and the lower hills on both sides, were
parceled out into fields, inclOsed within
stone walls, reminding her from the
height at which they stood, of nothing
so much as the quilt upon her bed.
Her eyes swept this strange tract Of
country backward and forward. She
saw the men like specks in the fields,
the cows grazing in the pasture like
toy animals. Then she turned and
looked at the neat row of stacks and
the square of farm buildings.
II am trying hard to realize that
you are a farmer and that this is
your life" she said.
He swung open the wooden gate Of
the churchyard, by which they were
standing. There was q row of graves
on either side of the prim path.
Suppose" he suggested, 'yOu tell
me about yourself nOw-about your
own life."
my life, and the world in which l
live, seem far away just now," she
said quietly. 81 think that it is doing
me good to have rest from them.
Talk to me about yourself, please"
He smiled. He was just little dis
appointed.
I'VE shall very soon reach the end
Of all that have to tell you" he re-
marked. "Still, if there Is anything
you would like to know"
"Who were these men and women
who have lived and died here" she
interrupted, with little wave of her
hand toward the graves.
"All our own people," he told her.
She studied the names upon the
tombstones, spelling them out slowly.
"The married people," he went on,
"are buried on the south side; the
single ones and children are nearer
the wall. Tell me-" he asked, after a
moments hesitation "are you married
or single?"
She gave little start. The abrupt
ness of the question, the keen, stead
| fast gaze Of his compelling eyes,
seemed for moment to paralyze both
her nerves and her voice. 1t was as If
someone had suddenly drawn away one
Of the stones from the foundation of
her life. She found herself repeating
the words on the tombstone facing
her:
"And of Elizabeth, for sixty-One
years the faithful wife and helpmate
Of Ezra Cummings, mother Of his chill
dren, and his partner in the life ever
lasting"
Her knees began to shake. There
was momentary darkness before her
eyes. She felt for the tombstone and
sat down.

LAST OF THE CARIB INDIANS
Not More Than One Hundred Of Race

Indies Are Still Alive.

The Carib Indian was the first repre-
sentative of LO, the poor red man, to
meet the tide Of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers In the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he is assured q

peared.
How muny thousands Of Carlbs

largely matter Of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand of the cOnQuerOr, who worked
them as slaves and shot them when
they made war. Today it Is doubtful
whether there are 100 pure-blOOded
Caribs alive. Practically all Of them

Battle in isloonIioht.

The pale moonlight that bathes each
night the several hundred frame build
ings at Fort Benjamin Harrison which
house the student officers and the reg
ular army men, shines also over the
tents of two Indiana National Guard
companies, the first Indiana field hos
pital and Ambulance Company No. l.
Late in the afternoon Is bath time
with the student officers, and with the
regulars, and the lighthouses, one for
each company, are about the busiest
places at the fort, especially after o.
round of trench-digging. But the men
of the field hospital don't care for
bathing in the afternoon. Night time
is the time for them. Their bath
houses are as open as the air, the
bathing facilities provided consisting
only of showers set up In the open
back of their camp. So, late in the
evening. guards are set out, and forms,
pallid in the moonlight, emerge from
the tents, run to the showers, shiver
In the cold water, and beat hasty

along the furrOw, so absorbed In the
instructions he was giving that he was
almost opposite the gate before he was
aware of her presence. He promptly
abandoned his task and approached her.
Good morning! You have slept
well?" he called out.
Better, think, than ever before in
my life" she answered. Differently,
at any rate. And such an awakening ~
He looked at her, a little puzzled. The
glow upon her face and the sunlight
upon her brown hair kept him silent.
He was content to look ut her and won

"Tell me-" she demanded impetu-
Ously, 'is this little corner of fairy
land that you have found? Does the
sun always shine like this? Does the
earth always smell as sweetly, and are
your trees always in blossom? Does
your wind always taste as if God had
breathed the elixir Of life into it?"
He turned around to follow the
sweep of her eyes. Something of the
same glow seemed to rest for mo-
ment upon his face.

you love so much appreciated by some

They stood together in n silence al

down to earth.

turned abruptly to the left and began
to climb narrow path which bOrdered
the boundary wall, and which became
sleeper every moment. AS they as
cended, the orchard and the long, low
house on the other side seemed to lie
almost at their feet. The road and the
open mOOrland beyond, stretching to
the encircling hills, came more clearly
into sight with every backward glance.
Louise paused at last, breathless.
'Is it the home of the fairies you
are taking me tO?" she asked. "If you
have discovered that, no wonder you
find us ordinary women outside your
liveS!"
He laughed.
There are no fairies where we are
going" he assured her.
They were on roughly made road
now, which turned abruptly to the
right n few yards ahead, skirting the
side of deep gorge. They took few
steps further, and Louise stopped short
with n cry of wonder.
Around the abrupt corner an entirely
new perspective was revealed-a little
hamlet built on shoulder of the
mountain; and on the right, below a
steep descent, a wide and sunny valley.
It was like tiny world Of its own,
hidden in the bosom of the hills. There
was long line of farm buildings, built
of gray stone and rooted with red tiles !;
there were fifteen or twenty stacks;

erable size, almost covered on the

miliarity, shared by no other woman
he had ever known.
Then the little scene faded away, and
he remembered the tedious present.
He had spent two dull days at the
house Of a neIghbOring land owner,
playing cricket in the daytime, dancing
ut night with women In whom he was
unable to feel the slightest interest,
always with that faraway feeling In
his heart, struggling hour by hour with
that curious restlessnesS which seemed
to have taken permanent place in
his disposition. He was on his way
home to Peak Hall. He knew eXnctly
the welcome which was awaiting him.
He knew exactly the news he would
receive. He raised his whip and
cracked It yiciously In the air.
Stephen was waiting for him, as he
had expected, in the dining room. The
elder Strangewey was seated in his .ac-
custOmed chair, smoking his pipe and
reading the paper. The table was laid
for meal, which Jennings was pre-
pairing to serve.
Back again, John?" his brother re-
marked, looking at him fxedly over
his newspaper.
John picked up one or two letters,
glanced them over, and flung them
down upon the table. He had exam
ined every envelope for the last few
months with the same expectancy, and
thrown each one down with the same
throb of disappointment.

"All in at eight o'clock"
There was brief silence. Then
Stephen Knocked the ashes from his
pipe and rose to his feet.
"John," he asked, "why did you pull
up on the road there?"
There was no immediate answer.
The slightest of frOwns formed itself
upon the younger mans face.

CHAPTER ".

The churchyard gate was opened
and closed noisily. They both glanced
up. Stephen Strangewey was coming
slowly toward them along the flinty
path. Louise, suddenly herself again,
rose briskly to her feet. Stephen had
apparently lost none of his dourness
of the previous night. AS he looked
toward Louise, there was no mistaking
the slow dislike in his steely eyes.
"YOur chauffeur, madam, has just
returned" he announced. "He sent
word that he will be ready to start at
one O'clock"
Louise, inspired to battle by the al
most provocative hostility of her elder
host, smiled sweetly upon him.
"You can't imagine how sorry am
to hear it," she said. II don't know
when, in the whole course of my life,
| have met with such a delightful ad-
venture or spent such perfect morn
ingw
Stephen looked at her with level, dis
approving eyes-at her slender form in
its perfectly fitting tailored gown; at
her patent shoes, so obviously insult
able for her surroundings, and at the
faint vision of silk stockings.
IF I might say so without appear
ing inhospitable," he remarked, with
faint sarcasm, this would seem to be
the fitting moment for your departure.
A closer examination Of our rough life
up here might alter your views. If I
do not have the pleasure of seeing you
again, permit me to wish you fnre-
we'll"
He turned and walked away. Louise
watched him with very real interest.

up to a certain point. I believe I
am" he confessed.
"DO you never feel cramped-in your
mind, I mean?-feel that you want, to
push your way through the clouds
into some other lifeT
II feel nearer the clouds here" he
answered simply.
They were leaving the churchyard
now. She paused abruptly, pointing
to a single grave in part of the
churchyard which seemed detached
from the rest.
"Whose grave is that?" he inquired.
He hesitated.
"It Is the grave of young girl" he
told her quietly. "She was the daugh-
ter of one Of our shepherds. She went
into service at Carlisle, and returned
here with a child. They are both
| buried here"
Because of that her grave is apart
from the others"
yes" he answered. at is very sell
dom, am glad to say, that anything
Of the sort happens among u.s."
For the second time that morning
Louise was conscious of an unexpected
upheaval of emotion. She felt that the
sunshine had gone, that the whole
sweetness of the place had suddenly
passed away. The charm of its simple
austerity had perished,
"And l thought had found para
disc ~ she cried
She moved quickly from John
Strangewey's side. Before he could
realize her intention, she had stepped
over the low dividing wall and was on
her knees by the side of the plain. neg

Recruiting Slows
Up in This District

Recruiting for the regular army in
this city and the nine counties of this
b-district is progressing at the slow
est rate since April i. 1t is believed
that the number Of recruits accepted
here this month will be smaller than
either in April or May. 1t was expected
early in the month, when recruiting
was very active, that more than 100
would be accepted here and forward
ed to Omaha before July l, but now 1t
is believed THE total will fall short of
that number.
The cause is thought to be the reg
istration and the expectation of young
men that they will be taken by con-
scription within month or so. At any
rate the enlistments are so few in
number that only eight have been for
warded from the local recruiting sta
ton this week.
The statement has been sent out from
army headquarters in Washington that
the quota each state must furnish will
include regular enlistments in the reg
ular army and national guard since
April /, and each state will be given
credit for the number that have enlist
ed. so that the larger the number to
enlist the fewer will be taken by con-
scription to fill the states quota.
