A Washington luncheon of six courses
was served at Cafe Shepard to-day at
o'clock, the luncheon being given by Mrs.
Frank M. Lynde of Wellington street
and Mrs. L. X. Hutchinson of Wellington
street TO about 25 ladies who were
dressed in the antique gowns of Martha
Washington's day. The dining room was
very prettily decorated for the occasion
in the national colors. Red, white and
blue crepe paper was suspended from
the ceiling of the room in way that
formed beautiful canopy over the ia
bles occupied by the women. In the
center a large portrait of George Wash
ington was placed with all ends of the
red, white and blue paper pointing to-
ward the father of his country.
Residents of Maple avenue were star
tied one afternoon recently on hearing a
L. - Z
ing of a cannon. They found that the
roof of the barn of A. Fine had slid off
to the rear of the buildings. The cause
of the accident was the weight OF snow
which had accumulated through the win
ter, which loosened the sticks that held
the roof to the framework of the barn. |
The roof was of peculiar shape, hav
ing a slant from the caves TO about half |
way to the ridgepole, and from this point |
it went to the ridgepole on a more grad |
ual incline. 1t was the upper part of the
roof which slid, both sides of the roof !
dropping to the ground. Luckily there |
was no one in the vicinity and no dam
age occurred in the interior of the build I
ing. Mr.. Fine will put temporary roof
over the building, as he has good deal
of second hand furniture in this section
Of the building.

md worked in the Waterbury sheds, but

lad been failing steadily from a tuber-
'ular trouble and of late had had several
,ad spells. Monday he was in a de-
pondent mood and took the poison

ARMY REGISTRATION
 WILL BE ENFORCED
ATTORNEY GENERAL GREGORY ORDERS SLEUTHS TO CLOSE

KAISER'S HAND SUSPECTED
Entire Nation Invited To Constitute Itself a Committee as Whole and Every Man of Military Age
 Should Report Slackers.

Washington. Attorney General Gregory instructed United States at- torneys and marshals throughout the country to use their utmost efforts to arrest and prosecute all persons re- sponsible for the agitation which has manifested itself in localities from New England to Texas against the registration June of men subject to selective draft.
 This agitation has made itself felt somewhat in many sections, but thus far there apparently is little connec- tion between the outbreaks. Officials have undertaken an exhaustive in- vestigatiQn to determine if the whole antidraft sentiment is not rooted in extensive machinations of German propagandists in this country, having a central headquarters.
 Color to this theory is lent, in some degree, by the marked similarity in the method of procedure in widely separated communities. Some off, cials believe that the entire agitation is manufactured by German agents, who, baflled in their original pro- gramme calling for an armed upris- ing of German reservists in this coun- try upon Americas entry into the war, have turned their energies to this method of hindering the military plans of the government.
 If such is the case the conspiracy will come to nothing officials believe. The Department of Justice, it was au- thoritatively announced, expects 100 per cent of eligibles to register, and prompt prosecution under the crimi- nal provisions of the law will be in- stituted in the few cases where the law is not observed.
 To bring out the full registration, Attorney General Gregory invited the entire nation to constitute itself a committee of the whole and every man of military age a committee of one to report slackers.

While De Spain, standing close to the lantern, deciphered the brief note, Bull, wrapping his blanket about him with the air of one whose responsibil- ity is we'll ended, held out his hands toward the blazing stove. De Spain went over the words one by one, and the letters again and again. It was, after all their months of ardent meet ings, the first written message he had ever had from Nan. He famed an- grily at the news that she was pris- oner in her own home, But there was much to weigh in her etched words, much to think about concerning her feelings-not alone concerning his own.
 He dropped into his chair, and, ob- livious for moment of his compan- ions presence, stared into the fire. When he started from his revery Bull was asleep. De Spain picked him up, carried him in his blanket over to cot, cut the wet rags off him, and rolling him in second blanket, walked out into the barn and ordered up team and light wagon for Sleepy Cat. The rain fell all night.

CHAPTER XIII.
A Surprisinu Slip.

Scott was called by Lefever to con- clude in secret the final arrangements. The ground about the quaking asp grove, and nearest Fl Capitan, afford ed the best concealmeut close to the gap. And to this point Scott was di- rected to bring what men he could be- fore daybreak the following morning.
 'It's a short notice to get many men together-of the kind we want" admitted Lefever. You'll have to skirmish some between now and mid night. What do you think you can do?"
 Scott had already made up tenta- tive list. He named four-first Far rell Kennedy, who was in town, and said nobody should go if he didn't; Frank Elpaso, the Texan; the English man, Tommy Meggeson; and Wick wire, If he could be located-any one of them, Lefever knew, could give an account of himself under all circum- stances.
 While Scott was getting his men to- gether, De Spain, accompanied by Le- fever, was riding toward Music noun tain. Scott had urged on them but one parting caution-not to leave the aspens until rain began falling. When he spoke there was not cloud in the sky. Its going to rain tonight, just the same" predicted Scott. Don't leave the trees till it gets going. Those gap scouts will get under cover and be hunting for drink the minute 1t gets cold-I know them. You can ride right over their toes. if you'll be pa- tent"

 "She looked worrit for minit Then she looks around. grabs up the cover of an empty 'bacco box and fork and begins a-writing inside" Bull with as much of smile as he could call into life from his broken nerves, opened up his blanket, drew carefully from an inside coat pocket an oilskin package, unwrapped from 1t the fiat. square top of tin tobacco box. on which Nan had scratched message. and handed 1t triumphantly to De Spain.
 He read her words eagerly:
 "Wait; don't have trouble. I can StaDd anything better than bloodshed. Henry. Be patient"
The Ozark spectator., 1917-06-06

The sun set across the range in drift of grayish-black, low-lying clouds, which seemed only to await it's disappearance to envelop the noun tains and empty their moisture on the desert. By the time De Spain and Le- fever reached the end of their long ride a misty rain was drifting down from the west. The two men had just ridden into the quaking asps when a man coming out of the gap almost rode into them. The intruders had halted and were sufficiently hidden to escape notice, had not Lefever's horse indscreetly coughed. The man from the gap refined up and called out. Le- fever answered.
 "It's Bull Page" declared De Spain, after the exchange of a few words,

"It Can't Go On Forever"

calling to Bull at the same time to come over to the shelter of the trees.
 What's going on in there, Bull?' asked De Spain after Bull had told him that Gale had driven him out, and he was heading for Calabasas.
 You tell" retorted Page. Looks to me like old Dukes getting ready to die. Gale says he's going to draw his will tonight. and don't want no- body around-got old Judge Druel in there"
 De Spain pricked up his ears. What's that, Druel?" he demanded. Bull repeated his declaration. Lefe- yer broke into violent language at the Sleepy Cat jurist's expense. and ended by declaring that no will should be drawn in the gap that night by Duke Morgan or anybody else, unless he and Bull were made legatees.
 Beyond this nothing could be learned from Bull, who was persuad- ed without difficulty by Lefever to abandon the idea of riding to Calaba- Sas through the rain, and to spend
  hood. wherever fancy, the rain, and the wind-which was rising-should dictate.
 While the two were talking, De Spain tried to slip away, unobserved by Lefever, on his errand. He failed, as he expected to, and after some fa- miliar abuse, rode off alone, fortified hy every possible suggestion at the hands of a man to whom the slightest precaution was usually a joke.
 De Spain reached Dukes ranch un- challenged. Night had fallen every where, and the increasing rain ob- scured even the outline of the house. Eut a light shone through one uncur- tained window. He waited some time for q sound of life, for a door to open or close, or for the dog to bark-he heard nothing. Slipping out of the wet saddle, he led his horse in the darkness under the shelter of the lone pine tree and, securing him, walked slowly toward the house.
 Mindful of the admontiOns he had been loaded with, he tramped around the house In narrowing circles, paus- ing at times to look and listen. In like manner he circled the barn and stables, until he had made sure there was no ambush and that he was alone outside. After q time he stepped around to the front of the house, where, screened by bit of shrubbery, he could peer at close range into the living room.
 Standing before the fire burning in the open hearth, and with his back to it, he now saw Gale Morgan. Sit ting bolt upright beside the table. square -jawed and obdurate, his stubby gripped in his great teeth, Duke Nor gan looked uncompromisingly past his belligerent nephew into the fire. A third and elderly man, heavy, red faced, and almost toothless as he spoke, sat to the right of the table in a rocking chair, and looked at Duke; this was the old lawyer and justice from Sleepy Cat, the sheriff's broth er-Judge Druel.
 Nan was not to be seen. Gale, big talking, and energetically, as was his habit. Duke listened thoughtfully, but seemingly with coldness. Druel looked from Gale to Duke, and ap- peared occasionally to put in a word to carry the argument along.
