Deeply"
"Bastante! There is no more to be
said" Longorio rose and went into
the next room, where were certain
members of his staff. After time he
returned with a paper in his hand, and
this he laid before Alaire. It was an
order for the release of Juan Garcia
'The salvo conducto which will permit
Juan and his Inez and their Juanito to
return to their farm is being made
out" he explained. "Are you salts
fied?"
Alaire looked up wonderingIy. ST am
deeply grateful. You overwhelm me.
You area strange man."
"Dear lady, live to serve you. Your
wish is my law. How can l prove it
further?"
The strained, throbbing silence that
followed LongoriO's last words did
more to frighten the woman than had
his most ardent advances. He would
have fingered indefinitely over the
table, but Alaire soon rose to go, ex-
planning:
81 must finish my disagreeable task
now, so that can go home tomorrow"
Tomorrow" her host cried in dis
may. "No, no! You must wait"
"My husband is expecting me-
This statement was a blow; it
seemed to crush LOngorio, who could
only look his keen distress.
AS they stepped out into the street,
in the gutter stood Inez Garcia with
her baby in her arms, and beside her
the ragged figure of a young man,
evidently her Juan. The fellow was
emaciated, his face was gaunt and
worn and frightened, his feet were
bare even of sandals, the huge peaked
straw hat which he clutched over his
breast was tattered, and yet in his eye
there was light.
They had waited patiently, these
GarciaS, heedful of LOngOriO's orders,
and now they burst into a torrent of
thanks. They flung themselves to
their knees and kissed the edge of
Alaire's dress. General Longorio en-
joyed this sceZe tremendously, and his
beaming eyes expressed the hope that
Alaire was fully satisfied with the mo-
ment.
'They look very poor" said Alaire,
and opened her purse; but Longorio
would not permit her to give. Extract
ing large roll of paper money from
his own pocket, he tossed it, without
counting, to Juan, and then when the
OnloOkers applauded, he loudly called
to one of his officers, saying:
"Oiga Give these good friends of
mine two horses, and see that they are
well cared for. Now, JUAN" he ad-
dressed the dazed countryman, 'T have
one order for you: Every night of your
life you and your pretty wife must say
a prayer for the safety and happiness
of this beautiful lady who has induced
me to spare you. Do you prOmise?"
"We prOmise!" eagerly cried the
pair.
Good! See that you keep your
word. On the day that you forget for
the first time Luis Longorio will come
to see you. And then what!" He
scowled at them fiercely.
"We will not forget" the Garcias
chOruSed.
There was a murmur from the on
lockers; someone cried, "ViEa LOngo-

Dave lifted an abstracted gaze from

agreed; then his face lit with a slow
smile. 'By the way, don't tell Mrs.
Austin that I'm sort of college per-

"No. Mostly good sad romances

Dave laughed. Maybe! Who

term "medlan' might be interpreted
as follows: In writing the papers

that as many papers were marked

Proper Food for Weak Stomach

The proper food for one mar may

should adopt a diet suited to his age

is also important that they keep their

THE BOOKSELLERS AND THE
SUNDAY SCHOOL,.

ID 9TH the elder and the younger
ID J. D. Rockefeller are active
workers and supporters of the Sun
day school movement. Mr.. Rookie
Teller, senior, has been a lifelong
member CT the Euclid Avenue Rap-
fist church of Cleveland, where, fer
many years he was the active SUI
perintendent of the school and
where he still holds the position OF
honorary superintendent. Mrs.
Rockefeller, who recently died, was
likewise actively in charge of the
primary work and in her latter
years was honorary superintendent
of that department in the school
at Cleveland. Their children we're
brought up in that school, played
in the orchestra. taught classes and
otherwise Joined with their par
ents in supporting the work.
Mr.. Rockefeller, Junior, is the
teacher Of a celebrated mems class
connected with the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church of New York city, a
class of the utmost democracy. en-
Enthusiastically recommended by all
who attend it and are familiar with
its methods of work. No other two
men in American life are more
closely observed and criticized
than these and while no one will
say that all of their acts are
without fault. yet these who
know them the most intimately
have the least criticism to offer.
The well-known labor leader,
Mother Jones, has recently spoken
most highly Of the younger man
after her famous interview with
him in New York. No one has ever
accused either Of these men as be-
ing riotous. high livers or Of en-
gaging in the profigate vices of
the very rich. Neither is given to
sports, yachts, ace horses or ether
methods frequently used to display
and dispose Of great wealth.
OF late MI. Rockefeller, senior,
has not given the same attention to
the school as formerly, but he does
make it his habit to attend briefly
each Sunday and not infrequently
speaks a word of advice or encour-
agement to the school as a whole.
No one who knows either father or
son to any limited degree person
ally, would ever accuse either of
any Interior motive in this matter,
but will be convinced that each
sees in the Sunday school work an
opportunity to be of service to
their fellow men.
