Loren Garde, of Norse and French ancestry, bl l' and blond as a VIking, nimble ot movement and wlth the sword thrust of D'Artagnan, Is a hero or breathtaking Interest.. H e tells his own ent hralling atory. It Is a story or hazard and exploit, desperate chances and romantic passion. Loren meets Dulce, fairest of Sp.a.ln"a daughter• In the Western world, and find~ hie loyalty d! vided between her and the cause he 111 called upon to 11erve. In tbe wake of that conflict of devotions come duels and dang·ers, conspiracies and disguises, plot and counterplot. Surprise follows on surprise, glory on despair. Loren Garde Is a wildcat In flght, a tempe~t In love, and a. mighty poor follower ot any leader except the e-reatest. But the leader ill at hand: no less a personage than Simon Bolivar, ""the Liberator," the George WashIngton of South America.. The indomitable Bolivar, who could at will play the melody of love or the slaughter-song of hate upon the heartstrings of his people, Is familiar to the annals of history but has never betore appeared so vividly In fiction. The a.uthor has gone far beyond the name of this personage and brought to light the man. R om an~ When there Is an overproduction of bones, a dog buries the surplus. He knows that much. CHAPTER I -1- M o o n-Madness I sat, one night, upon an iron bench and studied the Cabildo-to me the most imposing building in that historic city which lies, crescent-like, within the curving sweep of the 1\IIssis· sippi. Musing, I watched the scroll ot history unroll before me. I saw De Bienville and those hardy followers of his who had erected the first house of the Crescent city; I saw the Spaniards pass-moving to the west and souththe Frenchmen come and go, and the Spaniard come again; and I heard the thunderous shouts from a thouMud throats as Claiborne unfurled from the Iron balcony of the old Cablldo the Stars and Stripes, emblem of the new republic. "Ah, well," I said, halt to myself, half to tbe vanishing shades of history, "the varying fortunes or Louisiana belong to the past ; she Is safe now within the fold. No more will she be ruled by kings and queens, courtiers and courtesans." Whereupon a sound broke Into my reverie-the lilt of a woman's laugh, as clear as the note of a mocking bird.

Under a blow that found his whiskered jaw his majesty went to his hands and knees, then he came swiftly to his feet, right hand seek! ng his hlp, and th@ slim blade of a smallsword gleamed in tbe moonlight. "Not so hasty, Adolfo," said the graceful courtier, whose face, I noticed, possessed so much of the high beauty of the face of the lady that I knew him for her brother: "you must-" "A dog," Adolfo gasped. "Why should I not run him tbrough? Did he not accost us;- did be not stare at Carislma; did not the stupid clod Jay violent hands upon a Fuentes?" "But, Adolfo mio," said her majesty, "he Is unarmed." Ah, sweet angel! I was unarmedshe had noticed It. I bent a worship· ing head. "Your majesty Is too kind; I was but a lonely being, who, dreaming on a bench In the moonlight, heard a voice coming out of tbe night, and a vision-" "Loco!" cried Adolfo, emphasizing the charge of madness against me with a whistling sweep of his sword. llJeduce the Acid S iserabl e Backache? 1 V. fJ.

"Give him thy blade, Polito; must I waste the evening on a stupid ladrone?" Polito, reading my face, found acquiescence there. ..He drew his sword, grasped the point with thumb and forefinger and, resting tbe gleaming steel across his left forearm, extended the hllt to me. I caught it In eager fingers, for she had called him ''mio"; and tbat proprietary "Car!sima" of his had ldnrlled a fire of senseless jealousy within me. Polito's weapon balanced like a feather in my hand; a Toledo blade, In truth. I swung It In a tentative arc, and the air sang beneath that blow. His majesty shrugged out of the long cape and, point raised, advanced upon me. "Guard," said he. I think the hissing cadence of my sword touched a cord of cowardice in his majesty; I think he must have realized that it was not a stupid clod who stood before him, and I'm sure such realization added nothing to his confidence. ''Not so fast, Senor," I cried; "do you not know that the road to hell Is traveled In haste, while heaven Is reached more slowly?" He swore In his beard, and I continued : "11' I should hazard a guess as to your maliquerade I would say tbat you are Charles the Fifth of Spain, a noble king who lived three hundred years ago; but your actions and your words belle your regal trappings." "Guard, Senor!" be gasped. Now a devil or Impudence percbed upon my tongue: "And your llldy will be the gracious Eleanor, yet lovelier by far than tbe consort of your ancient namesake ; aye, infinitely more beautiful than Spain's great queen herself, the splendid Isabella, whose charm has furnished through the centuries the motif for song and story." "He Is mad," she breathed, "mad I'' And so I was, I think. "Must I run you through, dolt?'' Adolfo cried. My moon-madness disappeared, my brain cleared, confidence was mine. And, as I Ia ughed aloud from the sheer joy of the thing, our blades came together wlth a rasping whisper. I felt of his wrist, and found an Iron rigidity there; I tried a tentative tierce, and met a swift, efficient parry. No mean adversary, this powerful Spaniard in his regal raiment. We swept back and forth, our blades wblpping the air In whining arcs, or hissing together in venomous slitherings, our labored breathing coming and going throu~h set teeth, our feet tapping and sliding along the pavement, every mW' cle of our bodies tensed, every nerve alert, every glance searching-searc hIng for an opening, and every fleeting tbought building plans of attack and parry. I As we contended thus a circle of 1 curious gathered- gathered silently } from nowhere. They spoke In a wed l whispers, as though the spell of this night of madness lay upon them also. Polito came within my view as we circled and parried and offered riposte and swift counter-riposte. I smiled at him, for Polito had too much or the beauty and grace of her majesty to gain any enmity from me. I was happy to find a frien!Jly light ln his f eyes. Now I caught a glimpse of the 1 lady, upon whose exquisite face lay the pallor or fear. A 'tear, no doubt, for the stui"dy Spaniard wbo had caller! her Carisima . . . and she had called I him mio. And here was I, mad with an Inexplicable and overwhelming love, a love that was-because of its utter hopelessness-n othing short of sheer Insanity. Whereupon I laughed wildly, and charging with reckless abandon, beat my adversary down with a furious attack that carried me near to victory. "Nearly," I cried, "nearly, Your 1\!ajesty !" "Nearly,'' he answered, and his deep voice came almost in a gasping sob, "is never quite enough." Now, when I heard the labored effort of his voice I knew that I had won. With the realization that I was his master my youthful pride offered a jibe or two: "Cannot a lonely being dream ln the moonlight, Your Majesty, and conjure up the figures of the past, or look with favor upon a lady without the charge of madness being placed against him?" With a frenzied burst of barges he built up a gleaming wall o steel In front of me. I moved back before that last attack, listening with fine satisfaction to the labored breath that whistled through his teeth, for be had nearly reached the end-and knew it. And when I felt a weakening of that Iron wrist of his, and noted the dimin· ishing power of his lunges, and saw the look of animal terror that leaped into bls eyes, a deep disgust for the man entered my soul. I would let her see the terror in his eyes, I would have her know the craven that he was, and If she chose to love him then. . . • I advat;~ced in attack now with all the reserve force that I possessed. Parrying wildly, he retreated before this final offensive. I think the fear of imminent death had touched his brain, for when I thrust, _and !'elt the steel take hold, I heard him offer up a sigh almost of contentment. His sword, falling from nerveless fingers, clattered upon the cobbles; with a soft cry of "Carisima" he went to his knees, and then like a man who is very tired he crumpled slowly to the pavement. A passion of resentment, ot disgust, still burned within me. "Charles the Fifth indeed," I said, casting my sword to the ground beside him : "bah-you should be called Charles the Last!'' I turned away as her majesty dropped to her knees beside the fallen man. ''Ah, 'Dolfo mio," she cried, "Adolfo!" "Carislma," he said again. Polito laid a hand upon m1 arm. "We would apologize, Senor. "To me," I gasped ; "you andand-?" "Yes, Senor-my sister, the Senorita Lamartina. We have just lately come from a bal masque, where Adolfo has doubtless looked too often upon the bottom or an emptied_wine glass. May I hope that you will let me offer our apologies?" I laughed aloud In a sudden and unexplainable excess of happiness. Then she wasn't his wife ! "The Senor and his sister will find me ever at their service," I said. "One never knows-a time may come--" "You are kind, Senor, as well as a gentleman of high courage."

' • William Dampier is one ot tbe most extraordinary figures !n the story of exploration. He was a great navigator and a great explorer; but he was also a buccaneer with a reputation for cruelty. His name Is remembered for two reasons. First, because he was undoubtedly the first English seaman to set eyes on Australia and the first explorer to do any hydrographical surveys there. Secondly, while buccaneering, he took part In some of the most amazing exploits of tbe so-called Brethren of the Coast, crossed the lstbmus or Darien and was present at the sacking of Santa Marta. Twice the government sent Dampier to the South seas. The second time he returned poor n.nd ill, wrote a "Vindi· cation." and lived to sa!l again on the Hunter's Paradise Of all European countries Bulgaria is most richly stocked with game, partly because little hunting was done under Turkish rule, and partly because the mountain afford natural sanctuaries for wild life.
