A Grim announcement.

Spanish officer with little cockade in
his felt hat, jerked Holton to his feet,
cut the lashings about his ankles and
hurried him toward the trail.
Finally, as hints of dawn appeared
overhead, the party arrived at small
clearing where were plcketed some
score of horses, with their riders, evil

There was a short conference, and

mouth and he was lifted upon a pony
The cavalcade took up the trail which
ran alongside the mountain, below the
camp of Garcia, in the direction of
Santiago.
AS the sun rose. halt was called in
little valley, and preparations were
made for what Holton believed would
be stay of considerable duration.
II was then that for the first time
word was spoken directly to Holton.

You see," the spy added, my role
as one of the leaders of the Cuban
Junta, coupled with my supposed be-
lief in the absolute integrity and disin-
terestedness of the United States as
regards Cuba, sometimes lead me into
danger. Garcia, who is my friend, be-
lieves in me, but Castillo, have rea-
son to think, is suspicious. Garcia
meets Castillo tomorrow, and So" he
shrugged his shoulders and lifted his
hands.
"All right" grunted the American;
Jump into the boat"
Before the spy obeyed, he turned
for a moment and repeated his whis-
tie. Then, In a very mild voice, he
said:
ut is time, senior, for your salad
with dressing"
Holton, knowing the words were ad-
dressed to him, was on the point of
scrambling to his feet when power

throttling him, while, at the same
time, his hands and feet we're seized

lay there helplessly, regarding the four
figures who stood over him.
What is it?" he heard the officer
say.

tive soldier from Garcia's camp. They
bother me so-you have no idea"
WELL" was the laughing reply, you
certainly seem to know how to deal
with them. Now, come on, if you are
coming"
Thank you; yes"
He delivered a volley of commands
in Spanish, speaking so rapidly that
Holton could not understand word
The men replied in kind, and then the
officer and the spy stepped into the
boat and were rowed offshore.

will send them away in good season
after their work is done. II not, then
so be it."
For moment there was silence.
Then Garcia spoke again.
You have nothing to fear. 1t is my
thought that unless our American
friends make a speedy ending of this
campaign they will be routed by dis
ease, and if they do not fly they will
die, surely and certainly. And thus

Admiral Sampson vouched for him.
But at any rate, suppose he is an
American? He might be that and still

General Garcia arose decisively.

Skin Health Comes
From the Blood
Even Slight Eruptions Such As
Acne Should Be Treated.

Pimples and other skin troubles do not
alight on the face like flies. They come
bubbling out from within. They are impur-
tiles. And If let alone or creased with
salves they become chronic, simply because
the cause Is still at work within. It should
be attacked with 8. s. S. and the impurities
in the blood thus rendered harmless.
The skin Is but q net work of fine blood
vessels. And it is a perfectly natural con-
sequence that any influence in the blood
that is a condition Of i'll health makes it's
first appearance in the skin. There are
certain medicinal properties that follow the
of these properties is that of an antidote.
This is why S. 8. s., the best-known blood
purifier, has such a positive action in the
skin. There is one Ingredient in s.. 8. 8.
which peculiarly stimulates cellular or
glandular activity to select from the blood
or from this fine net work of blood vessels
in the skin, those elements which it re-
qufres for regeneration.
Thus pimples, acne, eczema, lupus, or any
other blood condition that attacks the skin
or seeks an outlet through the skin is met
with the antidotal effect of s. s.. 8.
This is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return.
Under the influence Of s. s. 8. this fine
net work of blood vessels in the skin is
constantly taking from the blood the nutri-
cause of disease is just as constantly being
removed, scattered and rendered harmless.
These facts are more fully explained in q
book on skin troubles sent by The Swift
Specific Co., 531 Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ca.

The federal reserve board will have

The board will be presented with
protests from Baltimore, New Orleans

pressing dissatisfaction with the re-

cities chosen for federal reserve
