Studied by the New Premier
Of Country.

Madrid.-American ideas of govern
ment are to be followed to a certain
extent by Eduardo Dato, the new
Spanish premier. Without announc-
ing any fixed program. Senior Dato
said on taking Office, that he intended
to study the opinions of the people and
govern them more as America is gov
erned, according to the general wishes
and welfare.
The new premier, who is fifty-seven
years old, is one of the most widely
known lawyers in Spain. Since 1884
he has been deputy for the district
of Murias de Paredes and active in
the Conservative party. He was un-
der secretary of government in 1896,
and minister of the same department
In 1899 Later he was minister Of
justice and president of the chamber
of deputies.
Senior Dato drew the workingmen's s

the stopped-up, lifeless kidneys so
they can filter and sift all the poisons
from the blood, and drive it out Of
the system.
So sure, so positive, so quick and
lasting, are the results obtained from
the use of Croxone, that three doses a
day for few days are often all that
is required to end the worst backache,

No Ideas Necessary.

Once upon time there was a young
man who had urgent literary aspira.

him what to do about it.

Sage.
The young man followed this advice
He wrote diligently, and 10. his

How do you explain it," asked .

1T is very simple" replied the Sage.
"As the young man had no ideas.
there was nothing to distract him
from a strict attention to literary
style, which he developed to a point Of
pefection.

This bit of conversation fulfilled Ro-

self; and she knew from a life of ex-
perience that no man lives who can re-

he asked with heavy male coquetry.

However, she managed with sur
passing lightness the step from the

tonishing grace the ascent. She
threaded 1t to its top, viewing 1t all in
a general way. Then she stopped, ma

So she worked downward nearly one

brushed it away and discovered little
irregularity in the metal. She picked

the pin into the loop, and pulled. Some
thing gave way. Out of a very small
hollow in the iron step, which seemed
like bubble left in the process of
casting, came little hard ball. She
rubbed it with her hands, and polished
it with her handkerchief.
1t was a red shoe button.
Rosalie fingered it, and glanced up

There were three idols in the

white beard about two feet long. In

CHAPTER TX.
Moving the PaWns.


At breakfast next morning, Rosalie
opened her game-opened it like a
master of human chessmen, with a
trifiing move or two of the pawns.
Don't any Of you people be as
tonished," she said, "if your clothes
look strange and orderly when you get

cleaning closets. l announce now that
if l find anything isn't hung where 1t

more than clean. From Miss Hard

Miss Estrilla's on the top, she exam
ined minutely every garment and
every pair Of shoes. When she had
finished. when she stood in her own
room dressing for the street, she
looked very serious. Before she put
away her house-dress, she took from
ita pocket the red shoe button. She
Inspected 1t again, and locked it away
In the deepest compartment of her
jewel case.
Rosalie walked briskly to a book
store in the heart Of the foreign dis
trict, held short consultation with the
clerk. journeyed another block, and
stood at length before sign lettered
in many tongues. She hesitated and
began talking to herself.
"You can't teach an old dog new
tricks" she remarked.
"But sometimes you can brush up
the old tricks he used to know" she
added. It'll take time-well, any
way, I'm here!" and she entered.
When she emerged, it lacked but
half an hour for lunch time. At the
table, she made subtle inquiry about
the plans of her boarders for the day.
Mr.. North, already busy with his
agency, had not come home to lunch
at all. Betsy-Barbara had an engage

ed.
Forthwith, Rosalie moved a major
piece. She mounted the stairs toward
Miss Estrilla's room. She was behav-
ing strangely. Her eyes looked far
away. Her manner seemed remote to
the things of this world. AS she
knocked and entered, she passed her
hand over her eyes, gave little con-
vulsive jerk, dropped her hand to her
side, and shook herself.
Miss Estrilla lay back among the
cushions in half-light. She seemed to
catch the strange new manner of Ro-
sale.

down as though into deeper sleep. She
waited through space which seemed
