Navy Needs Men.
The United States today Is at war.
The government officials are looking
to the young men Of the country to

admirals and captains in the United
States navy today who rose to their
high rank of command from the posi-
ton of naval apprentice. Rear Ad-
miral william H. Fl. Switzerland once
was a naval apprentice. Capt. John
Emil Roller was a naval apprentice.

NO! I'm not thinking Of the CON

from the driveway, and he smiled.

But no one could long remain stiff or
constrained with Paloma Jones; the
girl had directness Of manner and
an honest, friendly smile that simply
would not be denied. Her delight that
Alaire had come to see her pleased and
shamed the elder woman,' who hesi-
tatingly confessed the object Of her
visit.
"Oh, thought you were calling on
me-" Paloma pouted her pretty lips.
"Dave isn't here. He and father
have gone away
It needed no close observation to
discover the concern in Paloma's eyes
Alaire told her story quickly. "Mr.
Law must be warned right away" she
added, "for the man is capable Of any
thing"
Paloma nodded. "Dave told us how
he had killed Panfilo-" She hesi-
tated, and then cried, impulsively {:
"Mrs. Austin, I'm going to confess
something-I've got to tell somebody
or I'll burst. I was walking the floor
when you came. Well, dad and Dave
have completely lost their wits. They
have gone across the river-to get Ri
cardo Guzman's body"
WHAT" Alaire stared Mt the girl
uncomprehendingly. "NIy dear girl,
aren't you dreaming?"

about 1t. Dad wouldn't have told me

Palomas face was pale, her eyes
were strained and tragic. She made

CURIOUS FEARS OF SOLDIERS
One breads That His Charcoal Burner
VIII Be Destroyed Although In
different as to Himself.

1t Is extraordinary what curious
fealS some soldiers have. One fighter
always breads that his charcoal fire
Will be destroyed by shell. He al
ways places the burner in the most
protected part Of the trench, but re-.
mains quite Indifferent In regard to
his own personal safety.
Another extraordinary fear Of q sol
dicr ut the front is that Of having his
bootlnceS united. Nothing else has
terrors for him. from bayonet fighting
to asphyNiating gases. But he is quite
certain that if his bootlnccs are loose
he will trip over them and break his
neck. He always examines his laces
to see If they are properly fastened.
Another soldier who has been through
the thick of the fighting is terribly
frightened Of going through wood,
and would rather walk miles round it
than half mile through it. He has
the fear that some day tree will sud
denly fall end crush him.
Many soldiers have n horror Of losl

the affair had caused him to look upon
her as an accessory. Nevertheless,
when she paid him his wages she gave
him good horse, which Jose accepted
with thanks but without gratitude. AS
Alaire watched him ride away with
never backward glance she decided
that she must lose no time in appris-
ing the Ranger Of this new condition
Of affairs.
She drove her automobile to Jones'
vile that afternoon, more worried than
she cared to admit. Law was nowhere
In town, and so, In spite Of her reluc-
tance, Alaire was forced to look for
him ut the Jones home. AS she had
never called upon Paloma and had
made 1t almost impossible for the girl
to visit Las Palmas, the meeting of
the two women was somewhat formal

CHAPTER xI-Continued.


A new moon was swinging in the
sky as Alaire and Dave rode back
toward Las Palmas. How or when
Alare Austin came to feel that this
man loved her, she never knew. Ger
tainly she knew tonight, and, strange
to say, the knowledge did not disturb
her. Alaire had been repclled by Luis
Longorio's evident love for her, but
Il similar emotion In this mans breast
had quite the opposite effect. She was
eager for friendship, hungry for affcc-
tton, starved for that worship which
every woman lives upon. Having q
wholesome confidence in her own
strength Of character, and complete
faith in Laws sense of honor, she was
neither alarmed nor offended.
For the first time in years she al
lowed her intimate thoughts free ex-
preston, and spoke Of her hopes her
interests and her Efforts; under the
spell Of the moonlight. she even con
fidcd something about those dreams
that kept her company and robbed her
world Of It's sordidncss. Dave Law
discovered that she lived in fanclful
land Of unrenlities, and the glimpse
he gained Of 1t was delightful.
Supper was waiting when they ar
rived Mt Las Palmas, and Dolores an
nounced that "Young Ed" had tele-
phoncd from the Lewis ranch that he
would not be home. Yielding to sud
den impulse, Alaire said to her com
pani0n:
You must dine with me. Dolores
VIII show you to n room. / will be
ready in half an hour"
The Austin ranchhouse offered a
contrast to the majority OF Texas
country homes. Not for many years
had Dave Law been guest amid such
surroundings, and he began to feel
more and more out Of place. With
growing discomfort, he realized that
the mistress Of this residence was the
richest woman in all this part Of Tex
ns, and that he was little better than
n tramp. Alaire knew how to be
gracious and winning hostess: of
course she did not appear to notice
her guests embarrassment. She had
rather welcomed the thought that this
man cared for her, and yet, had she
deliberately planned to dampcn his
feeling. she could hardly have succeed
ca better than by showing him the
wide disparity In their lives and situn-
tons. Dave was dismaycd; he felt

Knew What Was in II.

Raymond Blathwatt, the well-known
journalist, was once asked to write
character sketch Of Lord North
cliffc. In a letter he requested a
special interview and the famous
newspaper proprietor sent him the fol-
lowing reply:
II am sorry, but must ask you to
excuse me from acceding to your re-
quest. I am like the little boy at a
school treat who, when the sources

CHAPTER XII.
The Guzman Incident.


Ricardo Guzman did not return
from Romero. The man had disap-
pcared, 1T seemed, completely and mys-
tcriously. At first the facts appeared
plain: citizen Of the United States
had been lured across the border and
done to death by Mexican soldlers-for
1T soon became evident that Ricardo
was dead. The outrage was casus
BELL such as no self-respccting people
could ignore; so ran the popular ver-
dict. The ominous mailed serpent
which lay along the Rio Grande stirred
itself.
OF course, the people Of Texas were
delighted that the long.delayed hour
had struck; accordingly, when the
state department manifested its will
lngness to allow Don Ricardo ample
time In which to come to life in pref
ercnce to putting a further strain upon
international relations, they were both
surprised and enraged. Telegraph
wires began to buzz; the governor Of
the state sent sarcastic message to
the national capital, Offering to dis
patch q company Of Rangers after
'""h DooS3 JoSI W prove luuC ne
was indeed dead, and that the Mcxl-
can authorities were lying when they
professed ignorance Of the fact.
This offer not only caught the popu-
lar fancy north Of the Rio Grande, but
1t likewise had an effect on the other
side Of the river, for on the very next
day General Luis Longorlo set out for
Romero to investigate personally the
rancher's disappearance.
Now, throughout all this public
clamor, truth as usual, lay hidden ar
the bottom Of It's well, and few even
of Rlcardos closest friends suspected
the renl reason for his murder.
Jonesvllle, Of course, could think or
talk Of little else than this outrage,
and Blaze Jones, as befltted It's lead
ing citizen, was loudest in his criticism
of the governments policy. Blaze's
conception Of diplomacy was'peculiar.
