 A MERICA'S national shrine to A heroic dead is commemorate ed in the U. s. 50-cent stamp above, showing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the amphi- theater at Arlington National Cemetery.
 The site of the cemetery was owned by George Washington Parke Custis, adopted son of George Washington. Mary Ann Custis and Robert E. Lee were married in the mansion which is the central feature of the cerne- tery.
 When General Lee left Arling- ton to assume command of Vir- ginia troops, Federals occupied the estate, made it a headquarters and a camp. Later a hospital was es- tablished and in 1864 Arlington became a national cemetery by or der of the secretary of war. The first soldier buried in Arlington was Confederate, who had died in the hospital. 'e
 The Unknown Soldier of the World War is not the only name less hero buried in Arlington. Bones of 2000 unknown soldiers killed in the battles of Bull Run and Rappahannock lie beneath a granite sarcophagus. Soldiers of every American war, including the Revolution, rest in Arlington.

 Miss Lane, understand you have a little money you might well Invest out here. I'm prepared to in vest that money for you, invest It | in good, sound real estate in Sioux | Springs or in any other town out here you like" fN t's @
 He reached into his pocket, pro- duced an elaborate Autograph, spread it out before Carrie. 1t pie tiired a "State Capital of Tonor- row" with broad streets and hum ming river and railroad traffic.
 Miss Lane," Oaks pressed on, "the capital must be located in Grove City. Look, hundreds of lots have been sold there already" He produced further evidence of lot transactions. People are coming west on every train out of Chicago. In six months 1t will be too late to get in on this. You don't need to homestead out here one hour"
 Oaks stopped. Carrie Lane was not listening She was looking to- ward Rock Creek and the waving slewgrass and the rolling plains be- yond. She turned back, with a look of definite defiance. ,f . '9"s
 MT. Oaks, I'm sorry, but I think you'd better drive on." i9' i
 Oaks flushed. He turned back to to buggy. picked up the reins, but he held them a minute. And then he bowed ever so slightly and smiled, a dark, insinuatfng smile. T suppose MT. Deuel is to blame for this" He nodded his head. "In that case I don't think you or MT. Deuel either have heard the last from me" He climbed back into his buggy, reached for his long, black whip. "It might be a good thing to re member, Miss Lane, that pretty girls sometimes get mixed up in things out here a lot more than they want to-" He cracked his whip and the buggy rolled away.
 Carrie, trembling, sat down on the pile of lumber and watched him across Rock Creek. It was with a long sigh of relief she saw the Tay- GALLEY 2-MARK DEUEL
 Tor wagon pull through the trees an hour later.
 Newt Gale was closing his livery stable at midnight when he glanced in the direction of the darkened land office across the street. A soli- tary figure crouched in the shadows.
 "Um, that's funny now" unused Newt. "This time of night" He walked toward the land office. Sud- denly the figure darted down the side of the building and out of sight. But not before Newt Gale recog- nized the f1at-crowned hat and the cutaway coat of Ashton Oaks.

CHAPTER V

The Taylors left Sioux Springs early. Carrie joined them after a hearty breakfast at Ma ParleyS' The wagon was piled high with sup plies. most for Carries claim. She sat between Mrs. Taylor and big Ed, perched up in front of the load.
 The wagon, grinding deep into dry prairie earth, rolled up chok- ing cloud of dust. Ahead, Carrie could see still other wagons, and behind them Sioux Springs single dusty street was alive with rum bling, creaking freighters and every conceivable homeSteader outfit
 Carrie would never forget that morning. The sun beat down merc1- lessly, she thought, and she was glad that Ma Parmley had warned her to wear her biggest bonnet. Mrs. Taylor wore one, too. Big Ed Taylor, busy driving, didn't say much ex- cept to note the powdery dryness ot the land.
 seems" Ed said, "as if this is about the dryest spell I've seen ln a long time. Little rain would sure help this here prairie grass. Look at how brown it's gettin' now"
 It was brown. Carrie sat there, pumping along, staring at the scared grass as far as her eyes could reach and thought, with a ehudder, it was almost hot enough to burn. She noticed, however, grass was greener along the bottom lands when Ed Taylor whipped his team of grays across Rock Greek an hour before noon and pulled up at Car rie's claim. While Mrs. Taylor got out their lunch, he unloaded sup plies, stacked them near the soddy site. Then they sat down and ate as Carrie never rememberd eating bfore.
 The Taylors drove on to their own claim, a mile distant, after eating, promising Carrie to return early for her that afternoon.
 Might as well come with us now" Big Ed said, until we get gtraightened around. Not much you can do here alone till we put up that soddy." But Carrie refused, saving she might as well get used to being on homestead alone, that she wanted to get the "feer' of her land.
 Carrie waved goodby to the Tay- Tors, standing there on her stack ot supplies, and was thankful that such people lived. She watched them down the knoll and out o1 sight beyond the trees along Rock Greek. She was turning back to sur yey the things Taylor had undoaded when she saw a lone figure driving kcross the creek in buggy toward her claim.
 Instantly she was excited. She did not have long to wait. The visi- tor was Ashton Oaks. Carrie recog- nized him with a sudden fear, which she could not wholly disguise as he drove up.
 Oaks. affable, immaculate in his cutaway and black hat, jumped down from the buggy, greeted Car rie effusively
 well, we'll" he said, surevylng the pile of homestead stocks. Looks like you're going to do it up right Building and everything"
 That's exactly it." said Carrie aThe Taylors hauled out the las' load today and this afternoon or tomorrow we begin on the soddy. can't wait to get it finished and move in."

Coffee Doesn't
Favor Revision
|0f johnson Act

Congressman John NJ. Coffee Is
sued the following statement Fri
day:
II regret that In an interview
with me. published in The Tacoma
Times. Thursday. Nov. rs, 1910,
certain opinions and conclusions
were attributed to me contrary to
my convictions.
THE interview stated that II
was my belief congress should i'm
mediately revise the johnson act
and eliminate the provision which
prohibits the United States loaning
money to any nation which de-
faulted on first World war loans.
This statement is an error. Al no
time have ! contended that such
should be done. / did declare that
increasing pressure would be
brought upon congress for such re-
vision In view Of England's critical
situation.
II urged that all reasonable
help should be extended to Eng
land of a character which would
not cripple our own defcnses and
which would be within the law.
II was also stated that ] urged
the immediate stoppage OF the
manufacture of automobiles. This
statement Is likewise In error.
81 spoke of the need of stepping
up the defense effort and ex-
pressed the hope that the defense
commission would bring about in
creasing emphasis upon plant en-
iargements and retooling to ef-
fectuate that objective. II was
stated that urged taxing of all
war profits 100 per cent.
Evidently. the confusion arose
in the reporters mind from my
statement TO him that Great Brit
ain was taxing war profits 100 per
cent. I urged drasticaliy in
creased tax upon munitions profits.
/ trust that my position, which Is
well known upon these matters.
viii not be misinterpreted in the
public mind. / am sure that the
interviewer wrote his article in all
sincerity and statements ascrioed
to me were based upon misunder-
standing"
