If we had Bolivar Monahan ventured. Doctor Lindsay laughed. Does our Irish Venezuelan patriot, who comes from Killarney, and who, therefore, most believe in fairies, imagine that General Bolivar might free us from this impasse? said the Irishman; at a Sure, word from Simon Bolivar men will like spirits out of spring, the earth. But we havent the spirit of Bolivar with us now ; instead,' we have a spineless jellyfish who sits and broods over his blunders, knowing that we face starvation or capture by the Puerto Cabello garrison when the army behind us shall have pushed us westward to the month of this funnel of jungle that, holds us helpless."

Between Colonel Pin! and myself an armed truce existed. Whether, by some miraculous turn of good fortune, we won free, or whether the malevolent jungle or the Spaniards claimed us, the result to me would be the same; for the friendship of a few trusted aides of Bolivar might never save me in a court, because I was guilty and could not offer a defense. Yet no apprehension of what Pin! might do to me could prevail against my happiness, because I had seen the Senorita again, had caught the tender cadences of her voice, had won ford full-arme- When TEETHING makes HIM FUSSY One of the most important things you can do to make a teething baby comfortable is to see that little bowels do their work of carrying off waste matter promptly and regularly. For this nothing is better than Castoria, a pure vegetable preparation specially made for babies and children. Castoria acts so gently you can give it to young infants to relieve colic. Yet it is always effective, for older children, too. Remember, Castoria contains no harsh drugs, no narcotics is absolutely harmless. .When your baby is fretful with teething or a food upset, give a cleansing dose of Castoria.

W. N. U., Salt Lake City, No. ' 46-19- 31. j . For three days we ate and rested and caroused, unmindful of the forces of Spain, for we could have held this ship against an army. And the lean Indians filled out like dogs at a feast, and eyes brightened, and shoulders squared, and patriotism flamed again, and strength came back to us strength of body and mind and spirit and the will to win was ours, and a desire to pit against the enemy this renewed vigor that belonged to us. We put away one more gargantuan meal a breakfast and took, each, two pistols and a musket and sufficient ammunition to carry us through a score of skirmishes, and then we set the torch to the good ship Santa Lucrecia in a dozen different places. We turned our faces southward toward the barrier range, where an enemy awaited us, and with songs of victory on our lips, we drove onward up the timbered slopes while flames spurted skyward from the doomed ship and, spreading into the jungle, fashioned a raging hell behind us. We emerged from the cover of the forest and fell upon the thin line that held the heights. They must have considered us shrieking demons from the fiery pit that we had left, for they broke, crying out in the, fulness of their terrors, and cast their weapons away as useless against the imps who had just escaped from the blazing tumult that devoured the jungle. On we went, ever southward, down the forested Incline that led toward the vast basin of Lake Valencia.

I I cannot help believing, Garde, that at Carabobo tomorrow, we stand or fall. The general stakes all on this last battle; we win an empire or we are for ever slaves. BOWELS The Battle of Carabobo I think Bolivar as a toastmaster was the peer of any man I have ever seen. It was his wont to bring his officers together once a week in what he termed a dinner, but which usually developed Into a carouse, for wine and rum and other spirituous liquors were cheap and plentiful in Venezuela. Bolivar, demanding only obedience of his men, took no note of their morals ; wherein, I think, lay one of the secrets of his amazing hold upon his soldiers. In the spacious hall of the adobe house that was his headquarters we were gathered on the night before the battle of Carabobo. Besides Bolivar there was the wise and suave Marino, chief of staff; Urdaneta, whom the general called Rafael, a faithful follower of Bolivar, who, for many years after the death of the Liberator, served his country with brilliance and distinction ; Paez, chief of the llaneros. Plaza, Cedeno, Colonel Pini, all smiles because of his questionably won decoration; Colonel Mackintosh, Colonel Ferrier, who, on the morrow, was destined to find the fatal bullet ; Captain Minchin, another Briton when fell upon the field of Carabobo ; Moore and Lindsay, English medicos; Captain Scott, Monahan, the swarthy Manuel, Francisco and others names to conjure with in Venezuela. Santini, the soldier, had not survived the storm that wrecked the Santa Lucrecia. Under the surface of laughter and badinage lay the tension of overwrought nerves, for we felt the portent of the morrows battle. Men were called upon for speeches or toasts. Colonel Pini, whose bloodshot eyes showed the effect of the vast amount of wine that he had consumed, found unsteady feet and, swaying beyond the bounds of safe equilibrium, related the fragment of an amour, the questionable wit of which might have lifted laughter only minds. Manuel out of gave an account of my unsuccessful attempt in New Orleans to imitate San Isidro, and my equally unsuccessful effort to vanquish four men, which drew the attention of the gathered officers in my direction. I had never made a speech, nor offered a toast, but when Bolivar, encouraging eyes upon me, said, Should we not get the voice of the United States, a great nation after which we hope to pattern our own?" I came slowly to my feet, my mind a blank, and tremors shaking me. Leaning against the table for support, I stared wine glass vacantly at the in my right hand, and Pini, noting my embarrassment, laughed harshly. he cried gaily, or If A speech, the Americanos mind refuses to funcA toast to the tion, a toast. Senorita to the lovely Lamartina ! A silence fell upon us a grim foreboding silence for many of these men knew of my mad worship of the Senorita. The look that I bent upon Pini had nothing of friendship in it ; it was more like a challenge. That he was drunk I knew, and that her name upon his lips gained nothing for a lady was a thing of equal certainty to me. booking across the narrow table into the leering eyes of my tormentor, I felt the surge of an overwhelming fury, and before I had taken time to consider my act, or the consequences of It, I had cast the contents of my wine glass Into his face. Then, while Pini spluttered in anger, I turned to Bolivar. That, my general, is the voice of the United States, where men are wont to look with reverence upon a woman. The amours of Colonel Pini Pini came to his feet, his face flamI will have his ing, eyes gleaming. life for that, Ill run him through, Ill drive a sword !
