MANY INTERESTING SIGHTS
FOR LAYMEN AT KING. CAN'T

History is in the making at Paw
nee Flats of the Fort Riley reser-
walton. There three thousand men
and boys Of Kansas, her pride, have
gathered from the field, off the
farm, from behind the counter and
away from the desk. The Kansas
national guard is modified there in
a camp of brown tents, city which
sprang from the grass over night
and is ready to entrain, on orders
from Uncle Sam within six hours.
They will board the trains and go
to Mexico to aid in implanting in
the minds Of the ignorant poems the
lesson of sobriety, respect and toll
erance.
Sunday Kansas was justly proud
Of her boys and five thousand of
her residents flocked on trains and
in motor cars to the camp once
again to greet and bid adieu to the
son sweetheart, fiancee, father and
brother. The khaki-clad mingled
with the civilian and it was a day
of Joy and tears.
Members of companies from the
towns of central Kansas had many
visitors but in the tents Of company
rows from distant towns there was
found the homesick youth, lonesome
and bearing up bravely in his un-
happiness. All are anxious to start
for the border as there there will
be no more parting scenes. Many
so longed for home that they loath-
ed any emotional song or suggestion

The Window.

Though they left New York not long
after three in the afternoon, twilight
was fast ebbing into night when Ember
gave the motor its head. Its head
lights Glove path through darkness,
like a splendid sword; on either hand
woodlands and desolate clearings
blurred into dark and rushing walls;
only the wonderful wilderness of stars
remained imcerturbable.
Whitaker, braced against the jolting,
snatched begrudged mouthfuls of air
strong of the sea. He had no very def
mite idea of their whereabouts, having
neglected through sheer Indifference to
question Ember, but he knew that they
were drawing minute by minute closer
to the Atlantic.
After some time the car slowed to
palpitant-pause. Ember jumped out
to open a barred gate, then, returning,
swung the car into a clear but narrow
woodland road. mine own domain"
he informed Whitaker with laugh.
"Nowo we're shut of the world en-
tirely."
Whitaker bent forward, inquiring:
"Where are we?"
almost there. Patience"
Whitaker reckoned idly that they
must have threaded good two miles
of woodland, when at length the car
emerged upon clearing and immedi-
ately turned aside to the open doorway
of miniature garage.
The forest hemmed the clearing on
three sides; on the fourth lay water.
A hundred yards distant the lighted
windows of a one-story structure shone
pleasantly through a scattering planta-
ton of pine.

"You still believe that he's alive?"
Implicitly" Ember asserted with
conviction.
"Could you find him, If necessary Z"
'Within day, 1 think. Do you wish

Ember permitted Whitaker to con-
slider the matter in silence for some
moments. Then, "Do you want ad-

"WelI?"
"Hunt him down and put him behind
the BARS" said Ember instantly.
! "What's the good of thatY"
"Your personal safety"
"How?"
"With you out of the way, he could
come back without fear"
Ember permitted another pause to
lengthen, unbroken by Whitaker.
'Shall try to find him for your" he
said quietly, in the end.
NO" Whitaker decided. "No. Let

Ember disclaimed further RESPONSE
bility with movement of his Shout

"But my wife? Could you find her
as readily?"
Possibly" the detective admitted
cautiously. "But don't mean to-"
"Why not?"
principally because she doesn't want
me to. Otherwise she'd let you know
where to look for her."
"True.''
These fragments of dialogue are
from a conversation that took place in
the month of June, nearly seven weeks
after the farewell performance at the
Theatre Max. Interim, Whitaker had
quietly resumed his place in the life
of the town, regaining old friendships,
renewing old associations. The mild
excitement occasioned by his reappear-
ance had already subsidized; he was
again an accepted and substantial fac
tor in the society of his kind.
Gradually he began to know more
hours of loneliness than suited his
tastes. His rooms-the old rooms over
looking Bryant park regained and re-
furnished much as they had been six
years before-knew his solitary pres
ence through many a long evening.
July came with blistering breath and
