has consented to be a patroness of the
ji Eecond Bryn Mawr Horse Show? "Well,
"the has. And "War Horse Show does not
tnean that only "War Horses are to be
i, ".shown because U'3 a war Horse snow.
Vjso, Indeed; "not by, no means whatso-
jfc t.ver."
f'j Nancy, you better behave and not use
i Incorrect language oven In fun, for there
? are some parsons who think you don't
Kknow any better, and that would be awful,

Do you know, i like talking to myself

i-tne you might have noticed It; or perhapi
i lyou had and would remark It, and so, my
f friend, I beat you to It, so to speak, didn't
11 I did.
r 'IT-HE boxes at the Show have gone llko
I unto hot cakes, I am told by Mrs. Ned
.' Browning, who has their disposal In
charge, and among the prize donors from
out of town are Mrs. George Baker, Jr., of
Tew York; Mrs. J. Watson "Webb, Mr.
; Ambrose Clark and Mrs. "William McLean.
, , Mrs. McLean's prize is to go to the best
artillery horse, because Mrs. McLean Is
most interested in that branch of the serv-
I' i Ice, having one son a captain and another
f a. lieutenant in tho artillery,
i And I told you about tho Itough Riders
ifrom Camp Dls, who aie to give exhibi
tion riding, and tho Allied officers, who will
play polo on muleback.
. Won't it bo great If tho mules get
"i fcalky? I think It's going to be a scream.
MRS. CHARLES MUNN has charge of
the prizes. She has been up in Now
Tort for that show and stayed with the
Livingston Bceckmans there. She also
visited in Narragansctt Pier. Mary Paul
Munn is certainly pretty and attractive.
Bho has so much style, too. She fairly
grew up with horses and no show would
eeem complete without her In her tiding
clothes and derby hat.
SheT has the dearest small daughter,
who is already starting to ride, and who,
like the small daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
gtout, looks "too cute for words" in her
riding clothes.
DID you know that Millie Ryerson, in
, other words Emlllo Uyerson Charles,
of Cooperstown, N. T formerly of this
city and Chicago, however, has a daugh

INVOLUNTARILY the leaders of the mob
fell back awed by the girl's courage and
dignity. There was a murmur of voices,
ending In a chorus of admiration and
homage.
"La rtelna! La rtelna!" they cried. "La

Then the sharp-witted Pedro, resuming
command over his ragged troops, stepped
forth, waving to the others to keep silence.

T "Ah, Plos mlo 1 safe enough, in the sala.
But for thee nlna, Sa'pona, how scared I've
been I And they called theo queen, thou who
art our ftueen Indeed, beautiful, bravo one!
But thou shouldst not do this not for so
ugly a penor my beautiful nlna '."
TVhen the great door cloFed and the noise
from the peons growing fainter In the dis
tance, the stern dignity of the Indian girl
vanished before the slmplo talk of her old
nurse. Queen of the Indians, as tho neons
called her, this girl might be although why
they called her bo they would llnd It difficult
t0 ten uut for tho faithful creature, with her
eager caresses and affectionate words, roy
alty, real or Imaginary, scarcely counted,
"There you are, foolish Fellclta always
scared at something! Danger? What dan
ger Only a greeting from those who are as
fond of me as thou art. Now, to thy work.
I must speak with this troublesome Yankee.
Many a day It Is since I have seen him here.
And then Fellclta. I am dying of hunger."
Shaking her head at her mistress' lack of
caution the old nurse hobbled down the
gloomy corridor and into the sunny patio,
fracrant'with Jasmine and sweet rose, where
two Indian girls, seated upon the flags sur
rounding the opening of a centra! cistern,
were crushing corn In the primitive stone
hand mills of their race.
Kesumlng something of her statellness of
mien the youthful ' "Itelna de los Indlos"
turned to the right along a passageway lead
ins; off from the main corridor Into the sala,
or principal living room of the house. This
was more scantily furnished than such apart
ments usually are in Bogota. All that It had
was of the plainest half a dozen Cheap
rocking chairs, a straight-backed cane settee,
a tall plerglass, ornamented at the top and
sides iwlth meaningless gilt stucco work, and
a dark walnut cabinet, carved In elaborate
hunting design, with massive spiral pillars

of this oung girl his manner lacked that air
of confldciicr he had so readily assumed In
the face of danger. Ho whs HI at ease; his
glanco shifted from one objoct to another In
the room ; his sombrero was tightly clenched
In his hand; he avoided the hteady gaze of
his rescuer. Yet tliero was in his attltudo
toward her an Indefinable homage, dye, per
haps, to the queenly rank that others ac
corded her, or else to tho rare, feminine love
Ureas, the subtle power of which few could
cFoapo.
"Senorita, you have ilono mo a great sciv
Ice," he said, "I was on in way to see you
when I had that brush with tho peons. Thai
is my excuse fi.T taking refuge in your house
and eposlng you to danger. "Will ou foi
give me? Will you "
"Ah, my good Don ltaoul'" she interrupted.
"What' questions! And from you ! Of course,
'f ' was ot bcrvico to jou Just now, 1 am

"It is good to hear you say that, Ponotita,"
lie replied with evident tellef. "I na afraid
things might bo different between it". You
sop, ou disappeared so completely. You
have not been In Bogota for mcr.ths, for
years, Senorita. And then, today at last I
heard of your arrival. I wanted to seo you.
I have not forgotten you In all this long
time, you may be sure. SaJIpona!"
A faint flush overspread the girl's delicate
features; a strange Jook kindled within her
dark eyes.
"It Is well, Don Ilaoul," she said In a low
voice.
"And here you are, still tbo Queen beauti
ful, mysterious I" he exclaimed.
"You know I am not a queen," bhe mur
mured. "Why, even nrw they called you so. Those
Jackals felt your power Just as I do, beau
tiful .SaJIpona !"
"Knougli. Keuor! Tltles and flatteries I
neither cato for nor deserve are a mockery
In in. on houe "
"Tho title is jouts by tradition, It not bj
right. As for flatteries "
"Wo 0 not' lie by traditions," Mic iMtei
rupted "To me, at least, you ate La Tteliia lie los
Indlos "
"Ah, well, Senor," she said with a low
laugh; "eveiy queen, I fancy, should h.uc at
least one subject. And now supposing that
I am this queen jou talk of what is it jou
want of me?"
"We always used to be friends. SaJIpona.
Can wo not be friends still?"
"There's another Htrange question ! IIuC
surely you did not com here to ask me that7
There is something else, Don ltaoul," she
added, regarding him Intently.
"It Is that, first of all. And then I had
it In mind to tell you thai" my friend is re
turning to Bogota David Meudon."
"David Meudon," ehe repeated, as if pon
dering tho name, looking steadily at ltaoul
tho while,
"But then what Is that to me, Senor?"
she asked.
"You remember him?"
"Yes, of course I remember him. IIo has
been away a long linie, hasn't he?" Then,
after a pause, "W.hy does he come back'"
"To solve a mistery so he writes me."
" niyetcry?"
"Ho talis it a mystery." laughed the other.
"You nee, when we were living hero together
he disappeared for tlireo months. -We thought
he had been killed by a dynamite explosion.
Surely, you have heard of It, Senorita?"
"Yes I think every one has heard of it
And ihen, at the time, there were rumors
l'or Instance, I heard I heard who exploded
the dynamite."
"Sure enough, there were all kinds of tu
mors. Hut, of course, tho whole thing was
an accident, n horrible accident, that nearly
cost David his life. IIo didn't heed the sig
nal In time or something went wrong the
signal or tho dynamite. Anyway, lr wasn t
seen or heard of again for thrco months.
"We all thought he must have been blown
to bits. Then u curious thing happened.
One morning I found him In my hons in a
bort of trance."
"Well?"
"When he came out of the frame he de
clared he could remember nothing of what
he had been through. Those threo months
were a blank In his memory." '
"And then ?"
"He left Bogota, declaring he would never
como back, That was. Just three years ago "
"But"
"Tea, now he Is coming back with some
friends to solve this mystery, so he says."
"What mystery, Senor?"
'Why," replied Raoul slowly, looking at
her Intently, "the mystery of those three
months when ha was supposed to have been
In a trance."
"What la a trance, Don Raoul?" asked the
girl Innocently,
Ilaoul laughed.
"Ah, that would be hard to explain to a
queen of the Indians," he. said, "A trance
is net exactly a sleep, for a man may tall:
and travel and do things. Just like other men,
when he's In a trance. But iw hen he Is him.
self again, he remembers nothing of all that
happened when he was In tlte trancc."
Then you think he was In a trance dur
lng those three months when he disappeared
frc-m Bogota?"
res."
, "And that he has forgotten all that hap.
pened to.hlmjn that timar '
"Could he ever remember?"
"There Is only one May In vthlch he could."
"How Is that?"
"If he could return to the same scenes
and conditions through which he passed dur
ing those threo months,"
"Hut for that ott would haie to know,
of ctilree, what those scenes and conditions
were?"
"ExRclly, Senorita "
'ilcally. It Is all very Interesting," she
said dreamily. "I have heard something
llko It In fairy tales, I think; but not in
real life. And now why do jou tell nil
this to me. Senor? ' sho assed, as If struck
by a novel Idea.
"Ah, SaJIpona," he replied with a smile.
I havo told ou merely In nnswer to jemr
own questions. You have shown that for
toma reason or other you are Interested. '
"Interested? Why, ot course 1 am Inter
ested If for no other reason, simply be
cause you are. This David Meudon. you say,
left Bogota threo years ago? Slrango that
he should leave so suddenly and with his
work In this cciintry unfinished!"
'Ican't tell how much jou know of David,"
ho said musingly "Hut there Is every rea
son why jou, more than anj' one else, bliould
be Interested In tho man who attempts to
solve tho secret of Guatavlta SaJIpona."
There was no mistaking the emphasis
placed on tho gili's name; nor was there anv
disguising tho effect Its peculiar pronuncia
tion had upon her. SaJIpona looked at ltaoul
In alarm, than turned from him In manifest
Lonfuslcm. Presently she gave a low laugh
and her eyes sought his again.
'Ah, jou Yankees arc strange people,'' ehe
said.
"Some, say j-ou are only monemakers. But
It appears you are more than that; for j'ou
listen to foolish legends, like the rest of us
and j'ou believe them."
'Yes, I believe this one, SaJIpona."
"Does the man who ko btrangely lost hl
memory by j'our dj'tiamlte explosion believe
this one?" bhe asked, laughing.
"I don't know. Perhaps ho never heard
IU"
"Well, it's very interesting, anjway I
mean, about the trance and the dynamite. I
want to hear tho end ot it. You will surelj
" romo again, won't j-ou? And tell tne when
jour friend arrives In Bogota? she added,
giving him her hand.
"You arc ever the queen; j-ou dismiss me
from jour presence," ho complained, taking
her hand, nevertheless, and kissing it.
"Tho streets are safe tot you now. Penot,"
she said.
"Thanks to you. La lleina '"
"Ah, I would do much more for j'ou than
that, as jou know, Don Ilaoul!" she ex
claimed, an arch smllo giving to her beauti
ful features a rare flash of plquancj-. "And
now adols, Senor!"
"Surely not 'adols,' but until the next
time, Sajibona," he replied, as lie bowed
himself from the snla.
rtaoul's belief In the legend involved (?
SaJipona's namo marked a radical change
which ho had undeigotio since ho arrived In
P.ogota. To his keen, logical mind the pro
posal to enlist In a quest for the long-lost
El Dorado seemed, at first, far too quKotlc
to he ttilcen Reriously. But lie humored tho
Idea, originating in David's fondness for
studies touching tho bordet lands of romance,
In the hope that he would divert a puiely
fanciful project Into more profitable chan
nels. Later on, however, he was himself
caught by tho practical possibilities lurking
in the old Chlbcha legend. Hence, it fol
lowed 'that while David was enjoying the pic
turesque llfo of the. llttlo mountain capital.
Ilaoul was delving in musty records, running
down old traditions and studying the topog
'raphy tableland with a degree of patience as
tu details that tho subject had rarely re
ceived. I'or days at a time ho but rowed In
the crumbling archives of the Museo Naclonal,
an unpretentious little edifice not far fiom
tho palaco of San Carlos, In which weto
stored, pell-mell, practically every evidence
that remained of Colombia's prehistoric clvi
ll7atlon. Here, with only the gray, shriv
eled mummies of two ancient kings of the
Chibchan to watch him, he had reconstructed.
hs best ho could, the past of this vanished
raco of people, had convinced hlmsflf of
their v ealth, scarcely any of which had fallon
into tho hands of tho Spanish, and had laid
his plans for discovering a treasuro which
had balked cverj explorer beforo him.
Combined with theso studies In tho Na
tional Museum and in tho vicinity of Lake
Guatavlta, Ilaoul had busied himself with the
peons of the neighborhood, From theso ptlml
tlvc people he learned enough to corroborate
the main features In the Chlbcha tradition
as handed down by Castellanos, Pedro Si
mon, Piedrahlta and other chroniclers of the
Spanish Conquest. In addition, he unearthed
tho curious legend that tho Sacred Lake
would never yield up )tB treasure except to
one' in whoso veins flowed the blood of tlu
Chlbcha Kings. ThiR bit of prophetic ro
mance had come, It was said, from father to
son through tho four centuries following the
martyrdom of the last of the zlpas.
Ho was told, also and It added lo the
fantastic character of the prophecy that n
secret, l.nonn only to the zlpas and theli
direct descendants, attached to Lake Guata
vlta, and that bj means of this secret 'the
treasure hidden beneath its waters would be
discovered
ltaoul at Hist paid little heed to this pari
of the legend It had too strong a flavor
of Jatter-daj lomance to go for more than a
recent addition to the main tory of the
wealth of the Chlbcha kings and tlu-ir pe
culiar religious customs. The persistence
of tho idea, however, the belief In its truth
on the part of those repeating it, gradually
excited his Interest and led him Into all
kinds of theories as to the existence and
recover ot tho Ouatavita treasure.
That so fanciful a legend could have won
even tho partial belief of so Ingrained u
skeptic as Ilaoul Sterns at first ubsurd on
the face of It. BUft"most of us can recall
Instances enough of similar lupses from tho
hypercritical to the oversuperstltlous to
make this ono not altogether incredible. As
often happens also in such cases as with
those otherwise reasonable persons who be
lieve In fortune-telling, omens, apparitions,
etc. this bit of superstition, having once
lodged itself in Itaoul's mind, increased in
Importance, opening up nn absorbing Held
for his love ot psj-chologlcal novelties, until
it finally became a monomania, an obsession,
as tho scientists call it.
These ancient zlpas, he argued, were tho
chieftains of a superior raco of people In
the annual tribute from the tojal treasurj
to the national god, who was supposed to
live at the bottom of I-ake Ouatavita, thej
catered to the credulity of their subjects
while, in reality, laughing In their sleeves
at them, jo to speak, all tho time. Mm
ot their Intelligence were not apt literally to
throw awaj' wealth thej had themselves
amassed, and which they must consider as
belonging to them and to their descendants
But as thej' apparentlj' did throw it away,
it was more than likely that thej used some
kind of hocus-pocus, known onlj to them
selves, by means of which the god Chlb
chachum In whoso existence they did not
believe was cheated of his annual trlLute
How they practiced this diceptluii they
must surely have told their children. Tho
coming of the Spaniards, however, and J ho
overthrow of the ancient dynastj. had raado
of the whole affair a greater secret 'than
ever. It would be handed down from one
generation to another so long as there were
descendants of the ulpas; but theso survivors
Of the royal line would find It Increasingly
difficult, owing to the presence of tho Span
lards, to take the steps needed to tecover
their anccsttal treabure.
There was some plausibility in Itaoul's
reasoning enough, perhaps, to excite the
romancer's Interest but scarcely that of the
practical man of affairs to whom are broach
ed the detalld of a mining venture. Convic
tion grew, however, with Raoul, whose In
vestigations were confined thenceforward
less to tho archeologlcal aspects of the prob
lem and more to the task of discovering
the whereabouts of the living descendants of
the zlpas.

P.LSCKSS PLGGY. there's n man down
le street that I want to thrash, and
I'm not big enough to do It ulone. Will j'ou
help me'."'
This astunisliing tequest made Peggy slf
up straight in the ponii swing where she had
been drowsing over a book. Before her,
his cjes faitlj blazing with Indignation, stood
Wily Belgium
' Wh.v. gracious me you know I can't to
that, saied IVggv "It isn't iadjllkc to
fight. '
"Yon II not have to do any of the real fight
ing. 1 II lasso him with a rope and all jouil
have to do will be to hang on to the tope
while J thump him "
This sounded real exciting to Peggj-. but
sho wasn't going to tush blindly into a ton
unless there was good rriison for It.
"Who aro jou going to thrash and what's
he done?'' sho asked
"He Is rich old Jonathan Hardflst who
owns that beautiful country placo JtiBt outsldo
of town," replied Blllv-, doubling up his flst.
"I'm going to thrush him hecauso ho refuses
to help defend America by buying Liberty
Bonds Ho sa.vs ho can make moro money
using his spaio funds In his own private
business."
"Isn't that mean of him'' exclaimed Teg
g. "I've heard rather sav that he owes
ever.v cent he has to tin opportunities given
him In this free country when he came from
abroad jeais ago. And now he will not
do his part in keeping the country free."
"Will jou help me thrash him?' again de
manded Illilj'.
"Of ionise I will." teplied Peggj. "He de
serves it. Are j'ou sure lie will not buj'?"
"Ho told me so himself. You know I am
selling bonds because I'm a Belgian refugee.
1 told him how tho Huns robbed the Belgians,
how thej' wronged them, how thej- killed
them. And all ho answered was, 'We're safo
enough over hero in America.' Ah If anj
place In this world would be safe It we don't
win this war "
"Let's hurry'"' exclaimed Peggy. "But
n.aybe we'd better take a big policeman along
to help mako a good Job of it '
".Huh ' The policeman might stop us We 11
not tnke anj chances that waj'"
Htriy had a clothes line vvhlih ho intended
to U"c as a lasso Ho tied a noose In this as
h" and I'cggj hurried along toward Jonathan
lliiidtlst's suburb'in estate
"Wo will creep Into his garden and wait
until ho comes along,' exclaimed Rlllj-. "He
v.ulks u lot in his garden thinking up schetms
to make monej'."
As they entered the Hurdfist propcrtj.
crawling through a hedge, Peggy gasped at
Its benutj. There wero wldo stretches of
lawn, charming flower gardens, thriving
patches of vegetables, a great palace-Ilke
hous, and various other buildings. Including
stables, gatages, and servants' quarters. It
seemed to her that Mr. Ilaidllsl ought to he
vyHUng to lend America all he could to keep
this Miff.
Huddeinj- a voice stopped the children.
"Ask him again It he will help America
protect linn and all the nation."
The command came from a statue standing
on a high pedestal above them
it's I.lberlj-," whispered Billy Belgium In
an nvrdoloc. "1 saw her statue aa I en
ured the l.anduf tho Pice."
