yet it was not all folding of the
hands, and drowse in the oiled°.
There was much business with Don
Miguel, whose seventy years wore
not yet all eaten of the locust, tted
who belled the Ittlowarm estimate of
him 01 J3ravo's memorandum. Soluo-
times, too, came the Orange King
out of up Palm City, bringing nOWS
of arms upon the sett, great stores
of ammunition, boxes of shrapnel
and case, and nuolitirie chests and
hales of surgical lint. Astuata bore
,her share ia the consultations, and
helped much; for she had at fingers'
ond whot 1.11111 man could do aod
could not, what that man could not
and could. It was she who 'node the
suggestion about landing the .con-
• teaband at Espoleto, on the north
side of the Wand, where was a, na-
tural harbor used only by half a
clonal fishermen, culd-most fortunate
of all -whore only a weekly visit was
paid by the Ifiopaniolon customs

with its asses and its mules, is afire
for liberty And Maddalena.? Why,

done. -
The Orange King praised her nim-
Moness 01 Wit. Yet at the back of
that cool brain: of his, amid details
of ordnance, ancl gleam pressures,
and special soils for oranges, and
Stock • Exchange prices he stowocl
s away a neat littlebundle of dislike
labelled Aswan,. Ile walked through
the world by instinct : to look at a
man or a wontan and say, "You'll
de," or "You won't do," was
enough for him. Ile did not mince
matters with Hector when 110 got Ms
chalice.
Heetor was teeing him 11 Scots
mile on the road to Palm City, the
Orange King stepping eturdily, brid-
le over hio arm.
"So. she is 011 the sea," inurnmr-
od Hector, sending his burnieg gam
to the horizon, as if he saw there

"Do you COMO With US to meet

lin looked sideways at Bettor, with

Hector walked back to Friganeta
not altogether easy in his mind. But
it was not so much of Asunta he
thought, as of Macl•dalena on the
sea. Yet Asunta's bold beauty ob-
truded itself again and again, and
for the first time since he had set
his hand to this business or revolu-
tion he felt that success might not
be the certainty he had thought it
would be. Now that the Orange
King had opened a new door in his
twain, recollections of little actions,
little speeches, little looks of Asun-
te, s trooped out and set themselves
in disconcerting array; and he saw
that, taken in 1110 mass, they could
mean, but one thing. Ile wished for
a moment that he had never entered
on this adventure, and the next sec-
ond upbraided himself for his cow-
ardice. Why, but for the adventure
'lie would never have seen, never have
known, never have loVed Maddalena:
his Roo) was all miserably hopeless,
but it was now the mainspring of
his life, the very breath of his nos-
trils. Maddalert, 0 Maddalena ! She
was coming, She was coming.
Yet -end yet -success seemed to
recede as Asunta's face rose agate
in his vision. Asunta thrwaited
might be As.unta, an enemy, and with
her almost man's energy acid power
of hate -he knew how great weee
both -God alone could tell the end.
Yes, he must leave Friganeta-he
would leave it that night.
A strangely familiar cry clove the
stillness of the starlit dark. Hector
stepped and listened. Ho heard the
fall of running feet. Again came
the cry -It was his 110108, and with
no softness of Pahnotto•speech. He
ran back and fell into the arms of
Alasrlair.
"0 1 man, Heckle, I thecht ye wad

"I've never had any secrets from
you yet, Alasdair— You're right.
But I'm half afraid to whisper it to
rayself---"
Their talk had carried them up the
avenue that led to the house, and
now they stood at the door opening
Into the patio, where a tiny foun-
tain plashed amid green branches and
flaming blossoms.
Dim lights shone from unobtrusive
corners, making soft and shadowy
the cool space. And now, against
the background of green and dusky
red, the shadows took shapo, moved,
and stsunta, radiant in palest yel-
low, came to meet them with out-
stretched hands and welcoming eyes
-rather, canto to meet Hector, for
Alasdair lingered in the darkness.
"Your Orange King," sho began.
"I shall hate him soon. Every time
he comes, you walk away with him,
and each time you stay longer ana
longer."
"Indeed, but this time it was not
ho. My brother—"
''Your brother 7"
"My foster -brother lias arrived -is
here. Como„ Alasdair, come and be
presented."
Asunta bent forwartl and peered
forward and into tho outer dark, as
Rector turned to the door and
beckoned. There was a moment's
pause, and then Alasdair stopped
(emend into the light, making that
bow of dignified deference all High -
short cuts, a little settling of wben
Don Miguel and Asunta were to come
to Caldera, and Hector retired to
his room to pack a valise and see to
his •arens.
Came a tap on his door. He flung
it Nelda open, to see Asunta, breath-
less and leekless.
"You hate me 1"
"Dona Asunta, 1"
"You hate 1110 1"
"That is not possible- Why should
I 2"
"But you do not love me? Do
You love me ?"
There was a 'desperate woman be-
hind every breath of it. Eagerness
crushed all toll:nets from her face :
the cheek bones hardened, tho chin
and nose shatmened, the month shot
on a. lino. But with all heer desper-

"We shall come with you, then,"
cried Asunta, claiming her hands;

her; 5110 will be glad of your pres-

releases you." .
The honor was not altogether un-
expected, but the pleasure it gave
Asunta was keen. For the moment
she forgot everything in it -every-
thing save to stoop and kiss Doc-
tor's hand. There was oothing ridi-
culous in the action -it was out-
wardly a mere expreseion of thanks.
Yet behind that, she did not lot it

milled with a side look to Don

Asunta's face fell. She Saw /110
trap now. She shrugged her should-
ers almost contemptuously, swept
him an over -elaborate courtesy, and
'left the patio on the top of a ninth
wave of dignity and resentment.
Hector looked queryingly at her

quence sublimed.

Unclean dairy utensile are ono of

is due to the presence of utglesrable
bacteria.. Some bacteria aro useful
and necesoary in the art of causing
such changes as the souring of milk
and the ripening of cream and cheese

These bacteria are minute organ-

conditions. The conditions most
suited to their growth are food,
warmth and moleture, all of which
exist most favorably in milk and
dairy utensils which have not been
thoronghly cleaned, Bacteria are
especially numerous in and around a
dairy, and get into the 1111110 10
