| Staggering, Alagwa made her
way to Jacks side and sank down
beside him. Into his torn hunting
shirt she slipped her hand till 1t
lay above his heart.
No faintest throb rewarded her.
No culver of lip or eye negatived
the red wound upon his brow. ST.
lently her head fell forward.
Long Alagwa sat, staring into
the face of her dead. She knew
now, for once and ever more that
he was her dead, her9 hers, hers
alone. He was hers, her mate,
created for her by Gitchemanitou
the Mighty, foreordained for her
In the dim chaos out of which the
world was shaped.
And he was dead! Gently she
kissed his forehead, his eyelids,
his cheeks, his firm, bold mouth,
taking toll where she would,
brides kill and widows kiss in
one.
Suddenly his lips twitched and
his eyes opened. Bob" he NUT
tered.
Alagwa screamed. He was not
dead.
Alagwa Strengthened. She had
forgotten Cato. AnXiously she
looked about her. Then. abrupt
~, she started, stiffening like a
wild thing at sight OF the hunter.
Not a score of feet away sat
REito, clutching his wounded
side, glarlng at her with blood
shot eyes. Her hand fell to the
knife in her belt, and she gather
ed her feet beneath her, every
muscle tense, ready to spring.
The Englishman tried to meet
her eyes but his own dropped.
Then he began to edge himself
backward, eyes fixed on the girl.
Soon he reached the bushes that
concealed the steep river bank
and slipped out of sight.
Alagwa stared at the spot where
he had, vanished. Toward what
refuge he was striving she did not
know, but he could escape only
by water. Both the Auglaize and
the Maumee below the fort were
nayigable for small boats, and if
Brito and his comrades had come
in one, he might regain it and
float down the Maumee, posi-
bly, to safety.
Once more Alagwa remembered
the negro. She stood up and
looked about her.
Cato was lying face down where
he had fallen. Alagwa bent over
Cato. His posture, to her trained
eyes, spoke eloquently of death.
Hopelessly but determinedly she
rolled his body over and placed
her hand above his heart.
1t was beating, slowly but
strongly.
Amazed, the girl sprang up.
She raced to the river and back
again and poured the cooling wa
ter on his head, washing away the
blood that had run down his fore
head and had filled his eyes.
Instantly Cato gasped and she
dashed what was left of the wa
ter into his blood-streaked face.
The shock completed her work.
Intelligence snapped back into the
negro's eyes and he sat up.
Lord! Nasal he cried. Whats
done happen? Whar dem Injuns
go? Whar's Mars Jack?"

Four days later-for it took
twice as long to go from Fort De-
fiance to Fort Wayne as it had
taken to go from Fort Wayne to
Observation-Disclosures stood in Pc
ter Bondie's house in the room
that had served her for a night
watching with dumb, fear-filled
eyes as the surgeon from the fort
Strengthened up from his long in
spection of Jacks exhausted form.

to Alagwa. Come with me
jeune monsieur" said Famine
and you shall rest"
Without waiting for comment
the big French woman threw heI
arm around Alalgwa's shoulders
and hurried her into the house
and on into another room.
There she turned on the girl
holding~out her arms. "Ah, Ma
petite fille." she cried. "Think
you Famine did not know you
face OF that dear, dear Monsieur
Delaroche. All! non non, non!
All. But the men are of blind
ness. The wise young man he
search, and not know he have
found already"
Alagwa's heart melted. Sud
denly she realized the strain un'
der which she had been for the
last four days. With sob Of re-
lief she slipped into the French
woman's arms and wept her heart
out on the latter's motherly
bosom.
The latter soothed her gently
There! There! Pauvre bebee,
she murmured. Fear not! AL
will be right. But what has hap
pened that you are thus?" She
glanced at the girls masculine
attire. "Ah! But 1t must be the
great tale. Tell Famine about it
Tell your old nurse, who adores
you!"
Between sobs Alagwa obeyed
pouring out the tale of all tha
had befallen her since the day
when Capt. Brito had sought hel
out. She held back only the rea
object with which she had come
into the American lines.
"But ma cherie," the French
woman interrupted. why do you
not tell him who you are?"
The girl shok her head in panic
"Oh! No! Mo-" she cried.
The French woman chuckled
And the wise young man doe!

How the girl got through din
ner she never knew. After 1t
when Major Stickney returned
bringing Capt. Wells, she pleaded
fatigue and left him and Jack tt
talk with each other and with thu
men in the hotel, while she slip

Noiselessly-as noiselessly as

ests-Alagwa rose from her bed
and slipped to the door. Slowly
she crept to the entrance to the
big bar room. Foot by foot she
pressed onward till the door was
at her hand. Through 1t she
stepped out beneath the midnight
sky.
Swiftly she slipped through the
grass to the shadow OF a nearby
tree. Then, raising her head, she
gave the soft cry of the whip.

BULL MOOSE PARTY DIES-T. R.
BOOSTERS KILL 1T
The Bull Moose party is dead
killed by the man that created it,
Theodore Roosevelt. Yesterday.
George Perkins, Bill Finn and jim
Garfield did the embalming and the
erstwhile national committeeman
made tracks out of Chicago, sadder,
but wiser men.
Bainbright Colby tried to have Vic
tor Murdoch named for president
This brought on a clash between him
and Raymond Robins, who accused
Colby of already being pledged to
Wilson. Robins is also going to the
Democrats but said he didn't want a
third ticket merely to defeat Hughes.
Colby said that Robins lied. Muir
dock was defeated 81 to Is.
Hughes was finally endorsed by a
vote Of 80 to 6, nine not voting and
three being absent.
A resolution, demanded by the radi-
Gals, was put through which does not
bind the rank and file of the Bull
Moosers to the action of the com
mittee
Immediately after adjournment
George Perkins, Bill Finn, Jim Gar
field and the other Hughes leaders
went into secret session. It is be-
Heved they were discussing the
names of ex-MoOsers who will be as
signed to work with the Hughes
campaign committee.
One committeeman said he be-
ieved that as a result of the deal
framed by Perkins" at least 40 per
cent of the Progressive vote would
go to Wilson.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN LOEB
FIGHT DUE TODAY

This is the day of days for school
teachers of Chicago. At 2p. m. Judge
Denis Sullivan will decide whether
or not to grant an injunction restrain
ing the school board from putting the
Jake Loeb rule into effect.
At 8 p. m. the school board meets.
If Judge Sullivan does not grant the
injunction, over 1000 teachers will
be dropped on order of Jake Loeb
If the injunction is granted the teach
eTs who are to be the victims will not
know their fate for two or three
months. 1t will take that long for
an appeal to be heard.
Atty w. K Holly, representing the
taxpayers who are seeking to re-
strain the school board, made the d.
rect charge before Judge Sullivan
yesterday that the overthrow of the
merit rule was a spite action by Jake
Loeb to wreak vengeance on the Chi
cagO Teachers Federation.
'If the board is allowed to enforce
the Loeb rule" he said, approx
mately 1 800 teachers will be thrown
out of employment. They will be IN
lawfully discharged. The result will
be lawsuits that will cost the county
thousands of dollars"
Angus Roy Shannon, representing
the school board, angered the court
by an assertion that the teachers
were creating an atmosphere" to in
fuence the decision of the Judge.
The Chicago Methodist ministers
at their weekly meeting yesterday
approved the Jake Loeb rule. The
report was signed by Allison F. Clark,
w. S. Fleming, A. T. Stephenson, B,
E. Evans and r. S. Hyde.
