CHAPTER XIII.

On Tuesday afternoon badly shak
or, exceedingly frightened young man
called at Campboll pope's boarding
house
Bob. Been on another bat?" cried
Pope, If sight Of his caller. Wharton
took Aoetjng glance at himself in a
Eirror and nodded, noting for the first
time Ii" sacks beneath his eyes. the
h0ggal lines from nostriis to lip cor
ners.
I'm an in Lorelers quit me-" he
said. duly
"Quit you" Pope frowned, "Tcl me
about it,"
well, climbed the vine again and
fell off, She packed up--disappcarcd--

| can't find Ter. Nobody seems to
know where she is. I I'm hard
hit, Pope. God, keep think
iug that maybe she took the river. You
see. I'm all gone" He sank into n
chair, tWitching and trembling in Il
nervous collapse.
"Bottcr have a drink" Pope suggest
ed, but Bob returned roughly:
THAT'S what broke up The sketch |

weekend party-fast crowd, and the
usual trimmings. Never again, That
IS, II find my wife,
"rcnroIcourt, Suppose you tell me
al! about it. If there's chance that
it's suicide" Pepe's reportorial in
et.uct brought the last word into tuxta-
position with "Fcnnellcourt ana he
saw black headlines.
Judge Tor yourself. Maybe YOU can
help me; nobody else can" Bob re-
counted the story of the house party.
He could remember little Of Sundays
occurrences; not until late that evening
had he fully grasped the fact that Lo-
relief had gone. Even then he was too
befudd'cd to act Neither Mrs. Fen
nell nor her husband could give him
any help, and Bert IIayman had been
confined to his room all day Sunday as
the result of a fall or an accident OF
some sort Monday morning while
still suffering from the effects of his
spree. Bob had returned to the city to
find his home deserted, and he could
find no trace of Lorelei in any quarter.
SO, as a last resort before calling in
the police. he had come to Pope. When
he had finished his somewhat muddled
tale he stared at the critic with loo;
of dumb appeal.
Campbell began in matter.of-fact,

healthy to think Of suicide; rest easy
on that score. You're weak enough
emotionally to do such a thing, but

both believed Lorelci to be an infa-

For the purpose of aiding in the
dissemination Of publicity regarding
the milo crop in the county, the I'M
perial Valley Bankers Association has
contributed $35 to the County Farm
Bureau.
The large acreage-1O5,0 5,000-of milo
shis season requires that much at
.ention be given the irrigation. Coun-
tv Farm Rdviser Paul /. Dougherty is
u"ging the ranchers to thoroughly
soak the soil before planting and to
10 this during the period when there
is plenty Of water available.
During May and June there is more
water available than can be used and
and the ranchers ar erequested to
utilize this excess so as to care for
lossible shortages of water in Au-
gust, when the cotton crops demands
regular irrigations, for which a large
iolue of water is required.

Next Tuesday has been set as the
way upon which the campaign for
members of the Imperial Vallep chap
ter of the American Red Cross will
legin.
By that time the campaign commit
tee, composed of J. E. Davis, Mrs. O..
G. Horne and Mrs. Violette Camp
bell, will have built up the organi-
zation which will cover the city in
q canvass aimed to include every
house.
Announcement of their appointment
has resulted in many men and wom-
en-, who, although busy with their or
binary tasks, have volunteered their
help in the campaign. AS the Red
Cross offers the only medium through
which the civilian rank and file can
assist in military relief work, it is
expected that Imperial Valley will
express its support in several thou
sand memberships. The Red Cross is
the only officially recognized volun-
teer aid department of the War and
Navy departments.
The committee will not be satisfied
with less than 1000 members in Ell
Centre and is setting the mark at
1000. With the membership as the
first activity of the chapter, the plans
already outlined provide for early
work in providing supplies for the
field forces. Some Of these articles
are outlined in the following Red
Cross circular received here:
What and What Not to Send.
If you can't give you time and serv-
ices to the Red Cross, there are many
supplies you can donate which will

amounts, for the use cf soldiers and

British Royal Aero Squad
ron Brings Down Three
Raiders in Channel.
(By Associated Press)

London, May 26.-About sixteen
German airships raided the southeast
&C asst of England last night and killed
76 and injured 1874. Three German
raiders were brought down. Nearly
all the damage occurred in one town,
where the bombs fell in the streets,
causing casualties among civilians.
Iwenty-seven women and twenty
tree children were killed and forty
three women and nineteen children
were injured. The aeroplanes of the
loyal Flying Corps purseued the raid
ers and brought down three in the
English channel.
1t is considered the most ambitious
air raid yet undertaken by the Ger
mans. The raid occurred when the
streets were crowded with shoppers,
rromenaders and workmen returning
home. The raiders dropped large
number Of bombs apparently in hep
hazard manner, being from one to two
niles above the town. The first
squadron flew so high that they could
rot be seen except with glasses. The
bright sun added to the difficulty of
detecting the raiders.
The raiders sailed in a bee line
across the town, the lower airships
dropping BONES continuously. The
chief damage was done in the shop
ring district and in the residential
districts, where the bombs complete.
ly destroyed the houses.
