WIN. “Fifty against the dog!” shouted Matteo the Marksman. “Taken,” in & mere careless drawl came the reply from Arvidi, the game- | ster. It was a typical Mexican scene— the interior of the chiet gambling den at Truro and a critical stage of the game in progress. Marvin Howe happened to be pres- ent amid that ewarthy crew—a float- ing quantity in the general situation involving warfare, anxious to get North and out of it and the opportunity offered just that'day with a decidedly | favorable change in fortuge it he car- ried out secret instructions given to him. The position was this: The com- i mandant of the sectional insurgents | wished to send a particular message to hardly drag around, ® co-patriot one hundred miles away. | . con-| It involved a junction of the two e forces. The intermediate forty leagues of territory, however, were occupied by a dangerous enemy. The chiet at Truro was surrounded by enemies and spies. He had hired Howe to do some translation and reposed confidence in him. Howe engaged to cross the danger line and deliver his message. Both knew that while as an American citi- sen Howe might get through to Texas, he would be challenged, suspected, searched on the way. 80 a singular maneuver was decided upon. Within the private room of the chief earlier that evening, his eecre- tary had imprinted across Howe's broad shoulders the message he wished conveyed to his fraternal auxiliary. Those Mexicans were adepts in using an indelible stain that would wear and remain clear, at least for a period. Howe was to try to find some free lance who would accompany him and (T (< e i 12 Arose Unsteadily From the Table. warded, returned to home, friends and flancee—to Nellie Duryea, the only Nellie in the world to him beyond the unsettled border line. Howe had thought of Matteo and that was why he was now an inmate of the noisy gambling den. He was a free rover, neutral, popular with both sides of the insurrectionist party, he knew the country like a book and Howe fancied felt friendly towards him. Howe had found him at the card table pitting his money recklessly against the most daring gambler in Truro. It was a strain on his patience to see him immersed in the cards. He was in funds at the start and then Howe saw his last dollar go. A hand- some ring was staked, then his watch | and now hig most faithful ¢riend and companion, the dog. Everybody who knew Matteo knew also his dog. The animal was tiny, but fearless and very intelligent. He | was the constant companion of his master, who had taught him all kinds of cute tricks. With his unerring marksmanship, the man who could clip a silver coin at fifty paces, combining his show dog, could gather a crowd at any time on the public plaza and could have a royal salary in a vaudeville sketch. The cards went the rounds again. Matteo lost. Howe saw & strangely desperate glint in his eye as he arose unsteadily from the table. He turned slightly pale. Then he shrugged his shoulders and walked over and kissed the little dog asleep on a pile of news- papers. Straight as a soldier then, he walked from the room. “It will break his heart t> lose his friend,” Howe told Arvidi quickly. “May I redeem him?” and he proffered fitty dollars in paper money. “All right,” nodded the gambler and then Howe snatched up the dog and rushed after his master. Howe over- took him at the street door. “Yours,” he said, placing the little pet in his arms. Matteo stared at Howe in a dazed uncertain way. Then his fingers gen- tly caressed the dog. His voice broke as he comprehended what Howe had done i \ “Amigo,” he said, folding Lis b:ud | In a fervent grasp, “when my fcrituo | | turns I shall know how to repay you.” | ! “I can help it turn just now,” re | H marked Howe significantly. Howe | knew he was a man to be trusted. He told him that he was authorized to pay royally for his guidance and direction. | . “I can pilot you safely,” he said—"I am your man.” It was a devioue route, that by which | Matteo led Howe from Truro. His ! sole object seemed to be to evade a collision with marauding parties and he succeeded famously in this. The third day out of Truro, however, an in- cident occurred that confirmed a sus- picion Howe had entertained ever since starting on his present mission. The morning they left Truro Howe had noticed a man he had seen hang- ing around the chief’s quarters dog- ging his footsteps. He had called the attention of Matteo to this, who had carelessly asserted that if he was one of the numerous spies in action they “would soon lose him.” However, twice in two days after they had started on the trail they caught sight of a distant figure remind- ful of the man they had observed at Truro. It was early in the morning that atteo suggested a plunge into a near reek before they lit a little fire and cooked their frugal breakfast. They had disrobed and were disporting themselves in the cool sparkling ! stream when an ominous sound echoed ut— ! Cliext Then to the consternation of Howe, turning he saw & man, the man who had shadowed him {in' the city just rushing away with a camera. “Matteo!” shouted Howe quickly— “the spy. He has photographed the message on my back!” “So?" observed Matteo, speedily springing ashore. “Ah! He had that purpose in following us, eh? Then he shall not get away so easily.” Matteo had run to where his clothes lay. It was to seize his revolver, with which he was a crack shot, from its holster. ‘ Howe, transfixed, watched the man with the camera running down the river shore. The fugitive had a fair lead. Matteo aimed. Crack!—followed a sure steady aim. Howe saw the runner waver and change the camera to his other hand, evidently hit, Crack!—a second sharp explosion followed. Howe saw the camera shoot out pleces of glass and wood where the bullet had plerced it. Dropping the wrecked camera and holding his wounded hand, the spy disappeared. “The message is written partly in cipher,” explained Howe, “but that man might have been able to make it out after close study.” “He is doubtless one of the un- serupulous crowd infesting the prov- ince, ready to blackmail, sell secrets or betray his best friend,” acceded Matteo. “Well, he has failed in his mission and we will scarcely go in bathing again.” They reached the end of their jour- ney in safety and the secret message was transcribed. Matteo returned to Truro with a rich reward awaiting him. Marvin Howe crossed the border, bound for home and his waiting flancee, pretty Nellie Duryea. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) TEN HOURS’ SLEEP NEEDED Neurasthenla and Its Resultant Evils Would Then Disappear, Says Prof. Carl Schieicht, Sleep—that {8 what gunmen, pick- pockets, divorcees, speeders, tango maniacs and many others need, if Prof. Carl Ludwig Schleich has the right idea. “Civilized man or woman of today" —the . professor is speaking—'must learn to sleep at least ten hours of the 24 it he or she expects to check the increased wear and irritability of his of her modern neurasthenic life and temperament. Sunset and sunrise are nature’s time for sleeping and awak- ening. Sleep quietly one-half your life away. You will have twice as much out of the other half. Sleep is the preserver of the spiral electricity of the blood veesels—it is the key that | winds up the timepiece of life.” Rather neat, what? The trouble with our criminals s neurasthenia—expressed in a confu- sion between their possessions and other people's. Our society women have neurasthenia—expressed in the feverish tango, bridge parties, and shopping orgies. Then there are our business men, whose neurasthenia is expressed in a foolish fancy that dol- lars plus dollars equals happiness. The American family's neurasthenia has produced a divorce record that is not pretty to look at. When men or women are hungry they do desperate deeds. When they are hysterical from lack of sleep they are fit for treason, stratagems and spoils. Many are so sleepy that they can not sleep. Going to bed at sunset and getting up “at sunrise is a particularly ra- tional policy in summer. Neurasthe- nic city people, without taking the professor’'s extravagant dose of ten hours of sleep out of every 24, could do a great deal worse than go to bed ; early in the summer and then get: up in time to gather, for their health’s ‘ sake and for the peace of their souls, a giorious bouquet of sunrises.
