Ing some directions to those about him Ine hght was bad and the distance con- sioeraole so I would not risk a shot, as miss would have revealed my Wnereabouts to no purpose.
 Ills plan was soon formed, and pres entiy his men appeared with tools and began to work to cut stepping places | In the rock.
 This did not alarm me, however, as l could easily stop them from the hole .n the wall below, Meanwhile, the boat of which Pep ita had told me had approached near enough to the island for me to make out that there were two men in her, | and concluded. therefore, that they were some of Beltanos men, who had been instructed to follow him. It was | bad news, of course, as they would strengthen his force.
 l returned to the room below and renewed my crowbar work and soon completed such an opening as would | serve my purpose.
 My first shot stopped them. They dropped their tools and scrambled back | in fine scare; and as soon as they had gone I called Pepita and told her | to watch through the hole. and tn en went to Masita.
 | The firing ;n front of us ceased all most directly. and 1t was an open in- | feat for this latest attempt,
 Tt is getting very dark; do you think he will make any other attempt?'' asked Masita when I told her this. somewhat jubilantly.
 Tt Is not too dark to see anyone against the white rock" l The log IS still by the door and he might attempt rush for it."
 T wish he would. and with all my heart that he himself would lead" | "Beppor she cried, reading my thought

ONLY ONE WAY TO RETAIN
 GOOD HEALTH, SAYS COOPER

L. T. cooper's theory regarding the human stomach is rapidly becoming . topic of universal discussion. Coop CT claims that the human stomach has become chronically deranged by mod ern conditions. and that sickness gem eraily results.
 In a recent interview. while intro ducing his medicine in a leading city. Mir. Cooper said. There is just one way. in my opinion, to maintain gem eral health. and that is by building up the digestive organs. The vast ma jority of Americans today have weak, iabby. distended stomachs. This has been caused by many generations of over-feeding and lack of exercise. un- til today the entire civilized race is affected This is the true cause of most of the 1T health of today. Little can he done to relieve 1t until the stomach is once more brought back to normal conditions.
 T am successful because my pre- paration puts the stomach in sound

 In the Rhapsodie Hongroise by Liszt. the life scenes and words of the Gypsy samp were admirably portrayed and showed forctbly the association or musical expression with life ideas. The capricious. bright and impetuous dance movement was particularly pleasing.

 This was the last of the graduating recitals and brought together an at tentive and appreciative audience.

CHAPTER xxXIII. BeIfanO'a Ruae.


 A very short reflection convinced me that the danger was not anything like so serious as 1t appeared. Beltano had probably heard that the cliff path had been recut: ard as he was reckoning that he could use 1t without difficulty, I judged that he would select that way for the main attack.
 Then I observed that, although the firing still continued in front of it. it slackened considerably. I could make out only three or four holes in the section of rock, and while the guns had been at first fired simultaneously, no more than two shots were now being fired together
 I drew a breath of relief. I knew what this meant. The force at Bel tano's disposal had been so weakened as the result of the attempts on the door, that he had not enough men for a double attack. I jumped to the con- clusion. tn erefore, that he had pFopped a couple of his wounded behind the rock and set tn em to fire in order to distract my attention while he made the attempt at the other side of the building.
 would answer ruse with ruse. Pep ita, Ike the rest of the women on tn c island, knew how to use firearms. so I told her and Masita to keep a gun showing from each window and to fire an occasional shot. This would give the impression that I was waiting for the approach of the men that way. and in the meanwhile I had ran up to the lookout to watch Beltano.
 Taking care not to be seen, peered out, and then laughed. The two men he had sent n advance had just discov- cred that the work had done on the path after Giuseppe and Drako had used it to get at me, had rendered 1t iy,7na ssahle ITnahle to believe this. he recalled the men and climbed out to see for himself.
 If had thought to take up my gun with me, could have finished the light between us there and then, and ran down at once to fetch it. But on my return the chance was gone. He had gone back and was standing giv-
