A young girl acns standing there intently
observing the soldtcry
hand resting lightly on the top of the
lower half of the sash. Nearly her
whole figure was revealed in the morn
ing light. She was blond-a type rare
in New Mexico, although her eyes were
not foreign to the country, being of q
deep and soulful black. For moment
Lieutenant Raymer fancied he was look
ing upon cOuntrywoman, but rosary
and cross of Mexican filigree, silken
rebozo and that indefnable grace Of
pose and manner peculiar to the Latin
races stamped her as foreign, if not
Mexican, while the golden hair and fair
skin, the beautiful regularity of features
and certain delicacy of the ears nes-
tling in the rimpling hair proved con-
clusively that she was Of the exclusive
Castellanos, who boast Of blood uncon-
talninated by mixture with Indian or
griso.
As the lieutenant gazed at this young
girl he was prompted to an act which
we will not attempt to excuse, although
among the fan and handkerchief flirting
ladies of Spain and the colonies of that
land of warm impulses it is not looked
upon as an objectionable sin against the
proprieties He raised his white gloved
hand to the rim of his hat and executed
half salute. The young lady immedi-
ately disappeared from the window.
During the "a hours Of his tour Of
duty Raymer's thoughts frequently re-
verted to the incident connected with
the last guard mounting, and the reflec.
tion that he had made bad impression
upon one whose beauty so attracted him
was far from pleasant.
Next morning he again took his way
to the plaza. this time to enact the part
Of old officer Of the day. He again
paused at the sundial and sought the
parlor windows, beholdins the fair vi
sion Of the previous morning standing
as before. She exhibited. however, no
consciousness Of his presence. looking
beyond him at the band and assembling
guard This time the ieutenant made
no demonstration that oonld giys Of.
feDse. but simply iudulgsd himself in
occasional glances and passed at the
psoper moment to the place Of review.

CHAPTER I.

Tho second call for guard mounting
had sounded. and the new officer Of the
day stood leaning against the railing
that inclosed the sundial before the gov
srnor's palace, idly awaiting the arrival
of the regimental band and the details
from the companies composing the gar
rison of the neighboring fort.
The palace occupied the whole west
ern side Of the plaza, its gray adobe
walls suggesting nothing palatial, but
from the time when the governors Of
the Mexican republic reigned like east
ern satraps over this isolated territory
down to the present day it had borne
the title of Ell Palacio, and, although it
had long since ceased to be the largest,
costliest or even the most comfortable
residence in Santa Fe, the name still
olung to it.
The plaza was at the time of this
chronicle a barren waste, occupied by
market men and women from the ad-
jacent country. Here their patient bur-
ros stood in groups, loaded with wood,
grass and vegetables and other country
produce, awaiting bids from purchasers.
Opposite the center Of the palace and
just outside the bordering row of COT
tonwoods stood the sundial, which had
been placed there before the trees were
planted and allowed to remain after
they had attained their growth, al
though in the later hours Of the day the
rays Of the sun could not reach it. The
dial was mounted upon granite pedes-
tai and surrounded by a low iron rail-
ing. Against this railing the new officer
Of the day leaned one June morning,
his face turned toward the parlor win.
dows of the palace. He was young
fellow above the medium height, firmly
built and graceful. A we'll balanced
head upon square shoulders and face
of regular and handsome features indi-
Gated a character firm and resolute. His
closely cropped hair and full mustache
were dark brown, his eyes grayish blue
and his complexion Drowned by exposure
in the field. His insignia of rank showed
the bars Of first lieutenant.
The market men and women had
withdrawn with their burros into the
side streets when the notes of fife and
drum heralded the approach of regi-
mental band from the fort. It passed
along the southern side Of the plaza,
aligned itself upon the markers" and
played the "Adjutant's Call" The
lieutenant raised himself from his lean
ing posture, with the intention of watch
ing the arrival of the details, when his
glance fell upon window Of the pal

very large proportion of disease in New

catching cold," says DR.. Cyrus Edison.
"It is such simple thing and so common
that very few people, unless it is a case
of pneumonia, pay any attention to a
cold. There are great many cases of
catarrh and consumption which have
their origin in this neglect of the SIM

one, get rid of it a. soon as possible. By
