Chtef justice Stirred.
The day broke under lowering clouds,
with . breeze that snapped the bat
tlensgs that once were raised trium-
phant at Bull Run, Chancellorsyille,
Lookout Mountain and through the
Valley Of Virginia. Slowly, the grey
ranks marshaled and CAME to atten-

Durst OF light, the sun came forth
and warmed the men OF Dixie.
Out OF the great history-making
staged in Pennsylvania avenue yes
terady morning, a single incident
looms big as keynote and motif Of
the affair. As the slowly pacing ranks
and turned west Into the Court of
Honor, before the White House, a
heavy, elderly man stepped from the
crowd and buried himself in the ranks
OF the Louisiana veterans.
:, instantly, the word ran along the
Chief Justice White"
1t was no other. The Chief Justice
Of the United States, had held
on from joining the ranks Of his Louis
lana comrades until they had nearly
marched their course, but as they
swung west into the Court Of Honor,
a little thread OF soul-sIirring melody
moved the great man, and he for
sock the crowds to join the marchers
and he marched past the President, to
the very end of the course.

was an American reunion, for behind
the men in blue and gray, marched
the close ranks Of the men who will
command Americas army in Europe.
Behind them came infantry, artillery
hlazoned on their uniforms-as well as
Cadets from military schools and
civilian organizations Of all sorts.
At the White House. gathering In
dent, Mrs. Wilson. the Vice President,
Mrs. Marshall, with their aides and
Secret Service guards.
Some one estimated, after the pa
rade had passed, that there were
1000 in line. There probably were,
tons had place in the line Of march.
The Marine Band led them all, but
there were bands at every block or
two, with United Confederate choirs,
the Ladies' Memorial Association and
nearly 60 women serving as sponsors,
maids Of honor, matrons and chape-
rOnes.
The parade marked the high-water
mark of the greatest reunion in the
history of the veterans of the South.
It marked the last big event Of the
celebration. There was a business
meeting at the New Willard later in
the afternoon; there were several re-
cspttons during the evening and last
night: there were farewell balls, both
public and private, all over town, but
the parade was the real finish Of the
reunicn-and a fitting finish at that.

sessed the chemical formula. Adams,
for reasons of his own, hid the docu-
ment in his military belt. He thought
that he alone knew where it had been
Secreted.
To Major Brent the southern detail
was most welcome one, for he looked
upon it as an opportunity to be re
lieved of the constant persecution Of
Bertha Bonn who seldom let a day
pass without making an effort to be-
guile him and finally threatened to
expose their affair to Pearl Dare.
AS well may be imagined, therefore,
when on leaving Washington on the
long overland journey, Brent ran
across the girl on his train and discov-
cred that she also was bound for the
Granadian frontier, his rage knew no
bounds. He became possessed Of one
idea--how TO evade her forever.
The circumstances were more than
startling when that way opened. His
party had arrived and were domiciled
at Fort Gordon, a military post Of
strategic value. adjacent to the com
munity of Paso del Norte. He had
gone to the hotel to prevent a meet
ing between Pearl and Bertha, which
the latter had succeeded in conniving
for that night.
Seated at corner table in the rude
basement bar, Brent bolstered his
courage with julep.
Brent was In the act OF lighting u
cigarette when faint shadow crept
upon the wall in front of him and a
soft, purring voice in foreign accents
whispered in his err:
do not turn, senior. 1t would be
dangerous. You desire to efface Ber-
tina Bonn from your life; Ell, senior?
Ali That will be easy and ut no in
convenience to the major. II will hap
pen tonight, IL the senior officer. who
desires the colonel's daughter to for
get forever about Captain Payne will
follow the written directions"
The voice ceased. The shadow faded
Brent sat as still as stone for sec
ond. When he looked about no one
was within immediate talking distance
He put on his hat, paid his bill,
and stepped outdoors. Here he almost
ran over a little halfbreed girl, who,
to his surprise, thrust into his hand
nosegay and quickly disappeared
around the corner Of the building.
A note was fastened to the stem.
Send Pearl Dare alone in the twilight
to the pass before Bertha Bonn arrives at
Fort Gordon" the note read, "she must

DISCUSSES and positions of security.
Events thickened. Fretted by our
alien laws. the Orient, whose glittering
eyes were fastened upon our Asiatic
possessions, kept us in a constant ex-
pectancy. With Canada, our northern
neighbor, we had no difficulty except
that by her we were not regarded
with the old-time friendliness; rather
were we in disfavor because of our
neutral position with all powers then
ut war in Europe, of which her mother
country was one. On our southern ex-
posture we were always in hot water;
and now added fire had been heaped
under the troublesome diplomatic
kettle and Granada was boiling.
AS precautionary measure Colonel
Dare and his staff were detailed south
to quietly establish base patrols on the
Granadian frontier and meet and con-
fer with the American consul, whose
passports had been handed TO him by
the Granadian government. Miss Pearl
car, accompanied them.
To Orderly Adams il must be adj
mitted, the orders TO go south came
as though they had been long expected,
and he prepared. AS soldier he had
developed with remarkable aptitude
and was eager to see real service. AS
IA private individual, SO far as his open
conduct was concerned, the confidence
of the Dares seemed to have been war
ranted. Unknown to anyone, however,
except the foreign alliance, Adams
was really not what he represented
himself TO be, or at least was open to
serious doubts as to the patriotic side
Of his character. For Adams was the
possessor OF the secret canal-defense
plans. This much-speculated-about
military document was in the slim, OBJ
long packet brought to him by Bertha
Bonn in the committee room of Sena-
tor Warfield. 1t came from the foreign
alliance, who, by their own error,
thought they had sent him a copy,
when too late realizing their mistake,
for the ink I'm the plans had faded en-
tirely rendering them illegible until
another chemical application could be
made. This, for the time being II was
impossible to do because no one pos

carried an interminable distance
through an underground passage, and
flung into corner in damp cellar.
A tall, heavily built and altogether
stunning Granadian leaped upon her,
leashing her arms to her waist and
binding her ankles together. He
jerked Adams belt from her. Coarse
ness and brutality, and that he was
grandiloquent and cunning type,
were stamped upon his features as he
stood over her.
she crouched back, disheveled, un-
afraid, searching her brain to account
for his audacity in kidnapping her that
night on American soil and right under
the eyes and ears of an American bor-
der garrison.
He seemed to be musihg over the
belt with his back partly toward her.
Just behind him cluster Of electric
lights from some unknown and fitful
cdrrent burned in the ceiling, reflect
ing shadow against the farther wall.
There was something unusual about
this shadow, for while Bolero-for it
was he-stood like stone, the shadow
was animated.
Although Pearl had never heard Bo-
lero's voice, she was quick to recognize
something odd in the Granadlan ac-
cents which were now spoken.
"Senor has badly Numbered. This
is not the girl, although this is the belt.
Senior will hide the belt somewhere.
The girl must be released at once. She
is the American colonel's daughter and
Captain Payne was to have been her
husband"
Pearl not only heard this speech
In surprise, for she could not see Bo-
lero's lips move at all, but what was
more confusing was the disappearance
of the shadow though Bolero had not
changed his position.
His meditation, II such II was, came
to an end. He concealed the belt in
cache and approached her.
"Ze Mees Dare-her pardonl La
Bolero, he make 'um meestake. She
shall be-what is II you say-set loose,
yes |"
He was STOPPING, as IL to free her,
when her fingers touched his revolver,
clutched it; and she held him at bay
before he quite comprehended what
had transpired.
The place suddenly filled with Boz
lerCists, one Of whom knocked the
weapon to the floor, too greatly ex-
cited to pay further heed to her. The
flying revolver fell near where was

Meanwhile, Bertha Bonn will disappear"
Brent leaped upon his horse and sent
for Adams as soon as he arrived at
the fort.
Let me have your belt, sir" he de-
manded when the latter appeared.
There was nothing to do but obey
the superior officer.
When he was alone Brent scruti-
nized the belt with great care. Ii did
not seem TO differ In any respect from
the common article. Afterwards he
sent for Pearl, with whom he had a
long and serious talk.
That evening Pearl set out alone on
horseback, laughingly refusing an
escort and stating that she did not in
tend to go far or be absent long. In
the holster of Adams belt, which Ma
jor Brent insisted upon adjusting
around her waist, was loaded re-
volver. Toxic was to fetch Bertha Bonn
about the hour fixed for her return.
Twilight deepened into darkness.
She dug the spurs into the TANKS OF
her mare SO as to reach her destina-
ton quickly for she was eager to Aac-
complish her ,errand. Suddenly the
mare stumbled and fell, throwing her.
She rose unhurt. The mare, however,
lay writhing with a broken leg. Pearl
drew her revolver and shot the mare.
She realized that she was alone in
an unknown country. Yet she was
not alarmed, even when, after dis
charging her revolver in the air, no
sign Of assistance appeared. Present
ly there did appear light moving rap
idly and drawing nearer every sec
ond. After an interval, an automobile
shove in sight. Toxic was at the wheel |;
in the rear, sat Miss Bonn.
In that same instant Orderly Adams
rode toward her like. mad, and there
doomed out Of the shadows a body of
horsemen intent upon doing harm.
Pearl was lifted by two powerful arms
and tossed upon a saddle in front Of a
huge and evil-eyed foreigner A fu-
sillade of shots followed, blanket
was thrown over her head, and she
could neither see nor hear more.
At the end Of half-hour of hard
riding she was seized from the horse.
