THE assassnaton on June 28, 1914, of the Archduke Francs Ferdnand, her to the throne, quckly resulted n the outbreak of a world -war. When Austra-Hungary pressed her demands upon Serva for reparaton Russa champoned the lttle Slav naton. Germany declared that her Austro-Hungaran ally must hare a "free hand" n dealng wth flerva, and the storm broke. The frst two years of the war, from August, 1914, to August, 1916, were marked by the subjugaton of nearly all of Belgum, part of northern France, all of Serva and the greater part of Russan Poland by the German armes. Russa-conquered and tlen lost a large slce of Austran terrtory n Galca. Followng the nvason of Belgum n August, 1914, Great Brtan and France -entered the war as the alles of Russa. The German march toward Pars, through Belgum and France, was effectually checked at the rver Marne early n September, 1914, and n the weeks followng the opposng lnes n France and Belgum were establshed practcally where they remaned for the next two years. Italy entered the war m May, 1915, and attacked Austra by land, east and northeast of Vence. *fhe frst year of tbe war saw the fall of Warsaw and the extenson of the German front to the Dvna rver, mdway between Warsaw and Petrograd. In 1916, the second year of the war, the Germans at* eked wth great force the French forress of Verdun, but were unable, to ret Ths event was followed by a rted drve by tbe French and BrhV ln northern France aganst the German lnes along the Ancre and Somme rvers.

The greatest'naval battle or tne war, fought off Jutland n May, 1917, was a draw, and tbe large vessels have not taken decsve part n the progress of the war. In 1915 Germany started a system of drastc submarne warfare, prmarly ntended to blockade the ports of her foes. Bellgerent and neutral alke were made to suffer n the submarne zones throughout 1915 and 191G, and artndrect result of Germany's naval polcy was tbe entrance of the Unted States nto the war.

In the Imperal valley of Calforna they nre makng fortunes rasng cotton ths year sudden dramatc fortunes. Everythng about the Imperal valley seems 11» have the dnunutlc Qualty; ts story would make n blsterng desert where n buzzard could scarcely lve. And then the government harnessed the Colorado rver and the desert was vened wth rrgatng csnals, and plowed and planted, and for the frst tme snce the prmordal floods subsded, a tnt of green and growng thngs spread over the salley. C'ottpn arrved n It came In the shape of a box of seed under the sent of a farm wagon drven by a Texas homesteader. He asked why they ddn't rase cotton thereabouts, and they «ad because f wouldn't grow. And so, beng from Texas, whch s somethng lke Mssour, he planted hs lttle store of cottonseed, and It came up and opened ts snowy bolls to the wonderment of all beholders. Furhermore, the next ypnr t came up and bore agan wthout another plantng. The Texan's lttle cotton feld spread lke a drop of%>utter on a hot pan. It clothed the barrenness of the desert n ts fleece. And t brought to the men who owned the land more hard ron dollars than ever they had seen before. There are 50,000 acres of cotton In the Imperal valley ths year and there are gong to be many more next year. And even better than the <>ntton crop Is the human crop, whch ths desert has borne; for t s peopled by men who own ther own farms and are prosperous. Inaatent "That," sad the physcan, as he examned the lump on the man's neck, "Is the remans of an old boll that started to come and then became encysted there."

TOLD ME" u\>e Post Toastes 1 hr v j^nt lke MEDICAL SOCIETY TO CARE FOR FAMILIES OF MEMBERS GOING TO FRONT. $5 ASSESSED TO EACH MEMBER A» Soon At Preaent Fund Haa Been Exhausted Another Levy of $6 Wll Be Made. Lanstng. To provde for care ot members n capactated n war servce and to sustan ther dependents.the Mchgan State Medcal socety has asaetbed every member?5. Ths fund, accordng to thoae n charge, means that Mchgan doctors at war need not worry about ther dependents. Moreover, f they themselves are wounded or taken ll, they wll receve the beat medcal attenton avalable. Major Andrew P. Bddle, presdent of the socety, has announced that the money wll be turned over prorata to the patrotc commttee of each county medcal socety for use. As soon as the present fund s exhausted, another levy of $5 per member wll be made. "Th3 s a patrotc move on the part of doctors who reman behnd," explaned Major Bddle. "Many Mchgan doctors have sacrfced much to serve ther country, and are deservng of our solctude." The fund haa nothng to do wth one to be rased by the Wayne County Medcal socety, by assessng ts members not leas than 3 per cent and not more than 8 per cent of ther Income, to be pad n monthly nstallments, for the Wayne county doctors who answer the call to the colors. F»rmtn Exempt Tll September, Men who beleve they wll he exempt from army duty because ther presence on farms wll be necessary for the harvestng of crops wll fnd that the exempton boards wll not lsten to any such plea. If they are otherwse wthn the selectve draft law they wll be temporarly exempted, but the call to the colors wll come toward the latter part of September. Ths n substance s a rulng by Provost Marshal Crowder receved by Major Samuel Pepper. The farmer and the farmers' hred men, physcallyl ft and wthout such dependents as come wthn the selectve draft law, wll be consdered just as good tmber for the natonal army as the cty man. It had been the dea n ths state, before ths rulng, that the farm help was to be gven a temporary dscharge whch practcally exempted t from the frst call. On ths bass many farmers and ther sons and many hred men on the farms have been feelng safe from the call. State Guard n Federal Servce. Except for a few offcers who have not been called to actve duty, there s now no more Mchgan natonal guard. Under the presdent's call, whch brought the last state troops nto federal servce August 5, on that date all the guardsmen were drafted nto federal servce. By draftng the guard on the same date, though groups were called at dfferent tmes, the queston of senorty of offcers s settled. All are n federal servce as of August 5. Mchgan's regments wll not be known by the numbers they bear now. Nether wll the other guard organzatons of the Unted States. The organzatons wll be kept ntact, but the guardsmen wll receve numbers where the regular army regments end. That means that Mchgan's numbers wll be well up n the hundreds. All offcers wll have to purchase new collar devces, whle the government wn have to change the collar ornaments of the men. The presdent may send the guardsmen anywhere now, the dscharge from the natonal guard and the draft Into the federal servce dong away wth restrcton* whch made the natonal guard only a natonal defense. For all practcal purposes, the guard s the same as the regular army, the offcers and men beng enttled to the same pay and allowances. Promoton of offcers s governed by a specal law, however. Fars Asked far Patrotc Days. Gov. Sleeper has ssued a proclamaton to boards managng all fars n Mchgan to set asde one day for patrotc demonstratons and programs. Ths s done to arouse ctzens to realsaton of the necessty of gvng proper equpment to solders leavng ths state, gvng care and attenton to the wounded and otherwse dong everythng they can to brng about an equal dstrbuton of the burden of r. (Conducted by the Natonal Woman's Chrstan Temperance Uolon.) BOOMERANG ARGUMENTS..Replyng a publc debate to the lquor man's argument for compensaton, Dr. Clarence True Wlson "Sad: ''Suppose we grant that they (the Unted States and the lquor seller) are partners. Suppose two theves are n busness to rob. One of them 'hts the tral 1 and gves up robbery and crme. Would you say the other thef has a case for damages for njury to hs busness by the converson of hs partner? "When we stopped pracy on the hgh seas, dd we compensate the prate? When we stopped lotteres, dd we compensate those who conducted them? Have we compensated dealers n dope whose busness was destroyed by the Harrson act?" Another pont made much of by Doctor Wlson's opponent was that the frst year after prohbton went nto effect n West Vrgna the governor of the state had to appeal to the legslature for addtonal tax measures to make up for the loss n revenue from lquor. "And n the second year," Doctor Wlson repled, "West Vrgna swept her state debt off the map. Today she stands among the leadng states of the Unon n the amount of surplus n her treasury." LIQUOR MONOPOLY. Brewers say that beer takes the place of bread. It often takes the place of mlk and meat also. Mllons of dollars are each year taken from the pockets of workngmen and put nto the pockets of the brewers. Beer s a very takng artcle. ALCOHOL GETS MEDICAL TABOO. At the annual meetng of the house of delegates of the Amercan Medcal assocaton, held In New York n June, a resoluton was adopted condemnng the use of alcohol. Such resoluton was presented by Dr. Frank Bllngs of Chcago, charman of the assocaton's councl of health and publc nstructon, and after dscusson was passed as follows : "Whereas, We beleve that the use of alcohol s detrmental to the human economy, and whereas ts use n therapeutcs as a tonc or stmulant or for food has no scentfc value, therefore "Be t resolved, That the Amercan Medcal assocaton s opposed to the use of alcohol as a beverage; and "Be t further resolved, That the use of alcohol as a therapeutc agent should be further dscouraged." The Amercan Medcal assocaton has a membershp of 81,000 physcans and surgeons. NEW OCCASION IN SHIP-LAUNCH INQ. Three boats large cannery tenders* for the Alaska fsheres were recently launched from one shlp-bulldng plant n Seattle. Each was chrstened wth the sparklng nonalcoholc beverage, applestaff. The bottles we're entwned n the natonal colors and hung from the three prows on slken ropes of red, whte and blue. The three young women sponsors, sad the Seattle Tmes, carred out the trple ceremony wth great brllancy. The crash of the bottles, soundng at ten-second ntervals, bathed the bows of the vessels In glstenng foam. "The new chrstenng beverage made good In whrlwnd style. Not a htch, not a halt of pause of any knd, whch means, accordng to tradton, that It s safe and sane to chrsten* snp wth the new Seattle beverage.** THE WHOLE TRUTH. -A le that s part the troth Is ever the blackest of les," A part truth, sccordng to a-honor Journal: "Kansas, booe-dry, has 75 mote prsoners In the pententary than It had when drssung The whole truth:, The Kansas pententary la a federal prson and the Unted 8tates government sends, more prsoners there than to any other federal prson because tt has plenty of pare room for outsders and Because ft s a model of ts knd, mprovng both the health and the morals of ts nmate" GREAT WAR CROP OF APPLES FOR PEOPLE OF THE NATION SOON It Wl Equal Two Bushels for Every Person n the Country. Specal Effort* Wll Be Made to Handle Frut Wthout Any Loaa May Fnd Help Shortage n Somo Place* Staplea to Alles. In order that we may help wn the «var aganst autocracy, Amercans must do everythng possble to furnsh suffcent food to help our fghtng alles. We must eat more pershable and sempershable food at home n order that the staple artcles, such as wheat, may be sent abroad n great amounts. In a couple of weeks we wll begn harvestng apples all over the country. Ths s a war crop. It wll amount to two bushels for every man, woman and chld In the Unted States. The motto ths year s: "Eat an apple and send a bscut." War condtons also confront th* apple growers, for there s a scarcty of pckers, and careful preparatons must now be made to see that ths crop s all safely harvested and put nto storage. Now s the tme to begn organzng pckng crews In every apple growng secton. A survey of the stuaton shows that the farmer wll need co-operaton from busness" men n the towns and ctes round about at whch he trades, and whch have Just as great an nterest In ths crop as the farmer hmself. Ths s emergency organzaton work to be taken up mmedately by chambers of commerce, boards of trade, state and county councls of defense, and busness men generally. The labor supply to harvest ths crop exsts rght n the ctes adjacent to the apple orchards n most cases, but the draft and demands of factores and ralroads for labor have dsturbed the normal supply of workj ers upon whch the farmer usually draws, and It Is necessary to recrut new knd's of workers. People who have never regarded themselves as apple pckers may ths year be asked to go to the orchards and help get n the crop for patrotc reasons. The organzaton work should take the form of an mmedate survey of labor resources to see where a pckng force Is to be recruted. Stores and factores can often release clerks and workmen for ths servce If notfed In tme. Famles who would lke a week or two of vacaton n the country wth lght, healthy outdoor work at satsfactory wages, may also be Induced to Jon the pckng army. It has been suggested that the schools mght be opened later ths year so that boys and grls can be sent to the orchards, but ths wll not be necessary In all cases. One very good source of pckers can be found among the women's organzatons of ths country, whch are all keenly nterested n helpng n any practcal patrotc work. Mnch s heard about the scarcty of labor, but there s not as great a scarcty as most people magne. Workers upon whom the farmer depends n ordnary tmes have smply been shfted nto other occupatons, and war condtons demand tbnt busness men Step In, locate other classes of workers who can be shfted to the orchards for ths emergency and see that the farmer has plenty of help. There wll probably be some dffculty n harvestng the apple crop wth these volunteer workers, many of whom have no experence at the work. Pershable frut must be handled carefully to prevent njury to the skn and bruses. These would later cause decay when the apples go nto storage. The prncples of careful frut pckng are very smple, and easly understood. If the fanner can start wth two or three experenced pckers and spend a lttle tme explanng good pckng methods to hs volunteers he should get excellent results, for these volunteers, whle new to the work, wll also be people of good average ntellgence, and the war. emergency wll appeal to ther Interest so that they wll be more than ready to help harvest the crop skllfully. Apple growers are advsed to get In touch wth the busness organsatons n ther nearest town, ask that help be gven n securng pckers and report the number of pckers needed by themselves. One of the greatest dffcultes n organzng harvest hands for any crop Is that of gatherng accurate Informaton as to how many helpers are needed on each farm and n each townshp. For lack of such Informaton It very often happens that one townshp wll be handcapped because tt Is wthout suffcent helpers and a townshp twenty-fve or thrty mles away wll have a surplus of workers. By ascertanng n advance Just how many workers wll be needed n each localty, busness organsatons wn be tble to recrut a suffcent force A GUARANTIED REMEDY FOB HAY fever-asthma Tour._. wthout aoj queaxtoa t ths resody ewh cut or asthma, BTunehle Asthmatc ysaptonu lysaptoa aoooapany matter bow volent the attacks «volent DR.

One of the best wnter bloomng geranums s the Mrs. E. G. Hll. Many old plants should be dscarded and new ones started. Do not let the geranums get leggy. Fnch nto shape. Pnch out ol buds from plants ntended for the wndow garden. Late started plants are not satsfactory. Begn now. Clean, scour, sun and put n place the pots for wnter. Have every vessel clean. Use charcoal In your dranage. Dead coals from wood ashes are us good as any. Repot all plants needng t, cuttng back severely. Don't try to keep everythng. Try to have your plants at ther best when t s tme to take them ndoors. Fnch and prune nto good shape. Get seedlng prmroses from the florst now. Keep them growng and thrfty for wnter bloomng. The perstrophe varegata s a good bracket plant and a free bloomer. For wnter bloomng get dormant tuberous-rooted begonas. Gve each tuber a pot by Itself. If one has no plants, and cannot afford to buy, the seedlngs of many garden plants ore easly cared for, Many are very satsfactory. The Zanzbar balsarn-lrapatens sultana s always n bloom, always beautful, easly cared for. A fne wndow plant.

BENNINGTON. No flower In all the garden seres Is more beloved than the star-eyed dasy. or marguerte. And, perhaps no flower has undergone a more decded Improvement, than ths same flower, whch flls the meadow spaces wth ts noddng whte and n better sol looks stately from the gnrden path. The dasy should have a place n the garden. They make delghtful borders to beds of taller growng annuals and can be used very effectvely n beds of sprng bloomng bulbs. Dases may be sown n March, and later for successon, n shallow boxes of lght, rch sol. Cover the seed to about three tmes ther own thckness and press the sol frmly over them. Keep the box n a warm wndow, greenhouse or hotbed. Transplaat to new boxes and set out n the open ground when danger from frost s past. Dases can be sown n beds outsde n August or September. They must be protected wth straw or ltter through the wnter and transplanted to ther permanent poston n the sprng. The South Afrcan orange dasy has become a great favorte. It was ntroduced a few years ago and has been made much of at the flower shows and s used largely on bg estates. It s excellent for borders and as a pot plant. GARDEN NOTES. If the garden has been thoroughly cultvated early n the season, there s lttle weedng to be done. Yet, a few late weeds wll strve for supremacy f not conquered. One of the most persstent now, us earler, s the chck weed, whch grows n such dense masses as to choke out everythng else. Keep t cleaned out. If thrown Into a ple t wll be decomposed In a few weeks nto a lght sol rch n humus. If the cabbages are slow about headng, or the heads lack frmness, sprnkle wth salt and water. Ths wll also tend to.kep the worms down. Because you have plenty of land, do not thnk t s of no value. Have you used your garden \o the utmost capacty? Intensve gardenng has already coroe where there Is most proft n the occupaton. If you have not appled ths prncple, see how you can get more out of the ground. He Settled It.

"You don't need to understand. 1 know what I'm dong. I've thought of a way to save us all." An ncoherent refusal was upon hs lps, but Alalre's face besought hm; t was shnng wth a strange, new ecstasy, and he could not brng hmself to deny her. Of what her plan conssted he had only the dmmest dea, but he assured hmself that t could by no possblty succeed. After all, what dd t matter? he asked hmself. They were trapped. Ths mght serve, somehow, to cheat Longoro, and Alare would be hs wfe. "Very well," he stammered, weakly. "What are you thnkng of?" "I haven't thought t all out yet, but " At that moment Dolores returned, brngng wth her the three blackhalred, black-shawled house servants, bundlng them through the door and rangng them along the wall. Father O'Malley's face was pack* ered; he sad, hestatngly: "My dear madam, ths sn't regular; you are not Catholcs. How can I bless you?" "Yqn can^ marry us legally, just the same, can't'you?" Alare was breathng rapdly, and some part of her eagerness began to thrll her hearers, "Oh yes, but " "Then marry us. And make haste, please! Please 1" Law nodded. He could not speak, for hs mouth was dry. Hs heart was beatng volently; hs temples were poundng; all the blood of hs body seemed centered In hs head. Before the eyes of the four wonderng women Father O'Malley marred them. It seemed to Alare that he would never reach the end, although, n fact, he stumbled through the ceremony swftly. Alare clpped hs last words short by cryng: "Tell these people so that they'll understand what It all means. Tell them to remember they have seen a marrage by the church." The prest dd as he was drected, and hs audence sgnfed ther understandng. Then Dolores led them out CHAPTER XXIII. The Man of Destny. "Now, then, I'll explan," sad Alare, turnng to the men. "Longoro declares he won't have me except as hs wfe, and I thnk he means It. He Is amazngly egotstcal. He has tremendous ambtons. He thnks ths war s hs great opportunty, and he means to be presdent he's sure of t. He loves me, but he loves hmself better, I'm sure. Now, don't you see? He'll have to choose one or the other." Father O'Malley dd not appear to apprecate the full force of ths reasonng. "My dear," he sad, gravely, "he can make you a wdow agan. In such tmes as these men are savages." "Oh f but that's not all." Alare turned to her newly made husband. 'They let you n, and they'll let you out agan If you go quckly, before It's known what' we've done." Dave stared at her n bewlderment. "I? I go, and leave you?" He seemed doubtful of her santy. "Yes." When he laughed shortly, Alare cred: u Dave, you must I Don't you see what Tn drvng at? If he can't marry rae, If he fnds you're gone and he can't lay hands on you, what can he do but let me go? Dave dear, for my sake, for.the sake of us both " "You're excted," he told her, and drew her to hmself gently. "Please 1 Please I" she Implored. "You don't know that man," sad Father O'Malley, wth convcton, But Alare Inssted, half hystercally now: "I do; that's Just t, I do know frftp He s plannng the greatest thngs for hmself, hs head Is In the clouds, and he daren't do the thngs he used to do. That's why I called la those women as wtnesses. He can't pot them oat of the way* Wth Dave gout m be safe, Ee can't Ignore our mar* rtage. Bat otherwse There's no tellng what be may do.

Get me a gnn and 1*11 shoot my way oat Well go antl they stop ms. Bat don't ask me tc leave yon." She searched hs face eagerly, pteously, then wth a quverng sgh relaxed her tenson. '"Then we've only made matters worse. You've spoled our only chance." Father O'Malley, who had been lost In thought, spoke up agan: "Perhaps you wll let me try my wts. But frst, do I understand that t was he who effected the death of Mr. Austn?" Dave recounted as coherently as he could the crcumstances of Ed's death, and told how he had learned, through Jose, of Longoro's Intentons. As the prest lstened a spot of color grew In hs cheeks, hs eyes,glowed wth ndgnaton. He was about to make known what was In hs mnd when Alare rased her hand and In a straned whsper exclamed: " 'Sh-h! Lsten!" The heavy door of the hacenda creaked, a quck tread sounded on the tles, the door to the lvng room was flung open, and Longoro entered. He was hot and dusty from hs rde, but wth a lover's mpetuosty he had made straght for ths lghted room. For the brefest nstant he balanced hmself just nsde the portal, and the smle remaned fxed upon hs lps. Then hs eyes became rnged wth whte and he made a swft, catlke movement of retreat. Planly ths was the supremest surprse of hs lfetme, and he seemed to doubt hs senses. But he recovered quckly. Thrustng hs head forward, he demanded: "What s ths? You and yon?" He stared from Dave to the prest, then back agan. They all spoke at once, but he heard only Alalre's words: "He came to fnd me." Pancho appeared n the doorway behnd Longoro, sayng, "I heard you rde up, sr, so I ran to tell you about ths fellow." But the general cut hm short. "Call your men, quck," he cred n a voce that sent the solder leapng back Into the nght Alare was clngng to Dave, merely clutchng hm the tghter when he tred to unclasp her hold. Her movement nto the shelter of hs rval's arms n* furated Longoro, who uttered an exclamaton and fumbled uncertanly wth hs holster. But hs fngers were clumsy. He could not take hs eyes from the par, and he seemed upon the pont of rushng forward to tear them apart. "Don't touch her! Don't " he began, cursng n a hgh-ptched voce. "God! What a reckonng!" Then he stamped hs feet, he wrung hs hands, he called shrlly at the top of hs voce: "Leutenant! Ilo, Pancho! You fellows! Quckly!" Under the stress of hs*exctement the femnne sde of hs character betrayed tself. Alare felt her newly made husband gather hmself for a sprng; he was mutterng to her to release hm; he was tryng to push her asde, but she held fast wth the strength of desperaton. "You can't harm us," she declared, flngng her words defantly at the Mexcan. "You dare not You are too late. Father O'Malley has just marred us.**" Longoro uttered a pecular, wordless cry of dsmay; hs mouth fell open; hs arms dropped; he went lmp all over, paralyzed momentarly by surprse and horror; hs eyes troubled; he swayed as f hs sght had blurred. "I sad Fd never marry yon,'* she rushed on, vbrantly. "Ths s the man I love the only man. Yes, and Pve learned the truth about you, I know who klled Mr. Austn.** Longoro dd a very unexpected -thng then; slowly, unconscously, as If the movement were the result of a halfforgotten tranng, he crossed h«*««f, But now from the hall at hs back came the poundng of boot-beela, and a half-dozen pantng troopers tumbled through the door. He wared them back tad out nto the hau agan. Father O'Malley, who had been tryng to make hmself heard, stepped In front of the general and sad, solemnly : "Take care what yon do, Longoro. I have marred these people, and you can't undo what I have done. We an Amercan ctzens. The laws of dvmv raton protect us." The Mexcan fought for hs voce, then stammered: "Yon Ire my prest; I brought you here. I offered to marry her. Now you force me to damn my soul.** Turnng hs ayes wldly upon Alare, be shouted: Too late, eh? PINCKNEY DISPATCH. You say I am too late! It seem* that I am barely la tme." Dave added hs words to the others: "You are lea to one', but you can't have her," he cred, defantly. "Jose Sanchez confessed to the murder uf Mr. Austn, and told how you had got Mrs. Austn to come here. The whole thng s knowu n Washngton and Mexco Cty by ths tme. The newspapers httve t;.everybody knows you are keepng her as your prsoner, and thut I have come for her. If she s harmed, all Mexco, all the world, wll know that you are worse than a murderer." Longoro reached behnd hs buck and slammed the door n the faces of hs lstenng men. "What s ths? What dd Jose confess?" he Inqured, sharply. "He swears you hred hm." "Bah 1 The word of a pelador." In spte of the man's contemptuous tone Dave saw tm* expresson n hs face and made a quck decson. "There's a lmt to what you dare to do, Longoro. I'm unarmed; I make no resstance, so there s no excuse for volence. I surrender to you, and -lam protecton for myself and my wfe." But Longoro wus not to be trcked. "Good!" he cred, trumphantly. "1 have been lookng forward to somethng lke ths, and I shall gve myself a great pleasure." He lad a hand upon the door-knob, bet before he could turn t the Catholc prest had hm by the arm, and wth u strength surprsng n one of hs stature wrenched hm away. Father O'Malley's face was whte and terrble; hs voce was deep, menacng; the hand he rased above Longoro seemed to brandsh a weapon. "Stop!" he thundered. "Are you a madman? Destructon hangs over you; destructon of body and soul. YOu dare not separate those whom God hath joned." "God! God!" the other shrlled. "I don't beleve n hm. I am a god ; 1 know of no other." "Blasphemer!" roared the lttle man. "Lsten, then. So surely as you harm these people, so surely do you kll your earthly prospects. You, the frst man n Mexco, the dctator ndeed! Thnk what you are'dong before t Is too late. Is your dream of greatness only a dream? Wll you sacrfce yourself and all your aspratons n the heat of ths unholy and Impossble passon? Tonght, now, you must choose whether you wll be famous or Infamous, glorous or shameful, honored or dshonored! Restran your hatred and conquer your lust, or forego forever your dreams of empre and pass nto oblvon." "You are a meddl&r," Longoro stormed. "You make a loud nose, but I shall rd Mexco of your knd. We shall have no more of you prests." Father O'Malley shook the speaker as a parent shakes an unruly chld. "See! You have completely lost your head. But I want you to lsten to what I am sayng. Whether you are more good than evl, God must Judge, but the people of Mexco are good people, and they wll not be ruled by a man who s wholly bad. You have the power to remove ths man and ths woman, yes, and ths prest who dares to pont out the pt at your feet; but If you do you wll never command another Mexcan army. There s no war. We nre not your enemes. The world knows we are here, and t holds you accountable for our safety. Tomorrow you wll have to face the reckonng." Longoro lstened. It was plan that he recognzed the truth of O'Malley's words, but he was convulsed wth rage. "Good!" he cred. "I see my dreams dssolve, but I am not the frst great man to trade an empre for a woman. Antony, the Roman general, lad hs honor n a woman's arms. I - had a shnng destny, but Mexco wll be the sufferer by my betrayal. Instead of Longoro the Delverer, I shall be known as Longoro the Lover, the man who gave all " O'Malley Interrupted forcefully. "Enough of ths! Come wth me. I have somethng more to say to you." He flung open the door nto the hall and, takng the general by the arm, farly dragged hm from the room and nto the one opposte. The leutenant and hs men looked on n amazement shufflng ther feet and shftng ther rfle-butts nosly upon the floor. Alare turned an anxous face to Dave, sayng: "He Is wonderful. Longoro s almost afrad of hm." "Yes; he may brng hm to hs senses. If he doesn't " Dave cast hs eyes desperately over the room, conscous all the tme that he was beng watched wth suspcon by the men outsde., He strred restlessly and mostened hs tps. "Longoro would be crazy to Injure you." Ten mnutes passed; ffteen. Alare leaned, motonless, aganst the table; Dave paced about, followed by the eyes of the solders. One of the latter truck a match* and In the alenee It sounded lke a gunshot Dave started, at whch the solders laughed. They began to talk n murmurs. The odor of cgarette smoke, drfted n to the man and the woman. Fnally the door through whch Father OllaUey and Longoro had pasted opened, and the prest emerged. He was alone. Hs face was flushed and damp; hs eyes were glowng. Ue forced the Mexcans out of hs way and, enterng the lvlay room, closed rhe door behnd hm. "Well?" hs two frends questoned, anxously. "I've done all I cun. The rest s out of our hands." The lttle man sat down heavly and mopped hs forehead. "What does he suy?" "He told ue to come here and wat. I never saw a man so torn, so dstracted." "Then he Is waverng. Oh h!" Alare clasped her hands n thanksgvng, but the father cautoned her: "Don't be too sangune. He s not afrad of consequences. He appears to have no conscence. He s wthout mercy and seems lost to shume. I have never met a man qute lke hlra. Dd you know what he feels at ths moment? Chagrn. YeB, mortfcaton rased to the hghest ptch, and a sort of stupefacton that you should prefer another man to hlrn. He can't understand your luck of taste." Father O'Malley smled fantly. "Conceted Idot," Dave growled. "Hs humlaton klls hm. When 1 saw that t was useless to appeal to hm on moral grounds, and that threats were unavalng, I took another course. Somethng gave me nsght nto hs mnd, and the power to talk as I have never talked before. All n a flash 1 saw the man's soul lad bare before me, and I thnk I played upon t wth some cunnng. I don't remember all 1 sad, for I was nspred, but I appealed to hs vanty and to hs concet, and as I went along I Impressed upon hm, over and over, the fact that the world knows we are here and that t trusts hm. He aspres to the presdency ; he beleves he s destned to be Mexco's dctator; so I panted a pcture that surpassed hs own magnngs. He would have been suspcous of mere flattery, so I went far beyond that and nflamed hm wth such extravagant vsons as only a chld or an unblushng egotst lke hm could accept. 1 swelled hs vanty; I nflated hs concet. For a moment, at least, I lfted hlra out of hmself and rased hm to the heghts." From beyond the closed door came Longoro's voce, ssung some command to hs men. A moment passed; then he appeared before the three Amercans. He seemed taller, thnner, more erect and hawklke than ever, Hs head was held more proudly and hs chest was fuller. A set, dsdanful smle was graven upon hs face. He began by addressng hs words drectly to Alare. "Senora," he sad, "I am a man of deep feelng and I scorn decet. Therefore I offer no apology for my recent dsplay of emoton. If I have seemed to press my advances wth undue fervor, t s because, at heart, I am as great a lover na I am a statesman or a solder. But there are other thngs than love. Nature consttuted me a leader, and he who clmbs hgh must clmb alone. I offered Chapultepec as a shrne for your beauty. I offered to share Mexco wth you, and I told you that I would not be content wth less than all of you. Well, I meant t. Otherwse I would take you now." Hs voce throbbed wth a sudden ferce desre, and hs long, lean hands closed convulsvely. "You must realze that I have the courage and the power to defy the world eh?" He seemed to challenge denal of ths stnu-'mfnt, but, recevng none, he went on, fxng hs brllant, feversh eyes once more upon Alare. "As a man of sentment I sm unque; I am dfferent from any you have ever known. I would not possess a flower wthout ts fragrance, You dd not beleve me when I told you that, but I nra goln# to prove t. AH your lfe you are gong to thnk of me as heroc. Perhaps no patrot n hstory ever made a more splendd sacrfce for hs country than I make now. Some day the world wll wonder how I had the strength to put asde love and follow the path of duty." Alare trusted herself to ask. "Then we are free to go?" The general's face was sw?pt by a grmace ntended for a smle. "I have ordered your horses to be saddled." Dave, who had wth dffculty restraned hs anger at the fellow's bombast, was upon the pont of speakng when Father O'Malley took the words out of hs mouth : "Would you send ths wnoman out of her own house Into a country lkelke ths? cattle you have already taken ' (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Lawrence Bros, of Vera, Saskatchewan, are looked upon as beng amongst the most progressve fanners n Western Canada. They have hud ther "ups-and-downs," and know what t Is to be n tght pnches. They persevered, and are now In an excellent fnancal poston. Ther story s an nterestng one. Comng In from the states they traveled overland from Calgary across the Battle rver, the Red Deer rver, through the Eagle Hlls and on to Battleford. On the way ther horses were stolen, but ths dd not dshearten them. They had some money, wth whch they bought more horses, and some provsons. When they reached Battleford they had only money enough to pay ther ferrage over the Saskatchewan rver, and ths they had to borrow. It was n 1908 that they fled on homesteads, havng to sell a shotgun for ten dollars In order to get suffcent money to do so. Frank Lawrence says : "Snce that tme we have acqured altogether a secton and a half of land, n addton to rentng another three quarters of a secton. If we had to sell out now we could probably realze about $50,000, and have made all ths snce we came here. We get crops In ths dstrct of from 30 to 35 bushels of wheat to the acre and oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre. Stock here pays well. We have 1,700 sheep, 70 cattle and 60 horses, of whch a number ere r mstered Clydes." Smlar successes mght be gven of the experences of hundreds of farmers throughout Western Canada, who have done comparatvely as well. Why should they not dress well, lve well, have comfortable homes, wth all modern equpments, electrc lght, steam heat, pure ventlaton, and automobles. Speakng of automobles t wll be a revelaton to the reader to learn that durng the frst half of 1917, 16,- 000 automoble lcenses were Issued In Alberta, twce as many as In the whole of In Saskatchewan, 21,000 lcenses were Issued up to the frst of May, In Its monthly bulletn for June the Canadan Bank of Commerce makes specal reference to ths phase and to the general prosperty of the West n the followng: "Generally speakng the western farmer Is, In many respects, In a much better poston than htherto to Increase hs producton. Two years of hgh prces for hs products have enabled hm, even wth a normal crop, to lqudate a substantal proporton of hs llablltjes and at the same tme to buy Improved farm machnery. Hs prosperty Is reflected In the demand for buldng materals motor cars and other equpment. It Is no doubt true that Home extravagance Is evdenced by the astonshng demand for motor cars, hut It must be remembered that many of these cars wll make for effcency on the fnrm and economze both tme and labor."

Emphass was gven to the hopeful vew by Italan success on both fronts n AUHtrta. The great Austran drve whch began n Aprl and alme<j at the expulson of nvadng armes from Trentuo had been checked. Ths was a negatve vctory because the Austran spols had been heavy uud the 'demand on Italan troops had nterfered wth Italy's aggressve movements n the south, where the objectve of the Italans was Treste. The fortfed town of Gortz burred the way from- the Iso«*e rver toward Treste, and after a long and costly sege t fell on Aug. 9. Stll further progress of the alled cause n the southeastern feld lad fresh emphass to Von Hndeuburl's asserton that the war n-ust be fought-out n Tl>e east. Russa was makng headway n Asa Mnor, marchng from bases n her home terrtory, wth her armes backed up by her own flret on tle Black sea. Ths was really a strategc extenson of her new lne n Bnkowna and Galca. Roumana Attacks German Rear. As matters stood then, the thrd year opened wth a serous outlook for Germany. Verdun was untaken, and the alles had stormed the thrd German lne on the Somme front, Rrus- 1 eft's Russan column had ndeed been checked on the Stokhod and Dnester, but Its presence that far south on the road to Hungary compelled Austra to keep a strong force north of the Carpathan mountans. Then cante a blow whch lfted the hopes of the alles to the hghest ptch Roumana turned upon the Teutons. The stuaton at that tme was as follows: The bellgerents were at a deadlock on the Somme lne, the Italans n Gortz, the supposed key to Treste, and the alled column from Salonk movng north nto Macedona to strke Bulgara n the rear was makng progress For the moment t seemed the alles had the advantage n that zone where the decson was to be reached the near east. Between Two Fres. It was alleged that Roumana would add^loo.000 men to the enemes of Germany. Roumana's frst movo scored a tactcal vctory. Her troops crossed the fronter northward nto Transylvana, where they wore joned by a Russan column, whch mnrched westward, far off on the southeastern flank of the Germans on the Dnester. Forcng the mountan passes, the Roumanans captured Kronstadt and Orsova, but the trumph was not for long. A column of Bulgars, Germans and Turks, led by Von Mackensen, crossed the Danube from the south Into Roumana. takng 20,000 prsoners ll the frst blow. Almost smultaneously Van Falkenhayn's mxed army of Germans and Aust'Ums drove down from the north upon the nvadng Roumanans, captured passes n ther rear nnd destroyed ther armes. Kronstadt was recaptured. Ry the mddle of October the Roumanans were n full retreat back over tfodr border on the north. On the south the Germnas had captured the man Roumanan pert of Constanza, forced the enemy to evacuate Cemavodn, ol the DanulK?. and destroyed the brdge. Collapse of Roumana. Wth the excepton of a weak support by her nearest ally, Russa. Roumana got no drect help. Early n November the alles launched a new jrrand attack on the Somme, and Franco-Servans attacked Monastr, on the southern front. But nether of these dversons checked Gorman progress In Ruumnnu. The uorthern column, comng down from Austra-under Yon Falkenhayn, moved southeast nto Roumana and met a composte force of Bulgars, Turks and" Germans whch Von Mackensen was leadng northwest, ffty mles west of the Roumanan captal, Bukharest, In van Russa began a new drve n the Carpathan^, The Roumanans, strong n numbers, but weak In resstng power, were overcome, and In the last week of 1916 the Teutons were In Bukharest Amerca In the War. Two events of sudden development n the thrd year of the war may have a decdng nfluence namely, the entrance of the Unted States as an ally of the entente powers and the collapse of Russa's aggressveness. Durng the early months of the year the submarne dspute between ths country and Germany queted down. A C boat brought the war nto western Atlantc waters by snkng neutral shps off Nantucket shoals n October, but the German pledge to safeguard neutral lve* was observed. On Dec. 12 Germany and her alles, Austra, Bulgara and Turkey, proposed peace negotatons, namng the Unted States as one of the ntermedares. On the 18th Presdent Wlson sent a note to all bellgerents askng them to name ther terms. Meanwhle the alles repled to Germany, declnng a conference, and Germany repled to Wlson, evadng the ueetlon «f terms and puttng off the* dlhoussot ef permanent peace ttut) the end of the war. In January Presdent Wlaou revved nterest Xa fee subject of peace by out- lnng a PIMU for a peace league, makng "peace wthout vctory," "consent of the governed" and a "world Monroe doctrne" the fundamentals for a world peace. Whle the whole world «a» dscussng ths turn of affars Germs"y nformed neutrals on Jan. &1 that submarne warfare would be more ruthless than ever. Three days later the German ambassador was gven hs pass>orts, and the presdent nformed congress of.the break and ts causes. Ambassador Gerard receved hs pass ports at Berln Feb v 5, and ou the 10th Germany, through the Swss government, proposed negotaton of the new dspute. Ths the Unted States declned UMU'SS the new submarne order was wthdrawn. After Yon Bernstorff suled fnd Gerard was ot of Germany the state department dsclosed a German, plot to nvolve the Unted spates wth Japan uud Mexco. War measures followed \ rapdly. Congress expred March -1 ; wthout ndorsng UK* presdent's "arm- I I'd neutralty" polcy. A specal sesson j of the new congress was summoned to tneel Aprl 'J, and meanwhle the presdent ordered armed guards placed on our merchant shps voyagng abroad.

The Russan Setback. Durng the efforts to secure a dplomatc peace Russa stood frm. The duma rejectedgermany's proposals,and the Imperal government ndorsed Wlson's peace league note. Russan support of Roumana had never been strong and entrely dropped away n the wnter. It seemed that Russa was powerless. A revoluton n whch the troops and ther generals fgured deposed the czar the mddle of March, and there began a state of mltary ndecson and nactvty whle factons contended for poltcal control at Petro* grad.

These frank dsclosures caused surprse and deep anxety on ths sde of the ocean, the more so because the ruthless U boat operatons, whch begrun n February, had been more destructve than expected by the alles. although ther toll bad fallen far short of Germany's estmate 1,000,000 tons per month. The destructon of freght shps vared from week to week durng March, Aprl and May, but the total was so great as to forebode dsaster unless the evl was speedly suppressed.
