gagged Paul in the discussion of fur
ther plans for the morrow.
It was soon time to dress for dinner,
and Eta was forced to forego the op-
portunity she sought to exchange a
word alone with De Chauxville. That
astute gentleman carefully avoided al
lowing her this opportunity. He knew
the value of little suspense.
During dinner and afterward. when
at length the gentlemen came to the
drawing room, the conversation was Of
sporting tendency. Bears, bear hunt
ing and bear stories held supreme
sway. More than once De Chauxville
returned to this subject. Twice he
avoided Eta
In some ways this man was coura-
geous. He delayed giving Eta her op-
portunity until there was a question
Of retiring to bed in view of the early
start required by the next days ar
rangements. It had been finally set
tied that the three younger ladies
should drive over to a WOodmanS cot
tage at the far end Of the forest, where
luncheon was to be served. While this
item Of the programme was arranged
De Chauxville looked straight at Eta
across the table.
At length she had the chance afford

''What did you mean?" she asked at

"What difference?"
Il should have been your husband

Eta laughed, but her lips were for
the moment colorless.
"When am I to see you alone?'
Eta shrugged her shoulders. She
had plenty of spirit.

She rose and concealed a simulated
yawn.

sinister smile, and Eta suddenly saw

Fighting Behind Rivers.

Modern military science still looks to

Russia neglected what seemed to be
her advantages on the Yalu, but she
utilized the banks Of the Taitse, the

deep and easily navigable stream in

northerly branch Of the Sungari. II
the Russians fail to hold the Sungari
they may retire 25O miles north to
some stragetic point on the Amur. They
will then be on the southern boundary
OF Siberia and the Japs still outside
of Russian territory. During the civil
war the Confederates managed to
place five different rivers, not counting
Bull Run, the Ny and the Tolopotomoy,
between their army defending Rich
mond and the assailing foe. The Po-
tomac was never stubbornly defended,
but the Rappahannock, Rapidan, North
Anna and Chickahominy baf1ed the

Of bloody battles. Richmond was on

CHAPTER XIV.

u l bedtime Catrina went to Mag
~ gle's room with her to see
that she had all that she
Il a could desire A wood fire was
burning brightly in the open French
stove. The room was lighted by lamps.
1t was warm and CHEEKY. A second
door led to the little music room which
Catrina had made her own, and be-
yond was her bedroom.
Tee princess knows Russian?" said
Catrina suddenly.
She was standing near the DRESSING
table, where she had been absently at
tending to the candles She wheeled
round and looked at Maggie, who was
Hospitality sitting on low chair near
the fire. She was sorry for the lone
Illness of this girls life. She did not
want her to go away just yet There
was another chair by the fire, inviting
Catrina to indulge in those maiden
condolences which attach themselves
to slippers and hairbrushings.
Maggie looked up with a smile which
slowly ebbed away. Catrina's remark
was Of the nature Of a defiance. Her
half diffdent role of hostess was sud-
denly laid aside

English girl.

TN Russia before for a few weeks, but
she did not learn the language. She
told me so herself. Why should she
pretend not to know Russian, il she

Catrina made no answer. She sat
heavily down in the vacant chair.

Reclaiming Desert Lands.

A recent report of the census bureau
upon the growth Of irrigation systems
in the United States shows that up to
1912 private enterprise had installed
systems in thirty-one states and terri
tories. The expense Of these enter
prises is estimated at $93,G0O,O00, but
Is thought to be low An area Of
9,50O,O0O acres has been covered so
successfully that crops have been pro-
duced far above the average for lands
depending solely upon the rainfall.
The arid region Of the United States
extends over about two-fifths Of the
country, and, while irrigation systems
have an advantage in humid and semi
arid districts, they are not a necessity
In the arid region water only is need
ed to make large part Of it one Of
the most fertile areas in the world. It
is land Of sunshine, and the applica-
ton of water scientifically regulated
converts it into an agricultural para
disc. With artificial irrigation the farm
er turns the water on and shuts it off
in accordance with the needs of his
growing crops.
In 1902, after the way had been
marked out by private enterprise, the
government took the first step in frri-
CATION to reclaim desert areas on pub
lie lands. Fifty years ago or more the
Mormons made use Of irrigating ca
nails in the arid belt, following the
methods pTacticed before them on the
same soil by the Indians and the Span
iarls. The purpose Of the government
in establishing systems of irrigation is
solely to reclaim public lands. Nat
urally there will be danger that the
government enterprises will trench
upon the water supply already appro-
priated by private enterprise, for the
water in some districts is limited.

clsed over nerself she somewhat nar-
urnlly exaggerated also; his Importance
In the world and In the lives OF those
around him. She had imagined him
all powerful, and the first person to
whom she mentioned his name dismiss
ed the subject indifferently Her own
entire sincerity had enabled her to de-
tect the insincerity Of her ally. She
had purposely made mention of the
weak spot which she had discovered in
order that her observation might be
corroborated. And this Maggie had
failed to do.
With the slightest encouragement
Catrina would have told her compan-
ion all that had passed. The sympa-
thy between women Is so strong that
there is usually only one man who Is
safe from discussion In Catrina's
case that one man was not Claude de
Chauxville. But Maggie Delafield was
of different material from this inn
pressionable, impulsive Russian girl.
She was essentially British in her ca
pacity for steering straight personal
course through the shoals and quick
sands of her .neighbors' affairs, as also
in the firm grip she held upon her own
thoughts. She was by no means pre-
pared to open her mind to the first
conner, and in her somewhat slow go
ing English estimate Of such matters
Catrina was as yet little more than
the first conner.
A score Of times Catrina approached
the subject Of Paul, and with imper-
turbable steadfastness Maggie held to
her determination that Paul was not
to be discussed by them. She warded,
she evaded, she ignored with a skill
which baHed the simple Russian. She
had a hundred subterfuges-a hundred
skillful turns and twists
At last Catrina rose to 60 Maggie
rose also. Women are relentless where
they fight for their own secrets Mag
gle morally turned Catrina out Of the
room. The two girls stood looking at
each other for moment They had
nothing in common. The language in
which they understood each other best
was the native tongue Of neither. Born
In different countries, each of mixed
race, with no one racial strain in com.
mon, neither creed nor education nor
similarity Of thought had aught to
draw them together. They looked at
each other, and Gods hand touched
them. They both loved the same man
They did not hate each other.
"Have you everything you want?'
asked Catrina.
The question was startling Catri
mas speech was ever abrupt At first
Maggie did not understand.

She went toward the door, and there
she paused.

ruptly.
Maggie made no answer, and, as was
her habit, Catrina replied to her own
question.
''You know he does not-you know
he does notw she said.
Then she went out without waiting
for an answer, closing the door behind
her The closed door heard the reply.
