st. Nazaire, April.-Before all the
Americans are out of France more
than $4,000 will have passed through
this port, and all of them will have
been given farewell presents for the
ocean trip by the z. M. c. A: and the
Red Cross. At the docks is a large
building constructed by order of Gen
eraI Harboard, Commander of the 5.
D. s., partly for the Y. M. c. A. and
partly for the Red Cross. The former
attends to the comforts of the well
man, and the other the sick and
wounded.
Under the direction of A. d. Smith
of Washington, d. c., and his asso-
ciates, Daniel Mclean of Bellows
Falls, VT, Miss Myra Butler of Woods
VILE, N. H., and Miss Laura Mcdonald
of Champaign, H., the Y. M. c. A..
side of the building is kept constantly
ready to serve the thousands of men
being put aboard the transports. The
first men to arrive from the embarka-
ton camp are those assigned to de-
tail work aboard ship. They come in
full equipment carrying rifles, as well
as the tin hat and gas mask which it
is their privilege to take home with
them. They enter the building in
squads, and pass before long count
err where "Y" girls serve them with hot
chocolate and cookies, and in addition
of nhnnOIqtp
cites and chewing gum.
After this the soldiers pass down
another counter which is piled high
with magazines, and select stock OF
reading matter with which to pass the
time on shipboard. Checkers anc

He could not see the flush which
crept into her cheeks, nor the light in
her eyes, but went on swiftly, unguard-
edly. his voice almost stern with the
emotion upon him:
'The border is unsafe. Mexico is
going to be torn to pieces this time
before temporary truce comes again.
You need someone to take care of
you"
"You forget papa grande," she re-
minded him gayly. "You seem to
have habit Of forgetting him."
"Your grandfather" he said in the
same quiet tone, sis not the man to
protect you now, for three very good
reasons: He is too near the border
and too rich to go unmolested by the
rebel bands, who have already made
more than one raid into American ter
ritory under cover of night.
"And he is too Spanish. He was
born in Spain-his father kept him
there until he was of age. He is a
Spanish and not an American citizen"
"How kind and thoughtful you are,
Senior Stairway" she Knocked him. ''Do
you find it necessary, every time you
come across a young woman who

His mood did not soften with hers

words, she meant business"
"Your grandfather has already lost
cattle to the raiders" he told her. "It
is known all over this end of the state
that he is his own banker-that he
always has a large amount of gold
and silver in the house.
"Some night he is going to be called
upon for something more than just
cows to feed the hungry rebels. And

"Then I should be protected" she
murmured demurely. 81 should be

Their master was not here; their
young mistress eyes were turned with
intent eagerness upon the young
American owner of the Painted Rock
ranch, and so the servants, each OF
them, turned to Stairway expectantly.
Stairway waited in silence moment
until a new set of faces in the doorway,
darker, sun-kissed, bearded faces, told
him that the vaqueros had risen to
Pedros clamorous call.
Then he spoke to them all, swiftly,
with rising emphasis, calling upon
them by name, addressing them in
mixed Spanish and English, taking the
word which came first to him that
they would grasp.
"Gaucho," he called as very tall.
sinewy, Arab-looking man pushed his
way through the cluttered door. "Tus

they all here-todos?'
"No, senor," he answered simply.

that even now Stairway was on his
way around the great house to the
patio drove her in haste first to her
mirror and the rearranging of her hair
the rose vine had disturbed, then to a
quick descent of the broad stairway
to the main floor.
The utter stiffness of the drawing

candles were like Shimmering ghosts.
De Ia Guerra was not in the room.
Immediately she was dimly con-

vaguest reason for It.
And then the reason asserted itself.
A chair lay overthrown, a little way
from the chair rug was crumpled
and thrown back, the ink bottle which
had been upon the table lay upon the
floor.
AS her eyes saw, her brain under
stood.
And as she stared, before her voice
had found it's way to her lips, she
heard sharp knocking at the front
door.
She ran to it swiftly, threw It wide

In his voice. I came down and-look,

Stairway left her side, striding alb
ruptly to where the bottle lay.
There was a dark smear on the car
pet near it. He leaned over it, stoop-
ing, seeing the candles reflected from
the dark surface.
And his face, too, was very white
as he Strengthened up, drawing a deep
breath between his teeth:
He managed to stand between the
girl and the dark smear.
Get Pedro" he commanded sharply.
"Have him call the servants, the va

them come armed"
The girl turned and ran swiftly
through the great rooms, down the
long hallway to do his bidding, a sharp
fear clutching her heart. Stairway.
when she had gone, stepped quickly
across the room, snatched up rug
there and threw it down upon the car

bottle.
Then he stood still, waiting.
AS he waited there came to him
from the silence without faint drum
ming sound, the noise of horses hoofs
in a mad tattoo Of flight through the
night.
1.-THE rebels" he muttered angrily.
'They are taking what is left Of him
back across the border"
He ran to the window. The curtain
there was torn. Moonlight and candle
light showed him where wood and
plaster were scratched as in a hur
ried exit.
Then Teresa had come back to him,
her great eyes wide with alarm, and
the servants were already trooping in.

Baseball Can Be Played By
Schools AT Rest Periods.

In my article published in the
Sentinel, Oct. 8 notifying the
teachers of the action of the
County Board of Education rela-
tive to teachers dismissing school
for the purpose of playing match
baseball games, | only desired to
convey that no more match
games should be played during
school hours. The article made
no reference to the schools with
in themselves playing ball dur
ing rest periods. No one reading
the article could constrew the
article to mean anything more.
only spoke of the action of the
Board not paying teachers for
time dismissed for match games
of ball.
The Boards action was taken
solely in the interest of the
schools. Any reasonable gentle
man or lady would heartily agree
with the Board, if they could
only hear the complaints made
by the patrons of number of
schools. Their principal object
ion was to the conduct at some of
match games, where profanity
was used and the breath smelled
of that destructive thing, whisky.
| believe the action of the
Board meet with the approval of
the greater majority of the pat
rons of the schools, and it acted
wisely in not paying teachers for
the time lost in dismissirg to
play match games of ball.
Some teachers are ready to
criticize the actions of the offic-
ials. if it is not in keeping with
their views. These teachers do
not know the conditions of every
community, and they should
have thought of this. The only
thing for the Board to do. was,
and is to make their actions gen
eral, so as to cover all schools.
If the teacher desire to make
Friday afternoon profitable to all
the pupils, aside from the week s
routine of work, spend them in
spelling matches, debates, story
telling, etc. A program of this
kind will meet the approval of
the patrons, and one in which
they will take an interest.
