SUSPICION IS DANGEROUS. ,
How easy it is to suspect some- >
one of something. How prone
most of us are to commit this se
rious fault. We do not intend tc
wrong anybody and yet we seem
ingly forget that this is the very
thing we are doing.
Just because we think that some
thing or somebody is not to our
way of thinking is no reason why
we should discredit them, and
thereby perchance do an irrepara
ble harm.
How much easier it is to look ap
provingly upon everything that it
seemingly right, and only change
your opinion when you see indica
tions of something suggestive of
wrong.
If we are suspicious of almost
everything and everybody, we are
in a pitiable state and cannot do
justice under any condition. Our
natures will become shrunken, and
in time we will- look upon the sun
and moon with suspicious'eyes.
Can you imagine any more un
lovable character than that of the
individual who cannot trust any
thing that he sees or hears? How
unhappy he must be and how
miserable he can make everybody
else. And in being suspicious he
does not really wish to be so. but
he has just allowed himself to be
come a "doubting Thomas" until he
can hardly trust himself.
It is much easier and much bet
ter to trust and believe. Just try
it and be happy, and make those
around you happier too.—Ex.

That Is Gold
Which Is
Worth Gold
By AMEDEE ARCHARD
(Copyright by Short Stories Co., Ltd.)
On Easter day of the year 1510 a
great crowd thronged in the neigh
borhood of the Annunciade. The hells
of Seville’s hundred churches rang a
full peal and in the streets was vis
ible a crowd of men of the people and
gentlemen piously occupied with the
things of religion. But the things of
gallantry lost nothing thereby; each
mantilla lifted by the breeze let pass
the flame of a regard, and a thousand
little feet showed themselves in slip
pers of black satin.
At the moment when the people
buzzed like a swarm of bees around
the I .nuneiade. a Christian hive
sparkling with a thousand fires and
filled with perfumes and melodies, a
cavalier and a young lady mot under
the porch of the church.
The cavalier marched proudly, his
hat to one side, a cloak on his shoul
der, one hand upon the guard of his
sword and the other caressing a
proud mustache trained in the Cas
tilian fashion. He was alone, without
equerry or page.
The young lady was followed by an
old duenna who was by far the most
frowning personage visible between
Cadiz and Jaen. The duenna was
muttering between the long flaps of
her head-dress, her nose upon a book
if prayers. The lady, on seeing the
cavalier, wished to bring back her
veil, which a gust of wind had thrown
o one side, but she displayed such
iwkwardness in doing it that with the
gesture she exposed a face sufiicient
y ravishing to excite the envy of all
he ladies of Seville.
The cavalier stopped short; then,
aklng off his hat, whose plume went
o sweep tlie ground, he bowed.
“If I were king,” said he, “you
vould be queen.”
The young lady blushed like a
jomegranate in flower and hastened
o lower the veil, but not quickly
mough to prevent the gentleman
'rom observing that she had eyes
softer than those of the gazelle and
srilliant as diamonds.
The duenna raaised her nose and
teeing a ye man planted before
her, with sn. g lips and mustache
pointed, took her companion’s arm
ind drew her away.
“By St. Jacques,” said she, "it is no
onger safe in the streets of Seville!
f I was the alcalde I would send to
he other world all these fine gallants
vho attach themselves unasked to the 1
leels of women.”
The fair young Andalusian 1
hought within herself that it would ;
e very unfortunate to expedite so 1
ar such a gallant cavalier, but she '
eassured herself on seeing him from '
he corner of the eye take the same 1
oad which she was following with (
er duenna, and march behind them.
When one is from Seville, when one *
s 16, and when one is followed
hrough the streets by a handsome 1
roung man—what can one do but '
mild air castles? The cavalier had
uch a grand air, so much audacity in 1
he glance, such a proud deportment,
hat he must surely be a great lord
>f the court of old King Ferdinand,
rhe plume on his hat was. indeed, a ;
tttle faded, his doublet seemed quite !
frayed, but he might be also j
some companion of young Don Carlos ,
if Austria, arrived the evening before 1
it Cadiz by the galleys from Genoa;
t pleased him, no doubt, to travel in- !
ognlto. Whither does not the iinag
nation of a young girl go as soon as
<he abandons herself to reverfhs?
She had not crossed the half of the
distance which separated her from
her home than she already saw her
self at Madrid in the king's palace,
with a long gold brocaded dress.
As to the cavalier, he confined him
■elf to looking with an amorous eye
it the slender waist of the fair un
tnown, her carriage, whose grace and
ightness gave her the amiable appear
mce of a child; the gracious curve Of
he neck appeared to him also the
nost charming imaginable, and when
;t the turn of a street he discovered
mew her virginal profile softly il
lumined by a smile and a glance, he
?steemed himself the happiest of
■Spaniards.
Ten minutes after the exit from the
\nnunciade the duenna and her com
lanton passed the threshold of a
mndsome house situated in one of
he finest quarters of the city. The
avalier quickened his pace, but the
ioor quickly thrust back by the
luenna brusquely closed in front of
him.
“The devil take the old girl!” ex
■laimed the cavalier, stamping with
his boot heel against the stone. Tint
the conclusion of his orison expired
between his teeth when, on raising
his eyes, he saw glide between the
narrow openings in a shutter a white
hand which delicately held a branch
of jasmine.
The cavalier left the door and ad
vanced toward the window; the per
fumed branch fell and the hand disap
peared.
Our handsome young man was too
much of a Spaniard to be ignorant of
the fact that, in the symbolic Idiom
taught by the Moors to his ancestors, '
the perfumed flowers of the jasmine
permit to hope lie bore the flowers
to his lips and moved away. Never
had his step been more proud, never
so many sparks had shone in his
glance. He would willingly have fas
tened the lucky branch to his hat, and
if the illustrious Ximeneesde Cimeros
had offered him the grand mastership
of Calatiara for this green branch
with snowy stars, he would have cer
tainly scorned the grand mastership
and dismissed the venerable arch
bishop.
When he was at the end of the
,troct. the cavalier first slackened his
once, and finally stopped. He seemed
to reflect for a moment, his glance
turned toward the shutter; then, as if
lie had just taken a sudden resolution,
he turned back and walked deliberate
ly toward the house whose door had,
a quarter of an hour previous, so
brusquely closed in his face.
The cavalier adjusted his gray felt,
gave to his cloak a gallant turn,
slipped the branch of jasmine under
his doublet, seized the heavy knocker
and let it fall vigorously.
The duenna opened,
“Jesus,” said she, on recognizing
the cavalier. And she attempted to
quickly close the door, but it was too
late; the cavalier had crossed tlie
stone step which separated it from
the street.
"Your master?" said he.
The young man's glance was so de
termined that the old lady could not
refrain from lowering her eyes.
"It is the devil!” she thought while
touching with her fingers the ivory
beads of a chaplet.
“Your master?" repeated the young
man in a louder voice.
"Enter, senor cavalier,” replied the
frightened duenna. And she intro
duced the unknown into a low hall
tapestried with Cordova leather,
where a short man was playing at
ombre with a prebendary.
In one corner of the room, seated
near window opening upon a beauti
fill garden, was a young woman.
Though the cavalier could only see
her hack, a secret movement of his
heart caused him to recognize the
lady of the Annuncit^de.
The short fat man rose up at the
noise which the duenna made on
opening the door.
“By Satan!—if I am permitted to
speak this cursed name on this holy
day—” he exclaimed, “you enter very
malapropos. Dame Incarnation. I had
Epadille, Manilla and Foil to! What
do you want with me?”
"It is a stranger who desires to
speak with your lordship.”
“Well, let him speak.”
“Before informing you of the sub
ject which brings me, permit me,
senor, to ask you to whom I have the
honor to speak?” said the young
cavalier.
“Who does not know the very hon
prable Don Giacomo Ignatius Pablo
tie Carrtseo y Veluspa y Debarron,
rich merchant in silks, sergeant in
Ihe Holy Hermandad?” exclaimed the
prebendary.
“Senor priest, I thank you,” said
he cavalier. Then turning to the
nerchant, he added:
“I am charmed, Senor Don Giacomo
gnatius Pablo de Carrisco y Veluspa
' Debarron, to have the certitude that
have entered the house of an hon
st man. It encourages me to ask you
f you will accept me for son-in-law,
n according to me the hand of your
laughter.”
At this brusque declaration, the
tupefaction was general among the
;uests. The young lady—who had
lalf turned round during the cava
ier's discourse—bent her head over
ler bosom, red as a strawberry, mo
ionless as a statue; the duenna
•aised her eyes to heaven and took
>t. Pamphilires to witness that she
lad never seen a rascal so deter
nined; the prebendary joined hands
md opened wide his eyes, and the
nerchant drew himself up to the full
peight of his short stature.
The very worthy Senor Don Gia
como de Carrisco y Veluspa y Debar
a 1111 ii^
so lightly spoken of.
“Senor Cavalier,” he replied, after a
moment's silence, “will yon do me the
honor to name yourself?”
“It is too just for me to refuse. I
have always heard my mother say
that my godfather had given me in
the cradle the name of Fernando.”
"Feriundo or Don Fernando as you
wish; hut I do not guarantee the
don.”
At this deelaration the worthy mer
chant shook his head; the young lady
frowned and pursed her lips.
“Ah come! Senor Fenando, you
who pretend to the hand of my daugh
ter. Dona Jacyntha. here present—you
have something at least, a chateau
in Andalusia, stores at Cadiz, or some
archbishopric in your family?” re
sponded the merchant.
“If my father has ever had a
chateau, the Moors have no doubt
burned it; but I have never been told
that, among the stores at Cadiz, any
one of them belonged to me, and 1 do
not know of an archbishopric in my
family unless his holiness the pope
has called me since yesterday to the
siege of Granada.
Here Dame Incarnation made the
sign of the cross, the prebendary
asked himself if by chance Senor
Fernando was not some unconverted
and disguised Moor.
“Ah come! but what have you then
which is yours?" exclaimed Don Gia
como de Carrisco y Veluspa y Lebar
ron.
“I have my sword.” replied the cav
alier, proudly.
At this moment a young man en
tered the room. ITe wore a rich cos
tume in bad taste, and a great sword
ung at bis side.
Don Ginccmo ran to him and
braced him.
