MEPHISTO'S RING.
A Jewel That Bears a Deadly Repute-
tion In Spain. •
It seems strange to read In these
days of a ring which .is believed to
have an evil influence over its owner
and which is known as "Mephisto's
ring."
Yet such a ring exists and until re-
cent years was In possession .of the
Spanish royal? family. The ring is. set
with a very large emerald, in the cen-
ter of which is inserted a ruby.
It Is first heard of in the sixteenth
century, since when the kings - who
owned it have suffered disasters uniim-
ited, while the whole country has grad-*
•rally sunk from Its fernier eminent no-.
When the late Hispano -American
war broke out the ring was presented
to a church. The sacred, building short-
ly after was destroyed by fire: •
The next resting place of the 'ring,'
was a museum. which was twice
struck by lightning while holding .the
til omened jewel.
The fatal ring has now, It Is said.
been packed in a strong box and se-
curely buried. It remains to be seen„
whether this will finally put an end
to its "mystic" power. • •

• As the sound or sleigh bells broke
the quiet of the room Mies Mercer
! inched her teeth to keep back threat.
•ining team
•
"I couldn't stand on that loot for one
minute. let alone dance," she exclaimed
'to her younger sisters governess,. who ,
stood slim and silent before the fire, . '
• "I am truly sorry," the latter replied,
"dane salt you bent for apie to help you.
What can I do?
"Take my place pas the minuet."
"Oh, no—no; 1 couldn't do that:"
"You'll have. to,". groaned Miss Mer..
cer, with decision. Being fond of 'Au.
gusta. Park, she treated the young;de-,
pendent with. confldence'and consider..
Strop beyond her position, but expected
in return cheerful yielding to her own:
whims or comfort. ""1'11 write to Aunt
Enid explaining the accident to my
ankle and that you will take my place,
so that the dance need not be aban-
doned. It's fortunate you played for
some of the rehearsals and can wear
rn gown."
"I really cannot:" Genuine distress
rang in the protest. "The dancers'are
all your friends. I am not in society"--
"When I wanted you to play the
other night you made no fuss. Regard
it as an act of charity If it helps you,
but go," • -
. "Not.to Mrs..Vitzray's. I won't enter
her doors"-- '
The invalid raised herself on her el-
bow, regarding in astonishment the
flushed cheeks of the other girl,
"That sounds as 11 you bete some
sort of grudge, against aunty. ,and I
doubt if you ever met her," • •
Augusta shook her head, "Don't be
.a goose then:" Miss Mercer shifted her
cushions with a .little moue of. pain.
• "Bring that low chair and let me talk
in you. Now listen," she coaxed, when
hhr:directions were obeyed. "It would
be wickedly selfish not'to save the sit
•nation. Aunty's- masked ball has been
looked forward to as one of the events
of the season. Our minuet of . "holly
and 'mistletoe' is to be the piece.dlae.. re-
sistance. Aunty will never forgive me_
.If Im athe cause of its being cut out."
"It• •wouid: be ridiculous for one' in
my position to take part In It."- ob-
jeeted the governess. `
• "Who will know or. care so long as.
they get their fun?' ' • •
"If 'it were only somewhere else,".
Augusta faltered,; whereupon • Miss
Mercer.turned the averted faee toward
her,.' holding it firmly by the chin to
sttxly the expression.
"You are keeping something back,"
h
she.accused:"Beaccuse,honee st.,.:.

the lounge, to drop back, 'breathing
quickly.. "So you're the girt,"..shesaid.;

—forever with a snatch of a love

When the boys waken they mount
their saddle -horses and lope off across
the prairie in search of fresh water.
We lazily watch the long, graceful
bounds of the horses through the
flank -reaching grass. The motion
hints hauntingly of beautiful, pleas-
ing, solemn pipe organ strains, or of
strong; swinging lines from the grand-
er poets. These horses of the prairie
seem altogether to belong to the age
of Homer and heroes and gods --they
are so full of life and grace and
strength, For a moment the riders
halt outlined against the sunlight • on
the brow of a distant butte,' then they
vanish. The sun is an hour lower

The herder. who had seen no human
face for three weeks, received us with
a sheepish, scaredsort of welcome.
He produced generous quantities of
sour dough" bread and choice lamb,
and the men prepared supper upon
the . grass while, we girls rearranged
our hair . and. bathed our burnt faces.
What a merry, informal meal we had !
The sun was low down, the horses
were cooling themselves standing in
the lake, while away beyond on the
hillside. the sheep were peacefully
grazing.
When the horses had again been
hooked up we left the shepherd and
his dog standing lonelily at the camp
door and we pulled on still eastward.
Behind us. was , all . brightness as of
the open portals of heaven—before
us the curtains of night had already
drooped,. In the darkening blue -black
sky the silent stars , came out, and
'then lower down at the horizon's
verge there flamed . tip• the weird, '
ghastly lights of. prairie fires. We
huddled closed to each ,other for corn-
panionship and quoted snatches of all
the poems we could recall which fit-
ted into such an eerie setting. Riding
ever eastward. we watched a pale,
hay-coloredmoon break her way
through the clouds. bleaching the
prairie grass and throwing a mystical
softness not to be called light, over all
the evening. ' Then we sang, first
rag -time, :then college -time, then
