Instead, bowevWl ; as confinMl wtthln the --borders1 of a beautiful xiylandjyhich a bountiful Providence had provided with 4every pift of nature and deprived only of my friends and my babitnal environment. Coon after my deportation, having been landed at one of the two ports -here and finding the wretched town life not to my taste, I wandered away to the eminence known as the Crystal hill, from the summit of which I could loo!: cut over the desolate sea and the forest intervening between it and the plantations. These and the town lay on the plain eastward of the bilh Some distance down its western slope I found the yawning month of a cave open in the direction of the sea, its farther end somewhere within the bowels of the earth. It was large and dry, with immense natural pillars sup portipg a roof hung with stalactites, while a stream of clear water Issued from Its unexplored Interior. In its outer chamber I hung a hammock, a fire of gum wood dispensed warmth and perfume when the nights were chilly, and I thought I should be con tent here for a month at least, or until I could venture back to Havana. I had money and firearms, and provi sions were daily supplied me by a faithful islander-whom I had befriend ed in former times. , In the surround ing forest were many plants and ana- jnals which could afford me sustenance if my supply from town were to be cut off; and I lacked onlv companion ship to make me perfectly contented. If only Olivia were here Olivia, my fiancee! If I had but married her be fore this unfortunate affair! But, no; this was jio place for a tenderly nur tured woman like the daughter of the alcalde of San Cristobal. I sat in the cave's mouth one day at noon. The heat of the plains was most I PIiTJXGED IT INTO THB MAN EATER'S BODY. oppressive, but a breeze from the ocean stirred the leaves of the pines. But for their sighing there was no sound to disturb the deathlike calm till an unfamiliar clashing of branches caused me to start and reach out for my rifle, leaning against a rock. Distracted as I was., I expected noth ing less than a visit from the Spanish volunteers "who guarded the island; but, looking up, I saw before me the "figure of a irL She was comely, and her face shone with intelligence,- yet I knew that she belonged to the serving I-class. It was, indeed, Carmela, the de voted maid of my fiancee! She smiled and held oat a folded paper. At first my bewildered senses could hardly ac cept this token of her existence.

Day by day thereafter tfnrmlr the whole of Christmas week I carried down clothing, provisions, arms and ammunition until at last our frail craft was laden with everything necessary J ror a voyage. -1 i r i'our days ' parsed after we were ready before we saw a sail upon the ocean. It was late in the afternoon of the last day of December, when, sit ting in the shade of the -cave-Olivia i pointed out a speck upon the waves. She looked long and earnestly, then said: - "Dearest, It is a ship, and It is coming toward our island." "Will you venture" I asked." . ir . "Certainly," she answered,., smiling Into my eyes. "But first let us be in deed sure it is approaching." It drew nearer, nearer, rising higher, higher, until, as the sun sank behind the hill crest, the white sails were il lumined by its rays. Then, "no ; longer doubtful, we went at once to the shore. But as 'we embarked the maid refused to risk the voyage and chose. to. xetuca to brave the wrath of Don Amadeo. So she and her mistress bade each other a tearful farewell and we set sail with out her. We had a fair wind, and I laid a course for the bark, which, as it was sailing slowly,; I hoped to, overhaul within an hour or two. Half the distance had been traversed,1 and, though darkness now overspread the ocean, we could still make out the -Ship's position by: her lights. '"The sea became rougher and - more turbulent and suddenly I sensed a new danger. While I was watching the foam crested billows sweeping toward us in order to avoid them I saw in their dark hollows rapidly moving streaks of phosphor escence. We were beset by sharks! Their flaming -fins were cleaving the water all about us. The black waves were alive with them. But the bark was looming steadily before us. In another half hour we should be within hail even if she "did not sooner see us and lower a boat Perhaps I was roade too confident by this assurance; but without warning, a fierce wave assailed us, and the raft was overturned. The same wave car ried my sweetheart away into the dark--ness, but I swam swiftly to her side and thrust out an arm to draw her to my shoulder for support But that Instant, as her eyes looked lovingly Into mine, a cry burst from her lips, and be sank beaeath the strove to. raise her, frotytiiyt str was unavailing as against that of-the monster that had seized her.

The grim jaws re laxedjheir hold, and, dragging the ap parently lifeless form to the surface, I bore it to the raft and cast myself down beside her. There, while, the waves swept over us, while the fins of the sharks hissed and gleamed in the foam ing waters; I called to her, bent over her, pressed my lips to hers. -. Then, -overcome, by fatigue and de-. spair.'I swooned by her side. . e - . From a dreamless sleep, from hover ing on the borders of oblivion, I was awakened by strange voices.

Death is certain to result if this advice Is not followed. To permit a woman to enter the house first on New Year's day is .said to be a sure forerunner of evil. The same results are said to follow the throwing out of dirty water, ashes or any kind of refuse. In sweeping the house the dnst must be swept from the door to the hearth or death will be the consequence: A enstom largely observed nt present is after making the fire in the morning to spread the. ashes ever the threshold.

Toward the end of the last century the vlsitlns cards of the unncr classes were veritable works of art, ana by J their means many most interesting types of engraving survive. They were of varying sire, but the majority not larger than about two and a half inches by two Inches, while today those used by gentlemen are two inches by one and a half inches- and by Ladies four Inches by two and a half Inches. There were many square ones used, about 1780 to 179a One belonging to an Eng lish society leader of a century ago dates" from Uolle street Cavendish square, a spot associated with Lord Byron.

The names were frequently written upon them, and even when they were printed It was rare that one particular pattern was kept for any special person. The bead of A well known Warwickshire family during a visit to Rome in 1783 kept and has handed down, those left by his ac quaintance. On these figure the arch of Titus, St Peter's, the castle of St Angelo and many other lions of Rotae. Not a few of the visiting cards of this period recall-nothing; so much aa the funeral monuments of those days Sometimes the-names appear on well engraved vases, sometimes on chim rey pieces. 8ome are square, with supporting columns, scrolls and cur tains; some display festoons of Cow ers and a variety of animals. The cognomens of naval officers emerge from the midst of" spikes, anchors, ropes, flags and other naval sJgnia, while military officers ap 'pear Burrounded by helmets, cannon, tents and soldiers. Artists figure amid palettes, brusheg and other adjuncts of their art. mostly accompanied by a graceful female form, and every kind of musical Instrument he a been called into play lyres, harps, trumpets and harpsichords for musicians. Birds of many kinds hold scrolls bearing the names In their beaks, or they are written on their breasts or outstretched wings. Animals often play a double part The name of Hare, for example, la represented as a rebus by that little animal running at full speed, while a goat4 figured on the fashionable designs of 1785. Archery, agriculture and sport generally left their Impress 00 the visiting card. About ISIS pure white cards with embossed borders and large embossed letterings were the prevalent mode. History again repeats Itself the daughter's name appeared then with her mother's, sa It does now, , now many of the titles then extant have died out! It very often happened that the lady's cards and the gentleman's were of. the same size, but not always. For her "ticket" the Duchess oUt Leeds lo 1764 favored a very pretty engraving of a Chinese, figure looking' over 'a low doorway, with . an. Angli cized pagoda at the aide. . On another card-bearing- a fa moos lord's f name figures a powerful engraving ot the sphinx, with the Egyptian -pyramids In the rear. V . . ' Many a great 'dame cf those days had her name on her visiting card sur rounded by a' framework held by Cu pids. "These were far prettier than. the somber; iobking-srda covered with dose set, engravedV- horizontal lines and a very deep border. Monograms and coronets figured on some of them and hare left to posterity fine speci mens of steel engraving, but the" most elaborate of heraldic' cards were, gen erally ; foreign, and some -of . the " for-' efgn embassies employed colored crests occasionally Introduced In the -center.
