To All Democrats:

The undersigned were appointed by
the National Democratic Committee
as Auxiliary Finance Committee, for
the City of Alexandria, and have re-
ceived an urgent request that We call.
upon all Democrats to help the cause,
Alexandria Democrats have thus
far done nothing.
We, therefore, call upon every
democrat in Alexandria and sur
rounding country to send US such
contribution as he or She can, wheth-
er large or small.
Send something, if only few
cents, and show your interest. We
will thankfully receive any aid
whether $100 or 10 cents.
Remember that this is big coun-
try and that there are many close
and doubtful states; and the Nation
al Committee must have large means
TO carry on successful fight.
The Republicans have large inter-
ests that contribute to their over
flowing treasury.
The Democrats must depend upon
voluntary offerings, and mainly upon
great number of small ones, to
make up their necessitous treasury.
Send your contribution to any mem
Der of the Committee, and, whether
It be large Or small please send at
once.
It is greatly needed.
This is call to women as well as
men. Respectfully,

And you start Tor West Africa to-
morrow"
Bransome felt that the question was
like an unwritten doom He looked
at Mary Starr In the moonlight as they
stood outside Colonei Starts conserv-
atory.
Bransome had knswn Mary for five
months. Colonel Starr. in whose regi-
ment he was now a captain, had taken
a liking to the young man when they
were posted in Malta, and had invited
him to his home in England. Now
Bransome, with the acting rank OF
major. was to leave for West Africa
to put down the rebellion of the Kru
tribe in the recesses Of the forests
And he loved Mary.
But he knew that she was engaged
to Lionel Travis, the political agent
among the Krus, who had made his
escape to the coast after sanguinarJ
fighting.
Yet they loved, and love was strong
er than honor at tnaL momenI' Ahol
gravitated toward each other, an'
stood looking at each other, not dar
ing to speak lest they betray them
selves.
IF / meet Travis" began Bran
some at length.
"Yes?" Her word was like a CO
ress.
What shall / tell him?"
Mary took the solitaire from he
finger. Give him this" she said sof
ly.
Bransome, incredulous, clasped ne
in his arms and their lips met. "Yo
love me, dearest?" he murmured.

when this cursed business was over.
Now we shall never marry. ! want
you to marry her, Bransome. You're
about the only man that's Mt for her
Bransome WINGED and tried not to
show the emotion on his features. But
Travis was too far gone to see any
thing except the face of Mary Starr
that fioated before him.

brush" Travis whispered. Il said !
had looked at her photograph and her
mementos again and again. / wanted
something else to bring her wildly
before my eyes. And she-she sent
me this. Nothing could have been
truer pledge of her love. A girl doesn't
like to part with her engagement ring,
Bransome."
NO." Bransome agreed.
And the irony of the situation struck
into his soul. Travis had lived In the
belief that his sweetheart was true
To him and he would die not knowing
what the return of the ring meant.
They buried him the following dawn
under a cairn of stones. And Bran
some, having done his duty to the dead,
allowed his thoughts to turn toward
the living. The past seemed obliter-
ated-at least it seemed to be sym
bolized in the gem that sparkled In
the dead hand under the damp son
of Africa.

rage that shall wrong Lionel and my
self, too"
Before Bransome departed It was
understood that they were engaged.
And Lionel Travis ring reposed in
Bransome's pocket to be handed to
the agent II they met. Bransome
would affect ignorance of the contents
of the little box. It was a cruel mis-
sion, but there was no way Of getting
q letter to Travis, who might be in
any part Of the coast.
Bransome sailed the following day,
and, fifteen days later, arrived with
his regiment at the coast town. All
the interior was in a ferment. The
regiment was sent up hastily to the
base, where 1t halted while the pio-
neers cut roads through the forest.
And 1t was there that Bransome met
Travis.
He was to accompany the column
as political delegate to the loyal tribes
The two men, who knew each other
greeted each other warmly, though
Bransome naturally showed something
of constraint. Travis lunched in the
mess, and they smoked their cigars
together afterward. When Travis rose
to depart to his quarters Bransomt
spoke of Mary Starr for the first time
"She asked me to give you this" h'
said. handing him the little box con
tanning the ring.
Thanks" said Travis indifferently
and slipped it into his pocket.
The column started day or tw'
later, Travis accompanying it. Otter
the men exchanged words. Bransom
would look curiously at Travis, but h
could gather nothing from the agent
inscrutable countenance.
There was, however. little time 70

sand refugees, including four Ameri-
cans, arrived in Juarez last night from
Chihuahua and the district around

famine conditions prevail around Tor
reon and that the civil population

not oppose the Americans. .." n
Americans in the party are George
