WENT TO MANY MADlsoNs
Misslve Travelled Far Over United
States Before It Finally Reached
Proper Destination.

A certain publishing house in Lon.
don, England, has discovered that there
is more than n Madison in the Unit
ed States of America. The discovery
cost a University Of Wisconsin pro-
fessor a large amount Of anxiety, for
1t involved a valuable manuscript on
which he had spent months of labor.
The manuscript is a translation Of
Lucretius' works prepared by Prof.
william Ellery Leonard Of the English
department and visiting professor this
year Of New York university, sent to
London for publication In the Every.
man Library. When the manuscript
vas sent back to him with the first
proof sheets, 1t was addressed "Madi-
son, U. s. A." How many Of, the 9TH
er Madisons 1t visited is not recorded,
but after weeks Of search the postal
authorities found 1t and returned It to
the anxious author.

Hernandez and his two companions
reached the tree. They reconnoitered.
Above him in the swaying branches,
all ignorant Of the group below, Neal
wigwagged his SIGNALS toward the AL.
bany. His heart leaped within him,
for the Albany wigwagged in return.
She was doing more-she was sending
off her fastest launch shoreward,
crowded to the gunwale with marines
marines who knew their business.
Below Hernandez smiled q diabolical
smile. He was watching, not Neal,
but the swaying Of the tree.
Look" he said to Ponto, "see how
these roots tug at this scant earthen
covering. She is a tree growing on a
rock. She totters. And she is more
than a tree growing on a rock-she
grows on the edge Of a cliff. Beast,

Within the walls Of Corazon del Sol
there lived a god. He didn't know he
1ived-he was quite ignorant of his
own existence. II he had ever lived
he would have died from ugliness.
But there were those who knew he
lived. They were the inhabitants Of
this ancient Aztec village-Corazon
del Sol, the Heart Of the Sun. They
knew he lived. because periodically
and quite persfstently he demanded
flesh.
Just now he stared straight before
him through the gates Of the crum.
bling walls. The high priest followed
his glance.
Suddenly the high priest started and
held high his hand. A group Of Aztec
warriors answered the summons. In
crude uneven order this crowd rushed
through the gates and stood at bay.
Across the clearing was another group

and with our prisoners.
It takes the trained eye of a native
to know q trail when he meets one
in the well-nigh impossible tungles Of
Dolores. The United States marines,
q little squad Of rs men, were begin
ming to realize this fact. For an hour
they followed blind trail after blind
trail, only to retrace their steps to q
given starting Point.
Never mind" said their officer.
They're up there and we'll get them,
and then"
He stopped. A shower Of dirt and
snail stones spattered OF his head.
The officer looked up. Above him
lowered a cIif, and half way to the
top of this cliff there ran a narrow
ledge-a mountain pass. The officer
ducked, for there was another shower
Of dirt and gravel. Then he caught
sight of a donkey's tail swishing out
over the precipice.
i've got the trail" he said, "and q
good trail 1t is, for 1t leads here-here
to our very feet"
He was quite right. Some three
quarters Of an hour later Inez and her
small party passed that very spot-a
spot now deserted.
Suddenly twenty-five American ma

Outside the fort there was camped .

were wounded; all seemed to be in

They had with them three Ameri-

sat sullenly upon the ground smoking

subject of considerable discussion, for

He reached the ~insurrectos' camp
and clutched his leaders arm.

Suddenly, however, Neal held up his
hands. Listen" he exclaimed. From
the unseen waters beyond there was
the boom Of a gun.

His squad halted. It was we'll they

Across the strip Of jungle they could
hear the boom-Eoom Of the gun.
Neal slapped his thigh with Joy.
"He's got the range already, boys" he
cried. wait. Look-look-look."
With q mighty shout of triumph the
marines leaped into the air yelling like
demons themselves. They had good
cause, for the gunner on the Albany
had more than found the range-he
had planted an exploding shell in the
very middle Of the sun god-and the
sun god and his temple, amid shrieks
from q hundred throats-burst into
a thousand pieces-and disappeared.

Hernandez pondered for q moment

Then he crossed the clearing and
faced the high priest. Ponto from his
