CHAPTER XII.
A Woman with a MIsslon.


Within a few hours after O'Reilly's
return to New York he telephoned to
Felipe Alvarado, explaining briefly the
disastrous failure Of his Cuban trip.
II feared as much" the doctor told
him. "You were lucky to escape with
your life."
swell, I'm 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 Wen 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 woman7"
eyes, and an unusual woman. She
has contributed literally to our cause.
I would like you to meet her."
every well; but I've only one suit of
clothes, and it looks as If I'd slept In
it,"
"Oh, bother the clothes" laughed
the physician. "Tve given most of my
own to my destitute countrymen.
Don't expect too much to eat, either /;
every extra dollar, you know, goes
the same way as my extra trou-
sers. 1t will be a sort Of patriotic
poverty party Come at seven,
please"
That evening O'Reilly anticipated
his. dinner engagement by a few mo-
ments in order to have a word alone
with Alvarado.
'"This lady who is coming here to-
night has influence with Enriquez," Al
varadO told him. "YOu remember I
told you that she has contributed lib
orally. 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 Emissions" were always tire
some, he had discovered. This one, 1t
appeared, was unusual only in that she
had adopted a particularly exacting
form of charitable work. Nursing,
even as a rich woman's diversion,
must be anything but agreeable.
oReilly pictured this Evans person in
his mind--a large, plain, elderly crea-
ture, obsessed with impractical ideas
Of uplifting the massesl She would
undoubtedly bore him stifr with stories
Of her work; she would reproach him
with neglect of his duties to the suf-
fering. Johnnie was too poor to be
charitable and too deeply engrossed
at the moment with his own troubles
to care anything whatever about the
masses" And she was D "mlss."
That meant that she wore thick glasses
and probably kept cats.
A ringing laugh from the cramped
hallway interrupted these reflections
then a moment later Doctor Alvarado
was introducing o'Rellly to young
woman so completely out of the pie
ture, so utterly the opposite of his
preconceived notions, that he was mo-
mentarily at a loss, Johnnie found
himself looking into a pair OF frank
gray eyes, and felt his hand seized By
a firm, almost masculine grasp. Miss
Evans, according to his first dazzling
impression, was about the most fetch
ing creature he had ever seen and
about the last person by whom am
young man could be bored. The GIRL
and she was a girl--had brought init

entire German feet at Kiel might at one
time have been considered skillful bit
Of stage play to thwart the plans of the
allies to take over the German feet on
the signing Of an armistice; but the tax
ing over of Schleswig, one of the north
ern provinces of Germany, and the
spreading of the movement to other
parts of the nation cannot be considered
of the unreal sort Any stage acting on
the part of the German government in
the past, along the line of faxed popular
demonstrations, has gone beyond the de-
sires Of the German government until it
has become real menace to the safety
Of the government. The fermentation Of
discord and then revolution in Russia
through German Vaccination has come
home to roost on the Hohenzolern gov
ernment itself.

CURRENT COMMENT
Why Weeks Failed.

"It is magnificent, but it is not war"
on the heroic charge at Balaelava which
Tennyson has immortalized in lyric.
Herein lies an oft-recurrent contrast.
Read over the list of votes which Mr..
Weeks has cast in the Senate, displaying
an unprecedented degree OF courage, and
you may well paraphrase the French
soldier and say Magnificent, but not
politics"
There was woman's suffrage His
views are undoubtedly the same as those
of David T. Walsh, who voted in the
legislature against that extension of the
franchise. But Walsh derived all the ad
vantage that comes from the suffragists'
drive against any man who dissents
from their cause. No. Mr. Weeks knew
that Gov Mccall, whom he might ex
pect as a rival, was a suffragist; that
Calvin Coolidge whom he might ex-
pect as an associate on the ticket, had
voted for suffrage; that any Democratic
opponent on election day would be a
suffrage. And yet Mr., Weeks voted as
he believed right. We do not say that
his convictions were necessarily correct.
We do say that his courage was mag
nicent," and that if this is not poll
ties" so much worse for our politics and
for us.
And you may go up and down the list
with the same result, There was his
vote against Mr. Brandeis. There have
been his votes against government own
ership, at time when war board wages
made it very popular to favor the gov
ernment's taking Of every thing. There
have been his votes against large ex.
penditures. There was his frank oppo.
sition TO the plan, ill.digested and i'll
considered, for education at the nation's
expense of all the soldiers in the army
Education, for what, and in what way
Nobody knows. Weeks refused to vote
away the billions involved till he knew
what it was all about. This was magni.
ficent, but it was not politics"
The popular election of senators
against which he also voted, is sure to
inculcate a new standard Of timidity in
our public servants; they are becoming
at the mercy of catehcries of the dema
gogue We have had an exhibition OF
this sort in the campaign just closed,
without parallel in It's descent to the TO-
noble and the despicable. But Mr.. Weeks
retires from the field in the happy as
surance that he has voted according to
his convictions of what was wise and
honorable, regardless of its political con
sequences TO himself.-Boston Herald.

PAY UP YouR WAR CHEST DUES.

PAY UP YOUR WAR CHEST DUES.
Inasmuch as Barre's allotment in the
drive for the United War Work fund is
to be taken as out of the subscriptions to
the Barre war chest, it behooyes everyone
who signed the subscription to the war
chest to make haste to pay up to date
SO that there win be money available for
appropriation to the United War Work
fund. We understand that during the
several weeks when the influenza epidem-
ie was raging in Barre the regular pay
ments to the war chest were not kept up
and that there Is a considerable amount
of money now due on the pledges. It is
hoped that the subscribers will see to it
that their pledges are made good prompt
ly. There will, of course, be no drive for
the United War Work fund, as it was
understood at the time the war chest
was subscribed that there would be no
further calls on Barre for money outside
of the governments calls for subscrip-
tions to Liberty bonds and war savings
stamps Therefore, let everybody make
good their pledges to the war chest.

It was odd enough for a street crowd
to tell" the president of the United
States of the consummation Of events of
which he, naturally, would be the first
one to hear. Nevertheless, the street
crowd in Washington went to the White
House yesterday and informed President
Wilson that an armistice had been signed
and that fighting in the great world war
was at an end No wonder that Presi-
dent Wilson was mildly surprised that
the news of the great historical events
should be common property throughout
the whole United States before he as the
official head of the nation should know
anything about the matter. But gradually
the situation began to clear and it be
came evident that the people had been
duped by false reports.
