Attacka Cordon Plan.
"I Ihitik that wa vtroiKj," Brifj.
Cirn. J4111C .',. JIarl,ord. deputy chief
of f tu If, told the house appropriation!
committee in dcutsing the manner
in which aiiuil detachments of troopi
have been acatiered all the way along
the border. "It i a general military
principle, that, if you are guarding
a line of considerable extent, you
do not attempt to do it by establish
ing a cordon of troops along that
line; that is, on a line like our south
trn border.
"During the war the custom grew
up down there, of establishing small
posts from r.rowusville. all the way
out to the California border. These
little posts were given scmi-pcrma-iictit
construction, with their own
electric lighting system and, in some
case, water systems. It really gave
us what might be called a block
hmi;e system from the mouth of the
Kio Grande on out through Texas
and into Arizona.
Changing System.
"W'e are abandoning the system
rapidly now. Of course the condi
tions there, the morale of the troops,
the housing and related conditions
are Mill showing the effects of that
scattering of troops in very small
posts. If you scatter them, the troop
begins to go down to recruits, and
then. you have a little group of men
.not sufficient for instruction and not
r enough to be of use in case of
emergency."

"I know. I love nhoppii'h. I'll
you nil the best place. We ahaii't
be tble to so to them, of course, but
it'i nice to see them, all the same."
She began to pack up the U
thinn.
I think Mr. Koyston is the kind
est man I ve ever met, tiuaoein
laid.
Nctta put two saucers touether
with rather an unnecessary clatter.
"My dear, everyone loves him!"
she answered. "All the women at
least."
"It's a pity he's married," Eliza
beth said, unthinkingly.
Nctta flushed.
"Vf,tt all cent trt m.lka fnnli of
themselves at some time or another,"
she answered, flippantly.
K.liTahatli wrnt over to the window
and stood looking out into the twi
light street.
"How much do people pay Mr.
Royston for lessons?" she asked sud
denly. Nctta was buxy scraping the jam
dish.
"Three guineas for six lessons as a
rule," she said, absently. "If more
if you want extra special attention
and all the latest fandanglcd steps."
"Three guineas for six lessons!
Then how many lessons does it
take?
"Docs what take?"
"I mean how many lessons should
I want to be able to dance as as
well as you do, for instance?"
Nctta "looked up.
"If you're extra smart you might
do it in three dozen," she said, rather
shortlv. "If vou're a dud. (toodness
only knows how many!"
Three dozen! kiizauctn maae a
slow calculation; three dozen meant
18 guineas. It was not going to
leave much over out of- the 20
pounds for clothes and to pay Mrs.
Silcum.
The next three weeks passed like
a dream to Elizabeth and were the
happiest she had ever known, al
though afterward, when she looked
back on them, they seemed com
posed chiefly pf hard work and dis
appointments, with here and there lit
tle rays of encouragement and hope.
Pat Royston was no longer just
her friend he was her master, re
lentless and determined, allowing no
ctarLnocc in her work, always re
minding her that she was at the very
bottom of the ladder which she was
so ambitious to climb.
There were no wakeful nights tor
her now. At the end of the day she
was always so tired that she fell
asleep as .soon as her head touched
the pillow.
"Are you sorry you started? Nct
ta asked once, looking at Elizabeth's
smile. "I told you what it would be,
you know."
Elizabeth opened her eyes wide.
"Sorry I" Why I've never been so
happy in my life."
Mrs. Mason had not once been
near her, and neither she nor Dolly
had written; for all that either of
them knew, Elizabeth might have
been dead and buried.
And then one day at the end of
three weeks, Royston called Eliza
beth back as she was leaving the
studio.
"I want to speak to you if you
can spare a moment," he said.
Elizabeth turned quickly. "
n T darlfrrl off aeain? she
asked, despondently, Unconsciously
she had begun to aaopi ieui
slangy way of speaking, just as she
hrd begun to copy her manner of
dress and the way in which she did
her hair.
Rovstoh did not answer the ques
tion;" he was looking at Elizabeth
with rather a sorry sort of smile.
"I just wanted to tell you that I
can teach vou no more," he said.
The startled color flew to her. face.
"Not teach me any more! Oh.
what do you mean? What have I
done? I've tried my best; I've done
everything you've told me."
"He smiled. I know., it s not
your fault: it's just that I've taught
r -511 I Vnnw mvself. and that it's
time you went to some one better
than I am a protessionai teacner, u
you ttndearstand what I mean."
Her distressed eyes searched his
face. '
"I don't know what you mean; I
don't want to go to any one else.
I'd much rather stay with you. Of
course, I know I can't pay what
I ought to. I've known that right
from the first, when I found out
what your fees were for ordinary
people But if you'll let me stay
I'll do anything for you. I'm good
enough to teach some of the begin
ners who come, don't you think I
am? Just quite the very beginners?"
"My dear child," Royston said,
gently: '-'that's just it you're too
pood for this sort of life; too clever.
You'll be wasted here. It's all right
for me; I can do nothing else, I
know my own limitations; but you've
got it in you to do better, to do
great things. It wouldn't be fair if
I did not tell you that you must
go on that if you've got the pluck
and patience I am sure you'll make a
great name for yourself, and nobody
will be more proud and pleased than
I shall."
The color had died slowly from
her face; she stood plucking ner
vously at the soft lolds of Tier dress.
"You mean you're sending me
away?" she asked, faintly.
"I mean that for your own good
you must go," he answered, firmly.
"There is a famous French dancer
whom I have spoken to about you
and she is anxious to see you and

"Hut but IV got no money!"

"If 1 Mat not ture that your future

auKget it." he added. "Don't look
o ad. Why, I thought you would
be wdd with excitement."
"So I ant, of course, ! never
thought . . ."
She broke off, unuble to put hrr
thought! into,ord; he only knew
that it meant leaving Royiton, the
oulv friend she had.
"And when when . . he
stammered.
"I have asked Mme. Senesti to let
me take you to her in the morning.
She want to talk to you and re
you dance," He paused, "Well,
aren't you going to ay thank you
verv much?" he aked.
"Of course, only supposing I
fail?"
"You won't fail."
"Vou are very ure," Elixabeth
said sadly.
He made no answer; he opened
the door a if to dimi her. "Then
tomorrow I will take you to Mme.
Sencstis," he said.
"Yes yes, thank you."
She passed him with bowed head
and went out of the room and down

To Protect Poisoning in Food
Substances.
"How can I detect canned goods,
both meats and vegetables, which
are likely to cause ptomaine poison
ing," writes one reader. "It is nec
essary for me to keep large supplies
of canned goods on hand and rather
than serve my family suspicious food
I have for my motto, 'When in
doubt throw away.' "
The only safe way to detect such
poisoning is to send a sample of
the foods you suspect to your state
college bacteriological laporatory for
examination by expert bacteriolo
gists. Food which is likely to cause
poisoning is very often not notice
ably altered in appearance, odor or
aste. It pays to play safe in this
matter.

Save Your Clhicks
Ninety per cent of Baby Chick losses

The digestive organs of a . Chick . are very delicate. Strong, un
balanced feeds bring about bowel impaction and other intestinal
disorders, which quickly result in death. ':
Red Feather Growing Mash With Buttermilk
is the ideal starting and growing mash for your chicks. It will keep
them in perfect health and develop them into strong, early-laying
pullets from two to four months sooner than when you use ordinary,
unbalanced feeds. "
THE RED FEATHER WAY is the safe and sane . way.
Feed from the RED FEATHER BAG and you will save time, .
