Tony Cortz, known to his fell
low "newsies" as little Grip"
because of his loss of a leg in a
railway accident, is waving his
crutch triumphantly these days as
he gathers in the pennies at his
new stand.
Newsboys in Tacoma do not rua
all over town and encroach on
others rights or territory. Each
is supposed to stay in his own
section. Tony was handicapped

him to do. He tried to look un-

Colonel Quinnox, who had been
the degage American in
the most earnest manner. -

A messenger was sent post

already was spreading througho out
the castle. The chamber door was
wide open and men were coming
and going. Eager women were

a glimpse of the American. &

cried General Braze quickly.

mitted the honor of naming my
companion" said Truxton, grin
ming inwardly with a malicious
joy.
Vos Engo turned yellowish
green. His eyes bulged.
Il am in command of the
person of his Royal Highness," he
stammered, suddenly going very
lred.

l"Pray pardon the embarrassment

They did not know whether to
laugh or to treat it as a serious
announcement.
Mr.. Hobbs came. That is to
say, he was produced. 1t is
doubtful if Mr.. Hobbs ever fully
recovered from the malady COM
monty known as stage fright. He
had never been called Mr.. Hobbs
by a prime minister before, nor
had he ever been asked in person
by a minister of war if he had q
family at home. Moreover, no as
semblage of noblemen had ever
condescended to unite in three
lcheers for him. Afterward Trux-
ton King was obliged to tell him
that he had unwaveringly volun-
teered to accompany him on the
perilous trip to the hills. Be sure
of it, Mr.. Hobbs was not in a mem
tai condition for many hours I'd
even remotely comprehend what
had taken place. He only knew
that he had been invited, as an
English gentleman, to participate
| in council of war.
But Mr.. Hobbs was not the
kind to falter, once he had given
his word; however hazy he may
have been at the moment, he knew
that he had volunteered to do
something. Nor did it seem to
lsurprise him when he finally
found out what 1t was.

his pocket for the missing watch.
"As you say, Mr.. King. just as

sorely crushed. A low laugh from

a shaft to his soul. He looked up.

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was. at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, in reality, the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour. suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate so ravenously that she fixed sec
ond which he likewise finished.
1T was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.

foods, but he will have none of them.
