The Alamo, historic because of its
intimate connection with Texan in

of history in proportion to the num-

tured herewith.
Know the story of the Alamo? It's
ine stuff for American men 1t
stands out in the historic pages of
the past century as the true express
sion of the Lone Star Spirit.
Texas had been declared in a state
of rebellion, the inhabitants had been
ordered to disarm, and the invasion
of Santa Anna had followed as thun-
der follows the lightning fash. Gen.
Sam Houston, the military leader OF
the rebels" had no army. There
were no railroads or telegraph lines
by which to summon the scattered
fighters. But Col. Travis, with Davy
Crockett, and Jim Bowie, J. b. Bon
ham, j. Washington and lS3 TeXa:
frontiersmen were in San Antonio
when the Mexican army appeared
and at once resolved to barricade tn,
Alamo and hold the enemy till Hous

At first there was a slender charc
of rescue, but it disappeared as tn
days went by. and the rifiemen quick

Hungry, iamished and withol
sleep, they crouched upon the fl
roof of the Alamo, behind the 10
masonry of the projecting walls f
days and nights, as cool as squirr
hunters, as gay as boys in a snowbs
fight, as patient and as relentless
the vindictive Indian at bay. r

why in this case? And Harry, who had

CHAPTER ~.
Encounters on Parade.

Flora, before the mirror, gayly stab.
bing in her long hatpins, confessed to
herself that last night had been queer,
as queer as queer could be; but this
morning luckily, was real again. Her
fancy last night had-yes, she was
afraid 1t really had-run away with
her. And she turned and held the
hand-mirror high, to. be sure of the
line of her tilted hat, gave touch to
the turn of her wide, close belt, flirt
to the frills of her bodice.
The wind was lightly ruffling and
putting out the muslin curtains of the
windows, and from the garden below
came the long silvery clash of euca-
lyptus leaves. She leaned on the
high window-ledge to look downward
over red roofs, over terraced green,
over steep streets running abruptly
to the broken blue of the bay. She
tried to fancy how Kerr would look
in this morning sun. He seemed to
belong only beneath the high arti-
fetal lights, in the thicker atmosphere
of evening. Would he return again,
with renewed potency, with the same
singular, almost sinister charm, as a
wizard who works his will only by
moonlight? When she should see him
again, what, she wondered, would be
his extraordinary mood?
1t was Clara, standing at the foot of
the stairs, who belonged to the morn
ing, so brisk, so fresh, so practical
she appeared. She held book in her
hand. The door, open for her imme-
diate departure, showed, beyond the
descent of marble steps, the landau
glistening black against white pave
ments. 1t was unusual for this formal
vehicle to put in an appearance so
early.
Il am going to drive over to the
Purdies'," Clara explained. 81 have an
errand there"
Flora smiled at the thought of how
many persons would be having err
rands to the Purdies' now. 1t was re-
freshing to catch Clara in this weak
ness. She felt throb of it herself
when she recalled the breathless mo-
ment at the supper table last even
ing. "Oh, that will be a heavenly
drive she said. please ask me to
go with you. My errand can wait"
why, certainly. should like to
have you," said Clara. But If she had
returned a fiat no." Flora would not
have had dryer sense of unwelcome.
Still, she had gone too far to retreat.
Mischievous reflections of the doc
trine the Englishman had startled her
with the night before fiickered in her
mind as they drove from the door.
Was this part Of "the big red game"
not being accommodating, nor SO very
polite? The streets were still wet
with early fog. and, turning in at the
Preside gate, the expresses dripped
