Two Seeming Paradosei.
It may seem paradoxical to nnert
tbat the most precious thing la the
?'heapesl? In dollars aud cents? and the
most useless th I mm la I bo dearest. Yet
current figures furnish proof tbat botlf
statements are entirely accurate.
It will out be questioned tbat the
must prodtable achievement Is the sav
ing of human life. It seems to be
also the least exjienalvo. Down at
Pauiima. tor example. Colonel Uorgas
ami his aids have effected a wonderful
saving of buuiai) life by transforming
what was one of the highest death
rates In the world to one of the low
est. Tbu actual cost of tbl> work Is
accurately tlgured out to bo only $2.43
for each life saved.
Ou thu other hand. Id modern war
fare II coats an average of about $13, ?
000 to kill each man. - In the Boer war
It cost nearly $-10,000, and In tbe pres
ent Balkan war, which has been
waged very economically. It baa coat
probably more than $10,000. Seeing
, that there la nothing mora waateful
than (ho destruction of human Uvea, It
would be a coatly performance for tbu
world If It were doui* without expense.
At $15,000 a bead It Is monstrously
profligate.
Suppose that what Is spent for actu
ally or |K>tcntlally destroying lives
wore B|K>nt for saving them. Wbat
might not be accomplished 7 Actuaries
estimate tli.it $ I. .100, 000,000 la a con
servative estimate of the economic val
ue of lives which are loat needlessly
each year In Hie United States alone.
To turn a part of the war fund to thu
saving of those lives at $2.43 apiece
might bo good buslnr.ts.

During tbe recont transition of tbe
government of Mexico, In a suburban
village lived two families, oue of
whom, tbe Fernandez, favored tbo gov
ernment, while tbe other, the Molina*,
were known to bo revolutionary sym
pathizers.
Nevertheless, tbeso two families bad
been Intimate friends for years, and
when a revolution cumo and tbo
Mudcro government was About to be
deposed both families uiudo an ur
taugument for mutual protection. If
tbe Mndero side won then any bunted
Molina would If possible be concealed
In the Fernandez homo. If the Diaz
k dc won tbe Fernandez mlgbt seek

Youug I.euudro Fernandez, a boy of
eighteen, durlug tbo fighting for tbe
capture of tbe pollco In tbe City of
Mexico acted with tbe government
troops and when tbe end came (led to
the borne of the Mollnns. lie was of
no political Importance, but bud bit
ter enemies who desired to tako ad
vantage of the unareby that followed
the president's assassination, to be
avenged upon tbo young soldier. lie
was successful In reaching the Molina

A MEXICAN'S
FLIGHT
By ARTHUR W. BREWSTER
l.cnnuro. not reiianing remaining nm
den away In au attic or n cellar, pos
sessing fresh, rosy cheeks and being
without tbu slightest sign of a b?nrd,
resolved to make himself up as a tclrl
In order that be might go about like
other persons. Seuorltu Inez Molina,
a girl of sixteen. was about tils size
and loaned him some of bcr wardrobo.
Ills mother procured him & blond wig
und sent It to him, and wltb a little
palDt and powder bis maidenly toilet
was complete. Fie had been educated
lu New England, so was able to pass
himself off for au American girl, h
niece of Sunor and Seuora Molina.
No sooner were the revolutionary
forces victorious than youog Fernan
dez's enemies, led by one Manuel Co
sarccs, set a watch for him at bis
home, expecting to take him thereafter
the assassination of the president.
They waited for him to arrest hlra on
a forged order of the revolutionary dic
tator, bat ho did not appear. They
were about to give up, thinking that
he bad Qed to tho country, when some
of tho neighbors of the Molina* beard
thnt be was lu their bouse masquerad
ing as a girl, and, the report reaching
Cosarecs. be made Inquiries and found
that the ouly two young persons in tho
Molina fatally were Inez Molina ami
her cousin. Miss Mary Asburst of
Massachusetts.
Had tbe would be murderers been
certain thnt this supposed Mary Ash
urst was the man they wanted or had
she not poseil as au American they
would not have hesitated to take blm
out forcibly and kill him. Iiut first
they must satisfy themselves that the
girl was a man and tbe man they want
ed, and, secondly-n matter of even
more Importance? they dore not risk
troubling a citizen of tho United States
Tho Din* government was at the time
In drend of Amerlcau Intervention, and
any man commuting an outrage on an
American citizen would be severely
punished.
The C'osn roe* gnng visited the Molina
home ostensibly to msko an Inspection
"f some kind and suw Fernandez, but
did not recognize blm. though be rcc
ogulzed them. They went away evi
dently dissatisfied, and Fernandez be
lieved that as soon as they could make
up their minds to some method of
procedure they would call agnln.
It was nntural to suppose that If
they suspected him they wotild bring
n woman for the purpose of determin
ing If be were really a woman, and
uiwin tbe discovery of bis sex they
would take hltn a prisoner Into Mexi
co und shoot him oa tho way. Some
thing must be done to provide for sucb
u contingency.
. The plnn ivm hit upon ror tue two
girls to change Identities by means of
a makeup. Ine*. who w?? about the
name complexion as Fernandez, put on
the clothes he had worn during the vis
it of hi* enemies. The blond wig was
then put on, hnd she wns mnde up
with wax and cosmetics to resemble
hlni. lie, too, was tnndc up for Ine*.
True enough. the very next day after
their flint visit they came again. This
Htne they threw off the music and.
producing a forged order from tho new
recline, said they were looking for a
Madero soldier who bad assassinated
a Diac supporter. Thoy bad heard that
he was masquerading as an American
girl from Massachusetts and wished to
determine the truth of the rumor. Tbey
had brought a woman who would sat
isfy herself that the person was really
n female, and If It turned out to bo so
that would end the matter.
It was coming evening wben tbey
called, and tho lights had not been
lighted. The two girls were sitting to
gether In a corner, and Inez, now
chnnged to personate the Massachu
setts girl, aroso and accompanied the
woman to another room. In a few
minutes both returned, and the woman
reported herself satisfied. Then the
visitors went away and did not return.
Rut Fernandez thought It prudent to
take bis departure. Resuming the per
sonality of tbo Massachusetts girl, be
traveled to Vera Cruz as such and did
not chango bis garb till he boarded a
steamer bound for New York. Then
he astonished the passengers by pulling
off bis wig at tbe dinner table and ex
claiming in bis natural volco:
