quest, sincerity hoping that all who can will be

A quarter of a century or more has rolled on

bands of friends, and no more favorable op-
portunity will probably ever occur again for n
meeting TO renew the old friendship so strong
~ cemented by the hardships and Vicissitudes
of a war in which we faithfully performed the
part assigned to US.

and each with fuse inside.
These efigies, little and big, are all
alike ugly in the face, and are all
named Judas. On the day before Easter
Sunday the balconies that run around
the open court or patio, which is inside
Of every Mexican house, are adorned
with string Of limp-looking Judases
hung by tho neck. Everywhere on the
street they dangle from tho iron railings
OF the window balconies, and even in

They hang forlornly behind tho carts

bling immodcrately, showing him to q
tiny chamber on the top EooE When
ho came downstairs in the morning to
pay his bill the clerk politely requested
him to register, formality that had
been neglected. Certainly he would
comply, and with determination,
formed in flash, to sail under true col
ors, he wrote his name and addreee with
. bold, legible hand. Then he stood be-
fore the window, apparently gazing idly
into tho street, really absorbed In form

flee. He waited until Lawrence had
withdrawn from the counter and then
began industriously to copy the names
and addresses from the big book. The
clerk greeted him jocularly:
"Well, Jimmy, what's the news to-
day9H
Read the Evening Dispatch and find
out" was the smart reply,
This brilliant rcparteo had done serv-
ice for opening the conversation be-
tween the clerk and the shrewd young
man daily for many months, and 1t is
probably SO serving still. There is moth
ing like having witty retort that is
warranted not to wear out.
The young man copied rapidly down
tho page until he came to the last page.
Thon he paused and scowled an instant,
after which he wrote Lawrence Drane,

slowly, and turned about slyly to scru-
tinizc tho broad back OF tho gentleman

"Any thing up, Jimmy?" asked the
clerk, observing this action.
Jimmy winked and nodded mysteri-
ously, and began to search among the
newspapers lying on tho writing table.
Presently he found New York paper
OF the day before and turned 70 the ac-
count Of Mr.. Drane's escape and the re-
ward offered for his capture.
81 thought so!' he said, with tri-
umphant grin, while tho clerk looked
on In undisguised curiosity. Jimmy
gave him no comfort. Instead, he
heightened tho clerks emotion by sit
ting down where he could SEQ Mr..

again with frequent glances upward for

strange. Why had he not taken the
precaution to learn tho tramps real
name? Had he gone and married Bessie
under the name OF Drane?
Lawrence shivered until he recalled
that the tramp had known Bessie in
childhood and therefore could not pass
himself TO her under false name. This
was some comfort, but as he puzzled on
over the situation he began TO doubt
whether ho had done wisely in running
away from his Kansas City friends who

Mr.. Drane whispered excitedly to the
attendant:
'lt's Lawrence Dranel you'd better
grab him, cause he's very violent at
tines r. 2.
The attendant struck bell and in
stantly two other men came into the
hall, seized tho tramp. bound his arms
TO bis sides with ropc and hurried
him TO back room. Ho protested
vigorously, declared that ho had been
entrapped, and all that, but his cries
made matters worse for him. Presently
the attendant returned and asked Mr..
Drane about the capture. Lawrence
told an imaginative yarn with as low
dialect as he could muster, and wound
up by demanding tho reward.
Eve can't give you the whole reward
tonight" was the reply. "The Ave
hundred dollars offered by Mr.. Drane's
friends Is not in our control, but you
may have tho fifty dollars offered by
the Retreat and II you. will call to-mor-
row afternoon have no doubt that you
can collect the rest"
Lawrence reflected that fifty dollars
was a pretty good price to pay man
for capturing himself, s7d that he was
lucky TO even get that. The money was
promptly turned over TO him and he left
the Retreat after inquiring particularly
as TO the hourwhen he should call again.
Its pretty hard trick ON that fell
low" he thought, "but Le deserves 1t,
and ! will keep my word and SOC him

reward"
