"Humph! he didn't look like a
dago."
He isn't; it's just because he is de-
lirious."
There was a long pause, broken fl
nally by a curt, "Well?" from the
father.
'I've been thinking" was the slow
response. "Of course, there is a
chance that he has friends in Wahas-
ka, and that someone will be at the
train to meet him. But it is only a
chance"
why doesn't the conductor tele-
graph ahead and find out?"
He doesn't know the mans name.

or to break into the suitcases under

"Well?" said the father again, this
time with a more decided upward in
Election. Then he added: you've
made up your mind what you're going
to do; say it."
Margery's decision was announced
crisply There is no hospital to send
him to-which is Wahaska's shame.
Maybe he will be met and taken care
of by his friends: if he is, well and
good: if he isn't, We'll put him in the
carriage and take him home with us. "
The cast-iron smile with the indul-
gent attachment wrinkled frostily up
on Jasper Grierson's heavy face.

known you a long time, Madgie. but I
never can tell when you're going to

Machine Gun In War.-While the
great nations Of the world are devising
new military engines Of destruction
and increasing their stock Of the old,
our army continues to tread a path
grass-grown by comparison with the
roads traversed by the heavy arma-
ments Of Europe. Failure Of our mill
tary authorities to take advantage OF
the great lessons Of the present war
cannot all be placed upon the should
ers of congress. One great outstand-
ing weakness Of our present military
system can be corrected with proper
cooperation between army authori-
ties and congress.
The machine gun has proved itself
one Of the deadliest weapons In use
by the warning forces. With this OBJ
ject lesson being thrown upon the
world screen each day, an archaic or
ganic organization Of the machine gun
compliments Of our service continues
in force and little has been said Of con-
templated changes. Our army has at
present a tentative machine gun organ
ization consisting Of two guns to each
regiment. The crews Of the guns are
detailed from the various companies
for temporary duty. There Is no In
ducement for the men to acquire per-
fection in the handling Of their weap-
ons. They are liable to transfer at any
~, ht,f oh
time in this branch Of the service.
Every German regiment has ma
chine gun company. comprising six
guns, manned by four officers and 81
soldiers. The men are thoroughly
trained in this service and remain per-
manently with the company. Enor-
nous quantities Of ammunition are ex-
pended in practice firing. Their drill
is an exhaustive one, resulting in a
perfection Of gun handling which Is
marvellous by comparison with the
crude efforts Of our machine gun units.
"And yet" the United States Infantry
Journal said in recent number, I'VE
have muddled along for years.
Are we waiting for war Of our own
so that we may acquire the experience
needed for solution Of this question"
It Is reported that there are now
more than $4,000 machine guns in the
German army, and their use is general
in the allied armies. Each Of our regi-
ments should have a machine gun
company with a permanent personnel,
armed with at least six guns. 1t Is
hoped that congress will provide the
means for such a re-organization.-

mule, the property Of Mr.. F. L. Allen.
There are two remarkable facts about
the animal, one Of which Is its advanced
age-32 years-and the other the fact
that the mule has passed out Of Mr..
Aliens hands four times, and each
time after a little interval, has been
re-purchased by him, at cost all
told Of $3.50. AS Mr.. Aliens sons grew
into manhood and started to farming
for themselves Mr.. Allen made them a
present Of the mule, and bought the
animal back from each Of them in the
manner described above. Though
having attained a ripe old age, the
mule is still in good trim, and looks
good for several years more Of vigor-
ous service. 49,. William Johnson, q

CHAPTER x.
Good Samaritans.


Since she had undertaken to show
Wahaska precisely how to deport it
self in the conventional field, Miss
Grierson had telegraphed her father
to meet her in st. Louis on her return
from Florida.
When Jasper Grierson travelled
alone he was democratic enough to
be satisfied with a section in the body
of the car. But when Margery's tastes
were to be consulted, the drawing
room was none too good. Indeed. as it
transpired on the journey northward
from st. Louis, the Anitas drawing
room proved to be not good enough.
1T is simply crude insult, the way
they wear out their old, broken-down
cars on us up here!" she protested
to her father. You ought to do
something about it."
Jasper Grierson's smile was capi-
talistic requirement, and some Of his
fellow-townsmen described it as cast
IRON" But for his daughter it was al
ways indulgent.
'I don't own the railroad yet, Mad
gle; you'll have to give me a little
more time" he pleaded, clipping the
tip from a black cigar of heroic pro-
portions and reaching for the box Of
safety matches.
"I'n begin now, If you are going to
smoke that dreadful thing in this
stuffy little den," was the unfilial re-
tort; and the daughter found a maga-
zine and exchanged the drawing-room
with its threat Of asphyxiation for a
seat in the body Of the car. Halfway
down the car one of the sections was
still curtained and bulkheaded; Of
course, the occupant of the middle sec
ton must be i'll. Quite suddenly her
interest became acute. Who was the
sick one, and why was he, or she,
travelling without an attendant?
With Margery Grierson, to question
was to ascertain; and the Pullman
conductor, once more checking his
diagrams in Section IL, offered the
readiest means Of enlightenment. A
few minutes later Margery rejoined
her father in the private compart-
ment.
do you remember the nice-looking
young man who sat at the table with
us in the Choteau last night?" she be-
gan abruptly.
The gray-wolf Jasper nodded. He
had an excellent memory for faces.
What did you think of him." The
query followed the nod like a nimble
boxers return blow.
II thought he paid a whole lot more
attention to you than he did to his
supper. Why?"
HE is on this car; sick with a fe-
yer of some kind and out of his head.
He is going to Wahaska."
How do you know it's the same
one?"
IT made the conductor take me to
see him. He talked to me in Italian

War Money.-The European war Is
now being financed on what may well
be called a colossal scale. The Phila-
delphia Public Ledger refers to Great
Britain's new loan Of $1,000, 100000 as
"the greatest in all history for any
purpose" The magnitude OF this loan
is considered reminder to all bel
ligerents, and especially to the foe,
that England lis prepared to wage
this conflict to a definite conclusion
no matter what the time. and no mat
ter what the cost" The Public Led
ger also refers to the financing by
France in a way by which that coun-
try may keep it's gold and yet proVide
all the cash needed for the purchase
Of war munitions. The French plan
has been mentioned in this paper. Ine
French bankers are purchasing mil
lions Of American securities which are
owned by the French people. and these
securities will be sent to the Unlted
States where they will be used as col.
lateral for borrowing money that VIII
go back to Paris. By this plan the
foreign market will be maintained on
a steady basis. The Public Ledger
sees in this French transaction the re-
leasing Of a large amount OF idle
funds and the starting Of still more
American wheels, with the consequent
filling of pay envelopes for thousands
Of American workmen.-Charlotte Ob-
server.

Uncle Sam Wants His Money Back
The government will sue American

to do so, refuse to repay money ex-
pended for their relief when they were
stranded in Europe at the wars out

imbursed the government, but Secre-
tary McAdoo says that a number had
refused to pay. A provision of the

The Enquirer-Suspension.
From this date the publication OF The
Enquirer will be discontinued. The
cause is rendered necessary from the
fact that we are unable to procure any
exchanges or news matter with which
to fill up the paper, and owing to the
almost total suspension Of the mails,
find it impracticable to forward the
paper to subscribers after it is print
ed.
We regret this the more partly from
the fact that the publication Of the
paper has been continued regularly
since the commencement Of the war,
but the circumstances by which we are
surrounded compels us to yield. We
are hopeful, however, that the suspen-
sion will be only temporary.
To those who have paid for the cur
rent volume we beg to say we will fur
nish the paper for the time for which
we have received compensation upon
tho publication being resumed.

Ourselves.


We resume the publication Of The
Enquirer this morning, with the ex-
pectation of issuing 1t regularly here
after, On every Thursday, should we
receive sufficient substantial" en-
couragement to warrant 1t.
The terms are 81 per annum; 81 for
three months; or ten cents for a single
copy, when paid in "greenbacks." If the
payment is made in specie, we will
make the proper discount and receive
it at market value. Country produce
of every description will be received at
market prices, for subscription or ad-
vertising.
Our terms are higher than before the
war. This Is rendered necessary from
the fact that every article used in
connection with the publication Of q
newspaper has advanced in price.
Whenever circumstances justify it, we
will reduce our price to the old stand
ard.
Subscribers who have already paid
for the paper will be supplied for the
period for which they have paid. Those
on our subscription list who have not
paid will be furnished with the pres
ent number when it will be discon-
tinued until we receive indemnity for
the past and security for the future.
The paper will not be furnished here
after to any person on indefinite credit
1t is our purpose after the mails are
established throughout the country
to enlarge the paper to double its pres
ent size. From what we can learn we
think we shall be enabled to do this
in about six weeks or two months.
In resuming the publication Of The
Enquirer, we have considered more
the wants Of our former patrons than
our individual interests. However, we
propose to continue the paper for the
purpose Of laying before the public the
many state papers afoat, which would
otherwise not reach a large part Of the
community. We will have little room
for comment on matters Of govern
ment were such altogether allowable,
but with the lights before us we shall
continue to urge upon the people to
lay aside former differences and a
generous emulation as to who can
best serve the country in this her hour
of trial. We are commencing the po-
litical world anew, and great changes
are upon us-we must set to work to
meet the emergency in proper spirit
to accept the terms Of reconstruction,
however humiliating they may appear
and make the best use we may Of our
present opportunities. The institution
Of slavery is gone forever and it is use
less, it is folly, it is criminal to dis
tract the country with partyisms at
this time. But one thing Is left us
to take the Amnesty Oath and enter at
once into the sober duties Of the citi-
zen. 1t shall be our object to represent
the district and 1t will be our pride to
show it is as loyal to the old govern
ment as it was to the unfortunate
principles of the four years war.
