Spanish Gold.

The twins were seven years old when Donna Isabel's schemes bore their first bitter fruit and the occasion was a particularly uprOarious night when Don Esteban entertained crowd of his Castilian friends. Little Rosa was awakened at late hour by the laugh ter and shouts of her fathers guests. She was afraid, for there was some thing strange about the voices, some quality to them which was foreign to the child's experience. Creeping into her brothers room, she awoke him. and together they listened Rosa began to whimper, and when Esteban tried to reassure her his own voice was thin and reedy from fright.
 In the midst of their agitation they heard some one weeping; there came q rush of feet down the hallway, and the next instant Evangelina flung herself into the room.
 She fell upon her knees before them. Little master! Little mistress 1" she sobbed. You will save me, won't you ? We love each other. eh? See then, what crime this Is! Say that you will save mel"

FOREWORD

The Cuba of the days of WeyIer and Gomez and the ragged, half-starved bands of ''insurrectos" furnishes an admirable background for this delightful story. in which love, war and the search for a buried treasure are the principal strands that are interWoven to make a plot that is worthy of the mind of Rex Beach. The author of "The Spoilers" "The Barrier" and other stirring tales, has produced his most thrilling story in "RainboW's End"

to ulSilke her StepcnllQren-ESIeDa had told her frankly that they would inherit whatever fortune he possessed. AS may be imagined, she found ways to vent her spite upon the twins. She widened her hatred so as to include old Sebastian and his daughter, and even went so far as to persecute Evange- lina's sweetheart, slave named Asen- so.
 It had not taken Donna Isabel long to guess the reason for Sebastian's many privileges, and one of her first efforts had been to win the old mans confidence. It was in vain, however, that she f1attered and cajoled, or stormed and threatened; Sebastian Withstood her as towering ceiba with stands the summer heat and the win ter hurricane.
 Donna Isabel was crafty She began to complain about Evangelina, but 1t was only after many months that she ventured to suggest to her husband that he sell the girl. Esteban, of course, refused point-blank he was too fond of Sebastian's daughter, he de- clared, to think of such a thing.
 'So. that is It," sneered Donna Isa- bel. Well, she is young and shapely and handsome, as wenches go. I rather suspected you were fond of her"
 With difficulty Esteban restrained an oath. You mistake my meaning" he said stiff1y. Sebastian has served me faithfully, and Evangelina plays with my children. She is good to them; she is more of mother to them than you have ever heen."
 "Is that why you dress her like lady? Bah! A likely story!" Isabel tossed her fine. dark head. I'm not blind; see what goes on about me. won't have that wench in my house."
 Goaded to fury by his wife's sense less accusation, Esteban cried: Your house? By what license do you call it yours?"
 Am l not married to you?"
 "Yes-as leech is married to its victim. You suck my blood"
 Your blood !" The woman laughed shrlly. You have no blood; your veins run vinegar You are miser."
 "Miser Miser! I grow sick of the word. It is all you find to taunt me with. Confess that you married me for my money" he roared. "Of course 1 did Do you think a woman of my beauty would marry you for anything else? But fine bargain 1 mader'

 "Silence !" commanded Esteban.
 "Sell her, or"
 Without waiting to hear her threat Esteban tossed his arms above his head and fled from the room. Flinging himself into the saddle, he spurred down the hill and through the town to the Casino de Espanol, where he spent the night at cards with the Spanish of ficials. But he did not sell Evangelina.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
has announced that, no matter what
the results of the pending overtures
for peace may be, there will be an
other Liberty loan. To use his ex-
preston, owe are going to have to
finance peace for a while just as we
! have had to finance war"
/ There are over 100000 United
States soldiers abroad IF we trans
port these men back to the United
States at the rate of 500, 900 month
it will be over half year before
, they are all returned Our army,
therefore, must be maintained, vic
tualized, and clothed for many months
after peace is an actually.
The American people, therefore, hav
ing supported the Liberty loan with
patriotism that future historians
will love to extol, will have an eppor-
tunity to show the same patriotism
in financing the just and conclusive
victorious peace whenever it comes.
Not for moment, however, is the
Treasury acting on any assumption
that peace is to come soon. Until
peace is actually assured the attitude
Of the whole United States Govern
ment is for the most vigorous prose
cution Of the war, and the motto of
force against Germany without stint
or limit will be acted up to until peace
is an absolute accomplished fact.
One more Liberty loan, at least, is
certain. The fourth loan was popu-
larly called the Fighting Loan;" the
next loan may be a peace loan. What
ever the conditions, the loan must be
prepared for and its success rendered
certain and absolute Begin now to
prepare to support it.

We are told that constructive crit

to decide what is constructive? Why
not criticism without the adjective?
Most citizens believe that Universal
Military Training as a corrective of

constructive, and yet it was not adopt

GIVEN TO
EATING PLACE ORDERS

In answer to many Inquiries con-
corning the new regulations for eating
places, the Food Administration has
deemed it necessary to explain several
exceptions to the rules.
Sandwiches are excepted from the
restriction in Order on the amount Of
bread that may be served because so
many people, particularly patrons of
lunch counters make ole daily meal
entirely Of sandwiches, and a substi-
tute is difficult to find.
Poached eggs or Clipped beef on
toast are not forbidden by Order II,
but garnishing with toast.
Ham and eggs or bacon and eggs
are permitted by Order " but not two
kinds of meat.
Any difficulty in finding way of
disposing of waste to hog breeders or
garbage reduction plants should be re.
ported to the Food Administration.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Good Americans will ind0rse out
right the program of the National Sc
curity League to prevent the election
or reelection of any members of Con-
greSs this year who are not known to
be vigorous proponents of the war Or
who can be lured to support any spe-
ciOuS efforts at an incOncluSive peace.
The country needed such a nonpOliti-
cal organization as the league TO lead
the fight against the milk fed office
holders and office seekers who. In
many parts of the country are cater
ing to the hopes of the people that
the war may be ended, even though 1t
is not ended right. The league can
come TO Colorado, for instance, and
build fires under two or three pOliti-
clans who probably will seek re-elec-
tons here and, without its motives be
ing questioned, can expose the rank
pacifism which has featured their po-
litical careers
Just how the war will terminate

ALASKA'S SHARE IN
WINNING THE WAR

1t took her longer to get to Wash
ington to learn more about the worlds
food needs than it takes the food you
save to get to Europe, yet Mrs. Allen
Shattuck came all the way from Ju-
neau, Alaska, to take part in the con-
ference in home economics directors
of various States at the Food Admins
tration in Washington.
Mrs. Shattuck told most interest
ingly about the way food conserva-
ton had spread in Alaska. Conditions
are vastly different there - dwelling
places are so far apart, getting about
in winter is so difficult But these
are reckoned with in advance, and
are not even considered in the pro-
gram of work
We are doing our work in Alaska
through the United States Food AID
ministration alone" Mrs Shattuck
said, for we have no other agencies
to help US. The women who conduct
ed the campaign worked during the
cold weather in spite of the distance
and difficulties in getting about.
"Our actual saving in food has real
ly been very large considering our
population. OF course, it would not
look SO great to you, who have such
great numbers of people so close to-
gether. One thing that makes a differ
ence with US is that practically all our
women are homemakers Such WON
en-, [ believe, are far more ready to
see and to help work at the food
problem than are apartment dwellers
or those who live in hotels. We han
die the problem directly. 1t is taken
care of in each home, and that is why
we have a high percentage of food
cOnservers in Alaska.
1t would be an exaggeration to say
that we have almost as many types in
Alaska as we have people Yet that
statement would at least indicate the
diversity Of our population. One thing,
however, that has proved to me that
patriotism and humanitarianism make
universal appeal is that all these
different types have responded with
equal readiness to the demand of food
conservation.
when navigation opens we expect
to carry our work far and wide, and
we hope that there will not be a fam
lily in all our great territory that is
not doing something for the war, that
seems SO far away, but that is so close
to US because it vitality affects the
right of every man to carve out his
destiny, unhampered by the demands
of despotism and nilitarism."
