CHAPTER XXI.
Words of Love.

My hand-cIasp frightened, and the long lashes shaded her eyes, conceal Ing from me the mystery of their depths, a brighter color flooding her cheeks. Outlined against the open port, and the blue of the water beyond the fresh young beauty of her face was almost new revelation. The words she had spoken, her manner, her sud den surrender to my wish, perplexed me, and completely overcame my ef- fort at self-control.
 "Why did you ask me thatY l ques- toned, scarcely aware of my words.
 "What?"
 "If I would despise you; would deem your act unwomanlyY
 "Because-because I had to know. It does not even yet seem right to me altogether. Fl could not do such thing unless you approved"
 You have faith in me, then?'
 "Yes-yes I-I believe in you."
 And you mean you would have re- fused to take such action if l had not urged it upon you, and had failed to assure you that doing so would in no way lower my respect for you?a
 Her eyes flashed up questioningly into my face, only to be instantly low cred again.
 "YeS"
 Not even to save your own lifeT
 q have always felt there were con ditions more to be dreaded than death," she answered slowly. "Mere association, such as you describe this adventure to be, with Fergus McCann, may not be such condition-yet l shrink from it. 1 have chosen my course, not because 1t may preserve my life, but for the sake of the others helpless on board this miserable yes sel; because of the crippled man locked in his own cabin; because of the mother praying for him in Phila- delphia. Oh Mr. Hollis, can you not underestimate?
 "Vera, why do you question me like this? Why should you hesitate, doubt, when you realize. as you must, that only through you, and your power over McCann, fhlllp baseoiat ' Hle abd ioi tune can be saved?"
 Because l would not save them at the cost of your T. i.@e,."
 Mine! You th.pk that of me?"
 "Yes," she said, ;ld now her eyes met mine frank'y .1 think that of you, Robert Holig.'
 This avownl, Iaietly, honestly spo- ken, sent the hot blood tlngling through my veins, yet left me for the moment speeehless. l could not, dare not hope that her words meant all they seemed to mean. She must have read the bewilderment in my face, Tor she did not hesitate.
 T realize how you.have looked upon me from the time of our first meeting 0 ths frgk deck of tue Esmera!da.

One of these days there will como from lover there" a casualty list of American soldiers that will eat into your soul and my soul Many Of the boys who went over there" to protect your honor and my honor and your freedom and my freedom will be on the list of dead. They will have given up their lives, even as the Man of Call lee. for you and for me.
 NOW. and not THEN. you aud l should ask ourselves. Are we doing EVERYTHING we can to help the Army which Is back of the Army" The Army Back of the Army is the great American Red Cross. The Red Cross is one of the biggest agencies for winning the war for the Allies. We are gong to win the war. of course. But when? NOW is the time to con. sider that question, too. NOW is the tune for you and for me to do EVEkI THING WE CAN fa the government ot the United States and ter the lest of the Allies. And we ought to 50 ta the depths of our hearts Tor tue an swer to the question: Are We 4o..z7 ALL We can?'
 The American Red Cross Is lae ,--. backbone of the American e&peu .U5t= ary forces. 1t cares for tde su. family while he Is away, Ii ,he needs care; il cares for tne himself. both on the way lo ,ua fields and after he a1rIses tIs1e5 great American Red Cross M..4A -..s.

This Is OUR e te act; this is our hour to ra.., -.s the Red Cross; this IS our hour to Io U that greatest of gil great nGlnaniV.s = organizations; this is our hour to z make a success or the ChristAiaa I,s--. bership campaign which has io. . purpose the enlistment of 1o.000.v. , new members by Christmas eve. .hs is our hour to take to our hearts tha Red Cross flag. the flag which stands not only for relief. not only for ths care of OUR boys lover there.' hu also for the MORALE which is necss sary for winning the war.
 k YOU and l do not belong to the Red Cross we are prolonging the sui. fering of our boys h France. because We are prolonging the war itself.
