CHAPTER v.


Kynaston watched carefully the line
Of men which was working out of the
clump of cottonwood trees to the
south. He noted that they came for
ward very slowly, seeking cover care
fully, and that they were good seven
hundred yards away
At that range his own rifle and that
Of Nolan were the only two that could
be counted upon for efficient service,
the ordinary hunting rife rarely being
sighted for over three hundred yards.
He called Nolan to a portfolio on the
front face of the building
There were five other men in the
house-Mr. Upton, John Wilkes, an
old miner about sixty-five years old;
an American mine surveyor named
Wilson, and two Mexican servants,
one of whom was the cook. In addi-
ton to these there were himself and
Nolan, Mrs. Fame and Miss Upton, and
an old Mexican woman who had lived
at the place for twenty years.
First of all, Upton-it's bit late
to ask about it now if arrangements
have not already been made-but how
is your water supply?"
Upton looked at him, frankly puz.
Zled for a moment.
Heaven knows! Miranda there"
indicating the old woman-"gen-
orally gets the water that we drink
from the spring in bucket, but we
pump water to the bathroom from the
windmill, yonder." He pointed down
the slope to windmill family dis.
cerned against the line of the green
alfalfa patch.
"That'll be the first point of attack
then" growled Kynaston Nolan,
set your sights for six hundred and
fifty yards and cut loose at the first
person you see going for the windmill
They'll be trying to disconnect it,"
"Too late, sir" said Nolan. peering
out. They've got it already"
Worse luck!" snapped Kynaston
He turned again to Upton.
How much water in the house,"
Upton ran quickly back into the
kitchen, whence he came back with a
bucket in his hand, look of chagrin
upon his face.
There is only this one bucket and
1t isn't full by long shot. What1l
we do, Kynsston?"
do like Br'er Terrapin did when
the cornfield was set on fire. He set
and TUX it. II you remember your
Uncle Remus," said Kynaston grimly.
Put that bucket somewhere where
It can't be upset. Upton. It's all we've
got, and the Lord knows when we'll
get any more.
Make the ladies sit down on the
floor. Upton, below the line of the
loopholes, so that no stray shot can
hit them.
There they come! And by Jove,
it looks as II they mean business at
last! Sending a flag OF truce for
ward. The nerve of the beasts!
"Win you see the flag of truce. Up
ton? l can't go. You see, I'm in a
uniform and it must not get out that
a United States officer is over here on
Mexican soil. Take your revolver with
you and don't let them come within
ten yards of you. I'll cover you from
the house."
So Upton, laying aside his rife
went down the hill to meet the pseudo
officer, who, with an orderly behind
him. was signaling for an interview,
When they met. Upton left no doubt
in the officers mind that the miner
was angry.
Well. what is 1t you pirates

ARE WOMEN PEOPLE?
By Alice Duer Miller

Only, one of the reasons he probably
gives for being an anti-suffragist is that
women cannot be called upon for the de-
fence of their country.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-02

For example, in Anti-Suffrage Notes
No. 107. issued by the Cambridge Anti
Suffrage Association, we read
1T is such evils as these. as the Chicago
Tribune has pointed out, which it was sup
posed the direct political power of women
would clean up. But it is since women have
had this direct political power that these evils
have arisen
Wasn't it rather hard to expect the
women's vote to clean up a situation
that had not yet arisen?
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-02

OF all the anti arguments we ever
heard we prefer that advanced the other

Gilbert Dupre.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-02

Later, on June Z, in the course Of the
debate, he said
IF my wife should 90 off campaign

with the housemaid, should think that

But if Mrs. Dupre went away only to
take care of sick relative, the position
of the housemaid would be equally UNI
fortunate.
When Senator Wadsworth's regiment
was ordered to the Mexican border he
resigned his commission or the ground
that his presence in Washington was
more necessary.
The Senator is very likely right. We
have no criticism to make of his action.

In Anti-Suffrage Notes No. 107 we
read that Iowa suffragists, like their
sisters in all the other campaign states.

But in Anti-Suffrage Notes No. 107
we read that Iowa is a prohibition
state, so the fangs of the liquor interests
were drawn, and there were no saloon
keepers to work against suffrage
The fact is that sixteen counties in
Iowa which were wet up to the first Of
