TWELFTH EPISODE
"For the Flag"

When Liberty escaped from Lopez
and his band she started in the direc-
ton of the rangers camp. The night
was black, and she had to pick her
way carefully.
Her thoughts were Of Rutledge. She
knew he needed her. When she left
him he wanted her to go, to save her.
self. He was wounded, too. She
hated Manuel to the depths of her
very soul. His efforts to win her af.
lection had been brutal.
These are the thoughts which oc-
cupied her mind as she rode along the
road. The greatest thing in the world,
Liberty believed, was a real man. She
knew Rutledge to be one. Love pro-
tects; it does not destroy. A man like
the ranger could command the respect
and admiration of most any woman I;
man like Manuel would encourage
woman to dislike the rest of his sex.
Rutledge loved her for herself Man
uel cared nothing for her, but wor-
shipped her riches.
In the meanwhile, Lopez had sent
men out to search for Liberty and
Pedro. Two of them took the northern
trail, leading through the Chihuahua
foothills where Major Winston was
encamped with his troops, and two
others started for the desert country
where Lopez had left Rutledge and his
company of rangers to die of starva-
ton and thirst.
Alvira, who had remained with a
company of insurrectos far behind
Lopez and his men, came that night
to visit his murderous cheftain. With
him he brought several of his men,
dragging several beautiful Mexican
girls behind them. The men in the
camp knew as soon as they saw their
commander approaching that he had
come to hold another drunken orgy
with Lopez.
AS soon as he entered the tent of
Lopez that individual came out and
gave instructions to some of his men
TO fetch them all the fowls, wines and
fruit to be found In that section and
prepare genuine feast for himself
and his visitors.
The men dared not disobey, for they
knew it would mean certain death.
They had seen what had happened to
some of their comrades who had dared
TO hesitate at this brute's command
and the buzzards knew too; for these
men had been shot In their tracks and
their bodies left where they dropped.
Realizing this, his men usually went
out on these expeditions intent on re-
turning well rewarded. If anyone at
tempted to interfere with an insur-
recto he regretted It soon after, for
they would not only take what food
he had, but more often would COMPEL
his daughter to come along with them.
These feasts, held by Alvira and
Lopez compared well with those of
the tyrant Greaser. After they had
eaten for hours, the wine would be
brought to them. Some of the most

incott Company sl.25.
Artists, nurses, wives, husbands,
mothers, fathers, men and women
whom we know, in their loves and sac
rifices, in their yearnings and dis
appointments, are the subjects OF
these stories. They are subtle, but
convincing; they are serious, but en-
trancing. The author, with an
amazing delicacy, and too rare ar
tistry, has carried on with distinction
the splendid tradition of the Ameri-
can short story. All who have an
appreciation of this fascinating lit
erary form will find in Ten Beautiful
Years" feast for the imagination,
fund of stimulating enlightenment.

This is the story of very modern
young woman in revolt against the re-
strictions which bound woman in the
past. lmbued with an extremely frank
and truthful nature, she sometimes
unintentially offends, but her natu-
rally sweet, frank nature triumphs in
the end. Believing in woman's suf-
frage and the rights of women to be
free to do as men do, she makes the
proposal OF marriage and is rejected,
but in the end finds possibly a bet
ter fate than the one that had seemed
all to be desired.

THE GIRL AT BIG LOON POST. BY
George Van Schaick, Boston. Small
Maynard q Co. sl.S6.
A deeply moving story of great
north woods, of life and love at a
Hudson Bay trading post of Chi
canery and intrigue of bravery and de-
votion. The author knows his coun-
try and few riters can compete with
him as story teller in his chosen
field. Like his previous books, the
new novel is marked by an unaffect-
ed sincerity-which adds zest to the
readers pleasure. 1t is a remarkable
story of sincere love between two
people of entirely different race
the white man and the Indian maiden.

readers interest to the ultimate sat
