Y. (which I followed

my life when I was a

terribly emaciated but my body was a

tvhh in bed for more than six months and
all hope for my recovery had hecn given

Ur. Pierce’s Invalids' Hotel In Buffalo,
■where they not only manufactured some
wonderful remedies but also gave advice
tfree. so he wrote for advice, «nd in a very
wbort time we were very thankful that he
did, because the first half bottle of 'Golden
Medical Discovery' helped me so milch
that 1 was able to raise my head from the

to heal and I knew that 1 had started on
the right track.
"It took five years to bring me back to

'Pleasant Pellets' -with the approval of
my doctor all the time. This was forty

health. I have never had any sign of a
blood disorder since or any aliment due to
impurity left in my system, and I feel
quite confident in recommending Dr.

The TWICE AMERICAN
; I Ry ELEANOR M. INGRAM
I Unquestionably, tbe press was
Noel’s. The German group pos
sessed a journal of their own.
Noel possessed the journals of
the state; not by bribery or own
ership. but by their honest con
victions. The great difficulty
was with the passivists, the
great umvieldly mass of people
who agreed with his principles,
but wished to take no action. The
indolent and the indiilerent
joined with the timid; and unin
tentionally aided tin* Germans.
A month after Noel’s return,
the historic scene in the Senate
took plac. Jacinto Meyer's
speech was a plea for neutrality
and a savage personal attack on
Noel: ‘'the aljen who would sell
our republic to his." as be called
bim.
When Meyer concluded, the
members were in a tumult. Quiet
could not he fully restored, until
Noel arose to answer bis enemy.
Tim address that followed goes
down among a people as the
speech of the two Americas. Noel
made that union bis theme. Nat
ural orator. In* forever took his
place in history in an hour of
words that grooved like chisels
into.stone. He lifted his hearers
far beyond the petty rivalry, ami
from the heights made them look
afar, lie uncovered his own work
of years, not in pride, but in ex
ample.
He concluded almost in the
words spoken at that dinner in
bis villa, a year and a half be
fore.
"I have been called an 'alien
today,’’ bis voice swept the in
tent auditors. “My countrymen,
I am twice an American: North
American and South American,
and as I am loyal to both, so
judge me that God who taught
the first republican religion
nearly 2,000 years ago."
No rules of etiquet or prece
dent held. Ilia companions flowed
around him, grasping bis band.
The cheering in the chamber
echoed to the street beyond.
Nile Valdez, tears pouring down
bis face, came running down the
aisle and sprang upon the steps,
facing the hall.
‘‘Untie live tin* two Amec
icas!” he shouted above the up
roar. “Long live the Twice
Ameriean!”
Tlie cry was caught up. It
filled the hall and flowed into the
street where the crowds in their
turn seized and repeated it. In
an hour the extras were on the
street, and David Noel was
known for all time as tin* Twice
American.
In two hours the extras were
out anew and the public had a
new sensation. David Noel of
fered his resignation to the Sen
ate and announced his intention
of not voting on the question be
fore the house. lie had been
called an alien. He left the others
to decide that, and the war, with
out. his pressure; without even
the pressure of his presence.
He retired to his house in the
mountains, to wait.
It was a daring play, carefully
calculated in advance. Noel had
foreseen that allatck of Meyer’s
and planned his. In that speech
he had reached the climax of his
power and his work. Now, a
figure standing in solitary promi
nence on that pinnacle of
achievement, he held himself
still and aloof. He knew that a
stntue is not a statue if it. moves.
He left the rest, of the battle to
his friends. Valdez, Nilo, Gran
ados, the host of his supporters
rallied and toiled.
Alone, Noel drove through the
gate of the little shoes, as the
promise of dawn flared across
the east.. The silent garden, cool
and fresh, breathed on the man
who came from the forum and
the streets- His face still held
the heat of action, while his
nerves quivered with its excite
ment and pride. Ilis hands ached
from the pressure of ardent
hands, his ears rang with his
name on the lips of thousands.
He was no superman; every
fibre of him answered to that
adulation. He knew the gaze of
the world would turn upon him
for that moment which is fame;
the fighting nations would pause
to look toward the man who
fought to range his nation beside
them.
If he won! What if he lost?
Honor, surely, honor would re
main his! Honorable—obscurity.
I The gardens looked dull. The
, pergola glimmered ghostly as a
- mausoleum through the dust. A
[ chill settled through Noel. Was
r it a good omen, this lonely return
: to the house which exemplified
22
J tlie building of bis life! lie bad
j lost Constance of the Little
Shoes. What if he lost Rosalind?
What if his career had fallen
down to wreckage here where it
was built, and be stood on the
threshold of defeat and retire
ment
It. was the natural reaction
from the tremendous effort of
his day and night. He was ex
hausted, and too fevered to real
ize his fatigue. A thousand
doubts assailed him. What if he
had risked too much in leaving
the harvest of his work to his
lieutenants? The coup was dra
matic, yet his withdrawal might
be a fatal error. The elder Yal
dez was hampered by his official
position, (Iranudos was too hot
and Ferrnz too sluggish. Nilo
Valdez was none of these things,
but he was a hoy among men
who might not heed him.
The motor car rolled under the
porle eochere. Benito opened the
door of the car for his master,
and Noel stepped out.
A white figure appeared in ’he
doorway of the villa. Noel,
wrapped in confused thought,
halted. For one moment, he was
so forgetful as to fancy this was
Corey Bruce come out to wel
come him. lie actually saw the
stooping figure of the young en
gineer, the honest brown eyes
alight behind the spectacles, h ’
actually waited for the pleasant,
stammering speech- Then the
steward Pedro had run down the
steps and kissed the hand invol
untarily extended to a man who
was not there.
*******
Tbo following day of tumult
and bitter struggle, when the
people through the streets of the
city in endless procession, when
presses toiled, messages flashed,
and the states turned to look at
this one of their sisterhood, that
dav passed montonously at Villa
Noel.
It was no mere pretense with
drawal that David Noel had
made; no ostensible retirement
while he secretly directed his
forces from his shelter. He
played no trickery; perhaps
from wisdom, perhaps from
pride. Ilis work was carried to
its uttermost; the course for his
men planned. His address had
been the final effort. Now, he
waited.
He waited, but he cpuld not
rest, lie bathed, breakfasted,
and dressed carefully. He
strolled through his garden and
listened to the report of his
household on the events of his
absence. He looked as quiet, as
the pools of white and purple
lilies. But he heard the extras
cried in the streets miles away.
He saw Jacinto' Meyer hurrying
from man to man, prompting, ly
ing, scheming. He could not ever
force his mind to dwell upon
Rosalind. That was not roman
tic, but it was so.
He was resolved that he would
not live under the rule of Meyer’s
people. If lie lost here, he would
lose utterly. He would transfer
his fortune to the country of his
birth. The House of the Little
Shoes would be left to moulder,
abandoned. Why not, since P
would be a monument of failure;
failure in his chosen work, fail
lire in his dream of the giver of
the shoes as his wife.
Noon passed- Afternoon!
It was with deliberation that
Noel had refused to have a com
panion during this day. He fore
saw what its strain would be, and
he wanted no witnesses to mark
its effect upon him. Not even,
friends!
Yet he played out his role of
contained calmness, as though
an audience looked on and the
villa was a stage. He smoked
tasteless tobacco, he turned the
pages of unread books. He called
in Pedro and questioned him in
detail about Corey Bruce’s dis
appearance and incidents of
Granados’ illness.
Pedro could tell little of value,
beyond what Granados had al
ready related. The Senlior Bruce
had seemed much troubled over
the accident to the Senlior Mar
shal. The last evening, he i.ad
dismissed the doctor and sent for
another. Yes, the Dr. Santos had
seemed discomposed, and the
Senlior Brace also, and the
not dined that day.
“Not dined,” Noel echoed,
struck by this as the first even
slight break in the routine of
Bruce's days; at least the first
of which lie had learned. Pedro
bowed assent, adding encouraged
by his master’s attention, that
the fact was (he more strange be
cause the Senlior Bruce had been
out riding for a day and a night,
and must have had much hunger.
Yet instead of resting and eat
ing, he had hurried into the li
j brary to write. He bad not even
i changed his garments, which
j were soiled by dust and travel.
■ That was about half past eight
j o’clock. At half past nine when!
i Pedro passed through the hal'.j
the door to the library was |
closed. Noel meditated, his dark
brows knitting; and finally
asked what Bruce was writing,
if he had left nothing on desk or j
table. Pedro could answer that!
confidently. There had been noj
writing, no papers visible in the j
library when he and the servants j
entered next morning. All vas j
I in order. The Senlior must have ;
put away his writing before he
; left, or had taken it with him
No, no one had seen him leave.
He must have walked, since no!
j horse or automobile had b->en
taken out. Visitors? There vers
always visitors to the Casa Noel;
but none that evening. It was
true, a gardener said that he had
seen a ear drive in the gate of
the Little Shoes, but lie was
wrong, for none bad come to the
house. And the lights of the car
| must have been seen.
Noel did not suggest the prob
ability of a car without lights, lu
stead, he asked where Bruce had
j ridden for a day and a night.
: Two days, Pedro ventured to
! correct. He did not know where
| the Senlior had gone. To the city,
j everyone supposed. Where else >
Where else? Noel saw the key
! to the riddle in that sentence. He
knew better than Gil Granados
did how the sensitive, shy Bruce
had disliked the city where he
felt, himself alone. Only necessity
would have drawn him there.
And why ride? The garage held
cars at his disposal which would
have accomplished the trip in
less time anti brought him back
the sooner to the injured man
1 for whom ho had shown such
! solicitude. Or there was always
the railroad down the mountain.
He had visited none of those men
in the capital whom lie had met
as Noel's associates; Noel hid
not been too preoccupied to in
quire of each of his friends when
they had last seen his foreign
secretary.
There was one informant who
1 rarely failed. Noel summoned
I Benito.
“Benito, I wish to know where
the Senhor Bruce rode on his last
two days here,” he told the In
dian.
Benito looked at his master
out of jet polished eyes. He had
liked the red haired American
whom he brought from Rio Xa
buco, he had felt protectively for
him, as for a protege- Of course
he had heard the disappearance
discussed among his fellow ser
vants. He needed no explanation
now from Noel.
“They have ears like a deaf
cat which is very old,” he apos
trophized his fellow servants.
“Their thoughts are thick like
the mud beneath a river, wherein
their heads burrow and see not.
If I had been here, my master,
the white man with the fiery hair
would not have gone that way.”
He made no promises, but Noel
knew how well he would serve
and how eager the service.
The investigation had done
Noel good. In thinking of Corey
Bruce he had rested from thought
of himself. Also, it had passed
time. The afternoon was there
He passed to that veranda room
he most approved for his leisure
hours and sat down, extending
himself in a long chair, and t .ole
from the tray he was presented
one of those delicious concoc
tions of fruit juices for which he
had vainly thirsted in New York.
Drinking, lie remembered the
sour orange juice Rosalind had
rfit P iv.Dad71y,fl 2
coveted. When he brought her
here— ,. ,
If Jacinto Meyer won then
duel, Rosalind would never come
here. Noel had thrown the house
of the iLttle Shoes into the bal
ance where he had flung in every
ambition of his life, to keep the
Americas one.
At evening a motor car sped
out of the belt of forest a quarter
of a mile away. It took the curve
of the drive at a furious pace,
darting toward the villa like a
huge insect. Noel recognized the
grey body and the yellow wheels
flaring in the last rays of the sun.
The messenger of failure or vic
tory arrived. The car brought
Nilo.
Noel would not rise or go to
meet him. He waited with that
perfection of stillness Corey
Bruce had admired, his eigar be
tween his fingers, his eyes fixed
on the blue bay far below- The
car darted out of sight around
the bend in the garden. Pres
i ently he heard it stop under the
| porte cocliere. Someone was
running across the hall, wa; at
the threshold.
Nilo Valdez was in the door
way, dishevelled, dust powdered,
quivering like a girl, and like a
girl savoring liis dramatic mo
ment.
“Dom David,” lie spoke form
ally, “I am to announce that we
will be allies of the United States
of America. Your resignation is
refused. You are recalled to the
chamber. Viva las dos Amer
icas!”
Noel rose, then. But before he
j could speak, Nilo had dropped
pretense and sprung across the
veranda to grasp his hand.
“1 congratulate you! I con
j gratulato the state! It is a vic
tory at every point. Your speech,
i your speech—I have no words!
It was flame in a forest, it was
j flame in a forest, it was magnifi-'
I cent, it was sublime- Menlior,
! you are immortal! The Twice
American will he a war cry. You
arc an idol!' ’
“Nilo, it is my good friends
who have worked.”
Nilo Valdez threw back his
J head, laughing denial, llis face
was sallow with fatigue, his eyes
dark circled, hut lie radiated tri
umph.
“Oh, we have worked! But
j it was you- -and your name.
| Setihor Ferraz spoke in tin* cham
ber, after you had gone. You had
inspired him. He thundered, yes,
Senhor, lie was superb. And the
j good Marshal Granados; he
I cried for freedom from the Ger
mans, yes, he addressed ihe
crowd from the steps of the pa la
eio. What a night! What a day'
Mv father shall tell you yet more
But you are named forever,. Dom
David, the Twice American! <>h.
if Corey were but here! 1 have
come ahead; others follow to take
you back to the city. Prepur ■ to
meet an ovation.”
“And yourself, Nilo? You are
worn out. You will rest.”
“Res?” repudiated Nilo Val
dez. “Amidst this? 1 can
rest all my life. Dom David, do
you not, realize what this is? Do
you not?”
David Npcl looked across the
deep gardens to the sea. The
savor of triumph was his in
deed.
“Yes,” he answered quietly.
“I think that I realize, Nilo.”
When all was moving smooth
ly, he would go hack for Rosa
lind Arloff. He would bring her
here, and she should learn what
it meant to be the wife of David
Noel. Even the royal Constance
might have been proud to Come
home to this. How much more,
the dancing girl! He did not
honor Rosalind the less; because
she had not known luxury ii‘ci
high place, lmt it pleased him to
give these to her. Would it
please her to be the wife of Hie
Twice American, he wondered?
A second automobile darted
out of the forest belt. The depu
tation had come to recall Dom
David.
CHAPTER XXI.
The Man Who Was Lost
There was no corner of the
great republic so remote as not
to thrill to the agitation at the
country’s heart. Tropical veins
boiled with the ferver of patriot
ism. Marshal Granados and his
men had anti-German riots wrath
to quell, in those first days.
Men thought of the imperial
schemes as of a danger escaped,
a foul growth that had been ris
ing among them unperceived.
It was not possible that the
village of Rio Nabuco should
escape the contagion. Still less
was it possible that the few pris
oners of Rio Nabuco should not
hear all the village heard.
