she might spy out the situation be
fore running on into possible peril.
She had brought with her, for just
such use, a pair of binoculars belong
ing to Donald. Now she unslung and
focus sed these.
Of IL t'lc right, at the bottom of
the cup, stood the unlovely huddle of
mill buildings. Her glasses showed the
yard gates closed and guar ded by
armed sentries.
On her left the singie-track railroad
spur issued from between hills and
sloped down across-country to the
mills On this she discovered a train
consisting Of half dozeE ears and a
locomotive, all strangely nctionless-
strangely, since the cars were out
ward bound, the locomotive had steam
up, and no reasonable excuse was APP
parent. for the stop in that particular
place.
The circumstances made Patria
wonder duly it, possibly, the railroad
people had Joined hands with her en-
ployees and declared a sympathetic
strike.
Dismissing this thought for the
nonce, she turned attention to the
town.
This last lay In the middle distance,
half concealed by an intervening rise
of wooded land. But the smoke of its
burning buildings was billowing up in
the still morning air.
A stentorian putting called her inter-
est back to the train of freight cars.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1917-08-29

The locomotive was getting under way
with vast complaints because of the
strain of the upgrade pull.
With start Patria discovered that
the rear car had been uncoupled and
its brakes thrown off. AS the train
moved uphill, it was moving downhill,
at first slowly under unassisted mo-
mentum, but momentarily gathering
way through the attraction of gravity.
1t was at most mile from the
mills. By the time the car had COW
cred half that distance on that steep
grade it would be careering dowhhill
at express speed. When it struck the
mill-yard gates it would cave them in
like eggshells.
Horrors frigid hand clutchnd at
Patrla's heart as she realized thar this
thing had come to pass through no ac-
cident but through deliberate and
fiendish design.
That freight car was loaded to its
caves with high-explosive. When the
crash came, the Charming mills would
be wiped off the face of the earth.
Without conscious thought the girl
released the brakes and swiftly cOaxed
tse motor to its utmost.
There was a bare chance that she
might save the mills and the many
loyal men who guarded it-including,
doubtless, her Donald.
About an eighth of Il mile from the
yard gates the road crossed the rail-
road tracks; if she could but forestall
the freight car at that junction. :
She had half a mile to go the freight
car was moving at good speed before
her racer was even started. 1t was
gambling with death, but Patria could
not refuse the game because the stakes
were high.
Miraculously, as it seemed to her
when she was permitted time for
retrospect, she made it.
The freight car was a hundred yards
distant and bearing down like a Jug
gernaut gone mad, when she stalled
the motOr-car on the rails, jumped,
and ran for dear life.
The ensuing explosion was like the
trumpet of Doom. Patria, lifted bodily
from her feet, was flung to earth again
with stunning force.
When she came to her senses again
there was neither freight not motor
car TO be seen-nothing but a great
gap in the tracks, a craterlike hole in
the ground.
But that was nothing: Donald ParI
was bending over her, lifting her in his
arms: and he was whole and I'M

U. S. GUNNERS LOST
AMERICANS BELIEVED ABOARD
U-BoAT DESTROYED BY
FRENCH WAESHiP.
TANKER FOUGHT TO THE LAST
Survivors Of the campana Reach Port
on Warship and Tell of oes-
perate Fight With German
Submarine.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 24.-FfVe
U. S. navy gunners as well as the i'm
prisoned captain of the Standard OIL
tanker Campana may have died in the
submarine U-2, which sank the vessel,
according to Third Officer j. Ii. Bruce,
who, with 40 members of the snip
crew and eight of the gun crew, ar
rived here on a French steamship.
1t had been feared that the five naval
gunners, captured when the Campaha
was sunk, would be treated by the Ger
mans as pirates Gas threatened anu
executed with short shrift.
However, according to the story
brought by the survivors, a French
war vessel sent 10 the bottom Ger
man diver, which may have been the
one that sank the Campana, in brlef
time after 1t had put an end to the
Campana and ait about the same spot,
without taking anyone off.
The Campana, 1t seems, fought OH
the U-boat until its ammunition was
exhausted. One hundred and eighty
shots were fired by the tanker, against
400 by the diver, two of which hit.
The battle began at 5 a. m. and was
waged for four hours at range OF
between 1900 and 1900 yards.
After the Campana hoisted the IN
ternational signal of surrender. its last
shell gone, the submarine continued to
fire, Mr.. Bruce said, and all hands took
to the boats.
The U-boat commander first APP
preached the boat commanded by MIR.
Bruce, which had aboard the Cam
pana's IS naval gunners, and ordered
1t alongside. He then went TO the life
boat occupied by Capt Albert Oliver
of the Campana and took him prisoner
with five of the guSners.
Bruce and his men were rescued by
a French warship.
The warship took them aboard and
landed them in France. Mr.. Bruce
said he was told by an officer OF the
war vessel that he had heard wire
less message from another French
cruiser, saying that it had sunk Ger
man submarine in the vicinity of the
place where the Campana had been
sunk.

SEEK DrAz,s LITE STORY.

Mexico City. May 2s.-Earnest search is being made for the ::'auto- biography of Porfirio Diaz," news of which has just come to light here. It Is alleged that Diaz in 1892 com pleted book covering his life ex- periences and administrations up to that time. This book. it ifs said he wished made public only after his death. Only 100 copies were struck of. The original manuscript was de- stroyed by Diaz. 1t is said, and the 100 copies placed in g chest and put away. One of these copies according to Diaz directions was to 60 to each state governor on Diaz' death but Diaz died in exile in Spain and the interesting and valuable historical document has not been discovered.
