Cobo fell into frowning meditation,
allowing his cigarette to smolder down
until 1t burned his thick fingers. He
was not a superstitious man and he
put no faith in the supernatural, new
ertheless he was convinced that his
sergeant was not lying. and reference
to PanchO Cueta had set his mind to
working along strange channels. He
had known Cueto we'll, and the latter's
stubborn belief ia the existence of that
Varona treasure had more than once
impressed him. He wondered now If
others shared that faith, or if by
chance they had discovered a clue to
the whereabouts Of the money and
were conducting a secret search. 1t
was a fantastic idea, nevertheless.
Cobo told hipself that if people were
prying about those deserted premises
1T was with Sonle object, and their ac-
tiOns would warrant observation. The
presence OF the wOmaf-a woman
with the glow of phosphorus upon her
face was puzzling, but the whole affair
was puzzling. He determined to inves-
tigate. After time he murmured, az
should like to see this spirit"
The sergeant shrugged. It was plain
from his expression that he could not
account for such desire. Another
might is coming" said he.
Good! 1 shall visit the place, and
If I see anything unusual well, ]
shall believe what you have told me.
Meanwhile, go see your priest by all
means. It will do you no HARM"

Interest in Plaids

Perhaps IT is through the influence
OF the Scotch kilties, who have ap-
peared at various times in our Ameri-

interest in plaids- Perhaps II is Just
because bright cOlors are in vogue as

How Cobo Stood on His Head.
All that day, or during most OF it, at
least, Rosa and O'Reilly sat hand in
hand, oblivious of hunger and fatigue,
Impatient for the coming of night,
keyed to the highest tension. Now they
would rejoice Historically, assuring
each other of their good fortune, again
they would grow sick with the fear Of
disappointment. Time after time they
stepped out of the hut and stared ap-
prehensively up the slopes of La Cum
bre to assure themselves that this was
not all a part Of some fantastic illu-
sion; over and over, in minutest de-
tail, Johnnie described what he had
seen at the bottom of the well. He
tried more than once during the after
loon to sleep, but he could not, for the
moment he closed his eyes he found
himself back there In that pit upon the
ridges crest, straining at those stub
born rocks and slippery timbers. This
inaction was maddening, his fatigue
rendered him feverish and irritable.
Jacket, too, felt the strain, and after
several fruitless attempts TO sleep he
rose and went out into the sunshine
where he fell to whetting his knife. He
finished putting double edge upon the
blade, fitted handle to 1t. and then &
cord with which to suspend it round
his neck. He showed 1t to O'ReiIly
and after receiving a word of praise he
lerept outdoors again and tried to for
get how sick he was. Black spots were
dancing before Jackets eyes; he ex

LEWIS MILLER
Writes From Camp
Shelby
EFEN DIS Y. NJ. G.. A.

Editor Mt. Vernon Signal
For some time | have been
noticing through your paper a
discussion as to the work of
the Y. M. G.. A., between Rev.
Jones, of Livingston, and our
ex-County Attorney, E. r.
Gentry.
In behalf of Mr.. Gentry and
the people of Rockcastle coun-
ty, | want to state that the Y.
NJ. C. A. does not permit card
playing and pool rooms in the
Army Y. NJ. C. AS. The rea-
son / make this statement is
that l am in the army and am
in the Y. M. c. A. nearly every
day. AS for cigarette smok-
ing-the boys do smoke Gig
arettes but that is something
they would do if they were out
of the army. The Y. M. G. A.
however, doesn't give cigar
cites away to the boys and try
to get them to smoke, they in
stead try to keep the boys
from smoking.
l don't know Rev. Jones.
who is using the columns of
your paper to discuss such a
question but at any rate | wish
to say to every reader of the
Signal that he certainly does
not know what he is talking
about when he talks about the
Y. M. C. A.
1t is the Y. M. C. A. that af-
fords a place for Church, Sum-
day School and Prayer Meet
ing. 1t is the Y. M. c. A. that
keeps stationery for we boys in
writing home to our mothers
and our friends. 1t is the Y.
NJ. c. A. that sells stamps to
the boys and has a nice writ
ing table for us to write on. In
fact we could not get along
without the Y. M. C. A. and if
Bro. Jones will donate about
$4,000 to the Y. M. G. A. and
then go visit the Y. M. C.. AS
at Louisville and at Camp Tay-
iNr, ] am sure he would change
his mind as to what the Y. NJ.
c. A. is doing.
If Bro. Jones was a Chap
lain in the army he would
then appreciate the Y. M. C.
A. for he could know just what
a nice place it is to preach his
sermons from, and think that
this discussion should be
brought to a close and that
Bro. Jones should do what Mr..
Gentry has done-sacrifice
leaving his home and his wife
and give his services to go take
charge of a Y. M. C. A. Bro.
Jones, however, could serve as
a Chaplain.
In closing wish to say that
if anybody does not believe
what l have said in this item,
that if they care to investigate
they will find it to be true.
Very truly,
