OLDEST "CITY"- IN AMERICA

Scientists Discover Copan Burled In the Forests of Honduras, Was Once Busy Center.

You were doubtless taught that St. Augustine, Fla., 1b the oldest city In America, and

far as settlements by

Europeans are concerned that Is probably correct, but scientists know of a oity so old that there 1b no telling when it was built, and they often speak of it a* "the oldest city in America." This "city" Is Copa'n, burled In the forests of Honduras, near the Guatemala boundary line. It Is not a city In the modern sense of the word, for It Is only a heap of rutas, but there 1B enough to show that at some time centuries and centuries ago it was a busy center of population. Then the Maya Indians of Yucatan and Central America were at the height of their civilization. They built cities by constructing the bases of great pyramids out of blocks of stone of enormous size. These blocks were taken from quarries some times 'two miles distant, were conveyed to the "city" and placed In the wall In Jperfect order, and yet It 1b not known ,that the Mayas had any machinery ifor handling such heavy material.

The pyramidal abase of Copan is built up to considerable height, and upon the flat top are placed the palaces, the altars and other smaller pyramids. From all evidence Copan was In ruins when Cortez conquered Mexico In 1C21. The Spaniard and his soldiers passed wlthlp a short distance of It and did not see the town at all, so it must have been deserted even then. And yet tfte ruins of Copan bear evidence of having lain there, burled amid the luxuriant foliage of Honduras, for ages, and only some crude Inscriptions on the rooks can give a clue to the history of the wonderful place. TheBe Inscriptions and carvings still defy solution. There are statues and Images made of rock, but they are meaningless. Copan's history Is unknown and so scientist* are Vont to speak of it as "the oldest city In America."

I An Unexpected

Dick Huntington was seated at his desk, looking over the mail. Dick was president of one of the largest clothing stores in Chicago. He had begun as errand boy and had been gradually promoted until, at the last meeting of the board of directors, Ire was elected president. Shortly after taking the office of president, he shifted Robert Patterson, one of the floor walkers, to the position of assistant manager and purchasing agent.

Bob was now In Europe, having gone there a month before to secure for the firm the latest styles In clothing. He was expected back within a short time, and, as Dick was anxious to set the men to working on the new styles, he awaited Bob's arrival with no small interest. Being at the head of the firm, his greatest desire was to make this year the greatest in the history of the clothing business.

He was busily engaged looking oveiv his mall that morning and had nearly finished, when he heard a rap on his door. At his request, the door was opened, admitting a messenger boy. He handed Dick a telegram and left the ofllce.

Dick glanced at the telegram anil found it to be from Bob. He hastily tore open the envelope and read the following message addressed tii:him personally:

"Will be back Thursday. Married. Everything O. K. fibh." Dick, after reading the message, "sat back in his chair and had a hearty laugh over the news. He rang the bell for +he stenographer.

Dorothy Wilcox entered the private office. She was a pretty girl about 25 years of age and she came from a l.ighly respected family. "Miss Wilcox, I have just received a telegram. It contains the best piece of news I have heard for a long time. Bob Patterson is coming back next Thursday. He will be accompanied by his wife."

To Dick's surprise Dorothy let the shorthand book fall from her hand Her face grew almost as white as her shirtwaist.

The news had almoBt stunned her, for she and Bob had Becretly become engaged and were to have been married In August. She loved him and had always believed that he loved her but now, while he was in Europe, he had met another girl and married her. Could she bear the shock?

It was hard for her, but she was determined not to break down over It. She took the shorthand book which Dick had picked up and, taking a seat at the desk, made ready for dictation.

The next few days passed quickly and before Dick knew it it was Thursday. The train upon which Bob was to arrive was an hour late and did not pull in until 1:30 in the afternoon. Dick had requested all the employees to be at the station at the arrival of the bride and groom and give them a warm reception.

He had appointed Miss Wilcox, not knowing of her relations to Robert, to act as head of the reception committee at the gate. She did not wish to'do this, but Dick was one of those men who is always kind to his employees, but when he said a thing he wanted it done. Therefore, dreading it even as she did, Dorothy decided to obey her employer and do his bidding.

About 1 o'clock the employees of the firm began to assemble at the station. They kept on coming until, at 1:30, they were all there. The carriage arrived, decorated for the occasion. A large sign was fastened on the back, reading, "Just married," and several strings of shoes were dragging after it.

The employees formed in two lines from the gate to the carriage. One of the lines was headed by Miss "Wilcox and the other by the floor walker. Thus arranged, they awaited the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Patterson!

They did not have to wait long. The train soon pulled in. Now was Dorothy's test. Would she break down? She felt as if she could not stand a moment longer. Her heart was nearly broken it beat wildly within her. But—she would at least hold out until Bob was driven away in the carriage. With this decision, she waited silently.

Presently, Bob was seen approaching the gate. He was alone. Where was his wife? Everyone was puzzled. When he came to the gate, he was surprised at seeing everyone waiting for him. What did it mean Why this celebration? He was quickly asked where his wife was and he was taken unawares. His wife? Where had the news originated He asked for an explanation and was told of the telegram which Dick had received. He soon solved the problem. A friend In Europe, wishing to play a Joke on him, had sent that telegram. He was Dot-married. It was all a Joke. "Dick," he said, "there is no Mrs. Patterson—at present—but there Boon will be one," and to the surprise of all, he walked over to Dorothy and, taking her by the arm, led her through the two lines of employees and Into the carriage. He directed the driver to the parson's home, and, inBid* of an hour, Dorothy, who, a short tlm£ before had believed her heart to be broken, was being held tightly in her husband's arms, the happiest woman In the world.
