Doan's In New Orleans, in. 1821, Loren Garde, recently an officer under General Jackson, is surprised by the appearance, in ancient Spanish. costume of two men and a woman whose beauty enchants him. Resenting the arrogance of the elder of the men, Garde fights with him and wounds him. He learns his opponent is Adolfo de Fuentes, colonel in the Spanish army in Venezuela, Garde to overhears a plot to overthrow Spanish rule in Venezuela. Discovered. he fights, but is overpowered,, and made prisoner on the Santa Lucrecia, ship bearing arms for the Venezuelans. On board are the conspirators,; the lady of his love, her brother and De Fuentes. From the girl. Garde learns her name is Dulce Lamartina. He loves her, but does not reveal his love. The vessel is wrecked. Garde reaches the Venezuelan shore, alone. He encounters a stranger and sees Dulce. The. stranger. Captain Monahan of the British legion under Bolivar, directs him to friends in Caracas. There, supplied by Monahan with the secret sign of the patriots, he is welcomed at the revolutionary headquarters. Garde attends the wedding of Dulce and De Fuentes. Dulce recognizes him and leaves De Fuentes at the altar.. She is torn from Gardes arms. He escapes. Finding Garde, Dulce tells him her wedding to De Fuentes was to have been the price of Gardes life. They reveal their mutual love. Garde is made prisoner. From D Fuentes. he learns Dulce has disappeared. He is rescued from prison by a revolutionist, Manuel, and with Polito sets out for Bolivars camp. They are intercepted by Po-lit- o, Venezuelan soldiers. Garde discovers his companion of- the night has been Dulce, and is dismayed by his. lack of perception. Dulce escapes, but Garde is seized. His captor is Colonel Pini.

For I felt that Manuel would save me. The sailor pushed through the crowd of curious Indians who had gathered to look upon the great general, and Bolivar, striding forward to meet him, threw his arms around the broad shoulders. My ugly angel, he cried, deep affection in his voice, "I have not seen thee for months! What brings thee in such haste from Caracas? Manuel grinned at the rest of us, His Caracas, General, is boiling. Where dancing eyes considered, me. is the Senorita? Aye, said Monahan laughing, did he not boast? The next man who asks me about the Senorita, Manuel, shall feel the weight of jny fist. The sailors keen insight read the. menace in the air. This man, general, belongs to us, he is one of us. Yet he comes in the garb of Spain. A garb that I myself procured. You should have seen me. He laughed. I am perched like a rooster, on the comb of a roof in the moonlight, a piece of heavy tiling in. my hand, waiting for a tall Spanish officer to pass beneath me. I was amazed to discover that Caracas is filled with He stopped to short fat officers. laugh again. Finally one, a captain, approached. Upon his head I deposited the piece of tiling, and upon his flattened body I deposited myself.

What more? There is little more, General. The beautiful Senorita Lamartina is lost, and all the forces of Caracas have .failed to find her.

What of the Spanish officer who rode last night with this Americano? There was no Spanish officer. General, who rode with him. The resemblance between the Senorita and her brother.

I remembered well thq last words, of Bolivar to him. who com- manded the center of our attacking lines. He had embraced our colonel and had said, Remember, Pini, we take the town of Maracay and hold And Colonel Pini, had sainted, it. proud of this glorious mission, for Pini, however much he may have failed, bad no lack of courage. On the broad fertile valley that lies to the east of Lake Valencia we met the enemy ; Paez, east of us, and Plaza, to the west, attacking at the same time. The history of Venezuela calls this battle only a skirmish, for It failed of Its goal because the body, cannot go forward if the wings are dragging. In our unit were two hundred of the British legion and over four hundred Indians, and despite the dragging wings, we pushed onward until we touched the town, which, after an hour of fiercely contested crcolizodlVax Keeps Skin Young Get aa ounce and um as dlroted.

In an hour they had found wine and- - rum, and other drinks to satisfy them, and so became, at last, more tractable under the commands of their officers. I had given strict orders to my battalion that no captives, wounded or well, should be murdered, which had been, up to this time, the general procedure in the frightful war of death that Morales had inaugurated and that both sides were waging; so squads were roaming over the city, carrying to the nearest available houses wounded men for treatment. At one of these houses I found CapHe was leaning tain Monahan. hands in the an adobe wall, against pockets of his tan and gray Jacket, noisome pipe tilted at a rakish angle, and idle eyes upon a western sun. I Why do you stand there, laughed; will the poor walls fall If you remove your support? I am waiting, said he, disregarding my levity, for Colonel Pini to come to his senses. Then you have a long wait, my captain, for Pini will never arrive. The Lamartina boy is inside. He pointed over his shoulder with an inHe wants to see different thumb. Our- - n I have the Francisco interrupted. proof. Excellency, here in my pocket. He, drew out the thin leathern wallet that had been in my possession when I had played so poorly the part of. San Isidro. In that wallet I had carried, since a few days after the battle of Chalmette, a piece of paper torn from of my French grammar, the upon which Gen. Andrew Jackson had written a statement the night he, bad stayed at my fathers house; a statement, which, worthless in itself, has. been my dearest possession. May I read. Excellency, what I have found in the wallet of young. Garde? Bolivar turned to me. Aye, Excellency, If it will make of me a soldier under your banner. So Francisco, bearing in mind the generals, limited knowledge of English, read it very slowly: Major Loren Garde has offered valiant service to his country ; he has fought with conspicuous gallantry at Talladega, at Horseshoe Bend, at A Pensacola, and a,t Chalmette. worthy son of a worthy, soldier father. It is signed, Excellency," Francisco Andrew Jackson. said, One could not have come to me, said Bolivar, more highly recommended. If General Jackson, has seen fit to commission you a major, surely I can do no, less. But, Excellency, I cried, it is too much it is more than I deserve. I cannot hope It shall, be done, Major; Francisco has said you will make a good soldier, and Franciscos judgment is never at fault. Such was my first meeting with the Liberator, to whom half of South America, owes its independence, and all of the western world offers homage. Colonel Pini, the sophist, extended his hand. I congratulate you, Major." Intuition told me that. Pini would never be my, friend, a contingency which worried me not at all. fly-le- af The weeks that followed my first meeting with,, General, Bolivar were busy weeks indeed, for La, Torre was massing the forces of Spain to break, the ever tightening republican lines, and the Liberator moved to meet him. My days, filled with feverish activity, went by, and quiet nfghts under the stars were given over to worship at the shrine of Love, for the face of Dulce was ever before me. She semed to be calling, calling, and I have awakened crying out her name from dreams that were so real I could almost have touched her. And, because of the desperation of my love, I became a better soldier, knowing that this nightmare of murder as she called it would be over only when Bolivar had won, for he was not a man to stop short of victory. Then I could seek her out. I met, during those days, Gen. Daniel OLeary, Irish soldier and outstanding figure of the British legion, to whom Venezuela renders today homage ; Moore, Bolivars doctor, a vivacious English gentleman; Marino, his chief of staff, Gen. Belford Wilson, veteran, and son of Sir Robert Wilson of Peninsular fame; Paez, chief of the llaneros, and later President of Venezuela more than once, and Cedeno, Bermudez, Plaza and Urdaneta. The rank and titles that they carried took the place of pay they didnt receive. Under us were English, Irish, Portuguese, negroes, Indians, lean llaneros, the mixed, riffraff of cities, and a few American adventurers. from the States. A motley crowd indeed, and hardly, one that a man might pick to win an empire, yet the genius of Bolivar won them over, touched them with the divine spark of patriotism, and made of this composite crew an army that finally crushed the power of Spain in Venezuela. One mild May morning, as the sun stood an hour above the heights of San Casimiro, we broke through the Carabobo hills and descended upon the little, city of Cura. Having no garrison it fell readily into our hands, then we deployed, east and west and north, to invest the town of Maracay, . . high-soundi- half-breed- s, NURSES KNOW Nurses see many breakdowns and serious illnesses caused by letting the n until it is too weak system to fight off germs.
