Otherwise, who knows what might have happened? For that reason, see that he's paid a hundred pesos. That's a reward for a hero. “Also, he was the fool and traitor who let danger into the fort.

And even Sergt. Andres only rolled up his eyes once to heaven. For he could not even conceive & beating that would not be healed and instantly forgotten for the sake of a hundred silver pesos. So he was swept out of the room. The general then demanded that the scoundreds who had entered his rooms and locked the door behind them should be produced instantly. ‘There was no one to produce! The whole of the two rooms had been searched and nothing had been found. People had even looked out the win- dows birds, that you looked out the win- dows?” shouted the general, so. loudly that his mustache was thrown into confusion by his cry. “No, you fools! You rushed into the rooms in a crowd and the two thieves slipped out from behind cur- tains and joined you in your search. They milled around with you, like two more head among so many cattle. And then they sneaked away from the fort. “They are in some inn now, drink- ing and laughing at the soldiers of Duraya. The garrison of the fort becomes a laughing-stock. The Presi- dent will hear of this. All the army will begin to laugh at me—me—me!” He raised his voice a bit for each of the last three words, until his shout was & hoarse scream. His officers gave back a little. He looked as though he might charge them with been known to do such a thing before this. And then he saw, between two soldiers at the door, the pretty face of Rosita, from the inn of Miguel Santos. Some of his rage disap- peared at once. He had her brought in. As he watched her walk forward he began to forget about everything. Even the emeralds of Our Lady turned into bits of green glass, so far as he was concerned. However, he knew that a good way is to sound the loudest trumpet first. “To draw soldiers from their duty, that is treason!” he thundered at her. “Do you know the punishment for treason?” “To be stood against a wall and shot down,” said the girl. And she spoke with such a quiet, even voice that Ignacio Estrada was moved. “You have a story to tell,” he said to her. “Every woman can at least tell lies. Come out with your pack of words.” “1 know nothing except poor Sergt. | Andres,” she said. “Why do you call him ‘poor’ Sergt. Andres?” “They were beating him with whips | as I came in through the gate.” “He's your lover, eh?” “To me he is nothing.” “But you come to tap at the pos- tern when it's his turn to be on guard behind it?” shouted the gen- | eral. “I never have tapped at it. He told me how to knock if I wanted him. I never wanted him." One of the officers bit his lip to the blood to keep from smiling. “Ah,” said the general, “and you sold your information to thieves? Is that it? Thieves and murderers— and you knew them—and you sold the news to them?” “What did I sell?” said the girl. “The sergeant owed money to & poor |man. The poor man could never meet Sergt. Andres to ask for the | money that was owing. So I told | him to tap on the postern and how | the sergeant would answer him. That is all.” She made a little gesture with both | hands, raising her shoulders a trifle. She smiled a bit and shook her head, PROPOSALS DEPARTMEN Bivision E PROC orks | Washington. D.

But he was drinking in the inn and com- plaining about Sergt. Andres. That is all.” “Where is he now?” “How can I tell, excellency? I only see what comes into the inn, and he has not come there for many days. “Friends,” said the general, sud- denly, to his officers, “is she speak- ing the truth?” “She is too pretty to tell a lie” answered Don Luis. The general frowned and the frown pulled the shag of his black hair down over his eyes. ‘Then he waved his hand, saying: “The rest of you leave me. Remain outside the door. I am going to see what the truth of this may be.” He added, with a roar, "stop your | damned smiling and get out!” The officers got out in haste, and left Ignacio Estrada alone with the girl. He pointed to a chair. She thanked him with a little bow and slipped into it. For a time he remained with his thoughts. Then he arose and began to pace up and down the room with his left hand on the hilt of his sword. He knew how to move his hand a little so as to bring from the scabbard an ominous and a mar- tial sound of humming steel. He began to marshal words like soldiers, for he felt that he was about to attack a prize greater to him than any rich city. The wind had fallen from a yell to a moan and the rain no longer | whipped those aching bodies which remained rigid on the ledge under the windows of the Governor's room. “After a time we’ll grow cold and weak enough to fall,” said Rubriz to his friend. “And then we'll climb back inside to make a last stand. But we'll be no good then. It would have been better if we had fought it out in the beginning, when they broke down the door.” He pointed down. Below them went the lights of a patrol. Every few minutes those lights had been pass- ing. The fort of Duraya was as tensely prepared as though a great army were about to rush to the at- tack, and every man was at his post. “Still wait for a little,” said Mon- | tana. His jaws ached with cold as he | spoke. The words came shuddering {out of his throat. “We still have | some part of a long chance.” | “What chance?” asked Rubriz. “One chance brought us up to the Governor's rooms. Another chance may get us out of the fort again. | Hush! That—that is Rosita!” There had been a slight lull in the rain again, and he heard the sweet voice of the girl, penetrant because ‘of its high pitch. He worked quickly along the ledge until he was under the window of the bed room again. He could look in over the sill, while Rubriz was posted on the farther side, whispering: “Now that he's alone there with the girl—we could leap in and kill him, Montana. That | would be worth more than slaughter- ing a dozen of the soliders. “Hush!" commanded Montana. The girl had come into the bed ! room and was looking quietly around her. Behind her moved the Gov- ernor, his eyes glittering through the black shagginess of the hair that still pitched from his forehead. Gen. Estrada was excited, but the girl had in her eyes that blank look which the Kid had seen in them once before, as though thought were mastering her senses. She turned around and looked up at the general with,those blank eyes which were seeing the future, per- haps. | Rosita turns traitor, tomorrow. | — Dublin Dancing Again.

Nancy well knew what was going on over there in the ready- (to-wear depart- { ment, but she had stopped attending fashion shows two | years ago, a year {after the bank had Iclosed, leaving Harvey jobless and swallowing the .family fortunes as Ttme was when Nancy had strug- gled with the others for the best seat, to stare breathless over negligees and eve- ning gowns. But today—well, why go to a review of day-after-tomorrow's fripperies when hold allowance to buy plaid to freshen up the frocks of year before last! The elevators disgorged a load of | flying arms and smiling faces, the | crush grew thicker and in the end a craning mob just as a sleek page girl trod the runway to announce “hostess gowns.” Nancy didn’t care one way or the other about hostess gowns. They were gorgeous, of course, but she wondered if any one ever wore trailing petunia- colored velvet around the house of an evening. She couldn't exactly see herself serving beer and pretzels to her Tuesday evening two tables of | bridge garbed in silver cloth and scarlet. Hostess gowns were some- thing remote, like the wardrobe of a | movie actress. “Beautiful,” breathed the fat wom- an next to Nancy. “It's dirt cheap, | too, only $79.50. I priced it.” Seventy-nine-fifty stood for exactly one month's rent, the gas, water, light, telephone and laundry bills and | the children’s lunch money for four weeks. It came to Nancy that you could give her any number and she'd tell you what the dollars and cents would represent in terms of her own household necessities. Fine for the budgeteer, perhaps, but not so good for the disposition. The page girl announced, “Specta- tor sportswear.” Nancy shifted her bundles and decided grimly that she might as well stay and see what she'd be wearing if she and Harvey still be- longed to the country club. The packages only contained one Sunday | shirt for Buddy, school handkerchiefs | ‘for Frances and socks for the baby, but they became inordinately heavy as Nancy thrilled guiltily to trim skirts, dashing sweaters, gay be- quilled hats and remembered that people used to say “Nancy Connor wears the best-looking sport clothes in the whole club.” It had been a good thing, Nancy re- flected, that penchant of hers for tweeds and woolly things. She'd been able to make over lots of her things for Frances and had managed to keep comfortably warm even during the last Winter’s severe cold when Harvey had nursed the furnace along on a minimum of coal. This year Frances had grown so she’d have to have something new, and Nancy could manage somehow + with the same old frocks. But she SERVICE ARMY. Howard, Col.

Nancy remembered that on her desk was her unmailed resignation a8 president of the Parent - Teacher Assoclation; that she had regretted Mrs. Parker’s bridge tea: that she had declined to serve on the | Ladies’ Welcoming Committee of the | church, all because she didn't have a decent afternoon dress. | A manikin paraded sliukily, in something slim and straight and | black, a flare of blazing white about | the throat. Lovely, alluring, charm- | ingly simple! “Funny,” thought Nancy, “that they should show that particular dress. Wonder if they've forgotten | that there is a pretty good copy of that dress down in the basement for $5.98. And besides—" She had $7 in her purse, market money to last till Friday.

She got off at the first IfiaoE . . . | Dinner was over, the dishes washed, the children in bed before Nancy said: “Harvey, I went to Franklin's style show today.” “Did you, honey?” said Harvey sympathetically. “Don’t worry, may- be next year you can buy out the place. Things are looking up a bit.” “But I bought something this year,” said Nancy. “You what!" “Wait. I'll show you. Nancy ran iup the stairs and Harvey became faintly ill as he heard the rustle of | tissue paper. He didn't know which | was worse, the prospect of having to find money for a new dress or the idea of his level-headed Nancy going wberserk long enough to indulge in & | spending spree. She was coming back down again, |in something slim and straight and black, a flare of blazing white about the throat. “Is that the new dress?” gulped Harvey. “New dress, darling? New dress! Of course not—it's the same old dress I've been wearing for two years. It's the collar that’s new.
