CHAPTER XXI
News of Stewart,

Blinded, like a Wild creature, Made
line Hammond ran to her room. She
felt as If a stroke Of lightning had
shattered the shadowy substance of
the dream she had made of real life.
The wonder Of Danny Mains story,
the strange regret with which she had
realized her injustice to Stewart, the
astounding secret as revealed by Padre
Marcos-these were forgotten In the
sudden consciousness of her own love.
She liberated the thought that knocked
at the gates of her mind. With quiv-
ering lips she whispered it. Then she
spoke aloud:
81 will say it-hear it. II love

In nature like hers, where strength
of feeling had long beck inhibited as
a matter Of training such a trans
forming surprise as sudden conscious
ness Of passionate love required time
for it's awakening, time for its sway.
BY and by that last enlightening mo-
ment come, and Madeline Hammond
faced not only the love in her heart,
but the thought Of the man she loved
Suddenly, as she ragged, something
in her-this dauntless new personality
took arms against indictment Of
Gene Stewart. Her mind whirled about
him and his life. She saw him drunk,
brutal; she saw him abandoned, lost.
Then out of the picture she had of
him thus slowly grew one of differ
ent man-weak. sick, changed by
shock, growing strong, strangely, spir-
itually altered, silent, lonely like an
eagle, secretive, tireless, faithful soft
as woman, hard as iron to endure,
and at the last noble.
"Oh, 1t Is all terribler' she cried. 81
am his wife. His wife! That meet
ing with him-the marriage his
fall, his love, ris rise, his silence, his
pridei And / can never be anything
to him. Could be anything to him?
I. Madeline Hammond? But I am his
wife, and love him! His wife! 1
am the wife of a cowboy! That might
be undone. Can my love be undone?
All, do 1 want anything undone? He
is gone. Cone Could he have meant
I will not, dare not think Of that. He
will come back. No, he never will come
back. Oh, what shall 1 do?"
And on the morning Of the next day,
when Madeline went out upon the
porch, Stillwell, haggard and stern,
with husky, incoherent word, handed
her message from Ell Cajon. She
read:

Suddenly she became weak and her
hands failed Of their accustomed
dizziness. 1t took her what seemed
thousand years to dress. Breakfast
meant nothing to her except that it
helped her to pass dragging minutes.
Finally low hum, mounting swift
ly to roar and ending with a sharp
report, announced the arrival Of the
car. If her feet had kept pace with
her heart she would have raced out to

The Woman Who Loves.

AS an old student of life, l should
say the most beautiful and helpful
thing in it is the respect, confidence
and love Of an agreeable woman. And
beg you men who enjoy this blessing
not to throw it away heedlessIy. A
woman who loves you is entitled to
fair treatment; and many devoted
women do not get it. A just master
longest retains his power If there is
anyone entitled to justice, to gentle
ness and appreciation, from man, il
is the woman who devotedly loves him.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright, 1928.
MOSCOW, August 29.-The gathered
harvest has been followed by crop
Of war rumors here. Many insist that
the temper of the Poles presents a
real danger.
The writer has inquired closely into
this possible Polish danger, in Poland
itself. The government there strong
ly denies any aggressive tendencies,
dismissing such tales as moonshine.
Foreign diplomats generally express
confidence in TIE sincerity of this
declaration.
The writer found, however, that
there was strong sentiment among
d considerable portion OF the popu-
la ation favoring the Polish occupa-
tion of Danzig. The Danzig people
apparently feel that Germany's pos
sible collapse presents an oppor,
to pass. They count confidently on
the support of France.
The jingoes dream Of Danzig trans
formed into a Gibraltar of the north,
domination of the Baltic. A conSid-
erable section of the industrialist
class. which usually Is against fight
ing. now declares that the present
conditions in Danzig are insupport-
able. AntaRonism Of the German and
Polish elements there blocks every
thing. hinders port traffic at every
turn and paralyZes Polish business.
Something. they say. must be done
Poland should assert her authority.
Russia almost certainly would re-
gard any Polish advance in this di-
rection in the gravest possible light.
II is the writer's conviction that the
Polish government is sufficiently
strong to resist public pressure.
