CHAPTER xx.-contlnued.

AS he waited for her answer, Agatha
suddenly came to herself. Her trem
bling ceased; she looked about upon
them all with her truthful eyes; look
ed upon Hand standing unconccrned-
ly in the doorway, upon Chatelard In
the corner cleaning like an oily devil.
"No-he had nothing to do with 1t,
she said.
Chatelard's laugh beat back her
words like a bludgeon.
Liars, all liars!" he cried. II might
have known!"
But Chamberlain was impatient OF
all this. And now, Monsieur Kidnap-
er, you can walk OF with this gentle
man here. And you can't go one min

place for you"
Chatelard turned on him with anoth-
er laugh. you need not feel obliged

Englishmen never do. Got another of
those pears you offered me this morn
!ng?"
Before Chamberlain could make re-
ply. or before the sheriff and his pris-
oner could get to the door. there was
the chug of an automobile. A sec
ond later urgent and loud voices pene-
trated the room, first from the steps,
then from the hall One was the
hearty voice of man. the other was

''Mr. Straker-" cried Agatha

Agatha was saying. when suddenly the
attention of everybody in the room
was drawn outside
When Chamberlain had told Chate-
lard that his horse was loose in the
yard it happened to be the truth: now,
excited by fear of the strange machine
that had just arrived, the horse. with
flying bridlerein. was snorting and
prancing on his way to the vegetable
garden. 1t was almost beyond mascu-
line power to resist the impulse of pur-
suit. Aleck and Chamberlain sprang
through the window. the sheriff went
as far as the lawn after them, and in
that instant Chatelard slipped like an
eel through the open door and out to
the gate to Strakers machine, still

"Hey, therel" he shouted, and made

Knocking the Camp Site
Danville, Va

From the incipiency Of the movement to
locate the rife range and encampment at vir-
ginia Beach there has been evidence of dis
position the part of the Times Dispatch of
Richmond to unfairly and unjustly criticise, mis-
represent and malign the site and everything
connected with It, and the local stories and
pictures it has printed absolutely unwar-
ranted and unjust
After two days OF unusually heavy rains the
Times Dispatch picked out pool of standing
water to represent general conditions at the
camp. and published picture of it.
In a local news story 1t quotes Major Price
as SAYING:
of men with the absolute determination to
resent further ramming down the throat OF
good for rife range and can be used for that
purpose. the elevated position used by brigade
headquarters being large enough to accom-
modate them in case of bad weather.
This Major Price took five men back to Rich
mond with him and landed them In the Rich
mond jail. Three of them were charged with
desertion and two with stealing money from a
comrade who in bathing. They very likely
constituted portion of the disguised bunch
The Times Dispatch stories are as absurdly
grotesque and inconsistent they are unfair.
In article it says:
THE close proximity to Virginia Beach with
it's amusement devices, and the irregular car
service by the Norfolk Southern railway, made
the matter Of discipline impossible. while the

was no sickness. and with little work to do

Governor Eberhardt. of Minnesota, did not
take such gloomy view of the situation as
did the Richmond paper He said:
| II can't conceive OF a more magnificent camp
ground than you have here. 1t Is larger than
ours and picture that could hardly be ex-

ENOUGH SAID.

The New York World is unkind enough te
print what Senator Fall. of New Mexico, says
iof himself In the Congressional Directory, ar
extract from which is as follows:
Extensively interested in mines
lumber lands and railroads; now engaged in
farming and stock raising in New Mexico and
in mining in Mexico,
1t then prints the following extract from
Senator Falls speech in the senate on the Mex.
lean situation:
Every American citizen residing. or having
property. in any foreign country is entitled to
and should be given the fun protection of the
American government, both for himself and for
his property.
This tells why one man should want inter
yention in Mexico. Is 1t possible that there are
numerous others who want it for the same rea
son?
Intervention would not be SO strongly urged
probably II those who owned the mines had
to do the intervening. instead of those who dc
not own them.

the principles laid down in tn. Monroe doctrine.

the principles laid down in the Monroe doctrine.
For other reasons such cooperation might Be
undesirable. but not for the reasons assigned
by those who oppose that step.
That such cooperation would not be contrary
to the doctrine rs 1t has come to be interpreted
and enlarged upon 10 not 30 clear. The people
of the United States and. 1t may be, OF the
world have for SO long regarded the Monroe
doctrine as avowal on the part OF this coun-
try of an intention to deny to others any par
ticipation whatever In the affairs of Central
and South American affairs that the compare
lively restricted meaning Of the trainers Of the
doctrine has been lost sight Of and is under
stood to give us complete control of Spanish
America SO long as have the power to exer-
else II. even though the menace OF the spread
of monarchcal government to this hemisphere,
which has brought 1t forth, has long since
passed.
In the interest Of historical accuracy, however
and to forestall any cry that this nation is aban
doning the basic principles OF the Monroe doc
trine, should 1t be decided to cooperate with
Great Britain 1t would be well for these facts
to be laid before the people and for these basic
principles to be rightly understood.

PEOPLES FORUM
To the Editor of The virsinian:

To the Editor Of The virBinian:
Sir.-Hon. John Garland Pollard, OF Richmond
lcity, candidate for attorneygeneral spoke in this
city Wednesday night, July 23d. and while he
made a good speech the writer could not help
asking himself the question. what IL the matter
with Sam Williams? 10 he guilty OF anything
that UNITS him for the high office he seeks
again? Is he incompetent? As to the first ques-
ton say emphatically moi" Sam Williams
Is known all over this State loyal Sam Will
liams" He has been since he cast his hrst
vote. a Democrat in district where 1t paid to
be Republican, and had he cast his lot with
that party, would have been nationally honored.
The only Office ever held by him that was prOm-
nent enough to put him In the limelight he now
holds. although he has spent time and money
for years past in behalf OF the Democratic
party. Has he in that long service ever cast any
aspersion upon his party? Ever show such a
longing for that hesh-pot as to threaten to bolt
his party? Has he ever, by Implication or other
WISE shown any Of the insolence of office? No.
He Is the same loyal Sam Wilams' still as
we have known him to be. Is he incom-
petent? Let his record answer. No opinion he
has given in any case has been pronounced un-
sound. In all cases they have held water when
passed upon by the Supreme court. Has he neg
lected his business? The State never had a
more energetic and Industrious attorney-general
And would advise the Democratic voters
Of Virginia when they go to the polls on August
5th to ask themselves the question, What Is
the matter with Sam Wilams?" And answer 1t
in the negative by giving him overwhelming
majority.

Mr.. Pollard's Inconsistencies.

We have taken the trouble to point out a
few of Mr. Pollard's Inconsistencies because
to a striking Inconsistency that Mr. Pollard
voted against popular election Of State superin-
tendents of division school superntendents. of
local school trustees Of commissioners Of the
revenue and OF city and county treasurers,
though he Is now proclaiming himself a progress
sive and a champion of the people against
the bosses and the machines. 1t appears to us
that Mr.. Pollard is appealing to that old fac
tional spirit to which appeal unsuccess-
fully made by ADLER than he in 1905, in
1909 and again in 1911. He is preaching the
same gospel OF discomfort OF distrust of our fell
low citizens and officials In State, county and
city which others have vainly preached.
But aside from the merits and claims OF Mr..
Pollard Mr.. Cumming Attorney General Will
liams Is to be reckoned with in this triangular
fight, for necessarily he will figure in 1t and.
judging the future by the past, he will be a
prominent factor in the result.-Danville Regis
