and Erskine's heart again turned
sick.
As the dusk gathered that eve
ning, Erskine, looking gloomily
through his window, saw Barbara
past the box-edge and down the
path. A moment later he saw the
tall form OF Colone! Dale follow her.
On the thick turf the colonels feet

bara stopped at the sun-dial he too
paused.
Little grip he called, and no
lovers voice could have been more
gentle. Come herep'
She turned and saw him, the low
moon lighting all the tenderness in
his fine old face, and she flew to
him. In wise silence he stroked her
hair until she grew little calmer.

ter?"

Erskine's last night She looked
up, brushing away her tears.

colonel!
She took her fathers arm, and
when they reached the steps Erskine
saw her smiling. And smiling, al
most gay, she was at supper, sit
ting with exquisite dignity in her
mothers place. Harry and Hugh
looked amazed, and her father, who
knew the bit of tempered steel she
was, smiled his encouragement
proudly. Of Erskine who sat at ner
right she asked many questions
about the coming campaign.
After supper the little lady ex-
cused herself with a smiling cour-
tesy to go to her mother. Erskine
found himself IN the moonlight on
the big poa'tieo with Colonel Dale
alone. a -

Barbara, reappearihg, heard their
last words, and she came forward
pale and with piercing eyes:

ogize to you for my little faith. Mr..

at once. wish you safe journey

Erskine was on the porch when
Grey came out to mount his horse.
You will want seconds?" asked
Grey.

Erskine bowed.
Il shall not"

Within half AN hour Barbara pass
ing through the hall, saw that the 'ra-
piers were gone from the wall and
she stopped, with the color fled from
her face and her hand on her heart.
In few moments she had found
Harry and Hugh. Even while their
horses were being saddled her father
rode up. as.
IT'S murder cried Harry, "and
Grey knows it. Erskine knows
nothing about a srapier."
Without a. word Colonel Dale
wheeled his tired horse and soon
Harry and Hugh dashed after him.
Barbara walked back to the house,
wrlnging her hands, but on the
porch she sat quietly in the agony
OF waiting that was the role of wo-
men in those days.
Meanwhile, FREELY was skimming
along the river road. Grey had kept
his word. He was waiting between
two plantations.
They hitched their horses, and
Erskine followed into pleasant
slade-va grassy glade through which
hlurmured a little stream. Erskine
dropped the rapiers on the sward.
Take your choice," he said.

said.
| Ready answered Grey, and
lunged.
Efskine merely whipped at his
blaze and sprang backward. He
was as quick as an eyelash and 1.-the
as panther, and yet Grey almost
laughed aloud.
Ali Erskine did was to whip the
thrusting blade aside and leap out
of danger like flash of light. 1t
was like an expert boxef failing
according to rules unknown - and
Grey's face famed and actually
turned anxious.
Then, Erskine blade caught in
Grey's guard by accident, and the
powerful wrist behind it seeking
merely to wrench the weapon loose
tore Grey's rapier from his grasp
and hurled it ten feet away. With
his swords point on the earth, he
waited courteously for Grey to re-
cover his weapon.
AS Grey rushed for his sword,
ETskine heard the beat of horses
hoofs. He snatched it from the
ground and turned, and as he rushed
for Erskine, Colonel Dale swung
from his horse. The sword-blades
clashed = and Colonel Dale had Frs
kline by the wrist and was between
them.
How dare you, sir?" cried Grey
hotly.
"Just moment" repeated the
colonel sternly. "Mr. Grey, do you
think it quite fair that you with
your skill should fight a man who
knows nothing about foils?'
"There was no other way" Grey
said sullenly.
''Your country is at war. She
needs every man for her defense.
Do you not both think your lives
belong to your country"

it is not true, / am willing to ex-

"That is BETTER" said Colonel Dale
heartily, and he turned to Erskine,
but Erskine was crying hotly;
"And / express neither"
AS they rode back Colonel Dale
spoke of the war. 1t was about to
move into Virginia, he said, and
when it did Both Harry and
Hugh interrupted him with a glad

SHEEPNlEkl TO GET
 BETTER RATES ON WOOL

The following letter received by Hugh F.. Campbell from T. A. Jones of the firm of Jones, Blaine X Jones, Phoenix, promises some relief to wool growers of Arizona:
 "We are just in receipt of a decis- ion of the Interstate Commerce Com mission in the matter of wool rates from Arizona related to rates from California which was the subject of a hearing in Los Angeles in August, 1921, where you testified for the wool growers of the state.
 "rhe commission by order requires the railroads to make effective not later than February 10th, 1923, the from California. You will recall at the hearing that the rate on wool in sacks in grease was about $3.3& from Arizona and &l.5O from Los Angeles to Boston. While it is left optional for the railroads to make the read iuStmcnt putting California and Ari- EOna on the same basis, which might be done by increasing the California rate, l dO not believe that they will attempt to do this as that would force all of the wool shipments to move by water from nearby coast points. What they will dc, Of course, is speculative at this time, but in my opinion they will decrease the Arizona rates and also make some increase from Cali fornia. The decision is very impor- tant, as it puts wool growers in Ari- zona on q parity with those in Cali folnia near the coast and I believe will result in substantial reductions from AriZora.'
