In fact. the evening resolved itself
into triumph for Anita No less sur
prised than the others was Courtney.
He had never known she could talk in
this manner. conduct herself so COM
pletely as the grande dame. He had
treated her with the Difference which
he felt belonged to her rank, but also
with the attitude which his Eastern as
sociations had led him to assume to-
ward all women.
Now he saw that she was different
from these. a creature to compel admit
ration; before whom men bow instinc-
lively. His heart swelled with a strange
pride in her which he had never known
before.
Hitherto she had been part of his re-
venge. Now he realized that he might
well be proud of her. and the visions
of the life they might lead together in
England, at which he had only limited
before. now returned to him as reali-
ties.
In spite of the envious glances of his
companions. Calthorpe kept Anita as
much as possible to himself throughout
the evening, and when she arose TO
withdraw. he preceded her to the cur
tain which led from the room and, as he
held 1t back, he said in low voice, the
tone Of which was sincerity itself:
Senorita, you are the most beauti-
fui woman in the world
Anita paused a moment as though to
reply. but as she felt the bushes steal
ing across her brow she went on with
out word. half angry. half pleased at
the boldness of the young fellow.
CalthOrpe himself was completely
taken captive by the beauty Of the
young girl, and as his boat glided across
the silent waters of the bay on its way
back TO the ship, he repeated to HIM
self:
BY the stars she is the handsomest
We man in the world"

HE GRAY FOX OF GIBRALTAR; A ROMANCE OF THE ROCK

looking to see II he were I'm earnest,
broke into a hearty laugh.
BY st. George he shouted, 1T will
be the merriest battle in history. Give
your signal, sir. and well lay to like a
pair Of hungry cocks"
The preparations were soon made. the
signals given, and the inhabitants Of
Gibraltar were startled by the sudden
cannonading Of the ships and the an
swering vOlleys of the guns upon the
heights.
Most OF them were too frightened to
venture out of doors, but remained Sc
curely hidden until the battle ended
about MONDAY, and then they issued
forth In time TO see a body OF English
sailors march through the town and up
the heights, where soon the cross Of St.
George was flying at the summit. where
the standard of Spain had fioated to the
breeze for more than a century. Then.
seeing that all was quiet once more,
they went about their daily tasks as
usual.
on the day following the downfall Of
the Spanish dominion over Gibraltar,
the town had completely returned to its
ordinary quiet and sleepy ways. Except
for the flag far up on the summit Of the
a revolution had taken place.
On the evening of this day Lieuten-
ant Mertrez. dusty and travel stained,
but still cheerful and happy. rode up to
the Spanish outpost. stationed where
the last Of the foothills descended into
the plain opposite the narrow neck OF
land leading to Gibraltar.
The sentry on duty summoned him
to halt. He pulled up his horse prompt
ly, having expected the challenge. and
began:
Il am Lieutenant Merit"
At this moment a sergeant who had
been behind the sentry stepped up and
addressed him.
Lieutenant Mertrez. 1 must ask you
to surrender your sword and pistol and
to come with me. have an order for
it,
Mertrez drew himself up haughtily.
"Sir. you mistake" he began, but
again the sergeant interrupted him.
There is no mistake" he said. Tho
English captured Gibraltar yesterday.
The cOmmandant says it was because
the re-enforcements did not arrive. He
issued the order for your arrest. and
directs that you be placed in prison
until you can explain the matter TO a
court-martial."

CHAPTER XVI.
Anita Follows the Path.

Anita's progress was very slow. She
dared not turn about and advance IN
the ordinary manner. Unfamiliar as
she was with the path. such an attempt
would probably have resulted in plung-
ing her over the side OF the cliff.
Keeping her face toward the wall. as
II were, she moved along IN a sidewise
direction. Cautiously she felt the way
cor each step with one foot, clinging to
every little projecting point and every
niche IN the rock for support
The path would have been a difficult
one even for a goat herd or a mountain
chamois. both OF whom were accustomed
to lean over chasms and 70 scale preci-
ptces. Even in the old. lawless days OF
Moorish supremacy it had been too dan
gerous to tempt honest men and had
been left to the smugglers and outlaws
who at that time made their headquar-
tiers about the Rock.
For this reason the very existence Of
the path had been gradually forgotten
until at length the knowledge Of u had
remained only with the old witch woman
and her outlaw son.
Long disuse had added to the natural
difficulties Of the way. In places heavy
pieces of rock had fallen from above
upon the trail and lay IN Jagged masses
over which it was necessary to climb
In other spots where q little soil had
lodged in ciefts Of the rock, bushes had
sprung up 10 hide the course OF the path
and make the footing more uncertain
Occasionally the ledge narrowed away
under the feet and the girl could feel
herself fairly swinging above the awful
chaSn Again II broadened out 10 a
considerable width and afforded stretch
es where her advance was comparative
~ easy.
In such spots the girl sat down 10 rest
and 10 regain her breath for the more
difficult parts Of the journey. she rea--
lied the futilit,- Of attempting haste
over such a difficult ground as this ana
indeed, without these frequent pauSes,
both her strength and her courage
would have been exhausted before her
journey was a quarter done
Her hands were soon bleeding from
contact with the sharp edges of the
rocks Her gown was torn by catching
on projecting points. At the infreQuent
pauses where the ledge permitted her
to sit down and rest II seemed as though
her arms would drop from their sockets
from the constant strain OF chnging TO
the rock for support.
To add 20 her difficulties the sun,
which had been not unwelCOme az the
beginning of her journey. grew every
moment more unbearably warm. Its
rays. reflected from the smooth white
Her throat was parched and she
gasped for breath as the suitry air be-
came more oppressive.
once she stepped upon a loose stone
which rolled beneath her foot She felt
II move away and disappear over the
edge OF the chasm. In terror she clung
10 the side OF the rock. fearing &c
move.

Central station when train II came.
in, and was very drunk. The night Of
fcerS took her over to the station.
Mary has been under the eyes Of the
police for some time. and in view OF
the existing circumstances the court

if she went up on the hill for 80 days.
VIM. TObn was also up for drunk
enness and was fined So, which he
paid.

ing him with keeping diSOrderly
house on Willow street. At the time

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Bacause They Are Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an Observation-Disclosures, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish

A lady writes from the land of the
Magnolia and the mocking bird way
down in Alabama and says: Il was led

THE FARMER.

A valued exchange says: g., 900 COO,
600 means little more to the ordinary
mind than row of figures. That
amount of money is beyond the reach Of
common conception.
Professor Holmes Of the agricultural
department, tells that this sum repre-
senta the value of the American far
mers crops in 1908 Not satisfied to
puzzle rs with figures Of such magni-
tude, the officials add to our bewilder-
ment by telling us that this sum does
not include something like another bill
lion dollars worth of farm products
which has been feed within the year to
nearly 1000, 900 horses, mules. cattle,
sheep and hogs. whose combined value
approximates $3.nel 700, 600
This SIS, 0O0, 900, 900 worth of natures
bounty represents the labor Of farm
ing population estimated at little more
than 10000 coo, living on about 6, Co.,
900 farms of a Total acreage of $50, 000,-
600, whose total value is estimated at
more than 500 coo, 900, 600.
These amounts are so stupendous that
we must divide them mp in order to
grasp .hem. On basis of these figures
the individual results are not little
surprising. 1t appears that the average
acreage Of the farms Of the country is
146: that the farming population aver
ages a little less than two people to the
farm; that the average value of the
farm. including stock and implements,
Is about e, 600, and that the average re-
venue. or average value Of products, is.
about 81. COO
The farmer works hard but he has
much to show for his labor; and what q
condition of blase independence is not

turers ana the rest of us poor devils Of
