While Secretary of War Baker at

the war council he issued a trumpet
blast on the liberty loan duty OF the

This was read between the lines as
being A notice to prepare with re-
Gouhid force in a military way for the
duture II the Germans should reject
the presidents note and trust to the
winter to save them from imminent de-
feat
One of the important bits of in
formation gloaned after the meeting
of the war council was that Germany
very recently had undertaken to build
some new submarine cruisers of the
type recently described as carrying
guns OF a greater calibre than 7.s
inches 1t was stated however. that
these would avail nothing inasmuch
as even since the visit here of Sir
Eric Geddes. there had been organized
a campaign against the U-boats that
could only end in the capture or de-
struction of the few submarines Of a
dangerous type now operating OF the
west coast of Ireland and Scotland
The details of this new campaign were
not disclosed.
Members OF the council who dis
cussed the war end said the increase
of energy in all the departments that
were contributing to the American ex-
Evolutionary forces power was being
displayed with the sole purpose not OF
bringing about an armisttce. but OF

Further discussion was had when
the question of adopting the amended

of being defeated. for several member
expressed themselves as being com :

Then 1t was that Alderman Grundy
stated that he would agree to the in

the five per cent were retained and

told her. They're mostly cannery

When they were aboard and the
cabin boy had shown them to what
room, Bill drew long envelope from
his pocket.

The evening Of the third day from
there Bill travelled till dusk. When
camp was made and the fire started,
he called Hazel to one side, up on lit
tie rocky knoll. and pointed out half
dozen pin points Of yellow glimmering
distantly in the dark.

Before they started home Bill sue

coded to be work Of art, what with

cavil when Bill thrust them in the
pocket Of her coat, even II her smind
was set against accepting any peace
tokens at his hands.
In the nearing sunset they went
home through the frost-bitten woods.
where the snow crunched and squeaked
under their feet, and the branches
broke Off with pistol-like snap when
they were bent aside.
A hundred yards from the cabin Bill
challenged her for race. She refused
to run, and he picked her up bodily,
and ran with her to the very door. He
held her second before he set her
down, and Hazel's face whitened. She
could feel his breath on her cheek, and
she could feel his arms culver, and the
| rapid beat Of his heart. For an instant
she thought Roaring Bill Wagstaff was
about to make the colossal mistake of
trying to kiss her.
| But he set her gently on her feet and
opened the door. And by the time he
had his outer clothes off and the fires
started up he was talking whimsically
about their Indian neighbors, and Ha-
Eel breathed more freely. The clear
est impression that she had, aside from
her brief panic, was of his strength. He
had run with her as easily as If she
| had been a child.
After that they went out many times
| together. Bill took her hunting, initi-
| ated her into the mysteries Of rifle
shooting, and the manipulation Of a
| six-shooter. He taught her to walk on
snowshoes, lightly over the surface of
the crusted snow, through which other
wise she floundered. A sort Of truce
arose between them, and the days drift.
ed by without untoward incident. Bill
tended to his horses, chopped wood,
carried water. She took upon herself
the care of the house. And through
the long evenings, in default Of CONVEX
sation. they would sit with book on
either side Of the fireplace that roared
defiance to the storm gods without.
And sometimes Hazel would find her
self wondering why Roaring Bill Wag-
staff could not have come into her life
In different manner. AS 1t was-she
never, never would forgive him.
