ceived. Presently she tfptoed to Fan
ny's room, softly turned the knob, and
noiselessly entered. There lay her guest
still plunged in deep slumber, but An
nette had disappeared, gone, probably,
the east, where the railway crossed the
barren mesa, a locomotive whistle broke
the silence of the desert with long, ex-
ultant blast. The blockade then was
broken. The first train was coming in
from Cimarron. Dressing with greater
haste than usual, she ordered breakfast
served, and then went out on the piazza
and looked up the row toward the Mer-
Rams. The doctor was just coming
out of the gate, and Whitaker, who had
spent the night there on waterfall
thought of rivalry forgotten-was
standing on the top step, apparently
OBTAINING the physician with some ques-
ton. Eager for news of Randy, Mrs.
Grafton threw her husbands cavalry
cape over her shoulders and tripped
brisl<ly up the gravel walk. "Still Sleep
ing" said the doctor, land how is your
patient?''
"Also sleeping" said Mrs. Grafton.
~ don't see how people can sleep so
soundly at such times,'' whereat the
doctor looked conscious but said moth
ing.
All that morning people strained their
eyes and rubbed their binoculars and
searched the distant foothills to the
northwest, hoping for the coming of
couriers with news; but not until after
noon were they rewarded. Then, COW
cred with sweat and dust, corporal of
Grafton's troop rode in. DR.. Gould and
Mrs. Hayne were still at Jose's, though
they feared they could be of no use
there, for not a. sign of Florence had been
found. Grafton had sent couriers on to
the Catamount with the tidings of her
peril, and his men, in wide dispersed
order, were securing the foothills long
days marches away. Full half an hour
the ladies grouped at Buxton's, listen
ing to the soldiers description Of their
search, and then were strolling home
ward when, over toward the west end of
the cavalry line, arose the sound of COM
motion and distress.
An instant later, as the doctor,
glancing, turned to hasten thither, a
woman dressed in deepest black came
Keeling forth from the Merriams' door
way and piunging wildly down the
steps. Everyone knew her az glance
it was Fanny McLane, who stood there
now swaying at the gate as though
gasping for breath. while calling mar
ticulately for aiG. It was but few Sec
onds before the doctor reached her.

CHAPTER XIV.

Just about noon, when the hospital
attendant was away at dinner, the doc
tor at Buxton's and Whitaker getting
a nap after his night of vigil, only Hop
Ling was on duty over Randy. He'll
probably sleep until late in the after
noon," the doctor said, when he looked
In at II, and so perhaps he might have
done. Grafton, before starting, had
taken the responsibility Of removing
Florence's ominous looking missive and
placing it with other letters on the
mantel in the little parlor. He could
not feel justified in hiding it entirely.
He felt that when Merriam woke the
truth would have to be told him, and
perhaps Florence's own words might
best explain her flight. At all events
DR.. Leavitt had promised to be on
hand to see that the news was not too
abruptly broken, and Leavitt counted
on a long sleep and upon subsequent
drowsiness and languor as the result of
his treatment. No one had dreamed of
the possibility of such rude awakening
as came. Nowoman in her right senses
would have ventured on the: mad
Drained, desperate measure resorted to
by Mrs., McLane. What she hoped to
learn, what she expected to gain, what
papers or information she still believed
him to possess, who can say? The pow
err Of reasoning, driven from her by the
stupefying drug that of late had ovsr-
mastered it's weak and willing victim,
seemed to have utterly gone, leaving in
its place only something Of the craft
Eand cunning that possess the insane.
No sooner was Mrs. Grafton out of the
way, than, rousing suddenly, Fanny
had summoned Annette, had hastened
through her toilet, and, barely slipping
the coffee rendered her, had thrown q
light wrap over her head and shoulders
and fitted out Of the house, out past
the stable at the rear, and, to the amaze

There for few moineAts she seemed
to have paused and reconnoitered.
Of what followed only Randy and
Hop Ling were witnesses. The latter
was neve1. able to explain it, if indeed
he ever could understand the situation,
and as for Randy, it was long before he
could be induced to speak of it at all.
The time came when he had to, how
ever, and it can be told now.

So7 and the following years. Lie con-
+os+ hetwaen them and their Turkish
oppressors had gone on for years,
ga vs Lawrence ''and had been marked
throughout by tine most horrible barbar-
flies, It seemed ms if it would end in
tba determination of the whole Greek
race"
This description of the Grecian strug
gle for independence from the Turkish
yoke needs only a change of words,
Turkish to Spanish" and Greek race
to Cuban people" faithfully and 'ac-
curately to describe the Cuban situation
to-day. The result of the intervention
was the establishment of the pr esent
kingdom of Greece. The result Of inter.
'vention by the United States IN Cuba
will be the establishment of the Cuban
republic. The intervention of the pow
ers named in behalf of Greece was
based on three grounds:
THE CASE OF GREECE
First. in order to comply with; the re-
quest of one of the parties.
Secondly, on the grounds of humanity,
in order to stay the effusion of blood.
Thirdly. in order to put Il stop ito piracy
and anarchy.
These grounds. like those OH Which
the United States will base it's right to
intervene in Cuba were technically ille
gal under the rules of international law,
they were morally right. Speaking of
this event. Sir W. HarcOurt, an Eng
| lish writer of repute on international
law. in his celebrated Historicus letters,
says:
''rhe emancipation of Greece was a
high act of policy above and beyond the
domain of law. AS an act of policy it
may have been and was justifiable, but
| it was not the less a hostile act, which,
if she dared, Turkey might properly have
resented by war"
1t follows from this precedent that, SO
far as international law is concerned,
the intervention of the United States
on behalf of the Cubans will be a high
act of policy above and beyond the do
main of law. As an act of policy it
may be and will be justifable, but it
will be not the less a hostile act, which.
| if she dare, Spain may properly resent
by war.
An effect of the intervention of Great
Britain, France and Atussia on behalf of
the Greeks is that it estops them from
obiecting to the Intervention of the UNI
ted States on behalf of thet Cubans,
even if they were so inclined, while it
will have a restraining effect, if it does
not estop, upon Austria. Prussia and
other German and European states
which. if they did not formally approve
of. certainly took mo steps to prevent,
