President Wilson recently
said "ln 10 direction can
american women so greatly
assist~in the winning of the
war as by enlisting in the SER
vices Of the Food Administ-
ration and cheerfully accept
ing it's direction and advice"
Are you fighting for America
or helping Prussia? If you are
economizing in your use of
wheat, meat, butter and sugar
you are fighting with Amer
lea, but if you are wasting
food you are helping the
Kaiser. We 81 ould eat all
We need, but should eat wisely
and without waste. We can
do this by buying less, by
buying reasonable supplies,
by serving smaller portions,
by using poultry, game and
fish in place OF beef, mutton
and pork, by using corn meal
and other cereal flour in place
Of wheat -four and by using
less sugar. TO keep our own
soldiers and those of our al
lies in fighting trim by furn-
ishing them Unnecessary food
is our duty. AS free peo-
! pile We have elected to dis
charge this duty, nut under
autocratic decree, but with
out other restraint than the
guidance of individual con-
science.

turned out very cheaply and that all
women would then find the total eX-
pense of their clothes amounting to
about $3.50 a year for a complete new
outfit. A thrifty woman could, of
course, save on this by making hers
last as did our grandmothers' best
black silk.
1t sounds like the millennium. To
be as well dressed as any one else,
no matter who! I am almost per-
suaded.
But-the fixed type of hat? I don't
see how one could live all ones life
in a fixed type of hat. And the fixed
type of frocks would be intensely be-
coming to about one-third of the wom-
en- the world, while the other two
thirds of us would probably be snatch
ed away by the farmers to be used
as scarecrows. The uniform plan, IL
it has it's advantages, also has its
drawbacks.
Nevertheless, although I frankly ad-
init that | adore pretty clothing, / do
believe that we women have got to
free ourselves from this tyrannical,
mental preoccupation, this modern hys-
terra which makes raiment the end and
aim of existence, before we shall really
begin to live in the wider, truer, more
joyous sense. Will you write and tell
me what you think about it? I am
anxious to know how women feel on
this subject.

inn. Under it, If you look, you'll find
his belt of cartridges. Don't take my
word-look for yourself"
Giving this information time to sink
in, McAlpin continued. Mans eyes had
turned despite her indifference, to the
coat; but she was thinking more in.
tently about the belt which McAlpin
asserted hung under 1t. "You want to
know what he did go down to the hotel
for that afternoon? l happen to know
that, too," averred McAlpin, sitting
down, but respectfully, on the edge of
the chair. First want to say this:
worked for your Uncle Duke five
years."
He paused to give Nan a chance to
dispute the statement If she so desired.
Then, taking her despairing silence as
an Endorsement of his position in Civ.
ing her a confidence, he went on !:
Henry de Spain is dead" he said qui-
etly. She eyed him without so much
as winking. 81 wouldn't tell it, if he
wasn't. The boys dead. And he was
always talking about you. It's Gods
truth, and since he's dead it harms no
one to tell it to you, though I'd never
breathe 1t to another. He was fairly
gone on you.
"You don't have to knock me down,
Miss Nan, to put me wise about a
mans being keen on a girl I'm a mar
ried man." declared McAlpin with
mn6nCf nridn NTTa -
time he was fooling me, and keeping
covered. Now, that afternoon he came
in here kind of moody. 1t was an an
niveEsary for him, and hard one-the
day his father was shot from am
bush-a good many years ago, but
nary one of us had forgot it. Then
he happened to see your pony-this
same pony you're riding today-a-
standing back there in the box-stall.
He asked me whose 1t was; and he
asked me about you, and, by jinx the
way he perked up when 1 told him
you were coming in on the stage that
afternoon! When he heard you'd been
sick, he was for going down to the
hotel to get cup of coffee-for you ~
McAlpin, like any good story-teller,
was already on his feet again. "He
did it," he exclaimed, "and you know
what he got when he stepped into the
barroom." He took hold of De Spain's
coat and held 1t aside to enter his
exhibit. "There," he concluded, "is
his cardridge belt, hanging there yet.
The boy Is dead-why shouldn't tell
you?"
Nan rode home much more excited,
more bewildered than when she had
ridden over. Strangest shock of all
that this man of all other men should
profess to care for her. She had
shown anger when McAlpln dared
speak of 1t; at least, she thought she
had. And she still did not know how
sufficiently to resent the thought of
such audaclty on De Spain's part.
This was, to say the least, further
awkward complication for her feelings.
She already had enough to confuse
them.

McAipfn that De Spain had really been
trapped and had left his cartridge belt

McAlpin, the situation now in hand,
took his time to 1t. He leaned forward
in manner calculated to invite conf
dence without giving offense. Miss

one nau the mousse TO herself, with
only Bonita, the old Mexican serving
woman, and Nan ate her late supper
alone.
The longer she pondered on De
Spain and his dilemma-and her own
the more she worried. When she
went to bed, upstairs in her little
gable room, she tossed on her pillow
till resolve seized her to go up again
to his hiding place and see what she
could see or hear-possibly, if one
were on foot. she could uncover plot.
She dressed resolutely, buckled on
holster to her side, and, slipping n
revolver-a new one that Gale had
given her-into 1t for protection, she
walked softly downstairs and out of
doors. The night air was clear, with
three-quarter moon well up in the
sky. She took her way rapidly along
the trail to the mountain, keeping as
much as possible within the great
shadows cast by the towering peaks.
Breathing stealthily and keyed to
tense feeling of uncertainty and sus-
picion, Nan at length reached without
adventure the corner of the ledge
where she had first seen De Spain,
and there, lying fiat, listened.
Hearing only the music of the little
cascade, she swept the ledge as well
as she could with her eyes, but 1t was
now so far in shadow as to lie in i'm
penetrable darkness. Hardly daring
to breathe, she crept and felt her way
over it with her hands, discovering
nothing until she had almost reached
Then her heart stopped in an agony
of fear-underneath the Overhanging
wall she heard voices. De Spain had
eonfederates, then, and had tricked
her, after all.
But moment later this explanation
failed to satisfy her. The mutterings
were too constant and too disconnect-
edit dnwned on Nan that this must
be delirium. She could hear De Spain
throwing himself from side to side,
and the near and far sounds, as If of
two voices, were explained. She crept
nearer.
He was babbling in the chill dark
ness about ammunition, urging men
to make haste, warning them of some
one coming. Nan listened to his raw
ings, overcome by the revelation of
his condition. She told herself he must
die If he remained longer unaided, and
there were unpleasant possibilities, If
he died where he lay. She did not want
to pity or to help him, she convinced
herself; but she did not want his death
laid to a Morgan plot-for none of his
friends would ever believe De. Spain
had found his way alive and alone
to where he lay.
All of this Nan was casting up in
her mind as she walked home. She
had already decided, but without
realizing 1t, what to do, and was will
ing to assume that her mind was still
open.
Toward daylight of the morning, De
Spain dreamed he was not alone-that
figure moved silently in the faintness
of the dawn-a figure he struggled tC
believe reality, but one that tricked
his wandering senses and left him, at
the coming of another day, weaker,
with failing courage, and alone.
But when he opened his eyes later,
and with clearer head, he found food
and drink near. Unable to believe his

deceiving him, until he put out his
hand and felt actually the substance

hungrily from the shell; and meat he
cached, animal-like, in nearby cram
nies, and, manlike, in his pockets.
He was determined, If she should
come again, to intercept his visitor.
For forty-eight hours he tried cat-naps
with an occasional sandwich to keep
up his strength. Nan returned un-
seen, and disappeared despite his
watchfulness. A new supply of food
proved she had been near, but that 1t
would be hard to time her coming.
When she did come, the third time,
an innocent snare discovered her pres.
ence. 1t was just before day, and De
Spain had so scattered small obstacles
-handfuls of gravel and little chips of
rock-that should she cross the ledge
in the dark she could hardly escape
rousing him.
The device betrayed her. I'm
awake" announced De Spain at once
from his retreat. When she stopped
at the words he could not see her; she
had flattened herself, standing, against
n wall of the ledge. He waited pa
tlently. "You give me no chance to
thank you," he went on after pause.
Il don't need any thanks" she replied
with calculated coolness. II am hop
ing when you are we'll enough you
will go away quietly in the night. That
will be the only way you can thank
me-"
II shall be as glad to go as you can
be to have me-" rejoined De Spain.
"But that won't be thanking you as |
am going to. If you think you can
save my life and refuse my thanks as
mean to express them-you are mis-
taken. 1 will be perfectly honest. Ly-
ing out here isn't just what I'd choose
for comfort. But If by doing 1t I
could see you once in two or three
days"

yet; If you had light you might see

am"
He halted on the implied question.
Nan took ample time to reply.
do you mean 10 tell me you don't
know where you are?" she asked, and
there was a touch of vexed incredullty
in her tone.
De Spain seemed unmoved by her
skepticism. II can't tell you anything
else," he said simply. "You couldn't
have any idea l crawled up here for
the fun of it."
'I've been trying to think" she re-
turned, and he perceived in the hard
ness of her voice how at bay she felt
in giving him tho least bit of infor-
nation, whether I ought to tell you
anything at all"
II couldn't very decently take any
unfair advantage after what you've
done, could II"
