Inslcail of putting any faith in the

attributed to it virtues which no other

and that it was impossible to lose it,

Iphia chose the finest opal in his cob
-'lion, had it set in u rinir, surrounded
by small diamonds, and at Christinas
presented it to his wile. It was truly a
icauty, and she woie it with conscious
pride.
One day on returning from a day's
outing she received quite a shock the
opal was gone. Search proved vain.
No trace of the stone could she discover.
Nut only on account ol its value, but
because she knew how highly her bus-
band prized the stone, she hated to in

Rules l ur Those Who Arc Abut In l'.ntcr
or Have Jusl I'.ntcrcJ Society.
It is a good thing to have suine rules
with which to work out life's problems,
and here are some that have been picked
up and tested by a contributor to the
Washington Star and found to bo good:
Always take it for granted that every
one means well by you unless you have
proof to the contrary. The average per
son in society bus a good naturod, or at
least tl cynical, sort of tolerance and
liking for you. Very few actually hate
you or want to spite you. When you find
out that there is some one who docs, don't
liscuss it or quarrel ubout it if it can be
avoided. Just drop the person from your
as completely as posible, and, above
all, never descend to abuse him or her.
It will hurt you worse lhan it will
your enemy. iNever treasure up a gnev
ance; it will grow out of all proportion
with nursing.
Don't snub other women und girls just
ecause there is a man around. This is
the most fragrant fault of girls who has
it learned relative value. The man will
not like you any better fur ignoring a
;irl friend and earnestly devoting yoursell
to In in. A great many debutuutcs think
their success depends upon the men. It
a sad mistake. It is the married women
ind your girl comrades who can give you
good time, or not, in the end. Very
few women dislike you because of your
successes. It is because ol your Haunting
them.
Never ignore older married men. They
will not forgive it, and they wield u mighty
power.
Don't wonder whut construction will
be put on everything you say, the way
you hold your head and the way you
laugh.
Dou't wander what people are thiuk-
ing of your pose, and your gown, and
your hands and the position of your feet.
Ton to one they don't even fee, und if
they do arc not bothering their headsabout
you, This is not kind. but it is eminently
true. A very young girl's worst fault is
r self consciousness. It may bo the
consciousness of her shortcomings, but
that is even more vexing than an npprc-
iation of her virtues.
Don't be wondering what you will say
next. A pause is uotlimg deadly, ll
you do not make it so. Probably by the
lime you have finished saving what you
ive in mind a new tojiowill be sug
gosted Iryiug to say something any
thing to fill in a hiatus is the most pt
tent cause of that mistake c ininouly
known as putting your foot in it
Don't frequent tete-a-tete corners, On
ly experienced and much older girls can
o that with impunity.
Don't giggle, but, on the other hand
nn't look as if you wore at a w ilding ot
a funeral.
I'se your eyes to say what it dotsn't
happen to be practical to say with your
tongue.
If you happen to be left strauded for
, ,, , i-
one dance, novel sit all alone on oue sine
of the wall to be pitied, (let up and
over to some uroup of matrons, und don't
fancy that the whole room is watching
your transit. It is much too busy talking
and dancing. Here, again, dou't think
of yourself. There is nothing so wii lol
edusa would be wallflower, bhe cant
possibly look us though she liked it, and
there is not the least use in trying lo
mile it efl.
Above all things, never discuss an
affair where you were a failure. Never
admit that you were a failure. Keep
iniel about it if vou can't eulhuse. It
doesn't do to explain the causes.

The most uncanny spot on the face of
the earth is, very likely, within the boun
daries of the Superstition mountains in
Arizona. The name was given this
range of volcanic lock by the Indians,
and never was name more appropriate.
Of course, the educated man of today
knows that all of the strange and weinl
phenomena to be seen there tire the re
sult of natural causes and can lie easily
explained, but the poor Indian who knows
not lliese can hardly be blamed for
having a wholesome fear for any part of
the range.
The stories the Indians toll of the Su
perstition mountains would take months
to repeat, but the idea of all of them
seems to be to impress the fact that the
Arch Fiend who presides over the domain
as a Hatred ot the red man and is con
stantly laying traps to destroy him. All
who enter the realms of horror do so at
risk of never eoming back, aud all
who do come back have new tales to add
the already long list. The most tcrri
i things told of are the swinging stones
that turn out from the walls of a canyon
and crush the passerby. Then there arc
aces where the ghosts dance; trees that
reach out their branches and entangle all
who come near them. There are caverns
d with witches and devils und awful
birds that make the strangest sounds.
Wild animals by the thousunds come
ght out of the solid rocks. Pishes with
L'gs come Iroiu the lakes and drown all
within their reach. Fire aud smoke uud
horrible groans and howls fill the air on
all sides.
To see tho weird aspect of this uncan
ny region it is best to select that time of
the month when the moon is full. The
most interesting portion is in a canyon
that opens on the north side of the rauge
and if an cxplnrer will manage to get
about ten miles into this during the day
time and, after selecting a quiet spot, wait
ir the moon to rise, he can have an ex-
:;ricuce he will never forgot. Hut dou't
go unless your nerves are strong.
In most parts ol the world silence
comes with the night. Just l tic reverse
seems to be the case in ihe Superstition
mountains. Or is ibis imagination? But
suddenly the ail is rent with the most
uneaithly shrieks that ever fell on moilnl
ears. Agaiu und again it comes and
rolls and echoes through the canyons
Iting weirder with eich reverberation
Theory is taken up on all sides until the
mountain seems like pandeuiouiiim
Hut nerve yourself and pass on. Keep
to the bottom ofaheeinvon und you v:il
iu no danger of a fall. Silcnco will
eome agaiu, und you wills ion see a cone
ibaped mountain rising before you. Ap
prjueh closer and a castle as perfect n:
any on the bunks of the Khine will appear
erched oil its summit. When near
soft, mulllod sound of footsteps will
be heard. What is it? Hy looking care
fully a procession of panthers can b
n walking around ihe cone shapi i:
mountain as ll guarding the cistle on its
summit.
Hound uud rouud ' they go, looking
neither to right nor left, and though eon
siderable noise is made, tliey will not
notice it. Many old hunters say that
is possible lor a man lo walk right across
the line uud tho panthers will uot ill tack
him.
Further up the canyon arc numerous
ulehes, into which the moonlight falls.
One of them has a sort ot overliangin
ledge and beneath it appeals a crowd ol
men. Surely they are talking. 1
tlioir aims appear lo move, their Heads
turn t Diui side to side. Some have o
while clothes aud others appear to be o
liflerent colors. A peculiar sound Ilk
the murmur of voices fills the air.
By climbing a small canyon to the left
the most startling sight in the mountain
can be seen. Surely it is nut of tlii
world. The canyon suddenly toriui nates
in a gulch that crosses it from side to
side. At first sight it is only an abyss
of inky blackness. Listen! A
peculiar rumbling sound can be heard,
and from the profound depth a while
robed figure will appear. Then allot hoi
and another, until there is a whole pro
cession of ghosts passing over the brink
Many id lliein will wave their arms, as
if ln-cl.ui.iiig tl.e observer. Whili
this is going on clouds will appear to
float in from the sides, and perhups thun
der will be heard iu the diitaneo. lint
ihe procession moves on and passes up
a canyon, aud filially disappears over a
cliff. Sileuce will follow, and tho act
will be repeated. This canyon caunot be
traversed further, but by turning baek
and entering a small valley on the other
side three giants can be seen in confer
ence. They are sitting close to a tree,
and their uttitudes show them to be in
lerested iu what oue of them is saying.
Fuilher up the canyon there is a large
cliff and behind it at intervals can be
seen flashes of light. Thunder follows
and tho earth beneath your feet will
shake. Possibly one of the flashes may
throw you to the ground, and you can
hear the hissing of servants near by. If
you happen to be in tho right place y
can hear a grinding sound and a cliff
will swing outward. Hut it won't fall, 8
the next shake will swine it back.
Dozens of experiences liko those just
related are likely to lielull the night ex
ploter in the Superstition mountains, so
that when da light comes be will

gions or with Alice in Wonderful. San

it made mesick the rest of the day. My
companion began to laugh as though he
would die of merriment, butlsaw noth

"'You are crazy,' he said, 'lo get
frightened over a little thing like that.
Do you not know that Hawaiian island
centipedes ure nut poisonous? I told you
to keep quiet just to see how long jour

I was silting on a keg of nails in a
West Virginia mountain store, watching
a native dickering with the merchant
over a trade of a basket of eggs for a
calico dross. After some lime a bargiiiu
was closed, ihe native walked out with
dress in a bundle under bis arm, and 1
followed him.
"It isn't any business of mine," I said
"but I was watching that trade ami wns
