You Are the Government.

You Are the Government.
The Treasury Department has IS
sued the following article on Liberty
Lean Bonds" by George H. Norris
Of the Federal Farm Loan Bureau:
The security Of United States gov
ernment bonds is not open to ques-
zion. No man in the United States
has. or can have, any ooubt that eveNy
collar due for interest or prlnclcpal
On any obligation of the United States
o,ernment will be paid on the day
that i falls due, whether the govern
ernment has seven billions or seven
teen billions Of bonds outstanding
The only question that can fairy be
raised by anyone who has money
much or little-and is prompted to
luv bond is this:
"Does the government ask N!
money on fair terms?
The government has only TWO
ways of raising money-by taxing or
bv borrowing. 1t must use boti ways,

actual fighting gives up his occupa-
ton. interrupts his life work, surreA-

consider that. Let us remember, III

s;re, that was not what bankers call

It was because the circulation priv

Duane has Just escaped into the un.

Cottonwood. mesquite, pr!ckly pear.
and other growths mingled with the
willow, and altogether they made n
matted, tangled copse. a thicket that
an inexperienced man would have
considered impenetrable.
The depths OF this brake Duane had
penetrated was a silent. dreamy,
strange place. In the middle Of the
day the light was weird and dim.
When q breeze nuttered the foliage,
then slender shafts and spears Of sun
shine pierced the green mantle and
danced like gold IN the ground.
Duane Ind always felt the strange
ness Of this kind Of place, and like
wise he had felt a protecting. harbor-
ing scnething which always seemed to
him to be the sympathy Of the brake
for q hunted creature. Any unwound-
ed creature. strong and resourceful,
was safe when he had glided under
the low, rustllng green roof Of this
wild covert.
Duane wanted to cross the river
II that was possible. and. keeping In
the brake. work his way upstream till
no had reached country more hospit-
able. He pushed on. His left arm
had to be favored, as he could scarcely
move It. Using his right to spread
the willows, he slipped sideways be-
tween them and made fast time.
Finally after q toilsome penetration
of still denser brush he broke through
to the bank Of the river.

What the cowboy thought Of this

CHAPTER XIV.

When Duane reached the crossing
OF the roads the name Fairfield on
the sign-post seemed to be the thing
that tipped the oscillating balance OF
decision In favor of that direction. II
he had been driven to hunt up Jef
Aiken, nov he was called to find this
unknown ranger captain. In Duane's
state OF mind clear reasoning, COM
mon sense. or keenness were out OF
the question. He went because he felt
he was compelled.
Dusk had fallen when he rode into
a town which inquiry discovered to
be Fairfield.
There did not appear to be any
camp on the outskirts of the town.
But as Duane sat his horse, peerlng
around and undecided what further
move to make, he caught the CLINT OF
hickering lights through the darkness.
Peadlng toward them he saw the
Ing forms Of men and heard horses.
He advanced naturally. expecting any
moment to be halted.
"Who goes there?" came the sharp
call out OF the gloom.
Duane pulled his horse. The gloom
was impenetrable.
"One man-alone," replied Duane.
"What do you wantf"
"I'm trying to find the ranger camp"

get down and advance. Slow.
Don't move your hands. It's dark,
but I can see."
Duane dismounted, and, leading his
horse. slowly advanced a few PAGES.
He saw a DULY bright object-a gun
before he discovered the man who
held It. A few more steps showed q
dark figure blocking the trail. Here
Duane halted.
Here, ranger, understand this. Ny
visit IL peaceful-friendly II you'll let
It be. Mind, I was asked to coms
hereafter dark"
Duane's clear. penetrating voice
carried far. The listening rangers ut
the campfire heard what he said.
"Ho, Pickensi Tell that fellow to
walt" replied an authoritative voice.
Then q slim figure detached itself
from the dark. moving group at the
campfire and hurried out.
"Better be foxy, Gap" shouted q
ranger, In warning.
"Shut up-ail Of you." was the 70
ply.

When Duane got beyond the line
OF mesquite, which had hid a good
view OF the camp site, he saw q group
Of perhaps fifteen rangers sitting
around the fires. near a long, low shed
where horses were feeding, and a
small adobe house at m side.

MacNelly. 1--WE taken up temporary

Duane was hungry, but he hurried
through the ample supper that was
set before him, urged on by curiosity
and establishment. While eating he
had bent keen eyes around him. After
a first quiet scrutiny the rangers ap
parently paid no more attention to
him. They were all veterans In serv-
