the oath of allegiance.
Seven Slackers.
1t was during the mastering in that
the first slackers appeared in the reg
iment. One sergeant and two pri-
Yates of troop B refused to take the
oath of allegiance to the United
States. They We're arrested and put
to hard labor under guard until
court martial is called, according to
present plans of CoioneI Hoffman.
Failure of Lieut.. Alva West to ap-
pear for duty delayed the mastering

paraded for mastering they will be
arrested and held under guard.
Company L Arrives.
Company l., commanded by Capt.
Ben D. Locke, arrived in camp Tues
day noon. The eight men had been
travelling almost continuously since
leaving Antlers, twenty four hours
before their arrival here. After leav-
ing their train they marched a mile
across the lowlands under a scorching
sun to camp, carrying what little
equipment they had. \ large part
the men are Chickasaw and Choctaw
Indians. The company is a hardy
bunch. All have been toughened and
trained down by hard labor in saw
mills, wood choppers camps and on
farms. Some were without hats. All
were thirsty and hungry but none
complained and all declared that
their lateness was not caused by lack
of patriotism but by the wide radius
from which they had gathered and
the distance they had come.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form

the kidneys, they become overworked;

and misery in the kidney region; rheu-

The moment your back hurts or kid

bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of

Dwight peered over the balustrade
into the dining room, then drew back,
even though his eyes looked the
more keenly into the place. He saw
his wife touch the physician on the
arm, saw her lips move, caught the
nervous start of the man, then the
light laugh with which he answered
as he replaced vial in his pocket.
But David Dwight laughed also. For
he had seen the sinister red of the
skull and cross bones-the same vial
he had seen in the doctors laboratory
earlier in the day. Charmingly courte-
GUS was his manner as he received
the guests already arriving.

ishness had faded away, leaving the
hard speculative expression there Of a
cold, calculating. scheming woman.
Mrs. PRESLEY took the note from
the outstretched hand. 1t was brief,
cruelty brief and arrogant, the note
Of the suicide broker who seemed to
think his atonement made by the
mere snuffing out of his own exist
ence. Everything the girl possessed
wiped out by the smash of the Titan
Ship company!
The door bell pealed and she
started violently. Her eyes fastened
appealingly, half afraid, upon the girl.
But Selma Ashton did not see her,
immersed in her own thoughts. At
the sound of the bell, her shoulders
had Strengthened
She turned slowly toward the door,
half rising as the butler announced
David Dwight. Her eyes met those of
her companion, and there was de-
faint expression in them, defiant yet
triumphant. A nod of the head, sharp,
decisive, dismissed the woman who
started to protest against the sacrifice
she could see the girl had determined
| to make.
David Dwight had not gained his
millions through procrastination. He
had come decisively to the point. And
yet there was something splendid
about him that made the older wom-
ans heart go out to him. She re-
pressed little cry of pain as she
caught the tremolo that all uncon-
sciously crept into his voice.
Il do not want you to marry me,
Selma, unless you love me. 1 want
you more than anything in the world
but not that much Not without
love, Selma, for II know what love
means-now."
Came scuffle at the door, follow
ing the bell. She could hear the but
ler's voice raised in protest against
some intrusion, then the awkward

ing an intruder's rush toward the
room where the pair were. Mrs.
PRESLEY peered through the portieres
curiously. The newcomer was very
young and very breathless and very
dishevelled from his encounter with
the butler, who was hurriedly pursu-
ing, his hand outstretched as though
to grasp the intruder by the arm.

That was why he had laughed in
wardly as he placed his arms where
those of Holland had been but a scant
few moments before, as he felt the in
stinctive shrinking away of the wom-

had been so gleeful as Hollands hand
returned no pressure to his own.
With a murdered soul, David
Dwight found hatred had become joy.

did the reason for her marrying him.
It was in his voice.
The maternal instinct within her
told her the man proposed another
revenge. Her eyes met his and she
shrank away before the cruel CLINT
there. He bowed gracefully for 81
lence then extended his glass slightly
as he continued:
"And as a further token Of my es-
TEEN, Doctor Holland shall drink from
my glass"
And then she understood, under
stood even as the man she loved re-
ceived the wine glass from the man
to whom she was bound. The instinct
to cry out aloud a warning was upon
her but she repressed It, She turned
away with shudder, conscious that
Holland was speaking. She could not
catch the words.
And suddenly she realized that she
loathed this man too. Revenge-re,
venge-was that all man thought Of
lived for, died for? The man she
loved had been caught in his own trap
and was merely showing himself
thoroughbred. And when he fell dead,
who did they think was to pay for the
scandal-who was to pay?
She half rose from her chair, even
as the doctors elbow crooked to sip
at the wine. A second she remained
there, then slumped heavily against
the arm holding the glass, her eyes
closing in feigned swoon. David
Dwights arms were about her, lifting
her, carrying her to the library and
placing her upon the couch. When he
left the room, after turning her over
to the maid, she listened to the excited
chatter, the Raurmur Of suppressed
anxiety from the departing guests,
lulled by her husbands soothing tones.
Out Of the corners of her eyes she had
seen Holland heavily ascending the
stairs, could feel herself listening for
some sound that would tell her what
he was doing.
David Dwight stood in the hallway,
shaking hands with the last of the
guests when she saw the doctor COM
ing down the stairs, suit case In his
hand. She half rose upon the couch,
then moved out into the room, her
breath coming in a little Kissing
sound. She could hear the voices of
the men, then, for the first time in
their married life, was aware from the
shrill note in the millionaire's Voice
that he was losing his temper. A Sec
ond later came the scuffle of feet and
Dwight and Holland burst into the
room. At sight of her the husband re-
gained control of himself, dropping
his hold upon the younger man and
laughing.
"And so you thought you would
leave my house, doctor? You thought
you would dodge the collector, Ell?
You thought you would take what you
wished and then evade the payment,
my young friend?"
Selma drew closer. 1t seemed to her
she had heard the words before.

shall brand you everywhere as the

She threw back her head, bursting

uncertain whether to assume an air

mirth.

to clear the tea table, then slowly fol-

She hurriedly started to withdraw at

inquiringly as the butler entered with
