mient ini his br'east, tor he lived a self
centered life, considering himself the
pivot upon which revolved all the af
fairs of his little wvorld. To feel that
he had lost even the power to mallke

overestimated his importance,.
At length, having sufficiently recoy
ered lisa health to begin drinking'ngain,
he yielded one evening to an alcoholie

impulse, and, Just as Alaire bade him
good night, clumsily sought to force
an explanation.
"See here !" he shot at her. "What's
the matter with you lately?" He saw
that he had startled her, and that she
muatde an effort to collect her vander
lug thoughts. "You're about as warm
and wifely as a stone idol."
"Am I any different to what I have
al!ways been?"
"Iutlph ! You haven't been exactly
sympathetlic of late. Here I come home
silek, ui you treat me like one of the
help. Don't you think I have feelings?
Jove ! I'm lonesome."
Alaire regarded him speculatively,
then shook her head as if in answer to
some thought,.
In an obvious and somewhat too mel
low effort to bO.friendly, Ed continued:
"Don't let's go on like this, Alaire. You
blame me for going away so much, but
when I'm home I feel like an inter
loper. You treat me like a cow-thief."
"l'm sorry. I've tried to be every
thing I should. I'm the interloper."
"Nonsense ! If we only got along
loget her as well as we seem to from I he
OUtside, it wouldn't be bad at all. But
you're too severe. You seem to think
n man811 should be perfect. Well, none
of us are, antd I'In no worse than the
majority. Why, I know lots of fellows
who forget themselves and do things
hey shouldn't, but they don't mean
inything by it. They have wives andt
mmes to go to when it's all over. But
lave I? You're as glad to Bee me as
f I had smallpox. Maybe we've made
i mes. of things, but married life isn't
vhat young girls think it is. A wie
oust learn to give and take."
"I've given. What have I taken?"
he asked him in a :olen that quivered.
1Ed made an impatient gesture. "Oh,
kon't be so literal I I mean that, since
ve're man and wife, it's up to you to
>e a little more--broad-gauge in your !
'lews."
"In other words, you want me to ig
tore your conduct. Is that it? I'm
ifraid we can't argue that, Ed."
"All right; don't let's try to argue
t." he laughed, with what he consid
?red an almirable show of magnanim
ty. "I hate arguments, anyhow ; I'd
nuch rather have a good-night kiss."
But when lie stooped over her Alaire
ield him off and turned her head.
'No !" she said.
"You haven't kissed mnc for-"
"I don't wish to kiss yotl."
"Don't be silly," he insisted. "Come,
tow, I want a kiss."
Alaire thrust him hack strongly, and
1e saw that her face had whitened.
)ddly enough, her stubbornness an
erel him out of all reason, and he
wegan a harsh remonstrance. But he
mited's when she cried:
"Wait ! I must toil you something,
i'h. It's all over, and has boon for a
bong tihue. We're going to end it."
''End it?''
"We enn't go on living together. Why
shtmtidt we?'"
'S''? Dilvorce? Is that it?"

very bright as she said: "I wonder ?iow
I have managed to live with you as
long as I have. I knew you were weak,
nasty-so I was prepared for some
thing like this. Hut I never thought
you were a downright criminal until--"
"Criminal? Itot !"
"How about that Guzman affair?
You can't go much lower, Ed, and you
can't keep me1 here with you."
"I can't keep you, eh?" he growled.
"Vell, perhaps not. I suppose you've

I)i(ln't you spend a night with David
Law?" Ile leered at her unpleasantly,
then followed a stop as she drew back.
"Don't you touch me !" she cried.
A fhush was deepening Ed's purple
cheeks; his voice was peculiarly bru
tal and throaty as he said : "The de
cree isn't entered yet, and so long as
you are Mrs. Austin I have rights. Yes,
and I intend to exercise them. You've
ainade me jealous, and-" lie made to
encircle her with his arms, and was
half' successful, but when Alaire felt
the heat of his breath in her face, a
sick loathing sprang up within her,
and, set ling her hack against the wall,
she sent him reeling. Vhether she
struck him or merely pushed him away,
she never knew, for during the instant
"o' their struggle she was blind with in
dignation and fury. Profiting by her
advantage, she d(odged past him, fled to
her room, andu locked herself in.
She heard him muttering profanely;
heard him approach her c:aimber more
than once, then reture uncertainly, b'it
she knew himt too well to he afraid.
Later that night she wrote two let

Jose Saniihez rode to the Morales
house , feeling seme concern over the
summons that took him thither. He
wondered what could have induced
General Longorio to forsake his many
important duties in order to :;ake the
long trip from Nuevo Puebjo ; surely
it could be due to no lack. of real on
his (Jose's) part. No! The horse
breaker flattered himself that lt had
made a very good spy indeed; that he
had been Longorio's eyes and ears so
far as circumstances permitted. Nor
did he feel that he had been lax in
making his reports, for through Rofa
he had written the general several
lengthy letters, and just for good meay
ure these two had conjured up sundr7
imaginary happenings to prove beyond
doubt that Senora Austin was miser
ably unhappy with her husband, and
ready to welcome such a dashing lover
as Longorio. Therefore Jose could not
for the life of him imagine wherein
he had been remiss. Nevertheless, be
was uneasy, and lie hoped that nothing
had occurred to anger his general.
But Longorio, wvhen he arrived at the
meeting-place, was not in a bad humor.
Having sent Rosa away on some er
rand, he turned to Jose with a flashing
smile, and said:
"Well, my good friend, the time has
conme."
Now Jose had no faintest idea what
the general was talking about, but to
b~e called tile goodl friend of so illustri
ous a person was flattering, Ie nod
dod decisively.
"Yes, beyond doubt," he agreed.
The general laid an affectionate hand
upon Jose's shoulder. "The first time
I saw you I said: 'There's a boy after
my own heart. I shall learn to love
that Jose, and I shall put him in the
way of his fortune.' Well, I hlave not
chlangedl my mind, and the time is
come. You are going to help me and I
am going to help you."
Jose Sanchez thrilled with elation
from head to foot. This promised to
b)e the greatest. (lay of his life, and he
felt that he must be dreaming.
"You haven't tired of Rosa, eh? You
still wish to marry her?" Longorlo was
"Yes. But of course I am a poor
man."
"Just so. I shall attendi to that,
Now wve Come to the ob)ject of my visit.
Jfose, I proposed to maklce you rich
enough in one (lay so that you can

One of England's most distinguished
physicians has just rep~orted a valuable
piece of inforamation that lhe learned
from a gossipy old lady who was ad

advice to her' acquaintances, says the
Los Angeles Times. She gave some of
this advice to one of tihe learned physi
cian's patients wvho was suffering from
rhieumatisnm in the hands, suggesting
that tihe patient "put su1lhr in her

ATIATION SERYICE
MEASURE ADOPTED
THE SENATE PA8SE8 HOUSE BILL
WITHOUT AMENDMENT ON
RECORD VOTE.
640,000,000 APPROPRIATED
Only Dispute in Upper House Was
Over Amendment to Strike out
draft Clause-Provides for About
22,000 Airplanes.
W shington.-hie House bill ap
prop iating $640,000,000 for the avia
tion service was passed by the &n
ate without amendment or a record
vote and with less than one hour's
discussion. It now goes to the Presi
dent.
The Senate's only dispute, with
many members expressing a desire to
pass the bill immediately, was over
an amendment by Senator Hardwick,
of Georgia, to strike out a clause au
thorizing drafting of the men for the
aerial service. The amendment was
rejected sixty-seven to twelve after
Senators LaFollette and Gronna made
brief speeches opposing the draft.
Details for plans for expending the
hutge sum appropriated have been
withheld, but it is known that it pro
vides for about 22,000 airplanes and
nearly 100,000 men.
The President is expected to sign
the bill Monday, and the work of
building one o fthe greatest air fleets
the world has seen will be pushed
with vigor. During the first year of
ficials hope to produce at least 3.500
machines, with a great increase the
next year. For the first few months,
virtually the entire attention will be
centered on construction of student
planes, and there has been talk of
bringing British and French aviation
tstudent officers to the United States
for training.
Opposed the Draft:
In rejecting the lardwick amend
ment, the dozen senators voting to
strike out the draft clause were: Bo
rah, Broussand. Curtis. Gore, Gronna,
Hardwick, Kirby, LaFollette, . MsKey
lar, Norris, Owen and Vardaman.
In a vigorous speech opposing the
draft clause, Senator LaFollette said
that any war prosecuted by democ
racy ought to be without compulsory
service.
"Democracy ought never enter a
war that it cannot prosecute with vol
unteers," he said, particularly object.
ing to compulsion for the extra haz
ardous air service.
OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP
PLANS ARE REVISED
Forts McPherson, Logan H. Roots, and
Riley Abandoned,
Washington.-A complete revision
in the plans for location of the sec
ond officers' training camps to open
August 27, has been decided on by the
war department as a result of a re-in
spection of the sites previeusly chosen.
U~nder the new arrangement, there
will be nine camps instead of eight:
Fort McPherson, Ga.; Fort Logan H-.
Roots, Ark., and Fort Rliley, Kan., be
ing dropped froem the list and Platts
burg barracks, New Yor-k: Fort Nim
gara, New York: Fort Snelling, Minn.;
and Fort Sheridan, Ill., added. The
Fort Myer, Va., For-t Oglethorpe, Ga..
Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., Presidio
at San Francisco and Leon Springs,
Texas, designations remain nuchanged
and a reassignment of state personnel
among the various camps has been or
dered.
"Some of the locations originally or
dered are objetionable for various
reasons," saidl a report on the subject
transmitted to Ser-cta ry Baker by Ad
jutant General MeCain. "Fort Mc
Phorson is already overcrowded and
has poor facilities for -training camp
wvork. Fort Logan Hi. Roots is decid
edlly unsuitable and( Fort Riley, Kan.,
is objectionable because of the scat
tering of the buildings; furthermore
it is to become a large cantonment."
