twice; then a palm closed over her
mouth and she began to struggle like
a cat.
Evangelina, who had walked at the
first outcry, met the marauders as
they rushed through the door. There
lowed orders, a great scuffiing and
pounding of feet upon the dirt floor
of the hut, the rickety, bark-covered
walls bulged and creaked. Over all
sounded the shrieks of the negress
battling In the pitch-black interior
one set fire to the thatch; the flames
licked up the dead palm leaves to
the ridgepole, and the surroundings
leaped into view.
Rosa saw a swarthy, thickset man

for moment, she cried Cueto's
name, but he gave no heed. Rosa
shrieked his name again; then she
heard the officer say:
"Where is the young fellow? l

common wench."
Evangelina's cries of rage and de-
fance ceased and with them the
sounds of combat From the blazing

sparks from their clothing. A third
followed, dragging Evangelina by one
naked arm.
Rosa felt herself swooning, and she
knew nothing of what Immediately

"Come, come!' he was saying.

to his room he saw that the lamp In
the hallway fiared and smoked at ev-
cry gust of wind. 1t was very dark
outside; he reasoned that the streets
would be deserted. Hastily securing
that book which Alvarado, the dentist,
had given him, he took position close
inside his door. When he heard the
spy pass and enter the next chamber
he stole out into the hall and breathed
into the lamp chimney. A moment
later he was safely through the win
dow and was working his way down
the shed roof, praying that his move
ments had not been seen and that the
tiles were firm. He nimbly scaled the
wall, crossed an Enclosure, climbed a
second wall, and descended into a dark
side street. Taking advantage of the
densest shadows and the numerous
overhanging balconies, he set out at a
brisk trot.
A light showed through the barred
windows of the Alvarado home, indi-
eating that the family was in. After
some fumbling O'Reilly laid hold of
the latch; then, without knocking, he
opened the front door and stepped in.
His sudden appearance threw the
occupants into alarm: woman cried
out sharply; man whom O'Reilly
identified as Ignacio Alvarado himself
leaped to his feet and faced him, ex-
claiming:
"Who are your"
'Tm a friend. Don't be alarmed"
Johnnie summoned his most agreeable
smile, then he extended the sodden
package he had carried beneath his
arm. II come from your brother
Tomas. He asked me to hand you
this book and to say that he is return
ing it with his thanks"
"What are you saying?" Plainly the
speaker did not comprehend; there
was nothing but apprehension in his
voice.
O'Reilly tore the wet paper from the
volume and laid it in Alvarado's hand.
Look at it, please, and you'll under
stand. I didn't take time to knock, for
fear | might be followed"
Alvarado stared first at the book,
then at his caller. After moment he
made sign to his wife, who left the
room. Wetting his lips, he inquired
with an effort, what do you want?"
O'Reilly told him in a few words
Alvarado showed relief; he even
smiled 81 see, but-Caramba You
gave me a start. And this book Ha !!
Tomas will have his jokes. It is well
you took precautions, for / am under
surveillance. I'll help you, yes But
you must not come here again. Return
to your hotel and Let me think"
Senior Alvarado frowned in deepest
thought then he said: 81 have it Ev-
cry morning at half past nine a man
wearing a Panama hat and gray
necktie with a large gold pin will pass
along the sidewalk across the street
from the Isla de Cuba. You will
know him. One day, I cannot promise
how soon, he will lift his hat thus, and
wipe his face. You understand? Good.
Follow him. He will give you final di-
rections. You know Manin, the drug
gist? Well, you can talk to him, and
he will keep you posted as to our prog
ress. Now go before someone comes"
O'Reilly wrung the Cuban's hand.
Then he stepped out into the night
leaving pool of water on the clean
blue tiles where he had stood.

Chamberlain's Collie Diarrhoea Rem-

Des Moines, Iowa. He told me in
detail of what it had done for his fam
lily, but more especially his daughter
who was lying at the point of death
with a violent attack of dysentery,
and had been given up by the family
physician. Some of his neighbors adj
vised him to give Chamberlain's Collie
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which he did,
and fully believes that by doing so
saved the life of his child. He stated
that he had also used this remedy
himself with equally gratifying re-

BREAD MAY
JUMP CENT
IN TACOMA

An increase of one cent pound
in the price of bread in Tacoma
was believed to be near Monday
when word was received that the
advance already has gone into eff
feet in Seattle, where consumers
are paying IL cents.
Tacoma bakers have had the
question of an increase in price
up before the state food admins
tration for some time, complain
ing that because of the high price
of substitutes and the cost of labor
they would be forced out of bust
ness unless relief is granted.
A United Press dispatch from
Seattle states that the increase
there was made with the approval
of the food administration.
1t would be impossible for the
bakers to raise prices without this
approval.
Seattle retailers are paying nine
cents for one pound loaf which
they are selling at IL cents.
H. s. Griggs, Tacoma food ad-
'ministrator, could not be reached
Monday Secretary Mcpherson of
the Retail Grocers' association,
however, predicted that IL or IL
cent bread would come in Tacoma
soon.
At all Tacoma grocery stores
bread was selling at the regular
price Monday.

Discussing the German thrust

us what wonderful chance the
Germans had, and an article which
tells us how they missed it de-

Cough gave them. The Sphere
writes:
"The result of the German drive
against the British front was the
retreat of the Ord and 9Th British
armies to the line of Arras-
