! DEBUTANTES IN CAMP !

From the New yerk SIM

From the New York Sun.
There are several hundred debutantes
In New York, Washington, Philadelphia
and other cities around here, girls who
never did a thing but dance and dress
and ride and amuse themselves gener-
ally, who have made up their minds not
to be found wanting in case Of any um-
pleasantness. The first week in May
a group of these girls will form another
P%lattsburg on a 1O-acre lot near the
Washington. which lot is donated to
the cause of feminine preparedness by
Senator Newlands, of Nevada.
The women's branch of the Navy
league is mothering his project.
Two hundred debutantes will report
uniforms-divided skirts Of course:
high boots, a military cap with gold
braid, said to be very becoming. and
The other proper toys. They will sleep
five in a tent-tents of military bareS
ness, containing each five little cotA
five wash stands and five tiny mirrors.
Each recruit is allowed one suitcase
and n mall bag.
The girls will rise az $3.50 o'clock and
put in a strenuous day learning mill
tary signaling-wigwagging--how to
shoot. how to march and also less in
terestlng things, as camp cooking and
how to roll bandages and perform first
aid to the injured. Two weeks of it
they will have, INC her another batch
of debutantes will take their places.
and so on through the summer. Day
pupils to the number of 600 at a time
will share the instruction, but of course
they won't rank with the real soldiers
in embryo, who sleep in tents.
offlcers of the army and navy. Red
Cross nurses and scientific cooks will
teach the debutantes. All the mothers
are said to be delighted with the chance
to give their daughters a taste of milf
tary life.

Buck desp,sed her for her conduct
that his love for her had died under
the eXaction she had put upon twas
forming vaguely In Jess mind. Could
she lame him, ste asked herself now,
with forlorn cz.ssor. if guessing her
love he should lsxm It a platry thing?
He should nDNer guess it again. She
had scorned and repulsed him often.
Not by the lifting of an eyelash would
she have him think she played for him
now.
She ode into the river woods.
Heavy drops from the trees fell upon
her coated body like shot. Her pony
slipped and slid on the sodden loan
of the forest.
Reaching the ford, Jess saw at a
glance that it would be a hazardous
thing for her to attempt to make it.
So she drew her pony back toward the
higher overhanging bank, mo sat him
there watching the mac race of the
river at her feet.

He laughed again.

He laughed again.
"Sneakin' amt in your line now, eh"
he sneered. Didn't work no how did
it, JESSE" He put his horse in motion.
II must be movin' on" he said. I'm
bound for Shanley's forge"
You're bound for a halter your
neck!" declared Jess. That's what
what you're bound for. You've stole
that brandin' rod from the Raccoon
River. l wonder why!"
Keep on wonderful, damn you!"
Grange cried in sudden fury. But keep
l owes for certain things already. Don't
you force me to pay. There amt no
love lost 'tween me IN any one on the
Loop, let alone Buck Brannon an your
father!"
He rode on at that, leaving the girl
not a little perturbed and vaguely IN
easy. Slowly she went back to her
waiting horse.
Jess did not dream any more that
day. For a time she sat thinking, more
and more convinced that Oranges pres
ence on the Loop BODIED no good for
its interests.
He might have been taking that iron
to the forge at the fork of the public
roads, but for some reason Jess doubted
suddenly 1t occurred to her that she
might ride that far to see if he had
been telling her the truth. h would
miss her dinner, but that did not mat
ter. The service she might be render
ing her father and Earle Worthing far
outweighed that.
She went Yer to her pony, frightened
the loosened cinches, and, getting into
the saddle, rode up to the plateau of
the plains, turning %northWard until she
might strike the ford, and so on over
towards the roads beyond the river.
