CHAPTER VII.

1t was about II o'clock when Guy
left the Colonels office. He did not
go to the hotel Immediately, but
fastened first across the street to
the livery stable. A big strappins
fellow came out and advanced toward
him from the shadowy regions be-
tween the stalls. Guy was surprised,
for in spite of the big fellows
turned-up coat collar and continued
attempts to keep his face averted, he
recognized him as Barney.
Guy had not much time to waste in
useless expressions of establishment
or in any other extended chain of
thought. He Immediately connected
Barney with that note of which he had
been the bearer, and which was writ
ten on the back of a sheet of newspa-
per copy" The next instant he re-
called Vlandingham's words about
Barney's inability to read writing. If
this were true, Barney certainly could
not have been the author of that note.
Possibly there were four spies in
camp instead of two. Was the fourth
man Sampson?
"Well, Barney" said Guy, cynical
ly, eve meet again"
you've got the best O. me-" an
swered Barney, staring blankly at
Guy.
"Don't try to play the innocent"
went on Guy, drawing closer to the
stableman and speaking in low and
hurried tone. 81 know you're Har-
mony man, but I give you my word
that I won't say anything about it,
providing you stop your spying oper-
ations from this on. just now want
you to help me. Miss Vlandingham
and Miss Pinkney are here in town dis
guised as Sisters of Charity. Col.
Keever has found it out and I want
to get them started back to Harmony
before any harm befalls them. Put
your best team to double-seated car
riage in the shortest possible order
and drive to the hotel"

eve are quartered across the hall.
After Col. Dingle got into such a
predicament we could do no less
than help him out of it. While you
and your fellow townsmen were
wrangling in the office, I left by
rear stairway and rear door and
had the liveryman saddle and make
ready the horse you rode over from
Harmony last night. The animal
was hitched near the building you
propose to use for courthouse.
When Col. Dingle escaped from the
room the coast was comparatively
clear, as nearly all the inhabitants
were at the hotel. For that reason
he had no difficulty in getting away.
In my haste I lost my bracelet and
did not discover that it was gone I'M
til the angry citizens came foclSing
up the stairs. Then, of course it
was too late to recover it. I am
very much obliged to you, Mr.. Her
bert, for proceeding so secretly in
the matter. You had seen that
bracelet before and you knew who
the owner of it must be, SO you had
only to raise your voice and direct
the whole pack against us. We're
grateful, aren't we, Lois?"
"Very," said Miss Pinkney in
constrained voice.
'sYou are under no obligation to
me-" returned Guy. 'sThe account is
more than balanced by your kind
ness of last night, Miss Vlanding-
ham"
At this juncture Guy heard some
one coming up the stairs three steps
at time.
"Quick" he murmured; replace
your wells"
Miss Pinkney's hands trembled as
she once more folded the gray COW
ering across her face. But there was
no trace of alarm in the actions of
Miss Betty. She was as cool and
self-possessed as though presiding
at some social function in her own
town of Harmony.
Barely were the fair faces covered
when Sampson burst into the parlor.
He stopped short on beholding the
ladies and evidenced some confusion.
'What do you want, sampson?"
asked Guy.
"The Colonel wants to see you,
Mr.. Herbert, and in a tearing hur-
ry."
Guy turned to give parting salute
to the ladies, but Miss Betty extend
ed her hand. AS he took the little
palm in his she whispered:
''As a friend, thank you from the
bottom of my heart, Mr.. Herbert;
but as an enemy-I defy you! Do
not be too sentimental nor over
chivalrous. Remember, am here
in the interests of Harmony and that
it is your duty to look out for Con.
cord"
With that he turned away and
Guy followed Sampson out of the
room.

jerked it from the Colonel's grasp and
flung it into corner; then he grabbed
the Colonel by both shoulders and
pinned him against the partition.
Attempt to arrest those young
ladies, or say word about their be-
ing in this town." he muttered, fierce
ly, "and I'll see that you have cause
to regret it. I'll take care of Them
After giving the Colonel final
bump against the partition he re
leased him and dashed from the office.

CASH ON THE NAIL.
How for the Lack of 5000 d South
American Republic Was Thrown
Into Bankruptcy.

of the revolutions of the South Amer
lean states" said a Boston timing
engineer, according to locaa ex-
change, land within two houss of
the outbreak had been sentenced to
be shot. The president was no friend
of mine, and he was in hurry tt get
me under ground.
Sat midnight I was marched cut
under guard, and as we came to- the
place of execution I said to the litu-
tenant in charge of the party:
"'Look here, old boy. [ have 500
in gold hidden away
els it possible?' he gasped.
eff you shoot me. it will never be
found
"'Of course not, but if I spare you
the money is mine and you disappear
as quickly as possible. Great heav-
ems, what luck!'
"'And you'll take the money and
turn me loose?'
"'You bet! Why 5000 would buy
your life four times over. Cast him
loose, boys. Now, senior, where is
the gold? Bless my heart, what a
president we have got! He was going
to have man shot who could give
up S2oo!'
"Thirty days later when the revo
luton had failed and the late presi
dent was again nobody, 1 met hin
one day, and he threw up his hand!
and exclaimed:
"'Alas, senior, what a trick you
played me! For the want of the 500

| has failed and our country is for
ever ruined'"

THE CHILD TO THE FATHER

Father, it's your love that safely guides me-
Always It's around me, night and day,
1t shelters me, and soothes, but never
chides me,
Yet, father, there's shadow in my way.
All the day, my father. am playing
Under trees where sunbeams dance and
dart
But often just at night when 1 am praying
feel this awful hunger in my heart.
Father, there is somethdng-it has missed
me
I've felt it through my little days and
years;
And even when you petted me and kissed
me
I've cried myself to sleep with burning
tears.
To-day saw a child and mother walking,
/ caught gentle shining in her eye
And music in her voice when she was talk
ing
oh, father, is it that that makes me cry?
oh, never can put my arms around her,
Or never cuddle closer in the night;
Mother, oh, my mother!-Fve not found
look for her and cry from dark to light!

School Notes.

The first vacation has passed and the
pupils are at their work again with re-
renewed energy, some for the reviews
to be given, and others for selfimprove-
ment.
The school has reached its highest
enrolment, 500.
Miss Edna Crane who has been alb
sent from school the past month. on ac-
count of sickness has resumed hor work
in the high school.
We have few pupils who are absent
from school too much for their own
good, as well as for the good of the
school.
We frequently noted that many young
teachers as well as old teachers try to
follow plans given by our institute in
structors. One day this week one of
our lady teachers planned to give les
son in nature study and selected for
her subject hornets nest. The in
vestigation did not proceed very far
until the hornets objected and the
teacher very wisely sustained the OBJ
lection and had the subject removed.
Hornets are not always dead when
they seem to be.
