were on foot, she could uncover ii plot.
She dressed resOlutely, buckled on
a holster to her side, and, slipping a
revolver-a new one that Gale had
given her-into it for protection. she
walked softly downstairs and out OF

a three-quarter moon well up in the
sky. She took her way rapidly along
the trail to the mountain, keeping as
much as possible within the great
shadows cast by the towering peaks
Breathing stealthily and keyed to a
tense feeling of uncertainty and sus-
picion, Nan at length reached without
adventure the corner of the ledge
and there, lying fiat, listened.
Hearing only the music of the little
cascade, she swept the ledge as well
as she could with her eyes, but it was
now so far in shadow as to lie in i'm
penetrable darkness. Hardly daring
TO breathe, she crept and felt her way
over 1t with her hands, discovering
nothing until she had almost reached

Then her heart stopped In an agony
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the overhanging
wall she heard voices. De Spain had
confederates, then, and had tricked
her, after all.
But moment later this explanation
failed to satisfy her. The mutterings
were too constant and too disconnect-

be delirium. She could hear De Spain
throwing himself from side to side,
and the near and far sounds, as If Of
two voices, were explained. She crept
nearer.
He was babbling in the chill dark
ness about ammunition, urging men
to make haste, warning them of some
pne coming. Nan listened to his raw
tngs, overcome by the revelation of
his condition. She told herself he must
die If he remained longer unaided, and
there were unpleasant possibilities, if
he died where he lay. She did not want
to pity or to help him, she convinced
herself; but she did not want his death
laid to Morgan plot-for none of his
friends would ever believe De Spain
had found his way alive and alone
TO where he lay.
All of this Nan was casting up in
her mind as she walked home. She
had already decided, but without
realizing 1t, what to do, and was will

open.

 Whereas, in reverence to our God, in loyalty to our country, and in honor to our homes, we, the women of these United States of America, have formed ourselves into national league in the name of patriotism and in the spirit of service, to proclaim together as one body our fidelity and our consecration to all the laws which insure liberty, protect democracy and uphold fraternity; there fore, be 1t
 Resolved, That each and every woman who joins this league must hereafter be ready to learn and to perform, that she must be ready to sacrifice self to the finer idealism of service that she must give and not take, work and not waste, be and not seem; that whether as mother, wife, sister, daughter or friend she must testify to her belief that it were better for each and every man to die nobly than to live ignobly; and further be 1t
 Resolved, That, in order at this time to give the most crucial, the most exi- gent and the most logical proof of patriot ism, we uphold with all that is within us the great cause of righteousness now being defended on those vast battlefields of Europe as was never principle and jus tiee defended before in the history of the world; to strengthen and to sustain France and her allies while they fight for our protection when struggling for their own, ever maintaining the liberty Of mankind and the freedom of the indi- vidual for which our forefathers bled in the open proclaiming with courage and with conviction that we as American women, will hesitate no longer between right and might, that we register our allegiance and our support of right while protesting with vigor against might; that We sternly and solemnly denounce Ger man domination which threatens the slavery of the world; that we remember with unflinching certitude her broken pledges to the nations. her insults to our flag, her many deeds of barbarism, of vandalism and of inhumanity, her cruelty i to defenseless women and to fatherless l children, and that we testify through 1

FATHER OF FIVE,
He WANTS TO DIE
o. P. Weldon Says He Would
Be Worth More to His
Family If Dead.
STOLE EMPLOYERS MONEY

Tired OF battling against the high
cost OF living on a small salary o.
P. Weldon, 250S North Thirty-third
street, father OF FIVE children, called
up his employer, w. J. Irvine, mana
ger OF the Singer Sewing Machine
company, and, according to the po-
lice, told him that he (Weldon) had
embezzled about $500 Of the firms
money and that he intended to CON-
NIT suicide. ..- -..
The conversation was overheard by
a friend at Sixteenth and Dodge
streets, who fearing that Weldon in
tended to carry out his threat, mott
fed Detective Sutton. When We'll
don still insisted to carry out his
threat Detective Sutton took him to
the central station and locked him up.
Detective Sutton says that Weldon
told him he was tired Of trying to
support his wife and five children on
small salary and that he had de-
cided to end it all. He is reported
as telling the detective that he had
$1,000 insurance and that his family
would be better off without him.
Police Warned.
Irvine, it is said, tried to dissuade
Weldon from carrying out his threat,
at least until he had time to talk
the matter over with him.
After being arrested Weldon is
said to have changed his mind about
committing suicide, but is still held to
see il he~really did embezzle some
of the firms money. ......
Weldon is sewing machine sales
man and receives besides small sal
airy a commission on what he sells.
He is said to have been working
for the firm for the last seven years.
Weldon is booked for investigation
