without knowing it.. We soon sight
ed, as dawn approached, the timber
on the Missouri. Our team was about
done up, and was left with the driver
to come on after giving them a feed.
Taking an axe to cut claim stakes
we made across the loWland for the
timber. About the time our stakes
were prepared, in the dim light, we
saw a team approaching, and soon
discovered it to be our team. The
driver was standing up, lashing his
running horses and shouting at the
top of his voice: "The Land Grabbers
are coming! The Land Grabbers are
coming!" They were soon discover.

We hustled into our rig with the
stakes, and with the ever ready engi-
neers red chalk we each inscribed
our name and our claim of the ground
for one-half square Ca squatter's
right in different directions from a
common point, making four claims,
thus securing us an area of one mile
square.
The Land Grabbers overlook us a
half mile from the point of timber,
as we were ascending the bench. We
jumped from our rig and set up our
already marked stakes, and the
ground was ours. Major Wood, fol-
lowing some emphatic conversation,
knocked our stakes down. All were
fully armed, and as we were six
against three, we replaced the stakes
and the controversy ended.
Our camp and Lieut.. Cairns moved
in. Together we located on the knob

children give prompt Endorsement
to these handsome novelties in pushes,

selves inspire an enthusiasm for the
material. They have the charm of
beauty and novelty and they are dura-

A handsome coat for a miss of
eleven or so is pictured here. 1t Is
in dark brown, flecked with white. AS
in coats for grownups it is cut on
simple lines with straight-hanging
front and the body set rather close
to the figure. 1t is long enough to

novelty fabrics must be plain, and

MIR. Brown OF New York.
In another moment slight, wiry
man, well along in the thirties, came
breezily into the room. The first glance
told that he was an American. His
nervous alertness, his assurance, the
slightly slouchy but nevertheless ag-
gressive manner in which he held HIM
self, differentiated him Enthusiastically
from the other men in Ethel's sitting
room.
Guy rose to greet him. He had in
vited the American to join the party,
for Guy was almost like one Of Sir
Georges family.
"Hello, Chariiev' he exclaimed with
undoubted enthusiasm.
And straightway he introduced the
newcomer to Ethel Willoughby, to
whom, as hostess, Guy infallibly turned
first.

asked him then.
"You bet I dor' Mr.. Brown said
heartily as he shook hands with that
smiling lady. Didn't we have bully

"Rather!" Mrs. Falconer replied;
and they both laughed over their remi-
niscence.

bowed pleasantly enough. And toward
Sir George he displayed the utmost af-
liability.

said as he gripped his hand. II want

repeated in a somewhat bewildered
fashion. He had met many words,
during his short stay in London, that
he had never before encountered in
the English language.
But his quick mind was not long at
fault. "Oh, sure! Kidding-that's it,!
But, Sir George, don't blame

SYNOPSIS.

Georgy wagstaff, daughter of Sir
George of the British admiralty, hints at
= liaison between her governess, Ethel
Willoughby, and Henry Streetman. Ethel
denies it. Henry Streetman calls on Ethel

ter, Sir Georges butler, who Is a German
spy, about his failure to get at admiralty
papers in Sir Georges possession. He
phones to German secret service head
quarters. Streetman, the German spy. and
Roeder (alias Brewster, the butler) are
discussing the possibility of war. When
Ethel appears he tries to force her to get

CHAPTER Iv-contInued.

'You really ought to see the play,
Sir George" the irrepressible Guy re-
marked. He was always ready to
back up Georgy in any deviltry she
might embark upon.
Eyes! 1t deals with our next war"
that young lady added.
"As if a playwright knew anything
of thatr' her father scoffed.
''It's horribly insulting to US Brit
ons," Mrs. Falconer remarked.
Drives In lot of home truths and
gives us English a fearful raggingw
Guy added cheerfulIy.
Sir George looked at him somewhat
suspiciously.
"Who wrote 1t? Bernard Shawn"
he inquired. And there was much re-
proof in his tone. To him, Shaw was
like red rag to bull.
II don't know who wrote It,"
Georgy said carelessly. 81 never can
remember the beasts Names
''It seemed to me to present very
striking picture of what may very
likely happen" Henry Streetman in
terposed.
Mrs. Falconer turned to him in as
Constituent She did not think that
anyone in his senses could have taken
that silly play seriously.
"You don't mean you really believe
there is going to be war right over
there on the continent?" she exclaimed
II do, rather! And 1 fancy Sir
George agrees with NEEDN'T you,
Sir George?" the willy Streetman ven
tured. He was determined that if he
did not succeed in forcing Sir Georges
hand he would at least give him a
run for his money
Sir George looked bored.
Really, sir, should prefer not to
discuss that matter" he said once
more.
Georgy laughed gayly.
"When father puts on his mantle
Of dignity like that, it means serious
business she observed. And there
was deal of truth in her statement,
frivolous as she seemed. But Georgy
was no fool. She had not lived with
her father close upon eighteen years
for nothing. She knew unerringly
how to interpret his every manner.
But why should there be war, even
If an Austrian duke did get killed by
some Serbian or other?" Mrs. Fal-
coner asked. "Of course I've only
seen the headlines" she FASTENED to
add, to disclaim any such plebeian
pastime as the reading of newspapers.
Behind that assassination there Is
much of international politics and di-
plomacy," Sir George explained. "In
fact, it's rather long story"
Then, father, don't tell itp' his sar-
castle daughter bantered. Her plea,
however, was entirely superfuous. Sir
George had not the slightest intention
of committing such an indiscretion.
But Guy Falconer was ready enough
to air his opinions.
"Oh. it's not Just Austria and Ser
bia !" he said confidently. 1.-THE trouble
is that Germany is patting Austria on
the back, and whispering, Don't give
in. old lady! And Russia is saying,
Serbia, old girl, you're dead right,
Wen back you And there you arev'
"Georgy-you're not having any
tea" Ethel observed.
"0h! 1 don't want any. If did,
I'd ask for it." Miss Wagstan said
"Tea, mother?" Guy inquired of his
doting parent. Their discussion of
the subject uppermost in the minds of
all had driven even the important mat
ter of tea completely out of his mind.
''None for me, thanksF' Mrs. Fal-
coner replied. ''I've quite outgrown

States" The others looked aghast at
