Fear lashed him into swift notion ; the lazy length of his body responded to the new appeal, and at sunset he found himself high on a mountain peak, looking down into deep Inshaded wait. canyons wliwe the night lay stars were trembling Faint, saw only the Valencio In the sky, but shadows, creeping slowly up the mountainside. He could not stop for the night; night or day Luis was sure to follow him. Again he cursed the luck that had led him past Magdalenas garden had pleased gate the night that it to a wandersmiles her Tonla to give had He blindly gone musician. ing down the road, nursing his sullen Jealousy, until at Magdalenas gate he laugh, gay and had hear a silver-tone! What was God like sweet, tinkling tear-whit- e d that? stood, trembling in every A silver tinkle, refiber. cowardly sounding among the rocks, had seemed so near that he could have sworn that Magdalena herself had laughed. But Magdalena was dead lying back there with the life gone out of her torn Valencio white breast. He cast one terrified glance behind ; the road was clear. The sound had seemed to come from a point just ahead of him, where the trail wound up over a head of ragged rocks. In burning haste he pressed on. the chill of the shock changed to a fever of terror. He must get away, down into the wide world beyond the mountains ; the wide world that all his life he had been too lazy to desire. Too lazy. It was this that had made him fix upon Magdalena as an easy prize. She was pretty, prettier far than any of the others, and so young that she knew no better than to glory in her conquest of him. To have wrested him away from the more assured charms of the older woman had seemed to her a triumph indeed. And when Tonia had passed them chatting at the garden gate Magdalena had laughed for very joy had laughed like like shaken, Agajn Valencio paused, a shrub to thorny clinging trembling, for support. Again that silver tinkle had rung out, and was echoing faintly and sweetly in the vast silence of the mountain heights. He sank weakly down to the earth. What devils magic was this? No one was near; no one could be; and yet that sound .was like nothing else in the world but Magda tones more clear, (lie then laugh, llitv ever. more metallic than Magdalena. I die! he gasped, desperately. he Die! rang the echo, and tho was sobbing aloud he could hear che tinkle that came with the response. Then in a frenzy of madness he, too, laughed, and the silver tones blended with his as they had on nights too well remembered. He sang, and Magdalenas silver notes paid tribute to the Crazy tones as they had to his more artful music. Madly lie stumbled wildalong, crying, singing, shouting ly, and laughing in a crazy hysteria, evbut the silver laugh was with his outnot did haste his and ery echo run it. Suddenly he stumbled, fell, and plunged into a gully. Crying to with the fatigue he pulled himself up of faint in the and light trail again, dawn he looked over a steep precipice, a scar in the rock face of the mountain. But even as he looked the silver laughter came nearer; sounded at his very shoulder. With a mad shriek he plunged down the precipice into the rock heap at the foot of the mountain scar. There was a faint, answering cry of fear, and half a dozen stones slid down from the trail as Chiquita, her silver bells jangling, paused at the edge of the precipice, and looked with mild eyes at the shapeless heap below. inters 011 will) an(i Proof Thai Pygmy Men Once Lived in Britain British isles traces of the pygmies are to be found. fled from the tall men, and survived after their fellows had been exterminated on the mainland.
