The reason given for his sudden departure is that he did not particularly par-ticularly care to stand trial for adultery after such a termin ition of tho preliminary cxaminaiio i.

There was but one houe in night, an adobe 400 yards or less froni the river. In among'the willows by the river was a Hniall, canvas-covend wagon. Two thin broncos were hobbled near by, and a man was gathering sticks for a fire. He wondered if it would be worth bis while to make the aeqmiiirtnnce of the "grearrs" who undoubtedly inhabited it. They might offer him'hospitalitv for the night; but. he had learned by experience, that Mexican hospitality usually implies dirt, and he disliked dirt. It was a question in his mind whether a blanket under the wagon would not be preferable. And while he debated the flat board door of the adobe ppened. and a woman came out. She was slender, tlicrefore she was young so reasoned the man, who knew Mexicans. Mex-icans. More than that he could not see. After a time she- went back into the house, nnd he fell to gathering sticks. When the moon rose, and he, having finished his supper, was sitting beside the dying eampfire, peacefully smoking, the low willows parted, and the girl-of the adobe stood near him. "Ah! I beg jour pardon, senor; 1 knew note zat you w ear hier," she eried, starting back. "It gives me much pleasure to see you. Will you not sit here with me?" He spread a blanket on the ground near the bright- coals, and motioned to her, with a deep bow, to be seated. She took her place, and he, stretching himself him-self at her feet, leaning upon one elbow, offered her a cigarette. Her name, it transpired very soon, was Anita Anita Manara; his, be told her, was Richard Lovell. They fell a-talking, a-talking, and he did what wus expected of him made desperate love instantly; while she did what he had expected her to do, responded with only enough reserve re-serve to lceej) up the illusion of flirtation. flirta-tion. Here, in the half tropic southwest, south-west, with an unw ise child of 10, of an nmorous rate, the rather iax code of honor of Richard Ixweil fell from h:ni. She told him about her life. "I was born hier," she said, "een zat house. Hut w'en I twelf years am, I to San Diego go to school, an' zere I Eeng-lish Eeng-lish learn. V spe,ik note much Eeng-lish Eeng-lish now-, for zat I have only my inuzzer an' my bruzzer. who zey speake but-Spanish; but-Spanish; an' Carlos be can Eenglish speake, but he like cet note." "Who is Carlos, sweetheart?" "He ccs my sweetheart, w'at I to marry him am." "Where is lie?" The young man drew a little away and sat erect. "lie ees at ze mines in t'oucepcion. lie haf one mine for him, an' he weel le son-.e time reech. He come to see me zc Sunday. Do you note Spanish spetike talk, sure?" "Xo. Just a few words. And where is your brother?" "He ecu z'.h night far away. He w eel to -morrow weeth Carlos come back." Lovell understood. He resumed gradually grad-ually his posture of adoration. When the cigarettes were finished, he htdd her hands, and Tn. time he put his arm about her and kissed her, and forgot all the' maxims of wisdom that had ever been taught to him. "What is that ring?" he asked, turning turn-ing nnd toying with the only one she wore. "Eet ees Carlos. He geef eet to me. Weel you see?" She drew it off. "EeJ you weel one match light." He struck a wax one and held it to the ring. It was an opal set in silver end caned in the shape of a skull. Lovell knew enough of stone to understand the difficulty of cutting an opah He knew the skill u.nd patience it mut require, re-quire, to shape it like this one. There whs probably not another like it in the world; certainly he bad never seen it, if there were. In the flickering light it gleamed and sparkled blue, and red, and yellow fires, and the jaws seemed to cont6rt thejnselves into a grin. "How wonderful," be ejaculated. "Yes," answered Anita. He was seized with a wild desire to obtain ob-tain it, and he played boldly for it. "Do you love me, Anita, sw eetheart, beautiful?" beauti-ful?" he whispered, taking her face in his hands and looking into her eyes. She uttered a faint but sincere "Yes." He kissed her again, not once, but many 'times. "If you love me, Anita, you should give me the ring to remem-. ber you by u keepsake, as we call iU" CATHARTIC ALL DRUGGISTS . ...MMrfMMllMll flMMll AM flat.

' "Carlos, he tell me zat eet ee very w'at you say? note nice lucky." "Then why did he give it to you?" "He say eet ees for a man, note for n woman, zat ct e.ti like zat." "I expect Carlos wanted to keep you from giving it away." "No. He say zat one man w'at keep eet for fife years, be die sure." "I am not afraid. 1 would be glad to die to have your ring for even a year." "No. Geef eet back to me." "Then you do not hove me," he said, dejectedly. "You are like all women, you are glad to break a man's heart." "No, no. I lofe. you. You can keep eet. 1 weel tell Carlos I loose eet." At the moment her mother called to her from the ndobe. She threw her plump arms about the American's neck aud iid a clinging good-by, as if her heart were 'sadly w rung. And for the time being she was in desperate earnest. earn-est. At daybreak he saw two horsemen, both Mexicans, ride up to the house. He guessed that they were the men Manara and Carlos; and he hitched up the team quickly and went, in a fashion fash-ion that suggested flight, taking the ring with him. ' Now it happened as such things will happen in the now west that Carlos Valera grew very rich within a few months and went to live in San Diego with his wife, and that they were much courted and sought after, for Valera was generous and well-mannered and not ill-looking, and Senora Valera was bewitching, be-witching, a type, more than locally famous fa-mous for her beauty, and possessed of a charm that is peculiar to w omen of her race who have learned the usages of the world. They kept open house, in the grand way of the wealthy Spanish-Americans Spanish-Americans of not so long ago. Never n day passed that more than one total stranger was not entertained. Thus it came about that, upon a f pring evening mine years after her marriage, Senora Valera greeted with lovely ease and grace a guest whom her husband brought home w ith him, a Mr. Richard Lovell, of Los Angeles. Rut as she greeted greet-ed him she glanced clown at his hands nnd saw that he wore the opal skull. She turned to her husbond and said in English that was perfect now, though made dainty by a slight lisp: "Carlos, dear, will you see if I left my opal-aud-diamond pin on my dressing stand'.' I think I took it out to wear, and forgot for-got it. I don't want it to get lost like that other opal you gave me before we were married. I'm afraid they are really unlucky stones; don'tyou think so, Mr. Lovell? Would you mind going for it, Carlos?" Valera left the room. "Mr. Lovell, take off that ring while you are here," she said, calmly. "I have never taken, it off. And I'm sorry thait I can't do so now." "If Mr. Valera sees it, he will be apt to kill you as not. He is very jealous." "I fancy he has good reason." "Kindly keep your opinions where such unpleasant ones properly belong in your own consciousness. You will be wise to do as I say, and to be quick. Do you know that the five years Is up to-night ?" "1 doubt that sort of superstition. As I told you before, I'm not afraid. Perhaps Per-haps you are, though? It is natural you should be. I will tell ;vou what 1 will do. I'll take the ring und put it in my pocket"he slipped it off and held it between bis thumb and finger "if you will kiss me again as you did on that night." "I will notJ You would have forgotten forgot-ten that sillfness of mine by now, if you had been fortunate enough to be a gentleman." "Never! not all those caresses and protestations. Come, kiss me again, and I'll hide the ring." "No. Mr. Valera will finish hunting for a pin that isn't there in a moment more, and if he conies back it may go ill with you it certainly will if he sees the ring." "Then kiss me." "I will not. Re quick. I hear him coming. Quick!" "Kiss me. You'd better, for your own sake." "No." "Then doa't." - - "Oh! hide that ring do, for me." "Kiss me." "Well, kiss me, then." He put his hands on her shoulders and bent his head. He did not 6ee Valera step Into the French window, but he knew tha the woman pulled away from him with a loud "How dnre you!" and a stream: "Carlos, Carlos, help me!" And then he felt something sharp driven deep between the shoulders, and as he fell backward Senora Valera grasped at the ring and caught it from his hand. She put her own hand to Ler throat in the accepted fashion of the conventional faint, and as the did so, dropped the jewel into the bosom of her gown. Then she lost conwejous-neea. conwejous-neea. The story h told, her husband was one of unprovoked impertinence on the part of an utter stranger, a man he had never seen before, and the Rtory he told the world was much the same, but slightly embellished.

It excused the murder mur-der without any great-difficulty, and 'm was something-of m feather in the cap of the beautiful Mexican. for this wa In the early days. . - - Senora Valera ground the opal skull to bits with a heavy stone, nnd kept the chips in a locket, until one day she found an excuse to drive to the. cemetery cem-etery and scatter them upon Lovell's grave.
