back upon the elder man, he walked
away.
Now it did not occur to Cueto really
to doubt the boys innocence, though
the circumstances of Donna Isabel's
death were suspicious enough to raise
q question in any mind; but in view
of Esteban's threat he thought it wise
to protect himself by setting a back
fire.
AS he sat On an old stone bench,

fell upon an envelope at his feet. 1t

to idly broke it open and began to
read. Before he had gone far he start
ed; then he cast furtive glance
about. But the place was secluded he
was unobserved. When he finished
reading he rose, smiling. He no longer
feared Esteban. On the contrary, he
rather pitied the young fool; for here
between his fingers was that which

his hands the entire Varona estates.
One afternoon, perhaps week later,
Don Mario de Castano came putting
and blowing up to the quinta, demand
ing to see Rosa without a moments
delay, With a directness unusual even
in him, Don Mario began:
"R0sa, my dear, you and Esteban
have been discovered! I was at lunch
with the cOmmandante when | learned
the truth. Through friendship I pre-
vailed upon him to give you al hours

'What do you mean, Don Mario?"

"Come, conner" the planter cried, i'm

"What?" Esteban drew back. Rosa

TIE KAISEK TO BECOME A
DAIRYMAN IN RUSK
COUNTY

BY means of their unexcelled spy
system, the Kaiser and his staff have
discovered the wonderful opportuni-
ties awaiting the dairyman and the
stock-raiser in North Central Wis
consin. The summary of the spies
Investigations shows that the fertility
of the gently rolling hardwood ridges,
with their clay loan soil, fortified for
centuries by falling leaves of the for
est, in Rusk and western Price coun-
ties, makes place without compare,
for the sheep raiser and the dairyman.
Fearing that they cannot rule the
world, the Kaiser and his staff have
chosen wisely in selecting this vicin-
ity to settle and become sheep raiserS
and dairymen when they are finally
forced to admit defeat.
SO you true Americans better get
your land in this clover belt, the best
unoccupied land in the world, before
the Kaiser and his staff gobble it all.
