CHAPTER XII.
A Woman With a Mission,

 Within few hours after O'Reilly's return to New York he telephoned to Felipe Alvarado, explaining briefly the disastrous failure of his Cuban trip.
 "I feared as much," the doctor told him. You were lucky to escape with your life"
 "Well. Pm going back. Won't you in- tercede for me with the junta? They're constantly sending parties" "Um-m not quite so often as that" Alvarado was silent for a moment then he said: "Dine with me tonight and we'll talk 1t over. I'm eager for news of my brothers and-there is some one wish you to meet. She is interested in our cause"
 "'She'? A woman?"
 "Yes. and an unusual woman. She has contributed literally to our cause. I would like you to meet her."
 "very we'll; but I've only one suit of clothes, and 1t looks as If I'd slept in it."
 "Oh. bother the clothes! laughed the physician. i've given most of my own to my destitute countrymen. Don't expect too much to eat, either i; every extra dollar, you know, goes the same way as my extra trou- sers. It will be a sort of patriotic poverty party Come at seven, please"
 That evening O'Reifly anticipated his dinner engagement by few mo- ments in order to have a word alone with Alvarado.
 'This lady who Is coming here to- night has influence with Enriouez." AL varado told him. "You remember I told you that she has contributed lib- erally. She might help you"
 O'Reilly had met women with ideals with purposes, with avocations, and his opinion of them was low. Women who had missions" were always tire some, he had discovered. This one. it appeared. was unusual only in that she had adopted a particularly exacting form of charitable work. Nursing. even as a rich womans diversion, must be anything but agreeable. O'Reilly pictured this Evans person In his mind-a large, plain. elderly crea- ture, obsessed with impractical ideas

come very thin. and she judged that the color had entirely gone from her cheeks. It saddened her, for O'Reilly's sake.
 Time came when AsensiO spoke of giving up the struggle and going in. They were gradually starving he said, and Rosa was i'll the risk of discovery was ever present. It was better to go while they had the strength than slow ly but surely to perish here. He had heard that there were twenty thousand reconcentrados in Matanzas; in such a crowd they could easily manage to hide themselves: they would at least be fed along with the others.
 No one had told ASensio that the government was leaving its prisoners to shift for themselves, supplying them with not pound of food nor a square inch of shelter.
 Misery bred desperation at last 1; Evangelina's courage failed her, and she allowed herself to be won over. She began her preparations by disguis- ing Rosa. Gathering herbs and berries, she made a stain with which she col ored the girls face and body, then she sewed bundle of leaves into the back of Rosa's waist so that when the lat ter stopped her shoulders and walked with stick her appearance of de. formity was complete.
 On the night before their departure Rosa Varona prayed long and earnest ly, asking little for herself, but much for the two black people who had sui fered so much for her. She prayed also that O'Reilly would come before 1t was too late.

far heavier losses than have ever
been officially admitted by the Ger

THE ships returned to port In
awful condition, The Seydlitz which
had 200 dead aboard, arrived with

had 1S0 dead.

Secret Service Duty NeWest Thrill for Women Today;

one Of the most important ways by
which a woman can serve her coun-

a secret service agent one could

ingenuity OF which he was pos

one would have the satisfaction
Of knowing that he was really
doing something worth while.

A DIRTY HABIT, QUIT IT.

The trouble with profanity is not
so much that it is wicked, but that
it is just plain dirty.
1t is not so much that you shock
religious people, as that you disgust
decent people, that we object to it.
Swearers are behind the times.
They are hold-overs from former
century. A hundred years ago or
so swearing was a habit INDUCED in
by all classes. Hostlers swore in the
stable, gentlemen swore in the club,
boys swore in the street, and ladies
swore in the parlor. Husband and
wife cursed each other across the
breakfast table.
In the stories of Smollett, for in
stance, and in plays of the time of
Ben Johnson, you will find choice
oaths ripped out by the incest peo-
pie when they lose their temper.
The world has grown more decent
since then. A gentleman that would
curse in the presence of ladies would
be hustled away, and never invited
again.
Americans, in former times, were
so profane that the porters of the
railway stations, in France or Egypt,
on seeing an American traveller
alight from train, would shout,
Fright this way, Mr.. God-damp'
Nowadays anybody that swears is
set down at once as being coarse and
vulgar.
The young man who wants to sue
coed needs to take advantage of ev-
erything that may help him on. And
swearing will be a black mark
against him in any job he may have.
And if he wants to associate with
the right sort of girls he must keep
his talk clean.
Nobody wants swearer IN the Of
fee, nor in the workshop, nor on the
train, nor in the hotel. The only
place swearing fits is the saloon.
Swearing means you don't know
how to talk. Your vocabulary is
limited. 1t is the sign of ignorance
Swearing means weakness. You
will notice that forceful men, whose
words carry weight, use simple, plain
words.
When you swear it shows your
| impotence. 1t is the petty refuge of
the helpless. If you can help thing
help it; if not, keep still; anyway
don't swear.
Swearing has bad kin. 1t goes
with ignorance, brutality, cruelty
drunkenness, RIGHTEOUSNESS, vicious
ness and anger. And you can tell 8
habit by the company it keeps.
To abstain from swearing does not
mean you are a sissy. 1t simply
means you're decent.
Altogether, swearing is a useless
unclean and offensive habit.
Quit it!

COOLEY SAYS BUY BONDS

lltntSif, SHiud,
i suppose since you received my
last letter half the population of
Stanford have enlisted in the army
not must have done their bit buying
ed that a new loan starts April 9Th.
Each company commander has re-
quested his men to write one of
their friends and ask them to get OF
least ten friends to take out bonds
nearly every soldier in the regular
army have bonds from $50 TO $500,
payable by the monthly allotment
system for ten months; no one has
expressed regrets from buying a
Bond. Soldiers are willing to back
the government with a part of their
earnings as well as give their SER
vices and maybe their lives for the
country; all are wishing for active
service in France, but at the same
time we would all like to see the var
come to an end. / don't think any
of US are afraid of the kaiser's gas
shells or liquid fire. So | am asking
not only one friend, but every read
er of the Interior Journal that is my
friend and a friend of the govern
ment to take at least one bond in
the Third Liberty Loan, if they can
not afford more. They are in reach
of everyone that has as much as
$500 per month to spare. You can
count on all soldiers in foreign SER
vice doing their share if they are
given a chance on this loan. / would
be glad to hear from some one or
every one who buys a bond through
the reading of my letter.
