(Continued from Page One)' had plenty of good intentions. He pointed out defects. saying:
 The twelfth army before Riga did not refuse to fight and die, but we need men to fight and win victories. The fleet does not refuse to fight but at the same time 1t murders it's officers. We hear many worthy words about the army and fleet, but We have a great many deserters. The glorious victories on the southwest front in July terminated in a disgraceful re- treat.
 ''In the rear we have reinforce ments, but the men at the front do not accept them because they bring discord and regiments with historic records cannot accept such men,"
 General Verkhovsky repeated his announced program Of changing the army commanders, educating the troops along free revolutionary lines based on mutual trust between officers and men and the disbandipg of the useless hordes in the rear. The speech contained little comfort for the paci- fists in the audience.
 The war minister is a young man. about the age of Kerensky. He spoke in a low even voice and re- ferred frequently to notes, gradually working up to a climax, when he de- clared in a ringing voice: 'aThe war must be continued until with certainty we have achieved the peace desired by all--peace with freedom"

 cool dining room at the Mountain house, they fingered together over a long-drawn-out dinner. The better-in- formed guests by asides indicated their presence to others. They described them as the hardy couple who had first met in stiff Frontier day rife match, which the girl had won. Her defeated rival-the man now most regarded and feared in the mountain country-was the man with the reticent mouth mild eyes, curious birthmark, and with the two little, perplexed wrinkles visible most of the time just between his dark eyebrows, the man listening intently to every syllable that fell from the lips of the trimly bloused. active girl oppo. site him, leaning forward in he, eager. ness to tell him things. Her jacket hung over the back of her chair. and she herself was referred to by the more fanciful as queen of the outlaw camp at Music mountain.
 The two were seen together that day about town by many, for the story of their courtship was still yelled in mys. tery md afforded ground for the widest speculation, while that of their difficulties, and such particulars as Do Spain's fruitless efforts to eonciliata Duke Morgan and Dukes open threats against De Spain's life were widely known. All these details made the movement and the fate of the young couple the object of keenly curious comment
 In the late afternoon the two rode almost the whole length of Main street together on their way to the river bridge. Everyone knew the horsedesh they besTode-none cleaner-limbed, hardier or faster in the high country. Those that watched them amble slow ly past, laughing and talking, intent only on each other, erect, poised and motiOnless, as if nodded to their sad dies, often spoke of having seen Nan and her lover that day. It was a long time before they were seen riding down Main street together again.

CHAPTER XXI.
De Spain Worries.

They parted that evening under the shadow of Music mountain, agreed to meet in Calabasas just as soon as Nan could get away. She hoped, she told him, to bring good news. De Spain arranged his business to wait at Gala basas for her, and was there. after two days, doing little but waiting and listening to McAlpin's stories about the fire and surmises as to strange men that lurked in and about the place. But De Spain knowing Jeffrles was making an independent investi- gation into the affair, gave no heed to McAlpin's suspicious.
 To get away from the barn boss, Dc Spain took refuge in riding. The sea son was drawing on toward winter, and rain clouds drifting at intervals down from the mountains made the saddle a less dependable escape from the monotony of Calabasas. Several days passed with no sight of Nan and no word from her. De Spain, as the hours and days went by, scanned the horizon with lncreaslpg soncltuue' When he woke on the sixth morning, he was resolved to send scout into the gap to learn what he could of the situation. The long silence, De Spain knew, portended nothing good. He sent to the stable for Bull Page.
