CHAPTER XVII.
The habit of reading having penetrat-
ed, as we are told, to all classes OF the
community, I am not without hope that
some who peruse this chronicle will be
able, from personal experience, to under
stand the feelings of a man when he first
finds a reward offered for his apprehen-
sion. 1t is true that our police are not
in the habit of initiating the Presidents
naked brutality by expressly adding
''alive or Dead" but I am informed that
the law, in case of need, leaves the alter
native open to the servants OF justice. l
am not ashamed to confess that my spirits
were rather dashed by his excellency's
Parthian shot, and I could see that the
Colonel himself was no less perturbed.
The escape of Fleance seemed to Mac
beth to render his whole position unsafe,
and no one who knew General Whiting
ham will doubt that he was a more dan
gerous opponent than Fleance. We both
felt. in fact, as soon as we saw the white
sail of The Songstress bearing our enemy
out of our reach, that the revolution
could not yet be regarded as safely accom-
plished. But the uncertainty of our ten
ure Of power did not paralyze our ener-
gies on the contrary, we determined to
make hay while the sun shone, and, il
Aureataland was doomed to succumb once
more to the tyranny, l, for one, was very
clear that her temporary emancipation
night be turned to good account.
Accordingly, on arriving again at the
Golden House. we lost no time in insti-
tuting a thorough inquiry into the state
of the public finances. We ransacked the
ing! Was it possible that the President
had carried off with him all the treas
ure that had inspired our patriotic eff
forts? The thought was too horrible. The
drawers of his escritoire and the safe that
stood in his library revealed nothing to
our eager eyes. A foraging party, dis
patched to the ministry of finance (where,
by the way, they did not find Don Anto-
MO or his fair daughter), returned with
the discOuraging news that nothing was
visible but ledgers and bills. In deep
detection l threw myself into his excel
'ency's chair with the doleful reflection
TO get out of the business. The Colonel
stood moodily with his back to the fire.
place, looking at me as if l were respoa-
sible for the state of things.
At this point in came the Signorina.
We greeted her gloomily, and she was as
startled as ourselves at the news of the
Presidents escape: at the same time
thought l detected an undercurrent of re-
lief. When, however, we went On to
break to her the nakedness of the land,
she stopped US at once.
"Oh, you stupid men, you haven't look
ed in the right place. l suppose you ex-
pected to find it laid out for you on the
dining room table. Come with me-"
We followed her into the room where
Carr lay. He was awake, and the Sig
norma went and asked him how he was.
Then she continued:
I'VE shall have to disturb you for q
few minutes, Mr.. Carr"

IS "REAL" LIFE?
BY Juliet Y. Strauss.

A friend Of mine said to me recent
ly, speaking Of another friend, that
she was having her first glimpse of
real society. I wondered If there could
be anything real in society as it has
come to be In these latter years. 1t Is
a great question whether anything has
intrinsic value. Value Is entirely q
relative affair and doubt IL we know
it when we are actually up against
the real thing. If may use the most
objectionable Of our unspeakable
slang.

further proceedings. Suffice to say we
marshaled our host and marched down to
the Piazza. The news had spread by
now, and in the dimly breaking morning
light we saw the Square full of people
men, women and children. AS we march
ed in there was a cheer, not very hearty
"A cheer propitiatory. for they did not
know what we meant to do. The Colonel
made them a brief speech, promising
peace, security, liberty, plenty and all
the goods of heaven. In a few stern
words he cautioned them against "treach-
cry" and announced that any rebellion
against the Provisional government would
meet with swift punishment. Then he
posted his army in companies, to keep
watch till all was quiet. And at last he
said:
"Now, Martin, come back to the Golden
House, and let's put that fellow in safe
place."
"Yes," said 1, and have a look for the
money" For really in the excitement it
seemed as If there was a danger of the
most important thing Of all being for
gotten.
The dawn was now far advanced, and
AZ we left the Piazza, we could see the
Golden House at the other end of the
avenue. All looked quiet. and the SEN
tries were pacing to and fro. Drawing
nearer, we saw two or three Of the Presi-
dents servants busted about their ordi-
nary tasks. One woman was already re-
moving Johnny Cars life-blood with a
mop and pail of water; and carpenter
was at work repairing the front door.
Standing by 1t was a doctors brougham.
"Come to see Carr, suppose" said I.
Leaving our horses to the care of the
men who were with US, we entered the
house. Just inside we met the Doctor him
self. He was a shrewd little fellow, nam
ed Anderson, generally popular, and, al
though a personal friend of the Presi-
dents, not openly identified with either
political party.

contrary he was going on nicely.

CHAPTER XV.-(Continued.)
Thus far the Signorina. l must beg to
call special attention to the closing lines
or her narrative. But before l relate
the very startling occurrence to which
she refers, we must return to the bar
racks, where, it will be remembered, mat
tcrs were in a rather critical condition.
When the officers saw their mess room
suddenly filled with armed men. and
heard the alarming order issued BY the
Colonel, their attention was ehectually
diverted from me. They crowded togeth-
er ON one side Of the table, facing the
Colonel and his men on the other. As
sisted by the two men sent to my aid, l
seized the opportunity to push my way
through them and range myself by the
side Of my leader. After a moments
pause the Colonel began:
''The last thing we should desire, gen
tiemen." he said, sis to resort to force.
Rnt the time for explanation Is short.
The people of Aureataland have at last
risen against the tyranny they have so
long endured. General Nottingham has
proved a traitor to the cause of freedom
he won his position in the name OF lib
erty: he has used 1t to destroy liberty.
III, voice of the people has declared him
to have forfeited his high Office. The
people have placed in my hand the sword
OF vengeance. Armed with this mighty
sanction. I have appealed to the army.
The army has proved true to it's tradi-
tions-true to its character of the pro-
tector, not the oppressor, of the people.
Gentlemen, will you who lead the army
take your proper placer"
There was no reply to this moving ap-
peal. He advanced closer to them, and
went on:
There is no middle way. You are pat
riots or traitors-friends of liberty or
friends Of tyranny. / stand here to offer
you either a traitors death, or, if you
will, life, honor and the satisfaction OF all
your just claims. Do you mistrust the
people7 l, as their representative, here
offer you every just due the people owe
you-debts which had long been paid but
for the greed of that great traitor"
As he said this he took from his men
some bags of money, and threw them an
the table with a loud chink.
Major DeChair glanced at the bags, and
glanced at his comrades, and said:
I'm the cause of liberty, heaven forbid
we should be behind! Down with the
tyrantw
And all the pack yelped in chorus!
"Then, gentlemen, to the head of your
men," said the Colonel, and going to the
window, he cried to the throng:
"Men, your noble officers are with u.s."
A cheer answered. him. I wiped my
forehead, and said to myself, THAT'S well
over"
