OUR HOSPITALITY.

Just as there are those who hold
| we should have gone to war over the
invasion of Belgium, so there are
others who declare, openly, that the
United States is In favor of the
Allies because 1t failed to bring
with our mails. It Is really long,
long way to Ttpperary. When Uncle
Sam undertook to play the role Of
neutral he essayed a greater task than
he barganed for. The war was young
then, however, and he should be for
given for what SO many deem mis-
take. If the United States were fight
ing today for all the reasons advanced
why 1t should fight, there would not
be enough countries in Europe to go
around.
Now the newspapers that champion
the cause of Great Britain are finding
fault because German submarines
arc allowed to enter United States
ports and leave unmolested, without
wage
what is called ruthless warfare on
neutral shipping. In the eyes of the
British these vessels, the submarines
Of the U-53 type, are nothing less
than pirates and should be treated as
such. The answer to that is, they
would have been pirates, and more,
had Admiral Won Tirpitz and his fol-
lowers anything to say about it.
American diplomacy, of the so-called
shirt sleeved variety, held that out

Quoted according to the rules laid
down by international law. To make
a great nation like Germany, fighting
for it's very life, bend to the dictates
of reason and humanity is no small
triumph. And such a victory must be
registered in favor Of President Will
son and his State Department.
If the United States were to deny
to German submersibles the hospi-
tally of American ports, it would be
terests and those of every neutral
nation on the face Of the globe,-even
to the disadvantage Of the belligerents,
of whom Great Britain Is one. It
must be rem EN- bered that it was the
influence of the United States which
prevented Germany from carrying on
an undersea. warfare in violation of
the law of nations This in spite of
the fact that England would be the
greatest sufferer If such unrestrained
methods were pursued. If, after all
its ports to German submarines and
deny to them the hospitality which
neutrals always accord, there would
be great danger, and even justifca-

on a merciless rampage. We have not

there seems little likelihood that we

to any maritime visitor that comes as

British take exception to this mode of
procedure, it is up to the British to

heated argument that the two enc

mails fell thick and fast; abuse fol-
lowed assertions; hard words and a
deep-seated enmity raised the tempers
of both men, and Bill, without further
warning, swung and sent Spike with
terrific left-hander to the ground.
Spike was no sooner down than up.
He came back at Bill goaded to fury
by the unprovoked attack. Men crowd

cleaning a lamp when Seagrue re-
turned still in company with the at

fathers had been unsuccessful and
Seagrue handed his foreman a notice
to post on the bulletin board:

moment and recollection of what he
termed Spikes treaehery came to his
mind. He spoke to the convict rough

Spike glanced at him with an angry

Spike, left alone, went into his tent.
He sat some moments thinking. Then
he rose and from a corner got out the
suit of clothes, carefully put away,
that Helen had bought for him in Las
Vegas. The least he could do. he felt,
was to take this over to Rhineland-
er's camp and return it to her with
such lame explanation as he could in
vent to cover the occasion.
He found Helen alone. She regard
ed him strangely as he approached.
Spike would rather have faced a sher-
lff than to face her on such an err
rand. He shuffied toward her ill at
ease and her silence did not help to
allay his embarrassment.

When she caught sight of the rum

but she knew Rhinelander and Storm
were inside and as she began to over

insistently. The two men, leaving
Spike, who in the face of the common
danger had pulled himself partly to-
gether, looked out of the side door.
To their amazement they saw at their
heels Helen humping violently along
in Seagrue's machine. She signaled
them excitedly. She tried to shout
to them but could not make a word
heard above the deafening noises.
Rhinelander and Storm did make out,
however, that she wanted them to go
to the top of the car and the two men
climbed the side ladder again.
Helen, still close behind, scrubbed a
note, folded it hurriedly, took off a
shoe, stuck the note inside and with

equal to a leap. Rhinelander and
Storm urged him to make every eff

best he could toward a jump. The
men together half caught and halt
the three aboard, Helen sped on ahead
of the runaway.
Storm had decided what to do. It'll
drop off the hind end, Helen" he ex
claimed, ''and derail the car"
She caught his idea. "Quick!" she
cried. "No time to lose."
Storm rolled over the back of the
machine and dropped to the ground,
A bridge spanned an arroyo just
ahead. Running forward, Storm caught
up such loose rocks as he could reach
and placed them along the track.
Helen, choosing a negotiable point,
turned her machine courageously off
the right Of way and steered it safely
down the embankment. The outfit car
struck the rocks Storm had thrown on

to the track, cleared it hurriedly of the
distractions. The engineer of the
train, seeming trouble, tried to check
his train, but it was too late and
Storm, to save himself, dropped down
between the ties and hung there till
the heavy train hurtled past. No en-.
CINE driver was ever more relieved
than the man in the passenger cab,
when he saw himself safely across.
He stopped his train. From the foot
of the bridge, Helen, Spike and Rhine
lander were making their way to the
top and were with Storm when the
crew and passengers came back The
engineman angrily told the conductor
the trouble. But after Storms brief
story, he was as grateful as he had
been indignant.
The conductor, knowing the anxiety
among the dispatchers, urged his pas
sengers on board and the train has
tened on. The moment it pulled into
Arden the conductor gave the details
to the operator and the latter wired
headquarters.
In the dispatchers' office t was the
chief himself who jumped to the in

At the bridge Spike was trying to

NINTH lNSTALLMENT
A CLOSE CALL

Despite Seagrues persistent Oppost-
ton, Rhinelander secured the right
of way to enable him to complete the
Superstition cutoff, and unable to
stop the Tidewater construction work,
Seagrue resolved to try other methods
to defeat his rival.
Helen Holmes was enjoying the
taste of camp life that her trip to the
front had brought. And after the ex-
element had died down attending the
destruction of Cassidy's house, she
found herself amused and interested
in Cassidy himself, who was busy
next morning trying to restore much
battered stove to service near the
wreck of his shack Helen watched
his dazed efforts until sympathy over
walked over to where Cassidy was
struggling to get fire going.
Seagrue, who had been watching
the scene from distance, saw Helen
join the old fellow, and deemed it his
opportunity to make tentative ad-
VaIlCoS toward Tic COllCCtlVG cuGLuy.
Sauntering over, accordingly, he joined
Helen at a moment in which she sent
Cassidy for water and was herself
watching the fire starting in the
stove.
Helen looked up in establishment
when she heard Seagrue's greeting.
Indeed, she resented his intrusion so
strongly that she refused all commun-
ication with him and for time he
spoke into deaf ears.
You ought not to be too hard on
me, Helen" he urged at length. ANY
man will fight for his life against ruin.
That's all I've done. Everything l
have in the world is tied up in this
Superstition cutoff. But more than
once 1 said TO myself, would willing
ly sacrifice it all to regain your friend

He spoke slowly and looked so beat

penumbra of Helen's gaze that she be-

1 hate to bring these back to you.
But the way I'm fixed l can't double

Helen saw he was greatly humiliat-
ed. And she was mystified little by
his words. "Spike;;" she said, kindly,
'the clothes are nothing But what
have I done to you that you should
treat me in the way you did,"
Spike shuff1ed on his feet and swung
his head uneasily. mot thing in
the world" was all he could say.
"Why have you acted in2this way?"
she demanded IT bought you ticket
to the city-you promised to go-why
didn't you"
He labored in continued confusion
to explain. He tried to tell her Sea-
grue had done many things for him;
he told her he owed Seagrue lot of
money and he had no hope of ever
paying him back except by work, and
that he didn't feel he ought to break
away now.
Storm and Rhinelander came up at
that moment. They greeted Spike.
He avoided their eyes as much as pos
sible and returned their greeting in a
shame-faced way. Helen answered the
surprise that overspread the faces of
Storm and Rhinelander. 'It's no won
der he's ashamed to speak to you," she
said severely. ''You would hardly be-
lieve it, 1 know; but the fact is he
has turned over to Seagrue again."
The two men looked at Spike with
undisguised contempt. Their attitude
made him desperate. ooh, know
what you think of me-" he said with
a reckless swing of his head. 81 can't
help it. can't explain 1t would take
me from now till the middle of next
week, if tried-and then you'd think
less Of me than you do now Never
be kind to me again. It's hopeless for
me-but / can't help it."
The three watched him shuttle away.
Rhinelander shook his head There's
a mystery somewhere in it. | can't
make it out. Some day we'll know"
well, in any case, certainly don't
want these Clothes" declared Helen,
looking at the bundle Spike had left
in her hands. They're no use in the
world to me-" A laborer was passing.
"Here, YOU" she said to the man,
take this suit If it fits you." she
added, before the man could recover
from his surprise, tits yours"
At Seagrue's camp, Bill and the pay
master were handing checks out to the
men. The latter stood about the car
