last 40 days. Wounded and captured
by the enemy after having made
charge into the Madriz entrench-
ments In the face of a CALLING machine
gun fire; escaping death at the hands
of a Madriz colonel only to be SEN
fenced to death by that officer after
a drumhead court-martial; pardoned

hospital camp and so reported to his
friends In Bluefields, and finally re-
captured by the forces OF General
Mena and carried to Bluefields for
treatment, are a few of the things
which he went through.
Young Mason, who is barely twenty
four years old, arrived here, en- route
to New York, a subscription having
been taken up by Americans In Blue
fields to send him to his home. His
right leg is almost useless, he having
been, as he expressed 1t, ''ham-strung'
by a machine gun bullet which passed
through his thigh and caused partial
paralysis. He was with the unfor-
tunate Milwaukee boy, Rosenthal, who
was killed by stray bullet in the bat
tie of San Augustin. Young Rosen-
thai was an adjutant to General Cor

under orders from his chief that he
was shot and killed. The charge in

the most remarkable In the fighting

resolute In her purpose 10 meet and
warn Major Ridgeway.
Reaching the foot of the blum. she
entered road through the wood. a
short cut to the home of Grandfather
Ridgeway. BY this way she knew
the young patriot would be sure TO
come.
She had only gone a half mile when
the rapid beating Of horses feet on
the hard frozen ground behind her
told her that her flight had been dis
covered and the troopers were on her
track.
Like a frightened bird. she sped
through the night and storm, the no
BILE horse Of the man she was out
whiting never once offering to turn
back or slacken his pace.
The sound OF her pursuers came
more distinctly. and despite Blue
skins speed she began to fear they
were gaining on her.
Three miles of that mad ride passed
over and Faith realized that the
troopers were surely gaining. She
had under-estimated the speed Of
their animals.
Did fate decree that she must fail?
Must the man she loved fall into the
net so artfully laid to ensnare him?
"Never!" she cried. ION, good
Blueskin. We will win yet"
She had crossed the stream that
wound across the road, when horse
man coming rapidly from the OPP
posite direction refined in with jerk
and grasped her bride rein with a
firmness that almost unseated her.
In the sudden terror that seized
her, Faith believed that she had
fallen into the hands of one of Dali
tons allies stationed there to watch
the road. She was on the point OF
yielding to despair when a familiar
voice demanded:
who comes here?"
Major Ridgeway!" gasped Faith
between a sob and laugh. II thought
you an enemy"
Faith! Faith Harding!" cried the
young man, catching and holding her
chilled hands. why are you here?"
Quickly she gave him an account OF
her daring mission, and they were
soon riding swiftly back to Grand
father Ridgeway's, where the young
officer had left small body of Amer
lean soldiers who had brought him an
important message.
The British soldiers were captured
by the Americans and Dalton, alarmed
for his own safety, left the country.
Soon after her brave ride, Faith be.
