Where Silvjr Is Plentiful.
The standard of value iu Potosi, Bo
llvla. for everything from sweethearts
to eltles Is the silver hill of the Thun
derer. Willis Knnpp .Tones In Travel
gives a picturesque history of the won- I
derful r.ollvlan silver mine ami the
town which spent $10,000,000 celebrat
ing the coronation of King Philip II
of Spain. As the legend noes, when
the early Indians started digging there
for silver the mountain shook and
thundered: "This.hill Is not for yon.
It belongs to it race which will come
later." In this strange town sliver
was more plentiful than bread.
Are Women the Stronger?
That American women have the true
sporting' spirit and are learning to ask
ne favors in the gwne of life Is shown (
by the comments made by several of
them In resurd to the recent demand
of the women of I'arls for separate
cars In the subways. One woman, and
this n dancer by profession, says Mint
she has never bad •• scat in a subway
In New York city, where she lives,
nnd'that she rer.llv enjoys standing up.
ns it gives Iter n feeliug of superiority
and of being able to stand on her own ,
feet and tight her own battles In
the world.—Pittsburgh Pispatch.

LUE MOON
A TALE, OF THE FLATWOODJf
&MYID ANDERSONM
COFY2,1GHT BY THE BoBBS-MER.RJLL COnPANi
He was astonished at the wistful
ness In hor tones.
"Why, mother, you can come back
—any minute."
"It has been niv home for twenty
years." she saiil as she turned axvny,
her tone more the voicing of a reflec
tion than the statement of a fact.
Across the gangplank and up the
slope among the trees he led her—
carried her—with all the tenderness
due from a man to his mother; for
the Iron-Gray-Woman had the man
ners and speech of a "lady of high
degree;" and she had taught him nil
she knew. He had brought along a
cushion, which he spread for her upon
a moss-upholstered rock. With the
spray of the waterfall In the air. with
the cup in her band, the cool spring
within reach, he left her and hurried
back lo the houseboat.
The sun was dipping low toward
the distant bend in the river when
the last of the moving was done. A
purple twilight hail given place to
dark before lie bail the cabin put to
rights, bis mother In her easy chair,
and supper on the table: a bass, taken
from the nets only that morning;
fruit from the woods; baked pota
toes; t«>ast, crisp and brown; and ten,
which she had left her chair long
enough to draw.
In the contented silence that often
fulls nfter the evening men), the mnn
sat covertly studying her face. The
fever lunl tune. It was a face almost
serene. She appeared, as lie watche<l
her. to he listening to the sound of
the waterfall Hunting In through the
open window upon the pulse of the
night. The move had done her good,
lie tlmtiuhl how heautlfiil she must
hnvh 1 —hn%v beautiful still.
Iter words tluf afternoon came
hack to him—the only word that hail
ever euuie to I.tin out of the past. The
ilesiie to U'lini more grew in lilin. nnd
yet lie dreaded to speak. Tin- Tron
tSray-U'oiiiiiii was not one to Invite
confidence-;. oAml yet a man ought to
know so'iieiliing of the manner of his
coining Inie ihe world. •
The nil' » had nettled to deep quiet;
the lap of 'he waterfall had swelk'1
to * i. > * -riongth upon lie silence;
when il l* nlilti door hanged open ami
a man stormed In. The Pearlliuntw
whirled t:p o':t of h!« cha'r and fncM
him.
The Intruder was a man of forty.
possibly mure. lacking somewhat of
the IVari' miter's height and massive
build, yd Mill wl.at would he called
n Ms man— tight and well set ti|>
snte.ith shaven, except for an aggres
sive niust!ie! e faintly sjiot with gray,
lie wore a »!on.-h lint, top hoots, frork
coat, am! a \ery fancy and much-bi*
flowered- m -t. His blue eyes—the
•! of blue that turns black when
roused- 1.;..| an uncomfortable knack
of se •• ting to see everything In sight.
They were .lust now llitting furtively,
a Idt c if "tii 'itsly. over the tall fig
ure of il l M-ing man facing him.
"You're 'lie fellow they call the
Pearlhmiter?"
Ti..» amy eves of the mnn addressed
were biazin. : his lingers liiaiili'e-iin^
an aimo- uncontrollable Inclination
to tuc!; then selves into Ills palms;
hut he h Id himself and answered
civilly:
"The) do call me that."
"What are you doing in this cabin?"
"Is It yours?"
"No difference whether It is. < r
whether It isn't. It's 110 place for river
scum to war h ashore."
A stranger ougnt to lie pretty sun'
of himself before lie says n thing like
that, especially when he says It the
way (lie Man-lu-the-Fancy-Vest sr.id
It. He didn't know the Pearlhunter
—not as ilie river men knew him—or
he won!'! have considered a Ion? time
first. Almost any river man along the
Wahnsh could have told hire that
things would happen. Thing* did
happen. Still. It probably would have
been just the same anyhow. A wildcat
couldn't have dodged the toil-calloused
list that stabbed across the candle
light. It caught tlio intruder flat In
the mouth and pitched him back
against the door, which slammed to
the wall, ami thus saved him from go
ing clear to the floor.
He was up in a flash. Ills hand
■dropped toward his hip. That Is al
ways a dangerous motion to make In
the Flatwoods: never more so than
just then and there. The 1'enrlhunter
had anticipated such a move. Ills
own hand reached his hip the flash of
a second ahead. The two stood eyeing
each other, crouched and tense.
There came n scream from the
Iron-Gray-Woman. She had risen
from her chair. The Pearlhunter
dared not look, but he snw the eyes of
the man he faced turning irresistibly
toward the sound. With the first
glance a startling change came over
him; his eyes strained; stared; his
hand left his hip and went to his face.
He straightened and shrank back
asnlnst the cabin door. The Pearl

Mouth.
hunter dared not look around, yet ne
know Ms mother was coming. With
n step lie would not have believed it
possible for lier to (like she was be
tween them, her face ablaze with im
perious dignity; her eyes like the pan
ther before the door of lier den. She
had shed her weakness as a mantle.
Tae intruder cowered; his lips moved.
She raised her hand anil pointed to
the door. Again he tried to speak.
Her body stiffened; her arm grew
rigid. I.Ike a man compelled to re
treat before a blaze, he half turned
and backed away.
The I'earlhunter followed him.
trailed him up the bluffs, through the
woods and out to the river road,
where It came down from the north,
right angled east and led away up the
river to the village.
When lie hurried back his mother
was again in her chair, the imperious
outburst over, spent and trembling.
She looked up at him curiously. He
thought she was about to speak. She
hesitated: looked down.
"I Im-ven't seen him for twenty
years, lie's the—tiie—other man."
The Pearlhutiter started: glanced
<|itit'k!y tit-her. She was rocking hack
and forth, the fingers of Iter thin
hands lacing mid unlacing nervously.
The breeze from the deor was gut
tering the candle. He crossed the
floor to close II. As he brought It
around, it scraped n small packet
: head of it along the floor. He picked
it up ami, after closing the dour, car
ried It to the candle. It was not big
ger than the length and width of a
man's two thumbs. and was wrapped
ia brown paper. 1 !.• unrolled it. The
first Jut as the fold fell apart and
a bit of «•!.-:It dropped upon the table,
brniicht a -tartled exclamation from
him. It v as a r"d ma«k.
The Iron-ftray-Wotnan left her
chair and entile to the table. The two
of tie 'ii slc.->.i s-arlnp down upon the
bit hi' limiting cloth.
A sudden impulse seemed to sweep
the iistiii. In voluntarily his hnml fell
for the pistol :ir his hip; he whirled
toward 'lie door. The woman clutched
his nnii. lie ciuiL'lii the appeal In hei
eyes; bowed his head; turned buck tr
the tul>le.
A tense lilt of pantomime It hnd
been, full enough of inennln™. of hti
innn interest, to anyone able to truce
back through the years the snnrled
life-threads of the actors: the two
river waifs stairlnjr down nt the mask;
the hard tnan striding away up the
river road.
The woman went haelc to her chair
and resumed" her quick, nervous rock
ing.
"And so he has come to this!" she
muttered. "My poor, poor cousin!
What must have been her fate!"
She leant forward and sat still an3
thoughtful, her face propped in her
palm. The man stood by the tnble. |
fingering the bit of cloth, his eyes,
stern and severe, still Irresistibly
drawn In the direction the Intruder
had gone.
A hall came up from the houseboat.
The sudden cry half startled thera
both, coming so cjose as It did on the
heels of that tense inomeut barely
gone. .
"It's the Toss. I promised to go
spearing with him tonight."
Stepping to the door, be opened It
and answered the hall; came back;
slid the teakettle off the fire; closed
the damper of the stove; and snuffed
the candle.
"Now, mother, don't attempt to
clear away the dishes. Leave them
till T get back. I'll only be gone a lit
tle while."
