Andrea w.is priming hrrcnllco flounces n''sratrjr to a itroll pt tho nfllcKs, o temlbly to take unio itrnwn work to tlio much buret! wife of tlio manager, but well, Andrea was Ixith a roquette ond had a mimical lsugii by tho grace of (icd, for If those talents nr not lienveu tent It Is hnpuluss to attempt to graft theui. It was very warm and tho air was shim mering befuro Jimmy Avery's eyes ai ho came out uf tho cool du!t of tho big sdobo room and stood looking up tho sloisj An drea was coining down. There wns a great humming of yellow jackets around a heap of red tuuu(klti. Onco Jimmy Avery win Innocent, gocd and young. That ho was any of the three now wns doubtful. Yet he wns much younger than he looked, and ponslldy hts fneo wss more weak than evil. It wns still a hnmlMiino fare, though the fiery .Mexlrnn llcpiers had burnt It a dull rid. 1I was pulTy under his eyes, and his eyes went clouded. Anilrca's llnunce struck tho little Mood red pile of skins rotting In the inn. In a moment she wus the renter of the llerccly buzzing Insects, line stung her cm tho neck, and nho ran crying to tho secretary, wlmiiishe saw In front of thooflico rolling his cigarette nml staring up tho red clny roml at her. Tho yellow Jackets Went back to their feast, and the young secretary ltd In tlm peon woman, and placing her In his big leather rhalr she had never wit on a chair Isifore rubbed tho swollen bite on her round, brown throat with ammonia, north ing her tenderly, for Jimmy Avery was tender to nil women until they eroded Mm. Then his invagencss nnd brutality wiro such us to ninko a niero ordinary man who knew nothing of tenderness ttulid aghast. Anilrca's black eyes wero very full nnd lustrous with the Mexican sun in their dusky depths, and there was a dimple nt the corner of her poppy red mouth. "1 never sec you In letni," ho said to her. "Sometimes I go. Why do you never? 'Micro's lots of iuiisio and tho iisoo. This Is n lonely j luco for a pretty woman." Andrea hung her head and twisted her fingers together. Jimmy In snmo disgust at her stupidity signed for her to go, nnd settled himself back to the slumber that hnd been broken by tho clear vibrations of her pretty laugh. That eu'iilng Andrea sat on tho mud Hour, sullenly stirring tho olla (HHlrlda Mmmering over tho Hie of sticks In tho comer. It Is not good for one's temper to sit on a soft, leather chnlr In thoaftcrnunn nnil como homo to sit on a in mi floor, to listen to praises of olio's beauty there anil hero to the naked, brown bahy, crying and crying on Its heap of rags by the wall. When Llinpy appeared) In tho low door way, ho knew by tho back of Andrea's head there was a rtorm I renlng. Llinpy wus tho limpiador engine ('leaner and night watchman. He was also llinpy by nature, dragging one font heavily after him. Andrea cast a lis k of scorn upon him as he knelt by tho rags trying to quiet tho baby he was so black and so dirty. Ho had had smallpox, nnd each pit wns brimming with dirt. He was fairly coated, clothes and nil, with coal dust and grease. Ho had a wldo mouthed, friendly grin, nnd goodness shone from overy lino of Ms homely fnce. Tho men all loved Llinpy, and they said of him, "He's white Inside anyway." It was lifter tho scanty meal hsd been eaten thnt tho lowering clouds broke, Llinpy listened In patient amazement while the Spiinlsh rattled round his ears like hailstones on a tin roof. "Hut why do you want to go to Loon? The bahy Is here, anil 1 am here, aud" "You and tho baby!" And Androaerled and tora at her rcbozo with her sharp, whlto teeth. Sho used the same arguments that Kvo probably used. Sho was not feeling well, sho needed a change, and there was no so ciety and no amusement for her all worn on say the same, Indifferent languages per haps. When your wages aro$ll a month nnd corn Is 6 ,-cnts a pound, It Is hard halng n wlfo who pines for a change. I.lmpy put It to her fairly and squarely. Tlieru wero tho pigs at Marlll, where Ms brother was tending them. If sho went to l'on, tho pigs would boon short rations, and already tho corn doled out was not keeping pnro with tho appetites of tho unfortunate) swine. Andrea decided, as was to ho expected, against tho pigs. Faithful, honest Llinpy fullered when ho thought of them, for tho pigs wero tho roroof Ms heart. Hut An drea was his (iod. S.) let tho pigs st.inc Tho day Andrea went to Loon In tho old diligence was an eventful ono. Tho women gathered In llttlo groups nnd put tin lr heads together, whispering of her warily, for Andrea's temper was notable. Sho was a burro, they said, and her mother was a burro, and her grandmother, and also wero they pigs to tho third and fourth genera tion. And their wrath had foundation, for when In tho memory i f man had a peon woman traveled to Iieon bycriach A woman with fis t. '1 hero were much flut tering of rcbozo and silvery chiming of laughter, and at lust the old coach rumbled nwuy down tho winding mountain road, uud out of tho radiant blue air rippled A n drcn's laugh. 'J hat night nt dinner Mrs. Orton l.x.kts! tho young secretary full between the eves uf,..s in.r wont and sold very softly: "I saw thnt prutty Andrea starting off on tho coach today. Uld you ever notice her, Mr. j Avery." I Jimmy helped himself to soma vile com pound or other from the big silver dish tho , mi.zowus holding. -Yes that Is, no wl.h h cno do you meanS' "1 tnke very little stis k In that wifo of tho night watchman's," said tho manager, n pniiihroiis, heavy footed man, with a larg", benevolent mannir, very trying to soiiio people's nerves. "I was witness to a must unijctherly action on her part" Jimmy lo kid bored. What wero the pcludo to hlm .-o ho paid scant attention while Mr. Orton spun a wotful yarn of Andrea's r.irelissiy drulng the baly auir.ng the burn us they came Into the ,,Mrrow defile sUivo the rump, laden with t'.o I' r.g leather saiksof oro. How the I a by crap''!, If It ever did, was more than Jlnn.y could have told you. Hut he ,uld Isve-wd ytl.at Beatrice Orf.n h id a half o'pei.' d sc.irlct hiniscus In her blond '"wonderful stories of Andrea's doings In UnjD were wnft-d back to the cmp-that , O si.- h e! been sc-i n re. rtt',"ii In her -: r; that s! b-.d p.iw tad the pigs. Once an Inert dlblo t.ile came, brought apparent ly ! y iht birds of the air. It was that An il rr i had been seen walking one evnlng lu tl e jardln nrm in arm with a"grlngo." Hut It was siidly true s.ie had pawned the pigs. Pawned Jhe gs Th,i Interest aud weekly rations if corn were moro thmi Llinpy could pay. l.i think of losing those Iwautlful porkers. It wns luiirned one day, to tho lnteno fteitenient of the camp, that Llmpy was routetnpl.itlng n l ath, which, of course, pHrtetubd, In the minds of the gossips, a visit to Leon, and. It was hoped, a dress ing dow n of Amirr.i. Tho inoiiu ntoiis nlT.ilr was over, tier trudls had washi'd his cl 'thes while It was In progress and a I rand new Llinpy, clothed, but hardly In Ids right mind, set forth for lioon. lie felt It glory and ex pense enough for Andrea to rldo them, and so had chcerf illy made ready to walk, for It Is but i'0 kilometers nnd downhill all the way. Hut coming t ack Is another talo. So it was a question whether It was tho long I uphill pull the next ti ! lit that had graven l.impy's fare with thom lines of pain. Umt afternoon, having received their monthly pay, tho men went deep lu a gatuo of uionte, slttlna on the ground In front i f l.impy's mud hut. Llmpy Idmst'lf was lying i n hts stomach wntchlng with list less rrs. Suddenly ho beard over Ms head Andrea's happy laugh and tho bahy was p1uni-.'d down on his back. Ho arose and handed the baby back, with ns much corn as his gm d, honest, ugly faco could show. She had come for money, which, to her surprise, l.luipy was unwilling to give. True, things had been a llttlo awkward when be paid the unexpected visit to U'oll, but that was bis own fault If ho had sent word he was coming, everything would have been agns'ahlo. Sho was hardly pre pared for l.ln py's attitude. Ho was done with her. lb, would take tho baby, and she must go mwiy, and not nno centavo should she have. AmlriniUd not despair. It was some thing to have tho bahy off her hands, nnd she was not roiintlngenllrely upon Llmpy. A I Ig golden moon was slowly sailing from Ih hind a black peak when the secru tary, v ho wns dressing for dinner, heard a knock at the door. Ho was astonished and unnoyed on answering to find Andrwi. Ho stepped out with her in the elsin shadow of a mesitiltu tree. Flattering himself on making short work of her, ho turned, with the last harsh sentence on his lips, to look straiKht into Hentrlco Orton 's face. "Was there ever such luck!'" ho groaned as he closed the door. "What was I sny Inn'.' Something about my salary would iMt permit of my siipsrtlng halt tho peon women of Mexico. Hood (iod 1 And what niiide inn say she had moro now than tlm others!1 Tho only woman on earth I could ever cure for to hear that!" If Jimmy had said tho only womnn on earth ho ever tried to flirt with and failed, he would have boon liinrer the mark. On coming to l.a Ksperaiua ho had noted with Interest the disparity In tho ages of the manager and Lis wife. Hut sho had treat ed hi in with the most discouraging coolness and kindness. The nine, illicit was flooding tho pnllo nnd corral, leaving tho portales in deep shadow. Dinner wns over, nnd the two men had been smoking their clgnrs under the jHirtales, but now Mr. Orton had fallen asleep In tho broad Mexican hammock hung In the jasmluo nrlmr. Mrs. Orton had token Jimmy's hat, of a fashion unknown to tho ramp Is-foro his arrival, and tripping down to the arbor placed It over her slumbering lord's face, for fear, sho explained to Jimmy, a stray moonbeam might shlno In his faco and make Mm loco. Them wus distinct co quetry In her glance and laugh. Hope wns beginning to revive a trlllc In Mr. Avery's bosom. Ho had thrown away his cigar, nnd wns considering, with liml lleo aforethought, the whlto hand resting so temptingly near when thero was heard tho sound of an excited voice, Mrs. Orton went to meet the tall, whlto figure which appeared In the palm lined cor ridor. A sentence or two werflexchangi d, n bit of which Jimmy caught Then Mrs. Orton pointed toward the arbor at the far end of tho pntio, nnd Andrea, with set face, ran down tho long puth leading to It. "Confound It all. What does sho think to gain by having mo discharged, with old Orton sueh a prig, of course" Thero was a flutter of laces lioforo Mm, round arms about him and a soft mouth on his. W as tho world coming to an endf Hoatrlco Orion's voice was saying: "You do lovn mef Oh, say you do!-' "Why, I ndore yoiil" And ho threw his arm about her, but ho kept an anxious eyo upon tho arlxir, and his arm grow limp In splto of himself. "I told her you wero In tho hammock. Oh, Jimmy, sho has it long, sharp knlfol Do you think she will kill hlinf" she whis pered. Jimmy slusik her off as ho would a scor pion. "Orton! Orton!" ho called loudly as ho rose to bis bi t. " l'or (iod's sake, wako up, Orton I' ' Mr. Orton threw the sisrutiiry's but from his face, and with a sense of being somewhat rudely disturbed sat up in tho hammock. Over him bent a wild eyed woman. Mr. Orion, being tho most prosalo of men, noted nothing wrong, fulling utuirly to see tho sinister looking knife half con cealed by tho folds of her rohoio. My good creature," bo srild testily, 'modulate your voire when you call Inc. I was not asleep merely reflecting." Then this relic live gentleman rolled out of the hammock and fiddled out In the moonlight. Jimmy Avery wns racing for llfodown between tho red roues, and Mrs. Orton sat shivering and sobbing under the fortales. ' 'It's nothing, Avery," culled Mr. orton Is i, evidently, "rjome mm of the servants thought 1 was asleep. I must say she ha a voice like a fog horn." ,....i Is he who pcrceivuth nothing, for his days shall end III jicnco.
