DO WITHOUT AND Do
BY WILBUR D. NEsRlr.

A great many millions of people In
other lands have been thinking about
us for the past three years.
They have thought that we were a
spfneless nation, that we could be
slapped in the face and kicked for
good measure.
They have thought that we were so
afraid of trouble that we would stand
for anything rather than tackle it if
1t came our way.
Today they are changing their ainds.
We are giving the world a demon
stration Of what the underlying prin-
ciples of this country are.
We are showing the world that we
have never had the slightest idea of
spelling American with any -other
than capital A.
Doing this costs money
1t is easy enough to wave flag and
cheer the soldiers; it is easy enough
to crate patriotic things and praise
the names of Washington and Lincoln.
But the acid test of war is sitting
citizenship. 1t is making us realize
that we cannot have national strength
without something to back it up.
That's why the second Liberty loan
is announced.
We might as well get used to sup
porting Liberty loans.
You can't do your bit" by wearing
a button for one bond. We've got to
pay for that Americanism of which
We have been SO proud, if we expect
to keep on being proud of it.
1t means sacrifices. 1t means each of
us has got to do the biggest things he
can do for his country.
If million, or two million, men can
stand behind us and the hell that was
made of Belgium and northern France.
then we can stand back of those men
and pay for the guns and ammunition
and clothing and food they have to
have.
Suppose you did buy one Liberty
bond. Suppose you bought a. thousand
dollars worth, or a hundred thousand
dollars worth.
Buy another. Double your invest
ment
Can't afford it?
We have to afford it-this time, and
the next, and the next, and every time
until the war is won.
Well have to do without something.
if that is the, only way we can do
something for our country.
If you have to do without dress,
or an overcoat, to buy Liberty bond,
do without.
You'd rather have peace, and a bond
paying you 4 per cent, than dress or
an oyercoat, and war costing you your
home, and your sons, and your broth.
ers, wouldn't you?
If we can't put this second Liberty
loan over except by doing. without
something then let's do without,
For, If we can't make loan to Lib.
erty, then one of these days we will
see Liberty in pawn.

CHAPTER x-continued.

The violent exertion of reaching the
height had started the ruptured artery
anew, and his first work was crudely
TO cleanse the wound and attempt to
rebandage 1t. He was hungry, but for
this there was only one alleviation-
sleep-and. carefully effacing all traces
of his presence on the ledge, he
crawled into his rock retreat and fell
again into heavy sIumber.
1t was this repose that proved his
undoing. He woke to consciousness so
weak he could scarcely lift his head. 1t
was still day. A consuming thirst as
sailed him, but he lacked the strength
20 crawl out of his cave, and, looking
toward his bandaged foot. he was
shocked at the sight of how it had bled
while he slept.
Toward afternoon his restlessness In
creased, but he chung to his resolve to
lie still. By evening he was burning
with thirst. and when morning came
after a feverish night, with his head
on fire and his mouth crusted dry, he
concluded rightly that one or both of
his wounds had become infected.
De Spain understood what it meant.
He looked regretfully at the injured
foot. Swollen Out of shape and angry
looking, the mere appearance would
have told him, had the confirmation
been needed, that his situation was
becoming critical. This did not so
much disconcert him as it surprised
him and spurred him mentally to the
necessity of new measures. He lay a
long time thinking. Against the infec-
ton he could do little. But the one
aid at his hand was abundance of cold
water to drink and battle his wound In,
and to this he resolved now to drag
himself. To crawl across the space
that separated him from the pool re-
CURED all the strength he could sum-
mon. The sun was already well up
and its rays shot like spectrum arrows
through the spray of the dainty cat
aract, which spurted in jeweled sheet
over rocky ledge twenty feet above
and poured noisily down from the
broad pool along Jagged powders be-
low.
Crawling, choking with thirst, slow
ay forward, he reached the water, and,
reclining on his side and one elbow, he
was about TO lean down TO drink when
ne suddenly felt, with some kind of an
instructive shock. that he was no long
er alone on the ledge. He had no In

did not even question It, Not sound

painlessly-yet he shrank from that
anticipated crash.
His thoughts, working In flashes of
lightning, suggested every possible
trick of escape, and as rapidly rejected
each. There was nothing for it but
to play the part, to take the blow with
no more than culver when 1t came.
He had once seen a man shot in just
that way. Braced to such determine
ton, De Spain bent slowly downward,
and, with eyes staring into the water
Tor a reflection that might afford a
glimpse of his enemy, he began to
drink. Each mouthful of water was a
struggle. The sense of impending death
had robbed even the life-giving drafts
Of their tonic; each instant carried its
acute sensation of being the last. At
length, his nerves weakened by hunger
and exposure revolted under the
strain. Suppose it should be, after all,
fantasy of his fever that pictured so
wildly an enemy behind. With an eff
fort that cost more mental torture than
he ever had known, he drew back on
his elbow From the pool, steadied him
self, turned his head to face his execu-

He'd to this extent theirs-but surely
he lay not far from death by exhaus-

he would die.
But who was to help himP Certainly
none of his friends, IL she told them
they would try to reach him. That
would mean an appaIling-an unthink-
able-flght. All came back to one ter
rifying alternative: Should she help
this wretched man herself? And If he
lived, would he repay her by shooting
someone of her own kin?
The long ride to Calabasas went fast
as the debate swept on, and the vivid
shock of her strange experience re-
Cured TO her Imagination.
She drew up before the big barn.
Jim McAlpin was coming out to go to
supper. Nan asked for her package
and wanted to start directly back
again. McAlpin refused absolutely to
hear OF 1t. He looked at her horse and
professed to be shocked. He told her
she had ridden hard, urged her 20 dis
mount, and sent her pony In TO be
rubbed. While her horse was cared
for, McAlpin asked, in his harmless
Scotch way, about Gale.
Concerning Gale, Nan was noncom-
| initial. But she listened with interest,
more or less yelled, TO whatever run
ming comment McAlpin had to offer
concerning the Calabasas fight. "And
I was sorry to see Gale mixed up in it,"
he concluded, in his effort to draw Nan
out, 'sorry. And sorrier' to think OF

way. Some say" he suggested, look.
