IF war is declared" she went on,
will you WELD your sword for Cuba
with as much sincerity as you would

Is that a request?" he asked.
If you regard it as SUCH

Holton got up with n gesture OF de-
precation. He had taken her hand and
tempt TO draw 1t way.
IF you ever hear anything concern
ing me-now or in the future, will
you withhold judgment until-until
you ask me about it and have me ex-
plain?"
Il promise" replied Holton There
was faint pressure on his fingers, a
bright smile, and the next instant he

AsNhe stood thus. someone touched
him on\the arm, and CHANGING about
Holton was confronted by thick-set
man in evening dress.
"A very charming girl, Mr. Holton. "
observed the stranger
Holton flushed angrily
And who are you?" he asked blunt
ly
My name is Harper" was the reply
Il happen to be in the Secret Service
By the way, do you know anything
about the young woman with whom
you were dancing?"
Who? Miss La Tossa? Oh. yes
But Holton suddenly realized how lit
tie he did know.
How well do you know Miss La
Tossa?" the other asked suddenly.
"Oh, mere acquaintance; recent. "
answered Holton.
Did you know that that young WON
an has been giving us more trouble
than all the rest put together?"
Rest OF WHAT" demanded Holton
eagerly
Rest of the spies, OF course"
Holton thought a moment and then
there required to him the girls parting
words: IF you ever hear anything
concerning me now or in the future,
will you withhold judgment until you
ask me about it and have me explain ?''
And he had promised. Well. he would
make good his word. He would have
her explain.
He turned to the Secret Service man
beside him.
What you have said is very inter.
esting," he said. I'm good time may
have supplementary information"
Don't tell me you didn't know this
all the while?' smiled the detective.
I'm telling nothing" and Holton
turned away.

cealed her race with heavy veil, and
went out of the hotel.
Early next morning Holton set out
for his audience with the assistant
secretary.
We'll, what did you Learnt" was the
smiling greeting he received from his
superior.
Roosevelt's eyes never blinked as
Holton told his story, but when he had
concluded he leaned forward.
We'll. how do you like detective
work."

Secretary. / think | have demon
strated that"
"Ahem, don't know, Mr.. Holton. l
tell you, it was more or less OF
within of mine, sending you to the ball.
l had hoped you might meet a Miss
La Tossa. In fact ! had requested
Secret Service man to bring you two
together"
Holton started.
"Oh," he said, Il did meet her"
Holton proceeded to recount his ex-
periences with the girl, beginning with
the incident of the waiter and the
gold-mesh bag and ending with his
dance and his interview with the de-
tective.
We'll" responded Mr. Roosevelt,
you have done exactly as l might
have wished you TO do, and, having
done this. it is my desire that you
cultivate her acquaintance assiduously
and report to me whenever you learn
anything that may appear valuable"
He noticed the blank face of the Off
Ger. What is the matter?" he asked
But, Mr.. Secretary, ! cannot spy
upon her-she is my friend Why"
he cried warmly, she's the finest girl
you ever metI"
Why, my dear Holton, cannot you
see? She was spying upon you"
Il cannot see how she was doing
that" protested Holton. she made
no attempt"
We'll, see here, Mr.. Holton. you
have established your acquaintance.
Now, then, l ask you this: If you dis
cover In the course of your friendship
with her that she is working to injure
our country, will you take steps to
prevent her doing SO and to apprise
me as to the facts?"
II am under oath to the United
States, sir"
We'll. then, that is all ! ask. You
are ordered hereby to pursue your
acquaintance with this young woman
to that end"
yes, sir" replied Holton. II sup
pose then that shall remain in Wash

No. Mr.. Holton, you'll not be IN
Washington long. Miss La Tossa left
for Tampa this morning."
Holton started to his feet
And I'm to follow herr"
Yes. at once, please. You had bet
ter arrange about transportation and
the like Immediately"
Thank you, sir"
Holton did not hear the laughter
that followed his outburst of gratitude,
or at least he paid no attention to It.
For the one thought that filled his
mind was that he was going to some
heavenly place where his dance part

Holton looked at her curiously.

about her waist and the next instant

She had already discovered that

SCALY PSORIASIS ON LIMBS

Mccoy, Sparta, Wis., was troubled
with psoriasis for nearly two years
Portions of my arms and limbs were
affected mostly with it. 1t appeared
in scaly form, breaking out in very
small dots and gradually grew larger
and white scales formed when about
the size of an ordinary match-head.
The looks of it was horrible, which
made it very unpleasant for me. 1t
itched little at times.
I tried several treatments which
cured me for a month, but it always
broke out again. One day a friend

questions, her father began to do that
very thing without, apparently, wait

the two we're within the little ante

"Carita!" he expostulated. You

fact that each student should de-

The examination papers are

Are there any questions to be

Silence prevailed. Suddenly a

than had been expected. He had,
sent word, but he had arrived be-
fore his own letter. So he had
strolled quietly in.
He saw the rooms brilliantly
lighted, but, when he entered the
hall, none of the guests knew him.
He knew some of them for the
fashy, shabby characters that
they were; but this quiet man,
with the hair slightly gray over
the temples-who was he? No
body cared. They were dancing
no longer, but whispering and
gossiping in the drawing rooms,
and lettering near the, conserva-
tory. Somebody had told them
that Rizzi and Lady Rensley
were there.
Then RenSley entered the con-
servatory alone. And Lady Rens-
ley, seeing him, drew back with
frightened catch OF the breath,
and Rizzi, knowing him, rose to
his feet and stood looking at him
dehantly, with folded arms.
Pardon me for interrupting,
said Lord Rensley. Baron Rizzi?
Yes? Pray what is it you so ur-

that you go down upon your
knees to herr"
Since he did not answer Rens-

My dear, is it in our power, or
is it your desire to grant this gen
tleman what he is asking?" he
demanded.

wilderment. "Nop
