mouth hanging open, drank in the
words as drowning man drinks in
his last breath of air. He could hard
ly credit his senses.
Here, after a night of aimless
stumbling through the blackness and
through the rain, he had CHANGED upon
the very place of all places where in
formation most valuable to his coun-
try's success was to be obtained.
The voices had fallen to hum and,
strain his ears as he would, he could
catch no more than fragmentary SEN
fences. Some one went out at the
door, and presently the sound of
horses hoofs was heard on the shell
driveway. Three men departed, and
then Holton heard the scraping Of
chairs and the rattle of glasses, as
though those that remained were pre-
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 tine wise course. 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 voice.
We'll. sir. what are you doing
here?"
He turned to confront the young
woman he loved.

Greater New York.

The population of Greater New York
is estimated by the health department
at 5,476,966 on January /, 1914. Ac-
cording to the same authority the pop
ulation or the boroughs is as follows:
Manhattan, 2,513,O60; the Bronx, 612,-
294; Brooklyn, 1,S8O713; Queens, S73,-
Ala; Richmond, 1855. Not yet. how
ever, has Greater New York saught up
with London. The British metropolis
still leads the big Yankeetown by
some 100000.

Holton's first instinct was to utter

IA peculiar expression settle upon her

CHAPTER x.-con,lnued.

Presently he came to street which
presented a vista of a long line of
street lamps. Evidently 1t led into
the heart of the city. Holton followed
1t past stores and houses, until at
length he stood in the patio before the
palace" Here there we're 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 a company gathered about
a genial fire.
Holton's emotions were those of a
pariah. He was an outcast, and more
than that an outcast who would speed

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 gate
guarded by a matched lodge. Upon
the walls of the gate were emblazoned
the Spanish coatof-arms. 1t 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 1t several
times that night.
He walked forward.
II 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.
NO" he replied. "You must walk
up this road two miles. 1t Is the first
estate on your left"
Holton politely thanked the soldier
and proceeded on his way. His shoes
were caked with mud and his clothing
dragged heavily. And he was both
tired and sleepy. He moved as though

than half awake.
