"Ba'tiste! What do you meant"
my Julienne," came hoarsely
Get is my Julienne'sw
Already they were in the sled, the
wolf-dog perched between them, and
hurrying along the mushy road. Two
miles they went, the horses urged to
their greatest speed.
At last came the little clearing
and the cabin. Ba'tiste already was
within.
Houston entered and dropped be-
side the older man, already dragging
forth the drawers of the bureau and
paving excitedly among the trinkets
there. A watch, ring, and locket
with curly strand of baby hair.
The giant sobbed.
MY Pierre-eet was my PierreW
What's that? Houston had
raised suddenly, was staring in the
direction Of an old commode in the
corner. At the door the wolf-dog
shifted and snarled. Ba'tiste, bend
ing among the lost trinkets that once
had been his wife's, did not hear.
Houston grasped him by the Shout
der and shook him excitedly.
"Ba'tiste! Ba'tiste! There's some
one hiding-over there in the cor
ner. | heard sounds-look at Cole

Hiding? No. There is no one
here-no one but Ba'tiste and his
memories. No one"
81 tell you | heard someone. The
commode moved. known
He rose, only to suddenly veer and
flatten himself against the wall. The
yellow blaze of aimless revolver fire
had spurted from the corner; then
the plunging form of gnarled,
gangling, lintping man, who rushed
past Houston to the door, swerved
there, and once more raised the re-
volver. But he did not fire.
A furry, snarling thing had leaped
at him, knocking the revolver from
his hand in its plunging ascent.
Then cry-a gurgling growl. Teeth
had clenched at the throat of the
man; togethed they rolled through
the door to the snow without, Cole
mar, his hold broken by the fall,
| striving again for the death clutch,
the man screaming in sudden frantic
fear.
Take him off" The voice of the
thin-visaged Fred ThayI was shrill
now. take him off-Tll tell you
about it-she did it-she did it! Take
him off,!
Coleman" Ba'tiste had appeared
in the doorway. Below the dog
whirled in obedience to his command
and edged back, teeth still barred,
eyes viligant, waiting for the first
movement of the man on the ground.
Houston went forward and stood
peering down at the frightened, hud-
died form of Thayer, wiping the
blood from the fang wound in his
neck
You'll tell about what?" came
with sudden incisiveness.
The man stared, suddenly aware
that he had spoken of thing that
had been mentioned by neither Ba'-
tlste nor Houston. His lips worked
crookedly. He tried to smile, but il
ended only in misshapen snarl.
L thought you fellows were look
ing for something. I-I-wanted to
get the dog off"
We were. We've found it. Ba'.

tlgerish form of the big French.

I'm afraid to trust you right now.
And don't turn back. Do you prom
ise?"
The big hands worked conclusive
ly. The eyes took on a newer. fierce1
glare.
With an effort the Canadian
obeyed, the wolf-dog trotting beside

locked about the buckle of the thin.

J the storm. Then | had to be at

THAT was your child, then?"
Fred Thayer was silent. Barry
Houston repeated the question com
mandingly. -.
Whose would you think it was?
They reached the sled, and Ba 'tiste
pointed to the seat.
I'm there" he ordered. "Ba'teese
will walk. Ba'teese afraid-toc
close" And then, in silence, the trip
to town was made, at last to draw up
in front of the boarding house. Hous-
ton called to bystander.
"Phone the sheriff we want him.
1t has to do with the Renaud muir
der"
The loafer sprang to the street
and veered across, shouting the news
as he went, while Ba7tiste made hur-
ried arrangements regarding the
silent form of the lonely cabin. A
few moments later, the makeshift
boarding house lobby was crowded,
while Barry Houston, reverting to
the bitter lessons he had learned
during the days of his own cross-ex-
aminations, took his place in front
of the accused man.
"In the first place, Thayer," he
commanded. you might as well
know one thing. You're caught. The
goods are on you"
II don't know anything about it.
She told me she did it-that those
were Mrs. Renaud's things"
"Ah! Then you have new seen that
ring, which my Julienne, she wore
on her finger. All, no?"
Thus the battle progressed, Ba'-
tiste storming, the frowing, sullen
captive in the chair replying in mono
syllables, or refusing to answer at all.
The afternoon grew old. The
sheriff arrived-and still the contest
went on. Then, with a sudden break
of reserve, Thayer leaned forward
and rubbed his gnarled hands, one
against the other.
"All right" he snapped. Have it
your way. No use in trying to lay
1t on the woman-you could prove an
alibi for her. You're right. I kill
ed them both"

AMERICA
TO EXPLAIN
ATTITUDE:
New Series of Diplomatic Ex-
changes Will EIuCidate
U.S.. Position
~ GEORGE r HOLMES

lSiAFF CORRESPONDENT l. N. ORWELL
WASHINGTON. March ia new
series of diplomatic exchanges which
will speak the American attitude to-
ward European affairs with more Wig
or than anything that has gone before
is about to open up result of the
Allied governments splitting a billion
gold marks between themselves and
ignoring Americas claim for reim-
bursement for the American army of
occupation.
High administration officials stated
today that strong representation"
viii be made in the matter if the. Of
fetal report from Roland w. Boyden.
tho American representative on rho
separations commission. confirms the
titude OF the Allies that has been re-
ported in press dispatches. This at
titude apparently is. officials said. that
America can walt. or If not caring to
wait. can proceed to collect from inn
poverished Germany direct
II is the evident intention of the Al
lied governments. as seen by officials
here. to deny that the United States
has any rights at all under the treaty
of Versailles. because the senate failed
to ratify the pact.
This position is untenable according
to administration officials. because
Europe has already tacitly admitted
American rights under the treaty in
the case of the inundated islands. 1t
was American insistence upon these
rights that resulted in the recognition
OF an American claim on the Island of
zap. subsequently resulting in the
zap treaty
While administration officials have
frequently been rifle" over European
affairs In the last year. nothing has
aroused their ire as the perfunctory
rundown accorded the American de-
mand for a share of Germany's in
demnity to meet the Rhine costs.
Absurd" ridiculous" unbelievable"
and incredible" are some Of the terms
officially applied to the Allied attitude
Thus far because the treaty fight in
the senate has been demanding para
mount attention. the matter has not
been made the subject OF comment in
congress. That it is not escaping con-
sressioual notice. however. is seen in
the fact that the army bill just report
ed out. recommended that the Ameri-
can forces on the Rhine be reduced to
500 men.
The impression prevails in some
quarters that Allied pique over the
summary refusal OF the United States
to engage in Genoa economic confer
ence Is in some measure responsible
for the rebuff to the American claim.

How Much
Do You Get?

That is the question, no matter
whether you are day laborer, sal
aried man, fruit grower, poultry
man, wheat farmer, spud king,
business man or stock man. How
much do you get?
We can say without fear of
contradiction that at this time
you are not getting any more
than you can use. Use it to the
best of your advantage watch it
carefully-pay cash for what you
buy, hand your dollar to the firm
who appreciates it most and re-
ciprocate by giving you a dollars
worth for it. By paying cash you
are obligated to no one firm. Pick
out the firm you like to deal with
and trade withthem because you
enjoy their way of doing bust
ness. Then and not until then,
will you really know just what
it means to be a satisfied custo-
mer.

'SM0OT INSISTS
ALL COUNTRIES

Necessary Until Debtor Ma
tons Are Back at Work.

Senator Reed Smoot. member of
the Allied Debt Refunding Commits
sion. is not In favor Of cancellation
Of any part OF the loans made by
this Government to its associates In
the war. The loans aggregate more
than .11 zoo. 100000.
Every dollar ought to be paid"
he said.
When ought the countries CON-
mence TO pay?" was asked.
Just as soon as they can get 70
work, was his answer. THE country
nearest that point today Is Ger
many"
Shoots views are particularly
significant because Of unofficial re-
ports from France, that France Is
not able to pay her debt to America
and probably never will be able to
pay.
with me-" continued Smoot, 1T
is not a question OF whether we can
collect the money. OF course we can
force the money out OF England, we
can make France and some Of the
other countries pay. The question is
whether II is for the best interests
Of the United States to do It. It
might prove to be the very worst
thing for the United States.
III the interest was paid to the
United States today by all the
countries we should see the French
franc and the pound sterling drop.
We would be left high and dry as
far as reaching any OF the markets
OF the world is concerned until the
situa ton dropped back to a normal
! condition, and that would take
years"
Just as soon as the peoples Of the
world get back to work and get to
producing. then there is no question
that the exchanges can be adjusted:
and not only would / demand that
all the interest be paid. but ! would
demand part Of the obligation. But
so long as the world is in the shape
that it is in today, I would say II Is
commercial impossibility.
Whatever payment can be made
should be made and we should col
iect all we can up to the point that
does not interfere with the ex-
changes OF the world"
