Wallace, struggling to his feet with q
great effort, made his way inside.
1t was almost dark in the hut, and
Wallace could only make out with diff
ficulty the form of man who lay, face
downward, upon the ground near the
wall. Presently, however, as his eyes
became more accustomed to the OBJ
security, he saw the bullet wound in
the back of the head.
He looked up at the child, who stood
by, unconcerned. $50 away, Eleanor"
he said gently.
The child, too young to know any
thing of death, went out of the hut
and began to play in the shaft of sum
light that filtered through the branches
of the palms. Wallace searched the
dead mans pockets. He found moth
ing, however, except military pass,
signed by General Linares of the
Spanish forces, authorizing the bearer
to pass through the lines; and, after
moments reflection, he decided to
leave it on the body.
So this man had been the child's IA
Their, and, apart from her speech, his
cOlOring showed that he had been an
American. Wallace concluded that he
had been q planter, trapped in Santi-
ago. He raised the body in his arms
and tried to turn it over, but let it
fall when he saw the work that the
bullet had made of the face. He must
not let the little girl carry away any
thing of such memory as that!
He CROPPED his way outside and
beckoned to her. ''What is your other
name, Eleanor?" he asked.
The little girl only looked at him ;
it was evident that she did not under
stand the meaning of his question.
did your daddy live in Santiago?"
my daddy has gone away. / want
him." said the child, beginning to
whimper.
Wallace tried her once more.
"Where is your mamma?" he asked.
But she said nothing, and he sat
down, .propping himself against the
shack. He drew the little girl down
| beside him.
''Now listen to me, Eleanor" he
said. "Your daddy has gone away.
He will be gone for long time. You
must be good and patient, and soon
somebody will come to take care of
| you. Do you understands"
The child's lip quivered, but she did
not cry. She liked her large gray eyes
! upon him.
"Who are you?" she asked, with the
directness of childhood.
My name is Mark
| Il like you, Mark. / will go with
| you till my daddy comes back
"All right. Then sit down here be-
side me and play" muttered Wallace,
wondering rather grimly what there
was for her to play with.
But the grubby little fingers were
soon busy in the sandy soil. Wallace
watched the child, wondering who she
was, and how it had happened that
, the father had been forced to take her

CHANGE IN father
Suffered Over Twenty Years and
Spent Thousands of Dollars
Trying to Get Well

"My father has suffered from chron
ic stomach trouble for over twenty
years and has paid out thousands Of
dollars on medicines and doctors,
said G. w. Slayton, a well-known Cobb
county farmer, who lives near Smyrna
short distance out of Atlanta.
eve tried nearly everything trying
to cure him, and he went off to the
springs, thinking maybe the water
would help him, but it just looked like
nothing would reach his trouble. Then
he tried dieting, and lived on liquid
food until he almost starved-but even
that failed to do any good, and he just
kept going from bad to worse.

as stubborn as his, and if there ever
was a confirmed dyspeptic he was one
of them, and l guess he would have
been one yet if it hadn't been for this

"The first we heard of this medicine
was when my father saw an adver-
tisement in the papers from parties
he knew in Tennessee, who were
friends of his, and he knew what they
said about it was the. truth-so he
got it right away and began taking it.

A Baseball PHILOSOPHER.

Sentiment plays most Of the strings
In this little musical instrument of q
world, says writer In an exchange.
l didn't see any of the worlds
series baseball games held In New
York and Chicago. But my heart was
quite a loud beating affair each day
In the bleachers. And it was beating
for the Chicago White Sox.
I'll tell you why.
The head. heart and owner of the
Chicago White Sox is Charlie Comis-
key. They call him "the old Roman"
One day an important game was on
and his great Chicago park was crowd
ed with something like a $4,000
crowd. Then old Pluvius got busy and
started dumping wetness In torrents
onto the park.
1t looked bad. So bad that one of
Comiskey's friends hunted him out,
and worried-like In excitement, ex-
claimed, "Comiskey, do you think it's
going to stopT
1T always has," replied "the old
Roman"
No wonder the White Sox won the
worlds series.

pfness Is as beautiful as the flowers
OF spring and the sky OF summer and
the vivid leaves Of autumn. And even
though 1t might not last, happiness is
too beautiful to pass by with never a
glance.
And then, as the philosopher said.
and as we know, don't be sure, as you
take your chance at happiness, that it
will not stay. Look around your circle
of friends, look at your business asso-
ciates. look at the casual crowds that
you pass every day and you'll see that
the average of happy faces is rather
high. You'll see more smiles, / think.

sad onesl
Don't be afraid to take chance at
happiness because you fear that it is
too beautiful to last. Take your
chance, instead, arguing that happiness
Is too beautiful not to last!

The homesteader too, may be little
