CHAPTER x.
The Loss Of Rene.

There was the echo of an oath, a
harsh, cruel laugh, the crash of
planking,. a strange, half-human cry
Of fright from the negro-that was all.
The sudden violence of the blow must
have hurled me high into the air, for
! struck the water clear Of both boats.
and so far out in the stream that
when l came again struggling to the
surface l was in the full sweep Of the
current, against which l had to strug-
gle desperately. In the brief second
that interviewed between Sans shout
of warning and the crash of the two
boats had seen almost nothing
only that black. menacing hulk, loom
ing up between US and the shore, more
like a shadow than a reality. Yet now,
fighting to keep my head above water
and not to be swept away, was able
to realize instantly what had occurred.
I had been mistaken; Kirby had not
fed down the river; instead he had
craftily waited this chance to attack
Us at disadvantage. Convinced that
we would decide to make use Of the
rowboat, which he had left uninjured
for that very purpose. and that we
would venture forth just so soon as
the night became dark enough, he had
hidden the stolen craft in some covert
along shore to await our coming.
Then he sprapg on us, as the tiger
springs on his prey. He had calcu-
lated well, for the blunt PROV of the
speeding keelboat had struck US
squarely, crushing in the sides Of our
frail craft and flinging me headlong.
What had been the fate Of the
others I could not for the moment de-
termine. The darkness Swallowed ev-
erything, the bulk of the keelboat
alone appearing in the distance, and
that shape1essly outlined The craft
bore no light. and had 1T not been for
a voice speaking I doubt If I could
have located even that. The rowboat
could not be distinguished-it must
have sunken, or else drifted away, a
helpless wreck. The first sound my
ears caught, echoing across the water,
was an oath, and question: "By
=! a good Job; do you see that fell
low anywheref"
"Naw," the response mere growl.
Hes goner, reckon /; never knowed
whut hit him. jedgin' from the way
he upended it"
"We!I, then he isn't likely TO bothe,
us any more. Suppose he was the

"sure he wus; 1t wus the Niger
who was up ahead. We hit him, an
he dropped in tween ther boats, an
went down like stone. He never
yeeped but Just onct, when furst

"Has she said anything?"

From Paul Keith.

Dear Folks-I am off duty now and
will drop you a few lines to tell you
the news in general.
We are busy preparing for a great
time Christmas, and we sure are GO
ing to have it. We are going to have
a big celebration in the Balloon
Hangar. We are decorating it up
with fancy lights, palm leaves and all
kinds of tropical flowers.
Our Christmas dinner is going to
surpass our Thanksgiving dinner,
which sure will be hard to do. We
had everything imaginable for
Thanksgiving, and l will send you
the menu for Thanksgiving and
Christmas later on. The paymaster
has ordered over $4,000 worth of
candy, nuts, fruit and smokes for the
1000 men here.
am going to tell you something
about the camp here. 1t is located
right at the entrance to the Cristobal
harbor, on the Caribbean Sea. There
are three berracks, one for the sub
base, n for the submarine men and
one for the aviation, and believe me,
they are barracks. The best quar-
tiers | have v seen-weatherboard
ed and ceiled, electric lighted, two
stories with verandas on each side
and a restroom on the lower deck.
In the rest room of the base barracks
we have pool tables, writing tables,
and a library of about 1900 volumes.
We have nice white double decker
hunks, and steel lockers along the
walls to store our clothes in. Believe
me we keep our barracks and lockers
orderly and neat.
We have a baseball diamond and
tennis courts, and we have canoes
for going rowing out in the Caribbean,

ed son of Mr.. and Mrs. Vincent SUIT
ton, Of Vulcan, Mo-, who departed
this life, Thursday, January 2, 1919,
after an illness of two weeks, aged 8
years, 2 months and 16 days. He was
born October II, 1910, neal Vulcan.
Gone, but not forgotten! Only
sleeps in peace. Vernon was a very
bright little boy, loved by all who
knew him and sadly missed by all. He
leaves a host of friends and a number
of relatives. Survived by father,
mother, sister and brother. Our
hearts go out in deep sympathy to
them in the hour of their bereave-
ment.
A precious II from us is gone,
A voice we love is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
That never a be filled!

IF we may credit current report the

aid has gotten into a langle of trouble,
and | sympathize with him. 1t seems
he was arrested, recently for refusing
to comply with the regulations of the
city board of health requiring the
wearing of influenza masks on the
streets and in public places, and was
fined $50 and costs. In the next issue
of the Times Herald he expressed his
opinion of city officials in such langu-
age that the postmaster refused to
allow it go through the mails, holding
it to be a violation of postal regula-
tions. In these days of official regu-
lation and repression we editors have
to be careful not to run crisis r to
the postmaster's notion as to fitness
and propriety. He can-and some
times likes to-make himself the ar
bitter Of u destiny, with none to
override his judgment. How .our
paths are by law and ruling barred
from error!

dnction of navy building by Great
Britain. But if all these things should
fail it is gravely to be doubted il
American sentiment would ever sane
ton our going into naval competition
with Great Britain to the extent of
trying to build a larger navy than
hers. For it is hard to see how the
superiority of the British navy is any
special menace to our own country.
1t might possibly be considered such
to European countries, and so, in a
sense, an obstacle to the secure peace
of the world. But as for the United
States, protected by 5000 miles of
ocean, in control of raw material and
food, with Canada at our door for a
hostage, it is difficult to understand
how Britain would ever want to use
her navy against u.s."

In loving remembrance of our dear

parted this life, January IA, 1918.
The month of January again is here,
To US, the saddest of the year,
Because it took from us, a dear one,
Just one year ago to-day,
A loving father, true and kind,
No friend like him on earth we find.
God called him home, it was his will;
But in u hearts there fingers still.
For all of US he did his best;
May God grant him Eternal rest!
Sadly missed by wife and children.

How wonderful the former genera
tions with the looseness of their sur-
roundings! They ate and drank when
and what they willed, masticated to
nc set rule, and the food they devour-
ed had no official guarantee. There
were no boards of health or pure food
laws, and official supervision Of their
ingoings and ~outcomiDgs was I'M
known; yet their happiness and the
span of their life were not cut short.
Religious devotions were general and
fervent, and 'good red licker'' was
not under ban to him of temperate
habits.
