was going west.
The old trail to Oregon was laid
out by no government, arranged by no
engineer, planned by no surveyor, sup
ported by no appropriation. 1t sprang,
a road already created, from the earth
itself, covering 1900 miles of our
country. Why? Because there was
need for that country to be covered
by such a trail at such a time. Be-
cause we needed Oregon.
We carried with us all the elements
of society, as has the Anglo-Saxon
ever. Did any man offend against the
unwritten creed of fair play, did he
shirk duty when that meant danger
to the common good, then he was
brought before a council of our lead
ers, men of wisdom and fairness,
chosen by the vote of all; and SO he
was judged and he was punished. At
that time there was not west of the
Missouri river any one who could ad.
minister an oath, who could execute
a legal document, OF perpetuate any
legal testimony; yet with US the law
marched pari passu across the land.
We had leaders chosen because they
were fit to lead, and leaders who felt
full sense of responsibility to those
who chose them.
At the head of our column, we bore
the flag of our republic. On our tanks
were skirmishers, like those guarding
the TANKS of an army. 1t was an
army-an army of u people. With
us marched women. With us marched
home. That was the difference be-
tween our cavalcade and that slower
and more selfish one, made UP of men
alone, which that same ear was
faring westward along the upper
reaches of the Canadian plains. That
was why we won. 1t IA because
women and plows were with us.

personal and official correspondence,
which necessarily was very heavy.
This work we customarily began about
nine Of the morning. On the following
day I was on hand earlier than usual.
1 was done with Washington now,
done with everything, eager only to
be off on the far trails once more.
But 1 almost forgot my own griefS
when I saw my chief. Over him hung
an air of utter WEAKNESS; yet, shame
to my own despair, energy showed in
all his actions. He greeted me with a
smile which strangely lighted his grim
face.
We have good news of some kind
this morning, sir?" / inquired.
In answer, he motioned me to a
document which lay open upon his
table. 1t was familiar enough to me
l glanced at the bottom. There we're
two signatures!
Texas ~agrees!" I exclaimed. THE
DOna Lucrezia has won Van Zandt's
signature!"
l looked at him. His own eyes were
swimming wet! This, then, was that
man Of whom it is only remembered
that he was a p%ro-slavery champion.
w are certain to encounter oppo-
sition. The senate may not ratify,"
said he. Il am perfectly well ad.
vised of how the vote will be when
this treaty comes before it for rati-
fication. We will be beaten, two to
One!"
Then, does that not end it?"
END it? No! There are always
other ways. If the people of this coun-
try wish Texas to belong to our 1ag,
she will so belong. 1t is good as Gone
today. Never look at the obstacles;
look at the goal! It was this intrigue
of a Zandt's which stood in oar
way By playing one intrigue against
another, we have won thus far. We
must go on winning!"
He paced up and down the room,
one hand shifting the other. Let Eng
land whistle now!" he exclaimed ex-
ultantly. 1--WE shall annex Texas, in
full view, indeed, of all possible con-
sequences. There can be no conse-
Quences, for England has no excuse
left for war over Texas. I only wish
the situation were as clear for Ore
gon. And 10Y comes on that next
nominating convention. at Baltimore"
What will it do?" I hesitated.
God knows. For me, I have no
party. I am alone! 1 have but few
friends in all the world"-he smiled
nOw-"you, my boy, as I said, and DIX.
Ward and a few women, all of whom

1 remained silent at this shot,
which came home to me; but he
smiled, still grimly, shaking his head.

DISFTGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but q few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night his
little face itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after foul weeks the lear
child'S face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every n who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q
head Of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene

gently. Keep Them she said, "for
the owner of that other wedding gift
the one which 1 received"
Now l broke out. Good God! How
can 1 be held to blame for the act of
a drunken friend? You know Jack
cambridge as we'll as 1 do myself. I
cautioned him-I was not responsible
for his condition"
ct was not that decided me-
you could not believe it was I who
sent you that accursed shoe which De-
lOnged to another woman"
He said it came from you Where
did you get it, them"
Now, as readily may be seen, l was
obliged again to hesitate. There were
good reasons to keep my lips sealed.
I flushed. The red of confusion which
cane to my cheek was matched by
that of indignation in her own. I
could not tell her, and she could not
understand, that my work for Mr.. Cal
houn with that other woman was
work for America, and so as sacred
and as secret as my own owe for
her. Innocent, l still seemed guilty.
$50, then, you do not say? l do not
ask you"
II do not deny It,"
you do not care to tell me where
you got it."
NO." said 1; 81 will not tell you
where l got it,"
"Why?'
because that would involve another
woman"
Involve another woman? Do you
think, then, hat on this one day Of
her life, a girl likes to think of her
her lover-as involved with n other
woman? All, you made me begin to
think. l could not help the chill that
came on my heart. Marry you'll
could not! I could, now"
But you loved me once" I said
banally.
Il dc not consider it fair to mention
that now"
Il never loved that other woman. I
had never seen her nor than once.
You do not know her"
"Ah, is that it? Perhaps I could tell
you something of one Helena Won
Ritz. Is it not so?"
Yes, that was the property of
4AC1Cud tOA 1N1IGJ / lO4u uSI, 4OOhAuS
her fairly in the eye.
Kind of you, indeed, to involve me,
as you say, with a lady of her prece-
dents!"
81 hardly think n one is quite just
to that lady" said slowly.
Except Mr.. Nicholas Trist! A beau
tiful and accomplished lady, 1 doubt
not, in his mind"
Still I went on stubborn1y: But
may 1 not see your father and have
my chance again? l cannot let it go
this way. 1t is the ruin of my life"
But nov she was advancing, drop
ping down a step at a time, and heE
face was turned straight ahead. The
pink Of her gown was matched by the
pink Of her cheeks. I saw the title
working of the white throat wherein
some sobs seemed sitting. And so
she went away AMI left me.

CHAPTER XXI.-Continued.

Her face was half hidden by her
fan. and her eyes, covered by their
deep lids, gave no sign of her
thoughts. The same cold voice went
on:
you might, for instance, tell Mr..
Polk, which is to SAL Mr.. Van Zandt,
that if his name goes on this little
treaty for Texas, nothing will be said
to Texas regarding his proposal to
give Texas owe to England. 1t might
not be safe for that little fact gen.
orally to be known in Texas as it is
known to me. We will keep it secret.
You might ask Mr.. Van Zandt if he
would value a seat in the senate OF
these United States, rather han a
lynching rope! So much do l value
your honorable acquaintance with Mr..
Polk and Mr.. Van Zandt, my dear
lady, that | do not go to the latter and
demand his signature in the name of
his republican,, | merely suggest to
yOu hat did you take his little treaty
FOR a day, and presently return it to
me with his signature attached, /
should feel SO deeply gratifed that I
should not ask you by what means
you had attained this most desirable
result! And l should hope that if you
could not win back the affections of a
certain gentleman, at least you might
win your own evening Of the scales
with him."
Her face cOlOred darkly. In a flash
she saw the covert allusion to the
f6ithless Pakenham. Here was the
chance to cut him to the soul. She
could cost England Texas! Revenge
made its swift appeal to her savage
heart. Revenge and jealousy, han
died coolly, mercilessly as Weapons
those cost England Texas!
She sat. her fan tight at her white
ceeth. 1T would be death to me if it
we're known" she said. But still she
%pondered, her eye alight with somber
fire, her lark cheek red in a Woman's
anger.
But it never will be known, my
dear lady. These things, however,
must be concluded swiftly. We have
not time to wait. Let us not argue
over the unhappy business. Let me
think of Mexico as our sister republic
n our friend"
And suppose l shall not do this
that you ask, senor?"
That, my dear lady, l do not sup
pose!"
You threaten, Senior Secretary?'
"On the contrary, l implore! Dear
lady. may we not c%onspire together
for the ultimate good of three repub-
lies, making of them two noble ones,
later to dwell in amity? Shall we not
hope to see all this continent swept
free of monarchy, held free, for the
peoples Of the world?"
For an instant, no more she sat and
pondered. Suddenly she bestowed
upon him a smile whose brilliance
might have turned the head of an
other man. Rising. she swept him a
curtsey whose grace l have not seen
surpassed.
In return, Mr.. Calhoun bowed to her
with dignity and ease, and, lifting her
hand, pressed it to his lips. Then, Of
fering her an arm, he led her to his
carriage. / could scarce believe my
eyes and ears that so much, and of so
much Importance. had thus so easily
been accomplished. where all had
seemed SO near to the impossible.

order to acquaint him somewhat with
our governmental machinery and to
put him in touch with some of the
sources Of information to which he
would need to refer in the work upon
which he was now engaged. We had
spent a couple of hours together, and
were passing across the capitol, with
the intent of looking in upon the de-
alterations of the houses Of congress,
when all at once, as we crossed the
corridor, 1 felt him touch my arm.
Did you see that young lady?" he
asked me. She looked at you, yess?"
was in the act of turning, even as
he spoke. Certainly had I been alone
l would have seen Elizabeth, would
have known that she was there.
1t was Elizabeth, alone, and hurry
ing away! Already she was approach
ing the first stair. In a moment she
would be gone. l sprang after her by in
stinct, without plan, clear in my mind
only that she was going, and with her
all the light of the world; that she
was going, and that she was beautiful,
adorable; that she was going, and that
she was Elizabeth!
AS 1 tool a few rapid steps toward
her, l had full opportunity to see that
no grief had preyed upon her comeli-
ness, nor had concealment fed upon
her damask cheek. Almost with some
resentment l saw that she had never
seemed more beautiful than on this
morning. The costume of those days
was trying to any but a beautiful
woman; yet Elizabeth had a way of
avoiding extremes which did not ap-
peal to her individual taste. Her frock
now was all in pink, as became the
gentle spring, and the bunch of sill
very ribbons which fluttered at her
belt had quite the agreeing shade to
finish in perfection the cool, sweet pic
ture that she made
Elizabeth"
Seeing hat there was no escape,
she paused now and turned toward
me. l have never seen a glance like
hers.
How do you do?" she remarked.
Her voice was all cool white enamel.
She vas there somewhere, but I
could not see her clearly now. 1t
! was not her voice. l took her hand,
yes; but it had now none of answer
