CHAPTER Xiii.


 @%HE fancy writers on the local
 papers, good as they were, re-
 ceived some new tips from the
 effervescent Paul Pollet. With the weird imagination of Poe, the joyous spirit of a Stockton, the poetic instincts of a Stevenson, the lurid ia cilfty of a circus poster writer and t4e assistance of B1ackie Daw, he buf1ded beneath the bounding pillows spa ciously splendid world of wonders, a marvellous mansion of languorous lux ury, peerless palace of gorgeous grandeur perspectived with a pane ramic pageantry of palms and permeat- ed, in short, with passionate parox- ysm of alluring alliteration
 During one whole night Paul and Blackie sat snickering and chueking over this marvel of description, which could have been illustrated only with fireworks, but the astute WaIIingford added a few lines that were not at all alliterative, but carried a business sunger of some value. He minated that, since the bath company would use its highly valuable and recently acquired property only for an ornate entrance to the wonderful underwater palace, a subsidiary company might possibly be formed to erect a mann moth hotel in connection.
 Thomas J. Nay1er, heading a commit tee of three, called on WalIingford within one hour after the publication of that literary masterpiece and was most cordial. -tOurefriendly little syn dicate had contemplated building a small but exclusive hotel on that site, and do not see why we should not plan to do SO" he said.
 t'That is, if we can come to satis- factory terms,'' smiled Wallingford. E'How large company do you propose to form?''
 Half million dollars, fully paid in," replied MT. Nayler with quiet and entirely unasxumed noncbalance
 Wallingford nodded with equal non chalance. ssYeu may have to increase your capitalization before you are through he suggested, but, for that matter, the Neptune Sun Bath compa- ny will probably have to do likewise It, however, owns its own ground. which is unencumbered, and can offer you ninety-nine year lease"
 s'On what terms? ?" inquired Ndr. Nay Ter, smiling encoura gingly at the thin nosed man on his left and at the angu- lar jawed man on his right

The whitening Wind.

The name of harmattan has been
given periodical wind which blows
from the interior of Africa toward
the Atlantic during the three
months of December, January and
February. 1t sets in with fog or
dry haze, which sometimes conceals
the sun for whole weeks together.
Every plant. every bit of grass and
leaf in its course is withered as
though it had been scared by heat
from a furnace. Often within an
hour after it begins to blow green
grass is dry enough to burn like
paper. Even the hardened natives
lose all of the skin on exposed parts
during the prevalence of this with
ering wind.

Guy Preston saved his men at the
fight at Wounded Knee by thinking
of the sentiment of the old proverb.
He was holding his men in the
line before the Indians fired. Every
one was looking for trouble Of some
kind, but it was the unexpected
that happened.
The Indians were lowering about
with their blankets around them
when the signal was given by one
of them, and in an instant every
buck threw away his blanket and

without counting the surprise. And
the soldiers ran. 1t was only for
a short distance in any case, and
they wanted some sort of cover.
But Preston, looking back over
his shoulder to see if the Indians
we're following or for whatever pur-
pose one looks back at dangerous
Zoe, saw a strap on his shoulder
and experienced a shock.
1t occurred to him at the instant
that he was running away with the
insignia of rank which his govern
ment had conferred upon him, that
he was in a way the representative
of great nation and that he ought
not to run. He stopped. OF course
there was no well defined object in
his stopping, but when the rest of
the men saw him standing there
without cover and returning the fire
of the Indians they turned back,
and in five minutes it was all over
and the Indians were beaten.
1t could have been nothing short
of a slaughter had Preston gone
with the rest, for there was no Gov
er until the top of the hill was
reached, and that was SO distant
that the Indians would have had an
easy time picking off officers, their
favorite pastime. Preston's idea OF
duty was what saved the day
