"Come in and smoke, C. M." Claude entered. Ned wondered what this midnight visit meant. He looked at Claude with a smile, and Claude, knocking the ashes from his cigar Into a little blue vase, said: "Ned, I told you about my being at Hutgers for three months und never getting hack. Hut I didn't tell you all." "No, I don't think you did." "There was a-- a girl there." "Ah, no man ever does tell all about himself and a woman, does he?" isn't so easy to tell." "Nothing about one's life and a woman ever is," Ned answered, as one deeply experienced in the" world and women. "Why, If I tried to explain to myself, let alone you, what earthly attraction I ever found In Dorothy I'd just stampede." "Hut this is different It'll probably do me good to talk it out and be done with It. Hy the way it isn't knowu in Peace Valley." ' Ned nodded, understanding. "There was a young servant girl In the house where I was hoarding. Now, this girl well, an uncle of hers turned up one day with a pile of money, but he said every girl should have a husband. The girl was a regular terror for hating the men. I didn't blame her, being waitress and chambermaid at our hoarding house was enough to sour any woman on young men. "To make a long story short, the uncle was dying and he'd had au awful time finding the girl. She was the last of his family. Yet he said he wouldn't leave her a cent of his money unless she got married. She hadn't a fellow. His doctor told her the old man was getting low and there wasu't much time. He'd made a will und everything. It was quite a pile, and she got it all, providing she married before he died. She was in an awful stew about it. She hadn't told anyone in the house yet. I doubt if she'd told nie If It hadn't just happened so. You see, she kinda trusted me and she wanted that money bad. Wanted to make herself Into a lady. She had great Ideas, man. This was so unlike Claude's usual face and greeting that lie was pu.zled. Claude stopped him. Don't mind th way I look und act tonight I've got something on my mind.

I'd come home ready to kill myself because there was the telegram from Mom. I hadn't got the money to get home to Pop, and Mom said lie was dying. "Well, there she was fixing up my room. She always left my room to the last because she'd got to know I'd never make the row the others did or tell on her. 1 guess she kinda liked me. She was the only person I had to talk to, so I blurted out my troubles. She thought a moment and then she came out with hers. She hated men and didn't want to get married, or so she said ami I well, I didn't cart what I did. Just so that I could get home, in time, to Pop." lie paused, glanced at Ned, then took up his confession. "Well, the upshot of it was, I couldn't borrow tlw money from any of the boys. I went with her to n country Justice of the peace, who didn't know either'of us, and we got married. I bad promised that for tive hundred dollars I'd do It, and never trouble her again.

The great empire of Spain tho most extensive that up to that time had existed was based chiefly on a Soon after Columbus papal bulL sailed west to America and Vaseo da Guma sailed east Into the Indian ocean, the bull was issued dividing the world approximately south of the Pillars of Hercules into two realms, and giving Portugal a monopoly of exploration to the East and Spain a monopoly to the West. The dividing line was fixed 37 degrees "west and south" of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands, so that it ran Just east of the West Indies and roughly cut Brazil from the South American continent. All the rest of the new world was left vaguely to Spain. Spanish explorers and adventurers poured westward on the heels of Columbus, and had soon staked out for Spain all of the West Indies, most of South America, and large areas In the southern part of North America. The first settlement was established at the end of the Fifteenth century in Hispaniola, the present island of Santo Domingo. Then In the first decade of the Sixteenth century settlements were started or attempted in rapid succession In Jamaica. Porto Rico and Cuba. Such widely separated regions as the Isthmus of Panama, Florida, were and the coast of Argentina reached in 1313.

This became the only considerable part of the Spanish colonial world outside tho Americas. In the meantime Spanish power was growing rapidly In the new world. The conquest of Mexico began in 151!). Panama City was founded the same year and became a starting point for expeditions north and south along the shores of the Pacific. Peru was Invaded In l.".'!2 and Chile came at least partly under control soon after. The California coast was explored in 1542 and land expeditions went about the same time Into regions that are now New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and even Colorado.

Florida shows little effect of her former Spanish ownership save In a few architectural touches and a few geographic names. Texas, too, was lost to Spain, but the effects there are greater; and in many a community near the Rio Grande the Spanish language Is almost as necessary as the English. In Arizona and California, once under Spanish Influences, the situation is much like that in Texas. But one American state stands on a different footing. New Mexico has barely passed the point nt which Its English-speakinInfluences weigh more heavily than its Spanish factors.
