In spite Of the tremendous battle
raging on the western front and the
huge number Of men engaged, press
dispatches report that only one
fourth of the French army has been
engaged and that General Petain has
been issuing furloughs to the men.
This would indicate that on the
French front at least, the situation
is not as serious as first indicated
However. the allies are making every
preparation to meet the expected re-
newal of the German drive, which
allied military experts say will come
before the first of May or not at all.

CHAPTER *.
Marauders.

Marauders.
The surprise was easily effected,
for Colonel, CobO's men were accom-
plished in, this sort Of work. Rosa,
crouchlng upon her bench, heard
nothing, saw nothing, until out of the
shadows beside her human forms ma
terialized. She screamed once
twice; then palm closed over her
mouth and she began to struggle like
a cat. M
Evangelina, who had walked at the
first cutlery, met the marauders as
they rushed through the door. There
were shouts and curses. loudly bel
lowed orders, great scuffling and
pounding of feet upon the dirt floor
Of the hut, the rickety. bark-covered
walls bulged and creaked. Over all
sounded the shrieks Of the negress
battling in the pitch-black interior
like an animal In Its lair. Then some
one set fire to the thatch; the flames
licked up the dead palm leaves to
the ridgepole, and the surroundings
leaped into view. 4f
Rosa saw o. syarthy. thickset, man

for moment, she cried Cueto's
name, but he gave. no heed. Rosa
shrieked. his name again; then she
heard the officer say: M
where is the young fellow? ]
hear nothing but the sQueals Of that
common wench."
Evangelina's cries Of rage and de-
fiance ceased. and with them the
sounds Of combat. From the blazing
bohios ran two armed men, brushing
sparks from their clothing. A third
followed, dragging Evangelina by one
naked arm.
Rosa felt herself swooning, and she
knew nothing Of what Immediately
followed. After . time she felt her
self shaken. and heard the colonel ad-
dressing her.
Come, ! come ~ he was saying

ans affection into idofatry.
Evangelina's Joy at having the glrl
to herself, where she could daily zee
her. touch her. serve her, was tenn
pered only by the knowledge Of Rosa's
unhappiness. She sc2lded and tyran-
nized, she mothered and adored the
girl to her hearts content; she
watched over her like hawk; she
deemed no labor in her service too ex-
acting. 1t would have gone Ill with
anyone who offered harm to Rosa, for
Evangellna was strong and capable;
she had the arms and the hands Of
mail and she possessed the smolder-
ing black temper Of Sebastian, her
father.
Even In peaceful times few people
came to this clearing in the woods.

passed uneventfully. Evangelina
worked, with one eye upon her Rosa,
the other watchfulIy alert for dan
ger. When evening came she pre-
pared their scanty meal, upbraidiDg
Rosa, meanwhile, for her attempts
to assist her. Then they sat for an
hour or two on tho bench outside the
door, talking about. Juan ORail-ye
and the probable hour of his coming.
When Rosa fretted about her BROTH
er. the pegress treasured her. Don't
be frightened. little dove; ne has the
makings Of great soldier Now,
then, 1t is growing cool and the night
carries fevers. Creep into. your bed
and dream about that handsome lover
Of yours"
Rosa obeyed, although reluctantly.
'1ll sleep for a while,'' she compro-
missed, then III come out and take
my turn"
Dawn was still long way of
when, true to her promise. Rosa
emerged from the hut with an apol-
ogy for having slept SO long. Evan
gelina< protested, though her eyes
were heavy and she had been yawn-
ing prodigiously for hours. But for
once the girl was firm. Having f..
nally prevailed in her determination,
she seated herself in the warm place.
Evangelina had vacated, and, curling
her small feet under. herr she settled
herself, chin in hand. to think Of
'O'Rei1ly. 1t was good time to think,
for the jungle was very still and the
night like velvet curtain.

dressed the dim blur which he knew
to be Colonel Cobo. The colonel Of
volunteers was in a vile temper, what
with the long night ride and an error
Of Cueto.s which had considerably
heightened the journey.
'Where is the house?" growled the
officer.
"Not far. But the path is rocky
and the horses feet"
Eyes, yes!" There was a creak OF
saddle feathers and groan as the
colonel dismounted. "Now, my good
Cueto,' he threatened, "another Of
your mistakes and I'll give you some
thing to remember me by"
A curt order brought his men out
Of their saddles. One of their num-
Der was detailed to guard the ami
mails, while the rest fell in behind
Cueto and followed him up the trail
by the stargl0w.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington.
June II, 1918.
My Dear Senator:

My Dear Senator:
need hardly tell you with what genuine inter-
est read your letter of June twenty You
were indeed a true friend and generous supporter
throughout your term in the Senate and want to
express most warmly my sense of gratitude for your
friendship and support
Your letter made me think very hard upon the
question whether there any avenue open to me
through which could express my personal interest
in your candidacy, but blocked by circumstances
which am sure you will not need to have expound-
ed to you. Again and again this question has pre-
scented itself to me and always have been checked
ny the consciousness that Intervention of any sort
on my part, even so much the appearance of an
effort to pick and prefer candidate, would produce
the most embarrassing impression and be met by a
justabe resentment the part of the constituency
concerned, which would do more harm to my friend
than my preference would do good It is in this blind
alley that find myself and am sure you will appre-
ciate the situation with your usual intuition
Cordially and sincerely yours,
(Sgned) WOODROW WILSON.

Chiffon or Watson-Which?

Chiffon or Watson-Which?
We call the attention of our readers to the letter of
PRESIDENT Wilson printed in this column The uterances
Of the President, always pointed and interesting pc
cuar so at the present stage Of the primary contest
Tor United States Senator It is secret that the Wat
son managers made much of the John W. Davis endorse
men While the latter expressly stated that he spoke
for himself and for the administration it be
lily deduced from the Watson literature and newspaper
comments that the hope INDUCED and the suggestion
emphasized that Davis probably spoke for the admin
istraton The takers, that is the United States Off
Gals now playing politics with Watson and the "boys
who have been whooping it up" for the Fairmont mil
honare, were not so cautious but boldly jumped from
suggestion to assertion that Davis endorsement is the
real candy from the White House. They little realized
that they playing into Chtons hand The latter
too close to the President and too direct in method to
permit this suggestion to walk around untagged
challenged At the psychological moment when his op
ponents had made the Presidents wish matter of
preme interest and had committed themselves to the
proposition that the administrations leaning would be
controlling with the democrats he went to headquarters
boldly and frankly he did the stump and said that
It the administration wants another he would retire
His platform declaration that "the President knows
that he withdraw (Chilto) whenever he desires
to do was characteristic of his eay to the President
and his holiness in campaigning; and while his friends
Senator had not misplaced his faith For the President
to utter the following about any candidate is most sig
nifcant:
"YOU WERE INDEED A TRUE FRIEND AND A
GENEROUS SUPPORTER THROUGHOUT YOUR
TERM IN THE SENATE AND WANT TO EXPRESS
MOST WARMLY MY SENSE OF GRATITUDE FOR
YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT"
That makes it impossible to argue and suggest any
further that the Davis letter be construed into any
thing affecting anybodys vote choice except that of
Mr. Davis and is only just to the latter to say that he
made it clear that he did not speak for the admnistra
ton.
The Presidents letter voices sincere wish to Eek
press my personal interest in your Chiltons candidacy
There is no suggestion" about that He has "per-
sona interest in Senator Chiltons candidacy but he
does not presume to dictate to the voters to pck
democratic candidates less that would do harm
to my friend" (Chilton) than my preference for Chill
tom would do good
1t seems too clear for discussion that the Watson
campaign has slipped cog and has opened "an avenue
for the truth to enter where guesses and suggestions
rolicking.
IT, as the Watson managers have by their actions
asserted the Presidents views should be controlling Sen
ator Chiffon is already the democratic nominee.

Observation-Disclosures Wilson an
his wal cabinet heard from Secretary
Baker that the American soldier has
made good in France, and that the
men OF the expeditionary forces are
well physically and in high spirits.
He did not attempt to give full re
port on what he saw and heard
abroad, and much Of the time during
the meeting listened to discussion II
things done In his absence by the
heads Of other government war agen
cies. Later Mr.. Baker said that even
casual observation made It evident
that tremendous progress had been
made on the war program since he
sailed for France.
Secretary Baker, back from a sew.
eral weeks trip to Europe, calls on
the American people for renewed sup
port OF the war.
The secretary outlined to the presi'
dent and heads of the governments
war-making agencies the war situa'
ton in Europe and attended the reg.

The American soldier has made
good in France, Secretary Baker as.

and British authorities are uniform in
their praise OF the courage, endurance
and soldierly qualities Of our men.
"The big thing for America to do IS
to support the war-support it finan.

arm Of America is in France. 1t IS
barred and ready to strike. The rest
Of the body is here in the United

This support should include subscril'
