"Buenas noches. senor."
And Lawyer Dempton, his horses

through the moonlight night, and the
old man, leaving Pedro to close the
door after him. had gone back to his
chair and wine and cigarettes.
''Los Americanos," he muttered when
he was alone again, '.they are all alike.
You cannot trust them. That Demp-

dealing with the vitriolic description
of the character of Los Americanos."

little rose-twined balcony, and the

retreated to the door which gave pas
sageway through the three-foot adobe
walls from the drawing room to the
patio.
De la Guerra looked at him with
curious smile.
"You are incomprehensible, you
Americanos," he said softly. you will
insist on riding a dozen miles through
the dark when there is a warm bed
and bright candle light inviting you
to stay. Your business must be ur-
gent, Mr.. Dempton, to take you out
tonight-alone. Your ride is not with
out danger, and"
He put his hand again to the bell

"At least, If you insist, you must
allow me to send some Of my va
queros with you"
"No. nor cried Dempton, already at
the door. at is unnecessary, Mr.. de

"As you will" Senior don Antonio
spread out his white hands and lifted
his shoulders slightly. "But you must
remember that we are only half a mile
from the border, and that those ras-
cally Mexicans are a thieving, treach-
erous lot.

Again he spread out his hands and
lifted his shoulders.

ON THE MEXICAN BORDER

Action, always action, Is the
outstanding feature Of this stir
rinc romance by Jackson Greg
ory. "Dice Of Destiny" is a tale
of the Mexican border, about as
lively a spot as there is in the
world. The actors in the story
are interesting for themselves,
aside from their thrilling story
"a fine sio Spaniard living on
his ance stral estate this side of
the border; his vilIainous kins-
man, with his rascally accom-
pIiees; his entirely charming
granddaughter; his efficient
young American ne;ghbor, and
various Mexican bandits from
across the border. Love, dan
ger, fighting, a JUS retribution
and a happy endine--aIl the
elements of a thrilling tale are
here. And the tale is we'll told.

BISMARCK HAS
REAL SLEEPING
SICKNESSCASE
Attack Of Malady Suffered by
r. w. BoOton, Travelling Audi
tor, Said to BE Typical
HAS SLEPT FOR FOUR DAYS

Bismarck has typical case OF the
sleeping disease now more or less
prevalent in America. 1t has so been
diagnosed by four Bismarck physi-
c ans. and the malady seems to be TAX
ing the course common in all OF these
cases. The victim is r. w. BOoton,
321 Eighth street, a travelling auditor
for the Northern Pacific. He has been
asleep and practically unconscious
since last Saturday. The sleeping
sickness has been slowly coming on,
however, for more than month.
Mr. Booton is man Of 33, is mar
ried and has a family. About four
weeks ago an abscess appeared on one
eye. This was lanced and the opera
ton was followed by very severe
headache. Then a slow-creepng leth-
argy developed. Each day the SUI
ferer appeared to grow trifle duller,
his perceptions became a tribe less
keen, and he was more and more
prone to browse when opportunity or
fered.
A week ago today Mr. Booton walk
ed from his home to the Northern Pa.
cific station and back. When he
reached home again he sank onto his
bed exhausted, and from that moment
to this he has, except for an occasion.
oil moment of wakefulness, been lost
in dead sleep. He appears unable.to
recognize Mrs. Booton and other
members of the family. He, is in no
pain. He merely cannot resist an in
clination to sleep, ~
1.-THE case appears to be very typ
zeal of other cases of sleeping sick
ness as we have seen them described"
said the physician in attendance to-
day THE trend Of the disease seems
to be following the normal course OF
these cases."
