fore the army would move farther on
toward Santiago? That 1t would b

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. It was a sort of fare

coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit Of others.
my mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for q
number Of years and complained. Of
that weak all over feeling. and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making .
visit to distant part of the country
and took dinner with one Of the
merchants of the place. / noticed q
somewhat unusual favour of the 'cof-
fee and asked him concerning 1t. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with it that, after
the meal was over. bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family we're SO well pleased
with It that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition. but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time. she felt 80
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach: that the
headaches were not so frequent. and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was we'll and
hearty.
Il know Postum has benefited my.
self and the other members of the fam.
lily, but not in SO marked degree as
in the case Of my mother. as she was

Mammals Kiss.
This pretty child story is from tho
French:
A mother tells her little girl that be-
cause she has been naughty she will
not kiss her for week. Before two
days have gone by the child's lips
hunger SO for her mothers kiss that
she begs her not to punish her any
more.
The mother says: "No, my dear. I
told you that I should not kiss you.
and must keep my word"
"But, mamma, mamma" says the
little girl. would it be breaking your
word If you should kiss me Just once

CHAPTER ix.-contlnued.
Holtonis present idea was to wait
for the army to move, purposing to
follow their advance, and under cover
OF the battle to enter Santiago. But
~ day after day passed It seemed to
him as though the order to advance
would be given.
He went up to the Cuban camp sew
sral times, and on ono of these occa-
stons had long conference with Gar

Six days In all elapsed before any
Indication that the army was to move
came to the surface. On the sixth
day. June 80. however, orderly and
aides began galloping down the road
way and the word came that the ad-
vanos was to begin at four o'clock
that afternoon. Holton wondered If
the entire army was to move at once
or whsther each command was to
take mp tho march at an appointed
hour.
At four promptly his question was
answered when the entire force broke
camp and crowded into the narrow
jungle trail at practically the same
minute.
Holton followed along the trail with
IN infantry regiment. The army was
now marching into the wooded valley
which bordered the high grass lead
ing to and up San Juan hill, with the
smaller rise, Kettle Hill. on one side.
AZ the day waned the men who
knew that on the morrow would come
the supreme test, settled down for the
night with grim faces.
Midnight passed. Men stirred rest.
lessly in their blankets. And In the
rihe-pits that ribbed San Juan dark.

and presenting General Skaters com.

asked Sumner.

reply.
Holton strolled up to I'll Paso and
found the regulars and the Rough
Riders resting on their arms. Grimes

word to open fire.
