liams. TCSTEUDAY morning In the fiulet
little country church at Holmcsburg
' a requiem mass was said for .Lieutenant
f Richard Stockton Bullitt, who died In nc
" tlon In France In the latter part of July.
There were no soldiers present, but the
catafalque, arranged In the center of the
.alale, was covered with an American flag.
r and In the emctery close by, at tho side of
his mother's grae, was a silken nag sur
rounded -with a green wreath and lilies.
It was lust simple and plain, but very
olemn. Only last Friday was his death
finally confirmed, ou know, through let
ters received from arious boys who Knew
him.
Dick was a rr.embor of the First City
Troop, and after It was disbanded he en
tered the efflceis tamp at Hancock nnd
was one of the eighty men to receive com
missions, being made a second lieutenant.
He was only twenty-two In Jul.
It was Impobslble to gel any news from
the Government, and from tho day the
cable came announcing the death on ho
19th nnd followed by thiee letteis fiom
Dick himself, dated 19, 20 and 23. the fam
ily had no word of explanation nt all. And
then the news began to come and various
people, whose sons and husbands had
written telling of Dick's death about July
25, copied out that part of the letter and
sent it to Mr. Bullitt or Jean, and finally a
well-rounded out stoiy ct all the circum
stances and about whete hit. grave is has
been evolved from tho letters And when
I heard tl at It seemed such a beautiful
thlng for 'people to do. nu l Just hope
any one who hears of It vvjl' do the sume
thing about any news they may get In
futuu through nn,y of the boys, about
anykf the men who are killed or woundeJ.
It's such a comfort to hear!
Tho most wonderful thing Is tho way
those bos care for each other. Why,
every letter told how each Individual boy
had visited the grave. Some of them had
walked a mile to It and otl.ers two nnd a
half miles after having been told where
it was, and Dal Koons, Elllbton Moirls,
Jr., and Bill Hopkins eacrf wrote (the
latter to the Bull'Us ,and the others u
their fathers), and all said that the bos
of the old troop had made arrangeme i h
tor a more permanent cross' to mark the
grave and had got some vrench people io
look after It. Which Is a great consola
tion, .for after the war his body can be
brought home and laid where the flag now
flies.
Young Sam Calhoun, who knew Dick
very well, wrote to his moher and told
how the men were advancing In tho face
of ffre from whole nests of machine ghns.
Finally all were quiet but one, and Dick,
ordering his men to lie ore their faces, ad-V-
vanced alone to take the gun and try to
1; save them But as he crossed tho Held

members of his platoon, and by a remark
i able' coincidence, Father Joseph Wolfe, of
if- St. Patrick's, where the Bullltts attended
t 'church, when living In the city, was nmong
those who discovered the body and he pci-
formed the last ceremonies at the grave.
Father Wolfe Is a chaplain In the Twenty

CHAPTER VIII (Coininucd)
HONDA, the picturesque little river-port
whence the tinveler from the toast sets
out on muliback for his three days' Journey
up the mountains to Bogota, was reached on
the following day, ufter n twentj-flve mile
trip by rail from I.a Dorada, the terminus
of tho Mngdalena steamer- Charming .as
Honda is arUiltecturallv, Its quaint red-tiled
bouses nestling against a background of ra
diantly green foothills ovei which the wind
ing trails hading to the fat -distant lapltal
are scarcely ever without their ascending
or descending train of jos-tllng mules and
burros, the place has Mimethlng of a bad
name among foreigners for Its fevers
Whether or not Its reputation in this respect
Is deserved would be bard to say For
the tiaveleh certainly, who lias been con
fined for ten days to the Hide ciuirters pio
vlded by a river steamer, the little town
Ing trials leading to tho far distant capita)
comes as a welcome respite in a long if
not uninteresting Journey.
Here, for the first time, he tastes the free
dom and glamour of the Andes; and In the
movement nnd bustle Incident to i-etting out
on the arduous pull over the pilmitlve
passes "that thread their way across the
mountains, theru Is the stimulus that comes
from the promise of adventure and dlstoierj.
Honda, with Its radiant hunshtne. Its lilted
streets. Its cool vih'te buildings mid low
rambling hostelries hidden under a veil of
flashing greenery, its sparkling little moun
tain stream tumbling beneath, a venerable
bridge that savots of the davs of Spanlsli
conquest and tomance, Is the link of emei
ald between the mighty river of the tropics
nnd tho vast highlands that htretch upward
to the region of perpetual snow. As an
emerald It lives ever after In the traveler's
memory.
In this village It Is hardly more than
that oriental in Its sensuous beauty, Ameri
can of a century or two ago In character jind
outward aspect, the Barcelona's passen
gers were content to sta for a time Cna's
delight Jn the picturesque settlement was
marred by the Impending separation from
David. It was not merely his absence that
caused her unhappiness; she wotrlcd over
the dangers that tJie believed awaited him
in Bogota. Her anxiety was Increased by the
rumor, reaching the travelers on their arrival
at I.a Dorado, that war had been declared
between tho United States and Colombia.
Theie vi as no truth in this rumor; it was
without official confirmation, and ridiculed
alike by Doctor Miranda. David and Leigh
ton. But it was credited by most of the
natives, whose belief was stouth upheld by
the principal American resident of Honda, an
amiable patriarch who hnd once acted as his
Oovernment's representative and was known
throughout tho republic. True orv.fnl.se, the
rumor did not add to the comfoit of the trav.
elers, and Intensified Una's desire to keep
David with the rest of the party until they
could all set out together for Bogota.
CHAPTER IX
On Indian Trails
DOCTOB MIRANDA was right about
Andrew. By the time he had finished
moving his party and the'r luggage from the
stifling railroad shed to the cool courtyard of
Honda's principal Inn. the schoolmaster had
been beaten In his last feeble fight for liberty
and had become the victim to an unlimited
amount of quininizing. No need now to force
Us eyelids apart to reveal the telltale yellow
within. Even a tvro In such matters could
see from his Jaundiced appearance, his quick
breathing, his general Inertia, that he was in
tho first stages of an attack of fever. This,
being beyond dlepute, the little doctor
dropped his fighting humor for one of bust
ling activity, beneath which there lurked a
rough sort of tenderness for his unhappy pa
tient. A bed, a pitcher of "lemon squash,"
and a box of the famous "plWoras." were
quickly provided by dint of much storming
at the Indolent hotel servants and angry
prodding of the astonished proprietor When
all his arrangements were perfected, Andrew
completely in hl,power and stuffed as full ns
might be with quinine, the triumphant
Miranda rejoined his friends, his rubicund
features beaming with satisfaction.
"No! No! my lady," he answered Una's
mitloua Inquiries, "there Is no danger. That
lectio fellow hairrmy pills and plenty nf
quash- He cannoTdie., Soon he'wIU m wall.
SVo
Ills assurances had their effect, although
thev failed to convinie the despondent Mrs
Quavle, who shook her head dolefully, rock
ing herself back and forth In her chair and
bewailing the sad fate that was awaiting
'pool, dear Air. Parmalce In this desolate
eoimtrj." At all of which the hasclble doctor
scowled ominously, taking her complaint as a
retlectlon on his medical skill. Lclghton,
however, faced the sltuitlon In a matter-of-fact
way, while David sit about the ncccs-i-ar.v
preparations for his Journey to Bogota.
An excellent opportunity offered that very
day to Join General Hcrran's party In the
trip over the mountains
A tialn of twenty mules and ourros was
needed for the expedition, and to procure
these and'load them with the necess.uy bag
gage, called foi no small ninoun nf work
and skillful management. The btone court
vard nf the Inn rang with the shouts of burro
drivers, the quarrels of peons Intent on
selling their wares to travelers at the best
priies, and the threats and commands of
ileheial Herran and his officers Above this
dip, apparently necessao on such occasions,
one could hear the strident voice of Doctor
Mhand.i, browbeating some luckless vendor
of merchandise, or ridiculing the eertlons of
those who would bestow n maximum of bag
gage on a minimum of buiro. In spite of the
confusion, however, everything moved along
in as orderly and expeditious a manner as
Is possible with these ancient methods of
travel. B midday the last load was ad
Justed, the"twent animals forming the caval
cade stood strapped and rtjadj for the start.
Hot, stifling was the nil In lae eourt
vaid; the cobbled pavement of the stieet
outside falrlv baked beneath the iclentless
sun Most of the shops and tlendas were
closed for the noon siesta and onlj a few
listless stragglers ventured bevond the cool
white portals of the houses. It was not a
happy hour In which to commence a difficult
joumev ; but Cieneral Herran, maivelously
energetic for ence. had planned to cover a
certain distance before nightfall. So, with
out more ado, the "bestlas" were maishaled,
single file, and driven out, with much shout
ing and laying on of goads, into the street,
where they stood patiently waiting for the
eight traveleis whom they were to cairy to
Bogota. . . ,.
"We are off nt last"' announced David,
entering the nalon where Lelghton, Una, Mrs.
Quavle and Miranda awaited the caravan's
departure "In less than a week .voull hear
from me. By that time, I hope. iu II ho
ready for Bogota."
"I can never go on one of thoe vicious
animals," sighed Mrs. Quavle, her bejeweled
finger.; nervously clutching the arms of the
"vicltrtis!" exclaimed David. 'The are
harmless as kittens."
As If In denial of the comparison, one nf
the burros standing near the doorwav stif
fened out his forefeet and brayed with all
the vehemence of which burro lungs me
capable He was followed by bis comrades
In mlseiy a full chorus of hravs fiom
which no discordant note was missing Had
It been tho traditional bellowing of a held
of hulls It was noisy enough fen- that the
timid ladv could not have been mote alarmed
nor the doctor more delighted.
"Brave'" he Bhouted. "They want you,
mv Senora. They wait for you "
'"(lood-by " said David, clasping Una's
hand.
"Oood-by!" she said almost Inaudibh
"Doctor, look out for them," he called to
Miranda.
"Be sure' Be sure I" was the response, a
glint of sympathy lighting his eyes "Have
a care to you. I have that leetle fellow In
bed He Is full of lemon squash and my
pills. Soon his calentura Is kill."
"Well, don't kill him, top!"
"Ah, canaille!"
The members of General Herran's party
bad alresdv mounted and Were slowly dis
appearing down the bend at the street, pack
mules and burros In the lead. The general
himself, on a plnched.up. piebald horse that,
like Hamlet's cloud, bore a comical resem
blance to a camel, lingered behind for his
guest David's hay. lacking in zoological
vagaries, pranced spiritedly to be gone as
soon as it felt Hb rider In the saddle.
"That Is one good amul," commented
Miranda. W
'The other needs your pills," remarked
Lelghton solemnly.
With a laugh and a hearty "adlos" the
two horsemen saluted the group In the door,
way and galloped off after their companions.
Una watched, motionless, long after David
was out of sight. She had done her best to.
prevent his going, but all her efforts had
been useless Nor could she explain, even
to herself, why It was that she so dreaded
his leaving their party to travel fclone with
Hen an There was nothing logical In the
feeling, of course, and she bad to confess
that for once she was Influenced bv an ut
terly unreasonable fear, n sort of super
rfitutlon. The Jpurney from Honda to Bogota Is a
(fcratnblo over prec'pltous trails worn Into the
living rji'K oy centuries or travel, through
--
under cl6udless skies In a wilderness of Im
penetrable forest. No other city of like sUe
and Importance has so rude nnd picturesque
nit approach, nor nre there many that keep
their commerce along wajs and by methods
so unmodern. The stranger, Ignorant of the
simplicities of South American life whether
In town or country. In bewildered by the
oddities and hardships In a trip of this kind.
But David had traveled more than once
over the Bogota trail, and for him I had
lot Its novelty, especially as his sole aim on
the present occasion was'to reach his destina
tion as iiulckly as possible Herran hnd a
similar feeling; hence, ns the day was not
unpleasantly warm, once they had passed
he nnd the lowlands rf Honda, both men
urged their horses on to top speed. In ft
short time they had left the rest of the party
far behind them, nnd broke Into r race over
the rough mountain trail. Tiring of this,
they dropped back to a more sober gait, let
ting their horses choose their own way for a
time.
"I telegraphed from Honda that we were
coming." said Herran In Spanish. ''They
are looking for us now In BogotR "
"Did you say that I was with you?" asked
David.
"Surely. As an officer it Is my duty to give
complete Information," was tho somewhat
pompous reply. "I gave the names of all
who are In your party and told why they
sta.ved In Honda." '
"Why so much detail about us? My friends
and I aro not connected with the military
movements of the country."
"That may be true. Senor. But you travel
with me and I am Ignorant of your bw 1
ness. ou know"
"Wo travel partly for pleasure, partly
I am Interested In a Guatavlta mining ven
ture "
"So' Will they know that when they pee
our name In the Bogota papers?"
"My friend that I am going to visit will
know, of course I wrote to him that I was
coming Wh do ou ask?"
Mi' Just now. it may he, my countrymen
will 'not like Ameilcan mining -ventures or
Americans "
"Then Americans are In danger?"
"How can I say. Senor?" be answered
with a shrug "I have lost Panama, thev
sa.v 1. too, have enemies Terhaps I am
In danger But ou have a friend In Bo
gota' He Is 7"
"An American; Baoul Arthur"
"I have beard of him"
"He Is well liked here"
That Is good," commented Herran drily.
for the first time lnce he had been In
Colombia David felt uneasy as to the 'pos
sible outcome of his trip His friends, in
reach of the river steamers could leave the
eountr at the first sign of real danger But
everv mile placed between, himself and the
Mngdalena lessened his chances for escape
and that be might need to get out of Co'-ombl-i
in a hurry was evident from Herran's
attitude, his reserve, his ambiguous answers
to David's questions All this was not exactly
through a lack of ftiendllness on tho gen
eral's part.
David knew Herran fairly well and did not
doubt his lovalty. He also knew that he was
uptlcr suspicion on account of the Panama
affair, and for this reason would have to he
extremely waiv In extending protection to an
American seeking to enrich himself In Colom
bia Politically, the man who lost Panama
could not afford to let his name be farther
compromised.
General Henan, however, was not one to
keep up an attitude of restraint for long
The air was bracing, the mountain trail was
in excellent condition, the horses were fresh
and responded readllv to whip and bridle
Under these favoiable Influences, the two
travelers soon became sociable enough, and
even Joked over some of the sinister circum
stances attending their Journey.
"We are a long way from Panama, Senor
and Miranda's pills'." exclaimed Herran
"Heaven help tho schoolmaster!" laughed
David.
"All. poor fellow ' To be at the doctor's
mercy ' But he Is not n bad doctor Only
nine out of everv ten of his victims die, they
say. Perhaps this schoolmaster Have
you our pistol, Senor?" ho broke off sud
denly. "Mi pistol. General?"
'Tor a salute to Panama and our friends."
explained the other. "You do not know the
custom of the road to Bogota In times of
revolution that K at all times And vou
have no pistol." he ndded with a slph "But
this will do for both of us "
Kelnlng in his horse at a shaded bend In
the trail, General Heiran, uneonsclousl fol
owlng the Vat Knight's memorable exploit on
Shrewsbury battlefield, took fiom his hip
pocket a huge eae bottle and handed It to
Dav Id
"Fire the first shot, my friend, and I will
come after with a long one for our Guata
vlta mine "
In the net of carrlng out this pleasant
suggestion, the attention of David and Herran
was suddenly caught by a babel of voices
shouts of command, the tramp nf many feet
coming from the Bogota end of the trail In
terruptions of this kind are more serious than
they may seem to those unfamiliar with Co
lombian mountain travel So rough and nar
row Is the road to Bogota, with sometimes a
pteclplue on one hand nnd n sheer wall of
rock on the other, that the problem of two
parties passing each other Is not always an
easy one. Although this Is the chief thor
oughfare between the national capital and the
Magdalena, it remains quite as primitive and
unadapted to modern needs as in the dns of
the Indians. To widen nnd 'pave it proved
more of a task in roadbulldlng than the
Spanish conquerors cared to undertake, and
their successors in the government of the
country have until now attempted little in
the way of improvement. Thus, travelers
fiom tho lowlands over this Indian trail fre
quently have to fight for a passage through
a descending rabble of men and burros, or
else allow themselves to be crowded off into
a tangle of underbrush on one side or thrown
down a steep cliff on the other.
As It happened, the spot chosen bv General
Herran and David for their friendly salute
was a particular! awkward one In an en
counter with a lot of travelers coming from
the opposite direction. In front of them the
trail rose abruptly In a long zigzag of rocks
and gullies, down which the caravan from
Bogota, the noise of whose approach grew
rapidly more distinct, was bound to descend
upon them.
Their only chance to escape was either
through a morass, covered with a dense
forest growth, or else up a hazardous moun
tain side, strewn with boulders and loose
stones. Of course, they might retrace their
steps until they found a more open space ;
but this Beemed too much like retreating
from an enemy and did not recommend itself
to either of the horsemen.

CHAPTER IV
The Germans Get Stung
B'
ILLY Bi:r.G!UM'S resolve to av both
Jonathan Hardflst nnd his money was
brave, but Peggy didn't see how he was going
to do It Nevertheless, she was ready to
help nil she could
The German ofllcers in the drawing room
were' having a loud discussion over plans
spread out before the general. The con
ference was Interrupted every minute or two
hv messengers who rushed In with reports.
These reports, It seemed, did not bear gcod
news, for the Germans were growing very
gloomy. ,The talk was all In German, but
Billy Belgium could make out part of It.
"The American troops are counter-attacking,"
he whispered to Peggv "The Germans
are In danger of being driven back "
Another messenger rushed In and evidently
his news was very bad Indeed, for It, caused
a great commotion among the offleora The
general rapped out a brusque command
"He has ordered a retreat" whispered
Blllv Belgium
The general spoke again Billy's face
turned while ns he caught the words.
He has ordeied this house set afire and
Mr Hardflst s-liot at once' Come'"
Bill led Hih wav up the ladder Near
the top of (he vcn'llatnr was ,i door Going
through this thev found themselves In a
large attic Billy lushid hitoss to a window
which opened upon n court ard at the rear
of the house
'Look'' he whispered.
I'cggv never foigit the picture on which
bet e.vcs rested. At one side Genr-in sol
dleis were loading Mr Hard fist's treasure
chest into an nnnv automobile At the other
side siood Mr Hardflst hlnisejf. facing a
squad of soldlets armed with rifles
'The 're going to shoot him '" said Billy
We haven t u second to spare"
Desperaleli Bllh looked around for a
weapon Theie wasn't one In sight. A sharp,
vicious buying caused him to jump quickly
aside as a rHrge hornet flew past his ear
on its way from (he window to a nc?t bang
ing from a i after.
" hornets nest' The vrri thing'' he
muttered Snipping off his coat, be wrapped
it qilicklv around the nest Imprisoning the
hornets within Then he gentlv tore the
nest loose fiom the rafter An nngry buzz
from within told that the hoinets were
aroused to h fui bv being thus disturbed
A second nest hung near bv. and this Blllv
treated in the same w-iiv, mapping It In
an old dress he found on a book.
"The minute the soldiers mike a move as
if to fire, throw these among them" he
directed Mm going down to save .Mr
Hardflst." With that he vanished down the
ventilator shaft
Peggy In iked fiom the window The offi
cer In charge nf the filing squad was giving
an order to his men Not waiting another
Instant Tiggi hulled the first nest from the
window, tearing off Blllv 's coat as she did
so Then she hurled the second nest right
after It
The effect was astonishing s the first
nest fell, the Hermans .leaped nwav from It
In alarm, iildeutlv thinking It a new kind
of bomb Their officer elled at them, hut
just then the second ncsi fell and thev were
more nlarmed than ever .lust then. too. the
wrathv hornets hurst forth In a fury They
went right after the Germans, driving in
their stings with vicious Strength.' As the
first hornets landed, the Genrans let out
howls of pain and slapped sharply at the
little fighters Then as the hornets poured
forth In a cloud and the Germans found that
the harder thev slapped th w irse thev got
stung the flung down their rifles and fled
nut Into the garden an where ti escape the
furv of this unexpected attack
The officer waved his swoin in a vain
attempt to stop the flight of his men, hut
when one hornet lit on his nose and another
stung him In the hack of his neck, he let
out a whoop of pain nnd rushed from the
scene nt a pace that soon put him ahead of
his fleeing squad
Koi a moim nt, at leaf t, Jonathan Hard
fist was safe and so was his treasure Peggv
leaned far nut of the window to see hat
Hilly Belgium was going to do next.
