CHAPTER Xxx.
La Eeria.

La Feria.
"What's this I hear about WARP Do
lores inquired Of her mistress, a few
days after their arrival at La Feria.
''They tell me that Mexico is invaded
and that the American soldiers have
already killed more than a thousand
women and children"
"Who tells you this?' Alaire asked.
s'The men-everybody," Dolores
waved a hand in the direction Of the
other ranch buildings. "Our people are
buzzing like bees with the news, and,
Of course, no one cares to work when
the Americans are coming"

talk"
"This morning the word came that
the revolution is ended and that the
soldiers of both parties are uniting to
fight for their liberties. They say the
gringos are killing all the old people
everyone, in fact, except the girls,
whom they take with them. Already
they have begun the most horrible
practices. Why, at Espinal"-Dolores'
eyes were round-"would you believe
it?-those Yankee soldiers ate a baby
They roasted the little dear like a
cabrito and ate it! tell you, it makes
wild talk among the peladors."
"Do you believe such stories?''
Alaire inquired, with some amusement,
"Um-m-not altogether. But, all the
same, I think it is time we were going
home"
s'This is home, for me, Dolores"
eyes, but now that war"
"There isn't any war, and there
won't be any. However. IL you are
nervous I'll send you back to Las Pal
mas at once"
"Glory of God! It would be the end
Of me. These Mexicans would recog-
nize me instantly as an American, for
/ have the appearance and the culture
You can imagine what would happen
to me. They would tear me from the
train. It was nothing except General
Longorio's soldiers that brought us
safely through from Neuvo Pueblo"
'"Then I'm glad that he insisted up.
on sending them with us. Now tell the
ranch-hands to put no faith in these
ridiculous stories. If they wish the
truth let them ask General Longorio
he will be here today and quiet their
fears"

Dolores pondered a moment. swell

For that matter, he would give all Mex

consumes him like a fever"
Alaire stirred uneasily; then she
rose and went to an open window
which looked out into the tiny patio
with it's trickling fountain and its rank
INTENDED plants. "Why do you insist

swiftly. am not shackled by conven-
tiOns-they are less than nothing to
me. If it seems to you that my eager.
ness carries me away. remember that
war is upon us and that affairs of mo-
ment press me so that am compelled
to move like, the lightning. With me,
sonora, a day is a year. The past IS
gone, the present is here, the future
rushes forward to meet u.s."
Indeed, you forget yourself" she
said, warmly. Then, changing her tone:
Il too must act quickly. must go
back at once"
'Oh, but have told you only part
of what came to say"
"Surely the rest can wait" Her
voice was vibrant with contempt. 'I'm

Alaire stared at him incredulously.

practically"
"What-? You are telling me the
! truth?" A moment, then Alaire con-
tinued, more calmly, IF that is so,
should lose no time.'
"Listen!" The general was deeply
| in earnest. "You have no conception
Of the chaos out there" He waved
comprehensive gesture. eff the explo-
sion has not come, it will come within
few hours. That is why I flew to
your side. Battleships are hurrying to-
against our border, and Mexico has
risen like one man. The people are in
a frenzy; they are out of bounds there
is sack and pillage in the cities. Ameri-
cans are objects Of violence every
where and the poems are frantic" He
paused impressively. "We face the
| greatest upheaval Of history"
"Then why are you here?" Alaire de-
manded. "This is no place for you at
| such moment"
Longorio came closer to her, and his
/ voice trembled as he said: "Angel Of
my soul, my place is at your side"
Again she recoiled, butNwith fervor
he had never dared display he rushed
on heedlessly. II have told you ]
harken only to my heart; that for one
smile from you would behead myself;
that for your favor would betray my
fatherland; that for your kiss would
face damnation. Well, I am here at
your side. The deluge comes, but you
shall be unframed" He would not per-
nit her to check him, crying: "Waitl

to speak. The struggle will be long,
but you shall be my guiding star in the

Under other circumstances the mans
magnificent egotism might have pro-
voked smile. And yet, for all it's
grandiloquence, there was something
in his speech that rang hard and true.
PROFESSIONALLY Longorio was danger
ous-a real personality, and no mere
| staggering pretender. Alaire felt a
certain reluctant respect for him, and
at the same time touch Of chilling
fear sdch as she had hardly expert

Mexicans are gallant and pay absurd
compliments. It's just way they have.
He has never spoken word that could
give offense." AS Dolores said moth

lores agreed, hastily, cor we'd never
leave Mexico alive" With which cheer
ing announcement the housekeeper
heaved deep sigh and went about her
duties with gloomy face.
LongcriG arrived that afternoon, and
Alaire received him in the great naked
living room Of the hacienda, with her
best attempt at formality. But her
GOODNESS served not in the least to chill
his fervor.

The woman of his desires was yon-
der, where those colors warred, and
she was mantled in red and gold and
purple for his coming. The thought
aroused him; he felt only throbbing
eagerness to see her and to take her
in his arms once more before the end.
With his head high and his face
agleam, he rode into the west, into the
heart of the sunset.

FEW CHICK FEEDS TO AVOID
Tankage and cottonseed Meal Are Not
SuitabIe-Gluten Causes Diges-
tive Disorders.

Some feeds which are satisfactory
for feeding to other classes Of animals
are not suitable for feeding chicks.
Among such feeds may be mentioned
tankage and cottonseed meal. The use
Of large amount of gluten in the ra-

disorders.

ter egg supply.
Avoid Overcrowdino.


On no account should the laying
stock be overcrowded, as when this Is.
the case it is next to impossible to Sc.
cure a good supply of eggs. Especial.
ly Is this so during the winter, when
the fowls have to be shut up in their
houses for so many hours at stretch
and it is evident that If the air Is
vitiated the best results cannot ba
achieved. AS far as possible, each bird
should be allowed two square feet OF
floor space in an ordinary closed-in
house; when the open-fronted form IL
used, two-thirds of this amount is suf.
f1cient. Closely allied to the question
of overcrowding is that Of ventilation.
and there should always be some ar.
rangement whereby the vitiated air can
pass quickly away, allowing fresh to
take its place.

A Few Things Remarkable

The Connecticut Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION. representing over 200 Of the
leading manufacturers of that state,
passed a resolution favoring complete
War Prohibition by a vote Of 176 to 1.
That was remarkable.
The American Medical Association,
the most representative body Of its
kind in the world, at it's national con-
vention in New York this month adopt
ed resolutions declaring alcohol to be
neither a food nor a stimulant. That
was remarkable.
The National Conference Of Charities
and Correction violated its custom OF
passing no resolution on a controverted
subject, and recognizing the patriotic
character and overshadowing impor-
lance of the question, unanimously
adopted the following resolution:
I'm the present great national emer-
gency. when the full strength of the
nation. physical, mental and moral Is
needed as never before, and when the
conservation of good grain is of cru
prohibition of the manufacture impor-
tation and sale of intoxicating bever-
ages during the war. and for at least
one year thereafter
That was remarkable.
But that which is most remarkable
to us, is the spectacle of a Congress sc
blinded by the dollars in the booze bus.
mess that they cannot, or will not,
see that the American people are abou,
ready to rise up in their wrath and
snite hip and thigh, those senators and
representatives who are deaf to logic
and common sense and appeal, who Of.
fer inane excuses and pretenses and
hug the filthy friendships and remun-
erative favors of the booze buzzards
while delaying decency, justice and the
popular will.

Light and Airy
A Day in June

What is so rare as a day in June?''
Queried a poet some years ago.
GOOD start, that, to a lifting tune),
He asked, but nobody seemed to know.
He had been out in the fields and woods.
Stroling the banks of the dancing
streams,
Watching Dame Natures various moods,
Losing himself in a castle Of dreams.
June, with it's birds and flowers and
trees,
June. with it's greenest velvet coat,
June. with its wandering, perfumed
breeze
June in fact, got his bardic goat.
But if he lived in Eastern Maine,
Where daily showers swell the bubbling
crick,
Where the weather man tests out the
rain,
A day in June would have made him
sick.

Red Cross Work,
Interminable folds Of gauze

Interminable folds Of gauze
For those whom we shall never see
Remember, when your fingers pause,
That every drop Of blood to stain
This 'whiteness, falls for you and me,
Part Of the price that keeps US free
To serve our own, that keeps us clean
From shame that other women know
Oh saviours we have never seen,
Forgive us that we are so slow.
God-if that blood should cry in vain
And we have let our moment go.

To the Allies

(By Laura E. Richards of the Vigilantes;
Hands across the sea, brothers
Hands across the sea
Here's a flag to fly with yours,
The emblem Of the free.
Holy hands OF freemen gave It,
Heart and life we pledge TO save II,
At your side we lift and wave II
Now for Liberty.
Hands across the sea, brothers.
Hands across the sea.
Here's a sword to draw with yours,
'Gainst monstrous tyranny.
Valiant hearts have beat beneath II,
Deathless laurels still enwreathe 1t.
Sadly, sternly, we unsheathe IT,
Now for Liberty.
Hands around the world, brothers.
Hands around the world.
Fling the married colors out.
Never to be furled;
Till the power Of Light prevailing,
Victry's heights in triumph scaling,
Sees the power of Darkness, falling,
Down in ruin hurled.
