WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. June 10 ;by maiD.- This is the story of a man who was born to be a king. In his way he was one, and he died as a knight of chivalrous days should die
 He did everything as he considered it ought to be done, on knightly scale.
 He was an aviator, because aviators are the knights of the army He was a fighting aviator. because they play the dramatic, romantic, gallantest part of aviation.
 It was no cheap chivalry this man had. He lived beyond all that VIZ sordid, and his comrades admired his ability. They believed in him as he believed in himself.
 One day in fight high above the clouds he was wounded He had been protecting an observer. and despite his wound he stayed on the patrol un- til 1t finished. Coming back home he tainted. and his machine crashed near the aviation field.
 His story does not end here, be cause he was born to do things as knights do them. They buried him as a knight of the air should be buried.
 Then they gathered together his possessions to send them to his mother in America. Among them they found an envelope, a check and this note:
 Comrades, died fighting and I am satisfied.
 Enclosed is check to pay my debts and buy you each d bottle of champagne,
 Drink q toast to victory and sweep the Germans from the skies. Here's to you"
 His comrades are sweeping down the Germans, but the champagne is unOrdered

Sulzer is again a member of the Democratic Congress sional baseball team. and participated in the game with the Republicans played June 8th, which was witnessed by President and Mrs. Wilson, Vice President and Mrs. Marshall and most of the cabinet officers and members of the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives. He played in both the left and right fields, and scored one of the five runs made by the Democratic side. MT. Sulzer played with the team year ago. At that time his name ap- peared among the substitutes. and he was put into the game about the time it was half over.
 Republicans Win Game
 For the second time in more than dozen years the Republicans won victory this year though the Washing. ton papers say another game is to be played. and, if the Democrats should win. that would necessitate third game The Democrats suffered by the absence of their captain and manager, Representative Pat Harrison of Mis- sissippi, who this year is down in his home state contending with Senator Nardaman for seat in the Senate.

CHAPTER XXI.
A MESSAGE From the Dead.

Macdonald drove his team into the
teeth of the storm. The wind came in
gusts. Sometimes the gale was so stiff
that the dogs could scarcely crawl for
ward against it; again there were mo-
ments of comparative stiffness, fol-
lowed by squalls that slapped the
driver In the face like the whipping OF
a loose sail on catboat.
High drifts made the trail difficult.
Not once but fifty times Macdonald
left the gee-pole to break way
through snow-waves for the sled. The
best he could get out of his dogs was
three miles an hour, and he knew that
there was not another team or driver
In the North could have done so well.
1t was close 70 noon when he reached
division of the road known as the
Fork. One trail ran down to the river
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1918-06-22

and up 1t to the distant creeks. THE
other led across the divide, struck the
Yukon, and pointed a way to the coast
White drifts had long since blotted out
the track of the sled that had pre-
coded him. Had the fugitives gone VI
the river to the creeks with intent to
hole themselves up for the winter? Or
was 1t their purpose to cross the divide
and go out over the Ice to the coast?
The pursuer knew that Gid Holt was
wise as a weasel. He could follow
biindfolded the paths that led to every
creek In the gold-fields. 1t might be
taken as certainty that he had not
plunged into such desperate venture
without having plan well worked out
beforehand. Elliot had high grade
Of intelligence. Would they try to
reach the coast and make their get
away to Seattle? Or would they dig
themselves in till the heavy SHOWS
were past and come back to civiliza-
ton with the story of lucky strike to
account for the gold they brought with
them? Neither gold dust nor nuggets
could be identified. There would be
no way of proving the story false. The
only evidence against them would be
that they had left at Kusiak and this
was merely of a corroborative kind.
There would be no chance of convict
ing them upon 1t.
To strike for Seattle was to throw
away all pretense of innocence. Fugi-
tives from justice, they would have to
disappear from sight In order to es-
cape. The hunt for them would con-
tinue until at last they were unearthed.
One fork of the road led to COMPARE
tive safety the other went by devious
windlngs to the penitentiary and per-
haps the gallows. The Scotsman put
himself In the place of the men he was
trailing. Given the same conditions,
he knew which path he would follow.
Macdonald took the trail that led
down to the river, to the distant gold
creeks which offered a refuge from
man-hunters in many deserted cabin
marooned by the deep SHOWS.
Even the iron frame and steel
muscles of the Scotch Canadian pro-
tested against the task he had set them
that day. 1t was a time to sit snugly
inside by stove and listen to the
bowling of the wind as Ii hurled itself
down from the divide. But from day
light till dark Colby Macdonald fought
with drifts and breasted the storm. He
got into the harness with the dogs. He
broke trail for them, cheered them,
soothed, comforted, punished. Long
after night had fallen he staggered into
the hut Of two prospectors, his parka
so stiff with frozen snow that 1t had
to be beaten with hammer before the
coat could be removed.
"How long since dog team passed
seven huskies and two menu" was
his first question.
mo dog team has passed for four
days" one of the men answered.
"You mean you haven't seen one,"
Macdonald corrected.
Il mean none has passed-unless 1t
went by In the night while we slept.
And even then our dogs would have
warned u.s."
Macdonald flung his ice-coated gloves
to table and stopped to take off his
mukluks. His face was blue with the
cold, but the bleak look In the eyes

Snow, Pete. Go to him I" urged Holt
wildly.
But before saltwater could move.
before the great fist of Macdonald
could smash down upon the bleeding
face upturned to his, sharp blow
struck the flesh of the raised forearm
and for the moment stunned the mus
cles. The Scotch-Canadian lifted a
countenance drunk with rage, passion
tossed.
Slowly the light of reason came back
into his eyes. Sheba was standing be-
fore him, his rifle in her hand. She
had struck him with the butt of 1t.
Don't touch him Don't you dare
touch him !" she challenged.
He looked at her long then let his
eyes fall to the battered face of his
enemy. Drunkenly he got to his feet
and leaned against a willow. His

forces were spent, his muscles weight
ed as with lead. But it was not this
alone that made his breath come short
and raggedly.
Sheba had flung herself down beside
her lover. She had caught him tightly
In her arms so that his disfigured face
lay against her warm bosom. In the
eyes lifted to those of the mine-owner
was an unconquerable defiance.
Hes mine-mine, you murderer"
she painted fiercely. 'If you kill him,
you must kill me first"
The man she had once promised to
marry was looking at different wom-
an from the girl he had known. The
soft, shy youth of her was gone. She
was forest mother of the wilds ready
to fight for her young, wife ready to
60 to the stake for the&usband of her
choice. An emotion primitive and
poignant had transformed her.
His eyes burned at her the question
his parched lips and throat could
scarcely utter. $50 you love
him?"
But though 1t was in form question
he knew already the answer. For the
first time in his life ne began to taste
the bitterness of defeat. Always he
had won what he coveted by brutal
force or his stark will. But 1t was be-
yond him to compel the love Of girl

Her hair In two thick braids was
flung across her shoulders, her dark
head thrown back proudly from the
rounded throat.

Sl've come to take him back to Ku-
siak to be hanged because he muir
dered Milton, the bank cashier"
The eyes of the woman blazed at
him. "Are you mad?"
Its the truth" Macdonald's voice
was curt and harsh. "He and Holt
were robbing the bank when Milton
came back from the dance at the club.
The towards shot down the old man
like dog. They'll hang for it If 1t
costs me my last penny, so help me
God"
"You say it's the truth" she retort-
ed scornfully. "Do you think | don't
know you now-how you twist and dis
tort facts to suit your ends? How long
is 1t since your jackal had him arrest
ed for assaulting you-when Wally Sell
fridge knew-and you knew-that he
had risked his life for you and had
saved yours by bringing you to DANES
after he had bandaged your wounds?"
"That was different. 1t was part of
the game of politics we were playing"
"Ycu admit that you and your
friends lied then. Is it like you could
persuade me that you're telling the
truth now"
The big Alaskan shrugged. "Be-
lieve 1t or not as you like. Anyhow,
he's going back with me to Kusiak--
and Holt. too, If he's here"
An excited cackle cut into the con-
versation, followed by q drawing an
nouncement from the window. "Your

the use of waiting? why don't you

HOME STUDY COURSE

Mrs. E. E. Moseley has just conl- pleted a home study course in short hand. The work is taken up lesson by lesson and taught just as if the pupil were present in person. These lessons have been carefully worked out. For four years a record has been made of the different questions asked by students, and as the work progresses confidence has grown with it to the extent that Mrs. Moseley does not expect to do any more class work. but devote her entire time to this new method of teaching, believing lmplic- itly that any pupil can learn short hand more thoroughly and in a short CT space of time, than by the old method of attending class, for it is impossible to get together any number of pupils in class who will pro- gress with the same rapidity. A limit ed number of copies will be ready by September 1st, and others will be completed as soon as possible. The price of this course is $12.OO This includes text books and shorthand dic- tionary.

 At the lowest the trading months were 119 to 125 points down; last prices were 112 to f25 down.
 Rains in Texas helyed the reactions to a great extent but the bulk of the selling seemed to be the result ~of evening up on operations over the week end on the long side.

 Vile contracts were down, spots were up, quotations being advanced 100 points.
 Spots however stood still yester day while contracts advanced about 250 points.

TYPHUS RACES IN
 NORTHERN RUSSIA

Amsterdam. Aug. 24.-Hunger. ty- hus and cholera are raging in the northern Russian provinces, says Petrograd dispatch to the Weser Zei4 tung of Bremen. The populationsaof, son receives only two pounds of oats weekly and no bread.
 Railway connections between Mos COW and the rest of Russia except the provinces of Tver and Tula have ceased entirely, according to Mos COW dispatch to the Dusseldorf Nach- richten. This condition is due in part to the passive resistance of the railway men and partly to the acts of counter revolutionists in blowing up railway bridges and destroying tracks.

New York Cotton.

New York, Aug. 24.-Reports of good rains in the Southwest served to strengthen the reactionary senti- ment today in the cotton market.
 Selling was general and there was break of approximately ,S per bale in price.
 The market closed at the lowest levels with the tone cosy at net decline of 150 to 175 points.
 The opening was comparatively quiet at decline of IS to A points. 'I1i;tial ofehings were absorbed iby Liverpool buying orders. But selling became more and more active and liquidation became general.
 The decline was orderly, but the market became somewhat excited late ill the morning when the detailed weather repoHt was received con firming the earlier rain news and the market broke more rapidly.
 The most general feeling appeared to be that the rains had come too late to prevent very low end August condition figures.
 According to one private authority the prospect is that the official re- port will be in the ncighDorhood of fifty six and Memphis reported a be- : lief there that the crop indication would be as low as l1,5O0.000 bales.
 The fear of further deterioration in crop prospects was relieved by the break in the southwestern drouth.
 There were also reports of increas ed spot offerings from the southwest, but the decline was most generally attributed to the improved crop situa- tion and the weaker technical posi- tion after yesterdays advance. The cotton market closed easy. :rxl. .;.,1,
