dividual sense of honor
Have you formulated any plan?'
she asked quickly, and her rising color
made me feel that she had deciphered
my struggle in my eyes.
Only to walk out under protec
ton of this uniform. and when once
safe in the open to trust that same
good fortune which has thus far be

She shook her head doubtfully, and
stood moment In silence, looking
thoughtfully at the moving figures ir
the room beyond.

arousing suspicion" she said at Last

unusual precautions being taken to

patrolled. Even this house has q

Protect it with your silence, rather

old Indifference, so well assumed
while we were in the presence of
others. had utterly vanished as by
magic, and she sat looking at me in
anxious yet impetuous questioning.

her eyes never once leaving my face,

knowing how best to proceed or how
far to put confidence in her, what
would you Think"
IF that is true, that you were ex-
tremely foolish to take such risk for
so small reward, she returned calm
ly. Nor, under theee circumstances,
would l remain here so much as a
moment to encourage you. But 1t Is
not true This is no light act; your
very life must lie In tie balance, or
you could never assume such risk"
Il would trust you gladly with my
lie or my honor, l replied soDerly.

Shot? On what authority? Who

"shot? AS a spy? Why. it surely

CHAPTER XVII.

Through the Camp of the Enemy.
A glance at my watch told me that
it was already within few moments
of midnight There was, however. no
diminution in the festivities, and
waited in silence until heard the
sentries calling the hour, and then
pressed my way back into the noisy.
crowded ballroom was stopped
twice by well-meaning officers whom
| had met earlier in the evening, but
breaking away from them after the
exchange of a sentence or two, urged
my course as directly as possible to-
ward where the specialized brigadier
yet held his post as master OF cere-
monies
We had been conversing pleasantly
for several minutes when Mrs. Bren-
nan appeared. Standing so as to face
the stairs, l saw her first coming
down, and noted that she wore her
hat, and had a light walking-cloa
thrown over her shoulders. My heart
beat faster as | realized for the
first time that she intended to be my
companion.
"Oh, General, am exceedingly glad
to find you yet here. she exclaimed
as she came up, and extended a neat
ly gloved hand to him. Il have a
favor to ask which am told you alone
have the authority to grant"
He bowed gallantly
II am very sure, he returned smil-
ingly, that Mrs. Brennan will never
request anything which would not
gladly yield"
She Flashed her eyes brightly into
his face.
Most assuredly not. The fact is,
General Colonel Curran, with whom l
see you are already acquainted. was
to pass the night at the Majors quar-
tiers, and as he has not yet returned.

me to see our guest safely deposited

lines; and while. of course, ! have
been furnished with pas" she held
up the paper for his inspection, and
have bee: also instructed as to the
countersign, fear this will scarcely
suffice for the safe passage of the
Colonel"
The General laughed good-humored-
ly, evidently pleased wi her assump-
ton of military knowledge.

That 1t Turks in Some South
ern Watermelons.

Washington.-Th department of
agriculture asserts that there is a
concealed jag in some of the south
ern watermelons. 1t requires some
labor and scientific knowledge to ex-
tract it, but out of every 100 pounds
of melons the government chemists
have made one-tenth of a gallon of
alcohol.
They have also succeeded in ex-
tracing a very good quality of al
cohol from the sweet potato, and it
is expected that these two vegetables
can be turned to good profit in the
manufacture of denatured alcohol for

more activity. They contemplate a
more or less lengthy siege of dieting
and exercising. So 1t may be said
safely that every man or woman in

distant day when he or she will have
to don the "ashes and sackcloth Of

This is not an enlivening prospect,

Especial from United Press.)
Middletown, Conn. April 9-Former
Mayor Willard C. Fisher had the fol-
lowing to say today regarding the re-
cent dinner Of progressive Democrats
Of the State, held in New Haven last
week:
There were fifteen present, most Of
them men Of real prominence in the
party, some of great prominence. AS
to the underlying facts of the present
political situation in Connecticut, both
in its personal and in it's impersonal
aspects, there was almost complete
gratifying fact, to hear so many men,
and men of such quality, assent heart
lily to judgments which I have been
declaring for two years. 1t was Pc
culiarly grateful to hear several go
quite as far as I have ever done in
any of my statements.
when it came to immediate prac-
tical expediency, as against the recog-
milton Of the broad underlying facts,
there was more difference of opinion;
but I fancy that even here a consid-
cradle majority were Of about the
same mind with myself. Certainly it
Is proper and important to deny that
there was anything like an agreement
that Governor Baldwin ought to be
renominated, far, far from that, as
early developments are likely to
prove.
LAS I had, unfortunately, been re-
sponsible for the invitations and In
certain senses for the gathering, and
as it had thus my personal announce
ment as an informal talk, I discour-
aged the proposals of radical or pro-
gressive votes, not because was
against the action, by itself consid-
cred, but because I thought it not
quite fair to take any formal action
whatever at meeting which had
been announced pointedly as infor-
NAL
''Some, aside from myself, however,
are earnestly favorable to definite ac-
ton as an outgrowth of the dinner;
and I fancy that it will not be very
long before good part of those pres
ent, with some others added, will an
nounce their position in terms not
easily misunderstood"
