"No, you won't," muttered tbe Amer ican, turning nwuy to bhlo a cynical gleuui. The dum of Huplinel's grief wn iMMene, and the contents of bis oul poiin-d Into listening ears. And this wn the tnle he told: lie loved the Henorltit Anils, a bewitching damsel far shore lilm: was dying of lovt for her. Many times they hnd met on the plasa, aud she hnd glanced shyly from henenth her mantilla and smiled at him. Ye, he could swear she smiled. Hlio was beautiful and good, lit hnd iisd no gllwpH of her since except from behind the bars of her window, ile could neither cat nor sleep. The American turned away, while bis lips curled uiiplcusnutly. . Raphael amused him. lie wus an exceptional Spaniard.

Htr tyes shone, ber cbeekt flushed, and ber little heart beat fast. She. stolt to tbt Window, holding her . wuhtlllt . clost about ber chin. Beneath tbt orangt tree stood a man. Her heart fluttered faster, and the hot southern passion shone In bei eyes. It was tbe rich Re uor Americano. Several times ht, bad passed the bouse, after the custom ot the Mexican lover. The mnld clapped her bunds softly In acknowledgment that she accepted the tribute. The notes grew nore pleading still. , "Kenorlta. ' This was going beyond the bounds of tbe serenading lover, but Anita leaned out and walled. "Kcuorltn.'' "Senor, I iiui here," whispered the plrl and then drew buck coyly. l"iilr one, llnteii." Then he poured tito her ears n tnle of love. "One," said lie. "loves thee miovlta, l)ves llico unto death, but he runniit marry theo lu this country. Will you lia,ve sunny Mexico mid go t.i Ann'ricn with your luvcr as his wife?" The little suuoiita giggled. Blie hail "been In love ever since she could talk," her mother complained.

Lately h-r mother had notlved the Henor Americano pusslng the bouse, and she vat weil omtent that bt should pay roiirt to ber pretty daugl er and end all tht trouble. "Henor," cam la toft Mexican Hpn Jh, "bat bt money to buy tbt wedding clothes?" "Ho bat enough to buy the Quest any brldt could wish." "Aud does bt loves me well, tenor?"

Anita must lovt and bt loved and would makt a good, true little wlfo for any man wbo would ouly lovt ber enough. "Honor." Blie leaned far out Into tht silver night, pulled a rose and threw It down to blin, "Benor, when?" Ho picked up tht flower, kissed It and pressed It to bl heart. Ho was so coldly, artificially Mexican. It frightened and attracted ber. "Now," be answered. "Now, Anita. Will yon come with me now?" The realization came to ber llkt a shock. Ieavt ber father and mother? (Jo wltb this man? To America? Lovt and romance were ber guiding start, poor little aoul. Yea, abt would go. "In two minutes, tenor," abt whis pered. , , A victoria sped away from tht house. Tht girl ke.pt up a toft Klgl at tht carriage bumped over tbt stones that covered the street, but as they reach ed the outskirts of tbe city she turned silent "BenorlU," that was the first word her strange lover bad spoken. He now leaned forward In the durkness. "Henorlts, are you afrnld?" His gnse was cold and steady. "Are you afraid, gentle senorlts?" hs repeated, as she did not answer. "No-o, senor. Hut why are you so so still? You do not lovt me?" Her voice shook. "Kenorlta, I hsve loved msny bean tlful ladles. I ambah"-be teemed to bt talking to himself-"tired of It all." "Tired of love?" A cold band knock ed at the door of tier heart. The car riage wus on a lonely, white country road now, , , "Henorlts, I cnnnot-I-er-well, yon see, I cannot marry you-I"-1 "Yoq cannot marry me? Then why did you brln me here?" "Walt, senorlts. Do yon love ine?" She was daxed by the sudden, prac tical iiiestion; then she shuddered and answered : "No, I hste you, I bate you. senor! Ob. take me back to my moth er! Take me homer . "Have you ever loved" any man? Ever truly loved T' be asked without heeding her. lu ber heart arose tbe vision of a pair of faithful, gentle eyes that bad sought hers on the plain and a form that bent over the guitar at twilight. She burst Into tears. "Oh, yes," she moaned. "HnphaeL dear Raphael!" The carriage etopped. Tbe lover climbed out: then, leaning on the win dow ledge, he whispered, "If you are wise, keep still." Aud she obeyed. The horse stirred, the concilium! dosed and the time grew long. Then the night quiet wus broken by the twangy voice of the Amcrlcun, mingled with the soft tones of her na tive tongue. The currlnge door opened, aud there before her stood Raphael. "Now," said the American, "if you want to go home I'll take you back. If you want to go with your lover, go." For answer she threw herself Into Raphael's arms, aud caste and pro priety wre forgotten lu tbe bliss of a flrst klsa of lovt gratified. "Here's a purse for you and your girl, Raphael. Hope you'll like mar ried lift." ' ' ' He told tbe driver to drive to tbe station with the pair and stood watch ing . them disappear, down tht white road. Then bt took out a cigar, bit off tbt tnd and laughed aa ot tald aloud: "I always thought Miles Standlsb was a fool. Halt my mint gone top. 'The fool and bis money are soon , parted.'

POSITION IN SLEEP. Tbe resaeettot Rewea Health m-4 tbe Wmf ot the Bed, A Krencb scientist claims to have e talillshed a distinct connection between our health and tho position which our beds occupy with regard to tbe points of the compass. Ht relies upon the fact that the sap of trees Is gradually driven toward the east by centrifugal force, so thot they develop more on that side. This Induces blin to argue that when wo remain lu bed for several hours wltb our heads toward the east tills will tend to drive the liquids of our body from west to cast, and our blood bus a tendency to flow toward tbe brain, so that we sleep uneoslly and flud ourselves less fresh when wt awake than If our feet bad pointed eastward. If our bed stand north and south it Is better to Ile with the bead northward, as tht centrifugal force acts from north to south In our hemisphere. This old Inscription on a bedstead la good: "So that ye hnrte be rite, It mat ters not which waye ye heod laye." His time. "Bo Speeder baa turned out to be a confldonea man.
