A CHANGED DEYIL.

Babe Espinosa 'was the only daughterof Gavina Espinosa, "whose "vrife thesaints had called - early, and her placehad been supplied by a "woman whomBabe had been taught to call Aunt Tin-t-o.

The Bspinosas kept a small Hex-lea- n,

restaurant on Santa Zncia street,where tcrtiHas, enchiladas, tamales,red. wine and other hot stuffs "were at-tractions. Babe had heen. brought tip inthe restaurant and in the street in thegutter, if that was out of Aunt Tinto'sway though she had a faint remem-brance of a yard around an old adobe,where there "were myrtle "with big blueblossoms and broken borders of gaudyrlowers, and thinking of the adobe shethought of the myrtle, and thinking ofthe myrtle she sa"W it on a grave in aplace --where there "were many thin,"wooden crosses, some of them alwaysleaning over with a promise to jointhese that had lain down like the sleep-ers. She had teen christened Maria, "butafter some years and some slips she hadrepudiated the name as too common-place for her and had assumed the nameof her innocence because of the travestyit was. "Marias are thicker than vir-gins, said Babe, whereat her followerslaughed. These were all young men."Women did not like Babe and she didnot like women.

Babe was wiry, square shouldered andslim waist ecL She attracted, attentionwherever she went. Everything she didwas denewitthis in the vista, and shewould hate succeeded had she onlyposed as prtrcriery. The conformationof ,her supraorbital region caused theother "M"gry to accuse her cf the evileye. Her hair, worn old style, partedin the middle and carried down overher ears, was black and only lesscoarse than the mane of a mustang, andher hair and eyes would have been ob-

served in any aggregation.Babe had a familiar, one Yico Eot-taru- d,

the hunchback of die Pocket. ThePocket was a haunt of ill repute, a clus-ter of old, low tenements in the center ofa block where there were houses facingthe sidewalk in the regulation civicway. Yico was tall for a hunchback-owin-g

to his very long legs. Bate wasso strong that she could put a hand un-der either hump and lift Yico about,while his lone less dansled like a ragdoITs.

will and at all hours. ""The devil andthe devil's own," Babe raid of them,and the Marias said, spite of her sex,the devil was Babe.

Often they passed old Mateo Tiverosand his tamaie stand. Sometimes theyflouted the old man. Sometimes theywheedled him out of a tamaie by prom-ises cf sweet verba santa. sometimes se--cured it by mere bold banter, but onenight late, when there was no mcon andold Mateo's red lantern, low and smoky, j

cast alight that would hardly have denefor a photographer's darkroom and Babeand Yico were hold with bad wine, awhim struck Babe to upset old Mateoand his outfit.

A whisper to Yico wen him to thescheme, and in a few twinklings t!elantern oil had spread itself a la mayon-naise upen the outer husks of the fewtamales remaining in the steamer. ToBabe's surprise Yico lay in the mayon-naise, and she found the night air coolupon her spine, for old Mateo had dis-posed of Yico with a single left handerand with a stroke of a sharp knife hadripped Babe's clothing from neck torslst. Babe wet her dress skirt at the

fouHchtt, tore off Yico's collar, openedhis shirSsand mopped his face, neck andbreast till cdctciousness returned. Thenshe took off hiseeat, threw it aroundher shoulders, burconeolHieJbuttci!, gotYico on his feet and half led," half car-ried him home and put him to bed.

She thought of smelling salts for Yicoand began to rummage for a green hot-ti- e

with an oroide top that had once

she looked in another, when, feelingsomething unusual in the old zinctrunk, she drew it forth and shudderedtill the split clothing slipped down onher tawny shoulders as she saw a wood-en cross with an ivory figure in fixedcontortion upon it. Then she remem-bered that once upon a time she hadstood by an old chest when her fatherfound the crucifix, and he, too, hadtrembled.

"Who is it?" she had asked."One Jesus' her father had said.

"He was your grandmother's. He is adead man, and the dead are as earthand air and water. I will have nothingof this Jesus."

He threw the Jesus in the strong box,then heaped clothing upon it and jump-ed in and stamped upon it-W-

hy

had he not thrown it away;Another day she had meant to do so,

for she smothered, when she thought ofthat yellow, hurt looking man, bleed-

ing and nailed and trampled under theclothing in the tight box. She had gonewith creeping flesh and got him out.

"Why had she not thrown him away?"Why had she forgotten him? Strange itseemed to her, that nsoan of Yico's atthat moment, "Jesus, mercy my 3e-u- s,

mercy my poor head.Her grandmother had kept Jesus by

her. Had he done something for her:"Would he do something for Yico? Shecould not bear to look at him even inthe dim light, bst she laid him cn Yi-co's breast asd took Yico's hands and"put them upon Mm.

In the gray of morning Babe came tcherself in the old porch. She looked ipiher father. te was not there, neitherwas the wide rocker. Had they realljbeen there? Babe lav and thousht."When she got up, she was a changwoman.

She bathed Yico's face and hands.He could not rise. She Drought breakfast for him and served it with the onljpure womanly tenderness that had ever"been spontaneous with her. Yico attand afterward slept. She mothered himall day. He did not understand Babe'snew whim. Late in the afternoon herose and dressed, wondering what heievening mood would be.

She would not let him go till he haceaten food brought with her new graceThev ate together, and when he fellnew ajrain and wholly well fed anccomfortable he put his arms arcaneBabe and kissed her. She put her armsaround him and kissed him, too, as sgood woman might have done.

"I am going to be good, Yico." shesaid. Yico had felt her strength whershe was bad to him. and he was not iTpleased. ".Let's both bo good, Yicoshe went cn. "Let's go to the priestand be married. "

Yico was so much astounded that litook her arms from around him. Etlooked at her. Yes. she meant it. Yiccwas as much an inheritance as any oneof his traits. He was the pre duct of atancestry of inconstant men.

Yico laughed.That the accustomed anger did not

blaze from her eyes made him laugiconsumedly, and when a tsir stoledown her cheek the situation becameamusing beyond all things.

Yico laughed.The echoes of his evil mirth came

TC fAST SIXTY DAYS.

2&M Coppsse of Columbus Eipccta toUreal; ATI Fre-srioo- KecenLi.

Miss Helen Alice Coppage, who saysshe will break all fasting records, arrivedin 2few York recently from Columbus,O She expects to fast 60 days. Herprincipal reason far attempting the featof endurance-- she says, is to show that"a woman can do everything that artfln can da." She hopes, however, todo better in the fasting line than anyman has ever done because she thinksshe will be able to hold out longer thanGiovanni Succi did, who lived 5S daysand two hours without food. Dr. H. H.Tanner's fast lasted from June --8 toAug. 7.

Miss Coppage is 27 years old and goodlooking. She has not been weighed re-

cently, "but tHTtre that if she were tostep on a scale now about 175 poundswould be indicated Professionally thecorning faster feat is the first one MissCoppage has attempted. Twice before,however, she has fasted far long peri-ods. One of these tests occurred in Pitts-burg in April, 1S93, and lasted 31 days.The other took place in Cincinnati, inOctober, IS95, and lasted only 24 days.

According to her plans, Miss Coppagewill begin with her period, of fasting onDec 6. A public hall the exact placefcis not yet been decided upon is to berented for the purpose of permitting thefaster's condition to he seen by the gen-

eral public as she. proceeds with thetrial of endurance.

Miss Coppage is the daughter of acontractor who lives in a little town inWest Yirginia. She was led to test herability as a faster by beginning to dietfor the purpose cf reducing ierfiesc- -

AS ISLAM) 10MASCE.

An- - old traveler who, as special correspondent, story writer and theatricalmanager, has visited nearly every partof the globe, in the person of J. CharlesDavis, is now here for the purpose ofpaving the way for J. Cheever Goodwinand "Woolsan Morse's musical comedy."Lost, Strayed or Stolen." He thus describes one of the odd corners of theworld

Probably the quaintest and most interesting island that dots the waters cithe world is what was known until after the last English victory over theFrench as the Isle deFrance. - It is Manritins, French in everything""but government, which is English.

3Iauritius is the home of romance anda veritable gold mine for the story tellerand novel writer. It is the scene of goodold Father St. PierreTs "Paul and Yirginia," and the visiter to Peart Louis,the metropolis and principal seaport,who would attempt to leave the islandwithout driving out and visiting thegrave of Paul and Yirginia would beconsidered an enromantic, unsympathetic heathen. It is situated in a peaceful valley and reached by a short drivefrom the capital.

This little island is one of the mostcosmopolitan places in existence.French, English,, German, Spanish,Italian and a few American merchantsare engaged in business in the bazaarsalong the water front, while Africans,Malays, Persians, the natives of .Madagascar, coolies from the Malabar coast.Moors from the strait of Gibraltar andthe natives of upper India elbow eachother in the market places, and onehears the language of every land in ahalf dozen blocks.

The superstitions of every countryand the weird tales growing out of thetraditions of all lands have beenbrought to the island, taken root andgrown to be observed by the lowerclasses of all nations, and consequentlythe island has become the favorite hunt-ing ground of the story teller in searchof genuine novelty, particularly in theweird and mysterious vein. Besant and"Rice obtained the story of "My LittleGirl" from Mauritius. It was here thatthe story of the "Coco de Mere" had itsbirth. Here the legend of the enchantedcaverns yawning for the reception olshipwrecked sailGrs, with their twegates, one leading- - to the celestial em- -

pire and the other to hades, is repeatedand believed, and those who cross theisland to its northern and most inhabit-ed shore can see two great openings,the bottom of each being below the lowwater mark and the top being highenough to sdiait the rigging of a sail-ing vessel, awaiting for him to choosewhich, way he will go, but with ncguidepost or trademark to assist himin his choice.

Although the government of Mauri-tius is English the official language isFrench, and in order to travel withoutinconvenience one must speak it well,but in order to get at the weird andmysterious it is necessary to have aninterpreter who is an East Tndian andwho appreciates the value of getting atthe bottom of a subject after havingonce entered into it. While returningfrcra a visit to the famous gardens ofCnrpepe I halted at a little refreshmenthouse, and in conversation with- - theproprietor discovered that he was notonly an old resident, but a man wellversed in the folklore of the island andone who would talk if allowed to.

It is needless to say that I allowedhim to, and while we were enjoyingseme really delicious Manilla cheroot?under the shade of a great banyan tree,just back of his house, he told me thefollowing story:

Shortly after it became impossiblefor many inemhers of the old Frenchnobility to live comfortably in la belleFrance a country nobleman, accom-panied only by tbe young and beautifuldaughter, left the mother country be-hind and arrived at Port Louis with lit-tle excepting the family jewels, plate-an-

honor. The father and daughterbrought with them an old priest whohad been dinette's instructor and al-

most constant companion since thechild's dying mother consded her whilebut a toddling infant to the good oldman's care "With a few house servantsthe count set up a modest establishmenton the northern part cf the island, pur-chased a small plantation and began thecultivation of sugar cane, which is theprincipal industry of the country.

Under the fostering care of her father,the priest and the old family servantsNinette grew to womanhood withouthaving often crossed the boundary linesof the little plantation on which theylived. Her favorite recreation was read-ing, and she indulged this education ofpastime in a bowerlike nook on the veryface of the cliff overhanging the ocean.Here she would spend the delightfullybalmy afternoons watching the nativecraft either going to- - sea, sailing awayinto the "blue distance until their lateensails looked like the wings of a flock ofsea gulls or coming up out of the bluewaters of the Indian ocean and crowinglarger and more distinct until the songsOl the native sailors could be distinctlyheard in her cliff ton nook.

She reached the age of 19 when ernemorning she encountered a young stranger in the person of the son of awealthyplanter who lived many miles over theother side cf the mountain and who,while pursuing his favorite pastime cfshooting red winged partridges, hadscaled the cliff and. following; his dogs,almost strrmblf d into Ninette's retreat.The young man, after apologizing, withdrew hastily, but his dogs, enjoying the '

caresses cf the timid but delighted girl, ;

refused to answer his call, and he wasobliged to return to induce them to fol-- j

low him.From this incident there crew an ac

quaintance as carefully conducted asthe strictest rules of the old French ?

family conduct would prescribe. Andone morning the count was scraewhafcsurprised to-- receive a visit from theyoung man's father and mother, who

had driven from the extreme end cf theisland for the purpose cf introducingthemselves and requesting: permissionfor their son to pay his addresses to Ni-nette. The motherless child was intro-duced to the woman who desired to heher mother-at-Ia-w and her husband.Family history and family matterswere discussed at length, and the plant-er and his wife did not depart until thedesired consent had been obtained. Aft-er tM the young couple were betroth-ed, the engagement duly announced,and at the expiration cf nearly a yearthe date of the marriage set and madepublic, when one day Ninette, whilereading in her favorite nook, was over-taken by one cf those fierce storms forwhich the island is famous, and in attempting to regain the top cf the hillslipped and fell down through the tangled unaerbrush, cut and scarred bvjagged rocks, to the sands below. Hereshe was found by friends, who werealarmed at the storm and her absenceand started, cut to search forher.

She was carried heme almost lifeless,and for several days hovered betweenlife and death, until the vigor of youthenabled her to recover sufSeiently tounderstand the terrible accident thathad befallen her. Her once beautifulfeatures were so cut and scarred thatafter one horrified Icok into a hand mirror the poor girl turned away, sent forher father and announced her intentionof entering a convent as seen as she waswell enough to do so. "

The almost distracted lover had rid-den over from his mountain home davafter day to inquire after her cenditioc."FTTy parents had made repeated calls,and kind hearted strangers hitherto ereluded from the count's domain bv thecold, exclusive disposition cf its ownernow came and offered sympathy and asistance daily. As soon as the attendingphysician decided that Ninette hadEufncientlv recovered to be able to bearan interview with her lover without serious results tne almost rranuc youngman presented himself, only to be tearfully informed bythe old count that hisdaughter desired him tc convey her rndying love with every assurance that itwould remain rachnnged until death,but that as th? fearful accident that shehad metwith had disfigured her so thatshe was confident she could not surviveHenri's expression of hcrrcr when helooked upon kerpcicormutiiated featuresshe would beg him tc remember her ashe saw her last, and that she would evercherish his memory in the convent retreat that she desired to be conveyed tcas scon as her ht alth would permit.

fcaoiv ana siKutir the voumz mantook his departure,, to return two dayslater, when he can.e instead of on horseback, as was his went, in the clumsyold family carriage, from which he wasassisted to alight by a favorite servant,when he said to the astonished count"Take mc to your daughter. Tell hexthat the changes in her feature's I cannever know. She will always be asweet and beautiful to me as when Isaw her last- - I shall never see heragain, Lut cannot live without so-

ciety. Take me to her. the will see uglooks cf hcrrcr. for I am blind."

Henri, after leaving the count's door,had ridden to Lis own home. taken alast Icok at the scene that he had Ic?edsince bcyhocd, and then sunrmcned aHindoo fakir, and after a lens consultation submitted to a painful operationthat deprived him cf his sight forever.The devotion that could not exist out-side the atmosphere of mystery and su-perstition that hangs heavily over thelittle island was rewarded, and the de-scendants cf Henri and. Ninette nowlive in the beautiful little valley backof the capital and tell of the veiled wo-man who conducted the blind planterover his estate, and who was his guideand companion until both were laid tcrest near the scene of their first meet-ing, where a marble tablet set in theside of the cliff marks the snot andmakes it almost sacred to the residentsof the island.

I returned to the city, and it was sev-eral days before I wasatle to complete-ly shake off the mdcscribable impres-sion caused Ly what the eld innkeeperstoutly asserted was a tree story of thelove of Henri and Ninette. San Fran-cisco Chronicle.

His Oyts Idea. .It is said that General Crittenden used

to tell with great glee a story of the re-ply once made to him by his son, thtna little boy of 8 or 0 years.

A day or two after the battle ofChickamauga the little fellow went intocamp. The general rode during the bat-tle a horse which went by the name cfJohn Jay, a great favorite with hissmall son. The child showed great de-

light at seeing his father again, but alast, in the midst of a vigorous hug, heasked suddenly:

"Papa, where is John Jay;""Ob," said his father gravely, "your

horse behaved very badly during thefight. He insisted, like a coward, ontaking me to the rear."

The boy looked at him searchingiyfor an instant. Then his eyes gleamed,and he held up a remonstrant little fin-ger, pointing it at his parent.

"Papa," said he severely, "I knowJohn Jay would never have done that ofhis own wilL It must have been yourwcrk."

"There seemed to be nothing for meto say," the general usually remarkedin conclusion, "and consequently I for-bore to argue the matter." Youth'sCompanion.
