THE
BELLS OF
FATE
By CHARLOTTE CANTY
$ kr SUart Starr Psk. Ce.)
GUIQUITA, the little burro be
longing to the American doctor,
bad wandered sway from the
spot where the doctor bsd left
her. He bad sprung from ber back
with a force thst set all bar sliver
bells a-Jangle, ss be hastened Into tbe
garden, where a crowd of women
sobbed and clung about the dead
body of Mugdulena. The loveliest of
th village glrla lay with ber dagger
tliruit Into her cloud-white breast.
Nothing of this Chluulta kuew, but
she knew tbe trail over the mountain,
for only three days sgo aha bad cov
ered It, carrying the doctor from the
big city to the quaint Hpaoleh town
In the deep valley. Hack over the
trail she started, stepping lightly snd
softly, so softly 'thst only the very
rough bits of tha road called forth
the tinkling music of ber bells.
Hut Valenelo, crouching beneath ths
mesqulla bushes on tha hillside above
the bouse, knew sll of the tragedy and
more. He had waited, hoping that
there might be some mistake; that
Uagdulena might have struck a blow
less true than aha threatened. Hut
there waa no mistake; Magdalena was
desd; psst the shsme of bsvlng been
tricked by blm, plsyed with to rouse

trembled as he listened to tbe broken
Voices from below, for the cry of th
moment was, "Who Is to tell l.ulsr
Luis would come In from the Itsnrho
de loe Cerrltoi st sunset to spend his
Sunday with Magdalene. One Sunday
out of each month lie came, and it was
since bis laat visit that all of thla mis
chief bsd been done. Valenelo, bis
narrow fsre working, rnraed Luis snd
himself snd the whimsical Tonla, at
whoae fickle heels he had danced these
two years paaf. Hut for her coldness
he would not hsve dreamed of aettlng
np this flirtation; and surely he would
not have selected Magdalena if he had
thought of i.uls lor Lais wss bold
snd feerluas. and Valenelo was a cow.
srd. And Luis wss coming even now
he might be riding Into the town!
Valenelo crept up tbe hillside, keep
ing under tbe ensile of the bushes, but
hasenlng to get out of earshot of ths
crying voices below. Luis could crush
blm bresk blm In two snd Valenelo
knew that be would do It. He must
get away and at once. Not to any of
the big ranchoa, for no one would take
blm In now. The mountain trail was
bis only hope; once scross tbe divide
he might feel himself aafe, but no
where on' thla side of the mountains
would there be refuge for him.
Pear lashed blm Into swift action;
the lazy length of his body responded
to the new sppeal, and at sunset he
found himself high on a mountain
peak, looking down Into deep shsded
canyons where the night lay In wait
Faint, tear-whlte atara were trembling
In tbe sky, but Valenelo saw only the
shadows, creeping slowly up the inoun-
tslnslde.
He could not stop for the night;
night or day Luis was sure to follow
him. Again lie cursed the luck that
had led blm past klagilatcna's garden
gate the night that it had pleased
Tonla to give ber smiles to i wander
ing musician. He had gone blindly
down the road, nursing hla sullen
Jealousy, until at Magilulena's gate be
had hear a allver-tnned laugh, gay snd
sweet, tinkling like God! What waa

Valenelo stood, trembling In every
cowardly fiber. A silver tinkle.
sounding among tbe rocks, bsd seemed
so near that be could have sworn that
Magdalena herself bnd laughed .Hut
Magdalena was dead lying back there
with the life gone out of ber torn
white breast
He cast one terrified glance behind;
the road was clear. The sound had
seemed to come from a point just
ahead of blm, where the trail wound
up over a bead of rugged rocks. In
burning baate be pressed on, the chill
of the shock changed to a fever of
terror. He must get sway, down Into
the wide world beyond the mountains;
the wide world that all bis life be had
been too laiy to desire.
Toe Issy. U was this that had made
him fit. upon Magdalena as an essy
prise. She was pretty, prettier fsr
thsn any of tha others, and so young
thst she knew no better than to glory
In her conqueat of him. To have
wrested blm away from the more as
sured charms of the older woman had
seemed to her a triumph Indeed. And
when Tonla had puased them chatting
at tbe garden gate Magdalena had
laughed for very Joy had laughed
like like
Again Valenelo panned, shaken,
trembling, clinging to a thorny shrub
for support. Again thst slher tinkle
had rung out, snd was echoing faintly
snd sweetly In the vast silence of the
mountain heights. He sank weakly
down to the esrth. What devil's magla
tvns this? No one was, near; no one
could be; and yet (hat sound waa like
nothing else In the world but Magda
lena' laugh, that care-free music
bubbling up from the pure depths of
her happy heart. Hut her heart was
stilled; never more would laughter

thst he bsd snt In her garden and had
sung to her the songs that he hsd
made for Tonla. Dead the child
Magdalena the child who hsd grown
woman before his eyes, Ht hurried
on, pushing aside th scene that rose
before blm, . 1
What was It hs had said to her
about not being able to remain? What
excuse had be made? He could not
recall his words; he know only thst
Tonla bad beckoned blm bsi k, snd that .
be wss going to ber. Mugdaleua, with
sll ber cblld-womsn's witcheries, could
not bold Hid. And Magdalena, stung
to the soul, had realized that be bad
only played with her to wlu back
Tonla's uncertain fancy. He could see
now what he bad been too dull to read
In the girl's pallid, tragic face; the
shsme of having been wede sn Instru
ment for bis vsnlty ; the self-contempt
that pronounced ber wholly unworthy
of Luis; the certainty that Tonla
would laugh now and that tbe whole
village would laugh with her.
Valenelo bad followed ber as shs
turned from him to run Into the gar-'
den; be bad seen the knife In ber hand.
bad beard ber despairing threat; but
even as ah spoke he bsd listened fur
the Isugb that should tell blm that
ber threat waa but a jest; that be
might return, csrs-free, to his first
love. He bsd listened for the laugh
for tbe laugh
Horror seized hlin snd held blm
rigid. Tbe laugh was ringing all about
him, echoing back from rock to rock,
tinkling, trembling, taking a hundred
new Inflections, but always with that
silver quality that had been Ita charm.
He lifted bis bands to his head to shut
out th sound, but he could hear II
ringing Into his brain; the laugh of
Magdalena, the child laugh that had
been the chief grace of - her young
womanhood, 1
An Indian legend dimly came back
to blm ; tbe story of a man who bad
been pursued by the dying whispers
of the woman be hwd murdered. Was
this to be bis punishment to be pur
sued by tbe laugh that he bsd killed)
The wild pounding of bis heart
stopped blm. He had been running,
sobbing breathlessly in terror of a
phantom that ran with him. Spent
and exhausted hs went down, only to
be urged up snd on sgaln by the sli
ver tinkle that came to blm, now
ear, now fsr, but slwsys wltl the
blithe ring thst be knew. Overhead
the tranquil stars gleamed, and tbe
young moon glided through the velvet
sky, but be saw only the shsdows
that the moonlight cast, sod trembling,
rsn from tbem.
He bsd forgotten Luis. Besting In
upon bis brain the sliver tones mocked
sll thought of human vengeance ,as
they mocked all pity for human weari
ness. Torn by the thorny brush,
bruised by many falls on the rough.
Stony trail, he would yet have count
ed himself bleat If be could have a
momeot'a respite from the Incessant
tinkle of tbat pbsntom laugh. The
stsrs psled and the moon went down.
In the blacker darkness he stumbled
slong, and always ths silver laugh
kept pace with him.
"Magdalena 1" be cried, aloud. "By
the pity of Christ r
"Magdalena I" cams back the echo.
Interwoven with silver tones, "By the
pity" and then the Isugli, more clear,
more metallic than ever.
"Magdalena, I die !" be gasped, des
perately. "Die 1" rang the echo, and though he
was sobbing aloud he could bear the
tinkle that came with the reaimnse.
Then In a frenzy of madness he, too,
lsughed, and tbe silver tones blended
with his as they bsd on nights too
well remembered. He sang, snd Mag
dalena'a atlver notes puld tribute to
tbe crazy tones ss they bad to bis
more artful music. Madly he stumbled
slong, crying, singing, shouting wild
ly, snd laughing In a crazy hysteria,
but tbe silver laugh was with bis ev
ery echo and bis baste did not out
run It.
Suddenly be stumbled, fell, snd
plunged into a gully. Crying wltk
fatigue be pulled himself up to the
trail again, and In th fulnt light of
dawn he looked over a steep precipice,
a acar In the rock face of the moun
tain. But even as he looked the sil
ver laughter came nearer; sounded st
hit very shoulder. With a mad shriek
he plunged down tha precipice Into the
rock heap at the foot of the mountain
scsr, t .
There was a faint, answering cry of
fear, and half a dozen atones slid down
from tbe trail ss Chlqulta, ber silver
bells jangling, paused at the edge of
the. precipice, and looked with mild
eyes at the shspeless heap below.
Proof That Pygmy Mtn
One Lived in Britain
In tbe British lalea traces of th
European pygmies sre to be found.
Here they fled from the tall men, snd
here they survived sfter their fellows
hsd been exterminated" on the main
land. The cairns snd ton passage
ways they one Inhabited are still to
be seen In various parts of Scotland,
Ireland and the Hebrides, the I'ltts
burgh Sun says.
These "I'lcts" houses," consisting of
subterranean stone-fuced passages, are
so low that they could only have been
occupied by a pygmy race. That they
were occupied Is proved by the discov
ery of remain of food, fire and other
sign of buman habitation.
In different part of Britain as well
as on the mainland, tiny arrow heads
called "elf-shots" have been discovered.
Traditions say they were shot at the
rattle by fairies, but science says they
were the weapons of pygmy men.

SOMETHING .TO
THINK ABOUT
By F. A. WALKER
UPLAND SOLITUDES
IT IS becoming a mooted question
among observing educators as to
whether our present-day diversions do
not often dwarf tha budding IntelleHs
of the young and carry them fur
afield In tbe wrong direction.
With the possible exception of
music, the universal Isngusge, our en
tertainments, as a rule, have become
mere frivolities, appealing to the
baser passions, the redeeming features
In almost sll cases being the superb
it ace settings.
With their deft brushes the scenery
painters seem to be doing more for
the elevstlon of the mind then the
wlelders of the stage pen. .
Without the exquisite scenes many
of our popular plays would Indeed
become miserable makeshifts. Inca
pable of holding tbe boards a fort
night. Tbe One art of acting Is being rel
egated to the psst. There Is a
craving for the gross, glaring, flagrant
and thumping, rather tbsn for the re
fined, uplifting and ennobling, doubt
less due to perverted tastes snd crav
ings for sensationalism and excite
ment Th Intermediate colors snd fine
shadings of the older school have
given wsy to higher tones whose In
tensities and Umlts have about been
reached.
Just what will follow cannot be
guessed, except to bint In a vague
way tbrt this modern tower' of Bab
ylon will some day suddenly topple
over, tumble noisily st our feet snd
leave" ns babbling In strange tongues,
wondering what confusion mesnst
There Is In tbe human heart an
everlasting yearning for something
new, and no one apparently knows
whst to suggest
It Is Just possible thst we need
now, more than anything else, the
upland solitudes, where we may get
In the pure, clear atmosphere and re
flect awhile without molestation from
the crude scarlet letter snd blinding
lights which hsve wsrped our judg
ment and dulled our Sner seuslblll
ties. We need these upland solitudes far
more often thun we may suspect, for
It bl among them that we gather new
strength fur the higher duties of life,
a keener conception of our Infirmities,
a deeper realization of our lark of
bumun kindness snd a sickening sense
st the loss of our faith In the good,
the clean, the noble and In humanity
