learned of the absence from the city

to him from the fact that Helen re-

In her calm way, she was looking
straight at Lexington, and he had re-

her gaze. His eyes were robbers, now
boldly taking the slender curves that
wave was coming, that would carry

The prince, as he rode along to the
head of the ravine, was a mere pale
shoot of royalty with the sun dazzling
! his eyes. He was Iong-boned, languid,
| his slanty eyes peering from beneath
white satin turban, ringed with
| pearls. The pennOn hung limp from
his lance. He was brave with knives.
His Ioose-sleeYed arms were lax, evil

| lance. He made no bow of greeting
| to his intended lady, giving her but
word of Oriental speech. Helen scarce

the sunrise. Lexington arose from
concealment and took the jeweled
] bride.
The fright of Prince YekutOi was
painful. He poured a rapid series OF
! sylIables upon the white man, who
! grinned at him and took down the
lance. Then the waxen face, shining
| in the new sun. was obscured by a
Dair of upraised hands. YekutOi dared
not face what had befallen him. He
forgot the princess. Soft means came
from behind the Powered sleeve. Lev

Con led the Ciademed mount down the
rayine to the valley floor beyond and
started the animal away to the south.
He shouted and hurled a stone. In a
panic, YekutOi's horse ran, with one
sparkling bit of color in one stirrup,
dangling. Still Helen had not changed
her position. The prince lay upon
the sand.
Lexington said to her: 'This is the
story to tell them, when you gailop
back. Your father and 1 secured
horses from large party Of white men
who came In from the south. You saw
them, a great number, all mounted.
The wind is coming up, so it can cover

moment the prince is being carried
further and further away, to the
south"
"You wish me to speak falselyF'

RF3IUM'S USE IN SURGERY

The use Of radium in hospitals Is

il is a tool and not a medicine. The
radium gives OF three rays. known as

the second will penetrate 35 millfmeters
Of lead, while the third has a vibra-

is the one used in surgery.
The rays are sent into the body,
and so powerful are they that they
can penetrate TO a great depth, and
there destroy the useless or diseased
tissue. As the good tissue has a
greater resistance than the bad, the
highly skilled operative can bear the
gamma rays on the afflicted part until
they begin to destroy the good It's

seemed that March remembered his
bride as she was eighteen years ago.
Time had not, until now. touched that
sacred portion of his life.
"And they have taken my little

Con was overwhelmed. He stretched
out his hand and found March's arm.
1t was trembling.
"We're not done for" said Leving-

March seemed not to hear. ''Helen

to see me. Perhaps that is my punish
ment for thinking Of her always as an
Infant, with a glorious mother. And
Eithna has been dead for years"
Lexington was alarmed concerning
his friend, who was slipping deeper
into dependency. He forgot his work
for the United States government, his
long labors in the name of humanity,
and all his thought conferred upon his
personal disaster. He was close to a
tragic unbalance. Lexington said
quickly:
''But Helen says her mother is not
really dead. You have yourself told
me that this life is but the camp of
one night in a long journey, that the
better air of the hills is just beyond"
Slowly March smiled, and sadly.

 SEVERAL STATES

CHICAGO, March 1. - Middle Western states are in the grip today of the worst blizzard experienced thus far this winter Snow is fall ing in large quantities in several sections and in Colorado and Ne braska low temperatures are re- ported, several towns having record ed 45 below zero.
 Communication of all kinds has been crippled by the storm. Wires are down and trains are stalled by heavy drifts, and several towns are completely isolated.
 The weather bureau issued warn ings to mariners today to be on the lookout for storms on the North Pa eific coast
 Heavy snow in New England has resulted in stalling thousands of ears and the employees of industrial plants in some localities are being used to restore traffic. The situa- tion is the worst of the kind on record in that section of the coun. try. Many plants have been com pelled to close down because of the inability of the railroads to make coal deliveries.

Denies Charges Of Cruelty
Marines Do Difficult, Dangerous and Deli

Says Naval Court Of Inquiry.

After a careful study based upon
original Information and observa-
ton in Hayti the Court regards tho
charges (made by Brig. Gen. Bar
nett that American Marines were
guilty of practically indiscrininate
killing Of natives) as an i'll eonsid-
cred. regrettabie and thoroughly un-
warranted reflection on the U. S,
Marine Corps. which has performed
difficult. dangerous and delicate duty
in a manner entitled to the highest
commendation."
The report made by the Naval
Court of Inquiry investigating con-
'ditions in Hayti was made public
by Secretary Daniels yesterday. .
Although the charges made by
Gen. Barnett are denounced tby the
board as untrue. no recommends
tions to discipline him are made and
1t Is understood that the entire mat
ter will be dropped. -
After an exhaustive Investigation
the court finds that during an oc-
cupation of more than FIVE years
only two unjustif1able homicides and
sixteen other acts of violence were
committed by Marines. All were
isolated cases and in each instance
the guilty Marine was court mar
tlaled and sentenced.
