SHE SAW DANGER IN DELAY
owing to circumstances, Fair Maid
Was Willing to Make Momentous
Decision at Once.

'Hary," she began. in asweet, tim
orous voice, whats all this talk abou,
gold and silver?"
Henry, who reads the papers, and
was about rs thoroughly ignorant on
the subject rs everybody else, plunged
in brnvely, but she stopped him.
II don't want to know about that
she faltercd, "but is gold getting SO
awful scarcc?"
awful scarce!" echoed Henry, dis.
mally.
And Is it all being taken away to
pay for the WARP"
'It is," said Henry.
"And IL they continued to take It
away, there won't be any left In this
country by and by and we'll have to

over paralyzcd momentarily by sur
prise and horror; his eyes troubled: he
swayed as If his sight had blurred.
i said I'd never marry YOU" she
rushed on, vibrantly. "This is the man
lovc--thc only man. Yes, and I've
learned the truth about you. I know
who killed Mr.. Austin"
Longorio did very unexpected
thing then; slowly, unconsciously, as If
the movement were the result Of half
forgotten training, he crossed himself.
But now from tho hall at his back
came the pounding Of boot-hcels, and n
half-dozen painting troopers tumbled
through the door. He waved them back
and out into the hall again.
Father OMalley, who had been try-
ing to make himself heard, stepped in
front of the general and said, solemn.
ly: "Take care what you do, Longorio.
I have married these people, and YOU
can't undo what I have done. We are
American citizens. The laws OF civil.
zation protect u.s."
The Mexican fought for his voice
then stammered: "You are my priest
brought you here. I offered to marry
her. Now--you force me to damn my
SOUL" Turning his eyes wildly upor
Alaire, he shouted: "Too late, eh.
You say am too late! It seems that
am barely in time"

"NOr J." echoed Dave.
"YOu don't need to understand.
know what I'm doing. I've thought Of
way to save us ALL"
An inc0hcrcnt refusal was upon his
!ips but Alairc'S face bcSought him; 1T
was shining with a strange, new ecS-
taSy, and he could not bring himself to
deny her. or what her plan consisted
he had only the dimmcst idea, but he
assured himself that it could by no
possibility succeed. After all, what did
1t matter? he asked himself. They were
trapped. This might serve, somehow,
so cheat Longorio, nnd-Alaire would
be his wife.
"Very WELL" he stammercd. weakly.
"What are you thinking of"
II haven't thought 1t all out yet,
but"
at that moment Dolores returned,
bringing with her the three black
haired, black -Shnwlcd house servants,
bundling them through the door and
ranging them along the wall.
Father O'NInllcy's face was puck
cred; he said, hcsitatingly: "NIy dear
madam. this isn't regular; YOU are not
Catholics. How can bless y0u?"
"iOu can marry us legally. just the
same, can't you?' Aluirc was breath
Ing rapidly, and some part of her eager
ness began to thrill her hearers.
"Oh yes, but"
"Thcn marry us And make haste
please! Please"
Law nodded. He could not speak,
Sor his mouth was dry. His heart was
beating violently; his temples were
pounding; all the blood Of his body
seemed ccntcrcd in his head
Before the eyes Of the four wonder
ing women Father O'Malcy married
them. 1t seemed to Alaire that he.
would never reach the end, although. in
fact. he stumbled through the ccre-

words short by crying

The Man of DESTINY.

Nov, then. III explain" said Alaire,
turning to the men. "Longorio declares
he won't have me except as his wife,
and think he means it. hc is amnz-
ingly egotistical. He has tremendous
ambitions. He thinks this war is his
great opportunity, and he means to be

me, but he loves himself better. I'm

nation. He was about to make known
what was in his mind when Alaire
raised her hand and in strained
whisper exclaimed:
Sh-h! Lstcn!"
The heavy door of the hacienda
crcaked, quick tread sounded on the
tiles, the door to the living room was
flung open, and LongOriO entered. He
was hot and dusty from his ride, but
with a lovers impctuoSity he had made
straight for this lighted room.
For the briefcst instant he balanced
himself just inside the portal, and the
smile remained liked upon his lips.
Then his eyes became ringed with
white and he made swift, catlike
movement of retreat. Plainly this was
the suprcmeSt surprise Of his lifetime
and he seemed to doubt his senses. But
he recovered quickly. Thrusting his
head forward he demnnded
"What is this? You-and you?" He
stared from Dave to the priest, then
back again.
| They all spoke at once, but he heard
only Aaire'S words:
"llc came to find me-"
PanchO appeared In the doorway be-
hind Longorio, saying, 81 heard you
ride up, sir, so l ran to tell you about
This fellow"
But the general cut him short. "Call
your men. quick" he cried in voice
that sent the soldier lcaping back into
the night.
Alairc was clinging TO Dave, merely
clutching him the tighter when he tried
TO unclasp her hold. Her movement
into the shelter Of his rivals arms in
! furiatcd LongOrio, who uttered an cX-
clanntiOn and fumbled uncertainty
with his holster. But his fingers were
clumsy. He could not take his eyes
from the pair, and he seemed upon the
point Of rushing forward to tear them
apart.
Don't touch her! Don't" he be-
gam cursng in n high-pitchcd voice.
| God What a.rcckoning! Then he
stamped his feet, he wrung his hands,
he called shrilly at the top of his voice
"Llcutenant IIo, Pancho! You fell
lows! Quickly!" Under the stress Of
his excitement the feminine side of his
character betrayed itself.
Alaire felt her newly made husband
gather himself for spring; he was
muttcring to her to release him; he
was trying to push her aside, but she
held fast with the strength of despera
tion.
"Iou can't harm u.s." she declared

cient to rid ones feet Of every corn

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the mosb
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is Inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
