Aura had grown into a lovely girl
as good and kind as she was beau
tiful Zenrica had kept silent con-
corning the girls noble birth, still
waiting for her revenge.
Wingara, a gypsy girl, in the
same camp as Aura, was sent out
to get possession of some valuable
papers, held by the noblemen in a
certain camp, which kept the COM
mon people from getting their
right. Wingara, a girl who did
not possess many attractions, was
bitterly jealous of the kind and
beautiful Aura. Almost every one
loved the gentel girl, while almost
none loved Wingara. with her jeal-
GUS and spiteful disposition.
After an absence Of three days,
Wingara came in triumphantly
waving the desired papers. which
were Immediately given to the Of
ficer at camp.
In the battle the next day the
noblemen were victorious, for the
common people suffered such a
loss that they were forced to re-
treat.
Meanwhile Wingara was cap
tured as a spy and doomed to be
beheaded at dawn. In the evening
when the guard came to bring her
some water. she told him that she
Aura was the guilty one; and that
even at this moment she was in
side the enemy's lines. Wingara
| had overheard an officer tell Aura
the preceding day. that she must
go to a certain tree; where a large
quantity of supplies were hidden.
Wingara also told the guard that it
was Aura who stole the papers.
The guard hurried to tell the
Count the astonishing news. Upon
going to the place designated by
Wingara. they found Aura in the
act of extracting the hidden sup
plies.
They were now convinced that
she was the clever spy who found
all the hidden supplies. and who
had stolen the papers. The Count,
angry that a mere child should out
wit the seasoned officers. ordered
her to be beheaded at dawn, and
for Wingara to be released.
1t was in vain that Aura pleaded
her innocence. At dawn she stood
at the place of her execution. Just
as the innocent girl was no more.
Zenrica rushed up before the
Count. and In a voice in which an
guish and triumph struggled for
mastery. cried:
Behold. proud Count. your
daughter. lost to you forever!"

Patriotism at Home

SuiIilIitI Ou tue alldHlIC Quasi near
small town called Hilland.
Being about the same age the
boys took many trips together.
They owned motorboat. which
they called the Butterfly" The
Butterfly could beat and boat on
the bay and the boys were proud
of it.
Don awoke one fine morning and
dressed and went to his cousins
room He knocked at the door and
when no one answered he walked
in.
Roland, Roland, get up! We
must get an early start for Rock
Island"
Il remember" came the sleepy
answer, but | hate to get up so
early"
Breakfast is ready" said Don,
for he knew his cousins weakness.
After eating breakfast they got
the boat out and cleaned the en-
CINE and packed the lockers with
food
They started for Rock Island,
which was about two miles out to
sea, The island was quite a nice
place, but being out of the steamer
path, it was quite isolated. 1t was
about mile in diameter On the
| east side there were many noun
tains, out on the west they low and
few. In the middle was a fine gfaz-
| il,o rr RI I,,,t h,I
used.
On arriving at the island the
! boys tied the boat fast and taking
their lunch. proceeded toward the
mountains. When they were about
there they were startled by loud
and terrific blast from an explo-
sion of something.
Maybe that's MINER" suggest
ed Roland
Pooh! What would miner do
here?" was the retort.
That's right, there's nothing
here"
"Oh, let's forget and go on"
| After an hours hot climb. they
!, reached the top of the tallest crag.
I Nov for lunch and rest" said
Don
We'll have good rest, then
we'll look around"
| In the afternoon they were star
tied by another blast They looked
in that direction and saw low
black steamer approach the island.
1t came up to what appeared to be
an improvised pier, and several
men or it looked like good many
men were unloading something.
Say that's Germans establishing
a U-boat base, I'll bet my hat"
cried Don, excitedly Say just
think of it, right here within the
Smile limit Look, they are carry
that right down in that valley over
there. That's Germans, I'm sure"
The Logs were naturally excited
and this low black steamer ap-
preaching and unloading these sub
! marine supplies, as they supposed,
keyed them up to high pitch. The
valley was an ideal place for a
/ place. They could see a little
house to one side that looked like
it might contain ammunition and
big tanA, that might have gasoline
or oil and many men making a big
cement place for the U-boats to
come up at.
Say" said Don, lets go see
what it is for sure, and then. 20
tell the officers. Well get a medal
for it," -...
Come on" was the excited an
swer. 1--WE can 60 to that ledge
over there and peep down"
Within half hour they were get
ting ready to cautiously peep over.
Don looked and turning around to
Roland he said. Look" Don then
lay on his back and laughed until
the tears rolled down his cheeks.
Why?
A sheep herder was taking pos
! session of the island.
