CHAPTER xI,
The ia,erIoper.

Ida went into Donald's cabin. Don
aid himself arranged TO sleep In the
messroom. Davies had his cabin, and
Clouts the first watch. Presently Don
aid found himself alone.
He got into his hammock, but he
could not grapple with the situation.
II seemed so unreal that he half ex-
pected to awake and find that he had
been d%ellrious, and that he was just
coming to after ~rescuing Ida from the
wreck of the Beotia. He felt more
and more nervous. He got up and sat
down at the table, staring into the
darkness in front OF him.
Suddenly he leaped to his feet with
n choked cry. Across the messroom,
at a distance Of about eight PAGES, he
saw. mistily outlined. the face and
body of the woman whom he had mag
ined that he saw In the house in Bal
timore-and again outside!
He stared at her incredulously. He
saw her so family that once again he
believed himself the victim of a hallu-
cination. The faintest illumination
played about her, showing only the
ethereal spirit that seemed in~carnate
in a vapory cloud.
But this was no monster such as
those devils Of the sea. 1t was the
most beautiful woman whom Donald
had ever seen or imagined.
He stumbled toward her. He put
out his hand. AS he did so, the figure
moved, and he heard Enthusiastically the
faintest slide Of feet upon the floor.
He tried 10 catch her. to satisfy HIM
self that he was not dreaming, but she
eluded him with ease, seeming to float
before his eyes, now here, now there.
Suddenly the door opened. Donald
saw Ida standing III the doorway, by
the light OF the candle within her
cabin.

The denial died or his lips. He was
not sure. He glanced hastily about
him, aiii, al tine far emf, ne Thought
he saw the dim outlines Of his visitor
again.
Ida peered through the darkness.
She saw nothing. but she interpreted
Donald's movements correctly.
Donald Who is she? How did
she come hcre?"
There is nobody, Ida" He heard
the desperation in his voice; and at
that instant a yearniDg toward the
ethereal loneliness OF that uncanny
wrath filed his whole heart. He took
a match from his box and struck il.
The squirt Of flame illuminated the
messroom. 1t was entirely empty.
"You see, dear" said Donald, turn
ing to Ida with an embarrassed laugh.

without conviction. And suddenly she
was crying upon his shoulder.

morning 1t will be all right"
"You don't love me any more. Don.

AS Effective as Tanks.

Cyprus, the founder of the Persian
empire, first put into practice the
idea o, equipping the wooden ammu-
milton carts of ancient Romans and
Egyptians with sharp scythe-like
sknives. These were fastened TO the
body int wheels of chariots. and were
effective in charging among massed
troops. 'tA
In the middle ages the modest
knived chariot was transformed into
a movable tower, covered with sur
face armor, affording protection to men
inside. These were moved during a
siege over the meats surrounding cas-
ties. From them a platform was let
down on thts-top of the walls, which
served as a bridge for the attacking
troops.

Then came the call of real war.
And having done his bit toward
showing that Wisconsin does ap-
prove of the army, he went to the
nearest Navy recruiting station and
enlisted there. He has not got
around to the aviation service yet,
but perhaps he will if the war lasts
long enough.
In the meantime he has been en-
rolled at the University of Wisconsin
for two years. but the various
branches of the service have kept
him so occupied that he has not had
time to enter.
However, he is assistant band
master in the Navy Band of the
Great Lakes Training Station, and
there is nothing up to that at Madi-
son.

FROM THEM THAT HATH NOT
By Lucy J. Price
The other day I bought a bond.

The other day 1 bought bond.
1t wasn't very much Of bond, but
it was all l thought could buy, just
now Spring brings expenses with
it, a few really necessary clothes,
some bills due, taxes, etc. So I
bought one bond, of the smallest de-
nomination. And 1 pinned my Lib
erty Bond button where it would not
be overlooked. l was feeling COM
fortably satisfied with myself.
I bought an evening paper on my
way home and SKINNED over the front
page to learn where the Germans had
reached in their onward push. The
casualty list had the center of the
page. How long it was! There was
no doubt now. Our men were in the
biggest, bloodiest, most terrible bat
tie of all history; those pink checked
boys we saw marching away to camp
few months ago. Most of US had
hardly awakened then to the fact that
our country was at war. And now
the list of those boys who had gone
down in battle numbered into the
hundreds a day.
The list had never hit me; no one
near to me had been named; and l
read almost mechanically. Then 1
struck 1.-THE name of one of my
closest friends. We had never heard
that he had left camp. l know that
never until that moment had the war
actually been real to me. 1t was real
now. 1t had taken Jim-"killed in
action" There was a wife in Jim's
home, and two children. l wondered
if they knew. Jim never dreaded go
ing into battle as l did going to see
them. But turned around and went.
Mrs. Jim met me at the door. She
was white and her hands were icy,
but she almost smiled.
you've heard, haven't you?" she
asked. "Jim has gone. I don't re-
alize it quite-just yet. And l am
trying not to-but just to keep on
thinking that he has done what he
wanted to do. He has helped. They
held them, you know. The Germans
failed to advance at that point where
Jim was-taken. He helped little
bit, to be one of them there, you
see.
"And l am going to keep on think
ing of what he said when he went
When he said goodbye the last time
l saw him, down there at camp, he
said, always remember this-espe-
cially if anything happens. This cause
is greater than the welfare or the
life of any individual on earth. We
have to give up everything we have
some time. This is a wonderful cause
to give it for
"That is craven on my heart,
believe, as it was on Jim's. And
am going to keep on being glad that
Jim went across"
On my way home I took off my
bond button. I couldn't pretend any
longer that 1 was doing anything al
all.

that just as America and the Allies

sacrifice, a common determination
and common, courage, in order that
they may secure common victory
for the benefit of all mankind"
This official prediction suited the
temper of the audience exactly. Al

the seats in the Opera House and
all the standing room was italian.
