PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to
reduce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do; but they
did reduce the opportunities of
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed
In this country under the new
tariff prior to the outbreak of
the war Production had de-
creased, business was anguish
ing, new enterprises were not
undertaken, instead of expan-
sion there was curtailment, and
our streets were filled with the
unemployed. What ground Is
there for expecting better con-
ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus of the war has spent
its force and our industries and
working men are exposed to the
competition Of an energized Eu-
rope?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.
From Mr.. Hughes speech of
acceptance.

Annette laughed when she saw the
station-laughed more when she saw
the train. 1t consisted OF the sorriest
engine she had ever seen-also the
most diminutive and battered coach.

Hernandez chuckled to himself. "A
telegraph instrument" he said to him
self. Il thought so-that's the shack
we passed this morning. Now" he
commanded, come out here and clear
the track OF these obstructions-no,
you do it," he commanded the Brute.
The Brute ran from his position in the
car, leaped to the ground. and with q
twist or two of one hand tossed the
felled trees from the track.
Now" said Hernandez, 'run us
down to that shed. l don't know what
I'm going to do just yet. but I'll find
out there"
He whistled softly. A third figure
emerged from the forest, tripped
across the rails and entered the bag
gage car. This was Inez Castro. She
passed on into the passenger end of
the coach. She smiled gently at An
nette.
so, my charming friend" she said,
at last you have seen fit to intrust
your treasures to Senorita Inez Cas-
tro. Good, my little one.''
They reached the ancient shed. Over
its closed doorway was an old sign,
"Montrada."
Hernandez broke open the door by
means of his usual agency-the Brute.
Hernandez darted to the keys-he
was soldier OF fortune and this learn
ing was one Of his equipments. Bound
as she was in the car, Annette could
hear what the instrument said, for,
slngularly enough, Hernandez, when
he first called, used the Spanish
tongue; later he clicked in English
words. 1t was clear that Ponto was
at the other end of the wire, and some,
where near La Plaza.
What news, good Ponto?" he In
quired over the. keys. ANY danger OF
pursuit."
And Ponto answered: THAT" he
said, 81 cannot tell. But much activ-
ity. There is talk of war. There is
talk of a detachment coming over

Mrs. Hardin and Joe Welcher rushed
into the station. THE train-the

They were quite right. The engi
neer was already pulling his rusty lev
er. The train actually was starting

good luck"
Half mile farther down the track,
out OF the jungle crept two figures
each with gun in hand each with a
black mask upon his face. Across the
track they piled tree or two-these
trees had been plucked up by the roots
by one of these masked men.
After completing this self-appointed
task, they crept back into the jungle
and waited patiently.
FINALLY one of the men prodded the
other. Now" he commanded, here
she comes"
A faint tin horn whistle was heard
around the curve. The fast mail of
the Chantillo line approached. She
approached, but seeing the obstruc.
ton on the track, she hesitated, halted,
came to full stop. The two masked
men leaped upon the engine and held
up the crew with their ever-ready
guns.
Hernandez stepped into the car be-
hind. He fired three shots. He aimed
at no one. The shots had their eff.
fect-on two persons at least Joe
Welcher ducked at once. Mrs. Har-
din followed suit. No one was hit.
Annette alone retained her nerve.
So" she said fearlessly, its you
again. And where is your charming
friend, Miss Irene Courtier?"
Brute" cried Hernandez. throwing
off his mask, bring those two men
here"
The Brute brought them. Take the
bell cord" said Hernandez to the
train crew. and tie this young girl
up"
Hernandez, still with his gun on
guard, pent over the girl. He plunged
his hand into her breast, and with a
jerk tore the chamois bag from her
neck.
I'll tie this man myself" said Her
nandez, approaching Joe Welcher. He
leaned over Joe, and wound some cord
loosely about his hands.
I'll need YOU" he whispered. 'but
make no mistake. Mistakes are fatal
when I'm around"
He left the Brute on guard and
marched the crew back to the engine
How near are we to the nearest sta.
tion?" he queried. tell me truth"
Not for miles, senor," they gasped
only little farther on in a deserted
station, Montrada. No trains stop
there. 1t is discontinued.

haunted. senior"
"How-haunted?

to meet them. Seeing the Brute, he
drew back in terror.
1T is nothing, friend" said Herman
deg, here is a coin. Where lies La
Plaza?"
But five miles farther enclose by
Shore" returned the native.
"A bagatelle," said Hernandez,
come on"
Meantime Inez Castro, on board the
Albany, had become unusually active.
She had ascertained the time of arri-
val of the Albany at La Plaza-the
schedule time.
Joe Welcher bunked in with Neal
in the quarters of the warrant Off
GERS. 1t was nearly evening when
inez Castro, using Joe as usual to do
her bidding, whispered in his ear.
Joe, like whipped dog, did, through
fear of her, what he otherwise would
have been afraid to do He slipped
into Meals quarters, and laid his
hands upon an object or two, twisted
them into a little bundle and took
them back to Inez- Inez TOOK them TO
her cabin.

First and foremost, Miss Ilington,
said the captain of the Albany after
Annette's party had boarded the
cruiser, now that you are once more
safe, permit me to return to you the
map OF the Lost Isle, which have ex

directions, ! subjected it to heat, and

said Annette, secreting them in the
bosom of her dress.
So far, so good" went on the cap

ofhcers' quarters have been placed at
your disposal until we reach La Plaza.
There you can get a train.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Troop Train.

Ponto's information was quite cor
rect 1t had to be, or he could never
have qualified as the partner of Her
nandez.
On Meals return from the railroad
station at La Plaza he found an under
current of excitement present upon the
cruiser Albany. Half an hour after his
return the captain of the cruiser had
received wireless from Washington.
1t was significant in its tenor. The
wireless operator handed it to him as
it was received.
The captain glanced at it. 1T looks
important" he said; "decode it at
once"
1t was decided. This is what it
said:
| GENERAL ORDERS FROM NAVY

HUTCHINSON,
Chief of Staff.
An order from Washington is an
order An order when war is imminent
is double quick order. The captain
of the cruiser Albany had been wait
ing for double quick orders-he had
smelled them in the air. He had felt
them in his bones. In one hour he had
picked his men. The first man he
summoned was Neal.
Neal" he said, calling him by
name, I've recommended you for a
commission"
Neal jumped out of his shoes al
most. Ia commission" he gasped:

sharply; we've got to act"
He handed Neal typewriter instruc

When does she go?"
Not for two days or SO. The en-.

What can we do?" said Neal.
The station master frightened. He
desired at all costs to get this SQUAD

formed him. Yes, they must 20.
