CHAPTER VII! —l3— . ■ J The Bugle of Maracay Emerging again into the sunlight I found the Irish captain still offering sturdy support, to the adobe wall. "Evety time our c lonel wins a battle.” said he, "he thinks he's Alexander." "You speak In parables, Monahan; Pinl falls a deal short of Alexander.” He grinned, and bent his red head to indicate a massive rock house a stone's .hrow to the north of us. "That’s his headquarters—or will be until the Spaniards run us but again. He has lately entered it. with a lady ... a reluctant lady, it's true, hut the manner" of Pin! was gently but fijmly coercive. ‘‘l shall apprise him of dur danger at once; we must re-fotnj. and we tnus£ keep In touch with the main -body of Bolivar's army, else we are lost, for our ammunition—" “Sure." he said. He caught hold of my arm as I turned away. “Is your pistol loaded. Garde’” There was a strange light In hi" blue- eyes, and under his air-of seeming Indifference I read a definite tenseness. ■ "Do 1 require a pistol to approach our colo’hel?" He shrugged. "Go ahead! you went In Caracas without a gun—and out again. This lion's den should he vast--ly simpler. A Providence watches over you.” The heavy wooden door with Its exquisite carvings stood open and as I would have/entered, a sentry put a gun across the doorway. “The colonel has Issued orders that he Is not to be disturbed; will the major wait?” “The major won't; will you tell the colonel— ?” * Fie showed white teeth In a wide grin. "1 cannot; It would be as much as my life Is worth to disturb hitn" While I waited, wondering what should be done, the colonel's tenor, carrying the burden of a caress, came down..the hailway: “Would not the wines of. M«>ntalban care-s thy palate. Bonita'?” 1 failed to catch Bonita's reply, but ft Was hot acquiescence. for» the col* oriel spoke again: “When the Spaniards take a city.

In truth!" Mid. 1, laughing. “But do you not know, my colonel. that: the taking of Maracay has cost us over a hundred men* We would hasten.” ; She looked nt me in amazement, resentment tn the deep blue eyes, and I thought, an expression of pleading also. “Aye." Pin! agreed, “a hundred men Indeed—but It's worth It; the Senorita worth two hundred." I think the garrulous colonel had partaken too freely of’the wines of Mvntalban. "Yet there is-much to do.” “Did AMU Bolivar say ty fake the city, and have I not done so?" “Yes. but General Bolivar also said to hold it Do you not know, my colonel. that half our Indian soldiers, having fired away their remaining ammunition in celebration of our victory, have discarded their guns, assuming them—empty—to oe of no further use?" He laughed. “A misfortune, but nothing tragic; It has ever been habit of the stupid savages. A thing to be discounted as Inevitable.” “And,” I continued; "that the forces of I’aex and Plaza have fallen back before the Spaniards, freeing the two wings that may now close in upon us; that If we do not more swiftly our lines of communication with Bolivar’s army will be broken, so that, half accoutered and without ammunition, we •will be lost?” "How gloomy a tale do you bring tne io this, the hour! of my happiness.” His acquisitive eyes took in the slim beauty of the Sedorlta. and 1 could have throttled him for the evil tn his look. “Does your American cowardice come to the fore at such a time as this; do you Dot realise that, of the entire line of attack, only we have broken through?” "Aye, and 1 realize also that the Spaniard will close In behind us. And this American cowardice of mine,

Senor, does not presume to celebrate a half-victory with drunkenness and other unseemly conduct." Pin! brought the pistol to bear upoh me. "Do you speak thus to me, youir ‘colonel, your commanding officer?” “Under similar J/onditlons, my colonel; I would speak so to Bolivar himself, hail he fallen Bo low; a thing 1 cannot Imagine, fog, of all our officers, I think Colonel Pint is the only man who might have planned an act ao vile." Madness? Aye. a veritable madness; yet his eyes had offered Insult to the Senorita. and I worshiped her. “Ah, Loren." she cried, fear in her voice—and love, I think, as welt “How vast a blunder.

Medieval Dishes That Called for Condiments

An Important reason for the apparent vast thirst of the English of medieval times, William Bdward Mead explains, in his volume, “The English .Medieval is found in the dishes common jto their tables, wherein condimetits and spices played a major part. Loaded with pepper, Cubebs, • maee, saffron, cloves, ginger, cinnamon. nutmeg, galingale. cummin, licorice, aniseed, and other tart ingredients. they were prone to Inspire the ‘consumer to frequent draughts from the ale keg or beer mug. I 'Here again the element of necessity entered. For, the author points out. fasidon had in reality little to do with the extensive use of these elements. Our ancestors, by reminds us, had nor yet begun to breed beasts and poultry for the table, except that the value of the capon was retnemi»ered from former days. Mutton was api to be stringy, beef tough: and men made use <>f fobd from M’tirces that today would be avoided with a shudder.

r. ; —— — ——f Moorish Castles Where the Moors built castles and palaces you will detect signs that they were originally tent dwellers. The Moorish patio is a cozy representation of an oasis; the gurgling fountain in the Spanish courtyard to this very day still gratifies the desert dream of cool springs; the garden, represented by the contents of the flower pots. Is a portable garden. The tent dweller packs np his home and all his luxuries so that he can load them on asses; that is why his home is made of textiles and bis luxuries are of filigree His tent is his castle; it is garnished with every pomp and splendor, but it is a pomp which a man can carry on his back; it. is woven and embroidered and stitched with goat’s or lamb’s wool, and Moorish architecture has retained the delicate beauty and surface appeal of a woven fabric. —Manchester (England) Guardiar

Dulce, my own, how a craven dies?** “No, Loren, no; It Is murder! If you love me, dear heart, you will not do it!" “But he offered insult to thee . . . shall I not kill him for that, does be not deserve—?” “Listen, Loren, do you not hear, it?" Now there came to us the clear high notes of a bugle, a penetrating, electric summons. I guess I am, and have always, been, first a soldier, for that call to arms cleansed my mind of hatred and found a soldier's ready acquiescence in my heart. Colonel Pinl, freed at last, staggered to the table and braced his swaying body with his hands, "You will pay for this, Senor.” he rasped through a tortured throa'U ’ Wild yells followed the call of the bugle, and intermittent thudding of guns, then an orderly fusillade. I knew that the Spaniards, having reformed behind usto cut us off, were investing the city. "I expect to pay. colonel, and you will doubtless pny when Bolivar hears o how you have thrqwn away tfie fruits of a dearly bought victory.” “After this skirmish." he said, moving unsteadily toward the wreckage of the doorway, "there will be a court.” : "I. shall be ready, my colonel." • •. • • • • • “Ah, lx>ren. that you should have found me thus!" “I am thankful that I was able to find you at nil."

He suggests that the words "or other animal” should be read as in connection with a horse, and that the act did not apply to dogs.

Lesson for July 3 CHILDHOOD AND EDUCATION OF MOSES LESSON TEXT—Exodus Acts 1:20-22. GOLDEN TEXT—Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old. he will not depart from it. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Baby Moses. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Slavs Boy Rescued by a Princess. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Preparing for Life’s Work. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Influence of a Godly Home. 1. Moses' Parentage (v. I). Both father and mother were of Levltlcal stock. Being from the same tribe, they had a common bond of interest and sympathy. Arnram had the good judgment to choose for a wife a woman who possessed sympathies and ambitions in harmony with his own. 11. Moses’ Birth (v. 2). Two children. Aaron and Miriam, were born to Arnram, and Jochebed before Moses. However, Moses was the first one that his mojlier was assured was to be the deliverer of the chosen people. There*"Yas something striking about this child which caused her to believe that it was sent of God. She saw that tie was a “goodly child." In Stephen s speech (Acts 7:20) he asserts that the child was "exceeding fair.” No doubt his mother believed him to be the deliverer of his people and Instilled that truth in his mind from chiidbood. Because of this belief. she had confidence that somehow God would save him from the cruel decree of the king. HI. Moses’ Preservation (vv. 3-8). Though Pharaoh’s edict was in force Jochebed's faith Was such as to cause her to ignore it and hide Moses for three months. The biding of the child was not because of fear, but because of faith (Heb.i 11:23). It was her faith that , made her brave to ignore the king's order. The unfailing antidote for human fear, is a vital faith In the living God (I’s. 27:1). 1. Placed in an ask (v. 3). Perhaps the story of how Noah and his family were saved .in the ark suggested to his mother the expedient used, namely, tlip ark of bulrushes. 2. Ark placed in the flags by the river (v. 3). Doubtless she was familiar with the place where Pharaoh’s daughter came to bathe. She placed the ark at th.e particular place where it would -attract; attention. 3. Miriam watching (v. 4). She was, no doubt, stationed here by her mother. It is interesting to note the steps, as pointed out jjy another, by which God's plan was carried out: a. A mother’s! wit (vv. 3, Z J. She devised the ark arid placed tie baby in it at the proper place and at the opportune time.! She also instructed Miriam as to.her action. b. A woman’s curiosity (v. 5). The strange object ainong the flags attracted the attention, of Pharaoh's daughter, and 'she directed her maids to bring it to tier. c,* A woman s compassion (v, r 6). When the ark was brought and opened, the fiijby wept. -Tlie true woman is always moved-with compassion at the cry df a lonely, motherless baby. . ■■■♦ (I. A baby’s tears (v. 6). The tears of .Moses aroused the womanly instinct of Pharaoh’s daughter and she was therefore susceptible to the .suggestion as to the care of the baby. e. A faithful sister (v. 7). Miriam’s question was in the form of a suggestion as to a nurse for the baby from among the ilelirpw woman. This suggestion met a willing response and Miriam called the child’s mother. In the providence' of God we see that Jochebed was hired to h-tfrse her own child. The best nurse possible for a child is its own mother. IV. Moses’ Education (vv. 9, 10, cfActs 7:29-22). ' 1. At his mother’s knee (v. 9). We thus see his education began at the proper time and at the proper place. It was during this period that ’ his Character took ■form. Here his mind was tilled .with the Word of God and he was made acquainted with the Jewish nopes and prospects. In these early years, no doubt, the indomitable purpose was fixed, to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season (Heb. 11:24-26). 2. Adopted by .Pharaoh’s daughter (v. 10). At the proper time Moses was brought unto Pf«ira<>h s daughter and adopted a? her son. She called him "Moses." which means “drawn out,” "because.” said she. “I drew hitn out of the water.” 3. Educated in the Egyptian court (v. IV); It was here that he became acquainted with the wt>dotn of the Egyptians (Acts 7:29 22). This was of great importance, it peculiarly qualified him to be rhe law giver and the historian of his people.

DOUBT CAST UPON HISTORIC LEGEND Washington Elm Story Held Mere Tradition. A bulletin of the Arnold Arboretum casts doubt upon the legend that the so-called Washington elm, which until 1926. stdod on Cambridge COmmon. cast Its shade upon George Washington when, on July 3, 1775, he took over from Gen. Artemiis Ward the command of the Colonial forces; but especially it declares that the numerous cuttings which have .been distributed as direct descendants of the tree are of dubious incest ry. The tradition about the free unfortunately rests upon no trustworthy, indisputable evidence, and it has been discreditel because a document called "The Diary of Dorothy Dudley,” published in 1875, which purported to give the testimony of an eye-witness to 4he event, proved to be a literary forgery. When the tree fell in 1926 it was estimated that in 1775 “the tree was only six-ty-two years old and less than 28 inches in diameter,” and therefore was not so conspicuous as to be singled out as the background of the historic scene. The fact is that nobody who took part in the ceremony ippreciated its significance. The exchange of commands was effected with the utmost simplicity, with no prophetic sense of its Importance in eyes of posterity. All that can be affirmed positively of the Washington elm is that It stood at or near ’.he spot where Washington became he military leader of the army of he Revolution. It may or may not ave been the identical tree.

In these matters, however, we cannot altogether .reject a tradition handed down from 1 sire to son. Edward Everett Hale, among many others, accepted the story of the .Washington elm as authentic history and his belief in it went back to 1830 or beyond. He probably had it from his parents or with whom it Was no doubt a treasured .anecdote, for Edward Everett’s greatuncle, Nathan Hale, the Revolutionary patriot, was stationed with his regiment at Cambridge in September, 1775, within three months of the time that Washington assumed command. It is not at all unlikely, then, that this ardent young soldier, was one of the sponsors for tiie story—told it to members Os his family as a fact, during the few brief months that remained to him of life.—Boston Transcript.
