ened line toward Singalon church; and
while he seldom came in the evening
when numbers of visitors were pres
ent, the boy had way of dropping in
between three and four, when he could
generally count on few moments, at
least, alone with Mrs. Frank. She had
nursed him well in his slow GONZALES
cence, had made deep impression on
his boyish heart, lacerated as he con-
ceived it by disappointment at home.
She had won him to her service, as she
thought, until she felt sure he was
ready to do almost anything for her
sake, then she had put him to the test,
and he had failed her. Believing, as
she did, that the boy well knew the
whereabouts of the alleged deserter,
Morton, and his friend, Nita's reckless
lover, she had counted on him to wiring
from them the letters poor Latrobe de-
clared he still possessed; but the three
weeks had passed without a sign, and
it was becoming evident to her that
Gray had lost track of them entirely.
One brilliant afternoon, as she lay
on the broad, cane-bottomed bedstead
with its overhanging canopy of filmy
netting, she drowsily heard the cor
poral posting the new sentinel in the
marbled corridor below, and then
marching the relief to the rear gate
opening to the beach. Nita was already
up and moving about in her room. Mar
garet heard the rustic of her skirts
and the light patter of her tiny feet
as she sped over the hardwood floor
of the main salon. She heard her
throwing back the sliding shutters that
kept out the glare of the sun in the
morning hours, and knew that she
was gazing out over the tree-dotted
lawn toward the gate where the guard
lounged through the warm afternoon.

All Of a sudden, quick and stirring, d
bugle sounded over on the Gale Nueva,
where the North Dakotas had strong
detachment. The call was repeated,
and, army woman though she was, she
did not recognize it. She could not
remember ever having heard 1t before.
Then up the street, from the engineer
barrack, there came thrilling echo, and
there was a sound of movement and ex-
citement along the dusty thorough
fare. She heard Mia calling her name,
and then the child's quick, nervous step
along the hallway toward the stairs.
Then came sudden stop, gasping,
waiing cry, and, springing from her
bed and to the door, Margaret found
her sister covering beforea tall slender
man in the rough dress and field equip
ment of u private soldier. With lit
tie packet-letters, apparently-held
forth in one hand, while the other
grasped her wrist, Rollin Latrobe stood
sternly gazing at the girl shrinking
at his feet.
The tableau was over in another Sec
ond. Springing up the broad marble
stairs came Billy Gray, the corporal of
the guard at his heels, and Latrobe saw
his danger in flash. Throwing little
Gray aside as he would a terrier, the
young athlete whirled on the stalwart
regular. There was the sound of
crashing blow, followed by heavy fall.
The corporal went rolling down the
steps with Latrobe bounding over the
tumbling form, and the next instant he
had vaulted over the ledge of the open
window on the lower floor, and vanished
through the gateway to the beach.
And now all along the Gale Real the
bugles were sounding ITO Arms!"

CHAPTER XIV.

Manila at last! Queen city of the
archipelago, and Manila again be-
sieged! The loveliest of the winter
months was come. The Luneta and the
Paseo de Santa Lucia, close to the
sparkling waters, were gay every even
ing with the music of the regimental
bands and thronged with the carriages
of old-time residents and their new and
not too welcome visitors. Spanish
danes and damsels, invisible at other
hours, drove or strolled along the road
way to enjoy the cool breezes that
swept in from the beautifulbay and take
wistful peeps at the dainty toilets of
the American bellies now arriving by
every boat from Hong-Kong. All the
Castilian disdain they might look and
possibly feel toward the soldiery of
Uncle Sam gave place to liveliest inter-
est and curiosity when the wives and
daughters of his soldiers appeared
