up horse and rider coming toward
her They were just speck in the
distance, but intuition seemed to tell
her that something was wrong,
RET! Saddle Lindy quickly!
Hurry!"
In another moment she flung her
self into the saddle, dug her spurs
In the mares flank and headed to-
ward the hills. She was dimly aware
that Ret called something to her,
but she pressed forward. She
couldn't be sure at this distance, but
something told her that the oncom-
ing rider and horse were John and
Glory,
She tried to call out but the words
stuck in her throat. She leaned
forward and urged the mare on, and
in few minutes she could see that
she was right. The great chestnut,
slowing as he approached Allison
and Indy Lou, carried badly in
jured rider. John was bent almost
double over the saddle horn, blood
streaming from an ugly wound just
above his left ear.
John, oh. John, what's happened?
John, It's Allison! Can't you hear
me?"
She was sobbing as she dis
mounted, but she quickly ripped 4
sleeve from her shirt, and standing
on tiptoe, managed to stop the flow
of blood with the makeshift band
age. She was wondering how she
could get him to the house, when
she heard Ret and several of the
other hands coming. One glance at
the gravely injured man and they
quickly lifted him to the ground.
She turned to the COW hands.
Lefty, you and Nick go for the
blackboard. Ret. get the firSt-aid kit
in the office. Hurry! There isn't a
moment to lose. I'll stay with
John"
Almost before she had finished
speaking, they were on their way.
Tenderly she lifted his head to her
lap. John, John" she said softly.
"You must live, you must! II
need you"
She fumbled to loosen his shirt
and neckerchief in the hope that he
might breath easier, and in so doing
she dislodged small pouch from
his shirt pocket.
To her surprise, nuggets of gold
fell from her limp hand to the dew
sprinkled grass. Where would John
get nuggets of gold? Was he shot

when some one was trying to rob
him? Was this in some way con-
nected with his mysterious rides at
night? Could there be any connec-
ton between this and the bank rob-
berry in the early winter?
She slipped the pouch into the
pocket of her jacket. That mystic
rious little pouch need not cause
questions in any one else's mind.
Despite all protests, Allison stayed
by Johns bedside through the en-
tire day and night. The cowboys
took turns staying with her and
helping to care for their wounded
comrade. Even Richard offered to
take his turn in the sick room, but
Allison waved him aside. He looked
so inadequate to any emergency and
the doctor, hastily summoned, had
said that he must have the best of
care if they hoped to save him.
John Slowly Improves.
1t was almost noon of the next
day before John opened his eyes
Haggard from worry and lack Of
sleep, Allison was huddled in a big
armchair by his bedside, but even
the faint movement as he turned
his head slightly, brought her to his
side.
John, John, can you hear me?
It's Allison. Tears were streaming
unheeded down her cheeks. You're
going to be all right now. I knew
that you would pull through"
A hint of a smile f1ickered about
his bloodless lips. $50 Glory came
through?"
Her voice choked with tears, AL
lison put her finger gently across
his dry lips. please don't talk,
John. Just close your eyes and try
to get some rest and sleep. We can
find out what really happened when
you are much stronger
He CROPPED for her hand, held it
for moment after his eyes closed,
then dropped off into a calm, nat
ural sleep.
1t was almost a week before John
was finally strong enough to be
propped up in bed, and during that
time no mention had been made of
the incident, other than Allison's
assurance that Glory was unharmed.
Allison brought a small table to
the bedside. Ret was there to help

get him propped up in a comfort
able position, then he discreetly left
to "jes see how things were goin'."
The eXertion brought a faint flush
to Johns cheeks, but it heightened
several times when his only exer-
ton was looking across the table at
Allison.
Shot From Behind.
YOU'D better lie down now, John"
Allison said when they had finished.
She moved the table back and pre-

Has he said how soon I could

turned anxious eyes to the girl

it is impossible to keep sea horses in
an aquarium, public or private, with
out an unlimited supply of Gammarus.

ever, is in the mouth, which does not

for they won't live without their spe-
cial diet, even in balanced saltwater
aquarium.
Still more interesting than the head
is the creatures ventral pouch, serv-
ing the same purpose as the kanga-
roo's. In this case, however, it is the
male who bears the pouch, into which
the female deposits the eggs at spawn
ing time. They remain in this security
until they hatch into tiny sea ponies"
about seven millimeters in length,
and for some time after birth they
will all scuttle back and hide in that
protective pouch at the first sign of
danger.

His Toll Is Handy

IHE prehensile tail is also unique,
this being the only fish known that is
so equipped. Swimming generally in
perpendicular position, the sea horse
uses his tail to cling to marine vege-
tation or any other hitching post that
strikes its fancy. If you put your hand
quietly into the eelgrass, the younger
and more venturesome members will
soon attach themselves to your fingers
and investigate this strange phenome-
non. They also have form of colt-like
roughhouse wherein one will wrap
his tail around another's neck and
take him for lively aquaplane ride
around the vicinity. There must be
relatively powerful grip in this tail,
for I've never seen victim succeed
in extricating himself until his tor
mentor decided to let go.
If you spend any time at the sea-
shore this summer, look for sea horses
in bay waters and quiet inlets free
from the pounding surf. They extend
as far north as Cape Cod in the east
and l have found them often along
Long Island. In the winter | have
found them at Beaufort, South Caro-
lima, and in Pensacola Bay, where
they are only about half the size of
our northern species. The latter, how
ever, are decidedly summer fish;
they disappear with cold weather,
no one knows where.
Along the Pacific Coast of Mexico
one variety grows to length of
about twelve inches; but our smaller
species is just as fascinating a creature
to know. PAUL W. kEARNEY

Germans Contemptuous
OF Wilkes Speech

BERLIN, Feb. 6 P).-Authori0d
German sources asserted today that
utterances such as that by Wen
dell L. Willkie released yesterday
in London should be received only
with contempt.
The German government, the au-
thorized sources said, did not pay
much attention to Mr.. Willkie S
words, since he is a private citizen
"Of one thing we are sure" they
said. "Willkie would not have made
this reference to his German ex-
traction before election"
actually Mr.. Willkie made a
full statement concerning his
German ancestry in his accept
ance speech at Elwood, Ind, last
JulyD
The authorized sources called Mr.
Willkie "a past master at meta
morphoses."
1T is a pity he didn't live In
Ovid's time; he might have given
the poet new inspiration" was one
comment.
Ovid, Roman poet Of 43 B.C.-17
AID, is best known for his Meta
morphoses," a narrative poem re-
counting legends dealing with mi
raculous changes of shape.
1t was asserted that Mr.. Willkie
had behaved more English than
American-"the British lords SO
impressed him"
Previously Berlin authorities ex-
pressed doubt that any number of
Germans heard the Willkie broad
cast in view of prevailing laws max
ing listening to foreign stations SUBJ
ject to heavy penalties, including
death in aggravated cases.

GREENBELT, Md, Feb. 6.-Mem-
bers of the Greenbelt Consumer
Service, cooperative marketing or
ganization of the model community,
last night voted a dividend of $3.50
at meeting marking completion OF
the co-operative's first year of opera
ton.
In a report to the membership,
Walter r. Volckhausen, president of

net saving of 1866. Out of this
amount S2.266 was set aside as a
reserve fund and $3.50 for dividends
on outstanding shares.
Members of the cooperative group
will receive their dividends half in
cash and half in stock. while non-
members will receive their shares in
stock only.
Mr.. Volckhausen reported that
sales at various stores in the COM
munity totaled $375 900 in 1910, as
compared with $346,o0O in 1889, and
that membership of the consumer
group rose from 303 to 424 at the
end.

Philippines: so that if we follow
out the policy represented by this
bill, we will have to maintain and
protect supply lines which stretch
two-thirds of the way around the
earth, and which end is positions
exposed to attack by the most pow
erful nations Of both Europe and
Asia.
Not Prepared for War.
This would be an audacious under
taking even if our Nation were fully
prepared for war. But we are not
prepared for war, and the attempt
to hold control of island positions
off the coasts of Europe and Asia.
at the same time, would necessitate
depicting even the small defense
forces that We now have, as the
terms of this bill clearly show.
What we are doing in following
our present policy is giving up an
ideal defense position in America
for very precarious offensive posi-
ton in Europe. I would be opposed
to our entering the internal wars of
Europe under any circumstances.
But it is an established fact today
that our Army and our air force
are but poorly equipped on modern
standards. and even our Navy is in
urgent need of new equipment.
If we deDlete our forces still fur
ther, as this bill indicates we may,
and if ENGLAND should lose this war,
then, gentlemen, think we may be
in dancer of invasion. although !
do not believe we are today. If we
ever are invaded in America the
responsibility will lie upon those
who send our arms abroad.
Sees Danger at Home.
I advocate building strength in
America because I believe we can
be successful in this hemisphere.
oppose placing our security in an
English victory because I believe
that such a victory is extremely
doubtful.
I am opposed to this bill because
I believe it indorses a policy that
will lead to failure in war. and to
conditions in our own country as
bad or worse than those we now
desire to overthrow in Nazi Ger
many.
do not believe that the danger

abroad. I believe it lies here at

ID. T.. Funds Asked
For Social Worker
In Rental Court
Housing Association
Group Seeks Inclusion
Of Item in ~ Budget

The Commissioners will be asked
to include an item in the 1912 well
fare budget covering the cost OF the
social workers Office in the Land
ord-Tenant Court which has been
operating there since December un-
der private auspices.
This was decided last night by
friends of the Washington Housing
Association at meeting of the home
Of Mrs. C. C. Glover. .
1t also was decided to seek private
contributions to maintain the ONCE
until the end of the present fiscal
year. j. B. Wyckoff, president OF
the housing association, said the re-
quest would include a social worker,
Mrs. Florence T. Conlin, and clerk.
Cost Is $3.50 a Month.
Mr.. Wyckoff said the city heads
would be asked to attach the social
worker to the case work staff OF
Welfare Director Robert E. Bondy.
He said the Office should prove OF
value in the consideration of rent
relief problems. He estimated the
cost of the Office at $3.50 month.
Need for work was revealed last
July in study made under auspices
of the Community Chest and the
Council of Social Agencies, 1t was
said, and Mrs. Conlin began work in
December. During the last two
months she handled 173 cases which
came into the court and succeeded
in working out adjustments in l45
instances.
Investigates Background.
In the main she investigates the
background of delinquent tenants to.
find out why they have not paid
their rent, it was explained, and at
tempts to get solution satisfactory
TO both landlord and tenant. For
the two-month period, only ID cases
were not adjusted. Out of the cases
adjusted, 1l2 were worked out
through contact with the real estate
people, lawyers or tenants involved.
In dozen cases the tenant
worked out a satisfactory solution.
In seven instances this was after
conference with Mrs. Conlin.
Only 18 of the tenants involved
were known to public or private So
cial agencies. Mrs Conlin said, thus
leaving a large group who did not
know exactly where to turn for ad-
vice in settling their problems.
! OF the IA unsolved cases. the bulk
were shiftless or transient tenants
who had left town or for other rea.
sons could not be located.

Off West Africa
On Pioneer Flight
2,220-MiIe Lisbon Hop

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The Dixie

Europe to the United States and
carrying Wendell L. Willkie back
to this country, touched the waters
of Bolama, West Africa, at 9:48
am. (E. S. To Pan-American Air
ways said today, completing the
2,220-mile hop from Lisbon in 141a
hours.
Bolama was the first stop on a
southern route touching four conti-
nents. It was reported the plane
would lay over there at least four
hours before taking off on the sec
ond leg to Port of Spain, Trinidad,
a distance of 3,120 miles.
Mr.. Willkie left Lisbon at midnight
last night as one of the pioneer pas
sengers on the new trans Atlantic
plane route to New York by way of
Portuguese Guinea, on the African
West Coast, British Trinidad and
Puerto Rico This new route avoids
the groundswells at Horta, the
Azores, which often have hampered
operations.
Mr.. Willkie, accompanied by John
Cowles, president Of the Minneapolis
Star-Journal, and Landon K
Thorne, banker, who went to Eng
land with him, Is not scheduled to
arrive in New York until early
Saturday at the earliest, airline
officials said, and probably not until
Sunday.
Mr.. Willkie commented before his
midnight takeoff that his visit in
Britain had been more strenuous
and eventful than the election cam
paign last year.
The plane carried 10 passengers
and about a ton and half of mail.
