Chrys May Be Cured Before the
Picture in the Hacienda’s chapel.
Several days went by before they
thought me well enough to see my sis
ter-in-law. I entered her room with
something of awe in my demeanor. What
would she be like, Ihis woman without a
sou!?
To tell the truth, she wasn t much un
like some gir'.s I had known who were
supposed to be quite normal!
She came to meet me with out
stretched arms. She kissed me. but then
was no ertiotion in her kiss, \7hat she
did was due to habit, Bob told me after-!
ward We communicated by signs and
in writing. Once her dumbness would
have driven her to suicide. 1 thought as
studied her. minus her soul, she accepted
her spe.echlessness quite tameiy. Physi
cally, she was lovelier than ever, out r:
didn’t take me long to discover that the
big intellectual interests of life whier
had absorbed her formerly had disap
peared—with her lost souk
Her thoughts were centered upon her
clothes, her food, her comforts and her
luxuries. How she regarded Certeis. 1
had no opportunity to judge.
“Bet her get back her speech, and
f’hrvs will be as charming a» most wo
men." was Bob’s comment, made when
we were alone. She Was his twin. 1
knew how ne missed her distinguished
mind and her great range of interests, her
knowledge of books ami of the arts, her
eatrerness to pick lip new ideas quickly.
Daddy Lorimer wept.
She can read her old radical nonsense
— she can be as independent as s':e
p eases—without any reproof from me. if
evt r we get her back again—our self
wiUed, stubborn Chrys." lie said.
Of course, we all wanted to go home.
But we were held in that hacienda by
'* rys* condition. Until Pqnna Camilla’s
11 was undone by Donna Camilla’s own
will, Chrvs would remain as she was, and
sve would remain at the hacienda.
h onna Camilla had been unearthed by
the explosion, it appealed. Camilla? Cer
tc- v * Or Don Manuel?
Donna Cami la had been unearthed by
tiie explosion, it appeared. Like one of
the ancient rats, she had rome scurrying
otn of her hole, that dreadful night, and
had disappeared again. A nurse reported
'o me that she bad sem her. What I had
- ispected ail along* proved true. 1 told
Lie story to ftaddy and Bob.

REVOLT AGAINST
JAPS IN KOREA
Honolulu, T. H.—(Correspondence
of The Associated Press.) —A wide
spread revolt against the Japanese is
imminent in Korea, according to th-
Tokio correspondent of the Honolulu
Commercial Advertiser. The Japanese
chief of police of .Seoul hns declared
he has documentary evidence to prove
Christian missionaries arc supporting
preparations for the uprising, which
has the warm approval of the Korean
Prince Yi 'lank, now held practical’y
a prisoner by the Japanese, the* dis
patch adds.
All news regarding Korean unrest is
subject to strict censorship, the Tokio
advices assert, but enough is said to
be leaking through to make it plain
the Koreans are prearing for a great
uprising in the near future.
Part of tile alleged proof Of the mis
sionaries’ hand in l the movement, ex
hibited by the chief of police of Seoul,
is an appeal issued from the printing
press of one mission, urging regular
prayers for the success of the Korean
national movement.
HEALTHY.
“It is healthy to breathe through jour
nose, isn’t it?" remarked the Old Fogy.
“Yes,’’ replied the Grouch. “You can’t
talk when you are breathing through
your nose.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
