Where was he? Why could he not
speak out and clear himself of the terri
bic suspicion that had fallen upon him?
Why could he not come to her him
self? Why must he send stranger?
These questions she thrust from her
mind again and again. She must not
question anything. She believed in
him. At the right time he would come
forward. That was what his friend
had said. And was she to have less
faith, less patience, than friend?

Blanca paused uncertainty. "Please
come in.
And when they were seated in the
cheerful guest-room, she began at once:
al don't know the name of the
young man who was here-he didn't
tell me. But it doesn't matter about
him. He only came to bring me a
message from Sefior Brown.
AT the name, Mrs. Gil gave a
start, and stared blankly, as if she
doubted whether she had understood.
you're surprised, said Alba. But,
of course, you didn't hear about
last night-about the police question:

"No-I have heard nothing said
Blanca. II had no idea that you knew
this young man..
"Yes, know him i know him

the girls cheeks. "That isl haven't

RIANCA leaned forward, half starting
from her seat, her quick, expressive
hands outstretched as if to snatch
the young creature before her from
the suffering her avowal portended.
Then she sank back again with
helpless gesture. "Oh, my dear-my
dear!"
"Of course know how it must seem
to you,' said Alba, with quiet ear
nestness. "But if you knew him you
would know that he is innocent Of
my step-father's murder. Last night,
when l refused to answer the ques-
tions that We're asked me about him,
it was not because of any doubt OF

looked that way. But l was afraid
they might arrest him on suspicion,

the girls calm recital had recovered
her own composure. "And he sent you
a message?"
"Yes; by friend. He had heard
about last night, and sent word that
it was not necessary for me to shield
him any longer, that everything would
be all right.

she was to tell the police what she knew
of Eric Brown, she must first tell the

 TRIBUTE TO RED CROSS

@he Red Cross is the noblest of in- stitutions today, and we Americans all salute the Red Cross and thank that noble institution for what 1t is doing and intends to do for our sol- diers. They shall be on the glory field; they shall be in the trenches; they shall cross the tempestuous waves of the ocean and much risk they run, but let them know that friends, fe1low-Americans, are near at hand to staunch the wounds, should wounds come; to wipe the tear, should the eyelids grow moist.
 '.Yes, America needs today the Red Cross. We need it to come to their rescue in all their needs Kindness, charity. is the watchword of the Red Cross. It is highest patriotism.
 Without the Red Cross poor and slender would be the care given by the governments. for the governments can only do little in the way Of kind ness and charity, Theirs is to com mand, to bid the soldiers go forward Yours to follow the soldiers and do all you can to make their lot less se- were. less trying. .''-St Paul, June Is, 1917.

OUR ITALIANS

Complaint is made that the Italian war mission has not attracted the at tention given to the English and French delegations. Yet the Italian element in our country has rapidly increased of recent years, and is prob ably our most numerous foreign born strain.

Familiar as we are with the 'ItalianS swarthy face and earth stained garments, it. is hard to think of him as coming from a race of great achievement.

 Travellers often speak of the Italian as happy go lucky creature of the sun, indolent and care free. Perhaps his love for the fruit of business might be held to indicate some aver sion to manual labor. Yet contrac. tors for street, sewer, and railroad construction find him their principal dependence. Without his endurance and muscle our country could not have reached it's present development.
 As with most migrations, 1t is the submerged element that seeks new home. These people came over from an overcrowded and overtaxed coun- try with nothing but their willing hands. When our schools get hold of the next generation, there will be a different story. The crowd of com patriots out to welcome the Italian mission of future years will look diff rent. n
