Four-Footed Poultry.

A certain old man in the Wynchope
settlement, named Buckley, was ex-
ceedingly fond of big words" He
was riding his horse over the country
one bright spring day, apparently in.
tent On some impor ant business.
Whenever he mel pnybody, he grave.
ly asked: Have you seen anything of
any stray poultry today? I've lost
mine, and am hunting it." When they
told him NO." he would proceed on
his way.
After spending several hours in
what seemed to be a vain search, he
at last rode to the door of a farm
house and called: "Hello!" A lady
came to the door, and doffing his hat
very politely, the old man inquired if
she had noticed and stray poultry
'round?'
After moments thought the wom-
an told him she had seen no chickens.
Oh he replied "its my hogs that
I've lost-not my chickens" outh's

mind about holding out.
AS Holton could see no special rea.
SON why the Spaniard should have
changed his mind, he was inclined to
regard the truce business as q joke, a
sentiment which most of the officers
shared with him. Toward noon he
made his way along the lines, and.
eventually, he located the Cuban con-
tingent.
Garcia was seated In front of his
tent with General Castillo. He remem-

antly. Yet he appeared to have some
thing on his mind, and after welcom-
ing the navy man he turned to his
brother general and continued a con-
versation which the officers arrival
had evidently interrupted. Holton,
not wishing to appear as an intruder,
moved to one side.
The soldiers were sullen and regard
ed the newcomer with evident dislike.
He tried to engage several Of them in
conversation, but with no success.
To a sergeant, who had turned his

vessels, which, having left the har-

little while before, were now merely

We'll, it was over What would
happen now? The harbor forts were
still to be subdued, and it was out of
the question that Sampson would at
tempt to rush them this day. No, Hol-
ton could see that the army still had
its part to play, and that, as conse-
quence, his work was far from COM

His duty was perfectly clear; and
while he was able to drag one foot

feet were not adapted to rapid prog

In short, he felt that, as compared
to his normal condition, he was but
half a man, and a very miserable and
pitiful half at that. Still, with fire.

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis

The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago I was o great COT

for coffee was intense, so I went back
to the old habit as soon as got home

a Nluht Rendezvous.


Before Holton could make answer,
young Cuban galloped by On horse
back. So 1.-THE was he, SO clean
limbed, his uniform so spick and span,
his face SO handsome, that HoltoD
turned % glance after him. He, too,
was turning to gaze at Holton, and
now brought his horse to a sharp halt.
Noting this, the navy man walked
toward the fellow, feeling that he had
seen him somewhere before but pug
zled to know where
The young soldier, with head turned
over shoulder, nodded to Holton, and
then, with sweep of the hand, beck
oned him toward a group OF small
palms, whittier he urged his horse
at slow walk. The naval officer fol-
lowed and came to a standstill beside
the beautiful animal.
The boyle was little more-bent
down and looked at Holton moment.
Then he smiled and held out his hand.
'You have been pointed out to me
as Lieutenant Holton," he said. Are
you he?"
Holton looked at the other steadily
without answering. A thrill passed
over him.
Il could almost say" he replied
finally, that you are Miss La Tossa
in disguise"
you would be pretty nearly right
was the laughing response; Il am her
brother"
Obi" Holton reached up and seized
the lads hand. Il am very happy to
see you. Where is your sister?"
AT home. ! stole in to visit her
last night. She wished me to find you
and to ask you to accompany me to
a place beyond Sevilla at once. She
will await us on the road and will
have something of Importance to say
TO you. l do not know what 1t Is"
But" Holton hesitated. Il have
just come in from Santiago at some
peril. l have work to do here"
The boy smiled at him.
There will be no peril in return
ing with me. We Cubans." he gri-
maced, have a secret route into the
city which has always been kept open.
1t is open now. You must come with
mo; my sister has news Of great i'm
portance you must hear"
Holton needed no great incentive
to accompany the other. He still wore
his Spaniard's uniform, with the ad
dition OF an army hat bearing the
insignia of the Fifth Corps, and he
felt himself sartorially well qualified
once more to penetrate the ranks Of
the enemy, if that were necessary.
With the young Cuban for a guide,
he felt that danger was reduced to a
minimum.
Il have pony you may ride" con-
tinued the boy, mistaking Holtons
silence for hesitation.
oh I'll go, even If I walk" returned
Holton, but l certainly shall appre-
ciate the horse"
Sunset was the hour and the Cuban
camp the rendezvous agreed upon
by the two, and after shaking hands
with the young man. Holton returned
to his own lines ard made his way
to Skaters headquarters. The com
