Disclosure was made today that
the United States threatened to
withhold relief measures from Ger
many in 1920 if a Communist
regime was established in Berlin.
The disclosure was made in the
hitherto unpublished State De
partment documents dealing with
Americas foreign relations in that
year.
On March 81, 1920, Loring Dire.
sci, American commissioner in
Berlin, cabled the State Depart.
ment the following message:
"UnderSecretary Of State Won
HanieI informed me this morn
ing that serious danger exists
that radical elements in Berlin
would declare a Communist re-
public this afternoon"
Dresel added that, in conjunc-
tion with similar action by the
allied representatives in Berlin, he
had addressed a statement to Won
Haniel in which he said the estab-
lshment of a Communist regime
could not fail "to imperil the re-
establishment of good relations
with the United States" Dresel
declared:
"Such action will also seri-
OuSly interfere with the read
juStment of Germany and the
ameliOratiOn of the present un-
favorable economic conditions
by the measures of relief which
have been projected and al
ready initiated"
The State Department ap-
proved Dresel's action and mott,
fled him he might inform the
German authorities that the
United States Government "iS

forts of the German government
in its conflict with both the
forces of reaction and militarism
and of anarchy"

For Bad Winter
Coughs, Mix This
Remedy Yourself
Saves Good Money! No Cooking

Saves Good Money! No CookingI (
If you want the best cough remedy
that money can buy, mix it at home. It
costs very little, yet it's the most reli-
able, quick-acting medicine you ever
used. The way it takes hold of dis
tressing coughs, giving immediate re-
lief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
215 ounces of Pinex. Pour this into
pint bottle, and add granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. To make
syrup, use 2 cups of sugar and one cup
of water, and stir few moments until
dissolved. No cooking needed. It g no
trouble at all, and gives you four times
as much cough medicine for your
money-a real family supply. Keeps
perfectly and tastes fine.
1t is surprising how quickly this
loosens the phlegm, soothes the irritat-
ed membranes, helps clear the air pas
sages, and thus ends bad cough in o
hurry.
Pinex is a compound Of Norway
Pine, in concentrated form, famous for
its effect in stopping coughs quickly.
Money refunded if it doesn't please
you in every way.

CHAPTER X

DY NOON of that Thursday,
ID Kerry had his camp made on
an island a quarter mile offshore
in Townline lake.
In the afternoon he and the dog
set out for the first hours of cruis-
ing. Before shutdown he padded
across to the cabin where he might
have stayed, went inside and looked
idly about and then returned to
camp.
They were alone. They had not
seen a soul, or heard a man-made
sound OF course, Frank Blue
iay. squatting in the alders, made
no sound except surly, impatient
grunt. That was when he raised
himself to one knee and sought to
cover the man in the canoe out
there with the worn rifle he car
ried. and found that the glare of
sunlight made the sight-bead show
large as an orange. When the
canoe was out Of the glare, the
range was too long for certainty.
And the next morning when
Young set out a spanking breeze
blew. He kept to shoal water for
a mile where the seas were not
dangerous so that he could square
away and lay a course into the
wind, thereby avoiding the chance
Of swapping. By the time he was
out over the indigo depths again he
was far from the breed and once

fathers father had told him that
Townline lake never gave up it's
dead, did they drown in the chan
nels. Bluejay wanted no risk OF
discovery in this doubly motivated
undertaking.
Kerry Young was up early as
we'll, the next day, stripping and
running naked into the biting cold
lake, plnnging, blowing, splashing
great fronds of water at Tip, who
had followed him in. The dog liked
it; he barked and yelped.
A spanking little breeze had
come again with the sunrise, fiat
tening out the smoke of the small
fire. making coffee slow to boil and
delaying the frying of bass he had
caught last evening.
Wavelets Missed through the
rushes. The deep blue of the chan
mel was flecked with small white
caps. Young looked at the weather
and opined that the day would
keep clear, though the wind might
rise to half gale.
That is what Frank Bluejay
| thought too, as breathing heavily,
he made his way to the edge Of a
cedar thicket on the shore and saw
the smoke of that breakfast fire.
He did not fdget nor fuss through
the interval of waiting. But when
the canoe put out he rose slowly
certain of his good concealment
and stiffened.

the ambushed Indian. The light

Closer and closer to the fringe of
distant cedars they progressed,
within two hundred yards, hun
dred and seventy five, a hundred
and fifty; then the seas having
subsidized, Kerry swung sharply to
the left, putting his canoe broad
side to the weather.
It was now that Bluejay pulled
back the hammer Of the worn old
rifle. Slowly he pressed his cheek
tight against the cool stock. The
sight-bead came down, wavering;
found it's object. The muzzle
moved thrice, following the rise and
fall of the canoe. The brown hand
on the grip squeezed. The
breed stood there for long mo-
ment, lips, loose, watching.
On the shot Young had pitched

hung so, on it's beams end; then
with a quick roll and little splash,
it went bottom up and began to
drift with the seas.
Tip, thrown into the waters, head
held high, began circling swiftly.
Around and around he went, cry
ing out for the master who had
disappeared.
With a sharp nod, Bluejay
turned. He left the cedars, climbed
the bank and pushed on through
the hardwood.
Townline lake never gives up its
dead. That was the thought which
flashed through Kerry's mind as hi
went overheard. Once down In thu

He had crowded her against the

a strange sound, half-laugh, half

shattered paddle in one hand.
The blow of the bullet had all
but torn it from his grasp. just
as he was dipping the blade that
terrific impact had struck. Per-
haps the smooth ash had DETECTED
the missile; perhaps the aim of his
assailant had not been good. His
first act was for self-preservation
Someone had lain in wait to kill
him. Someone had shot with rea-
sonable accuracy !. and to let
them believe that desired end
had been achieved was at once
smartness and caution.
So he went over the far side, his
torso lolling in the water, the move
throwing Tip out with a great
scrambling. Kerry cautiously twist
ed his body so he would come up
beneath the craft.
In there, he could hear nothing
but the slosh of water, the rustic
of wind, the sharp, inquiring bark
of the dog.
Young wanted to call out, to re-
assure the retriever that all was
we'll, for Tip was in great state
of excitement and distress. But
to do that, he feared, would set
the animal diving for him and that,
to watcher, might betray the
| coorot fhof ho rx1oc SOTO on6 in
concealment.
With great caution, he showed
himself downward and came up
on the leeward side.
The dog had just rounded the
bow again. His look was tense,
almost agonized, but when he came
thus face to face with his master,
the ears pricked stiffly and then re-
Taxed, the orange flare left the
eyes and pink tongue showed.
"Okay!" Kerry choked. "All jake,
chum! Hi! All right, then!
listen, Tip" he said, holding
the dog beside him with one hand
while the other rested on the canoe.
II got to get out of this p
He looked about. The waves
were high. Straight down wind was
his island, reed-fringed, with warm
sunshine beating upon it.
"You, Tip! You get to
camp! savvy?" He reached for a
hold on the dogs tail. Ellie on
now! Camp! HE on!"
Obediently the dog turned down
wind. Kerry kept his hold on the
tail, let go the canoe.
"Campv' gasped Kerry. ellie

the water, making slow going of it

way to the boy, should he attempt

out Mans face, nodded heavily.

He turned for the entry and none

They stood close together, the

hers, looking up into his face in
tently. The old physician, struck
by the apparent significance of
their postures, hesitated as If to
withdraw.
"Come in, Ezra - Nan said and
then to Holt, with little shake of
his hands: "And so you will be
careful, Holt dear?'
Stuart withdrew his hands from
hers and turned, going abruptly,
not looking at Adams.
| When he was gone and Nan had
closed the door, she swung toward
the old man with tears in her eyes.
