Irene hnd Kcnrehcd London for two
Ireek. The confidence of her earlier
tnqulrlc hnd diminished with each tic-
f jTiTrtTjil VTftiTTow, she" nw Ills 'arms
nlowly extend; they roup, wide nnd
utrong, and extended toward her.
I There was a quirk tep. and they met
Tslv Mind trail, which, promising at ; u,oxlx iVTt Bt)a the world swooned and
finrt, lel her Into a inure of confusion
nd disappointment. Her little atore
Of money wan fast dwindling awny ; Mie
looked Into the fare of every man In
Uniform with a pathetic earnestneM
that more than once caused her to be
tnlsunderMood.
The orgnnlrnton of (he military
ervlre romniunded les enthusiasm
than she felt a tnon;h hefore. She miw
It Kfruggllng with the nppiirently Im
jKiwIMe; It was n though he, In her
Uttli? Ktudlo, Inn liren nuddcnly railed
Upon to pnlnt nil the portraits In the
world. ... In Rome ijcgrce she un
derstood the dilHctiltlcs ; In equal le
frvv the k riipu: with those who
erv utrlvlng to overcome tin-in, nnd
he ht::ig on from day lo day In her
caroli with n digged determination
which Ki t It (colli n gainst admitting
that the search was hopeless.
At Inst one gront fenr hnd aettled
on her heart. Suppose I hive should
not enlist under his rtlit name? In
' such a ense her chance of finding him
was the mere freak of neeldental meet
1ng; a chance nut to he hanked upon
In a country already pwnriiilng with
Its citizen soldiery. . . . And jet
there una nothing to do hut keep mi.
She had sought n pnrk bench where
(roups of soldiers were eonllnuully
moving hy. The lights shone on their
faces, ami her own tired eyes followed
them Incessantly. Always her ear
was alert for n voire that should set
her heart u pounding, and more than
once she had thought she heard that
voice; nmre than a score of times she
had thought she had seen that figure
With 'Its stride of self-reliance, with
fctrenglh bulging In every muscle. And
always It had been to learn that she
hod been mistaken ; always It had been
to feel the heart sink Just a little
. lower than before. And tlll she kept
. There wus nothing to do but keep
uften she wondered how he would
receive her. That cold look which
had froren his features when she
eelred the revolver In his hand, would
It (Still alt there, too distant and de
tached to be even scornful? Would
E!e1iave It to break down? She could
Jiot Vno'w ; she could only hope nnd
iraIHd" grS.Tiil2A?Jr'
. As he turned her eyes to follow a
.lfTOup of men In uniform she became
wtre of a soldier sitting ulone in the
Shadow a short distance away. Sonic:
quality about him caught her atten
tion; his face was not discernible, and
his figure was too much In the shadow
to more than snggost Its outline, but
, the found herself regarding him with
an IntentiRss that set her pulses rac
ing. Should she dare risk It again?
And yet there was something. . . .
She had n sudden plan. She would
tnake no Inquiry, no upology; she
would walk near by and call him by
name. If that name meant nothing to
him lie would not even notice her pres
ence, but If It should be
"Dave," she said.
He turned quickly In his sent ; the
light fell on her face and he saw her;
he was on his feet and bad tuk n a
Step toward her. Then he stopped, and
am m
went by. . . .
"I can explain everything," she paid,
jhen she could talk.
"You need explain nothing," he re
turned. "I have lived the torments of
the damned. Kdlth Duncan was right ;
she said If It were real love It would
never give up. 'Kndureth all things,'
she Bald. 'All things,' she aald. . . .
There Is no limit."
"liut 1 must tell you, dear," she snld,
"so that you may understand." And
then she patched together the story,
from what 'she knew ami from what
Kdlth Duncan bad told her, and Dave
filled In what neither had known, In
cluding the Incident earlier on that
fateful evening. She could see his
Jaws harden jis they pieced the plot
together and she knew what be was
thinking.
"Your country needs you mure," she
whispered. "It Is belter that way. And
what a man you lire In uniform! 1
think I sve you smashing beads Instead
of bottles. Six out of six, Dave! It's
awful, but you must do It. Already we
know what has happened In itelgiuin.
You will forget your own wrongs in
the greater wrongs of others. .
And I shall Join the service us a nurse.
My father was n doctor, and I can
soon pick it up."
She chatted on, but be had become
suddenly grave. "I ilon'j think that Is
your course, Irene," he said. "This Is
going to be a bigger Job than It looked.
The government will get soldiers and
nurses; the popular Imagination turns
to such things. Hut It will be neither
soldiers nor nurses that will win the
war. I feel sure of that now. Millions
of men will be taken from production
and turned to purposes of destruction.
They will be taken from otllces, where
they need little food, ami put In the
trenches, where they need much food.
Countries will be devastated; armies
will retreat, destroying all food as they
go. Ships will go down with" curj5e?
o wiient; incendiary nres wiy, swallow
warehouses of food. I believe my
place Is In the trenches; but those less
lit for the light than I must. In some
form or otlyr, produce food. That In
cludes the women; It Includes you."
"Ve Jluj What CMtl 1 ilo'
"Since I lcfT 1io?iie I'Te thought 8
good deal of the old ranch. I de
spised It in those prosperous days
those days we thought were prosperous
hut the prosperity Is gone and the
ranch remains, It still l.es out there.
Just us it did when you and your father
motored down that afternoon ii dozen
years ago. I think you'll have to go
back there, Kecule. I think you'll
have to U.ko the boy Charlie, and what
other help you can get, and go back to
the old ranch and raise something for
the soldiers to eat. You can do It.
There are good men to be had ; men
who can't very well carry a rifle, but
can drive - a plow. And believe me,
Ileeuie, It's the plow that's going to
win. Cio back und put them at it.
Think of every furrow as another
trench In the defenses which shall save
your home from the fate of Helglum's
homes. It's not as easy as going to
the front ; It hasn't got the heroic ling
to It, and I suppose there nre ninny
who will commercltillxe it. Let them.
We shnll need their profits after the
war to pay our debts. Hut It's the
thing that must be done. And you'll
do it wnnvo'iy',, .iriir'rryrT-
dj whatever needs to be done,
I'd rjiicr te W'ytTuTT.TJ?, TP
as nenT 115 may be, but If you say that
my duty lies back on the old ranch 1
shall go back to the old ranch and
raise food for my soldier. And when
It's till over we shall ride those old
hillsides again. . . . Up the canyon,
you remember, Dave? The little niche

SomeFACTS About
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Here are authentic figures from the ford factory at Detroit.! They
show you just how many Ford cars and trucks have been built each month
since January 1, 1921 and how many have been sold to retail customers,
in the United States.
JANUARY

MARCH
Produced
29.883
35,305
61,886
Delivered to
Retail Customers
57,203
63,603
87,221
Total Production 127,074 Total Retail Sales 208,032
showing that actual sales for the first three months of 1921 exceeded pro
duction by 80,958 Ford cars and trucks !
April requisitions already specify 107,719 additional cars and' tracks
and the estimated April output of the factory and assembly plants com
bined calls for only 90,000!
These facts clearly show that the demand for Ford products is growing
much faster than manufacturing facilities to produce and were it not for
the dealers' limited stocks, which are now being rapidly repleted, many
more customers would have been compelled to wait for their cars. It will
be only a matter of weeks, therefore, until a big surplus of orders will
prevent anything like prompt deliveries.
If you would be stire of having your Ford car or truck when you
want it, you should place your order now. Don't delay. Thone us or drop
us a card. ....
