Excelsior can lie made from any
or all kinds of woods. According to
the popular notion, it is a product of
wood waste, hut this is not usually
the ease. But the forest service,
which has been experimenting to
discover uses for ailanthus, some
times known as paradise tree nr tree
of heaven, finds that it probably will
not make good excelsior. There are
great quantities of ailanthus in the
east, and especially in the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys, where it has been
naturalized from specimens intro
duced from China, until it is now
more abundant than some of the na
tive species. Its wood has been used
in small quantities for boxes and
rates, hut no other use has been
reported. The Indiana state hoard
of forestry and the forest service co
operated in obtaining a small con
signment for an excelsior factory,
where it was found that ailanthus
does not work up into good excelsior
because the product was not springy
and the strands tended to break and
crumble under pressure. This mav
have been due in some measure to
the fact that the wood had been kiln
dried, and further experiments will

.a tin- work of fomenting trouble among
i • Cubans in the interests of the Span
iards.
CHAPTER VTTT—Holton Is seined by
friends of the spy ana later is ordered
executed. He escapes and saves lie
American troops from falling Into a Span
ish ambush.
CHAPTER TX—He learns from General
Garcia that flic spy is Jose (Vsnola. one
of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes
part In the battle at San Juan.
Despite the suggestions of the prox
linity of the Spaniards, Holton sat
down and ate the most satisfactory
meal of his life.
Having eaten, he retired a little dis
tance and lay back in the shadows.
The sun warmed him, and the stiffness
caused by the damp of the night left,
him. If. as he had feared, fever had
been in his blood, it had gone now and
this inspired him wonderfully.
He was about to descend when the
flash of something below caught his
eye almost beneath his feet. He looked
closely and caught the flash again, fol
lowed by another flash, then by sev
eral. A flash in this jungle meant pol
ished metal of some sort, and metal of
: any sort here meant only one thing —
soldiers.
He strained his eves downward and
I then caught glimpses of a trail, partial
; ly hidden from ltis view by bushes. On
'lie side of the- trail nearest to the
vast ward the land fell sharply away
into a wide valley, the opposite sides
of which were bush and tree-covered
Hills? just as on his side.
And now as he looked, the situation
j dawned clear upon him. For he could
! *ee men moving, falling hack along the
trail, and eventually debouching into
bushes oo either side.
Holton's heart beat quickly. He re
membered what tile Spaniards had said
of Americans marching from the direc
tion of Siboney, and he knew that
right before his eves the Spaniards
were arranging an ambush for them.
Hut what could lie do? Almost any
j moment a detachment of Spanish sol
dier might come upon him. His slight
est movement would tend to attract
the attention of some of them.
What was happening? Suddenly
from the distance there came what
sounded to Holton like the clatier of
I steel on steel. He at once recognized
it as the sound a scabbard makes
when it strikes against a spur.
Hastily lie looked down at the Span
ish position, hut not a sign of a soldier
j could lie see. The trail was descried,
I the surroundings were as quiet, as
peaceful as the heart of a jungle. It
j was too quiet. Holton thought.
Suddenly the situation dawned* el ear
i —his countrymen were walking into a
deadly trap! And lie was powerless to
help them.
Then, ns though n voice had whis
pered in his chi\ he started up. \V;:s
I he helpless? Yes, if he was consider
ing himself. If fear of consequences
to him persnnall> Wf re to he weighed,
he was perfectly helpless. Hut not
otherwise. Providence could not have
smiled more benignly upon Hip Ameri
cans than in placing hint just where
he was- provided he Justified the
providential processes with the nerve
of a hero.
He rolled half on his side, loosened
his revolver in Us bolster, and then
drew it out. No more sounds come
from the trail, and yet, somehow, there
was the impression of movement down
| there, a subconscious feeling of the ap
I proach of men.
Holton, his eyes strained ahead, his
ears alert for the slightest sound,
started convulsively as a campaign hat
appeared for an instant through a rift
in the high grasses on the valley side
of the trail.
Then, flattening himself rigidly upon
the ground, he pointed his pistol in
the direction of the Spaniards beneath
1 him, and pulled the trigger. The sharp
•>';.r r-t of the forty-four fora 'hrotinn
nr (load stillness with nei '. iracking
violence. It clattered across the vat
ley in a hundred echoes. And then, as
though both nature and man had been
shocked into inanition, there followed
a few seconds of pulseless silence.
Again Holton's pistol rang out This
time, from the direction of the hidden
advancing forces, there came several
short, sharp commands. As Holton
lay hidden, thankful that the Spaniards
had evidently attributed the shots to
some overanxious soldier on their own
side, he saw two Cubans steal along
the trail and behind them a gigantic
young sergeant in the uniform of a
Rough Rider.
Close behind him were four men
They were picking their way stealth
ily. There was no question that Hoi
ton’s shots had the desired effect.
Then, as he looked, several long
lancelike lines of flame darted out of
the bushes in which the Spaniards lay
The valley resounded with a racketing
uproar. He saw the big Rough Rider
sergeant stop short with a look of sur
1 prise upon his face, saw his jaws set
grimly, saw him advance a step, and
then heave forward on his face, hloek
1sg~the trail with ltis body. •
The bushes beneath Holton were
; now darting sheets of dame and the
i gases from the smokeless powder drift
: ed upward and into bis nostrils.
From the American side he heard a
crashing as the main body rushed ui
into action or deployed inio the gvasj
to the eastward of the trail and then
suddenly out of tli£ thicket ratne th*
roar of the Kraus. Holton thrilled
with pride as he noticed that the aim
of the Americans was low and that the
shooting discipline was excellent.
The tiring was incessant and Holton
whose activities with his revolver hat
brought a volley or two in his direc
tion, now ceased firing and began it
work his way into the valley towari
the American position. He had no
gone far when the advancing linei
swept upon him.
“Hello. Bud,” cried a tall, swarthy
faced sergeant from a New Mexica
ranch, "what're you doin' way ov
here?’’
Holton stniled and was about to r<
ply when a red light suddenly flashe.
before his eyes and he clapped hi
hand to his forehead, for it seemed a
though a red-hot brand had sudden):
been clamped upon It. Then merciful
ly came darkness.
And as he lay thus in the tall grass
his eyes closed, blood streaming dowt
ltis cheeks and coagulating in the ho
sun, the Rough Riders met the regu
!ars front across the valley, while fou
| companies revolved around the lef
1 end of the hidden enemy and then, ai
the Spaniards later put it, “they start
ed to catch us with their hands.”
j For a mile and a half these men
! who had marched into what approx!
mated a deadly surprise, chased th'
Spaniards, sent them (lying hastil'
from three successive barricades unit
I finally, in utter route, they abandonee
| all thought of further interferenci
j with the American movement and fel
; back on the trenches before Santiago.
I But Holton did not . witness thi
| triumph of (luasimas. Long after tIt
thin blue line had swept on up the va!
ley he lay as he had fallen, vulture
flying over him and terrible land-crab
rattling about, seeking for that foo'
which death alone makes palatable t
them.

"Come, old man, you’re all right. The !
bullet just clipped your very thick
head and glanced off ”
Holfo" opened his eves and saw a
■ all, broad shouldered surgeon bending
over him.
"How do you feel now?” he asked.
“Bully," smiled Holton. "1 think I'll j
get up, if 1 may."
"Oh, you can get up just as soon as
••on think you feel sufficiently strong,”
replied the surgeon. He looked at
• loltou closely. "You're not of our
outfit. Correspondent, aren't you?"
Holton smiled and shook his head.
"No, my name is Holton, a lieuten
mt in (lie navy.”
"The navy! Gad! You must have
een spoiling for a landlubbers' scrap
hen.”
"I came in from behind Santiago,”
volunteered Holton, 'and ran into tuts
j bglit by accident. I have important
information for Admiral Sampson, if
you think i can get to the coast."
"You certainly can. I am sending a
| couple of wounded men down to Sibo
I ! ey now on horcsback. I have anoth
1 r pony which you may borrow—re
icmber, borrow," laughed the surgeon

“Thank*.” TJoltnn. aided by the sur
; non. eot upon his foot, swayed woak
’ / a moment with the other’B arm
: round him, and then, getting hit;
: wirnming head to rights, he walked
; lowly toward the trail.
A hospital attendant stood there
j holding two horses, and one of these
j he surgeon took and assisted Holton
I ”ito the saddle.
“You can leave the nag at our camp
ti Siboney and I'll get him,” he said.
“By the way. my name is Churoh.”
“Bob Church, of Princeton?” ex
claimed Holton, recalling now that lie
iad seen that broad-shouldered young
doctor on many a hard-fought gridiron.
"The same.” was the smiling reply.
“Well, Bob Church, I owe you one.”
rejoined Holton. "1 used to try to emu
lnte your deeds on the eleven at An
napolis. lmt 1 don't, think 1 ever suc
ceeded.”
“Oh, yes. you did!” exclaimed the
surgeon. “Holton Holton—Tommy
lolton—1 place you now. I think
they put something like All-America
nd after your name, a degree they
■ ever conferred upon me.”
( Holton blushed; and then, thanking
is benefactor, once more he passed
• n down tlte trail, in company with
wo privates, wounded in the legs.
As Holton wandered down a line of
1 mts, he ran into Aldridge, Buxton
; nd Fisher, all of the flagship New
York. He fairl> flung himself intc
heir arms, and, overjoyed at seeing
1 e m for themselves not only, hut be
iuse of the opportunity it gave hin
' • f getting the information he had ot
1 lined through to Admiral Sampson.
' After lunching with his friends a
nests of I lie junior officers of th
.'htrd cavalry, Holton made his wa.

Is information concerning thu spy t<
ieuteaant Miley, who received i
ith great politeness and apparen
ratitude, but obviously with litth
lith either in the fealty or the ef
cacy of tlte Cubans—a state of mint
bat Holton found prevalent atnonj
lost of the officers of the army.
‘fho army had been ordered tc

■ | rection of HI Paao, and there Wat
•mch to engage Holton’s interest
lie trail leading into the jungle was
onge*ted with light artillery, ambu
tnce wagons and inarching men.
Holton's present idea was to wait
l f or the army to move, purposing tc
I ollow their advanee, and under covei
>f the bailie to enter Santiago. Bu
I s day after day passed it seermffl tc
im as though the order to advance
1 ould be given.
' He went up to the Cuban camp sev
• e rat times, and on one of these occa
4 t ions had a long conference with Gar
■ i ia, to whom still maintaining his rob

’ at, he related the details of his mis

j Six days in all elapsed before an
indication that the army was to mov
jj came to the surface. On the sixt
day, June 30, however, orderly an
• aides began galloping down the roac
way and the word came that the ac
vance was to begin at four o'cloc
j that afternoon. Holton wondered i
I ' the entire army was to move at one
nr whether each command was 1
; lake up the march at an appointc
|) j hour.
At four pi*'inptly his question wa
answered when the entire force hrtdt
■ camp and crowded into the narro’
I , jungle (tail at pnv’tically the sam

I Holton followed along the trail wit
« an infantry regiment. The army wa

; smaller rise, Kettle Hill, on one siffi
!l As the day waned the men wh
knew that on the morrow Would com
the supreme test, settled dow n for th
night with grim faceR.

An orderly galloped ih* to G»oier»l
tjumiirr, head of the cavalry division,
and presenting General Shaffer's com
pliments, told him to move his divi
sion to tlie edge of tin woods.
"What shall I do when 1 get there?"
asked Sumner. •
"Await further orders,'' was the
reply.
Holton strolled np ro HI Paso and
found the regulars and the Hough
Kiders resting on their arms. Grimes’
men were training their guns on San
.Tuan, and impatiently awaiting the
word to open lire.
It seemed ages to Holton before the
order came, but come it did at last.
The men of the batteries sprang tense
ly into position, and as a sharp order
broke the silence, a lean-faced man
jerked his arm sidewise. A line of
red flame leaped out of the lci-.a.
chin muzzle, a bellying cloud of yel
lowish-white smoke rolled and tum
bled and made the air murky. Anoth
er gun belched forth its projectile,
and soon all the guns were thundering
with well-ordered precision.
The men were all crouched now,
waiting for orders. Over their heads
the terrible hum of the Mauser balls
was incessant. Showers of leaves
and branches fell among them. Every
; few seconds, it. seemed. someone
I would tumble to the ground and lie
! motionless or else writhe in silent
I pain. Captain Mills was close by Hol
ton's side when a ball struck that of
jeer in the side of the head, bark of
the eyes, and passed clean through,
i Holton could even hear the sound the
bullet made as it struck the skull, a
dull impact, a thud like Ihe clack of
| two sticks.
Holton bent over him and thpn left
I him for dead.
Crouching close to the ground he
j made his way along the lines, (let. r
! mined to find a place where he could

see something. Up hnd viewed as
I much of this visitation of sightless
I death In these dense woods as he
1 could stand.
Half-crawling, he suddenly cam" up
on the Hough Riders in a fever of
1 rage. Sumner had been ordered by
Shifter to await orders here at the
edge of the woods, bill where were
the orders? How long wi re they *o
be delayed? An hour from now there
would be no Americans to receive or
ders.
To Holton it appeared as though
the army had been desert»d, left to its
late when suddenly word came from
Lieutenant Miley, r< . sealing (len
eral Shatter, who was ill. for Sum
ner's division to move at once on Ket
tle Hill, lying to the east of San .Juan
and somewhat nearer the trails from
i which the soldi'rs were to enter upon
1 | rheir attack.
Instantly from out of that, fringe of
j woods and into the open, looted with
I a torrent of irad, sprang the negro
| regulars and the Rough Riders, bawl
| ing their famous "jip yip" at the top
' , of their lungs, while from a dump of
• | trees near the San Juan ford Parker's
little battery of gatling guns rattled
1 incessantly. To the left, out of ibe
l woods, flowed regiment after regi
t ment of white regulars, with that gal
lant soldier, Gen. Hamilton Hawkins,
at their head, making for the block
• house on San Juan hill.
Holton, drawn irresistibly by the
spirit of the conflict had seized a car
bine from a dead soldi, r, and in his
> excitement he cut across from the
foot of Kettle Hill and found himself
e first on the edge of the small lake ty
I ing between Kettle Hill and San Juan
hill, and then, as though the trsnsi
v tlon had been effected by magic, he
8 was among Hawkins’ infantrymen ou
i the slope of San Juan - lying down
J and firing, then going forward in a
crouching rush, jusi as he saw the
iii"ti around him doing. Once, lying
\ down, he looked behind and on either
f side and marviled that the long, thin
blue line ot charging men was not
> wiped out utterly, Tlmre seemed so
1 few of them.
Here and there he saw advancing
« groups, and then again one man, yell
i’ ing and firing all by himself. Tim
v bullets poured upon them pitilessly,
a Men were falling on all sides.
As he veered along the slope of the
i hill a young regular officer passed him
unconcernedly snapping pictures of
y the charge and yelling for his men to
I- come or. He smiled «t Holton, and
a Holton smiled back.
Then with a yell the onrushing sol
> diers came to their first rifle-pit. A
e few dead Spanish soldiers lay in it,
e but otherwise it was unoccupied. Into
the long trench poured the men, firing
a few volleys at the trenches above
e and then leaping out and piling on up
lh- bill.
