Tho question uppermost In my mind wim, what should I wenrT I had with nie a new drcg suit, a hunting outfit nnd a tennis costume of dueling bril ll(incy. It was almost a fonrdhe conclu sion that I -woud paralyze the Custllluns with a swallow-tailed coat,' when my friend entered and insisted on my going dressed, or rather undressed, as I was. He had never seen anything in Castillo that would take so well as those silk pajamas,- and I am forced to admit they did speuk for themselves.' The ladles, he informed me, - would wear little more, and as for the men well, they dressed as the fancy struck them.' Despite his earnest entreaties, I compromised on a flannel shirt, a pair of white duck trou Hers and a blazer in which all the colors of the spectrum blended harmoniously, Thus rigged for the fandango, my friend and I; preceded by a few ragged soldiers, and followed by a noisy crowd of naked children, sauntered through the single Ktreet of tha village. The hall an old bar-room, the floor of which had been neatly swept and sanded, was moored on four plies over tho river, where the cooling trade wind might tern per the heat' of the dance. No one had yet arrived, so w atootl at the counter -drinking tuna as tha soldiers fixed their bayonets, "You see, we never enjoy a feast in Castillo without the military," said the commandante, who had joined us, as hl men began to group themselves about the room, ."tt would not be safe," he continued, "for tha Costa Ricans might ' attack us at any moment; and then when ; either the men or. women get too full of talla, nothing but a bayonet can bring them to their senses. With this cheering prospect in view for an evening's entertainment, I stood near an open window and watched the crowd "Adlos, Senior Comandante: adlos, cab nllero," was the musical greeting softl) whlspored from lips that needed no rougt to make them blush the traditional hu of the peach. The women were sym phonies in black, yellow and brown; aw . then' costumes. If such they might bt called, were marvels of brllllnt colors A low. cut bodies or chemise, made ou of a kind of mosquito net cloth, throng -which glistened their dork skins, a loo. fitting skirt of some conspicuous hue a red sash, and a few scarlet passlo flowers completed their ball attire. Tb men seemed to care less about their per aonul appearance, if th fact that the. wore less Is any criterion. Some saun to red in with shoes, soma without. The. all wore tha native uniform, however towel around the hoad. Now and then i pair of modern check trousers- almoa made me feet the bleak winds that I knew must then be sweeping up tha Bowery. As the kail gradually ailed up, the guest almlestdy meandered from on end U the other, tha counter forming a nucleus around which gathered the elite of Cas ttlloi Three- unseen musicians now began to moke the night hideous, their Instruments of torture being a basa drum, a fife and a wire-strung guitar, from which Issued sounds. Uka m chorus of mosqultos. Each Rul'.-irtt seized a female; without saying much aa ".y your n-iw ,n ; few antelope- hounds across the flour i'uwe volur.w of smoke mingled with clouds of sand; soon filled the air. The voices grew louder, and clinking glasses almost drowned tb strains of the dance. 8tlll the revelry continued, for the night was yet young. Th dancers seemed to tire. Not so th musicians. They were. iu Vuj, o..u mrj niuoi. At llie :cnd of fifteen minutes X became restless. i imii iiuur . Bum, urn Dun i ho music neither ceased nor changed.

As I stood there and contrasted I lie Strang scene befor m with the last r arlty 1H at th. Metropolitan Opera , 1 HotiMtt, a rum Inllated Indian walked up til iirro.'iiotitttcly put his arm through 'diIik. "Very dear and respected friend." ( b-Kn, "why no dance?

The fellow ; -1 s 1 1 fiiott;d, lio-evcr, Insisting on my 1 1 iHii? a drink or ttillit with him to show j i . ,v Hun no hard feeling. Finding him ' fif.Uit refiine'l, he went away. It was -im; l;i(e, but the musicians wer still 18 th'-ir money. The band had 1 . . , .. ,i,i ins the evening, and 1 i i-, -n 1 -i!,; cix.iish to gather strength : u .. n.t nhtaln aa ample -. .trtim vii ltio4 Could fact, found It dimcult policy. to see the head of . his instrument. The dancers became more excited, likewise the musicians.. Wild and fantastic strains echoed throughout the hall. But the climax was reached when the manipu lator of the boss drum missed his aim - and struck the life player a vicious blow on tho head that almost Btumied him. Now the music ceased and a free fight ensued, the friends of each championing their man. Discretion taught me that it was time to retire; but Just as I reached the door, the drunken fellow who had previously annnoyed me stood there with a savage glare In his dark eyes. Glancing at my blazer, ho said. In an insultnjr tone, "Very dear and respected friend, I like much your fancy coat. What you will sell to. me for?" I Informed that my coat was not for wile, and started to move away. He was determined to get into a fight, however, and with this end In view he grabbed at my right arm, tearing away part of the sleeve. For the first since my arrival In Nicaragua I was without a revolver, and at a time when I most needed one. There was nothing within night but a small stoul. which I quickly caught by the feet and swung aloft. As noon an the Indian saw this he reached down nnd drew from his sush ajong machete. Ho- foro he could raise his arm, however, my friend and the Comandante, who had Just entered, seized the fellow and turned him over to tho soldiers. Thus ended a memorable fundango that shall ever be recalled as I hear the San Juani breaking over the rapids, and look upon the green hills of Castillo, peaceful home of tho simple-minded Indiana. V.
