of the new life that was opening for
them, he had utterly forgotten his
previous statement made to the cap
tain weeks before.
There was nothing to do now but
face the situation. Fabien held Ma
mons hand more tightly and answered
calmly, 80, we were not married, but
we love each other and wish you to
marry us before we land"
For full moment there was deep
silence. Across the captains face one
emotion after another clearly ex-
pressed his rising anger at being
duped by them both and disillusioned
by Manon.
The governor was amazed into
stunned silence. To think that Fa-
bien had tricked them all by lie.
He blamed himself as an utter fool
for having respected the so-called
holy bonds of matrimony.
1t took Synnelet to break the 81
lence. "That is good" he said, step
ping forward. "That is very good,
Monsieur; and now that we know the
truth" he continued, turning to his
uncle, "there is no reason why | can
not have her."
Right, my boy" replied the gov
ernor, slowly nodding his head to the
nephew he never denied, then turn
ing to Fabien with slightly puzzled
expression he said, "since the girl is
not your wife, she is any mans pro-
perty, and shall be given to my nep-
hew."
Fabien frightened his grasp around
Manon's shoulder. His own stupidity
had brought their dream castle tumb-
ling about their ears. But he would
not give her up. He had gone through
much for her sake and was now ready
to lay down his life if it would help
her.
AS Synnelet came forward to claim
his new property, Manon cried out in

Juniors Have Annual
Prom for the Seniors

The annual junior prom and ban
quet last Saturday night was a bril-
liant success. The crowd assembled
at the Methodist church, where a
turkey dinner was served. James
Baxter, the president of the Junior
class of 1928, was the POSTMASTER at
the banquet. Speakers for the eve
ming were Kathryn Egan, Agnes Carl
son, Eugene Egan, and Mr. G. R.
Schmidt. The general theme of the
speakers was preparedness"
After dinner the entire company left
for the high school gymnasium, which
was worked out to represent a rose
garden. The white fence and lattice
work twined with roses, the garden
seats and baskets of flowers all helped
to create an atmosphere of spring.
The junior class colors-pale green
and rose-were carried out in the de-
corations. The girls received green
and rose handkerchiefs for favors.
Dancing lasted until late hour, and
everybody reported having a good
time. Mr.. and Mrs. G. r. Schmidt
lead the grand march, after which the
junior quartet gave two pieces-"A
Cottage Small by Waterfall" and
alexander"
Elma Martin was chairman Of the
decorating committee, while the farm
shop class made the trellis and fence
for the juniors. Elma Jarvi was
chairman of the punch committee;
Elizabeth Larkin, favors; Edi Massa,
invitations, and Irene Sinko, pro-
grams.

Manon, tremulous in the shelter Of
Fabien's arms, gazed Up at him ador-
ingly, while he calmly continued to re-
gard the others.
The captain and the governor
turned aside and WHISPERED in an I'M
dertone. 1t was evident that they
were not entirely in accord.
"Put him off the Ship" said the
governor in a voice loud enough for
Fabien to hear.
eyes," chinned in Synelet, 1--WE in
sist that you send him ashore. Turn
him over to the guards. 1t is evident
that he is wanted by them."
The captain looked back at the fast
receding shore line, already more than
a mile away. There was a humorous
CLEAN in his eyes which did not es-
cape Manon and Fa5ien, who had
been awaiting the result of the confer
ence with no little trepidation.

husband to accompany his wife. If
the guards wanted this man badly
enough they should have gotten him.
For the moment we will do nothing
about it."
The governor frowned. He could
not infringe upon the captains au-
thority. From time immemorial, at
sea, the word of the captain has been
law for all on board to obey.
Synnelet, headstrong and impetu-
Gus, started to protest, but quick
word of caution from his uncle eff
fectively silenced him.
The captain waited an her mo-
ment for a coherent voiced dissension
to his verdict, then, as everyone re-
manned silent, he turned to Fabien and
said, you heard what | said, Mon
sleur? For the time being you are
to remain on board-you will work
your way across"
Manon's and Fabien's eyes met in
frantic effort to convey their relief,
their love, and their hope for con-
5inued good luck in the new land that
was destined to be their future home.

CHAPTER XXI

As the ship put out to sea, Manon
was among the privileged few who
remained on deck, consequently it was
her misfortune to witness her lovers
tragic apparent death. She longed
to end her own thoroughly miserable
existence by leaping into the sea and
sinking to watery grave as near to
Fabien as possible 1t was cruel to
be sent to an unknown land where
life would be prolonged only to en-
counter further pain and heartache.
Utterly overcome by melancholy
thoughts of death and despair, Manon
fell upon the deck in dead faint.
The weight of her body, pulling on
the chain, attracted the attention of
the hard faced woman who after look
ing curiously at the pitiful, uncon-
scious little figure, knelt down and
pillowed Manon's head in her lap. She
rubbed the pallid forehead with I'M
certain fingers and spoke in a gentler
tone than she had used in years. APP
parently Manon would never lose her
power to arouse commendable emo
tions in other women.
When the governor noticed that his
nephew's "choice" was in trouble he
ordered the bonds removed so that
she could have more freedom and ease.
This meant that eight of the other
women were also released, because
one long chain had served to fasten
them together. They endeavored to
express their appreciation of this
temporary freedom by gathering
around Manon and offering sugges-
tions They carried her to the bow
and propped her against huge coil
of rope close to the rail. They were
prevented from giving further aid by
an order to go below where it was
their lot to remain for the greater
part of the voyage An amazing in
cident saved Manon from similar
treatment.
Everyone on board was busy tend
ing to duties involved in getting under
way.
Manon thought it would have been

crept around Fabien and he held her
close.
Il couldn't see you sail away with

smile of peace suffused Fabien's face.
Darling, l forgot-where did the
soldiers wound you?" Manon pulled
away and carefully looked Fabien
over, fully expecting to see blood.

Il didn't even know that you could

proachful. She was so much a part
of Fabien's life that she wanted a
knowledge of his past as we'll as the
right to share his future. There was
no doubt about enjoying the present.
They stood on the forward deck, with
arms about each other, lookin ahead
out toward the open sea while warm
breeze made hopeless tangles of
Manon's curls.
In the happiness of being reunited
all thought of danger faded away. In
the sweet oblivion of their love Manon
and Fabien were still able to forget

pent up anger the captain hurled him.

against the wall where he held him
until reinforced by two husky sailors,
who had been hastily summoned by
the governor.
Il am sorry, sir" Fabien admitted
to the captain. LET me explain-I
am sure you will understand"
"Throw this mad fool in with the
convicts," ordered the captain. AS the
sailors bore him toward the door he
fought madly like one possessed as
he saw Synnelet struggling to take
Manon into his arms.
The odds against Fabien were too
great and he was thrown through
the open hatch into the hold below.
He fell upon the reeking, naked
bodies of the half crazed convicts,
and lay sprawled in their midst, I'M
conscious from the impact of his fall.

that she was being deported and tina
he had no right to be aboard.
By this time the ship was we'll un
der way and the governor had leisure
to come for'ard with Synnelet for &
talk with 'the pretty little wench who
tainted" They expected to find hen
still reclining on the coil of rope and
very grateful and agreeable to them
for her freedom. Instead they saw a
vital and radiantly animated young
girl in the arms of a stranger, enjoy
ing the voyage as though there were
privileged guests rather than pris-
oners.
Striding up to Fabien the governor
demanded, "be good enough to explain
sir, how you happened to get aboard"
"By the ships ladder, sir. Your
sailors neglected to to pull it up. You
see | am not yet dry from my swim"
Fabien brushed water from his wet
clothing and smiled whimsically.
Synnelet always got what he want
ed, without any effort on his own
part. If he had been a general in the
army he would have been most sue
cessful because he had wonderful
ability to make others fight his bat
ties. The sight of Manon in another
mans arms aroused his fury and set
his brain to working. 'In situation
like this" he reasoned, "the captain
IS the boss-not the governor" I'M
Synnelet turned on his heel
and solicited the captains aid. In
very short time they returned, forti-
fled by two strapping sailors, and
confronted Fabien.
"Stand aside there-release the
jade" Numbered the captain.

The days that followed opened up
new life for Fabien. The hard
manual labor, that befell his lot as a
member of the ships crew, combined
with the bracing salt air and plain
but wholesome food built him up
physically and gave him keen
mental stimulation that was in direct
contrast to the romantic, inactive
student who had studied for the
priesthood

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE Ma

night letter from its acting president,
Matthew Woll, to President Coolidge,

can opinion taken by the federation
had revealed whole -hearted and un-
qualified" Endorsement of the Govern

representative citizens who, with more
than 5000 others, Mr.. Woll said, had
signed a statement approving the fed
eration's opposition to recognition until
the Soviet regime should have ceased
its subverSive activities in the United
States.
Other conditions of recognition men,
toned in the statement thus approved
were compensation to Americans for
payment of the imperial external loans
held by Americans, and demonstration
that the Soviet government was "fit to
associate with civilized nations"
''The insistent clamor of certain
groups for recognition of the Russian
Soviet regime by the United States"
wrote Mr.. Woll, has led the National
Civic Federation to sound public opin-
ion in all parts of the country upon
this issue.
THE response to that inquiry is a
wholehearted and unqualified indorse-
ment of the policy steadfaStly main

MISS EART1ART URGES MOTHERS
NOT TO HAMPER AIR R,-MINlDEDNESSI
Tells Them to Take Children
to Reliable Field for
Thrill of Ride.
Lady Heath Praises Amer
ica's System of Avia-
tion Routes.

Mothers of the "air- minded younger
generation" are urged by Miss Amelia
Earhart not to forbid children to go near
the airport, but rather to 60 with them
and supervise that longed-for first
flight as a safeguard against the sort
of accidents which occur when John
ny" slips off to take a forbidden ride
with some older buddy" who may or
may not be licensed pilot with a we'll
inspected plane.
Miss Earhart, in an informal talk be-
fore the ladies of the Congressional
Club at their weekly tea hour, stressed
the necessity for parents to recognize
the fact that the children of this gen.
Grafton look upon the airplane much
as their parents did the automobile, and
naturally are eager to fly.
Don't make it forbidden pleasure
for your child II you can possibly give
him the opportunity to satisfy that
universal craving to see what it's like.
Accompany him some day to a reliable
flying field and take him for a ride
with reliable pilot. This may save
chance acquaintance, who may be reck-
less and thoroughly unreliable, casually
offers him a thrill she said.
Lady Mary Heath, who also addressed
the club, declared that the whole world
had its eyes turned upon America,
where aviation was first Graded and
where to-day you have the most per-
fectly mapped-out air routes on the face
of the globe-your air mail service"
Lady Heath declared it was for the
women of the world to instill into the
minds of their children the proper fly
ing psychology-impressing them with
the fact that air transportation was the
safest, most economical and fastest
means of travel. She illustrated each
point from her own experiences.
