THE FIRE OF DRIFT-WOOD
MARA O'NcW

We sat within the farm house old.
Whose windows looking DER the bay. .-
Gave to the breeze damp and cold
An easy entrance, night and day.
Not far away we saw the port.
The strange. old-fashioned. silent town,
The lighthouse, the dismanted fort,
The wooden houses, quaint and brown.
We sat and talked until the night.
Descending, filled the little ROOM
Our faces faded from the sight
Our voices only broke the gloom.
We spake of many vanished scene,
OF what we once had thought and said,
OF what had been, and might have been.
And who was changed, and who was dead;
And all that fills the heart of friends.
When first they feel, with secret pain.
Their lives thenceforth have separate ends,
And never be one again.
The first slight swervng of the heart,
That words powerless to express,
And leave it still unsaid in part,
Or say it in too great excess
The very tones in which we spake
Had something strange. / could but mark;
The leaves of memory seemed to make
\ mOurnful rustling in the dark.
Oft died the words upon our lips.
As suddenly from out the fire
RuiIt az the wreck Of stranded ships.
The flames would leap and then expire
And. as their splendor flashed and failed
We thought of wrecks upon the main,
or ships dSmastcd that were hailed
And sent no answer back again.
The windows. rafting in their frames.
The ocean, roaring up the beach,
The gusty blast the pickering famsS,
All mingled vaguely in our speech;
Until they made themselves part
OF fancies floating through the brain,
The long-lost ventures of the heart.
That send no answers back again.
o flames that glowed! o hearts that yearned!
They were indeed too much akin.
The drft-wOod fire without that burned,
The thoughts that burned and glowed within
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

She nestled closer to him, her fin
gers stroking his checks carressingly.
He will not come" she said. Il
don't think l want him to come.
would rather stop like this, for then
l shall always have you. Out in the
great world again-I should lose you
fOrever!'
He took her by both shoulders and
held her away from him. forcing her
to look into his eyes.
"Never ON your life, Suey-Koo," he
cried.
Almost at his side, the door flew
open with surprising suddenness, re-
vealing two struggling forms beyond.
From tall man in suit of greasy
black, the words raped out like q
command:
"Brabazon, get that girl out, quick
ly! No you don't, you yellow swine J"
This to the ponderous Oriental who
strOve to wrench himself free from
grip that had fastened on him like a
vice. "There's a pistol in my left
pocket. Can you get it? Keep them
off for a couple of ticks-and I'm
with you !"
With Herculean effort, Penning-
ton sent Chai-Hung headlong into the
chamber of death-and deliberately
closed the door on him, the door
that could not b, opened from out
side.
Brabazon, still keeping Suey-Koo
behind him, shot the first man that
staggered into view. The half-dozcn
who followed trippcd over his body
and Pennington knocked out the
light.
Once more beyond tie pallisade,
the din Of conflict still in their ears,
Pennington turned to his friend.
"Youn DON'T mean to tell me you've
brought the girl?" he demanded,
grinning broadly.
you bet your life have s,torted
Brabazon. whats more, I'm going
to keep her."
Pennington looked from Brahazon
to Suey-Koo and from Suey-Koo 10
the stars.
"There's a boat leave for Singa-
pore tomorrow" he said slowly. "It's
a bit healthier over there than. here.
and I'll give you chit to Teller

SET AIR EXHIBIT DATE
Great Review Will Be Held Sunday
November IS.

Sunday, November IS, has been
selected as the date for big aerial
exhibition to be given at Kelly Field
for the benefit of the Army Relief
Fund. Lieut.. Col. John II. Howard,
commander of Kelly Field, wired the
chief of air service Saturday for per-
mission to hold the big exhibition on
Sunday. Monday morning it was
learned that the request had been
approved.
Kelly Field, Brooks Field, and the
San Antonio Air intermediate Depot
are cooperating to put on the largest
and most extensive aerial demOnstra-
ton ever held in the southwest. The
entire gate receipts will be givn to the
Army Relief Fund, fund Tor widows
and orphans of army men.
As soon as it was learned definitely
that the exhibition is to be given
on November IS, special invitations
were prepared to be sent to Governor
Neff and all the general officers at
Eighth Corps Area headquarters and
Fort Sam Houston. This includes
Maj. Gen. +. NJ. Lewis. commander
of the Eighth Corps Area, Maj. Gen.
Ernest Kinds, commander of Fort
Sam Houston, Brig. Gen. Preston
Brown, commander of the Third In
fantry Brigade, Brig. Gen. Benjamin
A. Poore, commander of the Fourth
Infantry Brigade, and Brig. Gen.
Paul B. Malone, commander of the
Second Field Artillery Brigade.
If Governor Neff is willing to come
to San Antonio by the air route a
Martin bomber plane will be sent
from Kelly Field to bring him and his
party here on the day of the exhibit
ton.
The reason for holding the aerial
exhibition on Sunday is because a
much larger crowd can attend on that
day.

CHAPTER Xxx

Quietly, as though nothing had hap
paned, the three men went down the
stairs, passed the sleeping night clerk,
and headed back to the sheriff's office,
where waited Anita and Harry, who
had completed his last duties in re-
gard to the chalky-faced Maurice Ro-
daine. The telephone tangled It was
Denver. Mason talked a moment over
the wire, then turned to his fellow
officer.
They've got Barnham. What's more,
he had close to a million dollars In
currency strapped around him. Guess
we'd better stir up some horses now
and chase along, hadn't we?"
Yes, and get a gentle one for me-"
cautioned Harry.
''That goes for me- too" laughed
Fairchild.
"And mel like automobiles bet
ter" Anita was twisting her long hair
into braid, to be once more showed
under her cap. The start was made.
A detour, then the tracks led the
way to the Ohadi road, and behind
them came the pursuers, heads down
against the wind, horses snorting and
coughing as they forced their way
~hrough the big drifts, each following
one another for the protection it af-
forded. A long, silent, cold-gripped
two hours-then finally the lights of
Ohadi.
But even then the trail was not diff
cult. The little town was asleep !;
hardly track showed in the streets
beyond the footprints of horse lead
ing up the principal thoroughfare and
on out to the Georgeville road. On
ward until before them was the bleak
rat-ridden old roadhouse which formed
Laura's home, and light was gleam-
ing within.
Silently the pursuers dismounted
and started forward, only to stop
short. A scream had come to them,
faint in the bluster of the storm, the
racking scream of a woman in a tenn
pest of anger. Suddenly the light
seemed to bob about in the old house !;

of the window and out to the twenty
foot plunge which awaited him. Hur-
riedly they gained the window, but al
ready the form of Rodaine had un-
rolled itself from the snow bank into
which 1t had fallen, dived beneath the
protection Of the low coping which
ran above the first-foor windows of
the hotel, skirted the building in safety
and whirled into the alley that lay be-

Frantically, Fairchild turned for the
door, but big hand stopped him.

health, but God saw fit to pluck him
as a flower for his kingdom. He
leaves a sweet mother and darling
sister, one daughter, three brothers
and a host of friends to mourn their
loss.
The funeral services were conduct
