Attending National Convention
at San Francisco.

When San Francisco opens it's gates
to the 10000 members Of the Amer
lean Legion expected to be present at
the fifth annual convention, some Of
the nations prettiest girls will be
ready to show the "dOughboy" and
''gob" visitors about the city. An Of
fetal committee, composed of the
city's society matrons and debutantes,
has been named to work in conjunc-
ton with the convention committee
and will act as hostesses to sponsor
the many affairs to be held for the
men and women who will attend the

CHAPTER Ill
The Coming of the Judge.


Assured that the way was clear,
Deborah made a quick passage across
the open space, a dim, ghostly figure
fleeing through the night, and sue
ceeded in obtaining entrance at the
side door without being observed.
First Of all she must safely conceal
the weapon she had stolen, which was
too large and cumbersome to be car
ried upon her person. Her own room
at the end Of the hall, small, but
neatly furnished, gave the greatest
promise Of security, and she felt de-
cided sense of relief when she finally
thrust the weapon under various ar
ticles at the bottom of a bureau
drawer. 1t was there, ready at hand,
if an emergency arose, while she felt
fully prepared to make use of it. The
conversation just overheard had
strengthened her resolve to defend
herself at all hazards.
Certain that nothing further would
occur until after the arrival of the
expected guests from Nogales, she
stole into the room occupied by her
patient, relieved to find Mrs. Meager
sleeping soundly. Locking the door,
she sat down wearily at the window,
which was slightly open, peering anx-
fously out into the night, the cool eve
ming air of the desert caressing her
hot cheeks.
Another day? What would it bring
20 10 cd IN DoI
death? or would she be a fugitive,
with the stain of murder on her soul?
She shuddered, the blood seeming to
stop circulating in her veins, as these
questions brought home so nakedly
the situation. 1t must be one Of the
three; there was no alternative. The
fellow was fully capable of this in
fanny. He was but repeating an old
offense Somewhere, down below those
mountains that marked the boundary
line, a girl of another race had met
this same fate now confronting her,
and was paying the price.
Well, she would never pay 1t, or If
she must, then she would choose her.
self what that price should be- She
felt at that moment that she could
kill the brute as she would a mad
dog. 1t was duty, privilege. Again
and again her mind swept about the
unbroken circle; the chain binding
her was complete; she could turn no
where for help; she was absolutely a
prisoner. The revolver hidden away
in that bureau drawer alone promised
protection. There were tears in her
eyes, but not tears Of weakness or
of pity; her lips were firmly set, and
her hands clasping the window sill
were steady with determination. She
had made up her mind.

MANY POSTS SEEK TROPHIES
Leqion Organizations Display Great
Interest in Honors to Be Award
ed at National Meeting.

Competition for membership is keen
among departments of the American
Legion this year, due to the plan to
present national trophies and awards
to the departments making the best
showings before the fifth annual ma
tional convention in San Francisco
this fall.
Legionnaires will strive for two
principal trophies-the Hanford Mac
Nider and the Franklin DOlier tro-
phies. The department that has the
highest percentage Of members as COM
pared with the membership total for
the year 1922 will win the MacNider
cup, which is presented by the Iowa
department. The Georgia department
won this cup at the New Orleans con-
vention and is leading in the race this
year.
The D'Olier trophy has not yet been
awarded, as 1t was first announced at
the New Orleans convention. The de-
partment obtaining as members the
highest percentage of eligible ex-serv-
ice men in the state will receive this
trophy, the gift of the Pennsylvania
department.
The trophies will not remain the
permanent property Of departments
but must be turned over each year.
gold plate will be awarded to each
department winning a trophy. This
will be suitable to be attached to the
departments banner, which will bear
an inscription reciting the honor won.
There will be presented each year a
silver one hundred per cent member
ship honor plate to each department

8. The Summarizing of Contents.
The following is suggestive:
Lesson I. John the Baptist was a
humble and courageous man. He did
not take honor to himself nor trim his
message to suit the crowd.
Lesson II. Mary should not be wor-
SHIPPED, but she is worthy Of great
honor Her faith made her to ac-
quiesce in the Lords will in spite of
the fact that she knew that her char
acter would be suspected.
Lesson III. Peter, while being tickle
and cowardly, is a fine example Of
the Transforming power of Gods grace.
Lesson ". John the apostle was
reticent man. He did not say much
about himself, but was passionately
in love with his Lord.
Lesson V. Matthew, though hum
bic, was a man of force Of character
and decision. He left all and followed
Jesus.
Lesson VI. Mary Magdalene, be-
cause she was saved, was steadfast in
her devotion to the Lord. Because of
this, she was able to tell the good
news of the resurrection to the dis
cOuraged disciples.
Lesson VII. Mary and Martha both
loved the Lord. Martha was mistaken
as to the best way to please Him.
Mary chose the good part in fellow
ship with her Lord which has made
her name immortal.
Lesson VIII. Stephen was so COM
pletely filed with Christ that his face
shone as the face of an angel.
Lesson * Barnabas was a good
man and filed with the Holy Ghost.
Therefore, he was qualified as lead
er of men.
Lesson X. Panl's knowledge of
Jesus was so real that he had as his
supreme aim to magnify Him.
Lesson XI. Mark, though having
turned back from the work, was re-
stored and became a great and hon
ored minister of Christ.
Lesson XII. Luke, the skilled and
popular physician, gave himself up to
be the attendant of the missionary of
the cross.
Lesson XIII. Because of Timothy's
religious training, he became a worthy
minister of the gospel.
