' l.et'rf have that pletuic photographed
and .i copy given to each one of us.
Then we'll all ! Instiled. '
"WjII, all right," hi mid: "I'll Jus',
do that."
So the tievt day. when SamilClson
went down to Manila, he look tho ple
tiue and had a photographer make sK
copies of It, and he also bought some
cheap lolled gold lockets and a couple
of yauls of blue tlhbons. When he
came back to Santa Illta that night he
passed out tho pictures and the loekots
to the other men, and the) each cut off
enough blue ilbbon with which to
fasten the lockets around their UPcks.
"And now." said Johnson, as ho
fumbled at his locket as It swung n
his breast, "I am ready to ho u real

"l.i'ln back then Sammy," com
manded Tonillnsoii. "Ueln back to our

to see it, which is not at all likely,
needn't Imagine sho is the only pretty
gill in the world. Sho will merely
think that there Is another glil In tho

blance to her, that's all."
"That's all," cchod Johnson.
"! the way," said Tomllnson, "I
was studying that photogiaph as I
caiiio back today, and I could traoo tho
name Alice on the back. It had been
rubbed out, hut It was .still theie. So
her uumc Is Alice, and I think wo may
call this association tho Alice Club."
"Hlghl," said Johnson. "Who'll bo

"With all admiration and dosotlon
for tho beautiful laco I have enclosed
In a golden loi kot and swung by a
pale bluo ilbbon about my swan-IIke
neck," said Tomllnson, ' I 'opes It
won't bo mo."
Tho ganlson at Santa IJHa had little
to do fot tho next few weeks. Then
suddeny the ladiones began to make
lalds on tho villages near by, ami one
night they shot Into a town whole
thtio w.ib a small imilj, of Ami'ilcaii
