Don't protest, Mademoiselle; | know
The night had worked two miracles
l cared no longer for the foil of your
lips, for l had had a glimpse at your
heart. 1t was then l resolved you
should go with me-not to dishonor,
but to peace. l could not wait; l
had not the patience; l would bear
you away as warriors did of old. l

But Il am nothing" she urged,

working girl Monsieur, you cannot

Yet I do" I interrupted. 81
have met queens, MademoiseIle, and
Princesses, but no pulse throbbed
because of their presence. They were
women, but nothing to me. You
came to me out of the night; yesterday
you did not even exist; yet here IN
the dawn you are the world. Whatever
your name, your station though
you have nOne-matters not at all
LIT Is you, Mademosielle, you l love;
you whom l would call wife, and bear
away with me across the seas to France
And you will come? All, surely, you

looked long into her eyes, misty
with unshed tears dewing their lashes,

Yes, l am sure" | said slowly.
Her eyes fell, but her hand remained
In mine, warm and threbbing. That
was strange place for love to speak,
and l could not reach out nv arms to
draw her to me; 1 could only gaze at
the flushed, averted face, wondering
what she would say. Down below was
the eurving line Of shore, rocky and
desoldte, the high bluff fringed with
trees With fingers grasping the wheels
L swung the monopIaRe in wide circle
to the right, and then permitted 1t
to glide toward the earth with motor
stopped, posing the frail craft lust
above the higher branches in slow
flight

Beyond, IN the open field" l an
swered, too busy even to glance about
Look behind, and see If there are any

She turned partially in her seat,

under the shadow of an upIifted hand
There was an instant of silence; then
startled exclamation
Tit is a mani Look, Mon
sieur!"

strange, wild valley, secreted in the
heart of the highest hills.
And 1t proved to be the site of a
great encampment, a place where an
army was established; for its length
n breadth were dotted with mush-
room-like tents of khaki In orderly
rows broken only by roadways and
drill grounds.
Here her captor desired Patria to
descend. There was a glitter of ILL
hundred amusement, of triumphant
malice, in. his eye as he touched her
arm and pointed down into the val
ley.
1t was borne in upon the girls un-
~derstanding, in that instant, hat the
man had guessed her identity. She
was not only the instrument of his
W escape, but she was the very
prize, no doubt, that he had set forth
to snare.
And she had little doubt what would
prove her fate, once she had made a
landing in that valley.
Thoughts such as these nerved her
to heroic measures. What she must
do was murder-but so are most acts
of war. And this was one of her
country's chiefest enemies.
A heavy wrench rested in a pocket,
convenient to her hand. She watched
her chance, whipped it out and-as the
Japanese, startled by her unexpected
action, turned toward her-threw 1t
with all her might at his face.
He received the blow squarely be-
tween the eyes.
Patria heard him groan.
An eddy of air, upflung from the
broken earth, caught the biplane and

for a moment tossed and played with
it as though it were a feather. 1t
heeled dangerously, spinning upon it's
left planes as upon an axis.
Instinct alone-and a bit of luck to
boot-helped Patria right the ma
chine.
But when she had accomplished
that, she rode alone; the observers
seat was empty.
Resolutely forcing herself not to-
think of that poor hulk of a body3
dropping like a plummet to a deathz
which would render it unrecognizable,
a shapeless, featureless pulp, the girl
swung the biplane round and headed
for home. Two hours later she de-
scended in her aviation field and was5
helped down by Donald Parr. FROM
this one she learned, s%uccinctly, what
had happened.
Pillsbury's force, after a night and.
a half day of fruitless scouting, had
fallen afoul of two motor-cars filled
with Japanese and Mexican officers
northbound from the secret encamp-d
ment for a reconnaissance along tho
border. Chief among these officeI@|
We're Baron Huroki and General Nog<51
The car containing Nogi had broker
through the resistance offered by th&|
cow-punchers and fled northward|

short cut had arrived at the bridg&|
Just in time to explode a mine be

had escaped destruction in that bus

So it was Nogi who had been ca{1
ried back to his command by Patrl6j
In the meantime Huroki had bee1
captured and questioned by the coz

him to face a firing squad. Whe1
upon Pillsbury had liberated one
Huroki's companions, instructed
the Japanese to bring back Bess alon
and unframed. Otherwise Japan wd
to lose one of it's most loyal and eff
cient servants. Pillsbury had pron
ised Huroki that.
Upon the return of the officer WI
Bess, Huroki had been released,
accordance with the terms PillsbuI
had made, and had started back
the encampment in the hills, while
c~ow-punchers had ridden Joyful
homeward with the rescued girl.
The arrival of this party at q
hacienda had anticipated Patria's
turn by less than half an hour.

Morgan's mind had been made WI

LONG LOANS TO
FARMERS URGED
Secretary McAdoo Asks Cover
nor Whitman to Urge Legis-
lature to Aid Movement.

Washington, May S.-The treasury
department made public last night a
letter written by Secretary McAdoo
to Governor Whitman, urging that the
New York legislature be asked to
pass an act enabling New York saw
1ngs banks, insurance companies and
private trutees and guardians to in
vest In the federal farm loan bond is
u designed to provide funds for long
term loans to farmers. Flotation Of
the issue, h secretary wrote. is of
great importance because "a grave
emergency %confronts the United States
and the world. calling for the use of
every facility and resource to increase
farm production"
Two Previous Requests.
The letter revealed that the secre-
tary had made two previous futile re-
quests that the New York, governor
give the measure his endorsement.
1T is with great pleasure Mr.. Nc
Adoo wrote, that I learn that bank
ers of New York have arranged to
make a sum of $4,000, 900 or more
available for short-time loans to farm
ers and also that the bankers have
succeeded in securing your co-opera-
ton.
Is Grave Problem.
The present critical situation in
respect to the worlds foodstuffs ac-
c~entuates the most pressing problem
In American agriculture today. The
crying need of the farmer Is longtime
credits.
THE money to make these lonr
time loans can only be ecure by the
federal land banks through the sale
OF farm loan bonds, authorized by the
act.
THE legislature is still in session.
An act OF such Vic propriety and
utility could, If suggested by you. be
adopted almost Immediately. Similar
acts have just been passed by the
legislatures Of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey and approved by the governors
of those states"

LABoR's

The New Republic: Many people
are under the illusion that the wage
earners have been reaping a golden
harvest. In Its April bulletin the
United States bureau of labor Stats
tics prints a comparative table Of
wage increases and the increased cost
OF food as reported by the principal
trades In forty-eight Of the leading
cities for the paststen years. During
that decade weekly wage rates rose
16 per cent: retail food prices 80 per
cent. OF these increases, S per cent
in wages and IL per cent in food
prices followed the outbreak of the
war. In addition to this o dis
parity. food prices made a further adj
vance OF 23Cper e during January
and February of 1917. while wages
advanced from 10 to Is per cent, and
this in a few industries only. TO the
increase in the cost OF food must be
added the increase in the cost Of
shoes, clothing and rent. Statistics
on these items are dific1lt to assem-
Bile. but the New York Times report
that New York rents have risen IRON
10 10 Is per cent during the past
year-enoush to absorb a large part
Of the average increase in wages.
