of the streams of passers like a wounded snipe, he was marked simultaneous ly as game by two hunters. Ono was “Bully” McGuire, whose system of spot required the use of a strong arm-and the niisuse of an eight inch piecd of lead pipe. The other Nim rod of the asphalt was “Spider” Kelley, a sporteman with more re fined methods In pouncing upon their selfevt dent prey, Mr. Kelley was a shade the quicker. His elbow fended accur ately the onslaught of Mr, McGuire. “G'want! he commanded harshly ‘I saw it fret." MeGuire slunk away, awed by superior Intelligence “Pardon me,” said Mr. Kelley, to the General, “but you got balled up in the shuffle, didn't you? Let me asaist you.” He picked up the Gen eral’s hat and brushed the dust from tm The ways of Mr. Kelley could not but succeed, The General, be wildered and dismayed by the re sounding streets, welcomed his de liverer as a caballero with a most disinterested heart. “I have a desire,” gaid the General, “to return to the hotel of O'Brien, in which I am stop, Caramba! senor, there is a loudness and rapidness of going and coming in the city of this Nueva York.” Mr. Kelley's politeness would not suffer the distinguished Colombian to brave the dangers of the return unaccompanied. At the door of the Hotel Espanol they paused. A little lower down on the opposite side of the street shone the modest illum inated sign of El Refugio. Mr. Kelley, to whom few streets were unfamillar, knew the place exteriorly as a “Dago joint.” Mr. Kelley classed under the two heads of “Dagoes” and Frenchmen He propésed to the General that they repair thither and substantiate their acquaintance with a liquid foundation. An hour later found General Fal con and Mr. Kelley seated at a table in the conspirators’ corner of El! Refugio. Bottles and giamen were between them. For the tenth time the General confided the secret of his mission to the Estados Unidos He was here, he declared, to pur chase arms—2,000 stands of Win chester rifles—for the Colombian revotutionists, He had drafts in his pocket drawn by the Bank on its New York correspond ent for $25,000. At other other revolutionista were shouting their political secrets to their fellow plotters; but none was as loud as the General. He pounded the table, he hallooed for some wine; he roared to his friend that his errand was a secret one, and not to be hinted at to a living soul. Mr. Kelley himself was sUrred to sympathetic enthust asm. He grasped the © General's hand across the table, “Monseer,” he said earnestly. “I don’t know where this country of yours is, but I'm for it. I guess it must be a branch of the United States, tho, for the poetry guys and the schoolmarms call us Columbia, too, sometimes. It's a lucky thing for you that you butted into me to night.

In the meantime, monseer, you keep them drafts tight in your inside pocket. I'll call for you tomorrow, and take you to see him. Say! that ain't the District of Columbia you're talking about, i# it?” concluded Mr. Kelley, with a sudden quaim. “You can't capture that with no 2,000 guns—it's been tried with more.” “No, no, no!” explained the Gen eral. “It is the Republic of Colom bia- is a gr-reat republic on the top side of America of the South.
