Pearl suddenly felt faint. Her i'm
pulse was to fly at once to the war Of

glued her to the spot. She could hard

drawled the spokesman, '1n our hands,
destroys forever the Monroe Doctrine
by which this ambitious young country
has ruled the western seas for more
than century-too long. Have your
foreign offices sent you here prepared
to discuss the division of the spoils?"
Pearl drew away from the wall, In
wardly scoffing and deeply resentful at
these preposterous suggestions. She
could hear no more of them. Were II
not for the fact that the one in whom
was being publicly disgraced for a
crime she now knew to have been com
mitted by others she would have be-
lieved that these arch international
plotters were escaped lunatics. This
alone kept her from doing something
ridiculous.
"a new thought flashed into her mind
as the full meaning of the moment
came upon her. She became inspired
with a sudden determination to estab-
lish the identity of this coterie and its
leader, matching cunning with cunning
intrigue with intrigue, regardless of
personal hazard and for the cOuntry's
cause-and Payne's-no matter with
er it took her or how far, to checkmate
this silent menace in the plot in which
he might be only a pawn, or yet a
prince, or a disguised ruler himself.
With that supreme confidence of young
maidenhood contained in a noble and
sacrificing patriotism, this resolute
young Joan of what eventually became
known as the American One Hundred
Days now entered into an adventure,
which was the beginning of many, out
of which evolved the spirit of New
Americanism.
In her exalted mood, for a second
she forgot the necessity of caution. She
had found the door and was about to
open it and face the intriguers when
her sleeve caught upon a protruding
wire. Before she had shaken 1t loose
she was, to her dismay, discovered.
In her haste to evade pursuit, she
mounted breathlessly to the loft, fol-
lowed closely by the whole party, their
faces now masked, the spokesman in
the lead. He reached the top at the
same time as she, with arms out
stretched to grab her. She quickly
dropped the trap, stood upon it and
grappled with him. Her one thought
was to unmask him.
She was a fearless and athletic girl
and fought with frenzy that took her

whlrled around the room locked to-

'Who are you" she cried in pain,
doggedly trying to release herself.
"No personal enemy, mamselle, but
dangerous IL interfered WITH" he NUT
tered thickly, In disguised voice.
He had scarcely finished speaking
when Pearl, freeing her right arm,
struck him down. She was upon him
at once and about to tear the covering
from his face when his companions
broke through the trap and rushed to-
ward them. Before she could accom-
plish her purpose she was forced to
protect herself, for they clearly meant
to do her harm. Staggering back
wards, she glared about for means Of
escape. She spied window. Thought
less of peril there, she ran to 1t and
jumped out striking the ground hard,
for her fall was a long one.
She turned a challenging face toward
the men who had gathered in the win
dow and were scowling down upon her
with pointed revolvers.
"You scoundrels and towards - she
cried, defiantly. whoever you may
be, America will avenge herselfl"
Then she plunged into the bushes.

KIDNEY REMEDY
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

There is no medicine which we handle
that gives such good results as your
Swamp-Root. Many of our customers
have informed us at different times that
they have derived great benefit from its
use.
There was one case in particular which
attracted great deal of attention in this
neighborhood early last Spring, as the
gentlemans life was despaired of and two
doctors treating him for liver and kidney
trouble were unable TO give him any re-
lief. Finally a specialist from st. Louis
was called in but failed to do him any
good. / at last induced him 10 try your
Swamp-Root and after taking it for three
months, he was attending to his business
as usual and is now entirely well. This
case has been the means of creating an
increased demand for your Swamp Root

xxx End of July and First Days of Auuust, 1914
By JAMES w. GERARD

After my return from Kiel to Berlin a period of calm ensued. No one seemed to think that the murders at Sarajevo would have any effect upon the world.
 The Emperor had gone north on his yacht, but, as I believe, not until a certain line of action had been agreed upon.
 Most of the diplomats started on their vacations. Sir Edward Goschen, British Ambassador, as well as the Russian Ambassador, left Berlin. This shows, of course, how little war was expected in diplomatic circles.

 Austria's Ultimatum to Serbia
 Some days after my return to Berlin the ultimatum of Austria was sent to Serbia. Even then there was very lit tie excitement and when the Serbian answer was published, it was believed that this would end the incident, and that matters would be adjusted by dilatory diplomats in the usual way. On the twenty-sixth of July matters began to boil. The Emperor returned on this day and from the morning of the twenty seventh took charge. On the twenty seventh, also Sir Edward Goschen returned to Berlin I kept in l touch, as far as possible with the other diplomats, as the German of ficials were exceedingly uncommuni- cative, although I called on Won Jagow every day and tried to get something out of him. On the night of the twen- ty-ninth the Chancellor and Sir Ed ward had their memorable conversa- . tion in which the Chancellor, while making no promises about the French colonies, agreed, if Great Britain re- rained neutral, to make mo territorial aggressions at the expense of France
 The chancellor further stated Lo Sir Edward that Ever since he had been Chancellor the object of his policy had been to bring about an understanding with England and that he had in minc a general neutrality agreement between Germany and England"
 On the thirtieth Sir Edward Grey re- fused the bargain proposed, namely that Great Britain should engage tt stand by while the French colonie. were taken and France beaten so long as French territory was not taken. Sir Edward Grey said that the SO called bargaining at the expense O.

WAGES GO UP IN THE EAST

The average per capita weekly earnings of ployees in factories in the state during May were S16.15 against $15.50 in April The per capita ings for week in May, 1916, were $14.24 and in 1915 they $12.74 report by the state depart ment of labor says:
 Manufacturing activities in New York state in May, 1917 showed a gain The amount of wages paid greater than in any other month since these returns have been received, with the exception of March. 1S17 when the payrolls higher by a negligible amount Contributing factors to the result were increased sale of operations overtime employ ment and increase in wage rates
 The reports of the department are based figures submitted by 1900 representative firms employing more than six hundred thousand persons and having a weekly payroll of more than nine million dollars. Concerning some of the groups the report says
 "The paper industry had in May per cent fewer workers but paid out five per cent wages than in April This established a record in wages for this industry. There were general increases in wage rates and mill operated to capacity. The num- Der of employees was nine per cent and the wage aggregate twenty-four per cent greater than in May of last year.
 "The food. liquors and tobacco group reported in May gain April of three per in the amount of wages, which established new record The num- Der of employees remained about the same.
