General Gucrro was ono of those pow erful athletes who do not allow them selves to bo overcome easily. His re volted pride restored his expiring cour age; and since an implacable warfare was declared against him, he sworo that he would fight to the. end, whatever the con sequences for him might be. Moreover, two months had elapsed since It Is Ills arrival in Mexico, and his enemy had not revealed his presence by one of those "What do you mean, my dear Helena? terrible blows which burst like a clap of Woes tho letter to which you refer Inter- I tnuntier abovo his head. est me?"

The general so soon as he was settled in the capital of Mexico, organized a band of highly paid spies, who had orders to be constantly on watch, and Inform him of alentiue's arrival. Seven or eight days had elapsed. Gen. Guerrero, after a long conversation with Col. Don Jaime Lupo, Don SIrven nnd two or three others of his most faithful partisans a conversation In which the final arrangements were made for the pro- nunciamento which was to be attempted immediately gave audience to two of his spies, who assured him that the person whose movements they were ordered to watch had not yet arrived in Mexico. hen the hour for going to the the- n countryman of ours who takes the greatest interest in you." -'That Is strange," said Dona Anita, pausing. "I never knew but one French' man, and I have told you the sad story vhlch was the cause of all the misfor tunes that overwhelmed me. Who can this gentleman be who takes so lively an interest in me do you know him?" very slightly, the young lady an swered, with a blush, "but sufficiently to be able to assure you that he possesses a noble heart. He does not know you personally; but," she added, as she drew a letter from her bosom, "shall I read a passage In my brother's letter which re fers to you and him?" "Pray read It, my dear Helena, 'Listen, then. 'Valentine begs me, dear sister, to ask you to tell your friend that the confessor she asked for will come to the convent this very day. Dona Anita must arm herself with courage, for she ater arrived, the general prepared to bo will learn to-day some news possessing present at an extraordinary performance, immense Importance.' This is under- but at the moment when he was about to lined," the young lady added, pointing to give orders for his carriage, the door of the sentence with the tip of her rosy the room, in which ho was sitting, opened. finger. That Is strange," Dona Anita mur mured. "Alas! what news can I learn?" "Who knows?" said her young com panion. " 'Before all, Dona Anita must be prudent; and however extraordinary what she hears may appear to her, she must be careful to conceal the effect pro duced by this revelation, for she must uot forget that if she has devoted friends, she Is closely watched by all-powerful enemies, and the slightest imprudence would hopelessly neutralize all efforts.' The rest," the maiden added, with a smile, "only relates to myself." At this moment the lay sister, who had already Informed the Mother Superior oi the arrival of Don Seraplo de la Ron da, appeared. Senorita," she said, addressing Dona Helena, "our holy mother abbess wishes to speak to you both, without delay, She Is waiting for you in her private cell la the company of a holy Franciscan unoak. They followed the lay sister, who led them to the Mother Superior's cell, and 'discreetly withdrew on reaching the door. "Come, my child," she said, as she "held out her arms to Dona Anita; "come and thank heaven who has deigned to iperform a miracle on your behalf.' The maiden stopped through involun- itary emotion, and looked wildly around tier. At a sign from the abbess the monk rose, and throwing back bis hood at the same time as he fell on bis knees be fore, the maiden, be said to her in a voice faltering with emotion ; "Anita, do you recognize me?' At the sound of this voice, whose sym pathetic notes made all the fibers of her heart vibrate, the maiden suddenly drew herself back, tottered and fell, as she - frantically shrieked out: "Martial! oh, Martial!" A. sob burst from her overcharged bosom, and she burst into tears. She was saved, since the immense joy she had so suddenly experienced had not killed her. The Tigrero, as weak as the woman he loved, could only find tears to express all his feelings. "Anita," he cried, "I have found you again at last; no human power shall sep arate us again." "Never, never!" she murmured, as she let her head fall on the young man's shoulder; "Martial, my beloved Martial, protect me, save me !" ' "Oh, yes, I will save you ; angel of my life," ho exclaimed, looking up defiantly. "Is that the prufience you promised me?" the abbess said, interposing. "Re member the perils of every description that surround you, and the implacable foes who have sworn your destruction; lock up in your heart these feelings which, if revealed before one of the countless eples who watch you, would cause your death and that, perhaps, of the poor girl you love." "Thank you, madam," the Tigrero re plied; "thank you for having reminded me of the part I must play for a few days longer. If I forget it for a few seconds, subdued by the passion that de vours my heart, I will henceforth adhere to It carefully. Do not fear lest I should imperil the happiness that is preparing for me; no, I will restrain my feelings and let myself be guided by the counsel of the sincere friends to whom I owe the moments of ineffable happiness I am now enjoying." "I now understand," Dona Anita ex claimed, "the mysterious bints given me, and a footman appeared on the threshold, with a respectful bow. hat do you want?" the general asked. excellency," tho valet replied, "a caballero desires a few minutes' conver sation with you." At this hour," the general said. look Ing at the clock, "impossible ; anyone you know, Isidro?" So, excellency ; he Is a cabellero whom I have not yet had the honor of seeing in the house. Tlum," said the general', shaking his head thoughtfully, "Is he a gentleman?' That I can assure your excellency; he told me he had a most important com' munication to make." In the general's present position, as head of a conspiracy on the point of breaking out, no detail must be neglected, no communication despised, so, after re flecting a little, he continued 'lou ought to have told the gentle man that I could not receive him so late, and that be bad better call again to morrow. "I told him so, excellency." "And he insisted?" "Several times, excellency." Well, do you know his name, at least?" When I asked the caballero for It, he said It was useless, as you would not know it." "What a strange person," the general muttered to himself; very good," he then added aloud, "lead the gentleman to the small mirror room, and I will be with him immediately. with an enemy so well Informed?" "Let us for tho present," Valentine went on, still calmly and coldly, "leavo this conspiracy, to which we will revert presently, and pass to a more Interesting subject. I believe, Senor Don Sebastian, you have a ward of tho name of Dona Anita de Torres?" Tho general started, but remained si lent. "Now," continued Valentine, "In con sequence of a frightful catastrophe, this young lady became Insane. Hut that docs not prevent you from insisting on marrying her. In contempt of all law, divine and human, for the simple reason that she is enormously rich. It Is true that the young lady docs not love you, and never did love you; It Is also truo that her father Intended her for another, and that other you insist on declaring to be dead, although he Is alive. Unfortu nately, ono of my Intimate friends, of whom you probably nevor heard, Senor Don Seraplo do la Ronda, has heard this affair alluded to. I will tell you confi dentially that Don Seraplo Is greatly re spected, and has very considerable power. Don Seraplo, I know not why, takes an interest in Dona Anita, and has made up his mind, whether you like It or not, to marry her to the man she loves." "The villain Is dead," tho general ex claimed, furiously. "lou know to the contrary, Senor Valentine answered, "but to remove any doubts you might still happen to have. I will give you the proof. Don Martial," he said aloud, "come in, pray, and tell Gen. Guerrero yourself that you aro not dead." "Oh!" the general muttered furiously, "this man Is a demon." At this moment tho door opened and a now personage entered the room. (To be continued.) BACON AND EGGS A FAVOMTE. CHAPTER XVIII. The mirror room was an immense apartment, only separated from the cov ered gallery by two anterooms. It was furnished with princely luxury, and It was here that the general gave those banquets which are still talked about in the high Mexican circles. This room, merely lighted by two lamps standing on a console, was at this moment plunged into a semi-obscurity, when com pared with the other apartments In the mansion, which were full of lights. A gentleman dressed In full black, and with the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor carelessly knotted in a buttonhole of his coat, was leaning his elbows on the console where the lamps stood, and seemed so lost in thought that when the general entered the room the sound of his steps, half subdued by the petates, did not reach the visitor's ears and he did not turn to receive him. Don Sebastian, af ter closing the door behind him, walked toward his visitor, attempting to recog nize him. "Don Valentine!" he said. "Myself, General," replied the visitor. with an almost imperceptible smile and a profound bow. "Pray sit down. May I offer you any refreshments?" "I will not abuse your patience, Gen eral," said Valentine. "I have merely come to propose a bargain." "A bargain?" Don Sebastian exclaim ed with surprise, "I do not understand you." "Allow me, in the first place, to ex plain to you what our position to each other is." "Go on, senor," the general remarked. with a smile. In two words, this Is your position.

"Somo eoven or eight yenra ago I rode over theflo same rangea and found tho bunch graes practically nil gono in manv nlocos. Thin condition could be observed for miles nnd miles as the ranges wero ridden ovor. Recently I was very much astonished is passing through thoee Banie regions to find that thousands of acres had boon fonced, while equally largo tracts wore not fencod, but wore held m summer range by sheopmon who practically controlled them. I observed that these ranges, bate several yearn ago, were, at the timo of my visit, coverod with a luxur ianfc growth of bunoh grass, standing horn eighteen to thirty Indies high, in places tho gross was so heavy that it could not bo mowed for hay. I was also much surprised to soo that in places that had boon protpctod for a less numbor of years, tho heavy bunches of grass wero scattered, and between the big bunches, bunches from two to three years old wero well started. It was very easy to pick out a bunch of two-year-old grass from among n num ber of tho oldor bunches. In looking into thois question I discovered how it was that these ranges had boon re-stroked. "Tho sheep aro kept on theso winter ranges from tho tlmo they come out ol the mountains In tho fall, during Sep tember and early October, until after lambing, and a short time tho follow ing spring. Early in the spring the sheep eat tho young, tender bunch grass, but tho sheep are well ecattorod (a good herder nearly always keeps his sheep scattered) the bunch grass as it gets older becomes tougher, and the sheep do not like it so well. By the lattor part of April and early in May, tho sheep prefer tho many weeds, espe cially sunflowers, never touching bunch grass at all. Many, many times dur ing my trips through these counties, I Baw bands of from fifteen to twenty five hundred sheep grazing in bunch grass from ono foot to eighteen inchet high and novor touching it. They were picking out the little weeds in between the bunches of grass, and wherever thero were arcaa of sunflowers, they would cat tho flowers perfectly clean wherever thoy went. "From the first to tho fifteenth of June the sheep aro taken into the mountains and kept until the latter part of September. Now when tho sheep aro brought back in Septeinbor, the bunch grass has needed, the seed being scattered over tho ground. The fall rains seem to soften tho bunch grass, making it tender bo that the Bheop eat it greedily. In this way, by eating tho early shoots before the grass goes to ceed, and then eating this ma ture, semi-cured grass after it lias gono to seed, tho seed is saved on the ground and resown, and the stand of bunch graes is continually increased. "IhiB has demonstrated to me very strongly, that if mon owning large areas of grazing land expect to keep thoir ranges up to tho present stand ard, or even increase the stand of bunch grass, that they must of neces sity protect tho bunch gross at least every other year, during its seeding time; that is, from the timo tho seed begins to form until the mature Heeds aro shattered on the ground, i am convinced that the problem of restock ing the ranges may to a very largo ex tent bo solved by fencing tho grazing lands, and, at intervals, resting them."

Food plays such a prominent role In human life and Is such a mighty fac tor In human existence that the views of G. G. Notter, n expert In mat'irs of food, on the favorite dishes of New Yorkers aro Interesting, says tho New York World. Mr. Notter Is at present preparing a report for the government on the cheese Industry In the United States and it is his opinion that the Americans, next to the French and the Swiss, will become the greatest cheeso manufacturers and cheese eaters In the world. "In a great cosmopolitan city like New York," said Mr. Notter, "every home has Its own cuisine American, French, German, Italian or Hungarian, as the case may be. But In no other city of the United States do foreigners become so quickly Americanized; and American Ideas are quickly absorbed and assimilated in every home what ever the original nationality may be. The most favored dishes of New York ers I find are cereals, vegetables, ham, bacon, eggs, fruit nnd cheese. Poul try nd game, while popular, cannot always be afforded by the masses, ex cept occasionally on a Sunday or holi day, when chicken or turkey will ap pear on the table. If I were to pick out one farorlte dish I would give the preference to bacon and eggs. "In the big hotels and restaurants It Is different, however.

It was In Feb- uary, and among the dishes on tho menu was Argenen asparagus. Mr. Tschirky cabled to Paris for this vege table and It was received In time for the banquet. "Another dish which Is becoming very popular Is caviar, but fresh caviar Is very expensive and only prominent ho tels and restaurants will servo It at prices varying from $1 to $1.50 n por tion. "Cheese, especially creamy cheeso, has become a most favorite food with tho mnsses, because people hnve be gun to recognize Its nourishing qualities. "Among tho vegetables the potato Is still king, and will no doubt remain so for a long time. Peas, string beans, turnips, rice and artichokes are also favorites, and endive, a Belgian vege table much used as a salad, Is also coming to tho front. This vegetable was practically unknown here up to a few years ago."
