find an injunction as to the use OF the
trumpet.
Therein the people are commanded
on the first day of the seventh month
to hold IAN holy convocation," to do
no servile work, it being "a day of
blowing of trumpets unto you"-a
feast of the trumpets.
Here is demonstrated the giving up
the shophar as heard in the syna-
gogues to this day on a like festival.
The skeptic may say that to-day's
outpourings of joy lack thought, are
indulged without the slightest religious
sentiment, have no relationship with
the very same movements and same
trumpetings that characterized the
day when the law was given from
Mount Sinai, those periods when joy
and victory and holy festival intiu-
! enced the early peoples of the earth.
Who will say that there is no feeling
of thankfulness in the hearts of the
nation when. with horn a-blowing
and flags waving, it gives vent to tbs
joy over victory or any great national
event?

The first mention of it is in the Old
Testament at the giving of the law:
Aud all the people saw the thunderings.

AS the sound of the horn signaled
the giving of the law which was to
lead mankind and stand for lifes

the ages, the multitude bowed with
feelings of awe and humility.

by the crowd that usually surrounds

Whatever Jack has written appears
to deeply impress the quiet gentleman
who for years has represented the
United States in Cuba. He reads II
through, and placing 1t in his pocket,
says to smithers:
Tell Mr.. Travers l will be on my
guard, and ready to respond to LIS
message at any time OF the day or

When Jack hears this he feels con-
siderably relieved. With the power OF
the United States government behind
him he cannot see much to fear In
the situation.
While Snithers was absent on his
mission. Jack has by rare good luck
discovered the party for whom he has

Senior Robado is looking quite his
best. and his distinguished appearance
arouses considerable curiosity. though
the glances leveled at him are quickly
transferred to the wondrous fair face
at his elbow Among the sable-haired
senoritas OF Spain or Cuba one so
purely blonde as Jessie Cameron
must always attract an unusual share
of notice.
Jack literally feasts his eyes upon
her.
He wonders when this miserable
farce will have been played to its
limit--when he may dare claim this
dear one for his own. The game is

may fall to your share. Eternal vigil
lance is the price of success in love
as well as in war.
Hmithers now leaves his patron For
a time. He has game of his own to
look after. Since Gomez has deter
mined to visit the grand reception,
and see his enemy face to face, those
who are concerned for the safety of
the great insurgent leader have plenty
TO worry them.
Perhaps the keen wit of the detec-
tive has been levied upon to produce
additional features that will ensure
the safety of the man upon whom the
Cubans in rebellion rely more than
any other for leadership. The pas
sage OF events will prove this.
Ever and anon Jack casts his eyes
after the little party. The crush be-
comes great. and many seek the ring
in order to secure relief Fearful lest
he may lose sight Of her in the great
crowd, Jack pushes after. and as luck
will have 1t. discovers the object of his
