THROUGH THE LINES
BY WALTER JACOBS MORSE.

Whisper"
Jan Worst, burgornaster, leaned
over, seized my ear--for he was
pudgy and short-pulled himself up
and myself down and murmured an
ominous word.
| thrilled. started, too, and ten
feet distant the beautiful lady who
was perforce my prospective COM
panion for long and dangerous jour
ney, regarded us both with close az
tention, almost suspiciously.
What Jan Worst had told me an
swered a question | had asked. 1t
related to a patient, plodding pack
horse, standing beside the one where
Lady Disdain' sat, superb and statu-
esque, in the saddle OF more melted
steed. Why | called her so was, first,
because did not know her real name;
next, because when she was not Sc
cretly weeping over the great anxiety
and surprise that filled her mind she
was cold as ice in her manner. She
suggested the lofty disdain Of per-
son forced into an unpleasant and dis
turbing situation and submissive only
because circumstances compelled 1t.
This much only | knew concerning
her-she was a lady OF high breeding
and the daughter of an affluent Amer
lean family. Separated, they had been
caught in the battle zone. 1t might be
that her parents were dead, for she
had not heard from them. Stranded
in the city where l myself had been
halted in my art labors by the prog
ress of the war, an acquaintance, a
native college professor, had become
interested in getting her past the dis
puted frontier.
l. too, was anxious to leave the war
center of peril. | had a good friend
in Beirne-the burgomaster, Worst.
In fact, he was a relative by marriage
of my brother-in-law Few and select
ed were those who were allowed to
leave Beirne, and they practically
smuggled out. Honest, helpful Jan
came to me one day.
MY friend" he said, Il have Sc
cured a passport, or rather safe
conduct through the Belgian home
lines for yourself and your wife"
But / have no wife!" exclaimed.

serving young lady through the lines.

chance. Within forty-eight hours ac-
cess to the whole frontier will be i'm
possible. The lady and yourself must
go on horseback. You will lead a pack
horse with heavy load. It's to be
delivered at the end Of your journey.
The fact that you are to thus act for
us is the excuse for your safe con-
duct. You win follow to the letter
the route marked out"
But the young lady-has she a
knowledge OF this awkward arrange
ment2"
Il will confess that she has reiuc-
family agreed to it," replied Worst.
She is proud, angered at the treat
ment she has received in the war zone
and half distracted with the fear that
her parents have persisted. ! need not
ask you to be courteous. Be more
indulgent. She seems never to have
before experienced the rigors of depri

through which she has been forced to

a moment II dazed me. Then / said
Very we'll will carry out your
instructions to the letter"
1t was dusk when we started. As
Worst babe the lady good-by, she
took his hand and expressed her graft

he waved his hand towards me with
the words This is your guide and
my friend. He is brave and a gentle
man. she drew up haughtly and gave
me simply cold, formal bow. 1t

You think that you know what the
legislature has done with this or that
bill, only to discover that by some par
liment trick, they have undone what
they did, and then they have again
done what they undid. This has hap
pened so often that the readers of the
country papers in the state will likely
find much real news in the law supple
ments which will be issued after the
legislature gets through with their
doing and uudoing.

SEE GLORIOUS COLORADO EN-
ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA.

Are you going this summer to the
California Expositious? If so you
should make the journey by way OF
Denver and Colorado Springs and visit
the magnificent mountain sights easily
accessible from these two cities Your
Colorado sightseeing over you can
continue on through to the Coast, TO
either San Francisco, Los Angeles or
San Diego, or you can stop over aud
see the attractions Of Salt Lake City,
and if desired, make side trip to yell
lowstone National Park. This arrange
ment is made possible for you through
the service of the Chicago, Milwaukee
IL st. Paul Railway. Two splendid
trains THE Colorado Special and
1.-THE Colorado Express" are operated
through to Denver over this route, in
connection with the Union Pacific Rail
road.
You can return direct from Califor-
MIA if you desire. but for few dollars
more you can see the beautiful Pacific
North Coast, thence journey east over
the picturesque Trail Of the Olym-
plan, through the heart of three vast
mountain chains. This delightful jour
ney will amply repay the few extra
dollars that it costs.
Apply to the Local Agent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway

ton about low fares, time of trains,
and other particulars.

The legislature is still in session.
There seems to be no truth in the
rumor that they will hold an extra
session. Governor Philips is doing
what he can to hurry things along but
the legislature is takiag it's time about
quitting. We believe that the legisla-
tors take themselves seriously but to
the people Of the state their actions
are a huge joke Elk.

in regard to the sale of cigarettes to
minors and those furnishing them
either for sale or as a gift are apt to
be severely punished. ANY minor re-
fusing to divulge the identity of the
person giving him cigarettes will be
fined and any one furnishing them viii
also be severely dealt with. The law
says:
Any minor found being in posses
sion of any cigarettes, cigarette paper,
or cigarette wrappers, and being ask
ed by any sheriff, deputy sheriff,
police officer, village marshal, truant
officer, probation officer or teacher in
any school. to tell where or from whom
such cigarettes, cigarette paper or
cigarette wrappers were obtained who
shall refuse to furnish such informa-
ton shall be guilty Of misdemeanor,
and upon conviction thereof, shall be
punished by a fine of not more than
five dollars" Any person furnishing
cigarettes to minors is subject to a
fine Of not more than 800 or less than
$25 for first offense or by imprison-
ment
