CHAPTER xI.-continued.

It nl!ed Andrea with a premonitlon
and brought her desperate courage.
She took off her high-heeled slippers
and climbed down several rungs Of the
ladder that led to her platform; then
seating herself and getting good
knee-grlp on the limb, she leaned down
and gradually worked loose the cleat
below her. After that she took the next
above and then the next. depositing
each cleat as she removed 1t In her
room.
No sooner had she finished, leaving
herself cut off from easy access to the
outside world but in compensation
having established a substantial OBJ
stacle to sudden assault from below,
than she was aware Of the whispering,
wheezy sound of heavy breathing. I'm
mediately afterward came to her dis
tended nostrils an overpowering odor
OF gin, nauseatlngly sweet and sour at
the same time. She looked down into
the shadowy gloom and saw MacClos-
ter's bulk moving slowly upward, rung
by rung, each movement as deliberate
and repulsive as that Of giant sloth.
Gripping one OF the loosened cleats
in her right hand, she knelt on the
edge Of the platform and watched
breathlessly his progress. When he
came to the break In the ladder his
hairy paws CROPPED helplessly for mo-
ment only; then they embraced the
tree-trunk and he began to swarm up
the easy slant. waiting up for me,
de8rie?" he whispered.
Andrea suppressed an instructive
impulse to fly before his advance, all
the more terrifying because 1t was so
deliberate. Her face went white, her
eyes narrowed, but her lips set In a
straight line as she waited, trying her
best to quiet her excited breathing lest
1t betray her pitiful agitation. She
measured the distance between the
edge of the platform and those slowly
sliding hands. Only when they got SC
close that she could see the mist of
fine yellow hair on them did she strike
first at one and then at the other. and
not with the edge of the cleat, but
WITH the three JuBSeu HALLS tndt pro
truded from its fiat side.
With below of rage Manchester
snatched back his pierced hands, trust
ing to the grip Of his knees. Andrea
clutched the cleat tightly. leaned for
ward and struck him across the side
of the head with all her strength. He
lost his balance and fell. She heard
his body crashing from limb to limb
untn 1t landed with terrific thud on
some platform far below. Up from the
depths came liquid stream Of curses /;

whining with the rage that means to
kill.

the corner Of her howell. She was

was really asleep and then slipped his
arm around her and held her close.
He forgot his burns and bruises, his
fatigue and hunger; he looked back
with exultant pride upon the mael-
stron of emotions that he had ridden
to reach this haven of his souls peace.
The feverish haste with which he had
dug out the airplane and patched 1t
up, the white rage In which he had
hurled himself with 1t into.the air, the
absolute and marvellous determination
of the steady, upwavering flight that
had carried him straight to MacCios-
ter's craai, all became emblems to him
of the power OF that which is within
US to rise eternally to superhuman
heights on the wings of little love.
He glanced downward at the fair
| head pressed so close TO his shoulder
/ that the wide brim of his helmet
shaded II as well as his own and let
his eyes follow along the curled-up
length of Andrea's figure. She seemed
very small, very young, infinitely
potent. For the first time in their in
| tercourse he consciously remembered
who she was and all his bravado in the
face of false values, all his logical in
difference to established forms, fell
from him. He trembled for the things
he had done to, the murder he had
coolly committed on, the person Of the
Honorable Andrea PelfOr!
| She had said that she knew herself
safe with him forever and forever and
while he recognized the gentle mood
| that had so overburdened her tongue,

CHAPTER XIII.

Andrea did not awake until Trevor
withdrew his arm, which was when
they were already In sight of their
home landing.
BY the time she reached the camp
she was in no mood to welcome the
astonishing sight of three white men
calmly taking a siesta In Trevor's most
comfortable chairs, their helmets and
dolmans tossed aside and their short
sleeved undershirts unbuttoned at the
neck. The only thing to be discerned
in their favor was that they were oil
freshly shaven. 1t did not cheer her
to see that upon catching sight Of
them, Trevor's face cleared.
"Who are the interlopers7" she
asked shortly.
His eyebrows went up. 'Tnterlopers,
Andrea Pellor?" he asked with a
smile. Then his face turned grim.
"Will you do what l ask this timer

She stifed the feeling of rebellion

recurrence Of his fighting voice. "Yes,"
she said meekly.

leggings and all. When you have done
that, please wait till I come"
Andrea could not resist a single
shot. eyes," she said demurely, "just

Trevor ignored the hit. "Good girl"
he said, his attention already swerving
to his snoring guests.

CHAPTER XII.

The memory of that tragic moment,
strangely enough, was not to live In
Andrea's mind by reason of the sight
Of the collapse Of MacCloster's bulk,
but by what followed Immediately
after. Never could she forget the
sudden stilling of the ululuing and the
instantaneous smile, broadening to a
grin, that dawned on tie face Of every
native. n
The black ,throng backed step by
step before the terrific heat of the
flaming cnia. Their searching faces

Astounding" is a fairly conserva-
tive adjective to describe the unin-
formed state of mind shown by GER
tain officials in twelve Maine cities.
The Legislature passes a law affect
ing their duties and they are found
to be either uniformed or unmindful.
And yet there are lot of people
who want the world run by leg
islatures!
And, furthermore, the municipal
authorities referred to are no more
ignorant or unmindful Of their obli-
cations, civic and otherwise, than
people generally; simply at this par
ticular time little more conspicuous,
that's all.

folks, possibly not so much so, and

Of legislation changing requirements

And there are those who will but

their creeds that the only way in
which down trodden humanity may
survive is by legislation and then
more legislation. They neither know
what the present laws are nor what
they really would be. but they would
have railroads, telephones, telegraphs,

vote this year. Florida and Tennes-
see are said to be favorable to ratifi-
cation but they have laws that cleo
tons must intervene between the sub
mission Of an amendment and action
on it by the legislature. North Car
olina is somewhat uncertain but is
in the midst Of the states which have
refused to ratify. and Louisiana and
Delaware are not expected to be ia
vorable.-
Some suffrage leaders and promi-
nent men Of the Republican party
are predicting that the amendment
will be incorporated as a part Of the
Constitution by the first Of March.
Others see the hope of the women
deferred until the presidential cleo
ton of 1924. 1t hardly seems rea
sonable that the opposition of the few
suffrage governors will con
tinue to stand in the way Of the wish
Of the majority Of American women
and good proportion of the men.

Finishing the Ratification

Thirty-two states have ratified the
suffrage amendment and perhaps be-
fore this sees the light the thirty
third, Oklahoma, whose legislature is
now meeting in special session, will
have ratified. A special session of the
legislature Of West Virginia is called
for Feb. q and ratification is thought
to be a certainty. There will then
be needed only two more states to
make up the necessary two-thirds re-
CURED to validate the amendment as
a part Of the Constitution.
Eight states remain from which the
two must be chosen: Vermont, Con-
necticut, Florida, Delaware, Tonnes
see. louisiana, North Carolina and
Washington. OF these states YER
mont. Connecticut and Washington
are ready to ratify II special sessions
are called. The governors Of the two
New England states are anti-suf-
fragists and have so far steadily re-
fused to call the sessions. The gov
ernor Of Washington has asserted his
willingness to call q special session
il the vote Of his state is needed to
complete ratification. but the posi-
bility Of submitting a host Of other
matters for legislative action has
prevented him from issuing the call.
1t seems certain that the vote of
Washington, the last Of the suffrage
states to take action. will be needed
and It's vote IL assured.
It has been foreseen that the last
state win be the hardest to win and
unless the objections Of the Vermont
and Connecticut governors can be re-
moved the women may not be able to

FATIGUE IS GREAT
BEAUTY DESTROYER

Thin blooded people experience a
form Of fatigue which robs them OF
strength to get about and deprives
them Of restful sleep. This fatigue is
not to be. confused with the healthy
reaction which follows day Of work
and is relieved by sound slumber.
The fatigue which accompanies an
anemic or thin blooded condition
robs women Of beauty for it causes
their color to fade and leave the face
haggard and drawn. In addition to
the feeling Of exhaustion there is
generally nervousness. headache,
stomach trouble and dizziness.

An Honest Effort.

The attempt to link farmers and

fattened out, but We notice that

railroad measure on the ground that
it will raise rates. What do they
want? To tax everyone and leave

the roads must be borne and it is but
fair that the traffic should bear it,
also q reasonable return on the CAPT.

The opposition of the railroad en-
ployes is to be expected. because We
have become accustomed to their de-
mands and have been informed that
, they favor government control
through the Plumb or some other
soviet arrangement that may yield
them all the juice of the orange.
Just what features they now object
to seem to be little out Of focus
, From what we have been able to
