CHAPTER Nv.

Two days later, about the middle of
the forenoon, Duane dragged the two
horses up the last ascent Of an exceed
ingly rough trail and found himself on
top of the Rim Rock, with a beautiful
green valley at his feet, the yellow
sluggish Rio Grande shining in the
sun, and the great, wild, mountainous
barren of Mexico stretching to the
south.
Duane had not fallen in with any
travellers. He had taken the likeliest
looking trail he had come across,
Where it had led him he had no tha
slightest idea, except that here was
the river. and probably the inclosed
valley was the retreat OF some famous
outlaw.
No wonder outlaws were safe In that
wild refuge! Duane had spent the last
two days climbing the toughest and
most difficult trail he had ever seen.
From the looks Of the descent he imag-
ined the worst part OF his travel was
yet to m Not improbably It was
1000 feet down to the river. The wedge
shaped valley. green with alfalfa and
cottonwood, and nesting down amid
the bare walls Of yellow rock, was a
delight and q relief to his tired eyes.
Eager to get down to a level and to
And g place to rest, Duane began the
descent.

General Mackensen.
Alfred G. Gardiner. in the Atlanti

VI. loAi1 II lac tAlldIlliC.
1t is. l believe, true to say that no
campaigns in connection With the war
are being studied by the military ex-
perts with so much attention as those
of Mackensen. Like Hindenburg, Kluck,
Bulow, and most OF the German gener-
ais, he is nearer 70 than go. He won
the Iron cross in the war of 1870, and
the Iron cross was relatively a much
less familiar reward then thar now. 1t
really indicated work of rare Individual
courage which is not necessarily the
case today. Indeed, there are few
things more significant of Inc change
which has come over the temperament
of Prussi than the contrast between
the parsimonv with which decorations
were given in 1870 and the lavishness
with which they We're given in the
early phases of the present war. Unlike
Hindenburg, Mackensen is a man of
silent, almost morcse habit. 1t is pop
ularly attributed to the blow which the
loss of a much loved wife inflicted on
him, but it is in reality the natural hab-
it Of a ~singularly absorbed and self
contained character His brevity of
speech is the expression of a ruthless
temper, and in the severity of the de-
mands he makes on all who come under
his iron will. as well as in his cold and
concentrated silence, he is reminiscent
OF Lord Kitchener. Miracles have been
performed by soldiers and civilians
alike during his advances, not because
of the affection they nave for him, but
because of the fear of his merciless
hand.

First Blew to German Prestige.

From "The Diplomacy of the Great War;"
by Arthur Billiard. Macmillan.
1t is probable that the trend of Bel
GUM away from Germany and towards
friendship with France and England dated
from the Algeciras conference, 1906.
But a more tangible symptom of the
new state of things in Europe was given
by the International comedy of the Span
tsh marriage. For a long time European
princes had been in the habit of marrying
German princesses. Young Alfonso had
been feted from one end of the empire to
the other, he had passed in review the
royal Gretchens of all the courts of the
Deutschland. And when he returned to
Madrid and wrote his bread-and-butter
letters Of thank for all their lavish hos
pitality he announced his engagement to a
niece Of King Edward. A prince of the
house Of Hapsburg preferred an English
girl! German women are among the
things listed as ''uber allies in the famous
song. Not long afterwards a Norwegian
prince, followed the example Of Alfonso
and chose an English bride German
prestige was falling.

Italy Accusing Germany.

A strong demand has arisen in
the press and among the public
of Italy for cancellation of the
agreement between Italy and
Germany, whereby the rights of
citizens of each country within
the others domain were to be
respected. Violation of the
agreement by the Germans is al
legged in Rome. The situation is
such that the relations between
the two nations have reached a
greater tension than at any time
since the war begun.
No state of war exists be-
tween Germany and Italy and
the agreement negotiated by
Prince Won Buelow still is in
force. Italy, according to off,
cial opinion, has faithfully OBJ
served the agreement, refrain
ing from touching German prop
erty and freely all owing subjects
of the German empire to reside
there.
On the other hand, Germany
is accused, unoficially, of violat-
ing the agreement in depriving
Italians in Germany of their lib
erty of action, preventing Ital-
ians of military age residing in
Belgium from leaving the coun.
try, suspending payments due
Italians and treating them as
subjects of a hostile power. Ac-
cordingly demand is now being
voiced for abrogation of the
agreement.

girl of Steelton, Pa, for whom
he had been searching IA years.
Voskuhl met the girl of his
dreams when she was Is and he
was a petty officer on liner ply
ing between Germany and the
United States. The girl, whose
mother had died, was on the way
to Steelton to live with her I'M
Gle, Otto Dehner, a brewer.
The boy and girl became en-
gagged, but the stern old German
uncle refused to countenance the
match and wheu his niece insist
ed that she would wed Voskuhl,
he sent her to other relatives in
Germany and refused to give the
young officer her address.
Believing Miss Dehner's love
affair dead, the uncle sent fol-
her again and she has been vi
ing with him for ten years. Re.
Gently she saw her lovers name
and wrote to him. The wedding
followed.

DOES 1T PAY
TO BE SICK2

Let's forget about all the disagreeable
and painful part of sickness, and ask our
selves if it PAYS to be sick.
Perhaps you are only HALF sick
maybe you are dragging yourself around,
with dead tired" feeling. Perhaps you
wake up in the morning with heavily
coated tongue, bad taste in your mouth,
and hardly any appetite. Quite likely
you are bilious. Maybe you have dull
aches and pains, CONSTIPATION, head
aches.
You go about your daily duties. You
tell yourself you will feel better tomorrow
but when tomorrow comes you feel just
about the same. You try this and that
remedy, without getting real relief. Or

this half-sick condition. Think of all the
ENJOYMENT of life you are missing:

your senses are dulled and your brain

Distressing Conditions

AS showing that the newspaper
and printing business is facing
conditions that are distressing
and necessitate an increase OF
prices for products of the indus
try, the following extract from a
letter from a wholesale paper
house is published:
"This is a very trying time in
the paper business. After great
many years spent in this line the
writer has never seen conditions
as they are now.
"There is a growing scarcity of
materials that go into the manu-
facture Of paper that has become
alarming, rags that have hereto
fore found their way into the pa
per mills are bringing enormous
prices from munition plants, as
also are certain chemicals neces-
sary in the making of all kinds of
paper. There is no importation
of raw materials, as heretofore
on the other hand the mills have
faced a very large export bust
ness, which all tends to make
prices go higher.
"The question of price is not
the only thing to worry over, the
inability of mills to supply stock
promptly at this time is a source
of great worry to all paper deal
ers."
