The race between Kimball and WI
Tsang-perhaps the last race-Was
on as was stated in the last chapter,
with Madeline as the prize. 1t was
a race between the inscrutable in
volutions of the mental processes OF
the East and the breezy JdirectneSS
of the West; between cold age and hot
youth; between a purpose so i'm
placable, so outside of normal
human emotion that it was more
deadly than hate, and a love that
grew momently into passion for
service.
In the past, Kimball, with the
other gallant men who laid aside
every purpose in life but the one
imposed upon them by the plea of a
dying man and by the need of help
less girl, had been the sport of that
implacable purpose that was held
fixed in WI Tsang's shattered eyes.
Would they always be helpless
pawns?
That was the question that was in
Henderson's mind as he sat beside
Kimball in the cramped pilots pit of
the hydroplane. He had had COM
paratively little experience in flying
and the momentary wave of help
Iessness that overwhelms the novice
when the cannoning wind filings ones
words back into ones teeth and when
the inconceivable clatter of the en-
CINE establishes a local chaos, was
on him while he thought it.
But Kimball, his helmet giving
his clear young face something Of
the stern purity Of purpose that
makes the air-man type blood
brother of the Crusader, had no
such doubt The ship over whose
side he had seen Madeline lifted
was sinking in the water. Ee had
seen the flashes from the wireless at
Hatteras answering to the ships call
for help, and if it had been one
of the combats incident to the con-
voy service to which he had for a
time been assigned he would have
calculated with considerable compla-
cency that the chances of safety for
all those on board were about eighty
five to the good.
But, with Madeline! With the wake
Of the yacht-conjured out of the
thin air apparently by that silken,
slant-eyed, icy-fngered Oriental
still showing faint white traceries
across the bow Of the ship, what
lover could complacently rely on that
preponderance of argument in his
favor? He had no knowledge, Of
course, that the ship that had picked
Madeline up, carried the President,
and that every resource { he navy
was on the alert to guar. it.
If he had known it-he would still
have taken no chances. He swooped

1 think" turning to Madeline, 'little
lady, this time you'll have rest and
quiet"
Madeline smiled gratefully and
pressed his hand.
"You are all so good to me-" she
began to say and then her lip quiv-
cred.
Both men nodded their heads VIC
lently. Don't talk-tOo mucn
strain" they shouted.
Under them now they could see a
body of shining silver water.
"The Chesapeake" Kimball
formed the words with his lips. Soon
they were Swimming over the sur
face of the water-the moment when
they left the air and rested on the
water was an imperceptible grada-
ton. They found sandy shelving
shore. Found this place the other
day." said Kimball with much sell
graduation. "Just a little wading.
Henderson will carry you ashore.
Then you'll phone to Boiling Field
for some one to come down here and
take the plane back for me. They'll
do that for me. I'll wait here with
the plane"-
"No-no!" Madeline began to
turn white. Something might hap
pen. Let's stay here together"-
''No Madeline" There was a new
note in the young aviator's voice.
"Nothing's going to happen. I'm IN
charge now. I've thought it all out.
Go up to the house with Henderson.
Your safety's the first thing. Oh
wait a minute Henderson. You've
got the Chart
"All but the Triangle
Eyes, I've got that. Suppose you
take them BOTH He took folded
oiled silk package out of his pocket
and give it to Henderson, who took
it reverently and slowed it away i'll
an inner breast pocket.
Then Henderson got over the side,
found the water knee-deep only, lifted
Madeline over the side and strobe off
with her. Madeline turned when they
reached che shore and sent a long
look, to Kimbau one of those thirsty
glances where one drinks deep of
all the words that are never spoken
and the thoughts that are never
plumbed. So at last, with a wave
of the hand she vanished from Kim
balls side IN Henderson's custody.
1t was very, very silent in the lit
tie cove.

of forlorn Maryland town. After
him rather sulkily, trailed Snyder
and Fuller. About halfway up the
struggling main street was the
"hotel," a fairly large frame house
with wide porches up the whole front
of it. WI Tsang, without saying a
word to either of his companions,
went Immediately to the telephone
booth in the "office.' Fuller, &C
cording to Encouragement, regis
tered for the party-under their real
names. In few minutes WI Tsang
came out, his yellow face a trifle
more inscrutable than ever.
"Chen Yuang and Charlie Ii have
been sent to Occoquan. Brownlow
had them sent there. Two more of
our men gone"
Snyder whistled-
"Can you count on the others?"
The Oriental eyed him steadily
with that glance that probed through
the screen of skin and flesh and
muscle to the hidden heart.
mo man can count on any man
but himself" he said.
Fulle:, at the Oriental's elbow,
shifted his feet. Tsang wheeled and
looked at him, too, long and steadily.
"Now go get my car. We go to
Virginia right away" he said shortly.
Fuller, with a resentfuI look at
Tsang, which the other received with
the most inscrutable expression,
went sluggishly out. Snyder, with
out a word to WI Tsang went imme-
diately to the room assigned him.
WI Tsang walked placidly to a room
on the first floor.

COUNTY BOARD SENDS
RECORDS TO WASHINGTON
Probably First local Board in State
If Not in Country to Get Complete
Work Finished.

! The Local Draft Board of this
county, composed of George w. Brad
shaw, chairman: County Clerk Will
liam H. Medford, secretary, and DR..
Guy Steele, on Thursday sent to the
War Department at Washington, D..
c., the complete records CT their
work in this county, being probably
one of, if not the first, board in the
whole country to get it's records to
the Department.
The records OF the local board
comprise statistics concerning nearly
5000 men; there were 2265 regis
tered on the first registration, while
the later registrations brought the
number up to nearly 5000. Of the
number eligible, all but a few were
called to service, there having been
a call which would have practically
completed the eligible list at the
time the armistice was signed.
Dorchester county had slightly ov-
er 100 men in the service, and OF
this number 64o were obtained by
means of the selective draft, while
about 500 enlisted, that is, nearly
one-half of the men in the service
from the county enlisted in the varl-
Gus branches of the service, while
many of those who were called by
the draft allowed themselves to be
so called because they deemed this
the fairest way, they were perfectly
willing to go. but wanted to be call
ed by the rules prepared by the gov
eminent.
Of the number who escaped by ex-
emption by far the largest part was
on account of physical reJections;
others were exempted because OF
dependents, or because of being en-
gagged in shipbuilding or farming; the
number exempted on account of be-
ing engaged in the shipbuilding bus1-
ness, however, was very small, and
the number to be exempted on &C
count of farming had become very
small at the time the armistice was
signed.
The officials engaged in the county
were George W. Bradshaw, chair
man; w. H. Medford, secretary, and
DR.. Guy Steele; these comprised the
local board. Drs. E. E. Wolff and
G.. Roger Myers. were the examining
physicians. Mr.. j. Thoams Leonard
was chief secretary to the local
board. Judge w. Laird Henry was
chairman of the District Board; DR..

LAYMEN HOLD MEETING
w. J. Downing, of Salisbury, is
Chosen President.

Chestertown, Nd, March 28.--5
While the Bishop was presiding Qy5
er the ministers the laymen Of the
Wilmington Conference were hold
ing their conference in the Methodist
Protestant Church just across the
street. The latter chose w. ]. Down
ing, of Salisbury, as their president.
The principal address was made by
Caleb Burchenal, of Dover, Del. He
spoke of the returned soldier and
how to win him to the church.
At the meeting of the trustees OF
Wesley College Institute, this after
noon, the following officers were
elected:
President, John E. Townsend, OF
Salbysville; vice-president, Rev. R.
X. Stephenson, of Milford; secretary
treasurer. Arley Magee, Dover, and
assistant OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, Miss
Julia Jones. Harry L. Price, OF Bal
timore, was elected a lay trustee to
succeed Willard Salisbury. All 9TH
er lay trustees were reelected. Upon
the suggestion of the Rev. j. W..
Colona, the retiring treasurer, $l25
left unexpended in the treasury was
donated to the conference endow-
ment fund.
Fully one-third of the ministers
will be changed this year, and as
comparatively few changes are ex-
pected on either Dover or Salisbury
districts, it means necessarily a
great change on both Wilmington
and Easton districts. Wilmington
district changes indicated are trl-
angular interchange between Smyr-
ma, McCabe and Epworth Churches,
the Rev. G. Williams going from
Smyrna to McCabe, the Rev. j. w.
Jones from McCabe to Epworth, and
the Rev. Ransom P. Nichols from

The Rainbow Trail

William Farnum, starring in 1.-THE
Rainbow Trail,'' is the stellar attrac-
ton at the Grand Opera House to-
night. This film is replete with
tense and thrilling situations and
proves that Farnum is easily the
greatest delineator of Western types
now playing before the camera.
The story is a sequel to Riders of
the Purple Sage" but those who did
not see that picture will in no way
be at loss in viewing "The Rain
bow Trail" as the incidents in the
later production are all in separate
form.
Mr.. Farnum is again seen as Las
sitter, the feared rider of the range
and the terror of the Utah border.
Indeed, this sterling player portrays
two roles in 1.-THE Rainbow TRAIL"
that of Lassiter and Of Shefford who
searches the mountains for the girl
he loves.-Adv.

Twice year machine politicians count
gleefully upon the prospect that many

assigned carries with it the right to vote
in the mayoralty primaries. individuals
who signed up in the fall are already en-

day is for the benefit OF the laggards. Their
chronic indifference, if maintained now,
may prove exceedingly costly to the city.
The Baptists should be supported to the
limit in their insistence on full registration
as the initial practical step toward a better
