except disappointment.

At the time of this story, relations between the United States and the es- abolished government of Mexico were such that a hostility had sprung up between the troops fronting each other along the Rio Grande and in conse- quenee their officers no longer crossed the boundary, even when off duty. II created a furry of suppressed excite ment, therefore. when Luis Longorio. the autocrat of the PotOSista forces. boldly crossed the bridge traversed the streets of Pueblo, and entered the Hamilton hotel.
 From his seat in the lobby Law heard the general inquire for Mrs. Aus tin. and then saw him ascend in the direction of the parlor. He rose and s'folled reStlessly about the hotel. 4 half-hour passed and Eongorlo did not reappear; an hour dragged by. and then Dave took occasion to go to his room \ glance through the open par Tor door showed the foreigner in closest conversation with Mrs. Austin. They Were laughing; they were alone even Dolores was nowhere 10 be seen He ehewed several cigars viciouSly before realizing that he was jealous-yes madly. unreasonably jealous.
 So! His divinity WAS not as unap- proachable as he had imagined. Doubt less Longorio was mad over her, which explained the fellows willingness to help her exact reparation from his gov ernment. Fine doings for a respect able married woman, It was wrong scandalous, detestable!
 Had Dave only known the truth, he would have gained grim comfort from it, for Alaire Austin was not en- toying herself that evening. Her call CT stayed on interminably, and she be- came restlve under the flow of his con versation. For some reason or other. Longorio was not the romantic figure he had been; in his citizens clothes he was only a dandified Mexican gal lant like any number of others. The color was gone from the picture; this quixotic guerrilla hero. this elegant Ruy Bias, was nothing more than a tall, elive-skinned foreigner. whose ar dor was distasteful. Longorio was tiresome.

 Guzman's delight was keen, his grizzled face beamed, and he showed his white teeth in a smlle "Say no more. What is mine is yours-my house, my cattle, my right hand. I and my sons will serve you, and you must come often to see us. Now I must go." He shook hands heartily and rode away, waving his hat.

CHAPTER xI.
The Rodeo.

It was with feeling of some reluc- tanee that Dave drove up to Las Pal mas shortly after the lunch hour, for he had no desire to meet Young Ed" However, to his relief, Austin did not appear, and fnasmuch as Alaire did not refer to her husband In any way, Dave decided that he must be absent, perhaps on one of his notorious sprees. The mistress of the big ranch was in her harness, having at once assumed her neglected duties. She came to welcome her caller in short khaki riding suit; her feet were ineased in tan boots; she wore q mannish felt hat and gantlet gloves, showing that she had spent the morning in the saddle. Dave thought she looked ex- ceedingly capable and businesslike, and not less beautiful in these clothes; he feasted his eyes cOvertly upon her ''I expected you for luncheon" she smiled; and Dave could have kicked himself. I'm just going out now. If you're not in too great hurry to go home, you may go with me"
 That would be fine" he agreed.
 Come then. I have a horse for you" As she led the way back toward the farm buildings, she explained: I'm selling off bunch of cattle. Be- nito is rounding them up and cutting out the best ones."

A Business institution of any kind

Profit in Field Peas

M. Reilly, whose 240-acre farm
lies one mile west of Potlatch, is
an enthusiast over the Canadian
field pea as a profit producer for
the Palouse farmer. Mr.. Reilly
was in Palouse a few days ago,
bringing with him a two-horse load
of peas, which he had contracted to
deliver here, and which brought
him just $171.5O. Four acres of
peas returned Mr.. Reilly $50 an
acre the past season. Not only do
they bring an excellent price in the
market, but they also make the
best of feed for stock. Next year
he will devote 20 acres of his farm
to growing peas.-Palouse Republic

Early Habits

Usually remain with one during
life. 1t behooves us to see that
the early habits of our children are
the right ones: the ones that will
make for the best influences in
the future.
Along this line we would sug-
gest that the habit of saving and
taking care of money is one that
can hardly be cultivated too soon.
This bank operates a Savings
Department for the express pur-
pose of intoxicating the saving
habit in the young people.

ENEMY ALIENS BARRED.
Recruiting Office Ordered Not to Ac
cept Enemy Subjects.

SSPs -''SH'y SO0JCSeS'
Subjects of enemy countries or coun-
tries in alliance with the enemy are not
wanted in the regular army. An order
issued by AdJutant General McLain OF
the army. Il copy of which has been re-
ceived at the local recruiting station
says: Applicants who are subjects
of the enemy country or country in al
lance with the enemy are not eligible
for enlistment"
According to rumor that has filtered
out from the regular army there is said
to have been many Germans, who en-
listed under assumed names. who pre-
tended to be of American birth, arrest
ed and confined under guard. There
is an unverified rumor that one such
been detained under guard, soon after
he reached Omaha. 1t is said that he
gave an assumed name here and was
accepted after he had made an unSuc-
cessful effort to enlist at Des Moines
The following two recruits were sent
to Omaha to enlist Friday: Raymond
f. Gilgen, MeIbourne: and Hans G.
Hill Gilman. ..
Mahlon Ridgwey. the son of r. r
Eidgway. and Howard Ross, the son OF
c. Fl. Ross, of near Clemens. came here
Friday to enlist in the navy but founC
that the naval recruiting party that
was here last week had moved to State
Center. The young men went to the
latter place to be examined for ac-
ceptance.

of human kindness must be replanted
as 1t were. One dollar subscribers will
be asked for $40, the $25 fellows for

1t looks like big task but when we
remember that single society of 400
members can build a $4,000 church

sell for twice as much. We are going
to bring home this fall in this county
four millions Of dollars more for our
crops than we ever received before for
the crop of a single year If we should
pay per cent war profit tax to the
Red Cross our apportlonment would be
$40 900 But be that as it may, we are
at war. Some men must die and others
must pay.
When the next war loan is announced
the banks Of each community should
promptly call their local committees to-
gether guarantee or underwrite their
allotments and sell them The expert
ence of one village banker should be a
lesson. He did not want anything done
in his community because the people
subscribing would all draw money from
his bank. An appeal was made direct
to the citizens with the result that the
allotment was subscribed twice over
and all of it was checked out or our
friends bank. Had he UNDERWATER
his allotment he could have stopped
the draft on his community with the
loss of only half the funds which ne
had to meet. On the other hand those
