CHAPTER XIX.
False lmpersonation.

In the interior Of the chart room on
board the battleship Missouri. Neal
Hardin-ensign-w discussing with
his brother officers the possibilities of
the Allemanian war.
A senior officer was porting over
translated wireless messages. Against
the wall was modern Mercator's map
of the world.
Finally he rose. "A new coaling
station-that's the trick" he said,
"and we've got to see somebody in
authority at Los Angeles-unless they
meet us en- route. The state depart
ment's got to dicker for a coaling sta
ton
He adjusted his glasses and exam
ined the map. HIM he said, ALE
mania-here's Allemania" He pom
dered the map carefully-sizing up all
possibilities = measuring distances.
Finally he placed his finger tip upon
a spot in the Pacific ocean.
There he said, sis the spot-some-
where about there"
Whats the latitude queried an
other officer, getting out section of
another map. His senior told him.
And the longitude" he asked. His
senior told him that
'Eigteen degrees NORTH unused the
junior, and 1913 degrees west" He
pored over his sectional map. He
shook his head
But he protested, there's no land
there-there's no island to be seen"
Neal almost jumped out Of his skin.
There is an island there, uncharted
and unmapped," said Neal, but it's
there. It's the Isle of Cinnabar-we
call it the Lost Isle"
''Who calls it the Lost Isle?"
Neal told them Annette's story,
from start to finish.
The commander smiled. 1--WE get
our coaling stations by making trea-
ties" he said, I've never heard of
making treaty with girl, but l sup
pose it can be done. Well have to
wireless Washington about that And
I know pretty much what our orders
will be now-suppose you guess
Neal smiled Follow the girl" he
said.
So they followed Annette. But 9TH
ers had preceded her. Even while An
nette's journey was but half way
through something was happening at
the Santa Maria mission in Lower Cal
ifornia.
Brother Anselmo was seated at his
table, facing Hernandez and his party
Inez Castro leaned a well-rounded
arm upon the table and glanced inno-
Gently into the eyes of Brother An
selmo.
L am Annette Ilington,' she said.
The brother nodded. 81 am sending
for the papers, child" he said
SO you are his daughter" he said
at length-and there seemed a note of
disappointment in his voice -" the
daughter Of my old friend nington.
He was my young friend then. You
his daughter. And you say my old
friend Ilington is dead?"

! with the whip and the horse ambled
off toward town.
At his command the Brute carried
Annette across the desert, totally OBJ
livious to her struggles and outcries.
Ponto led the way, stopping from time
to time to make pleasant remarks to
Annette.
By this time they had reached the
small, damp, dank oasis with it's shad-
ing palms and it's little pool of water.
Ponto led the way into the very depths
of this inviting green shelter Then
he struck the Brute on the shoulder
Now set her down." he commanded
The Brute obeyed. Annette gasped
with surprise She was not bound
she was free, untrammeled.
What are you going to do with
me?" queried Annette.
Nothing, senorita," returned Ponto,
bowling low.
Annette, wary, fearful, looked be-
hind her as though she expected an
attack from the rear. But there was
no one to be seen. Beyond was the
desert-there seemed to be no hiding
places.
Ponto merely bowed again. "Seno-
rita" he said, with a leer, beauty
in distress-ah melt touches my
heart always. See. The mission lies
yonder-behind you. Your path lies
there You are free"
Annette turned. Keeping her glance
over her shoulder, to be ready for
treachery, she slowly proceeded on
her way.
Suddenly, without warning, she sank
into the pit.
Ponto laughed in g1ee "The stakes
they are like knives" he cried-they
are deadly-they are for jaguars-and
little wildcat heiresses-oh, yes
With a cry, Annette found herself
falling helplessly into the unknown
terror underneath.
''Help-help-help, she cried

Hidden Peril.

Look" said Hernandez, catching
Inez by the wrist, the party has ar
rived"
He handed his binoculars to Inez
Castro. She looked. They are just
landing she said, 'it is all up. They
will go to the father Of the mission
and will make their claim
What difference does the grant
make" she exclaimed, why take the
risk of getting it? Already that old
priest suspects something. What I
do not know. But he suspects. Why
not take the bit in our teeth and
make for Lost Island-get there at
once? Why not?"
Hernandez shook his head. I'VE

have evidence within our hands, she

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Barton Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They
will warn you when the kidneys are
weak Well kidneys excrete clear,
amber fluid. Disordered kidneys send
out thin, pale and foamy, or thick,
red, ill-smelling urine, full of sedi-
ment and irregular Of passage.
DANGER SIGN NAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy. or sharp and acute, suggest
weak kidneys and in that case warn
you of the danger of dropsy, gravel
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills are endorsed by thousands.
Here's Barton proof:
A. V. Cloutier, Lake street, Barton,
says: ct was annoyed by lumbago
and lameness in my back and could
hardly straighten after STOPPING.
The secretions from my kidneys were
irregular in passage and contained
sediment. Two boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills brought me relief and
have had no trouble since.'

ply ask for kidney remedy-get

KNOW PAINT

There's a paint-education in this

Buy by TIE job, not gallon. Buy by

The price Of paint is so much a
gallon; that can't be helped, but
amounts to nothing.
The price of painting is SO much
day; that can't be helped, but
amounts to nothing.
Put them together. How can you do
it? You've got to or lose perhaps
half of your money.
Devoe, 10 gallons enough for the
average job; an average paint, Is.
Now reckon your costs. Count labor
day for gallon. Devoe 10 days;
the other Is.
Devoe about $50; the average paint
about $40 Or $50; the dearer the labor
the bigger the difference, always that
way.
But that's for the job. How long
is it going to last? One twice as long
as the other.
