The Hare laughed scornfully, but seeing a chance for some easy money, accepted the challenge. The Tortoise tipped all his friends off to bet on him, as he had a lead-pipe cinch. "I know I'm not much of a runner." he said, "but that Rabbit feels so dog-goned confident that he'll lie down and take a nap when the race is about half over, and while he's sleeping I'll win in a walk." Sure enough, when the Tace started the Hare got away like a flash, leaving the Tortoise way behind, but when he was a few yards from the finish line he lay down and composed himself for a quiet snooze. The Tortoise kept plugging along and in the course of an hour or two passed his sleeping opponent and began to draw near the goal. When he was about two feet from the line the Tortoise was startled by the loud ringing of a bell.

Looking over his shoulder, he saw the Hare Jump to bis feet, aroused by the alarm clock which he had been careful enough to place beside him when he went to sleep. Two seends later the race was decided in favor of the Hare. MORAL It's all right to sleep, if you only wake up in time.

He took the commandante aside and whispered, rather louder than he would had he known how well both Ines and I knew Spanish. I caught enough to size up the situation a prisoner had snitched on us.

"In slangy English, I told Bill what was on and what to do. I watched my chance. I knew they didn't intend to do anything till they got back in the commandante's room and could summon a. corporal's guard. Finally, the alcalde unlocked and opened the door to the corridor' With one sweep of my arm, I shoved Miss Balmaceda out.

Bill gave the alcalde a kick in the stomach that doubled him up, and before the commandante had grasped the situation, both of us were out in the corridor, ana had slammed the outer door to and shot the big bolt. "Then we Just flew. As we shot through the commandante'a room, I grabbed a revolver that was hanging from a chair back In its holster. "As we dashed out into the passageway between the main entrance and the courtyard we could hear the shouts of the commandante back in the building calling the guard, but before the sentry had sensed anything out of the ordinary, I had the commandante's gun under his nose. And, while I held him up.

Bill slammed to the courtyard gate and barred it. Then he and Inea got busy slipped the breech blocks out of the Mauser rifles in the rack in the guardroom, and stuffed them into our pockets. We had Just finished that Job when the first soldiers In the barracks to respond to the commandante's shouts were shaking the inside gate, trying to get out into the passageway. "Three minutes later the three of us, with the frightened sentry in tow, were down on the decks of the Zafiro and tha crew were rushing back and forth cutting mooring lines with axes. And In about 12 minutes from the time we slammed the door on the commandante we were steaming out of the mouth of the harbor.

By that time, I guess they had forced the gate to the courtyard, for we saw figures scurrying down the pathway to the Jetty. But not one shot could they fire with their breechblocks scattered all over our decks."

"Meanwhile, we sized up the situation. There was the big, square prison 200 feet above, up the side of a steep bluff. And what we had figured on happened. The commandante sent an invitation to the English travelers to visit him at his quarters after the siesta.

Of course, the siesta had barely begun, but we, as foreigners, weren't supposed to know that, and, anyway, we were going to explain that we were sailing YOU will not find Portsmouth Peters listed In "Who's Who," even under his proper name, which I know but may not tell, but to this day his lame iurvives In all those places In the world where seamen gather. His first leap into the dazzling publicity which illuminated his later career was simultaneous with his lodgment In Honolulu Jail, after he had engaged the combined forces of the Royal Hawaiian Nary and Revenue Service in a three-hours' pitched battle, single handed, while his four comrades lugged 2000 flve-tael tins of opium, which they had Just landed below the Pall, out of danger of confiscation. Next he bobbed up on tha Russian frontier of Mongolia. lead-Ins a raid of Manchu brigands on the penal settlement of Akatou.

The result fit this exploit was the liberation of half a dozen noted political prisoners whose loss so incensed the Czar's Government that for months two brigades of Cossacks hovered along the Chinese frontier, threatening international complications. When I first knew Peters, in Hongkong, he had settled down to the comparatively obscure, though lucrative occupation of filibustering military supplies over to the Island of Luzon for the Filipino revolutionary Junta. He was then Just the sort of pictnresque figure that would catoh a woman's eye; barely an inch under six feet, agile as well as powerful ef build, deep-set eyes that were Bometimes green, and a chestnut-brown hair that harmonized well with his suntanned, tawny complex-Ion. BUT all that is material for other narratives. This has to do with the San Ramon affair, the Spanish version of which appeared in the press dispatches at the time undoubtedly Portsmouth Peters moit remarkable, though least known exploitr and his last For he told it to me, parts of it repeatedly, in rambling bits, as we paced the decks of the old transport Zealandia under the brilliant tropical starlight, on our homeward passage from Manila to San Francisco.

Any history will give you the introduction to Peters' story. Look up the treaty of Blancabato. According to this agreement, the lnsurrectos laid down their arms while the Spanish Governor-General, on his part, promised certain vital reforms, safe-conduct passes for all the leaders to Hongkong and a payment of half a million Mexican pesos to the Junta for the relief of the widows and orphans of the fallen lnsurrectos. "I do believe," said Peters, "that the Governor-General acted in personal good faith, for ho actually did pay down one-half of the stipulated sum to Dr. Carrera, the representative of the junta in Manila.

With evident forebodings of what might happen and did happen, tha doctor Immediately went to the Manila branch of the British Colonial Bank of Hongkong, and deposited the whole sum in his own name. It was well that he did, for meanwhile a cable had come from Madrid, countermanding all the Governor-General's agreements. That same night Carrera was arrested. But the gold was in the British bank, under the British flag. "First, they tried promises, and then they threatened, but all the means they reaorted to, which included torture, I believe, could not make the little doctor ign his name to the blank check they held under his nose.

Well, they gave It up, but at any rate they meant to that he didn't sign any checks for the other side, so they sent him down to the penal settlement in the Island of fan Ramon, and locked him up "incom-niunlcado." At this point there was an invariable jreak in Peters' narrative.

Up to this point he told me the story repeatedly, in fullest detail. But the sequel he only told me once. "Yes," he said then, very quietly, "we met her about 10 miles away from the mouth of the harbor. The Sirango, I believes it was one of their swiftest gun Chapter I. THE day Robert Harding and Jane Lawrence were married was perfect.

"Happy is the bride the sun shines on," quoted Robert as he took her into his arms. But Jane had no sense of atmosphere or of the calm beauty of the day. Ehe bad married Robert partly because he was the most attractive, the most eligible of all the young men she knew, and partly to escape from the new stepmother her father had Just presented to the family. Jane, an only daughter, had taught school since her mother's death two years before. Her father had demurred, but she had declared ehe would rather teach and pay a maid than to do the housework herself.

The consequence was that when she married Robert she knew absolutely nothing of home making. Westland, the suburb where Robert had decided to live, was a pleasant enough place, but Jane had rebelled from the first. "I thought we were going to live in New Tork, not in a poky little one-horse town like this!" she grumbled. "I'm sure you could have managed It If you had tried." A shade of impatience crossed Robert's face but was gone in a moment. He had rented a house set quite a way back from the street, with two towering trees, sentinel like, guarding the front door.

Discontent From the Start. ROBERT was sure he had Bent on all the necessary furniture to make the house comfortable, but when Jane saw the unhomelike, barren Interior; the chairs set primly against the wall, and the ugly green shades at the windows unrelieved by any draperies, she wondered dully how she would be able to stand it; and which was the most depressing, the outside or IMary ward no children were born, but to Daniel Stover and "I have explained several times that ments of her illustrious son.

Historic Watauga Valley. IT seems a little lingular that the life of Andrew Johnson in a way should be interwoven with the name of Lincoln, whom he succeeded as President of the United States.

Dan Stover, the great-nephew of Isaac Lincoln.

There Is no spot on American soil more historic than the Watauga Valley. It was here that the Wataun Association set up the first free and independent government upon the continent. It was here that King's Mountain boys gathered from the valleys and hills to go and fight one of the decisive battles of the American revolution. If tradition be true, it was here that the father of Abraham Lincoln first met Nancy Hanks. It was here that Andrew Johnson died.

Christian Carriger, who was well-to-do and did not need them. She gave all her remaining property to her nephew. William Stover (son of her sister, Phoebe Ward and Daniel Stover), when poor Abe was so very poor and needy. Would it not have changed the history of these United States If Abraham Lincoln had only received what was bequeathed to William Stover? Perhaps Abraham Lincoln was predestined to be poor, as was his father before him.
