He could not help feeling, however,
that somehow the little agent would

Shortly before the noon hour, Peter
Ames halted the old automobile from

and out stepped O'Dowd, followed by

Irishman shot at him out Of the cor

Paul" said Barnes. There is nothing
to keep me here any longer, Miss Cam
eron. I suggest that you allow me to
escort you at once to your friends,
wherever they"
She was opposed to this plan. While
there was still chance that Sprouse
might be apprehended in the neighbor-
hood, or the possibility OF his being
caught by the relentless pursuers, she
declined to leave.
"Then, I shall also stay" said he
promptly, and was repaid by the
tremulOus smile she gave him. He was
helplessly in love with this beautiful
cousin Of kings and queens. And
when he thought of kings and queens
he realized that beyond all question
his love was hopeless.

(TO BE CONTINUED
"HONOR, DUTY, COUNTRY"

New York World-Coded forms may
change; the first principles for SOL
dierly conduct are immutable. That,
in other words, is what Lieut. Gen.
Bullard told the West Point graduates
of 1919 on Wednesday in that part Of
his address devoted to regulations and
the man. When he became an officer,
the general said, he learned the reg
ulatiOns by heart. Then the powers
repealed and revised them. The same
thing happened again and again. Fin
ally he threw the book over and fixed
his code in three words: Honor,
Duty, Country.
''They fit in everything" said the
general, commencing these words 10
the cadets, and he added, 81 have nev-
er got into trouble by not knowing
the regulations"
Three words which can thus be sub
stituted for a whole set of rules have
to be of fine significance. But the
finest thing, after all, about the terms
cited at West Point is that they do
not cease to do their bit when they
are taken out OF a military appiica-
tion If they give to the soldier that
necessary of his calling, something
stable and steadfast to stand by, they
offer no less to the civilian, whether
in private or in public life. They do,
indeed, eft in everything" We can
fancy a statesman with the real
worth and dignity of his trust upon
him preferring honor, duty and coun-
try to considerations of party, place
and selfish power.
Militarism qualified by Gen. Bull
lard's terms confirms itself as main
stay, not menace, to the land. On
lines of honor duty and country
armies of soldiers and civilians merge
into one mighty host of high prin-
cipled citizenship. The West Point
ers who listened to this years COM
mencement speaker could have heard
nowhere a more soldierly upholding
Of citiZenly ideals.

great sigh of relief.

How was he to find the courage to
impart the appalling news to her? He
was now convinced beyond ali doubt
that the so-called Sprouse had made
off with the priceless treasure and
that only miracle could bring about
its recovery. He realized to what ex-
tent he had been shaped into tool to
be used by the master craftsman. He
saw through the whole Machiavellian
scheme, and he was also now NOR
ally certain that Sprouse would have
sacrificed him without the slightest
hesitation.
In the event that anything went
wrong with their enterprise, the man

associates! He would have been
glorified and not crucified by his

I'll be here again at four o'clock, on

"Do you mean to say that you are
coming back here to run the risk Of

We've had word that the govern

who it was that engineered that whole
business last night?"
Barnes smiled. II do. He is a Sc

ODowd. "He is the slickest, cleverest
crook that ever drew the breath Of
life. And he's got away with the
jewels, for which you can whistle in

cried Barnes, wave of relief surging
over him. "He has been in this tav-
ern every night"
Sure he has. But answer me, did
ye ever see him here after eleven in
last night, anyhow. In the struggle he
had with Nicholas last night he was
recognized. That's why poor old
Nicholas is lying dead up there at the
house now--and VIII have a decent
burial unbeknownst to anybody but
his friends"
"Good God, O'Do"d, you can't mean
that he-he killed"
HE stuck knife in his neck. The
dirty snake! And the chief trusted
him as no crook ever was trusted be-
fore. In the name of God, Barnes, how
did you happen to fall in with the vii
lamp
Barnes passed his hand over his
brow, dazed. "He-he represented
himself as book agent" he mumbled,
striving to collect himself. "Jones
knew him. Said he had been around
here for weeks. IL"
That's the man." said O'Dowd,
scowling. "He trotted all over the
county, selling books. For the love Of
it, do We think? Not much. He had
other fish to fry, you may be sure.
Barnes, if we ever. fay hands on that
