congratulate him."
This was the beginning of the ro-
nance in the life Of General Pershing,
a romance that was destined to end in
deepest tragedy. Miss Warren was
young. beautiful and belle in Wash
ington society. Her father, senator
from Wyoming, was one of the leaders
in the national upper house. She had
heard the work Of Captain Pershing
lauded by the senators when President
Roosevelt made the captains record
part of an annual message to congress-
So, like Desdemona, she ''loved him for
the dangers he had passed"
They were married on JAM &C. 1905.
Three daughters and son were born
to them, and then came the end in Au-
gust, 1915 In a fire at the Preside,
San Francisco, Mrs. Pershing and the
three little girls were sufocated. The
son, Warren, was rescued. General
Pershing was then stationed at Ell
PasO. After few days of bitter grief
he returned to his work in the army,
more silent than before, with his face
deeply graved with lines of sorrow.
Only the boy and his army career re-
NAMED for him.
Again crisis faces the United States
in relation to Mexican affairs. There
have been many serious situations in
the past three years, but none quite
as bad as this. Villa has broken loose,
has raided Columbus, N. NJ, and has
spilled American blood shed in defense
of the little border town. He has swept
through Chihuahua, struck his blow
and got away in the night. All Amer
lea is aflame with the cry for venge-
ance Get him alive or dead!" rings
the cry from one ocean to another
Washington turns to Funston, in COM
mand of the southern department.
Send your best brigadier. Let him
take whatever force you think needed.
Get him over the border as soon as you
can. We've got to get Villa"

In few minutes the little red head
ed man from Kansas and the tall, gray
haired, sun Drowned soldier from the
neighboring state of Missouri are in
deep conference. The sentry has or
ders to admit no one. There is work
to be done across the border, and Fun
ston, obeying directions from Washing
ton, has hit at once upon the man to
do it. 1t is Brigadier General Perish
ing, the veteran of fighting in Cuba,
in the Philippines, the man who served
as military attache with the japanese
army in Manchuria during the gigan-
tic struggle with Russia, the able sol
der, diplomat, lawyer, student of Ian
guages and international affairs.
THE president wants you to get
Villa" says Funston.

Pershing.
Who can say that Pershing would
not have got Villa if Washington, not

that the commander of the southern de-
partment, summoned to Washington
ostensibly for consultation, had left
for the European battle front.
From the farthermost Scottish head
lands to the Mediterranean coast Brit
ain and France We're afiame with inter-
est, excitement and curiosity when the
announcement of Pershing's landing
was made "Who is this man Perish
ing the Americans have sent us?" ask
ed one Londoner of another Blessed
if known was the reply.
The newspapers ransacked their ref
erence departments and scanned their
files for material for writeups of Perish
ing. They told as much as they could
about his career, but it was all too
little to satisfy the public's curiosity.
Then the crowds focked to learn about
Pershing at first hand. Seldom in Eu-
ropes long history has any man receiv-
ed so wonderful reception. Here was
American aid in the great war, which
had lasted almost three years, pre-
scented in tangible form in the person
of the tall, straight, soldierly figure of
a fighting general. The crowds went
literally wild over Pershing.
And all of this was expressed in heap
ed up measure when the American
reached Paris. ''The deliverer has
rome! Vive Pershing! Vive Joffre!'
rang the cries when the two famous
generals appeared side by side in the
French capital. "This man has come
to France to repay the debt owed to
Lafayette, to ROchambeau, to the other
Frenchmen who risked their lives that
America might be free. They will help
to deliver France from the German in
vader," said the crowds, and they
cheered Pershing until the boulevards
rang.

'"rell him. said Pershing, nothing

''All right" was the Indians retort.

Grayson. "It's up to you to uphold

''They won't believe it. You can
beat the big buck anyway"
So the race was run and was nearly
lost by Pershing. About ten feet from
the finish line his ankle gave way and
he rolled over in heap. But his pres
ence of mind remained upright, and
with a mighty. effort he gathered him.

CHAPTER v.
Making a Record Jump-Romance and
Tragedy.

Tragedy.
TIME news of Pershing's promotion
to brigadier general thrilled Wash
ington and sent a wave of aston
ishment through the nation. From cap
tain to brigadier general! Over the
heads of S62 senior officers jumps the
man who was once undecided whether
he should become lawyer or sol
der. Unprecedented jump and one
not to be repeated, in all likelihood, in
the history Of the American army.
But the former soldier in the White
House has followed with admiration
and perhaps just bit of envy the Won
derful work of the soldier in the Phil
ippines.
i've just got to promote that man.
Taft says the law won't let me make
him a major or a colonel. What shall
I do with him? BY Godfrey, I've got
it, I've got it! Hello, hello, give me
Secretary Taft at once. Mr.. Taft, does
the law permit the president Of the
United States to make a general officer
of any officer in the United States
army? 1t is your opinion that it does.
Good! Have your man make out a
commission for Brigadier General John
J. Pershing as soon as you can, send it
over to me, and I'll sign it at once.
Goodby."
