CHAPTER XVIII.
The AWakenino.

The sun had passed the meridian
next day when Valiant awoke, from a
sleep as deep as Abou ben Adhem's,
yet one crowded with flying tiptoe
dreams. The one great fact of Shir.
ley's love had lain at the core of all
these honied images, and his mind
was full of it as his eyes opened, wide
all at once, to the new day.
He looked at his watch and rolled
from the bed with a laugh. Past
twelve!" he exclaimed. Good heav.
ems! What about all the work 1 had
laid out for today?"
Presently he was splashing in the
lake, shooting under his curved hand
unerring jets of water at Chum, who
danced about the rim barking. now
venturing to wet valorous paw, now
scram bling up the bank to escape the
watery javelins.
Valiant came up the terraces with
his blood bounding to new rapture.
Crossing the garden, he ran quickly
to the little close which held the sun
dial and pulled single great passion
flower. He stood a moment holding
it to his face, his nostrils catching it's
faint elusive perfume. Only last night,
under the moon, he had stood there
with Shirley in his arms. A gush of
the unbelievable sweetness of that mo-
ment poured over him. His face
softened
Standing with his sandaled feet
deep in the white blossoms, the sun
on his damp hair and the loose robe
clinging to his moist limbs, he gave
himself to a sudden day-dream. A
wonderful waking dream Of Joy over
flooding years of ambitionless ease:
of the Damory Court that should be
in days to come.
When he came from the little close
there was a new mystery in the sun
shine, fresh and joyous meaning in
the intense blue overarching of the
imponderab1e sky. Every bird-note
held it's own love-secret A wood
thrush sang it from a silver birch be-
side the summer-house, and bob
white whistled 1t in the little valley
beyond. Even the long trip-hammer
of far-away woodpecker beat ra-
diant tattoo.
He paused to greet the flaming pea
cock that sent out a curdling screech,
In which the tentative potterack! pot
terack! a guinea-fowl tangled itself
softly. go on" he invited. Explode
all you want to, old FTre-Cracker.
Hang your purple-and-gol pessimism!
You only make the birds sound
sweeter. Perhaps that's what you're
for-who knows?"
He tried to work, but work was not
for that marvellous afternoon. He
wandered about the gardens, planning
this or that addition: little longer
sweep to the pansy-bed-a clump of
bull-rushes at the farther end of the
lake. He peered into the stable: q
saddle horse stood there now, but
there should be more steeds stamping
In those stalls one day, good horse

LENGTH OF THE WAR
DEPENDS ON MONEY

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-Prolongation
OF the revolution in Mexico is believed
by the officials here to depend largely
upon the measure OF success attained
by General Huerta IN the execution OF
his scheme for the enforced circula ton
Of state bank notes They think the
real test of the popular support OF the
Huerta government will be found In the
manner in which the Mexican business
interests receive this latest move.
In prepara tlon for another battle be-
tween tho Mexicaps In the neighborhood
OF Ojinaga, Brigadier General Bliss COM
nanding the American border forces, is
strengthening the patrol at that point
and preparations are being made to care
for many refugees. who are expected
TO cross the boundary during and after
the battle.
Under Secretary Garrison's orders, the
troops Of either side, II defeated In bat
tel, are privileged to find refuge In Texas
Consequently, the American forces are
facing a serious military problem, which
may Involve not only the dIsa rming of
several thousand troops. but their sub
sequent detention which is the latest
army term for the internment prescribed
by international law.
The only direct news from the west
coast OF Mexico today came In q tele-
gram from Admiral Cowles, dated at
Mazatlan yesterday, stating that there
was no visible sign of attack on that
city.

OUTLOOK PLEASES
PRESIDENT WILSON

GULFPORT, Miss, Jan. 9.-Pres!dent
Wilson today expressed his qualification
that business interests OF the country
are adjusting themselves To changes
brought by the recent legisla ton and to
the spirit OF the times generally, In an
informal speech 10 a committee from the
Mississippi legislature, the president said
this phase OF public affairs was upper
most In his mind.
He referred to the tariff and currency
reforms as having been accomplished by
congress simply Saving wood and go
ing ahead with outlined programme Q.
The thing that pleased him most, how
ever, he said, was the way the business
acting, He made no reference to the
recent dissolution agreement OF the
American Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany. or to the withdrawal of the Nor
ships. but his hearers went away with
the impression that he had these things
in mind.
The president said he expected TO read
his antitrust message as soon as possl-
BILE after his return to Washington and
ers as soon as he returned to the capi-
tai.
The meeting with the committee was
private. Representative Harrison, who
dents speech was significant Of his at
utudc toward big business; that the
chief executive seemed TO have a dis
position TO work out the trust question
in peaceful way and in spirit OF COM
mon counsel.
The president took an automobile ride
today 10 the school in Pass Christian,
where several hundred children showered
him with bouquets. Tomorrow President
and Mrs. Wilson will hold reception at
the Herndon cottage al Pass Christian
for the people OF this and surrounding
towns.

come effective until two years after
passage, in order to allow adjustment
Of business arrangements. The other
measures would take effect Immediate
ly on passage.
Fixing of Prices.
The bill designed to stop agreements
for regulation of prices is designed to
effectually stop the fixing by wholesal-
ers Of the prices at which the manufac-
tured article shall be sold to the pub
lie and to prevent big business from
entering into contracts to control prices
of any commodity.
1t has been drawn with q view to
stopping secret agreements and 'gen-
tlemen' s understandings so far as
that can be done.
The measure on injunctions and dam
age suits would give individuals as well
as the government the right to start
injunction proceedings for any attempt
at injury. In any civil proceeding be-
gun under the Sherman law by the fed
eral government in which judgment
or final or interlocutory decree has been
entered, holding the defendants guilty
Of conduct prohibited by the act, it
would permit individuals claiming to be
injured by such conduct to be admitted
as a party to the suit with the same
relief as if they had brought an indie
pendent suit. This would give the in
dividual the benefit OF the results of a
proceeding by the government.
Members of the judiciary committee
active in framing these bills believe
that the measures would strengthen the
Sherman law without injustice to the
rights of business.
