NINTH EPISODE.
A Daughter of Mars.

Liberty now had two weapons, the
guards rifle and the revolver she had
found under the blanket. The sight of
Lopez and Manuel laughing as they
talked beside the cases of ammunition
gave her an idea.
Slowly she raised the rifle between
the bars of the cell window and pulled
the trigger.
A tremendous explosion followed as
the bullet struck a case of dynamite.
Lopez and Manuel were buried beneath
mountain of sand. Attracted by the
mysterious explosion, a hundred sol
diers came running to their aid.
They helped carry Lopez into the
hut which he made his quarters.
"A few bad cuts, but otherwise neith-
err OF them are seriously injured" re-
marked the surgeon after cursory
examination.
A half mile from the explosion Pedro
and Rutledge lay snuggled behind a
sand mound.
That's strange" remarked Rut-
ledge. II was just drawing a bead on
~A's P'AS VI NuoCS WlltH uD SHE Went.
Bob and Pedro had tethered their
horses to a sturdy cactus not far from
where they lay hidden.
Il guess we had better get back to
the horses" remarked Rutledge. "They
will be investigating soon, and we don't
want to be caught without our
mounts"
Upon reaching the top of the next
sand knoll Rutledge made a disheart-
ening discovery. Their horses were

Nov we are up against it." declared
Rutledge savagely.
The Mexicans, never suspecting that
Liberty had fred the shot which blew
up their ammunition, had now sepa-
rated into bands and were securing
the surrounding desert for the Ameri-
cans whom they suspected Of being
In the vicinity. Two of Lopez horse
men topped the rise a hundred feet
from Rutledge and Pedro.
Pedro and Bob hurrie6lly scurriedf
across the sand and without waiting
moment jumped to the backs of the |
horses. The two Mexicans cried out in |
fright as the Americans sprang up be-
hind them. Pedro, with his superior |
strength, was able to grasp his man
with strangle hold which prevented |
the latter from putting up a fight, but |
Rutledge had his hands full. His man |
turned upon him savagely, whipping |
out his knife at the same moment.
A terrific struggle followed. The
Mexican succeeded in reaching his re-
volver after Rutledge had wrenched |
his knife from him. Before Rutledge |
could prevent him the Mexican had |
fred a warning shot, which attracted |
the attention of the Mexicans in the |
valley.
Some miles farther on Pedro's Mex
lean also began to show fight. The wiry
young scout made short work Of him,
however.
Bob now realized that 1t was his life
against the Mexican's, and when the
latter, after firing a shot to attract
his fellow bandits, turned the barrel
on him, Rutledge shot without hesita-
ton and ducked as the Mexican's bull
let whizzed by his head. The Next
can dropped dead.
Using the bandits body as a shelter.
Bob now turned his attention to the
Mexicans who were drawing in upon
him.

WOMEN MARCH ON
 i. DENOMINATION
Present Resolution Asking for
 Suffrage Plank in Platform

Chicago, June 7-The outstanding feature of suffragist activity today centered in the parade of about 20,- 900 women to the Coliseum to present to the republican national convention the resolutions adopted by the Ma tional American Woman Suffrage as sociation, asking that a plank be put in the republican platform favoring the enfranchisemen of women. AL though the parade is in charge of the National Woman Suffrage asso- citation, the congressional Union for Woman Suffrage will participate. Suf- fragists from all parts of the United States came here for the demonstra- ton.
 The resolutions asking for the suf- frage plank are to be carried at the head of the parade and into the Col iseum by four women, one from each of the corner states of the union
 Yesterdays heavy rain and showers this morning caused the issuance of the statement rom suffrage hadquar- ters that the parade will be held without regard to the weather. The weather prediction for today is for showers, followed by fair weather.
 The program for the National Wo- man Suffrage asso ociation for today calls for a continuance of the as- sembly at the Princess theater. The Congressional Union for Women Suf- frage also will resume it's sessions at the Blackstone theater, with a meet ing of committees.
 Attempts to prevent the insertion of a suffrage plank in the republican platform will be made by the Nation al Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage which has appointed a com mittee to protest against the intro duction of the issue before the con- vention, according to Mrs. Arthur Dodge of New York.
 Mrs. Dodge, president of the anti suffrage forces with two members of the association will appear before the resolutions committee to protest against the mention of Twoman suf- frage in the party platform.

TRY ID DETERMINE
 H0LLWEG'S POWER
Attempt Being Made to Displace German Chancellor

Berlin, June 5, via London, June '. Masks were dropped in the Reich stag today as the Imperial Chancellor had requested, when the spokesman of the Conservatives, Count Friedrich Won Westarp, plainly avowed the party's opposition to the Chancellor's policies. While disclaiming responsi- bilty for the particular anonymous pamphlets which the Chancellor had cited, Vount Won Westrap declared that this and similar outbursts repre- sented a great popular movement which the Imperial Chancellor has ig- nored.
 Dr. Spahn, leader of the center party; Herr Won Payer. progressive, and Dr. Gradnauer socialist, support ed the chancellor in his campaign against "the pirates of public opin- ion.' Herr Won Payer declared the aim of the movement evidently was the fall of Dr. Won Bethmann-Holl- veg, and the suspicion was justified that the movement had the support bers of the Reichstag.
 The policies of the imperial chan cellor under fire have to do with the attitude of Germany toward the United States and peace. Dr. Spahn said:
 "The explanations of the imperial chancellor and the minister of for efgn affairs Herr Won Jagow, on the Zeppelin and submarine questions have treasured me. Our relations with America must not be broken on account of the submarine issue"
 Count Won Westrap declared his uncompromising opposition to Presi- dent Wilson as @ peace mediator. But the chancellor's speech disposed of this subject, he asserting that he had not the slightest official intimation of any projected American mediation.

SALADS A LITTLE Different
Two Unusual Ones and TWO Good
Dressings to Be Served
With Them.

Fruit Salads.--For fruit salads any
apple goes well with canned or fresh
white cherries and bananas; seeded
white grapes or canned peaches with
oranges may be added as desired.
Dressing for Fruit Salad.--This is an
excellent dressing for fruit salads
where mild but well-favored dressing
is needed:
IOiles of two eggs, two tablespoon
fuls OF butter q scant half cupful of
sugar, two tablespoonfuls each Of vim
egar and lemon juice, two teaspOOnfuls
of olive Oil, one teaspOonful Of salt, one
teaspoonfuI of mustard (ground) and
pinch of red pepper. Cream the but
ter and sugar together; add the beaten
eggs and other ingredients. Cook in
double boiler until thick. Keep in a
cool place and, when ready to use, add
one-half cupful of whipped cream.
Another salad dressing for fruit calls
for two eggs, one-quarter cupful each
Of lemon juice and sugar. Beat the
eggs, add the other ingredients and
cook in q double boiler, stirring con-
silently until the dressing commences
to thicken. Cook and pour over sliced
fruit, any combination desired.
Frozen Cream Cheese SaIad.-Add a
half cupful of cream to two cream
cheeses and stir to a smooth paste.
Season with salt, paprika and little
lemon juice, then turn into freezer
and freeze slightly. Remove, pack in
a brick-shaped mold and cover for two
hours with ice and salt. Then slice
and serve on lettuce leaves with a
French dressing.

Shorteninu Bird Season.

Pennsylvania is the latest Of the
states to take up the question Of short
err open seasons on game birds, and
good reasons for curbing the activities
Of hunters are presented in a statement
of the game commission now being sent
to individuals and sporting associa-
tons.
Birds are being exterminated under
the present laws, and the remedy pro-
posed is in restricting the season to
one month and changing the date until
the birds are full grown and better
able to take care of themselves.
What particular hardship would
there be in ordering a close season for
two, three or five years and then seeing
that the law is rigidly enforced? Quail
and other game birds need more pro-
lection than the existing laws have
given them, and Il all the states would
agree upon an adequate program Of
conservation the country would be
benefited by the saving Of the food
products now destroyed by insects

FIRELESs COOKER Is BOON
Continuance Which Will Prove Big Aid
to the Housewife Can Be Made
With Little Trouble.

Dread of long cooking processes
renders the fireless cooker desirable
to the housewife in the cooler seasons
as we'll as during hot weather.
The following will be found to an
swer the purpose. A candy pail or
butter tub makes the outside. Inside
this is fitted galvanized pail leaving
a two-inch space. The intervening
space should be filed with ground
cork, shavings, sawdust, or even chaff.
The cover of the candy pail should be
built downward and also filed with
the insulating material. A second
cover Is fitted just below the rim of
the galvanized pail extending to the
sides of the wooden bucket. This COW
ers up the insulating material. It
may be made of wall-board or thin
wood.
Cooking vessels can be purchased
at almost any hardware store at Il
small cost. 1t is usually found best
to use one stone below the cooking
vessel and frequently one above. These
are heated on the stove and with the
heat of the hot vessel will continue
the cooking process for several hours.
Well shaped stones or even hard brick
will answer though the usual soap
stones are better-E. w. Hamilton of

ABOUT THEkITCHEN
SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS FOR
EVERY CAREFUL HOUSEWIFE.
lIew to Remedy Several Possible De-
fects and Tighten the Work of
the Home-Proper Lighting
Big Help.

Many Of us read newspaper articles
and books, listen to lectures and give
advice on household management. But
we forget to look at our own kitchens.
Here are some pointed and pertinent
questions for you to ask yourself:
Is your kitchen properly lighted?
Is shadow cast on the sink by the
person who washes dishes? Very often
the only light in 81 small kitchen is
in the center and, rs the sink is al
ways Mt the side of the room, it is
awkwardly placed for the one who
washes dishes after lights are on. An
old-fashioned oil lamp placed on IA wall
bracket to the left of the sink and foot
or so above the head remedies this de-
feet. Another remedy consists In
screwing a double fixture In the cleo
trio light socket in the center of the
room and from one socket of this rum
ming drop light to hook above the
sink.
Probably you cook by gas. If you
do, is the stove in perfect working
condition? Is the force of the gas what
it ought to be? Do all the stops turn
easily and are they tight? Is there
any odor of escaping gas about the
stove? 1t costs only q few cents to
keep gas stove in ship-shape, and
if there is any defect in yours you
should send Immediately for repair
man. If you cook by coal: Are the
draughts clear and what they ought
to be? It not only saves fuel, but
saves your own strength to have all
these things attended to.
Is your refrigerator in q convenient
place? Ideally it should be in a recess
accessible to both the kitchen and the
porch, so that the ice man can fill 1t
without going through the kitchen. 1t
should not be near the stove. Yet
the amount of ice saved by having
the refrigerator In the cellar is usual
ly counteracted by the consequent
fatigue of the cook or housewife. So
have your refrigerator placed as con-
veniently for everybody as possible.
See that the drain is clean and that 1t
does not leak. If there are any very
large cracks in the refrigerator lin
ing, they should be repaired.
Are the cooking implements con-
venient to the places where they are
used? Are the kettles and frying pans
within arms reach of the stove? Are
soup ladies', basting spoons and meat
forks within the same easy distance?
Are dishpan and draining pan, with
dish mop, clothes, soap and securing
implements, all neatly placed about the
sink?
Have you comfortable place to mix
cakes, buildings and other dishes?
There is no reason why you should not
be seated for good deal of the cook
ing. A high stool is comfortable and
easy to move about. II possible. Il
shelf or table beneath a window is a
good work table for the cook or house.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, Dr.. Kilmer's PrescriF
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some az
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney troubls,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment sallow complexiou,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregulas
heart action, warns you that your kids
neys require help Immediately to ayeiAss
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. +

vate practice and it is sure to benefit you

A Real Economy.

The saving of drippings is very
wise economy. 'Drippings" come from
the fat that cooks from the roast that
is skinned from the soup pot, that
fries out of different meats or that is
lett on the trimmings of the meat from
the butcher. These scraps of fat meat
should be put together in a saucepan
with cold water, or cover them and
simmer till the meat is cooked to
pieces. Set away to cool and the ia:
will rise to the top in a cake which
can be lifted off. Turn this into q
saucepan with whatever drippings you
may have on hand, add two cupfuls
boiling water and boil uncovered for
an hour; then throw in teaspoonful
Of salt and put the saucepan away. Let
stand till there is a solid cake of fat
on top; remove this, which makes the
best kind of fat for frying.

PUT QUESTION BACK TO PAPA
Small Boy Rather Had the Best of
Joke Initiated by the Head of
the Family.

Theodore Chaplin, the young son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Chaplin of 2440
North Talbot, has wisdom far beyond
his actual six years of existence.
Theodore is just recovering from an
attack Of typhoid fever, and, natural
ly has been placed on a limited diet,
which, by the way, he observes with
remarkable fortitude. One evening
recently he was invited out for din
ner by young friend, and on his re-
turn home, Mrs. Chaplin asked him
what he had to eat. He began slowly
to enumerate those things which the
family doctor had given him permits
sion to eat. but, with true mother in
stinct, Mrs. Chaplin knew that he had
omitted one thing. She knew that
there was one thing that her son was
passionately fond of, and that was
fried potatoes, which the doctor had
said should not be eaten.
"Now, Theodore, you had some fried
pototoes also, didn't your" asked the
mother.
"Well, yes, I believe we did," he
reluctantly confessed, and after few
minutes he looked up and said: I'll
tell you, 1t takes Teller with lots Of
brains to get ahead Of my mother"
Mrs. Chaplin told her husband Of the
conversation, and next morning, at
the breakfast table, the father looked
at Theodore and said: Il II tell you,
it takes Teller with lots Of brains to
get ahead Of mother"
The young son looked up quickly,
and, with a knowing twinkle in his
eye, asked: "Now, pop, what have
you been trying to put over on her?'
