CHAPTER X.-Continued.

Presently he came to a street which
presented a vista OF long line of
street lamps. Evidently it led into
the heart of the city. Holton followed
II 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 a sense of comfort.
the doubtful sort OF comfort that a
man out in the cold feels when he
looks In at company gathered about
. genial fire.
Holton's emotions were those OF a
pariah. He was an outcast. and more
than that an outcast who would speed
fly feel a hempen rope about his neck
II he were not extremely careful.
Somehow the thought that he was a
spy 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
guarded by n matched lodge. Upon
the walls OF the gate were emblazoned
the Spanish coat-ofarms. II was
thrown back, and a soldier stood in
the opening.
who comes there?" he asked
bringing his gun across his chest.
"Cardenas." cried Holton. giving the
countersign as he had heard IT several
times that night.
He walked forward.
81 have a message from General To
raj for Senior La Tossa Does he live
here?" he added.
The sentinel threw his gun into the
hollow OF his arm.
mo" he replied. You must wall
up this road two miles. 1t is the frs
estate on your left"
Holton politely thanked the soldier
and proceeded on his way. His shoes
were caked with mud and his clothinl
dragged heavily. And he was botf
tired and sleepy. He moved as though
In dream. He was really not NOR,
than half awake.
And yet he was not aware OF tn,
passage OF a great amount OF tim,
when he passed in front of anothe
thatched lodge. with the dark outlines
OF a large house. lying back on the tol

eyes her first question.
What are you doing here?" Then
she stopped and looked at him. DO

She reached up hastily and extin-
guished the lamp she had lighted

young officer stood silently regarding

peered out of the window. Il can see

Holton looked for himself. and saw
the front OF the house lined with
mounted men. He faced her irreso-
lutely.
But I must get away at once" he
demonstrated. Il cannot stay here"
Then why did you come here? How
did you get in7'
Il wanted to see YOU" replied Hol-
ton. The door was open, and | walked

MILESTONE AROUND A TREE
Seed Sown In the Center In Course of
Time Lifted Up Com
Portable Seat.

Sometimes nature turns to an unex-
pected use the handiwork of man."
says DR. Charles G. Percival In his
new book. THE Trail of the Bulldog"
At Sheldon's Mill. near South Devoro.
N. Y. there is a very comfortable seat
of stone around a huge tree which puz-
zles visitors. as the stone is natural
without single break to show how
1t got around the tree trunk.
The story is that discarded mill
stone lay on the ground for many
years. and seed blown by the wind
dropped into the core of the stone and
grew there, finally growing into a
tree, filling the hole In the center OF

pairing TO spend some further time In
their present quarters.
Holton having put on his shoes. was
on the point of stealing into the hall
and out by the door when he decided
that this. exposing him as it would to
detection. was not the wise cour Z. So
he turned back into the room, purpos-
ing to open a window.
AS his hand touched the catch he
WAS startled by sudden blaze Of light
and a voice.
We'll. sir, what are you doing
here?"
He turned to confront the young
woman he loved.

A judge was recently at a private
dinner defending harsh sentence. Il
believe" he said. that il is better for
law and order that sentences should
err on the side OF harshness rather
than on the side of lenity.
Look at nature, the great judge of
us all. Was there ever a harsher. Sc
verer judge. than nature. who SEN
fences each and every one of us to
hard labor for life?"

CHAPTER XII.
A Close Call.

Holton's first instinct was to utter
the girls name; but flashing second
thought came to his rescue, and he
broke into a volley OF Spanish ejacu-
lations. AS he went on she stood re-
garding him fixedly, and finally, seeing
a peculiar expression settle upon her
wonderful face. he paused.
Mr.. Holtoni" Her voice was low.
almost cultural
Holton sprang toward her
Miss La Tossa-Raneei" His voice,
too. was low. quivering with emotion.
She stepped back. and, pointing her

His Firm.

The drummer was Boosting about
the immensely of the firm he was
travelling for.
Il suppose your house is a pretty
big establishment" said the Gus
toner
Big? You can't have any idea of
its dimensions. Last week we took
an inventory of the employees and
found out for the first time that three
cashiers and four bookkeepers were
missing. That will give you some
idea of the magnitude of our bust
ness" .49

Watch Carefully
the ChiId'S Diet
Starr Them of Right With a Good
Lds0ffpe and Then Watch
Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children. forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give it indigestion, and
urge it to take more of what is quick
ly digested.
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation 1t should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow
els. BY this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply a small dose of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which. in the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness.
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need it,
and all can use it. Thousands endorse
it, among them Mrs. NJ. z. Patten,
Valley Junction, Iowa, who is never
without it in the house. Mrs. Patten
