REMEMBERED HIS DEAD PET
Boy Who Kept Green the Memory Of
His Favorite Deserved to Have
Christmas Tree.

After he had spent many minutes
looking over the Christmas tree dis
play of a Kings Highway (Brooklyn)
store, a small boy approached the deal
er and timidly asked how much the
cheapest tree in the stock would cost,
says the New York Sun.
Fifty cents" replied the dealer, and
then noting the look Of disappointment
on the boys face, asked him if that
was too much.
Eyes, sir" responded the youth.
sim afraid it is. I've got only %
cents, which saved in my bank. You
see, it's for my dog. He died three
years ago and every Christmas | have
set a tree on his grave in the back
yard"
''Well, here's one you can have for
% cents" said the dealer. The boy,
with light of gratitude spreading
over his countenance, started away
on a run, shouting back that he was
going home to get his savings.
'Heyp yelled the dealer. "Come
back and get the tree. You needn't
mind about your pennies

to diminish, or else he was getting out
of hearing. The few people he saw
close at hand were ali coming his
way, and only the foremost showed
any excitement. Gale walked swiftly,
peering ahead for two figures Pres
emily he saw them-one tall, wearing
a cape; the other slight; mantled.
Gale drew a sharp breath of relief.
Thorne and Mercedes were not far
ahead.
He began to overhaul them; and
soon, when the last lamp had been
passed and the street was dark, he
ventured a whistle Thorne heard
it, for he turned, whistled low reply,
and went on. Not for some distance
beyond, where the street ended in
open country, die they halt to wait.
Then he came u with the fugitiyes.
"Dick Are you-aIl right" painted
Thorne, grasping Gale.
"Tm-out of breath-but-O. K.,'
replied Gale.
"Good! Good" choked Thorne. 81

it worked splendidly. We lad no
trouble. What on earth did you dog'

Dick. 'While / was rushing Rojas
couple of cowboys shot out the
lamplights. A Mexican who pulled a
knife on me got hurt, 1 guess. Then
I think there was some shooting from
the rebels after tie room was dark :"
Mercedes pressed close to him,
touched his hands, looked up into his
face with wonderful eyes. He thought
he would not soon forget their beauty
the shadow of pain that had been
the hope dawning so fugitively.
"Dear lady," said Gale with voice
not wholly steady, "Rojas himself
will hound you no more tonight, nor
for many nights.
She seemed to shake, to thrill, to
rise with the intelligence. She pressed
his hand close over her heavfng breast
Gale felt the quick throb of her heart.
"Senor! Senior Dick!" she cried,
Then her voice failed. But her
hands few up quick as a flash she
raised her face--kissed him. Then
she turned and with sob fell into
Thorne's arms.

The dark face vanished Dick Gale

was in time to sec a Mexican swag-

There were men passing in the street,
also several Mexicans loungfng
against the hitching rail at the curb.

go? whispered Thorne, as he Joined
Gale. "Those Greasers out there with

''T'm sure, Dick Let's cross the

Gale followed Thorne out of the res
taurant into the high-ceiled corridor
which evidently divided the hotel
opening into the street and running
back to a patio. A few dim, yellow
lamps fiickered. Thorne entered a
huge chamber which was even more
poorly lighted than the hall. It con-
tanned a table Uttered with papers. a
few high-backed chairs, a couple Of
couches, and was evidently a parlor

gun raised and aimed. On the instant
it spouted red anu white With the
crack. came the crashing of glass, an
other darkening shade over the room.
With cry Gale slung the bleeding
Roias from him. The bandit struck
a table, toppled over it, FELL, and lay
prone
Another shot made the room full of
moving shadows, with light only back
of the bar. A Whitehead figure rushed
at Gale. He tripped the man, but had
to kick hard to disengage himself
from grasping hands Another figure
closed in on Gale. This one was dark,
swift. A blade glinted-described a
circle aloft. simultaneously with a
close, red flash the knife wavered; the
man welding it stumbled backward
Then pandemonium broke loose. The
din became roar. Gale heard shots
that sounded like dull spats in the
distance. The big lamp behind the
bar seemingly split, then sputtered
and went out, leaving the room in
darkness.
Gale leaped toward the restaurant
door, which was outlined family by
the yellow light within. Right and
left he pushed the cropping men who
jostled with him. He vaulted a pool
table, sent tables and chairs flying,
and gained the door, to be the first
of wedgfng mob to squeeze through.
One sweep. of his arm knocked the res
taurant lamp from it's stand; and he
ran out, leaving darkness behind him.

gotten away with Mercedes
1t was then Gale slowed up. For
the space of perhaps sixty seconds
he had been moving with startling
velocity. He peered cautiously out
into the plaza. Under a street lamp
at the far end of the path he thought
he saw two dark figures. He ran
faster, and soon reached the street.

Fact That 1t Was Once "Duty Card"
Responsible for the Custom That
Now Prevails.

In England the first act imposing a
tax upon playing cards provided that
no pack should be sold unless marked
by the stamp Office to show that the
duty had been paid, one stamp being
placed on the wrapper and another on
tbe face of zone of the cards"
A good deal of confusion arose, his
torians explain, and as the law was
often evaded a later regulation laid it
down that the ace of spades should be
the duty card and that it should be
printed by the authorities themselves,
the makers supplying the paper. Sheets
of 20 aces of spades used TO be issued
by the stamp office to the manufacture
ers for a sovereign.
A century later an act lowered the
duty to threepence, and this was laid
on the wrapper supnlied by the stamp
ofice. The NAME cturers, then, OF

With the possible exception of her
debut in the world of elocution, when
she spoke a piece" from the teach
er's desk at 'Gast-day exercises" the
greatest single event in Mary Loulse's
life was the loss of her first tooth.
She was seated at the side of her Aunt
Evelyn, pensively exploring, with an
inquisitive little pink tongue, the gap
left by the missing incisor. Suddenly
she broke the silence:
"Aunt Edible, wonder what color
my new tooth will be when it comes

aunt, puzzled at the question, "Why?"

CHAPTER I.-continued.

"Dick, think, think With Mercedes
also it was love at first sight. My
plan is to marry he1 and get her far
ther to the interior, away from the
border. 1t may not be easy. She's
watched. SO am /. Rojas must have
got word to his friends here; yester-
day his gang of cutthrcat rebels ar
rived, and today he came. When
learned that, I took my chance and
left camp; hunted up a priest. He
promised to come here. It's time he's
due. But I'm afraid he'll be stopped.
You see, we're over the line"
care we in Mexican territory noW?"
queried Gale sharply.
81 guess yes, old boy. That's what
compIicates it. Rojas and his rebels
have Casita in their hands. IF Mer-
cedes is really watched-if he" iden-
tity is known, which 1 am sure is the
case-we couldn't get far from this
house before I'd be knitted and she
seized
"Good heavens! Thorne, can that
sort of thing happen less than a
stones throw from the United States
line?" asked Gale, incredulously:
''It can happen, and don't you forget
it. You don't seem to realize the
power these guerrilla leaders, these
rebel captains, and particularly these
bandits, exercise over the mass Of
Mexicans. I've seen Rojas. He's a
handsome, bold, sneering devil, vainer
than any peacock. He decks himself
in gold lace and silver trappings, in
all the fnery he can steal. He spends
gold like he spills blood But he is
chiefly famous for abducting women.
The peon girls consider it an honor
to be ridden off with Rojas has
shown a penchant for girls of the bet
ter class"
Thorne wiped the Precipitation from
his pale face and bent dark gaze
out Of the window before he resumed
his talk
Consider what the position of Mer-
cedes really is. Rojas can turn all the
hidden underground influences to his
ends. Unless l thwart him he'll get
Mercedes as easily as he can light a
cigarette. But I'll kill him or some
of his gang or her before / let him

Dick Gale drew u long, deep breath.
A coIdness, a lethargy, and indiffer-
ence that had weighed upon him for
months had passed out of his being.
On the instant he could not speak,
but his hand closed powerfully upon
his friends. Thorne's face changed
wonderfully, the distress, the fear, the
appeal all vanishing iii a smile OF
passionate gratefulness.
