CHAPTER l.
The Water-HoIe.

A fitful breeze played "amOng the
where it showed between the clumps
of grass, was baked plaster hard. AL
though the sun was halfway down the
west, it's glare remained untempered,
and the tantalizing shade of the sparse
mesquite was more of a trial than a
comfort to the lone woman who, refuS
ing it's deceitful invitation, plodded
steadily over the waste. Stop, indeed,
she dared not. In spite of her fatigue,
regardless of the torture from feet and
limbs unused to walking, she must
as she constantly assured herself, keep
going until strength failed. Somewhere
to the northward, perhaps a mile, per-
haps a league distant, lay the water
hole.
Desert travel was nothing new to
her; thirst and fatigue were old ac
quaintances. She readiusted the strap
of the empty water bag over her shOul'
der and the loose cartridge belt at her
hip. then set her dusty feet down the
slope. The sun had grown red and
huge when at last in the hard-baked
earth she discovered fresh footprints.
She followed them gladly, encOur-
aged when they were joined by
others. A low bluff rose on her left,
and along it's crest scattered Spanish
daggers were raggedly silhouetted
against the sky. She tried to run, but
her legs were heavy; she stumbled a
great deal, and her breath made
strange, distressing sounds as it issued
from her open lips. Rounding the
steep shoulder of the ridge, she has
tended down a declivity into knot of
scrub oaks and ebony trees, then halt
ed, staring ahead of her. Nesting in
shallow, finty bowl was a pool of
water, and on it's brink little fire was
burning.
1t was tiny fire, overhung with
blackened pot; the OdOr of greaSewood
and mesquite smoke was sharp. A
man, rising swiftly to his feet at the
first sound, was staring at the new
conner; he was as alert as any wild
thing. But the woman staggered di-
rectly toward the pond, seeing nothing
after the first glance except the water.
She would have flung herself full
length upon the edge, but the man
stepped forward and stayed her, then
placed a tin cup in her hand. She
mumbled something in answer to his
greeting and the hoarse, ravenlike
crOak in her voice startled her; then
she drank, with trembling eagerneSs,
drenching the front of her dress. The
wafer was warm, but it was clean and
delicious.
Easy now. Take your time," said
the man, as he refilled the cup. "It
won't give out"
She knelt and wet her face and neck.
Felt the strangers hands beneath her
arms, felt herself lifted to more COM
Portable position. Without asking per-
mission, the stranger unlaced first one
then the other of her dusty boots,
seeming not to notice her weak at
tempt at resistance Once he had
placed her bare feet in the water, she
forgot her resentment in the intense
relief.
The man left her seated in q col
lapsed, semiconsciOus state, and went
back to his fire. 1t was dark when for
the first time she turned her head to-
ward the camp fire and stared curious

" at the figure there. The appetizing
OdOr of brOiling bacon had drawn her
attention, and as if no move went un-
noticed the man said, without lifting
his eyes:
Supper will be ready directly.
How'd you like your eggs-if we had
any?"
He spoke with an unmistakable Tex
as drawl; the woman put him down at

And when those taxes 60 into effect, you
will have to help pay them every time you

every time you buy clothing for yourself
and your family, and not penny you pay

Remember, too, that high taxes and high
cost of necessities always mean a decrease

time in the history Of our country.
Our government and allies expending over

Meanwhile the cost of the war is also run

American people must foot the bill, and you
must pay your share. There is no possible
way in which you can avoid II.
But there IS way IN which you and all
the rest of us can pay our share of the cost
of the war and get our money back. That
is by the purchase of Liberty Bonds.
These Bonds are the safest investment in
the world. The greatest and richest coun-
.ry in the world, the United States of Amer
lea, stands behind them and guarantees their
payment. You will not only get your money
back, but will be paid 40 for the use of it.

EXCESS IN POTATO CROP
DESPITE EARLY FR0STS
Federal Estimate Places It at 1885,
100000 Bushels More Than
That of 1915.

Though early frosts have cut down
original estimates of the potato crop
of this country to the extent of 100000
bushels, the crop will be $1,000, 900
bushels in excess of that of 1916, ac-
cording to an estimate of Charles d.
Brand, chief of the office Of markets of
the Department of Agriculture.
Last year the crop measured 2S5. 000.-
900 bushels and revised estimates now
point to 1917 crop of 453,000,0O bush
els
"Our September estimates have been
reduced by 100000 bushels on account
of early frosts," said Mr.. Brand today,
but there is still a very satisfactory
increase over last year indicated. On
account of the Importance of potatoes
as a food staple we are well pleased
with the outlook"
wheat crop estimates point to 672,-
100000 bushels this year, compared
with 66S,000,000 bushels last year. The
corn crop will be about $500, 900
bushels, compared with 2,600.00O.D00
bushels in 1915. These figures are made
from incomplete reports on the food
census" being made by the Department
Of Agriculture. Tho full report will be
ready. in about two weeks.

STEPS TAKEN TO PREVENT
IMPROPER DISCLOSURES
Army Officers Not Permitted to Cable
Privately News Of Arrival
in France.

Government officials took steps to-
day to prevent officers of the expedi-
tionary forces in France from reveal
ing in private cablegrams details Of
troop movements which the War De-
partment has ordered suppressed for
military reasons. In two cases re-
Gently high officers of National Guard
units have cabled to state officials that
the regiments to which they We're at
tached have arrived safely on the other
side That is declared to be in viola
ton of the departments censorship
regulations, and it is probable that
Gen. Pershing will be directed to issue
general orders against any of his Of
hcers and men cabling home without
the permission of the censor.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-10-15
Newspapers Among Offenders.

Incidentally the action of papers in
this country which have published the
names of the officers sending the mes
sages in question. and the numbers Of
their regiments may be considered a
yioiatio of censorship regulations.
The government has repeatedly re-
quested that no announcement of the
arrival of any contingent of troops in
France be printed, coupling with the
request its pledge that disasters or
casualties would be promptly made
public Where relatives of the soldiers
know that certain regiment has
sailed and hear nothing further they
may assume that the regiment arrived
safely.
Stricter Censoring Possible.
The private cables serve to bring up
again the question of stricter censor
ing of inbound messages from France
or England. 1t appeared possible today
that the naval censors at the cable
ends on this side would be instructed
to hold up all messages that did not
carry with them signal to show that
they had been approved by American
censors on the other side.

Relating to Lights.

Mai. Pullman also called attention to
the Importance of general enforcement
of the regulations relating to lights
on vehicles. He said
1.-The police regulations require all
automobiles to carry lights one-half
hour after sunset. Therefore. to pre-
vent accidents which may he caused
by persons running with unlighted ma
chimes, officers should allow a few
minutes of grace after the half hour
period and then make arrests In all
cases where persons have been care
less enough to run without lights.
1T is important, especially during
the so-called theater rush hour, % see
that all machines are properly lighted
and are travelling at safe speed. En-
force the law strictly and promptly
