When Glen and Alan reached home
long after the lunch hour they found
the Hill athrilI with news. Alix had
received cable and had left at once
for town. She had gone alone. That
could mean but one thing-Gerry was
at last coming back.
1t was from Barbados that Gerry
had cabled. Ever since he had written
his short note to Alix. through long
doubling weeks at Piranhas and longer
days of questioning and hesitation on
board the slow freighter that was
bearing him home. Gerry had been
fighting himself Only Lieber's sudden
death and his burial. to which Gerry
had ridden post-haste. had come In be-
tween as solemn truce.
On the freighter he had had time
enough and to spare to think. He had
spent hours going over the same
ground time and time again. For days
he sat in his chair on the short bridge
deck, staring out to sea, making over
and over the circle Of his life from the
time he had left home. He remem-
bered sitting thus on the way out He
remembered the turmoil his mind had
been in and the apathy that had fol-

stand for? Again he thought, if he
could choose-would he wish to be

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 hindering 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.
Glen 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 a mental hair.
"How do you like TT" 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. knew what you were
doing-you were getting ready to go
away. Before you went wanted you
to run after me-just once. A sort
of consolation prize to pride"
Alan's face hardened. "Stop, Glenn.
You can't talk like that to me and you
can't talk like that to yourself" He

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 a slim rid
ing whip hung at her side. To the vel
vet lapels of her coat clung little drops
of rain. Her hair was braided and
firmly tied in a double fold ut 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
siIvery 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.
Alan took off his coat and threw 1t
over a rock. "Will you please sit down?
I must talk to you"
Glen strobe to another rock and sat
down. "You are absurd. Your coat
is as wet as the stones. Put 1t on"
Alan hesitated. Put your coat on"
Alan obeyed; then he sat down be- |

pressed at the news. Something has
been done, they say, and hopes are
entertained that the present steps will
be followed by more decided action.
The Daily Chronicle gives promi-
nence to a dispatch from it's New
York correspondence on the subject
of the American indignation over the
Belgian deportations and President
Wilson's inquiry in Berlin. The cor
respondent says:
president Wilson is now very much
awake, and Germany will outrage
American sentiment only at her i'm
m1nent peril. Germany may have
been long in realizing that President
Wilson's patience, while wonderfully
enduring, breaks before an insult or
injustice to the nation and is liable
to be followed by a diplomatic dis
turbance very i'll omened for the
nation provoking it.
IT am strongly Of the opinion that
a crisis is imminent. The American
horror at Germany's wholesale en-
slavement of her Belgium victims pro-
vokes r1uttered curses rather than
vehement denunc1ation, but there are
fires Of righteous wrathfulness that at
the breath of an appeal by the presi-
dent would burst into consuming
flames"

correspondent today obtained the fol-
lowing statement:
''Von Kissing follows the lead set
recently in an inspired article in the
Lokal Anzeiger, which was repub-
lished in The New York Times, but
only to a certain extent. He says that
in order to remedy conditions which
were becoming increasingly unbear-
able orders we're issued for the pur-
pose Of inducing unemployed Belgian
Workingmen to go to Germany volun-
tarily and to enforce the removal of
those who refused to work. The
Lokal Anzeiger denied that the COVER
nor general intended to oblige any
Belgian to work for Germany or
punish him if he refused to do so.
How shall we reconcile this with Won
Bissing's admission Of orders having
been given to enforce the removal of
those who refused to work and with
the fact that deportations to West
phalia have been made?''

BANK PRESIDENT
  TALKS T0 KIDS '' IN CITY SCHOOL
$. c. Alexander Discusses Thrift, and Gives Credit
 to Pine Bluff Women.

The flood conditions interfered ma terally yesterday with the Pine Bluff celebration of Thrift Fay, but not withstanding the handicaps. there was considerable interest shown in the matter here, and the indications are that every man. woman and child in the city had his or her interest aroused. to some extent at least.
 It had been intended at first to have an address made to the pupils of the High school. but as that institution is under suspension this week, this plan could not be carried out.
 President S. c. Alexander, of the Merchants & Planters bank, made an interesting and enjoyable talk to the little folk at the Sixth Avenue school, holding something of an informal re- ception before and after the talk, with the pupils.
 Mr. Alexander told the pupils he felt honOred to have the pleasure of talking to them, and praised them for the interest they were showing in Thrift Day.
 "This day we celebrate" he said, "is the centennial of the organization of the first savings bank in the Unit cd States. at Philadelphia, Pa, which was started in 1916. 100 years ago.
 "The first savings bank we know much about was organized near Lon don, England in 1902, by Miss Pris- cifla Wakefield" U
 Women First in Thrift.
 Turning to the boys, MT. Alexander asked:
 Do you knnow, that in our cona- try. and especially in our town, the girls or rather, the grown women. have shown so far the finest quali- ties of thrift"
 ''It was the women,'' he said. "who first agitated the laying of brick side walks in Pine Bluff It was the wo- men who brought about the laying of the sewers in Main street. so we could have general sewerage system for the city, It was the women who first agitated and really organized the cemetery highway, now one of our most beautiful streets. The women built the first hospital ill Pine Bluff
 "Now, boys," he admonished, "dont let the girls and the grown women run off with all of the honors. Com mence now. Do something about your, home. Help somebody, Don't beg papa for every dime you get. Work for it. Show your friends and associates that you are thrifty lead CT, and not a spendthrift follower"
 Big men, thrifty mem he said cultivate thrifty habits wheH young, {t~ in the good things of this. life. and when the trials and difficulties come, they are ready for them, in character as we'll as in purse."
 Hundreds of questions were put to MT. Alexander yesterday by young folk whom he had interested, and he was called upon scores of times to explain the meaning of thrift, as he understands it, to as many boys and girls.

Associated Charities Arranges for Committee to Distribute Cloth.
 ing Throughout Today.

Generous in high degree was the response yesterday, to the appeal for clothing for the flood sufferers, issued by the Associated Charities through The Graphic yesterday.
 A very large quantity of clothing was rendered the Charities, much of which was sent for and which Is now in the storeroom of the organization.
 Much of this clothing has has al- ready been distributed. Much more will be distributed today, arrange ments having been perfected for a committee of women to remain at the storeroom throughout today, ito care for those needing the clothing. The committee will be headed by Mrs. J. w. Martin. who is chairman of the clothes committee of the Associated Charities.
 Miss Julia Houston, secretary of the Charities, stated last night that there is still great demand for cloth ing. and the supply is not large enough to care for this demand. Els pecially is it t necessary to obtain clothing for women and children.
 Miss Houston announced that cloth ing which was not sent for yester- day will he collected by the Charities today, and that it is extremely desira- b1e that there be still more donations, because the Charities is making every effort to supply clothing to all the storm sufferers, in the city and the other nearby flooded points.
