Household Remedy
Taken in the Spring for Year*.
Ralph Rust, "Willis, Mich., writes: ,
“Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been a house- I

spring for several years. It has no j
equal for cleansing the blood and ex- |

Open-Air Schools Increasing.
Since January 1, 1907, sixty-flve
open-air schools for children afflicted
with or predisposed to tuberculosis
have been established In twenty-eight
cities, according to an announcement
made by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu
losis. The first open-air school in the
United States was established on Jan
uary 1. 1907, by the board of educa
tion of Providence, R. 1., at the in
stance of Dr. Ellen A. Stone. The
next school was established in
of the same year at Pittsburg, and
the third at Boston in July, 1908. Ac
cording to the reports received by the
National Association, the result of the
open-air class-work has been to re
store most of the children to normal
health and efficiency. One of these
open-air schools or classes should be
established for each 25,000 popula
tlon, especially In cities.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.
When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always
faithful and one should act at once.
To put off the change is to risk thal
which may be irreparable. An Ari
zona man says:
“For years I could not safely eat
any breakfast I tried all kinds ol
breakfast foods, but they were at
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constipating.
"A friend persuaded me to quit cof
fee and the starchy breakfast foods
and use Postum and Grape-Nuts in
stead. I shall never regret taking his
advice.
“The change they have worked ir
me is wonderful. I now have no more
of the distressing sensations In mj
stomach after eating, aiid I never have
any headaches. I gained IS
pounds in weight and better ir,

SYNOPSIS.
Senator John Calhoun is invited to be
come secretary of state in Tyler’s cab
inet. He declares that if he accepts Texas
and Oregon must be added to the Union.
He sends his secretary, Nicholas Trist, to
ask the Bt xoness von Ritz, spy of the
British ambassador, Pakenham. to call at
his apartments. While searching for the
baroness’ home, a carriage drives up and
Nicholas is invited to enter. The occupant
Is the baroness, and she asks Nicholas to
assist in evading pursuers. Nicholas notes
that the baroness lias lost a slipper. She
gives him the remaining slipper as a
pledge that she will tell Calhoun what he
wants to know regarding England's in
tentions toward Mexico. As security
Nicholas gives her a trinket he intended
. for his sweetheart, Elizabeth ClufrchlU.
Tyler tells Pakenham that joint occupa
tion of Oregon with England, must cease,
that the west h» s raised the cry of ''Fif
ty-four Forty, or Fight.” Calhoun be
comes secretary of state. He orders
Nicholas to Montreal on state business,
and tlie latter plans to be married that
night. The baroness says she will try to
prevent the marriage. A drunken con
gressman whom Nicholas asks to assist
In the wedding arrangements, sends the
baroness' slipper to Elizabeth, by mis
take, and the wedding is declared off.
Nicholas finds the baroness in Montreal,
she having succeeded, where he failed, in
discovering England’s intentions regard
ing Oregon. She tells him ttiat the slip
per he had In his possession contained a
note from the attache of Texus to the
British ambassador, saying that if the
United States did not annex Texas with
in 30 days, she would lose both Texas and
Oregon. Nicholas meets a naturalist, Von
Rittenhofen, who gives him Information
about Oregon. Tho baroness and a Britlsti
Warship disappear from Montreal simul
taneously. Calhoun engages Von Ritten
hofen to make maps of the western coun
try.
CHAPTER XX.—Continued.
“I will tell you, Nicholas,” said he at
last, wheeling swiftly upon me. “Start
next week! An army of settlers waits
now for a leader along the Missouri.
Organize them; lead them out! Give
them enthusiasm! Tell them what
Oregon is! You may serve alike our
party and our nation. You cannot
measure the consequences of prompt
action sometimes, done by a man who
Is resolved upon the right. A thou
sand things may hinge on this. A
great future may hinge upon it.”
“While you have been busy, I have
not been idle,” he continued. "I have
dere another little paper which 1 have
roughly drafted.” He handed me the
document as he spoke.
“A treaty—with Texas!” I ex
claimed.
“The first draft, yes. We have
signed the memorandum. We await
only one other signature."
“Of Van Zandt!”
“Yes. Now comes Mr. Nicholas
Trist, with word of a certain woman
to the effect that Mr. Van Zandt is
playing also with England.”
“And that woman also is playing
with England.”
Calhoun smiled enigmatically.
“But she has gone,” said I, “who
j knows where? She, too, may have
sailed for Oregon, for all we know.”
He looked at me as though with a
flash of inspiration. “That may be,”
said he; “it may very well be! That
i would cost us our hold over Paken
| ham. Neither would we have any
| chance left with her.”
“How do you mean, Mr. Calhoun?”
said I. “I do not understand you.”
“Nicholas,” said Mr. Calhoun, “that
j lady was much impressed with you.”
j He regarded me calmly, contempla
| tlvely, appraisingly.
“I do not understand you,” I reiter
ated.
j “I am glad that you do not and
; did not. In that case, all would have
] been over at once. You wduld never
! have seen her a second time. Your
j constancy was our salvation, and per
haps your own! In due time you will
see many things more plainly. Mean
time, be sure England will be careful.
She will make no overt movement, I
should say, until she has heard from
j Oregon; which will not be before my
I lady baroness shall have returned and
! reported to Pakenham here. All of
which means more time for us.”
! I began to see something of the
J structure of bold enterprise which this
| man deliberately was planning; but no
! comment offered itself; so that pres
ently he went on, as though in solilo
quy.
“The Hudson Bay Company have
! deceived England splendidly enough.
| Dr. McLaughlin, good man that he is,
I has not suited the Hudson Bay Com
| pany. His removal means less cour
; tesy to our settlers in Oregon. Granted
a less tactful leader than himself,
‘ there will be friction with our high
strung frontiersmen in that country.
No man can tell when the thing will
come to an issue. For my own part,
I would agree with Polk that we ought
to own that country to fifty-four forty
.-but what we ought to do and what
We can do are two separate matters.
1 Should we force the issue now and
i lose, we would lose for 100 years,
j Should we advance firmly and hold
: firmly what we gain, in perhaps less
• than 100 years we may win all of that
country, as I just said to Mr. Polk,
to the River Saskatchewan—l know
not where! In my own soul, I believe
no man may set a limit to the growth
of the idea of an honest government
by the people. And this continent is
Ineant for that honest government!”
He sighed as he paused in his walk
And turned to me. “But now, as I
|cid, we have at least time for Texas.
Led in regard to Texas we need an
♦fctusr woman.”

I stared at him.
"You come now to me with proof
that my lady baroness traffics with
Mexico as well as England,” he re
sumed. “That is to say, Yturrio
meets my lady baroness. What is the
inference? At least, jealousy on the
part of Yturrio's wife, whether or not
she cares for him! Now, jealousy be
tween the sexes is a deadly weapon if
well handled. Repugnant as it is, we
must handle it.”
I experienced no great enthusiasm
at the trend of events, and Mr. Cal
houn smiled at me cynically as he
went on. "I see you don't care for
this sort of commission. At least,
this is no midnight interview. You
shall call in broad daylight on the
Senora Yturrio. If you and my daugh
ter will take my coach and four to
morrow, I think she will gladly re
ceive your cards. Perhaps also she
will consent to take the air of Wash
ington with you. In that case, she
might drop in here for an ice. In
such case, to conclude, I may perhaps
be favored with an interview with
that lady. I must have Van Zandt’s
signature to this treaty which you
see here!” •
“But these are Mexicans, and Van
Zandt is leader of the Texans, their
most bitter enemies!"
“Precisely. All the less reason why
Senora Yturrio should be suspected.”
“I am not sure that 1 grasp all this,
Mr. Calhoun.”
“Perhaps not. You presently will
know more. What seems to me plain
is that, since we seem to lose a val
uable ally in the Baroness von Ritz,
we must make some offset to that
loss. If England has one woman on
the Columbia, we must have another
on the Rio Grande!”
CHAPTER XXI.
Politics Under Cover.
To a woman, the romances she makes
are more amusing than those she reads.
—Theophlle Gautier.
It seemed quite correct for the
daughter of our secretary of state to
call to inquire for tho health of the
fair Senora Yturrio, and to present
the compliments of Mme. Calhoun, at
that time not in the city of Wash
ington. Matters went so smoothly
that I felt justified in suggesting a lit
tle drive, and Senora Yturrio had no
heshation ir/accepting. Quite natural
ly, our stately progress finally brought
us close to the residence of Miss Cal
houn. That lady suggested that, since
the day was warm, it might be well
to descend and see if we might not
find a sherbet; all of which also
seemed quite to the wish of the lady
from Mexico. The ease and warmth
of Mr. Calhoun's greeting to her were
such that she soon was well at home
and chatting very amiably. She spoke
English with but little hesitancy.
Lucrezia Yturrio, at that time not|ill
known in Washington’s foreign colomy,
was beautiful, in a sensuous, ripe way.
Her hair was di.rk, heavily coiled, and
packed in masses above an oval fq®-
head. Her brows were straight, dark
and delicate; her teeth white and
strong; her lips red and full; her chin
well curved and deep. A round arm
and taper hand controlled a most art
ful fan.
Mr. Calhoun expressed great sur
prise and gratification that mere
chance had enabled him to meet the
“And What Is That, Senor?” 8h» Asked at Length.
wife of a gentleman so distinguished
in the diplomatic service as Senor
Y turrio.
"We are especially glad always to
hear of our friends from the south
west," said he, at last, with a slight
addition of formality in tone and at
titude.
At these words I saw my lady’s eyes
flicker. “It is fate, senor,” said she,
again casting down her eyes, and
spreading out her hands as in resigna
tion, “fate which left Texas and Mex
ico not always one.”
“That may be,” said Mr. Calhoun.
"Perhaps fate, also, that those of kin
should cling together.”
“How can a mere woman know?” My
lady shrugged her very graceful and
beautiful shoulders —somewhat ma
ture shoulders now, but still beauti
ful.
“Dear senora,” said Mr. Calhoun,
“there are so many things a woman
may not know. For Instance, how
could she know if her husband should
perchance leave the legation to which
he was attached and pay a visit to
another nation?”
Again the slight flickering of her
eyes, but again her hands were out
spread in protest.
“How indeed, senor?”
“What if my young aide here, Mr.
Trist, should tell you that he has seen
your husband some hundreds of miles
away and in conference with a lady
supposed to he somewhat friendly to
ward—”
“Ah, you mean that baroness—!”
So soon had the shaft gone home!
Iler woman's jealousy had offered a
point unexpectedly weak. Calhoun
bowed, without a smile upon his face.
“Mr. Pakenham, the British minis
ter, is disposed to be friendly to this
same lady. Your husband and a certain
officer of the British navy called upon
this same lady last week in Montreal
—informally. It is sometimes unfortu
nate that plans are divulged. To me it
seemed only wise and fit that you
should not let any of these little per
sonal matters make for us greater
complications in these perilous times.
I think you understand me, perhaps,
Senora Yturrio?"
She gurgled low in her throat at
this, any sort of sound, meaning to
remain ambiguous. But Calhoun was
merciless.
“It is not wilhin dignity, senora, for
me to make trouble between a lady
and her husband. But we must have
friends with us under our flag, or
know that they are not our friends.
You are welcome in my house. Your
husband is welcome in the hoi»se of
our republic. There are certain du
ties, even thus.”
Only now and again she turned
upon him the light of her splendid
eyes, searching him.
“If I should recall again, gently, my
dea,r senora, the fact that your hus
band was with that particular woman
-rif I should say that Mexico has
been found under the flag of England,
while supposed to be under our flag—
if I should add that one of the repre
sentatives of the Mexican legation
had been discovered in handing over
to England certain secrets of this
country and of the Republic of Texas
—why, then, what answer, think you,
senora, Mexico, would make to me?”
“But Senor Calhoun does not mean
—does not dare to say—”
1^
“I do dare It; I do mean It! I can
tell you all that Mexico plans, and all
that Texas plans. All the secrets ar«
out; and since we know them, we pur
pose immediate annexation of the Re
public of Texas! Though It means
war, Texas shall be ours! This has
been forced upon us by the perfidy oi
other nations.”
“You* seek war, Senor Secretary!
My people say that your armies are
in Texas now, or will be.”
“They are but very slightly in ad
vance of the truth, senora,” said Cal
houn grimly. “For me, I do not be
lieve in war when war can be averted.
But suppose it could be averted? Sup
pose the Senora Yturrio herself could
avert it? Suppose the senora could
remain here still, in this city which
she so much admires? A lady of so
distinguished beauty and charm is
valuable in our society here.”
He bowed to her with stately grace.
If there was mockery in his tone, she
could not catch it ; nor did her search
ing eyes read his meaning.
“See,” he resumed, “alone, I am
helpless in this situation. If my gov
ernment is offended, I cannot stop the
course of events. I am not the sen
ate; I ar' simply an officer in our ad
ministration —a very humble officer of
his excellency our president, Mr.
Tyler.”
My lady broke out in a peal of low
rippling laughter, her white teetn
gleaming. It was, after all, somewhat
difficult to trifle with one who had
been trained in intrigue all her life.
Calhoun laughed now in his own
quiet way. “We shall do better if we
deal entirely frankly, senora,” said he.
“Let us then waste no time. Frankly,
then, it would seem that, now the
Baroness yon Ritz is off the scene, the
Senora Yturrio would have all the bet
ter title and opportunity in the affeo
tlons of —well, let us say, her own
husband!”
She bent toward him now, her lips
open in a slow smile, all her subtle
and dangerous beauty unmasking its
batteries. The impression she con
veyed was that of warmth and of
spotted shadows such as play upon
the leopard’s back, such as mark the
wing of the butterfly, the petal of
some flower born in a land of heat
and passion. But Calhoun regarded
her calmly, his finger tips together,
and spoke as deliberately as though
communing with himself. “It is b;it
one thing, one very little thing.”
“And what is that, senor?” sh»
asked at length.
“The signature of Senor Van Zandt,
attache for Texas, on this memoran
dum of treaty between the United
States and Texas.”
Bowing, he presented to her the
document to which he had earlier di
rected my own attention. “We are
all well advised that Senor Van Zandt
is trafficking this very hour with Eng
land as against us,” he explained. “We
ask the gracious assistance of Senora
Yturrio. In return we promise her—
silence!”
“I can not—it is impossible!” she ex
claimed, as she glanced at the pages.
"It is our ruin—!”
“No, senorg,” said Calhoun sternly;
“it means annexation of Texas to the
United States. But that is not your
ruin. It is your salvation. Your coun
try well may doubt England, even
England bearing gifts!”
“I have no control over Senor Vatl
Zandt —he is the enemy of my coun
try!" she began.
Calhoun now fixed upon her the full
cold blue blaze of his singularly pene
: rating eyes. “No, senora.” he said
ternly; “but you have access to my
Tiend Mr. Polk, and Mr. Polk is the
iriend of Mr. Jackson, and they two
are friends of Mr. Van Zandt; and
Texas supposes that these two, al
though they do not represent precise
ly my own beliefs in politics, are for
the annexation of Texas, not to Eng
land, but to America. There is good
chance Mr. Polk may be president. If
you do not use your personal Influ
ence with him, he may consult politics
and not you, and so declare war
against Mexico. That war would cost,
you Texas, and much more a 3 well.
Now, to avert that war, do you not
think that perhaps you can ask Mr.
Polk to say to Mr. Van Zandt that
his signature on this little treaty
would end all such questions simply,
immediately, and to the best benefit
of Mexico, Texas and the United
States? Treason? Why, senora,
twould be preventing treason!"
