anese combined to hinder the signing
of mysterious papers, he should have
realized that the matter was not OF
private, but of public Importance. But
the true Significance of the events
into which he had been drawn had es-
/ capped his logical mind. 1t had never
occurred to him that such a series of
plots, frequent though they might be
In continental Europe, could ever be
attempted in a country like the United
States. And then, he had actually
thought of little besides the girl and
her needs.
He glanced at her now, but her gaze
was fixed on the scene before them.
The brightness Of her eyes and her
quickened breathing told him how in
tense was her interest.
Across the table from the secretary
of state sat younger man. His breast
glittered with decorations, and his
bearing and appearance had all the
stiffness of the high-born Teuton.
OF the men who stood behind the
two seated figures, some were young,
some were old, but all were weighted
with the gravity of a great moment.
Orme inferred that they were secre-
taries and attaches.
And now pens scratched on paper.
The secretary Of state and the Ger
man ambassador-for Orme knew that
1t must be he-were signing docu.
ments, apparently in duplicate, for
they exchanged papers after signing
and repeated the action. So these
were the papers which at the last
hour Orme had restored; and this was
the scene which his action had made
possible-all for the sake Of girl.
And when the last pen-stroke had
been completed and the seated men
raised their eyes and looked at each
other--looked at each other with the
responsible glance of men who have
made history-at that moment the girl
whispered to Orme: Come" and 81
lently he followed her back to the
room in which he had frss awaited

turned and faced him, "Oh. Girl. sm

SURVIVOR OF FAMOUS FIGHT
Veteran of Battle Of San Jaeinto Hon
ored by Texas Legislature With

fourth anniversary Of the battle OF

over Texas, was an event of special

Mr.. Steele was the recipient Of sig

ture. He was voted handsome gold
medal by the state which was pre-
sented him by committee Of legisla-
tors. A large painting Of Mr.. Steele
was also purchased by act of legisla-
ture, and will be hung in the Texas

Mr.. Steele has in his possession the
original muster roll of General Hous-
tons army. He has used this roll on
several occasions to disprove claims
Of persons that they were In the IA

Mr.. Steele gives an interesting de-
scription Of the battle Of San Jacinto,
which took place on that day. He
says:
After dinner on April 21, Santa
Anna who was close upon US, received
about five hundred additional troops
under command Of General Cos. We
received orders to prepare for battle.
We advanced upon the Mexicans in
the following order: Houston with
the artillery in the center; the cav

breastworks out of their baggage,
