Quickly ‘he unfastened the leashes of the three horses which had brought them from | Elise‘s fazenda and gave these to the old man to hold. Then with a knife |which he had found in the soldier‘s uniform he slashed at the bridles of _the others so that a slight pull would sever them instantly. "Wait here," he whispered. | Carefully he took his pistol from his belt, then looked toward his couâ€" 'sin, who at his unexpected appearance had instantly cast off her air of paâ€" tient despair and weariness and sprang to her feet to watch intently his every move. "Walk to me, Elise," he said. | She obeyed quickly, her black eyes (Once more he silently opened the door, and with the other‘s hat pulled far down over his eyes, took his post outside it, prepared to grunt in Porâ€" tuguese to any of the soldiers who might approach. But they were too occupied with their suppers. He stepâ€" ped noiselessly inside the room again. "Come on," he whispered to the old MaANâ€" Creeping along the edge of the house and then into the tangled vegeâ€" tation which instantly swallowed them up, he led the way to a clump of trees a hundred feet behind the fire where the troopers‘ horses were tied. Here another soldier was on guard. Crawling up behind him, he renderâ€" ed him unconscious by the same effecâ€" tive method he had used a few moâ€" ments before, now employing the butt end of his pistol instead of the wine bottle Clapping his kand over the sentinâ€" el‘s mouth to prevent an outery, Vilak brought the wine bottle down upon his head. The guard, stunned into unâ€" consciousness, started to fall. Vilak caught him and dragged him inside. Quickly he stripped off the prisoner‘s blueâ€"striped coat, trousers and hat, denned them himself, strapped his pistol around his waist, took his rifle, then bound and gagged him in case he should recover consciousness more quickly than Vilak expected. He began crawling through the underbrush toward the fire. The mustached caplain had now taken a place beside Elise on the log. Vilak stealthily crept up behnind him. "Don‘t turn, my capitaz," he said quietly as he pressed the muzzle of his pistol against the other‘s back, "else 1 shall be compelled to kill you Which would be a pity. Stand up and move forward to the fire. If any of your men lift a hand to aid you, that inâ€" stant you will die." The officer‘s body quivered. Vilak could see the muscles of his thick neck swall. But he neither answered nor made any effort to resist, merely rose stonily from the log and began trudgâ€" ing forward. The soldiers looked on in stupefaction. When the officer had reached the fire and Vilak was in a position where he could survey the cirele of gaping, grotesque faces about him, he ordered the officer to halt. was certain nseded none of his guardâ€" ing. o GROCERY TRADE AT ONCE.

Vilak put his foot into the stirrup of his own steed, whinnying nervously as it witnessed its fellow creatures‘ terror. "Adios, amigo=," he called cheerily to the captain, and springing into his saddle, raced off toward the road. His two companions followed. They gain=d the highway. Vilak turned his horse to Villapa. They sped on through the darkness, hearing behind them a few futile shots and volleys of passionate curses as the soldiers searched blind‘y in the woods for their vanished steeds. Vila listened and laughed Elise gazed at him thoughtfully, then leanâ€" ed over and kissed him. Their horses did not slacken their headlong pace. In half an hour they had reached Villapa. Quickly they found Hilson, the superintendent. His face, long and tapering like a carrot, was gaunt, his eyes hollow, after effects apparentâ€" ly of a long attack of fever. Judging, however, by his quick active moveâ€" ments, he was well on the road to convalescence. He raised the flaming ember he had in his hand and dashed it close t= their heads, shouting loudly. The frightened animals whinnied,â€"snorted, and tugged frenziedly at their halters to escape the flaming enemy. The weakened leather snapped, the panicâ€" struck beasts dashed wildly into the forest. His astonishment on seeing them for a few moments was so great that He reached the clump of trees. Elise and the old man were in their saddles, Nunnally clutching the bridle of Vilak‘s restless stallion. Vilak tied the bridle around one arm, then with the captain still in front of him and the horse trailing behind, walked to the mounts of the soldiers tied to the trees.

"Nanny‘s waiting there. Both of you mount and wait for me Call out when you‘re ready." , He watched her move off to the shadows, heard her low shout, then picked up a blazing ember of the fire and began walking, thrusting the capâ€" tain constantly before him with his pistol. Minard‘s Checks Falling Hair, THE MASTER MOTORCYCLE HARLEYâ€"DAVIDSON A continuous supply of vegetables can be secured if the earliest sorts such as carrots, beets, onions, lettuce and spinach are planted at intervals of a week or ten days until the end of June, One must cultivate frequentâ€" ly, thin out well and fertilize heavily with some quickly available material like nitrate of soda every ten days if the plants are to be kept going and the resulting crop _ made tender. Where possible soak well with water every three or four days if the weathâ€" er is very dry. It is well to remember that one thorough soaking a week is worth a dozen daily sprinkles. After watering get out the hoe or scufier and loosen up the top growth so that moisture may be preserved. Follow the early crops‘ of spinach, lettuce, radish and onions with later maturing sorts such as tomatoes, beets, carrots, beans and corn, These can be interâ€" planted with the early vegetables and will not need full room until the first named are taken out and consumed.

When the Child Creates His World Edith L Reid "The minute Lonny comes home from school he wants to run right over to Roy‘s house," complained Mrs. Palmer. â€" TE DOTTT : Lonny‘s mother would have said she couldn‘t have them baking a cake in her kitchen. _ Dick‘s mother would have reproved them for being too noisy at their skating. Yet both of these mothers bemoan the fact that their sons do not love the homes which they, the mothers, make and condition. "That‘s exactly the way Dick acts," sympathized Mrs. Martin, "Me stays at home barely long enough to eat his meals." When Roy‘s mother found his chemistry #et in his closet she omitâ€" ted any scolding about his putting those old bottles of acid near his best suit. Instead she quie.y removed the new suit to the spare closet away from harm. Roy‘s friends actually went into the kitchen one rainy day and made a chocolate cake after Mother‘s recipe, They washed the dishes afterwards, ate the cake and then rollerâ€"skated in the basement. Mrs. Palmer shook her head dole fully. "I fixed Lonny‘s room all up beautifully when he was away last vacation and had it all ready to surâ€" prise him when he came home. We got him a desk and painted his bed, and Daddy even built him a bookcase. But he is not satisfied to stay at home if he can get over to Roy‘s." Mrs. Martin nodded in agreement, "I spent a lot of time on Dick‘s room, too, last summer. 1 made him a darâ€" ling bedspread to match the drapes and knit a rug to make it look homey. I just adored it and wanted to sit up there myself. And then one dayâ€" what do you suppose! 1 found three of the boys sitting on that lovely spread calmly playing with their marâ€" bles, and Dick cried because I scolded him before the others." And so the conversation continued between the two perplexed mothers who were doing so much for their children yet failing to make home the most desired place on earth. Their deploring voices reached me at intervals for half an hour as they talked from their back porches and I weeded my flowerâ€"bed behind the hedge. And 1 thought how little one can tell of a home from the outside, I knew Roy‘s home and his parents. They were able to give Roy no more advantages than Lonny and Dick had, but there was this distinction: Lonny and Dick were presented with possesâ€" sions; Roy was given the opportunity to create his own environment. Roy‘s room is exactly as he wants it. His bed is a comfortable cot with a durable Indian blanket as a cover, Not dainty, to be sure, but something that six boys could sit on without makâ€" ing a wrinkle. _ Roy made his own bookcase from an apple crate by putâ€" ing in two rather wobbly saelves. It is not a work of art, but represents a happy week of hammering and creaâ€" tive work in the basement. Its upper shelf possibly holds a j r of live polliâ€" wogs. The Foreign Trade of the 1} .S.A.
