dark as thunder-clouds in their gath
ering ferceness. She was like child, and
yet woman. A ferocious little person
ready to fight, ready to spring at him if
he approached. Her eyes neverleft his face.
IL won't go back!" she repeated. IL
won't!"
He was noticing other things about her.
Her moccasins were in tatters; her short
skirt was torn; her shining hair was in
tangles. AS she swept it back from her
face he saw under her eyes the darkness
of exhaustion; in her cheeks wanness
that he did not know then was caused by
hunger and by her tremendous struggle
to get away from something. On the back
of one of her clenched hands was deep
red scratch. The look in his face must
have given the girl some inkling of the
truth. She leaned little forward, quickly
and eagerly, and demanded:
didn't you come from the Nest?
Didn't they send you-after me?"
She pointed down the narrow valley,
her lips parted as she waited for his
answer, her hair rioting over her breast
as she bent toward him.
"Ive come fifteen hundred miles-from
that direction" assured David, swinging
an arm at the backward mountains. "I've
never been in this country before. don't
know where the Nest is or what it is.
And I'm not going to take you back to it
unless you want to go. If some one is
coming after you, and you're bound to
fight, I'll help you. Will that bear bite?"
He swung off his pack and put down his
gun. For a moment the girl stared at him
with widening eyes. The fear went out
of them slowly. Her hands unclenched,
and suddenly she turned to the big grizzly
and clasped her half barred arms about the
shaggy monsters neck.
tiara, Tara, it isn't one of them!" she
cried. at isn't one of them-and we
thought it was!"

hair, an amazing glory of tangled curls,
was wild in its disorder; she seemed pal
pitating with that wildness, like fawn
that had been run into a corner-no, not
fawn, but some beautiful creature that
could, and would, fight desperately if need
be. That was his impression.
He was undergoing smashing of his
conceptions Of this girl as he had visioned
her from the picture and readjustment
of her as she existed for him now. And
he was not disappointed. He had never
seen anything quite like this Marge
O'Doone and her bear. O'Doone! His
mind had harked back quickly, at her
mention of that name, to the woman in
the coach of the Transcontinental, the
woman who was seeking man of the
name of Michael O'Doone OF course
the woman was her mother. Her name,
too, must have been O'Doone.
Very slowly the girl detached herself
from her bear and approached until she
stood within three steps of David.
tiara won't hurt you, she assured him
again, sunless scream. He will tear you
to pieces then"
If she had betrayed a sudden fear at his
first appearance, it was gone now. Her
eyes were like rock violets, and again he
thought them the biuest and most fear
less eyes he had ever seen. She was less
child now, standing SO close to him.
Her slimness made her appear taller than
she was. David knew that she was going
to question him, and before she could
speak he asked:
aWhy are you afraid of some one COM
ing after you from the Nest, as you
call it?"
Because" she replied with quiet fear
lessness, II am running away from it,"
Running away!" he gasped. "How
long"
1.-TWO days."
He understood now-her ragged moe

She whirled on David with a sudden
ness that took his breath away. 1t was
like the swift turning Of bird.
"Who are you?" she flung at him, as if
she had not already heard his name.
@Why are you here? What business have
you going up thereto the Nest?"
II don't like that BEAR" said David
obviously, as the grizzly made a slow
movement toward him.
tiara won't hurt you" she said-"not
unless you put your hands on me and
scream. I've had him ever since he was
a baby, and he has never hurt any one
yet. But-he wiH!' Her eyes glowed
darkly again, and her voice had strange,
hard little note in it. "I've been-train-
ing him., she added. "Tell me, why are
you going to the Nest?'
1t was a point-blank, determined ques-
ton, with still hint of suspicion in it;
and her eyes, as she asked it, were the
clearest, steadiest, bluest eyes he had ever
looked into.
LIE was finding it hard to live up to
what he had expected of himself.
Many times he had thought of what he
would say when he found this girl, if he
ever did find her; but he had anticipated
something little more conventional, and
had believed that it would be quite the
easiest matter in the world to tell who he
was and why he had come, and to tell it
all convincingly and Understandings. He
had not, in short, expected the sort of
little person who stood there against her
bear-a very difficult little person to ap-
proach easily and with assurance, half
woman and half child.
She was not disappointing. She was
tremendously appealing. When he sur
veyed her in particularizing way, as
he did swiftly, there was an exquisteness
about her that gave him pleasurable
thrills. But it was all wild Even her

CHE was splendid as she stood there,
- an exquisite human touch in the
savageness of the world about her,
~ and yet strangely wild as she faced
David, protecting with her own quivering
body the great beast behind her. To
David, in the first immensity of his as
tonishment, she had seemed to be a
woman; but now she looked to him like
child, a very young girl. Perhaps it was
the way her hair fell in tangled riot of
curling tresses over her shoulders; the
slimness of her; the shortness Of her skirt;
the unfaltering clearness of the great blue
eyes that were staring at him; and, above
all else, the manner in which she had
spoken her name.
The bear might have been nothing more
than rock to him now, against which she
was leaning. He did not hear Baree's low
growing. He had travelled long way to
find her, and now that she stood there
before him in flesh and blood, he was not
interested in much else 1t was a difficult
situation. He had known her so long, she
had been with him so constantly, filling
even his dreams, that it was difficult for
him to find words in which to begin
speech. When they did come they were
most commonplace. His voice was quiet,
with an assured and protecting note in it.
"My name is David Raine, he said.
II have come a great distance to find you"
1t was simple and Unconditional state
ment of fact, with nothing alarming in it,
and yet the girl shrank closer against her
bear. The huge brute was standing with
out the movement Of a muscle, his small
reddish eyes fixed on David.
@Iwon't go back!" shesaid. "I'll-fght!"
Her voice was clear, direct, defiant.
Her hands appeared from behind her, and
her little fists were clenched. With a
swift movement she tossed her hair back
from about her face. Her eyes were as

ruler of Colorado espouses it, or for the same reason that the bosses tool Billy Sunday espouses it. That it makes the workers more effici- ent profit makers for the boss does not concern us at all-not a little bit. What is important is that it gives a man an unmuddled brain to face the issues on the job and the real facts of the class struggle that he will never see when seeking the bottom of beer glass or in the fn- version of facts found in the lifting of a whiskey glass.
 This were best done by the indi- vidual. We know that. But the individual faces perpetually the eff forts of the saloon to attract the man who otherwise would not will ingly drink. The saloon appeals to every thing that it is possible to ap- peal to from the sex to the social instinct, from gambling to com radeship. And for that reason there is small chance for the indi- yidual to exert an effort to avoid what he has been accustomed to in- dulge in.

Extensive financial aid for Mexico

The thrust that carried the French

The most sensational episode of
the session was the fight over the

warning Americans off armed mer-

notice it intended torpedoing them.

foreign policy, they brought the chief
executive and congress into sharp
conflict.
Leaders OF congress called on the

mand that they be tabled. Three or
four days passed while the fight was

Wilson's message urging a greater
