Fifteenth EPISODE
The Sting Of Victory.
DARK HOURS.

ftvas shortly after sunrise when the
A. shots signaled the attempt of
pfria Channing's little handful of pa
s4odc adventurers to stem the inva-
dou of American soil by the allied
frrce Of Mexicans and japanese COM
handed by Baron Huroki.
Pstria's first move, then, was to dis
uteh kilograms to the nearest post of
ne United States army as well as to
Washington. giving notice of the inva-
ion and asking for help.
Within an hour, japanese field bat
tries, Smelling with shrapnel the ad-
vunced trenches which commanded the
International boundary line, had rem
dared them untenable and japanese
infantry had swarmed over them In
pursuit Of the retreating defenders.
At the same time Baron Huroki and
his staff. taking possession Of Patria's
hacienda, had converted 1t into field
headquarters. From its patio Huroki
directed the efforts of his troops to
overcome the resistance of the de-
tenders.
The latter had meanwhile occupied
their main intrenchments, far strong
er position furrowing the ridge OF a
range Of low hills lying back of the
hacienda and something slightly less
than a mile north of the border line
Here they took root stubbornly. De
spite the disparity between their mum
bers and those Of the invaders, they
threw back charge after charge o.
japanese and Mexican infantry, with
ering and blasting them with the ma
chine-gun fire which sprayed the ter
rain with death as a garden hos
sprays a lawn with life: while thei
batteries, cunningly secreted back o
the hills and directed in mastery fash
ion. kept the guns of the invaders too
busily on the move to permit their do
ing much damage to the trenches.
But If the defenders fought with un
shakable determination and fearless
ness, they fought with despair in theil
hearts. For their commanding eleva
ton permitted them to overlook al
the land between them and the bound
airy, and they could hardly help beini
appalled, by the flood Of allied troop:
which was sweeping across the Dor
der and arraying against them.
Again urgent prayers for aid were
dispatched to the authorities.
As before. they gained no acknowl
edgment Of any sort.
Failing to take the main lint
trenches by assault, Huroki ordered
his forces to fall back and dig them
