The next moment two horses were
galloping down the driveway, a merci-
less whip cutting streaks in their
backs. Never before had two steeds
raced so madly through the streets
or the old capital; never before had a
driver taken such chances.
AS Jerry sprang out of the carriage
at the dock, just as the clock in tall
tower near by rang out the hour Of
four. he threw a handful OF coins at
the dazed driver and dashed for the
pier OF the Pranzos.
The gang-plank was just being taken

not wait for the plank to be reset. but
jumped for the rail. which he barely
reached.

CHAPTER KIN.
A Hitch in a Program.

All preparations for the great re
ception 20 Capt Jerry Chambers had
practically been completed. The
peasants fste had begun. and tho
city of Pandaro never before had been
in such gala dress. The bright colors
Of the new Confederacy fluttered from
every building. and the public houses
were almost hidden from view by
bunting and streaIners. The visitors
came early. and when the fete was
begun there were fully $4,000 country
people mingling with the democrats Of
the capital
The absence OF Marina Bostos cast
a gloom over the occasion. That she
was dead was believed by almost
everybody, and the faint hope in Jer-
rvs breast that she might be alive
was now but a dim spark 1t was sug-
gested that one day be given over TO
mourning for the little saint Of
Urania," but the suggestion did not
carry because OF the doubt OF her be-
ing dead. In many churches. however.
prayers for the repose of her soul
were offered. and so certain were
many that she was not alive that they
wore bits OF crepe on their sleeves.
Jerry pleaded that the reception to
him be stricken OF the program. but
In view OF che fact that thousands had
travelled from the countryside TO see
only him and the president OF the ma
ton it was decided that the reception
should be held. Out of Difference to
the memory OF Marina Bostos. how
ever, postponement to May IL was
made.

Leader.
Fastening with all possible speed
from the south, and with these two di-
visions Barado calculated that he
would be strong enough 10 defeat the
forces under Bostos.
He was about ready to move across
the plains 90 a position which nature
had made almost impregnable. when
severe rains set in and continued for
days without cessation. Two streams
coursed 20 the sea between the
armies, and IL was not long before
they were impossible. The rains had
resulted in dire hardships for the revo-
IutiOnists. and after the first down
pours hundreds OF men fell in with
fever. which. though fatal to many.
was combated with reasonable sue
cess by the hospital forces.
Capt. Pilaro waited too long before
he placed himselI under the care OF
the nurses; and, In the middle OF one
Of the widest storms. he breathed his
last. with Capt. Jerry and Marina
kneeling at his side. Jerry was per-
mitted by Gen. Barado TO assume
ments. and just before the wasted
body was prepared for removal 10 the
captains birthplace, a hamlet about
100 miles southwark. he delivered, in
the presence Of Barado and his stan
officers. a funeral grafton.
Marina. much against the wishes OF
the physicians. was present at the
simple ceremonies. aud. sitting within
few feet of Jerry, her poor body trem-
bled in a sapping chill when the.speak-
or referred TO pity" as that to which
he owed his life. Pity How that
word ranked in her bosom!
Before Jerry Chambers entered The
College he had spent three years at
q military training school on the Had
son. and his knowledge OK military
tactics made him particularly valuable
20 Gen. Barado, whose men knew very

men who accompanied her had been
captured and taken In the direction OF
Pandaro.
Following the Instructions OF Gen.
Bostos." said the scout. .sthe BODY OF
Pilaro was cut 20 pieces and burned
with what remained OF his uniform.
lhese words reached the ears of the
almost frantic BOstos, who pleaded
that every EFFORT be made to recover
his daughter.
I shall DO all in my power 70 re-
cover your daughter" said Barado.
and he forthwith dispatched men in
all directions.
Gen. Bar~d0's sweeping victory
practically ended the bitter war. The
government at Pandaro now was hope
lessly overmatched. and even the most
loyal supporters OF Cardovas urged
him 10 acknowledge the inevitable and
10 give up before more blood was
needlessly spilled. Thenews of Barado's
victory created panic at the capital:
thousands OF terror stricken loyal
lists fed TO the mountains.
President Cardovas. in last desper-
ate effort. concentrated his discour-
aged, halfhearted forces around Pan
daro, determined 20 prevent. N pos

When the Bulgars are a-bulging. and the

And the merry Montenegrins are grandil-

And the servians are serving prussic
acid to the Turks.
And the Russians are a-rushing to the
theater of action,
And the rollicking Roumanians are
romping DER the lea,
While the Austrians are smiling with a
deal Of satisfaction

How love to watch the War cloud as 1t

How love to hear the s.trouble. trou-

And the waflings of the prophets for the

Yet we know one party dassen't and the
