Ignoring the loot upon hit fat* she
turned toward me, impetuously waved
aside the fellows who ret bold me

as If by accident, our eyes met, and
a sudden flush swept across her
throat and cheeks.
"It is my turn now." she whispered
softly, so softly the words did not car?
ry beyond my own ears. Then . he
stood erect between us, aa thougu in
bar own drawing room, and gravely
presented us to each other, as if she
dared either to quarrel longer in her
presence. ?

We bowed to each other as men

over

resist, but even as I did so my eyes
fell upon a slight opening In the wall,
end I caught a quick glimpse of Beil?
gay's face, Lie finger to his lips. Xven
aa I gnaed In astonishment at this
sudden apparition, a lighter touch
rented pleadingly on my arm.
"Do not struggle any longer, Captain
Wayne," spoke Mrs. Brennan's voice,
gently. "1 will go to General Sheridan
myself, and tell him the entire story."
I bowed to her, and hold out my
hands to be bound.
"I yield myself yonr prisoner,

unc onscious that her giinee sank be?

CHAPTER X.
A Women's Tenderneee
Youth Is never largely given to re.
flection, which la the gift of years;
and although my life had la a measure
?rendered me more thoughtful than I
> might have proven under ordinary
conditions, yet It Is to be frankly con
fesssd, by one desirous of writing
geerely the truth, that I generally
acted more upon Impulse than reason.
As I stood forth In the sunlight of
that loasly mountsla road, my hauds
securely bound behind my back, the
end of the rope held by one of my
captors, while his fellow laened lastly
upon bis gun and watched us, I
thought somewhat deeply over the slt
uetion end those peculiar clrcum
stanoee leading up to It
Under other conditions I might have
fait tempted to enter into con versa
Uoa with my guards, who. as i now
perceived, ware fer from being the
rough banditti I had at first tmsgtned.
Judging from their facea and language
i they were Intelligent enough young
fellows, such as I had often found In
the rente of the Federal army. But
1 res Used they could aid me little.
If any. la the one thing I most de?
sired to know, and even If they could,
a sense of delicacy would have caused
me to hesitate In asking those per?
sonal questions that burned upon my
lips. My deep and abiding respect for
\ this woman whom I bed so strangely
i net, sud with whom 1 had attained
I some decree of Intimacy, would never
permit or my discussing her. oven In?
directly, with private soldiers behind
the back of their officer. Every sense
of honor revolted at such a thought.
Kot through any curiosity of mine,
however justified by the depth of my
own feeling, should, she be made the
subject of idle gossip about the camp
fire4.'
For, In truth, at this time, unhappy
aa my own situation undeniably was,?
end as a soldier I realized all its
dangers,?I gave it but little considera?
tion. Usually quick of wit, fertile la
expedients, ever ready to take ad?
vantage of each opportunity, I had
taken stock of all my surroundings,
yet discovered nowhere the slightest
opening for escape. The vigilance of
the guard, as well as the thorough
manner In which 1 was bound, rend?
ered any such attempt the merest
madness. Realising this, with tha
fatalism of a veteran 1 resigned myself
In all patience to what must be.
Then It waa that other thoughts
came surging upon me la a series of
Interrogatories, which no knowledge I
possessed could possibly answer. Who
was this proud, womanly woman who
called herself Edith Brennen? She
had been at some palm to Inform me
thai the was married, yet there waa
that abopt her?bar bearing, her man?
ner?which I could not in the leaet
reconcile with that thought. Her ex?
treme youthfulnesa made me feel It
Improbable, and the Impression re?
mained with me that the Intended to
Snaeke some explanation of her words,
.wten the coming of Bungsy Inter?
rupted ua. How they might be ex
Ined I could not imagine; I merely
uggled against accepting what I
longed to hellere untrue. And this
mal f this Federal major, bearing the
samjs name, whom she called Frank,
who waa he? What manner of rela?
tionship existed between them? In
their meeting and short intercourse
I had noted severe? things which told
me much?that *Oe (eared, respected,
valued him, and that he wee not dal*
?wayed by, hut Intensely jealous of
any rival in, her good opinion. Tai
their unexpected meeting waa scarcely
that of husband and wife. Waa he
the one she sought In her night ride
from one Federal camp to another?
if so, waa he brother, friend, or hus?
band? What waa tha boad of union
existing between theee two? Every
word spoken made me feer the last
must be the true solution. ,
?Such ware some of the quojjlee m
silently struggled with/and they;weriT
rendered more acute by that deepen?
ing Interest which I now confessed to
myself I wee feeling toward her who
inspired them. It may be fashionable
nowadays to sneer at love, yet certain
it Ja, tfce^Anue personality of vttyg
Edith Brenken had reached and in?
fluenced me in those tew houjt we
had been thrown together as that dsV
no other woman had ever done, Pos?
sibly this wee so because the long
years in camp and field bed kept me
isolated from all cultured and refined
womanhood. This may, Indeed, have
ckused me to be peculiarly susceptible
to the beeuty and purity of this one.
I know not; I am content to give
facta, and leave philosophy to others.
My Ufa has ever been one of action, of
lntsuie feeling; end there In the road
that day, standing bareheaded igt the
sun, I was clearly conscious of but
one ohengaleaa fact, that I loved Edith
Brennen with every throb of my
hvert, end that there was enmity, bit?
ter end unforgiving, between me and
the man within who bore her name.
Whatever he might be to her I re?
joiced to know that he hated me with
all the unreasoning hatred of Jealousy.
I had read It in hit eyee, in his words,
in hla manner; and the memory of its
open manifestation caused me to
smile, as I hoped for an hour when
we should meet alone and face to
face. How she regarded him I was
unable es yet to tell, but his love for
her wee plainly apparent In every
glance and word.
As I was thus thinking, half in
despair and half in hope, the two
came out from the house together;
and it pleased me to note how imme?
diately her eyes sought for ma, and
how she lifted her hand to shade them
from the glare of the sun, so thet
she might sea more clearly Her com?
panion appeared to Ignore my pres?
ence utterly, end gated anxiously up
and down the road aa though search?
ing for something.
"Peters," he asked sharply of the
fellow on guerd, "where are Sergeant
Steele and the rest of the tquad?"
The soldier eddreeeed sainted in a
manner that convinced me he was of
the regular service.
"They are resting out of the sun
In that clump of buehes down the hill,
air."
Bronnen glanced In the direction in?
dicated.
"Ve>y well." he said. "Take your
prise ut down there, end tell the
Sergeant to preae on at once toward
the lower road. We shall follow you,
and the lady wUl ride hla horte."
The man turned, and with peremp?
tory gesture ordered me forward. As
I drew closer to where the two welted
beside the open door, I lifted my bead
proudly, determined that neither
should perceive how deeply I felt the
humiliation of my position. As I thus
passed them, my eyes fixed upon the
shining roed ahead, my ears caught
e word or two of Indignant expottula
tlon from her llpt.
"But, Prank, It it positively shame?
ful in this sun"
He laughed lightly, yet his answer
came to me to all clearness of ut?
terance I believed he wished me to
overbear the words "Oh. 1* will only
prove of benefit to bis u sins. If by
rare chance be possesses si r "
I glanced aside and ssw her turn
i lustantl) and face him, L*r eyee

Hrlll!**
As she spoke, her voice fairly trem?
bling with interne feeling, eke stepped
backward out of sight into the house.
Another instant and she reappeared,
sweeping past him without so much as
a word, and bearing In her hand my
old campaign hat, came directly up to
ue,
"Sentry," she said In her old Im?
perious manner, "I desire to place thin
kat on the head of your prisoner."
The fellow glanced uneasily over hie
shoulder at the seemingly unconscloue
officer, not knowing whether it were
better to permit the act or get, but
she waited for no permission.
"Captain Wayne." ehe said, her
rolce grown kindly in a moment, and
her eyee frankly meeting wins, "you
will pardon such liberty, I am sure,
but it le not right that you should be
compelled to march uncovered In this
sun."

What Prohibition Has Bone in Kan?
sas.
(From The Adult Student.)
Hon. John S. Dawson, Attorney
General of Kansas, delivered an ad?
dress at Chicago, April 1912, on
"What Prohibition Has. Pone for
Kansas." The constitutional amend?
ment prohibiting the manufacture and
.sah- in the State, of intoxicating li?
quor except for medical, scientific and
technical purposes was adopted. in
November, 1880. It , has therefore,
been in operation long enough to
I afford a reasonable test of the. effects
of State-wide Prohibition. Mr. Haw
son acknowledges thai for quite a
number of years the law was open
, ly defied in many of the larger towns!
and cities, it took a long and bitter
fight for the people of Kansas to con
vince the law defying liquor interests
that they were really in earnest about
banishing the infamous traffic from
their State. But they are convinced
at last and for some time the pro?
hibition laws of the State have been
as consistently enforced as those
uguinst other common forms of crim?
inal conduct. In estimating the results
of prohibition, however, allowance
must be made for the delay occasion
04 by this protracted battle against
anarchy, and yet, in spite of this,
these results, as summed up by the
Attorney General, are thoroughly
convincing. Here are a few of the
more important of them:
1. Illiteracy has been reduced from
49 per cent to less*than 2 per cent
and this is confined almost entirely to
the foreign element in the southeast
portion of the State.
2. Eighty-seven of the one hun?
dred and five counties of the State
have no insane, flirty-four have no
I feeble minded, and ninety-six have
[no inebriates. There is only one
pauper in every three thousand popu?
lation. Thirty-eight poor farms have
no inmates. In July 1911, fifty-three
county jails were empty, and sixty
; five counties had no prisoner serving
sentence; some counties have not call?
ed a jury to try a criminal case In
ten years, and a grand jury is so un?
common that half the people would
not know what it is.
3. In 1880 the bank savings in
Kansas were $30 000,000; today they
are $200,000,000. The State is now
the richest per capita in the Union,
the average wealth being $1,700,
whereas the average for the nation
is only $1,200. Missouri, which ad?
joins Kansas and is rich in natural
resources, has an average of less than
$300. During the panic of 1907 Kan?
sas sent $50,000,000 to New York to
relieve the money market, while Mis?
souri sent nothing.
4. In 1880 the death rate in Mlch
i igan, Wisconsin, Iowa und Kansas was
I practically the same, seventeen to the
! thousand. Since then the death rate
of Kansas has gradually fallen till it
i is now only seven and one-half, while
that of the other States bus slightly
! increased.
5. The per capita cost of intoxi?
cating liquors in Missouri is $24; in
Kansas is $1.48.
I 0. It has demonstrated that the
I saloon is not a business, but a parasite
on business.
7. It has taken politics out of the
I saloons and the saloons out of poll
tics. Every political party In Kun
sas now stands for prohibition, and
keeping joints, dives, and brothels out
Of cities Is as much the business
policy of the average city as keeping
the streets clean, water pure, and the
public parks attractive.
In answer to the question as to the
relative value of prohibition and
high license as a means of abolishing
the evils of Intoxicating liquors, Mr.
Dawson says: There is no relative
value. High license is not a means
of abolishing the evils of Intoxicating
liquors. The only solution of the li?
quor problem Is its total suppression.
High license is first of all a confession
thai the liquor business is a bad busi?
ness. It is ;i bad business, and a tax
upon it bad business, a cruel, vicious
and Wicked business, means that the
state says to the rum seller: You are
< orruptlng the morale of my people,
you are undermining the manhood
of my young men, yon are lobbing
the checks of my young women <d
their bloom, you arc poisoning the
-???">? :.l 'f t 14?. HMtM ?#???> 1? ? j
blood of my babies, you are wreck- j
ing my homcH, MAV^M^'M^i^d
furnishing a spawn for the brothel.
Toil are at the back of the villanies
of the age, and are turning my people
Into drunkards, lunatics, and suicides,
and you make a very large amount of
money out of this infamous business,
and I shall require you to stand and
deliver to me a very considerable por?
tion of this dirty money which you
are making in this villainous fash?
ion."
Does prohibition prohibit? "Of
course not," answers Mr. Dawson.
"Neither does a gun shoot, nor a ship
sail, nror a piano make music of its1
I own accord. It takes a man behind
ithe gun to make it shoot, a sailor to
jsail the ship, and an artist to play the!
\ piano; so, too, with the prohibition
law. It will sleep away the years inj
? the musty tomes of a law book and
I never prohibit anything unless there
are faithful executives behind it." It
[has been shown in Kansas, he declares^
, that it can be enforced even in ;i
;community where popular sentiment:
|ls against. "It takes jut three men,"
he Bays, "to do it, a jud^e, a sheriff,!
and a prosecuting attorney. These j
l men and no more, who fear God and j
I nobody else, and determined to en-!
, force the law?not all the saloon j
I keepers and brewers and all their (
followers and sympathizers can pre-,
vail against them. Most important of
these three is t lie jjudge, and that is
the officer to whom the liquor Inter?
ests give the mofct attention and the ,
temperance peopbB the least. You
must have a fudges or your law en?
forcement ie befand to be inefficient.''
