pushed through brush and branches,
and burst out on to the long, bald back
| of East mountain. Then came another
clear run over crisp sod dangerously
interspersed with wet, slippery stones
and hndering powders.
At the highest point in all the coun-
tryside Glen suddenly drew rein and
slipped from her horse before Alan
could reach her. She stood with one
arm across the saddle-horn and waited
for him.
Alan threw himself from his horse
and rushed up to her. His hands were
itching to grip her shoulders and shake
her. but he held them at his side.
"What did you do it for?" he asked
with blazing eyes.
Glenn looked him over coolly. "Ever
run after anyone before, Alan"
"What?' suffered Alan. He felt
foundations slipping from under him.
Here was person who could look Ten
Percent Wayne at his best in the eye
and never turn mental hair.
How do you like it?" continued
Glen in an even, firm voice. Then she
turned her square back to the saddle
and faced him fairly. 'I'll tell you
what did 1t for All my life I've been
running after you. Last night heard
you packing. I knew what you were
doing-you were getting ready to go
away. Before you went I wanted you
to run after me-just once. A sort
of consolation prize to pride"
Alan's face hardened. "Stop, Glen.
You can't talk like that to me and you
can't talk like that to yourself" He
| looked at Glen and the blood surged
into his neck and face. At that mo-
ment Glen was beautiful to him be-
yond the widest dreams Of fair
women.
Her right arm was still hooked
over the double horn of her saddle
and her left hand holding slim rid

vet lapels of her coat chung little drops
of rain. Her hair was braided and
firmly tied in double fold at the back
| Of her neck, but short strands had
escaped from durance and played
about her head. Her head, like the
velvet lapels, was busted with little
silvery drops of water and little drops
of water perched on her long, .upturned
lashes. Her cheeks were flushed, her
bosom agitated, her lips tremulous
Only her eyes were steady.

Illinois Stats Zeitung Answers the
Charges Made by Roosevelt in
His Detroit Speech.

Chicago, May 25.-The Illinois
Stats Zeitung publishes the following
in reply to the reference to that pa
per made by Theodore Roosevelt in
his speech at Detroit May 10:
The Illinois Stats Zeitung was at
tackled by Theodore Roosevelt in his
speech on May 10, 1916, in Detroit,
Mich, as printed in several New York
City newspapers, in the following
words: One of the great German
newspapers cannot call it Ger
man-American newspaper-the Hi
: nOis Stats Zeitung, has been engaged
in active propaganda on behalf of both
German militarism and American
pacifism. 1t applauds and advocates
Germany's embarking upon a career OF
military strength unconditional by
any other consideration and at the
same time backs the movement of the
extreme pacifists to keep the United
States impotent for self-defense.
That is false, Even at the risk
of being condemned to membership
in the Ananias club of 1911 we must
contradict the honorable ex-presidenI
! OF the United States.
THE Illinois Stats Zeitung never
endorsed any policy that tended to
| keep the United States impotent for
| self-defense.' 1t is a vile falsehoOd if
the colonel really said that the Hi
nois Stats Zeitung backs any move
ment for that purpose. We print in
| the American and Judge Lands of
( ( n ic fnr
our language the American instead OF
the English)-language every Sunday
! the principles Of the Illinois Staat
Zeitung. One OF the planks in that
! platform of principles is the national
| iZing of the manufacture of arms and
ammunition
| Perhaps the colonel sees in that
principle the move to keep our coun-
try impotent. We don't. We see in il
the move to save our taxpayers mil.
| lions of graft from the greed of ra-
pacious and dishonest ammunition
sellers.
! I'VE have repeatedly stated editor
| tally in both the American and Ger
| man languages, that we are for pre-
paredness and We explain what sort
! OF preparedness we favor. II the col

We favor preparedness in the public

ten exclusively by American-born cit
liens upon history and geography, by

I'VE don't know what a German

looks like We publish an American
newspaper in Chicago; it is printed
partly in the German and partly in
the American language. We don't
know what Mr.. Roosevelt means by a
German propaganda. We do know
that we have no connection with the
German government, nor with any for
eign government, but that we are in
dependent in finances as well as in
politics and therefore dare to answer
Mr. ROosevelt's attack in fearless
and truthful manner.
ITO be sure we praise the German
people for their military prepared
