They fairly raced along the road at a
pace which made connected converse

the town. AS they turned into Em-'

down the street.

Peyton said nothing, He only held
himself very straight inqthesadtle and
looked sternly ahead. Again there
came upon his face that peculiar tight

to his usual appearance. The woman
alone noticed it.

he had begged Marysto ride with him
on the Shell road, then, as now, the
driving and riding resort Of fashionable
Mobile. Itwas yet SO early in the att
ernqon, however, that they had the
road to themselves.
Peyton was as full Of satisfaction
as anything short Of her complete ac-
ceptance OF him could have made him.
He loved her, he had told her SO in
spite of his promise, and she had lis
tened at last in spite Of her refusal,
and had half responded. He4was de-
termined to win her, and she had
given him hope. 1t was enough to
make any man happy. The added ex-
hilaration of the gallop completed his
Joy. All too soon they drew rein at
Frederic's house, at the end OF the
made road.
Far to the front Of them the un-
paved road, abruptly degenerating into
a mere bride path, wound through the
woods and lost itself in the distance
among the trees.
LET us alight from the horses and
go out on the wharf yonder," said Pey-
ton, pointing off to the left, where a.
long wharf on piles extended far out
over the water.

girl; II am a little tired after our rapid

and they walked slowly out to the end
of the wharf.

at the boat landing. "Look at the road.
Is there another such on the continent?

although it is winter, and all the vivid
rich color of those huge broad leaved
magnolia trees"
She stretched out her arms to the
picturesque shore, as if she would clasp
it in loving embrace.
Eyes," answered Peyton, smiling ap-
provingly at her enthusiasm, land what
makes the oaks more beautiful are the
long festoons of that Spanish moss
hanging from every limb and the mis-
tletoe clustered around the tops. Even
the white China berries and the red
yupons and those little bayonet palms
add to the charm. But beauty is upon
this side, too" he added, sweeping his
arm seward, jealous for his chosen ell

settlement of Venezuela Award.
WASHINGTON Feb. %. The Ger
man government, through It's repre-
sentative here, Baron Speck Won Stern
burg, has made a request of Mr.. Bowen
for the immediate payment of the
E5, 800 which it was stipulated in the
protocol signed on Feb. 13 should be
paid within thirty days from that date
as a preliminary to the raising of the
blockade against Venezuelan ports and
the agreement to send the question of
preferential treatment of the blockad-
ing nations to The Hague for determi-
nation.
Mr.. Bowen promptly declined to ac-
cede to the request, but Informed Bar
on Sternburg that, as provided in the
protocol, the money would be paid to
the German representative at Caracas
thirty days from Feb. IS, which would
be on the 18th of March.
The reason that animated the Ger
man government In making the request
is not disclosed here nor is Mr.. Bowen
aware of It. The matter, however, has
some significance perhaps in view of
the fact that the ships taken by the
Germans during the blockade have not
yet been returned to Venezuela.
Mr.. Bowen has received calls from
the French ambassador, M. Jusseraud;
the Spanish minister, Senior Ojeda, and
the Belgian minister, Baron Moncheur,
in regard to the protocols that are in
preparation for the settlement of the
claims of the citizens of their countries
against Venezuela. Rough drafts Of
these instruments are already on their
way by mail to the European govern
ments interested, but there are certain
provisions regarding them about which
the ENJOYS desired to consult Mr.. Bow
en-. The protocols are expected to.
reach their destinations the latter part
Of this week. pending which no final
steps for their joint signature can be

Small Insurgent Body Near Manila
Troublesome.
MANILA, Feb. ga force Of in
surgent ladrones under General San
Miguel has reappeared in Rial prov
ince. They avoided an engagement
with the main force in the south, but
captured three small detachments Of
constabulary. The enemy surrounded
the towns of Cainta and Taytay, eleven
miles east of Manila, on Saturday and
captured thirty scouts and ten men of
the constabulary, whom they disarmed
and set free.
Yesterday Inspector McIlvane at the
head of ten constabulary was surprised
and captured near Montalban, sixteen
miles northeast Of Manila The la
drones promised to release them IL the
constabulary would surrender their
arms. While they were comforting on
this point McIlvane made dash for
liberty, and he and all the constabulary
effected their. escape. 5
When the news Of the temperance
of General San Miguel's force reached
Manila, re-enforcements of scouts and
constabulary were hurried into Ri
Zal province. General Allen and Colo
mel Scott went to Antipolo and as
sumad command Of the forces there.
They met with small detachments of
the enemy, and few skirmishes took
place. They were, however, unable to
locate the main body of ladrones Gen
eral Allen and Colonel Scott are con-
tinuing the pursuit and hope to over
. take the released prisoners.
1t is said that General San Miguel's
force consists of 800 men, armed and
uniformed. The zone Of ladrone activ-
ity extends from Caloocan, four miles
north Of Manila, eastward to the noun
tains Of Rial and lskirting the northern
limits of Manila. The Manila police
co-operated in Saturdays efforts to
corner the enemy. Secretary Winthrop
In the absence Of Governor Taft re-
Quested General Davis to furnish addi-
tional scouts, and General Davis has
ordered another battalion of scouts to
report to General Allen. 1t is expected
that additional troops will be ordered
out.
General San Miguers force is small,
and the government is determined to
speedily suppress 1t. General San Mi
guel claims the insurgent leadership
and fights under the Katipunan flag.
According to news from Albay, Luzon,

A. Shell road. The gray road
@HHySN following the curves of the
SED shore was untenanted at the
moment save by three persons on horse
back.
Although he was sailor, Boyd Pey-
ton rode with the ease Of a southern
cavalier long accustomed to the saddle.
His companion was a good match for
him. She wore a close fitting riding
habit of navy blue, little, stiff hat to
match it, with gray veil dropping be-
hind it, and gray gauntlets. She had
exchanged her ankle ties for dainty
little boots, and as he had mounted
her upon her horse he had not failed
to notice her small high arched instep,
the hall mark Of the high bred southern
woman, which she had to perfection.
The force Of the breeze, accumulated
by their quick motion, had added a
deeper color to the richness of her
brown cheeks. The wind blew her hair
hither and thither as they galloped
along. She laughed aloud sometimes in
very needless joy in life. She was SO
young and happy. Jerry, the negro
groom in the AMMAN livery, who rode
some distance behind them, IL he
thought Of them at all, would have
called them a handsome pair.
Peyton had spent the entire morning

1 pair in dazed surprise. The
news, SO startling, which his
G$SaW companions received with
such demonstrations Of joy, was APP
palling to him. He did not know what
to make of 1t. Mary Amman had noticed
his silence, but she made no comment
on it, and, indeed, Darrow gave them
no time for reflection, for as he recover
ed himself a little he continued his
story excitedly.
"The whole town is in ferment.s

from Montgomery in a perfect stream
when left. I suppose there will be a
parade or salute or something of that
sort"

the girl. 81 am so excited can hardly

thing. Isn't it splendid? Jerry" she
continued, turning to the groom, "my

horse, both young men sprang to as
sist her to mount. She looked from
one outstretched hand to the other and,
turning to Peyton, put her little foot in
his palm. He flashed look of graft
tude toward her as he lifted her into
the saddle, but his joy was not allowed
free course, for, with an instinct of
kindness which is sometimes mistaken
for coquetry, she turned to barrow,
whose face was flushed with disap-
pointment, and said, II came with Mr..

lined with magnificent old houses en-

men. The sunlight sparkling on steel

Peyton had taken in the promise.
barrow was magnificent horseman.
He seemed part OF his steed. No
centaur scould have ridden more SUI
perbly. Six feet high, splendidly pro-
portioned he made grand picture
sitting his great gray horse. No one
could be in greater contraststo Peyton
than he. His eyes were blue, his hair
sunny, his complexion ford, an I'M
usual but not impossible type for a
southerner. Physically he was the in
carnation Of force and strength. both
tempered by southern courtesy and re-
finement. He was the personifcation
Of headlong recklessness and valor.
Fear was absolutely left out of his
personality. No one had ever seen him
blench or quail or tremble. Gay, joy
GUS, debonair, he was man to win
the heart Of almost any woman and
to awaken the admiration Of men as
well.
Yet there was something lacking
about him. In the hidden depths OF
his nature, In which man shows what
he is fundamentally, he was not quite
so admirable. A touch of soul was
wanting in him. The spiritual side of
his nature had suffered at the expense
of the material. In that particular he
was also of a type antipodal to Pey-
ton, for Peyton's physical nature had
suffered at the expense of the spiritual.
The one needed sorrow and trouble and
love-are they synonyms?-to refine
him: the other required work and dam
ger and disappointment and love-are
they synonyms, too?-to blunt him, as
1t were. and make him practical and
practicable in this workaday world. A
crisis would make or unmake each
man.

between the two men, glancing from
one to the other, as she marked them
both during the dash ON the Shell road.

should perfect and supply the lack in
the character OF the two who loved

either man entirely lacked the quail

abundantly lowered not at all. and
