 The answer was pretty much what I had expected. Someone fired and a bullet came whistling through the window, and buried iiself in the wall opposite. 1 had taken good care to place myself where should not be in danger.
 I had my guns close at hand; but I did not reply to the shot. although l could have done so with fatal ef- feet. The windows had been very cunningly contrived, so that they com manded the whole spacs in front of the door and there was not square inch of cover in which man could shield himself from a shot fired tom where I stood. But I could afford to wait and desired to barley before re- sorting to force.

 There was pause in which heard him swear savagely; but he saw the prudence of parleying first, and sent the men back.
 In the few moments of interval I saw way of complying with the spirit of Masitas wishes in regard to Molta. although I had had to disre- gard them in the letter. Her taunt that I was warning upon a woman -rankled l had no sort of wish to appear a coward in her eyes. and if I could prevail with Beltano without using the fact of Molta's presence, I would do so.
 Now. Beppo make an end of this folly" he said.

 I waited with anxious curiosity to see what steps Beltano would take next. could not say whether he knew how the formation of the win dows would assist me. or whether he had taken my words as a mere bluff If he did know. the problem before him was very stiff one.

Committee on the District of Columbia,
is In danger Of defeat is the belief OF
those who have watched the political

Six Gents Per Quar-

One pint of Van Camps, when you re-
place the water, makes about thr.e pints
of rich milk
The cost of such milk, il you buy
Van Camps by the case, is about six
cents per quart.
Van Camps, when it comes to you, is
as thick as thick cream. So thick that
you add one part water for coffee. Yet
it costs half what cream costs.
Then you have no waSte-no shortage
You open the cans as you need them.
So, the finest milk in America is also
the cheapest milk. Pure milk costs less
than impure-rich milk less than half
milk.
Do you know any reason for paying
more for raw milk than you must pay
for Van Camp'sf
The Washington times., 1908-10-05
Nothing But Milk

Van Camps is simply rich Holstein
milk, with two-thirds the water evapo-
rated.
Nothing whatever is added-no sugar,
no starch, no preservative.
Don't confuse Van Camps with con-
densed milk, which is half sugar-a milk
that yoc can't use in cooking.
Van Camps comes to you just as it
comes from the COW, less part of the
water.
Analysis shows about 80 per cent of
solids, of which per cent is butter fat.
Only the germs are lacking-the dan
gers, the impurities, the infections.
The Washington times., 1908-10-05
Cook With 1t

Note the delicious, surprising favor
that Van Camps gives to milk dish.
That favor comes solely from milk.
Van Camps is the whole milk-some-
thing you never get from your milkman.
All of the butter fat, all of the solids are
in it.
Your mi1kmau's milk, before you get It,
stands awhile and separates. The butter
fat rises and the solids fall
You get a different milk from every
part of the can. But you never get the
whole milk-neVer get it twice alike.
Then, the butter fat you do get is Oft
en- SKINNED off before the milk goes into
cooking.
So you get'a new favor when you cook
with Van Camps. Yet it's only the favor
of whole, rich milk
Try it once. You'll never again make
milk dishes out of raw milk.

So are the men who milk them.
Our dairies are sanitary We make a

All that science, skill and care can do

Van Camps has been submitted to

found in it.
Not so with milkman's milk.
Every drop of raw milk has nlyriads of
germs in it. And many of those germs
are dangerous.
In Washington, d. C., it was recently
found that II per cent of the dealers sold
tubercular milk.
And the germs in milk are known to

OF all the dangers that threaten man
