"Very well wo must wntch them. If

Peter promised obedience ; nnd in a few
moments more the two Indians turned
into a narrow alloy. AH Clarence passed
( the entrance he saw thutjthoy hnd stop

OIIAPTHU XVX.
I . At IcoRth , us April opened with Its
( winner breath , Scott sent forth the order
for which the braru troops hnd been HO
impatiently waiting , nnd the city was
ulivo with the tramp of nrmed men nnd
the notes of martial music. The Ameri
can unity , not much over ten thousand
, trong , wore starting' for the very center
of n trout nation. They wore to meet
and encounter one of the most bold and
experienced generals of the age , ut the
jlieitd of troops nearly double their own
l&umber , but they quailed not. The very
spirit thnt animated them was ns a dou
ble belt to each particular man , and they
.went . boldly , confidently , upon their wuy.
lln their loader they saw n man In whose
iiiklll and judgment they could fully rely ,
nud while he looked duuutlohsly on they
feared not to follow. '
First on the way came the stern nnd
rugged pubs of Corro Uordo , where the
Mo.\ican army , under Santa Ana In per-
ton , was drawn up to dispute the pun-
nage of our troops. Nature hud fortified
ilt. On one hand dashed a torrent down
ithrun U u deep ravine , und upon the oth
er arose the abrupt itud seemingly im-
. .pnssablemoiintuin. . Hut the Mont place
fell before the Iron crush of Ynitkeu
, teol , and the doughty Mexican lied like
* frightened ehild. The Cerro was pass-
* d , und with souls burning for unother
imeetlng Qttr Hoops pushed on.
fJen.Vortli moved on in advunce to
wards I'ueblit , and met the enemy at
Amoioiiuo. After u sharp conllict he
routed them completely , und when he
reached Puchln that city surrendered
without rchistnuco , and shortly afterward
Scott joined him there. The heart of
Clarence ttnnU when he learned that the
army were likely to t'omnin at I'uetila for
omo Unit : . 4 < egotlutluus wore to be open
ed between the two countries , and hence
active hostilities ceased for the while.
At first the impatient youth held the
thought of pushing on alone , but it was
i wild , fugitive thought , and he quickly
' came buck to reason.
One day , while Clarence was sitting
Blotto in one of the apartments of the
house where lie had taken up his quar
ters , his boy Peter entered with a look
( of more than ordinary import upon his
countenance.
" \Vhut Is it ? " usked our hero , us he
policed Peter looking around us though
ito ns-sure himself that no one else was
present.
"
' 'Don't you reineinber those two In
dians that you pointed out to me at
Veru CrussV" the boy returned.
"Ay certainly , " replied Clarence , eag
erly.
"Well , they are here in Puobla. 1'hnvo
BOOH them to-day. "
"Then be on the lookout for them. I
wish but It may not be too late now.
You can load mo to the spot whore jou
aw them ? "
"Yes , sir. It was not far from hero. "
"Then come ! " cried Claroneo , seizing
lib hat nnd sword , und slipping his u-
volver Into his boom. "By my soul , I'll
arrest them If 1 see thorn ; and then we'll
find out who tlioy are. "
So Clarence and his boy went out but
though they searched for a long while ,
yet they could hoe nothing of the two
Indians. The captain felt very Hiiro that
tls boy was mistaken , but Peter was so
prompt nnd enorgetlc In his assurance
that he could not dispute him. However ,
be felt sure of one thine ; if the two To-

Immediately afteiuntds followed the

the twelfth nnd thirteenth of September ;
and though hero , nt the InM stand-point ,
the Mexicans fought with nil the bravery
nnd rocklcKsncHH of despair , nnd though
they outnumbered our forocs two to one ,
jot they were routed horse , foot nud nil ;
nnd the most valuable of all the muni
tions of the nut Ion were loft in the hands
of the victors.
On swept the noble army to the city.
During the night Santn Ann fled in the
cnrrjngo of a friend to Gundnluiio Ilidal-
go , nnd nt midnight the rest of the olli-
ccrH nnd troops commenced their flight
to the north , On , the following morning
the Atnoricnn army mnrchod into the
city , nnd over the ancient hulls of the
MontoznmnR wared the Stars nnd Stripes
of our glorious republic. It wns n
strange hour for the victors , nnd no won
der thnt they should fool n proud emotion
na they reflected upon the work they lutd
performed , and behold the consummation
rtf their patriotic endeavors.
On the Hixth day nfjor entering the
Mexican capital , Peter hastened to IIH !
master's presence and informed him that
he hnd seen the two Indians who had
boon pointed out to him in Vern Cruz.
Clarence hastened out with him , but
nothing more of the Fudlnns could be
scon.
"My donr boy , " said Clarence , after
, tliey hnd wandered through two or three
MliinrcH , "I do not like to dispute you ,
but nre you bttro you saw those nienV"
"Just as suru as I am that I'm nlive , "
was the boy' Hcontidont answer. "I saw
them pass our ( quarters this morning ,
though nt thnt time I wns not sure. Hut
I followed them ax quickly ns possible ,
and when 1 got uonr enough I knew
them , They wore matching your house
very narrowly when I first saw them. "
"It is strange , " murmured Clarence to
himself. "I cannot imnginc what they
are up to. " >
"Ot course f cannot , " returned Peter ,
unless "
"Unless whntV" iuquir.od Cllirenco , ns
the hey hesitated.
"Why I have thought flint some/me
might have sent them to follow you ,
thinking that jou would find Irene nt
the end of your journey. "
The joung man started at this. The
thought had not before entered his iiiltul.
"There nro some who would gladly
know whore the maiden is , I suppose , "
the boy mldcd , ns bis master did not
speak.
"Certainly there are , " answered Clnr
onco.
"And I suppose these two Indians to
be chief among them. "
"The Indians ? " uttered Clarence , In
surprise. "Why what should they want
with Irene , unless they have been hired
to find her ? "
Peter gazed Into his master's f fnce with
a look of wonderment.
"Why did jou bid me wntch those two
Indians ? " ho asked , ut length , In u
strange tone.
"Ik'Ciiuse 1 wanted to find out , if pos
sible , why they followed me. "
"Hut don't jou remember , at Vera Cruz
you bade me look at them so us to be
btire that I might know them again ? "
"Certainly , " answered Clarence.
"Well what did you mean ? " the boj
asked , In the same peculiar tune.
"What did I mcuu ? Was not my mean
lug evident ? "
" ! ' thought it wns at the time , but 1 am
led now to think I was , mistaken. "
"What do you menu , Peter ? "
"Why when you first told me to look
nt those men , so that I might know then :
again , did jou not know who they wore ? "
Clarence gazed Into the face of his boy
nnd a Mrnngc gloaming was visible upon
his countenance.
" 1 saw t\u > Indians , Peter ; and from
their manner I was led to fear that thej
had bi'on employed to follow me. I knew
they looked like those whom the pries
hnd pointed out as Totonmiues , nud
also know that those were the ones with
whom Irene had stopped n while noa
Vera Cruz. Now , what more did you
see ? "
"Why , sir I simply saw thnt Antonio
St. Marc and Martin San Honlto bad
assumed the disguises of Indians , and
were watching your movements. "
" "
"Peter
"Dili you not know them , sir ? "
"Know them ? ly $ my M > ul ( , no ! "
"Why I know them the moment T pu
my ejes upon them , nud I thought , from
the way you spoke , that you knew tucin ,
too. "

Our hero hnd now bin out fear ; nud
that \\/IH that HI. Mnt < might tnlntruM
where Irene WIIH , and run * steal the

mil possessed n kind nnd generous heart.
Calypso hnd introduced the maiden there ,
nnd there she bad found n warm wol-
omo.
It was nt the close of u warm and
ileasunt day thnt Irene nnd Cnssundra
sat together in their chamber. Irene look
ed beautiful now. Her health wns un-
mpnirod , und n pensive , thoughtful ex
pression dwelt upon her handsome fea
ture * . She wus not snd , for u strong
mpc gave her courage. Only the day
before she hnd learned thnt the Aniori-
cnn army hnd taken the capital , and that
"larence Howard was among the officers
ho accompanied the victorious general.
This piece of intelligence hnd been
brought by Calypso ,
"I should think he would come soon , "
Irene snid , gazing hopefully into her
companion's I'nco.
"Of course he will , " returned Cnssan-
Irn. "I suppose he has some duties to
lorform before he cnn leuvo the nrmy. "
"Hut you think ( bore is no doubt that
he is with the nrmy. "
"Why Calypso Knys he is ; nnd I sup
pose her information wns direct. "
"And yet , " snid Irene , with n shudder ,
'he hud mnnj1 dungcrs to pns-s through. "
"Yes , " replied Cassandra.
"F ' '
hope Cnlj'pso's information was cor
rect.
"I am sure it n as , my mistress. "
"And I do not think Calypso would de-
'oive ' mo. "
"I think not. "
'lints had Irene spoken many times
since she had received the Intelligence
of her lo\er's arrival at the capital. Even
; ho slightest assurance from her compan-
on seemed to give her comfort , and she
thus introduced the subject that those
assurances might be g\yen. Her highest
mpe of earth was to see Clarence How
ard. Kvory thought of joy in the future
wns centered in him , and the holiest love
of her soul was his. The long dny * of
gloom that hnd pusscd threw nil her joj's
into the future , nnd thus her very life
time of ponce hung upon the hopes she
now cherished. If she had a doubt It
wns of the real intent of Calypso , Thnt
( range woman hnd seemingly been very
kind , nnd of course Irene wns very grate
ful , but'still she felt at times a secret
fear thnt all wns not right.

Those stringers were hcnvn on the upper

ORGANIC 1NFLAMA1ATION.
"DEAH Mas. PIKKUAM : I was
troubled very badly with inflamma
tion of the b'lnddor , was sick in bed
with it. I had two doctors , but they
did mo no good. A friend pave 1110
Lydia E. 1'mlcham'a Vegetable Com
pound , and it helped me. I have now
taken three bottles of it , and I am
entirely cured. It is a God-send to
any woman , and I would recommend it
to any one suffering us 1 was. I think ,
if most of the women would take
more of your medicine instead of
pping to the doctors , they would be
better off. The Compound has also
cured my husband of kidney trouble. "

NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
" For two years I suffered from
nervous prostration , the result 'of
female weakness. I hud leucorrhoca
very badly , and at time of menstrua
tion would be obliged to go to bed.
Also suffered with headaches , pain
ncross back , and in lower part of
abdomen. I was eo discouraged. I
had read of Lyd'a E. Pinkham's Com
pound , nnd concluded to give it a trial.
1 wrote to Mrs. Piukham , and received
a very nice letter in return. I began
nt oneo the use of her Vegetable Com
pound and Blood Purifier , and am now
feeling splendid. I have no more pain
at monthly periods , can do my own
work , and have gained ten pounds. I
would not be without your Vegetable
Compound. It is a splendid medicine ,
lam verv thankful for what it has done
