barred Andrea's forearm, rubbed it with
alcohol and quickly gave her an in
lection. "Skip the next five minutes, !"
he said. "Fasten your mind to five
minutes from now" She only moaned
to show that she heard him.
But even before the five minutes
were up she could feel peace coming
to her body slowly and from far away,
as though it feared to pounce upon her
suddenly. When it settled upon her it
brought with it drowsy and ineffable
relief. Her eyes could move once more
in their sockets. They followed the
white man as he made his rapid prep
aration for long siege. She heard
him call Bathtub and issue a string
Of orders; then he brought q chair
close to the cot and sat down.
"Andrea," he said quietly, "we're up
against it, you and I. I can't say just
what it is. It may be ptOmaine. you
may have been sickening for appen-
dicitis, but I'm almost afraid it isn't
either Of those. If it's fever, It is per-
nicious." Her eyes stared at him,
hung upon his face.
He took one Of her hands in his.
I'm breaking all the rules by fright
ening you," he went on, "and 1 do 1T
purposely. I do it because I've learned
that you and I are brothers in one
thing. We're fighters. All the blood
in our veins flows one way-up hill to
battle. We don't know when to quit.
No D. fever can show us where to
get off. It's going to be shoulder to
shoulder, and If you 60 back on me
I'll go back on God, for trust you as
I've never trusted any living thing"
Her hands twisted in his and gripped
his fingers. you're great, White
Man." she said softly. you're like
that-a fghter-and it's sweet of you
to ring me in. No D. fever can
show you-no D." She crumpled
up and cried.
Good for you" said Msungo
promptly, 'cry now. Il can't do you a
bit Of harm and 1t will probably put
you to sleep. But when you wake, If
you want to cry then, please come up
crying mad and ready to set your teeth
in the throat Of pain. For he'll have
you,' Riddle, he'll have you in half
Nelson and can't always stick him
with the needle"
It was even as he said. All day and
all night the battle ragged, and there
were moments when Andrea forgot
that she was Aghter, begged with
gasping, heartrending means for opium
and relief, and when he refused, her
tongue turned bitter, sharp as ser
|pent's tooth. Each word she said was

CHAPTER VlIl.-Continued.

She decided to cry little more and
found she couldn't. Tears had With
drawn before an Intellectual rage. Her
face hardened. Well, If she couldn't
cry, something must happen; if not on
It's own, then it must be forced. She
wondered what the white man was
doing. Perhaps he was sound asleep;
perhaps he was even snoring! what
did she know about this man, anyway!
Was he human? Had he live points Of
contact or was he an impalpable crea-
ton Of her sick brain? Perhaps she
wasn't here at all! If she screamed,

Or Her eyes, following the sequence
Of her thoughts, fell upon the barred
door.
She arose, put on her slippers and
her bathrobe, walked, deliberately to
the door, grasped the bar with two
trembling hands and threw It up with
all her strength. The clang Of the far
away gong rang out above the din of
the droning rain. Following 1t instant
~ came the thud Of falling chair.
The door, released, swung slowly open
with q long-drawn creak of unoiled
hinges. Andrea was suddenly fright
ened.
Coming through the covered way
she. could hear the swift crush Of hur-
rying steps. M'sungo, fully dressed,
shot into the center Of her room and
whirled. In his hands, held at the hip,
finger on trigger, was a villainous
sawed-off shotgun. Only his long train
Ing to look twice before he fired saved
Andrea when his eyes brought him the
startling conviction that besides him.

came toward Ter with swift sure
strides. For an instant his eyes
wavered but as he drew nearer they

pinned against the wall.
She felt herself struggling as against

trembling hands, her heart beat with
great irregular throbs. A lump rose
In her throat and it seemed as though

asked.
"Thirty-four, normally" he an
swered instantly, and went on with his
absorbing reading almost without a
break.
Andrea fell silent, even her thoughts
stopped talking. Gradually the flow
ing voice possessed her, picked her up
lightly, bore her away and away. In
other words, she slept as children
sleep when put to bed in the good old
way.
When she awoke, hours later, the
room was heavy with the acrid smell
of lanterns burned too low, but to
make up for that, the rain had ceased
and sunlight poured in through the
open door. M'sungo was sitting as he
had sat, reading as he had been read
ing. The flow of his voice was ex-
actly the same as though he himself
had been caught in a current that
would not let him stop.
Andrea drew quivering breath.
She saw instinctively the workings Of
his mind. he wished her to awake
without awaking-t0 come to the new
day with the selfsame smile In her
heart that had been there when she
slept. He called upon her to play the
game through and she decided to do
it. She stretched her bare arms,
yawned, rubbed her eyes with doubled
fists, laughed and then threw out both
hands to him.
'''Take me back" she said.
The book fell from his hands. He
turned and stared at her with the
hungry eyes Of a man who sees for the
first time one Of the rarest Of Gods
creatures a woman whose
youth stands by her in the disheveled
morning, defies the ugly finger of
gross slumber and proclaims her love.

gaze wavered as though before too
strong light, then it steadied and his
face grew stern. He arose.
"Come on" he said.

he picked her up, sarong and oil, and
passed solemnly the length Of the COW
cred way. he could feel her face
pressed hard against his shoulder and
her loosened hair was like a cloud
beneath his chin. Her arms chung to
him tightly, her body trembled, her
eyes twinkled and her lips murmured
audibly, Remember, Andrea Pellor
you're just kiddie."
He dropped her on her cot with q
thud that surprised the six straddline
legs of that sturdy campaigner into
stringent protest and incidentally
startled one young lady.
"There you are, you little devil" he
growled and strobe from the room
with the satisfied air Of dog who has
just carried home eight pounds OF
prime roast intact.
Andrea watched him 60, then she
arose, took the cord from her bath
robe and advanced upon the door to
the covered way. She closed 1t, let
down the bar and with the cord bound
it in place. She tied knot after hard
knot, and as she drew each one OF
them tight she said, "Just to give you
time to think twice, Andrea Pellor."

had just completed term in Jail.
This is the sort of thing the boys
and girls, from fifteen to twenty five,
are up against. They are human and
young and they must have some sort of
good time. And with all this in
mind, am convinced that the only way
to combat the vile surroundings of these
young people is to substitute interesting
and wholesome amusement for the sort
of debauchery they are getting.
''As the first move in a campaign to
this end j am going to open a summer
camp that will accommodate fifty or
sixty of these boys and girls on alternate
weeks all through the summer. The
place l expect to open is at Stone Har-
Dor, n. J. There we can give these boys
and girls a taste of decent. wholesome
living and fun of the proper sort. II
will give them chance to get away
from their old backgrounds and learn
few angles of their lives they never
knew existed before. have enough
money to start this camp. but the whole
enterprise will require $4,000.

that place of that sort will have the
attendance and support of any number
of the young people of the section. who

Berlin, June .S.-Reports from nesr,,

loting for members Of the new Reicbst,,
in Sundays elections received up IN =,
o'clock last night showed that the Mo.
jority Socialists, Ccntrists and Demo.
Gratis, the parties making up the cosp.
tion bloc back of the present govern.
ment. had elected 1853 deputies.
The main parties Of the conservative,
opposition, these figures showed, had
elected SO members, while the main
party of the left. the Independent So.
cialists, had elected 81 members. Addsd
to these, 206 votes of the princinai
parties were AZ classed as "scatterine !,
The seats won by the various parties
so far as the still incomplete return,
show. were divided as follows:
Majority Socialists fright ving). 81
Independent Socialists (left winrj,
German Peoples party (old Libcrop
Centrists (Catholics), 43.
Democrats (bourgeoisie), 27.

There are indications that the ecsli.
tion bloc will emerge from the election
with a slight majority in the new
Reichstag, but 1t will be one hardly
usable for practical working purposes
Returns from the provinces show
the Majority Socialists are overcoming
the heavy lead scored by the Ipde'
pendent Socialists in Berlin and other
metropolitan centers. The Democrats
continue TO fall behind the other coali.

party the exact proportional represen- :

The count so far reveals q smaller turn :

as a result the new Reichstag probably
will contain only about 400 deputies.
The government today rendered It's

quested 1t to remain in Office provision

CALLS DEAD WOMAN ELOPER
Mrs. George. Smith Says Husband
Was infatuated With River Victim

Lancaster. Pa. June S.--Rivernen
last night found the body Of the woman
said to be Mrs. George Smith, who was
drowned Thursday when a boat. in
which she and her husband were riding,
capsized at Culley's Falls in the Susque-
hanna river near HOLLYWOOD.
The body was found at Face Rock,
more than mile below HOLLYWOOD.
Aldus Erb, deputy coroner, conducted
an investigation and decided the drown
ing was accidental. Nothing has been
seen of Smith since the accident.
A new angle is added to the mystery
by another Mrs. George Smith, who
gave her address as Chester. who ar
rived at Port Deposit on a private in
vestigation tour. She claimed Smith
had eloped with the drowned woman and
that his plans were upset by the acci-
dent. She left her address with the
authorities and begged to be notified
when his body was found.
The police of Chester say they have
no report Of man named Smith having
disappeared.
