United States government had offered
Tor the capture Of LopezY
"Yes," she answered.
I will have to send q squad to the

an Official corroboration of this" he
continued "a he handed the message
to one Of his aides, with instructions
to see that 1t wns sent Immediately.
While these scenes were being en-
acted near the border, Rutledge and
the Major were far from idle In Wash
lngton. Immediately upon his arrival
the Major had gone to the jail, where
It did not take him long to effect the
release OF Bob. Then they went to
the hotel where both cleaned them
selves up, after which they donned
their best uniforms and started for the
White House, where they arrived just
before the closing Of executive office
hours.
The Major had previously been to
the war department, where, after a
session with the secretary, during
which he explained matters SO salts
factorily that he was given back his
commission, an appointment had been
arranged with the nations chief exc
cutive.
So. when the Major and Bob reached
the White House they were shown into
the executive Office, where they found
the president seated ut his desk writ
ing.
Bob was not the least bit nervous,
for he looked upon the man before him
as n who had simply been a little
more lucky than. he had been. The
Major was truly q remarkable figure
in his blue uniform, with its gold lace,
and despite his years, he carried him.
self with the same assurance which
had always characterized him as q dis
tinguished parsonage. But, under
meath that uniform he CARRIED seven
teen bullet wounds. which he had re-
ceived In the service Of his country.
That alone Is enough to make any
mans chest swell with pride.
:" want to commend you. Captain
Rutledge. for the excellent reports
which have come to the war depart
ment OF your work along the border"
said the president ~ he grnsped the
hand of the ranger.
THANK you," replied Bob as he
smiled.
"And you, Major Winston" on
tinued the president. "There Is hardly
anything I car add to the praises

which you have been receiving for so
many years. You seem to be the same
old fighter. There are few who can
boast a record such as yours"
Then Bob at once related his ad-
ventures In Mexico and explained the
important part Liberty had played In
the efforts OF the Major and himself
to exterminate Lopez and his band.
The president listened attentively and
was very much interested In the story
Of Liberty and the great perils she
had risked In the hands Of the Mexi-
cans.
II have never heard Of q girl as
brave a. Miss Horton" he remarked.
'and I will ask congress for the power
to send an efficient force into Mexico
for the purpose Of rescuing her. and
within the next 48 hours the men
should be on their way"
At that moment the presidents pri-
vate secretary entered the room and
handed . telegram to Major Winston,
who hastily opened It. 1t was Llber-
ty's message informing him Of the
death Of Lopes and the escape Of her
self and Pedro.
with q sigh Of relief the Major then
read the message aloud to the presi-
dent and Bob, and both waxed jubi-
liant ~ they congratulated each other.

Macedonia, unwary, has allowed him
self to be backed into a corner and,
quick as n terrier, the shorter-armed
man steps inside his guard and gets
home with two full-pOwer punches on
the solar pleXus. Macedonia sways,
makes a step into the ring, and then
falls In q heap with one arm relaxed
over the lower rope. The referee
reaches the count Of "Ten" before the
fallen maj moves at all.
Good scrap" says the machine-gun
officer to a fellow lieutenant, but Fee
ny would have won If he, hadn't
got to close quarters"
A Week Later; the Trenches.
A week later. Two little groups Of
men are sheltering in two she'll holes
far ont amid the German wire. The
trenches two hundred yards ahead Of
them are occupied. A spray Of ma
chine-gun bullets plays across the lips
Of the holes. and two men who were
making n "look-see" are sitting groan-
icS in the bottom Of the trench. The
two parties are twenty yards apart.
Presently the machine gum stops its
patter and there is comparative silence.
There Is an isolated third in the dis
lance and the crescendo OF an APP
preaching she'll. 1t bursts like an cider
powder puff, high and to the left, but
some Of the shrapne4 reaches one OF
the shell holes.
The men have been out since before
dawn. for they were an advanced pa
troll. They were discovered by the
BOches only an honr ago, however. and
their position is now made unenviable.
The ground behind slopes and they
would be exposed to machine-gun fire
all the long way to their trenches.
Now the artillery is beginning to search
them out.
They Try Out Feeny's Tactics.
From the right shell hole there is
a f1utter Of white, and slowly n Morse
message is sent with d leaf torn from
a notebook. "Try Fceny's tactics" 1t
spells put. "How about it:' The Off
Ger who receives the message smiles
to himself. "Yes." he answers, 1--WE
will start when you signal. Give us
five minutes"
The signal is given. Both groups
dash forward and only one man falls.
Breathless, but revengeful, they fall
into the machine-gun e%mplacement
There is some quick work with the
bayonet, the gun is wrecked, a dugout
is bombed, four prisoners are taken.
Ten minutes later, leaving two parties
of Germans bombing each other indus
triously over 4 traverse, the raiders
streak across the No Mans Land
They are seen. but the machine gun
is out of action and rifle fire Is all
that they have to fear. Then our men
see them and q heavy covering fire is
kept up. They fall over the parapet
bounce off the firing step and lie

tom Of the trench.
And Feeny, who went on leave the
next week, found an envelope waiting
for him before he left. There were
two hundred-franc notes in it and q
message Of eleven words: "In payment
for lessons received in the noble art
of self-defense."

Soldiers Remember How Feeny
Got Out of a Tight Cor
ner in Ring.
TRY IT ON the GERMANS
At Close Quarters Count Enemy Out
When Feenr Goes On Leave He Gets
Token q Appreciation for
Lessons in Self Defense.

London.-How the tactics Of the
prize ring got two little groups of Brit
ish soldiers out Of q tight corner, and
eventually gave them the victory In a
lively "scrap" with superior numbers
of the enemy, IS told in an interesting
story communicated by "a correspond
ent" to the London Times.
The story opens with a glove contest
in Il room lit by four large a~cetylene
lamps on tiers of benches and boxes
sit hundreds of khaki-clad men. They
have most Of them been fighting all
through the week, and now they are
going to watch other men fight-with
gloves. Two men in overcoats step
through the ropes. As the gloves are
being adjusted an officer steps into
the ring. He is loudly cheered.
"A six-round contest" he says, "be-
tween two Irishmen. (Cheers.) Ser
geant Kennedy Macedonia, eleven stone
two, and Quartermaster Sergeant Tim
Feeny, eleven stone"
Both boxers are fine specimens. Fee
ny, although he gives away only two
pounds. looks much the lighter. His
body gllstens in the white light. AS
he closes his gloves his muscles ripple
from wrist to shoulder. and his chest
Is flanked with a padding Of muscle
to back up either hand. Macedonia Is
older. His frame looks almost rigid.
There Is not the same subtle play OF
the muscles, but he seems made Of
iron. and he has abnormally long arms.
His ears look as II they had been
| punched fiat against the side Of his
skull. The referee calls, Seconds
out !"
Exchange Blows From the Start.
The two boxers step into the middle
OF the ring and shake hands. There is
no noise save that Of the slip, slip of
the soft kid boots over the resined
canvas. Feeny feints with his left. but
the other draws back a pace warily.
The feint has told Feeny something,
and there Is the quick phut-phut of
leather on flesh as he leads a left
and right to the head. AS he steps
out the other man steps in and lands
a hard one on the junction Of the ribs.
The blow has told. Still circling,
Feeny gets his man into the salient of
the ropes and rushes In with a we'll
meant but badly planned attack. He
has the shorter reach by inches, and
he knows he must fight to the body
and come inside the long-range blows
OF Macedonia. Then he gets home again
ard the older man is sent hard back
to the ropes, but, being n master of
ringcraft, comes back from them as
IL thrown from a catapult, and his left
comes round with full shoulder weight
behind 1t. Feeny takes 1t ducking, but
too late; the glove ome home over
one eye. The round is over.
Once more the boxers face each
other, but they now know each others
tactics. It is a good round. but when
It finishes 1t shows that the mar with
the shorter reach must get In close to
his opponent, who has the range OF
him. He knows this, too, so he fights
hard, tunneling into Macdona's defense
with 1abs and short-arm hooks, clinch-
| ing when hard pressed and s%mothering
in the break-away. Feeny attacks
with a furry Of quick in-fighting. "Go

In the meantime. the Major had
found Pedro in his room and proceed
ed with him to the White House,
where q distinguished gathering OF
people waited to witness the honor to
be conferred upon Liberty. It was IN
the east room, and the most brilliant
assemblage Of the season was there,
anxiously waiting for the honored
guest. They became impatient to see
Liberty, and the president inquired Of
the Major what was delaying her. But
the Major was surprised himself to
learn that she had not arrived yet, and
explained that she and Bob had left
for the White House before he did.
Finally, as everybody was beginning
to feel anxious. Liberty and Bob were
announced, and the people strained
their necks to get q glimpse Of Liberty
az she passed down the narrow lane
between them. There was tremendous
cheering as she was presented to the
president by his military aide.
Then the president made 4 brief adj
dress, eulogizing Liberty. after which
he pinned o gold medal On her breast.
and announced that the government
was prepared to give q reward to Lib
erty Horton. But Bob interrupted him
right there to say:
