CHAPTER l.
introducing Her.

None but the residents consider
Mount Mark, Iowa, much Of town,
and the very most patriotic Of them
little red G. B. G. Q. railway station.
Mount Mark is anything but proud of
the little station. At the same time it
certainly does owe the railroad and the
state debt of gratitude for its pres
ence there. 1t is the favorite social
rendezvous for the community! The
arrival of a passenger train in Mount
Mark is an event-something in the
nature of a G. B. & Q. "at home" and
is always attended by large and en-
thusiastic gathering of "our best
people" All that is lacking are the
proverbial slight refreshments
So it happened that one sultry morn
Ing, late in the month of August, there
was the usual fiutter of excitement and
confusion on the platform and in the
waitingsroom of the station. The ha-
bitues were there in force. Conspicu-
Gus among them were four gayly
dressed young men, smoking cigarettes
and gazing with lack-luster eyes upon
the animated scene, which evidently
bored them.
The Daily News reporter, in we'll
creased, light gray suit and tan shoes,
and with eyeglasses scientifically bal
anced on his aquiline nose, was making
pointed inquiries into the private plans
of the travellers. The young woman
going to Burlington to spend the week
end was surrounded with about fifteen
other young women who had come to
"see her off," Mount Mark is very
respectable town, be it understood, and
girls do not go to the station without
an excuse!
A man in a black business suit stood
alone on the platform, his hands in
his pockets, his eyes wandering from
one to another of the strange faces
about him. His plain white ready-madt
tie proclaimed his calling.
''Its the new Methodist minister,
volunteered the baggage master, cross
Ing the platform. II know him. He:
not bad sort"
''They say he's got five kids, ant
most of 'em girls" responded the AID
ans express man. II want to be OF
hand when they get here, to pick out ;
girl"
.'Yah!" Knocked the telegraph opera
tor, bobbing his head through the win
dow, you need to. They tell me ever,

There is no such thing. Every man

OF course, no one had ever seen a
perfect man, and consequently the
statement of the reyivalist was re-
ceived with silence. The revivalist
continued:

At this junction a tall, thin woman
arose.

As they walked slowly toward the
house, Mrs. Adams looked at this par
sonage girl in frank curiosity and some
dismay, which she strongly endeavored
to conceal from the bright-eyed Pru-
dence. The Ladies had said it would
be so nice to have grown girl in the
parsonage! Prudence was nineteen

pathetically. Its so hot walking,
isn't it? Let's sit on the porch until
you are nicely rested"
'This is a fine chance for US to get
acquainted" said the good woman with
eagerness.
Now, if the truth must be told, there
had been some ill-feeling in the Ladies'
Aid society concerning the reception of
Prudence. After the session of con-
ference, when Rev. Mr.. Starr was as
signed to Mount Mark, the Ladies of
the church had felt great interest in
the man and his family. They inquired
on every hand, and learned several in
teresting items. The mother had been
taken from the family five years be
fore, after a long illness, and Prudence,
the eldest daughter, had taken charge
of the household. There were five chill
dren. So much was known, and being
women, they looked forward with
eager curiosity to the coming of Pru-
dence, the young mistress of the par
sonage.
Mr.. Starr had arrived at Mount Mark
a week ahead of his family. Prudence
and the other children had spent the
week visiting at the home of their
aunt, and Prudence had come on day

and hurriedly, and Prudence leaped
to her feet. Her fair hair chung about
her face in damp. babyish tendrils, and
her face was flushed and dusty, but
alight with friendly interest. She ran
forward eagerly, thrusting forth a slim
and grimy hacd.
"You are Mrs. Adams, aren't you? /
am Prudence Starr. 1t Is so kind of
you to come the very first day" she
cried. sit makes me love you right at
the start"
"Ye-yes, am Mrs. Adams" Mrs.
Adams was embarrassed. She could
not Danish from her mental vision that
kneeling figure by the nailkeg. Inter-
rogation was written all over her
ample face, and Prudence promptly
read it and fastened to reply.

German Prisoners May
Not Send Money Out of
u. S. During the War
BY .4ssociated Press

Washington, June 29.-In deciding
whether German prisoners of war in
the United States may make and sell
toys for the benefit of the German
Red Cross, the judge advocate general
of the army holds there is no treaty
which would impose upon the United
States a duty to permit prisoners to
aid any institutions connected with or
serving an enemy of the country in
any capacity.
His decision also points out that
the existence of any such right is
negatived by The Hague Convention
on rules of land warfare, which stipu-
lates that the wages of the prisoners
shall go toward improving their con-
dition and the balance shall be paid
them on their release after deducting
the cost of their maintenance. thus
plainly contemplating that all earn
ings shall be retained in the captor
country until the termination of the
war.

NATIONAL GUARD
WILL BE SENT
SOUTH TO TRAIN
Date of Draft to Fill Ranks
Is Not Yet Fixed by the
Government
BY associated Press

Washington, June 29.-National
Guard regiments will be sent for
ward to their divisional mobilization
camps in the South Immediately aft
er they have been drafted into the
federal service. Heretofore it had
been expected that because of lack
of accommodations it might be nee
essary- to keep many regiments at
their home armories or State moblli-
zation camps for an indefinite period.
The exact date of the application
of the draft to the guard is still un-
der discussion. Present orders are
that the divisions of the eastern sec
ton of the country be drafted July
15; the central section July %, and
the western section August 5. 1t has
been pointed out, however, that in
equalities in relative rank among Ma
tional Guard officers would result
from this three increment plan and
the war department is debating the
advisability of postponing the ap-
plication of the draft until August
o, and covering the entire guard al
that time in one operation.
