mean. don't get one for me. I'm stopping here"
But" Alan started to protest
She gave him pause with weary gesture.
' Please! It's no good arguing Mr. Law: I've
made up my mind; can be most helpful here, by
my fathers SIDE" she asserted, and nodded at
Trine with significant smile that maddened him.
He needs me-and no harm can come to me: I'm
pretty well able to take care Of myself"
At this the innocent bystander breathed an un-
heard but fervent little prayer Of Thanksgiving
whose spirit he doubted not was shared by Alan
For It stuck in the memory of Barcus that their
friend, the prospector (whose shack had sheltered
Rose and Barcus after their transit Of the desert
and prior to the man-made avalanche, which had
afforded this temporary immunity from pursuit)
had mentioned in the hearing Of Rose the factehat
his string of burros was limited to three.
This then, must have been the nub of the lovers
quarrel: Roses insistence that Judith be left be-
hind Alan's reluctance to consent to this lest he
convict himself of the charge OF rank ingratitude
remembering the great service his erstwhile antag
onist had done him.
If only Judith might not find cause to change
her mind!
He set himself sedulously to divert Judith with
the magic Of his conversational powers-an ofer-
ing indiferently received. He was still bllthely
gossiping when Judith flung away to her sisters
side. -tE I
The ensuing quarrel seemed but the more por-
tentous In view Of the restraint imposed upon
themselves by both parties thereto
He believed, however, that a crisis impended
when the tinkle OF mule-bells sounded down the
canyon road and at this he threw discretion to the
winds and ran toward the two with hands upheld
in mock horror and manner Of humorous protest.
Ladies. ladies!" he pleaded. q beg Of you both,
let dogs delight to bark and bite"
He got no farther: Judlth's ears were as quick
as his own; She too had caught the sound Of bells
behind the base of the hill And-ot sudden with
out another word, she turned and flung away into
the heavy thickets Of undergrowth that masked all
the canyon. to either side of the xagon.traH In
twinkling she had lost herself to view in their
labyrinthine shadows
The remainder OF that business was transacted
rapidly enough. There were no preparations to be
made; once Alan had ridden up with his three
brrrus. nothing remained but to mount and make
on without delay.
Before morning they were all riding like
so many hypnotized subjects. fatigue bearing so
heavily on all their senses that none spoke or
cared TO speak. Barcus 20 often caught himself
nodding In the saddle that be had little doubt he
slept through long stretches Of that perlous way.

Marrophat's assistance) was making the buIkhead
fast beyond question-wedging and blocking it with
timbers.
These ceased-and' the silence was broken by
Alan's voice.
''Barcus!"
The latter grunted souIfully by way Of answer:
he could do no more.

hurried whisper, but my hands are tied behind

DutifuIly Barcus grunted q solitary grunt.

Soon all were free of their bonds. Alan was
first to speak.

Then he was left to himself once more, but only
for few moments: the interval ended when the
two appeared again, this time bringing Rose IN

Not until she had been put down beside him did
he discover that Alan was likewise captive

Awakening befell Mr. Barcus in a fashion SUM-

of dreamless slumber
He discovered himself lying fiat on his face, with
somebody's inconsderste, heavy hand purposely

crops up. stm, as say, In spite Of de-
malls and Jokes, many people still stick to
the idea that Il is quite true that Russian
soldiers have crossed England for some
point on the Continent.

the Royal Field Artillery informed mo
that he had seen dispatch received by
the general saying that the Russians

he had seen them on Salisbury Plain and

The visit OF Belgian refugee, heart

country through the war brings a tribute
to the stricken land and It's heroic ma
tives, significant of the general English
feeling:
How wonderful the Belgians have

could not have imagined a few short
weeks ago that they would have held
back that ruthless army Of Germans and
gained us such valuable time. No wonder
that the German plans left such a con-

MOTHER REJOICES
TO GIVE HER BOYS
FOR OLD ENGLAND
Philadelphia w o m an Is
Told in Letter From Rela-
tive of British Women S
Service and Sacrifice in
Present Crisis.

The wives and mothers of England
have displayed characteristic fortltude
during the war. Heroically rising to ex-
traordinary defands, they have smiled
as they sent their loved ones to the
front, holding back the yelling tears till
the sound of martial music and march
Ing troops has died in the distance. They
have cheerfully endured personal priva-
tion as the pinch of war lessened re-
sources. They have received the tidings
OF reverses with courage and of per-
sonal bereavement with resignation.
They have energetically plunged into
work in aid of the troops, serving in the
Red Cross abroad and military hospitals
at home. They have not hesitated to
take the places vacated by men, now at
the front in factories and offices. In
every way, by service and sacrifice, they
have played a noble part. which will win
lasting remembrance when the record of
the war Is written into Albion's annals.
Typical OF the general attitude Of
cheerfulness and confidence are letters
written by an EnGishwoman of Liverpool
to a relative in this city. The easy style
of these letters and their calm discus
sion OF war news contain little indica-
tion that the writer has two sons in the
service, from one of whom she had not
heard in more than a month at the time
OF writing OF this son. a member Of
the aviation corps. she writes:
My dear Pat was at first at Sheerness,
where he remained fortnight with the
others of his air squadron to guard a
part of our coast He had a new engine
France on August II. Since that date,
he was leaving l have heard nothing of
him"
Pride and not regret mark this heroic
mothers feeling that her sons can be
of service to the mOtheTland, for she
says OF the second son:
Harry was in Hamburg until two days
before the war broke out. but had the
good fortune TO get through before II
became too difficult. His boat was sent
back three times by the Germans, but
finally the captain made up his mind to
get through, mines ar no mines, and
managed 4 triumphantly. The boy went
TO London and offered his service to every
one who might be able to make use Of
him, but he was told 10 wait for orders,
He came home and after a day or two
decided that waiting was a tiresome game
and quite unsuited 10 him, so he called
upor the colonel Of Pats battalion. who
imn ediately promised him a commission,
and he has been hard at work for some
time, and. l need hardly add, thoroughly
enjoying himself He looks very big and
