 The soldiers turned off into the out kirts of the town.
 The rain was pattering dismally. It peat into Holton's face and ran in 1ivulets down the road. The lights ahead showed with a watery blur; it was in all a night that man or beast might wish himself indoors.
 Presently he came to a street which presented vista of a long line Of street lamps. Evidently it led into he heart of the city. Holton followed past stores and houses, until at length he stood in the patio before the palace" Here there were lights in all the windows. Evidently the official machinery was working overtime. The lights gave him sense of comfort the doubtful sort of comfort that a man out in the cold feels wben he ! looks in at company gathered about q genial fire.
 Iiolton's emotions were those of pariah He was an outcast, and more than that an outcast who would speed fly feel a hempen rope about his neck i If he were not extremely careful Somehow the thought that he was a py had slipped his mind for the time being
 For more than an hour he stumbled along, leaving the city. crossing the tracks of the Sabanilla and Maroto railroad, until he came to a gate uard6 by d matched lodge. Upon he walls of the gate were emblazoned he Spanish coat of-arms. It was brown back, and soldier stood ill he opening.
 Nho comes there?" be asked, bringing his gun across his chest.
 "Cardenas, cried llolton. giving the ountersign as he had heard it several ines that night.
 He walked forward T have 6 message from General To. fal for Senor La Tossa. Does he live iare?' he added
 The sentinel threw his gun into the hollow of his arm.
 No" he replied You must walk ID this road two miles. It is the first sstate on your left"
 Holton politely thanked the soldier and proceeded on his way His shoes were eaked with mud and his clothing

 He could see table, and around il ome men in uniform. drinking anu ,moking. The figures were, of course, ndistinct. and although Holton could 'atch the sound of their voices. he "ould not make out what was being aid
 As he crouched thus under the win. low-ledge the front door opened, and figure passed out and walked to one nd 0. the long veranda, Here the man emitted a low whistle, which was ..ot answered. With muttered excla. nation, the stranger retraced his steps, and. walking directly past iol. on in the other direction, leaned over lie railing and whistled again.
 iIolton never afterward knew what possessed him, but he noticed that the man had left the front door slightly aiar. Acting npon quick thought, he suddenly leaned down. uniaced his shoes, and thea, with a quick glance at the fellow still leaning over the railing aud eursing under his breath, he stole from his position, made for the open door. and slipped hastily and noiselessiy into the hall

 Into this apartment, scarcely breath ing, iiolton stole. standing inside the jamb and listening with strained ears.

had come up. The effect of this or the minds of the men. hanging on the hill as though by their teeth, Was not at all reassuring.
 Late in the afternoon Lawton and Chaifee stormed through from Fl Caney, where they and their men had fought a magnificent battle. and bring ing endorsements of four odd thou sand, materially increased the hopeful. ness of the situation.
 At the same time Gen. Joe Wheeler and his staff came out to the trenches with determination not to yield an inch of the position gained. Twilight fell and silence settled over the hill.
 Then came darkness.
 For an hour Holton lay, wondering. doubting How soon would it be be- fore the army would move farther on toward Santiago? That it would be considerably delayed, Holton had req son to fear.
 He arose from his place of retreat with sudden resolution. Slowly he turned until he faced the lights of Santiago. and then with half wave of his hand toward the brave men who had been his comrades, he stepped along the hilltop.
 Halfway down the hill he turned and made another gesture toward the American lines. IL was sort of fare well, a dramatic little act born of hit state of mind.
 Being interpreted, it might have read.

The night was black, the skies had clouded over, and it was raining Halt way down the slope of the hill Holtol stumbled over something. He stopped and looked down and saw a group 0 four regulars contorted in death.
 Holton bowed his head in silent &; lute and passed on. The glory of Wal he felt, must come after the war over. He had felt none of it all throue the battle. The least offensive wof he could apply to this days bushes was that it had been sordid-a glut C blood.

 Over his arm he carried unifor

 The fit was fairly good. and Holto decided that with his unkempt blae hair his beard which had not seen razor for several days. and his sui browned face he might very readi4 pass for a Spanish regular, at night 9 east.

MAD DOG
SCARE in
BISMARK

The mad dog scare has again
broken out in Tacoma and the po-
lice have been asked to send aid
out to Bismarck where several
dogs have gone mad during the
last 4S hours. The people in that
section are panic-stricken and it
is believed that the recent police
rule requiring all dogs in Taco
ma to be muzzled will be again
invoked.
w. r. Hyde reports the loss OF
a fine English setter which had to
be killed on account of dydropho-
bia. Several others have been
dispatched.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. N. H.
Lathrop was attacked by vicious
dog which followed her to her
home. The woman's screams
were heard by neighbors who
rushed to her aid and the animal
was instantly killed.
The police plan to capture all
dogs in Bismarck this afternoon
and to kill all those showing signs
of hydrophobia.

LINEMEN
MAY CALL
A STRIKE

Are city linemen going on q
strike?
II am not authorized and do
not desire to make any threats.
but il the city council turns down
the linemen 1 am prepared to say
that all arrangements have been
made TO take the matter further"
said III. Il. Durant, business agent
for the linernen and groundmen's
union to the city council this
morning when he appeared to de-
mand pay for the men who were
docked for not returning to work
when their warrants were not
ready last month.
The yelled threat to strike or
go to court to collect the money
did not disturb the commission.
II want to say / will stand by
Commissioners Lawson, who says
the men had no business loiter-
ing around here" said the mayor
Durant said that not all the|
linemen had been in the city hall
and that some had been working.
but all were docked the two
hours.
The commissioners all said this
was a mistake and If any man
had worked he should have his
pay.
Durant, however. insisted the
linemen took the position that all
should get full pay whether they
worked or not.
The whole matter will be
threshed over by the council to-
morrow.
