Surely you or Gomez must be mistak-
en-"
How? Gomez? What about Gomez?"
Gomez came to me and said: Malta
Judo, Don Juan Cara is anxious for
the safety of his daughter. We do not
know how strong the force Of Salvarez
may be. He may retake the castle, and
the girl must no be exposed to the
passions Of victorious soldiers. Do you
know Of a safe retreat near this placer
None nearer than a mile 1 answered.
The hut of the Carib Ramana.' Take
her there he said. Tell her that Don
Juan, her father, is in command of a
portion of the army and cannot come
to her. He commanded me to do this
senior, and l did. She followed me, and
l took her to Ramana's hut"
You lie!" cried Don Juan, beside
himself. Il have been to the Carib's
hut. Gomez was there. He demanded
my daughter Of the old Carib, but the
Indian swore that she had not been
brought there"
You heard that, senor?"
Il did. | missed my daughter, and
knew that some foul fiend had taken
her away. Gomez left the castle, and
/ followed him. l heard his converse
ton with the Carib. He cursed because
my daughter was not there. and swears
vengeance on you"
On, me, senior? Gomez has tricked
us both. His command to me was a lie
to get the girl out of the castle. But
he tricked you more shrewdly still"
"TriCked me-"
"Tricked you, senior; he and Ram
ana. You saw his horse. You crept to
the hut. You made no allowance for
Gomez keeping a watch for pursuers.
You heard him curse because the girl
was not in the house. But did you go
inside?"
"Go-inside? What do you mean?"
gasped Don Juan.
Il mean senior, that if you had gone
inside. perhaps you would have found
your daughter. | took her to the Ca
ribs hut. Gomez went there to get her.
He saw you coming. He and Ramana
quarreled to trick you. You saw him
ride away. You did not wait to see him
come back. For proof, senior. where is
Gomez now"
Don Juan turned to Philip with a
white face.
Have | been so stupid?" ne asked.
THE mistake can be remedied." said
Philip. "Mattazudo. you thought you
obeyed Gomez before. Obey me now.
Take some of your brave Zambos with
you, go to the Carib's hut and bring
back Don Juan's daughter. Go. Your
life depends on it."

Game OF Bowls Revived.

There are signs and symptoms Of a
revived interest in the game of bowls,
enc of the oldest outdoor pastimes ia
England. In its heyday bowls ran
archery very cioses-so close, indeed
that in the interests of national de-
Tense it was deemed essential to dig
courage the game. Thus it was, prob
ably, that the pastime came to be
looked upon as having something of
an illicit character, and for a time was
more or less associated with houses OF
entertainment which We're not always
of the best repute. But, in spite of the
ban of bygone centuries, the bowling
green has survived, more especially in
the north of England and in Scotland.
Nor can there be any more delightful
game than bowls for a summer even
ing, more especially for those who
have attained to an age when such
lively physical exertions as are in
volved by cricket and tennis become a
little unwelcome.

I'VE W the caverns. what are we
going to do with them?"
The first thing" said Medworth, sis
to destroy this powder train, and take
precautions that the magazine is not
blown up while We are in here"
They spent a half hour at this work.
and when they considered the maya
zine safe, they began an ex animation
of their surroundings.
Not far from the powder magazine
they found a rude stone stairway
running from a central position in the
cellar to an abrupt termination against
a wooden door. what seemed to be
n at the top.
Upon examining the wall at the
top, they found that what had seemed
to be a door had no knob, and no ap-
parent way of opening it.
This door. if it is a door, said
Tempest, was never made to open"
There must be a secret spring"
said Medworth. Surely the stairs are
not here for nothing. II force cannot
open the door let us look for a spring"
They began a careful examination of
the surface Of the door, and the walls
around it, going over every inch with
their finger ends, Tempest holding the
lantern to facilitate the search.
"Ha, Here is something" said Med
worth. "A button"
He pushed, pulled and twisted this,
but to no purpose.
Il an convinced that this button
opens the door" he said. Now, while
l manipulate it, you push the door. 1t
may be out of order"
He tried again, and Tempest, putting
his strength to the door, had no diff
Guilty in opening it.
Now be careful" said Medworth.
They passed through the open door,
and found themselves in a narrow pas
sage, entirely destitute Of furniture.
and perfectly dark save for the rays Of
the lantern.
There was no other door to this place
than the one they had come through,
but at the other end they found what
seemed to be a panel in the wall. From
the side they were on it could be east
ly noticed, and Medworth marveled
that the trick was not more skillfully
done.
He placed his hand on this panel,
and found that it slid noiselessly to
the left.
Before them was a large. sumptuous-
ly furnished library, the table of which
was strewn with papers and maps, and
the air heavy with tobacco smoke,
though nc person was visible. A lamp
shed a gloomy sort Of light over the
apartment. After making themselves
certain that there was no one in the
room, Medworth and Tempest went in.
There was a door opening from this

The Curse of Shiftlessness.

Whether shiftnessness is a vice that
is incurable or a habit that can be
overcome, it is, anyhow, a condition
hat perpleXes and irritates relieving
officials. Shiftlessness is paying ones
last so cents for a circus ticket with
out learning where to-morrow's break
fast is coming from. 1t is a refusal
to repair the leak in the roof when
The sun shines. 1t is killing the
goose that lays the golden eggs. It
axes no thought of the sorrow. 1t
lays up anything for a rainy
lay. 1t always ignores opportunities.
It prefers 10 rely on neighborhood
bounty to hustling for itself. 1t won't
work except under the pressure of
necessity. 1t never gets ahead.

He Was tho Hotel Echo.

A guest of one of the hotels at a
certain mountain resort took a notion
oneday to climb to the top of the near
est hill. Having reached that point, he
was astonished to find there an old
man sitting on a rock, with a pair OF
field glasses in his hand, through
which he looked at short intervals,
and after each look he would whoop
and halloo at the top of his lungs.
What in the world are you doing?''
asked the tourist, approaching the old
man. Don't talk to me, sir. if you
please" answered the old man; IF you
do, you'll take my attention, and I'll
lose my job. I'm the Echo at the
Mountain House, down there, and ]
have to watch for my time to come
in"

Free inspection of our factories and
methods is made by thousands of peo-
pie each month and the coffee import
ers themselves are cordially invited.
Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are abso-
lutely pure and made exactly as stated.
The formula Of Postum and the an

chemists of Boston has been printed

Is absolutely accurate.
Now as to the food value of Postum.
1t contains the parts of the wheat ber-
ry which carry the elemental salts,
such as lime, iron, potash, silica, ETC.,
etc., used by the life forces to rebuild
the cellular tissue, and this Is pa-ticu-
larly true of the phosphate Of potash,

matter in the delicate nerve centers all

Ordinary coffee stimulates in an I'M

not rebuild this gray substance so

every human being.
These are eternal facts, proven, well
authenticated and known to every
properly educated physician. chemist

1T Is a strange-a most inexplicable

girl he loved. "as for understanding it,

grief. 1t was a dastardly crime. A
crime for which the criminal must die
when I learn his name"
1T is still doubtful, then, whether
Gomez or Mattazudo is lying"
1T is almost a certainty that neither
is telling the truth"
Strange. You say you rode to the
Carib's hut with Mattazudo?"
Straight from your presence. You
commanded Mattazudo to find and re-
turn my daughter, and it must be said,
in all truth. that he seemed at least
to be sincere in his effort. We went to
the Carib's hut. We found the old In
dian there. MattaZudo at once CON-
manded him to deliver up the girl that
he, Mattazudo had brought there under
a misunderstanding. The Carib smoked
calmly on and asked how many more

seen. MattaZudo threatened to shoot
him, but nothing could move the old
Indian. | pleaded with him. I be-
sought him with all the energy Of a
broken-hearted father to restore my
daughter to me, but he still claimed
he had not seen her. Mattazudo told
me that Ramana was a friend of Co
mez, and no doubt had agreed to keep
silent. The only way, Of course. was
to get the truth Il of Gomez. When
we returned to the castle | taxed Co
mez with the crime: bat without wait
ing to deny it, he sprang upon Mat

have killed him. had not some of the

The old Spaniard had not left the
room before two silent figures crawled
stealthily away from the sliding panel
and down under the foundations again
