If you knew," shudderingl, "what I've gone through in the last six months." "I wouldn't think of that now," gent-

ly. "How can I help it? Do you think I can ever get those scenes out of my mind? And last night oh,. I'm through I'm THROUGH! Last night decided it! When he's over this I'm going to leave him," passionately.

"I'm going to make my own living

somehow."

"That's very foolish." Helen strok

ed the hand that had Instinctively clasped hers. "You know he wouldn't

let you go off like that."

"What do you think he said last night?" her eyes ablaze. "That if I

left him he'd never give me a cent

He says that's his hold over me that

I'm afraid to leave him because I can't support myself!" "But he never says those things except when he's drinking?"

"No, but he must think them. Peo

ple dont say things, even when

they're drunk, that haven't been in

their thoughts. Last night be said all

women were parasites that ninetenths of them lived with their husbands because they were too lazy or too incapable to work. That if I wanted my pay I'd have to stick to my

Job!"

"But he wasn't himself," pleaded

Helen. "What he did proved that.'

Then hesitatingly, "How how did it

happen? Was it right after

She nodded. "He came home in an

Even then I wasn't afraid I suppose

what be said but at last he left me

and went b-ck to bis room. Then I heard the shot." She shivered and caught her breath. "I found him lying on the floor, the pistol beside him. Rosa and I got him on the bed and phoned for a doctor It seemed hours before he came. Oh, it was awful, trying to stop the blood! The doctor stayed with him until the nurse came, and I I haven't seen him since." "Has he asked for you?" She nodded. - "And you refused to see him?" "Yes," bitterly. "I never want to see bim again." "Don't you think that's rather hard?" "You wouldn't think so if you knew." A tap on the door and the nurse entered.

"Oh, I can't," recoiling, "I can't! Don't ask me." "I think you should," urged Helen.

A moment's silent struggle with her

bitterness , and outraged pride, then with slow reluctance, Mrs. Colburn rose to follow the nurse.

"Don't go," appeallngly to Helen. "Wait for me." Drawing a chair to the shaded light Helen took up a book. But she could not read; she was picturing the scene in that other room. Fifteen minutes a half hour passed. Then the nurse came in. "He's sleeping now. Mrs. Colburn wants you to come to the door." Helen followed her across the hall to the darkened room. Mrs. Colburn was sitting by the bed, fearing to move lest she awaken her husband, who was now sleeping quietly, one of her hands tightly clasped in his. Her whole faee was softened.- She smiled up at Helen, a tremulous uncertain smile, that seemed to acknowledge her weakness, the weakness of love not of dependency. Very gently Helen closed the door, and, knowing that she was now no

longer needed, went down to her own. apartment. On the hall rack hung one of Warren's overcoats. With a rush of emotional tenderness she buried her face in its rough folds, which held the faint man odor of tobacco and downtown soot. How fine and strong and dependable Warren was! How trivial his faults of irritability and temper now seemed. How MUCH she had how much more than that poor little woman upstairs! From the wide flap pocket she had drawn out a heavy gray glove. Slipping her small hand Into it, she wriggled the long unfilled fingers with a feeling of exultation at Warren's size and strength. He was so big and strong and virile so wholesome and clean habited rubbing her cheek lovingly against the shaggy coat. She had never realized before how deeply grateful she should be that Warren was always that wholesome and clean habited!

1,000 RANGERS READY TO RUN DOWN BANDITS

EL PASO, Jan. 14. As a result of a secret meeting held here today one thousand men were ready this afternoon to enter Chihuahua with bloodhounds to pursue and capture if possible the bandits who massacred the Americans last Monday. Arrangements have already been made for the purchase of machine guns should it be decided to cross the border.

"Mrs. Knolys," began Lawrence i but Mrs. Knolys Ignored him and undulated gracefully across the room to the chair where her velvet cloak was flung In rose-bued splendor, so young Sanbury concluded bis sentence as an

, address to the politely attentive Mr. ; Knolys "considering t" circum

stances, I think it better that I resign the contract for remodeling your house." "Very well then, as, Caroline, if you've quite finished " said Hubert suddenly remarkably ill at ease. Caroline looked up at him with a sweetly helpless expression of a child who has been good in the face of bullying, and who turns now to the kindly protection of her one friend. "Yes, I told Morgan to wait. L'm afraid its raining. Will you please see if the car is at the door?" Hubert studied her for tie moment. He did not quite like her disarmlngly sweet expression it bore too near a tinge of triumph. And then it occurred jto him that triumph was natural. He had so nearly beaten her so nearly won his freedom, and at the last as though all the long years during

which she bad insisted upon keeping up their farce of marriage, Caroline had conquered because of bis one breach of the conventions of marriage. He knew now who had been struck1 by his boomerang. He smiled in acceptance of the defeat that had saved Emily. It seemed ironclad that Emily who had been willing to take nothing from bim, had in the end taken everything from him. But he knew that the price was not too great to pay. The years of her friendship of her uncalculating love were worth it. He caught up his hat and coat and, bidding every one a quiet good night, assumed again the yoke of husbandhood and went to see if the car was at the door. As Caroline followed him slowly to the door she cast a glance pregnant with meaning at Emily, who had crumpled into a chair and was staring ahead with dark eyes that burnt with troublous flame from an ashen face.

HOW DO YOU

(Continued From Page One.) other way can we safeguard our territory and our national honor. The program introduced 'In congress by President Wilson constitutes the demands of the administration. This program is a compromise between the various departments of the government. However, it is clearly not acceptable to many of those who participated in Its preparation. It was not accepted by the war staff or the war college, and military experts believe that it falls short of the requirements of the present time. The plan for establishing a continental army has been particularly criticized, especially by those who believe in rendering more efficient the militia of the vari

ous states. Congressman Augustus P. Gardner of Massachusetts is considered the author of the present movement for national preparedness. He was the first man in congress to agitate the issue and to call attention directly to our dangerous condition of military unpreparedness and naval inefficiency. Gardner's program is declared to be unscientific, but it is at least interesting and suggestive. General Wood, chief of staff of the army, has given particular attention to the more technical and scientific questions involved. The American people have never been instinctively a military class, but Wood has insisted that they should at least know the salient features of the military art. Upon him will devolve the duty of .developing the practical ends of such a program as congress may adopt Chamberlain is Emphatic. Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon is chairman of the senate comImittee on military affairs, and will have charge of the administration measure in the senate. He is essentially militant and believes in maintaining our position regardless of developments. One of the most notable advocates of a rational system of national preparedness is Theodore Burton, former .senator from Ohio, who advocates a constructive policy, perhaps typical of average sentiment, midway between

the extreme tendencies of those who would place us on a war footing and the advocates of peace at any price. Senator Burton has no sympathy with preparation for offensive warfare. He believes in such a degree of preparedness as is essential to our national defense, and opposes the creation of a military spirit which shall dominate all the affairs of our national life. He advocates the enlargement of a regular army and the reorganization and development of the national guard as an effective adjunct to our regular military establishment. He also lays stress upon the need for available officers, thoroughly trained in the theory and practice of warfare. For this reason he advocates enlarging the military and naval academies at Annapolis and West Point, although there is much opposition to such a course: Burton's attitude is of particular interest because he is president of the American Peace society. While he advocates a proper system of preparedness he has not lost sight of the ultimate ideal in the settlement of international disputes b judicial methods. But however varied the views of preparedness leaders, none have lost sight of the more practical question that the United States must be prepared to defend itself against aggression from any source.

Krellln's eyes followed the insolent creature who had hurt his Emmy so and then he spoke his confession of faith. Michael Krellin never would be able to leave well enough alone! His voice rang out in triumph:

"Mrs. Knolys, you have signed this paper. But I wish you to know that for me this was not in the least necessary. I had no belief whatever in your assertions. It was only because they distressed Miss Madden that I exacted this satisfaction." "Quite so." Caroline turned smilingly in the doorway and faced Krellin with inscrutable eyes and twisted red mouth. "It's a pity I can go no further and silence all rumors about a little trip on the Chesapeake Miss Madden made with Mr. Knolys on his yacht" Caroline fixed mercilessly cold eyas on Emily and ripped on in a voice of honey "or any malicius innuendos about my husband's too frequent visits at odd hours to her apartments in East Thirtieth street. . . . Don't

be alarmed. When rumors of this kind come to you, I want you to feel sure that I am always at your service to help you to discredit them." Emily cowered under the lash . of Caroline's carefully managed words of betrayal. Krellin made, for the door with an inarticulate cry mingled with rage and surprise. Caroline watched the baited bull for a second and then flung back a soft "Goodnight" as she closed the door behind her. To Be Continued.

Harrison, of Mississippi, member of the house foreign affairs committee, in a lengthy set speech, defended the Wilson foreign policy in this position. Harrison acting 4t is believed for President Wilson, voiced a vigorous protest against "indiscriminate discussion" of foreign affairs in public, saying it "embarrassed the U.
