think about it, that this country never got
around to dedicate the Perry Memorial at
Put-m-B Bay until the fall Of 1898.
The official government commission

The hoop is, to be sure, formally commemo-
rating the 125th anniversary of the battle
Of Lake Erie. But is is an observance too
long delayed, for the story which begins
with 4 battle and ends with monument
is one which cannot be told too often.
The annals of the worlds wars are full
Of stories that can be described that way,
nj course-stories that begin with battle
and end with monument. Enough pain,
loss. and suffering is packed into that short
compass, usually, to make the angels weep,
and often enough, looking back, one is
hard put to say whether the net gain was
worth all it cost.
But the Perry story is different
Out of those frenzied two hours on Lake
Erie there came something which is a
priceless possession Of two great nations
and an ideal to inspire the whole world.
I'm its immediate effects, of course,
Perry's victory was important enough. 1t
saved the northwest for the United States,
kent the bungled war of 1912 from end
ing in disaster, and ended the Indian men
ace in the Northwest Territory.
Even more important than that, how
ever. was the fact that this great battle
was followed by more than a century OF
rcace. Shortly after the war, English and
American commissioners drew up and
SIGNED the Rush-BagOt treaty limiting arm
aments on the Great Lakes-the first dis
armament treaty in the history of mterna-
f,onal relations The spirit of that treaty
has been kept ever since, until now It Is
something that neither the United States
nor Canada would conceivably give up.
Now the thing to remember about It Is
that there was nothing in the cards to
make such a peaceful relationship inevlta-
BILE. The two nations might lust as easily
more easily. in fact-have gone ahead
in the traditional way. nourishing grudges
because Of the last war and laying plans
for getting even in the next. Every factor
that ordinarily makes for rivalry and en-
nifty between two nations was present
But it didn't happen that way-princi-
paflv because the people involved used
good sense. ....
American Gre-eaters stopped talking
, about the conquest of Canada English
I itnperialists gave mp their old idea of Grip
ping the upstart republic, Instead. all
, bands decided to get along together IN
peace. .... ..
! And it worked That is the great point
,, to remember. Two virile, expanding, and
ambitious peoples showed that disarma-
neut is practical. And there has never
been a time when the world could medi-
tate on that fact with more profit than
/ today.

with his mouth, for hiseyes had turned
hard as glass. What are you telling
me to do-jump out and swim in

But can't you get what I'm telling
you?" she begged. The whole marsh
would be glad to see you lynched.
They're against you outside men.
They're glad enough for an excuse to
get you out of the way. And they
won't give you a trial either"
"In that case I'll have to fight.

A hot excitement filled her eyes.
Her heart thumped. Yes, he could
put up a pretty good fight, she could
see that. And it confused her. Killing
an old Cajun fisherman was the work
of a coward, not of this type of
fighter. Suddenly both jumped up
from the table.
1t was a muf11ed medley of sound
that had startled them, at first noth-
ing more than a hum or pulsation in
the night wind mingling with the
high shrill cry of teal. the whistle of
pintails and the lower quack of NAL
lards. They ran out. Lights from a
great distance glimmered like marsh
fire. Ross Tyler felt the girls arm

other arms that had entangled his
boat. But he showed her away and
dashed into the cabin for gun.

peered - Cajuns, Catalans. Portu-
guese. The whole crowd had trekked
in through the pirogue trail despite
the girls pitiful attempt at truce.
Ross Tyler's face was turned up,
glaring at her oyster-eyed. "You did
it again, didn't you!
Hes come to. 50 let's get the

his over the acres of writhing lilies.
Caron Mack knelt down to slip the
moose over the prisoners head but
the girl grasped it fiercely.
This moose is for you, Caron
Mack" Looking Up like tigress.
Her father cried out, beside him
self. ''Ninon! Get away from him!
You've done a good job and I'm
proud of you. The whole marsh is
proud. But get away from him.
Ninon Gambert said what she had
to say while sitting there on the deck
with Tyler's head in her lap. "You
answer me one thing, Caron Mack,
and let everyone hear it. When you
came to our camp today. where did
you come from?"

The men in the cockpit looked at
each other. the gnarled and knot
jointed deputy said, why does
Caron Mack say he was there when
he must have been in salt water?"
''If you needed an alibi," the girl
said, 1T would be better if you'd
covered your catch when you stopped
at my landing or else shown me some
catfish and carp"
But why" the deputy Bobo Jim
asked. why. am asking you. does
he need alibis? What has Caron Mack

The crowd gaped. some swore.

sneering laugh and his hands twisted
the rope and kneaded it.
Those in the cockpit looked down
at Ross Tyler. hearing him mumbling.
He struggled up so that he sat. the
girl holding him with both arms.

that he was sort of patriarch of the
marsh whose word was the only law
they would accept. The Sheriff had
appointed him deputy.

"And l want one more" she said
as the pirogues'- three or four OF
them - came in slow single flle

"Is Caron Mack there?"

back. IF anyone else comes this man
will shoot"
There was palaver. 1t must have
been the old deputy, Bobo Jim, who
persuaded the crowd to stay back
in their luggers and smacks. Two
pirogues pressed on in the moonlight.
When they we're within pistol range,
the deputy called:

What for?"
"We are arresting you for the muir

The girl jumped in front of Tyler
just as he made this foolhardy taunt.
But she was too late. A gun barked.
Ross Tyler fell with slug burning
his scalp.
