The military maneuvers as the
boys marched IN the sweltering

AS a whole, this camp was one
of the best ever held In this
state, and Col. Henry, who is
every inch of a soldier, is the
idol of his men. He seemed
deeply interested in their well
fare, and they appreciate it.
Capt. Rash. Regimental Adju-
tant, made himself very popular
with the rank and file of the
Regiment. Majors Berry and
Bernhard were also painstakiug
in giving the boys agood time;
however. not without exercising
disciplinary control over them.
Surgeon Major Watkins had his
corps to take special care of the
sick and injured, and the excess
sive heat kept them quite busy.
One of the principal features
of the encampment was the
Third Infantry Band, under the
leadership of Captain w. 2.
Daniel, Chief Musician. The
evening concerts were classic in
their order. The Third Infantry
Band is one of the best military
bands in this country, and was
always ready to entertain the
officers and the citizens during
the encampment. During Guard |

with those hands," he silently re-
Elected, "it's either ladyor a thief,
or both.''
Barak took several little twists Of
tissue paper from the bag, laid them
in row on the tablecloth and then
began to open them one by one. Each
tiny parcel contained ruby, and when
the young man counted them there
were five in all, and they were fine
stones if they were genuine; but Mr..
Van Torp was neither credulous nor
easily surprised. When Barak looked
to see what impression he had pro.
duced on such a desirable buyer, he
was disappointed.
Nice" said the American careless
ly; nice rubies, but I've seen better.
l wonder if they're real, anyway.
They've found out how, to make them
by chemistry now, you know"
But Barak understood nothing, of
course, beyond the fact that Mr.. Van
Torp seemed Indifferent, which was a
common trick of willy customers; but
there was something about this ones
manner that was not assumed. Barak
took the finest of the stones with the
tips of his slender young fingers, laid
1t in the palm of his other hand, and
held it under Mr.. Van Torp's eyes,
looking at him with an inquiring ex-
preston. But the American shook his
head.
mo rubies to-day, thank you," he
said.
Barak nodded quietly, and at once
began to wrap up the stones, each in
its own bit of paper, putting the twists
back into the bag one by one. Then
he drew the thongs together and tied
them in a neat sort of knot which Mr.
Van Torp had never seen The young

CHAPTER w.

Without offending Mr.. Van Torp,
Lady Maud managed not to see him
again for some time, and when he I'M
derstood, as he soon did, that this was
her wish, he made no attempt to force
himself upon her. She was probably
thinking over what he had said, and
in the end she would exert her in
fiuence as he had begged her to do.
He was thoroughly persuaded that
there was nothing unfair in his pro-
posal and that, when she was con-
WINGED that he was right, she would
help him.
But when he had taken the first
step towards accomplishing his pur-
pose, he was very much at loss as
to the next, and he saw that he had

you, anyway? Your eyes are popping
out of your head. Do you feel as if
you were going to have a fit? l say!
Stemp!"
Barak was indeed violently affected
by the sight of the uncut ruby, and
his face had changed in a startling
way; great vein like whipcord sud-
denly showed itself on his smooth
forehead straight up and down; his
lids had opened so wide that they I'M
covered the white of the eye almost
all around the iris; he was biting his
lower lip so that 1t was swollen and
blood-red against the little white
teeth; and a moment before Mr.. Van
Torp had called out to his servant, the
young man had reeled visibly, and
would have collapsed If the American
had not caught the slender waist and
supported the small head against his
shoulder with his other hand.
Stemp was not within hearing.
therefore Mr.. Van Torp called to him
in vain, and meanwhile stood where
he was with his arm round Barak,
and Barak's head on his shoulder; but
as no one came at his call, he lifted
the slim figure gently and carried it
towards the sofa and while he was
crossing the large room with his bur-
den the palpable truth was forced
upon him that his visitors slimness
was more apparent than real, and an
affair of shape rather than of pounds.
Before he had quite reached the
lounge, however, Barak stirred, wrig.
gled in his arms, and sprang to the
floor and stood upright, blinking lit
tie, like person waking from
dream, but quite steady, and trying to
smile in an apologize sort of way,

Nickel Trust, trebled the stock,
cleared a profit of thirty millions and
ruined nobody but the small-fry, who,
of course, deserved it on the principle
that people who cannot keep money

newspaper man had then nicknamed
It the Brass Trust, and had called him

Mr.. Van Torp did not quite see how
he could Immediately apply the force
Of money to further his plans with
effect. He knew his adversary's finan-
cial position in Europe much too well
to think OF trying to attack him on
that ground: and besides, in his rough
code II would not be fair play to do
that II was "all right" to ruin a hos

He was silent now that she wished

aire stopped him.
Say, don't go Just yet. I'll show
you a ruby that'll make you sit up"
He rose as he spoke, and Barak I'M
derstood his smile and question. and
waited. Mr.. Van Torp went into the
next room, and came back almost i'm
mediately. bringing a small black mo-
rocco case, which he set on the table
and unlocked with a little key that
hung on his watchchain. He was not
fond of wearing jewelry, and the box
held all his possessions OF that sort,
and was not full. There were three
or four sets of plain studs and links;
there were half a dozen very big gold
collar studs; there was bit of an old
gold chain, apparently cut on at each
end. and having one cheap little dia-
mond set in each link; and there was
a thin old wedding ring that must
have been a woman's; besides few
other vaiueless trinkets, all lying loose
and in confusion. Mr.. Van Torp shook
the box a little, poked the contents
about with one large finger, and soon
found an uncut red stone about the
size of a hazelnut, which he took out
and placed on the white cloth before
the visitor.

TEAM WORKS 0UT
 FOR GAME

ALBUQUERQUE. N. M.. Aug. ls.- Fifteen hundred dollars in pr.zes are to be offered the teams competing in the big baseball tournament at the Twepty-ninth New Mexico Fair and Resources Exposition in Albuquerque from the 11th to the l7th of october.
 There has been greater interest in baseball in the southwest m the past year than ever before, and every cross roads town has it's crack twirler and it's local celebrities. The season has saw the spectacle. Every division brought out some fast and classy ma terial, and there are more spotters for the big leagues watching New Mexico brush material than ever before.
 The Fair ser.es this year is expect ed to bring out the very best baseball talent in the southwest Raton. Las Vegas, Trinidad, Santa Fe, Gallup. So corro. Fl Paso, Alamogordo. Belen and
 .s a dozen other towns will enter teams and will send aggregations, strength ened at every available point with the best ball players they can secure for love or money. There is going to be some baseball at the Fair.
 The tournament is going to be the more interesting from the fact that President William Howard Taft will witness the big game of the series from the Traction Park grand stand. The New Mexico, Arizona and south ern Colorado fans are going to be on hand en masse. Arizona in particular is going to send some of her crack teams to the fair and the tournament will be most thoroughly representative of the Great Southwest.
