National prohi bition is to have a new champion in congress in Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho. Under his leadership a. fight is to be made at the coming short sesBion to the states for ratification a prohibition amendment to the Federal Constitution. Coupled with the fight which Sena tor Borah intends to lead will be a sep arate, and yet related, contest conduct ed under the leadership of Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Washington, to force prohibition upon the District of Columbia. The latter iB a renewal of a fight made at the last session of congress and abandoned. There has never been a well-organized fight in congress to submit a pro hibition amendment to the Btates, though many prohibition resolutions have been proposed, only to be forgot ten, or to be abandoned, for lack of general support. Senator Borah, in announcing his purpose to make real fight for a pro hibition amendment, makes it plain that he is going into the contest to win, and if he is out-goneraled or out voted at the short session he promises to bob up again in the new congress, keeping prohibition to the forefront until a vote is had. If a record vote can be secured, Sen ator Borah is confident of getting enough votes to pass the resolution. The great obstacle to be overcome in getting a prohibition amendment through congress is in getting the proposition to a vote. Most of the opponents of prohibition are cowards, when it comes to going on record, and they necessarily make their fight in the dark. It whb in the dark that the prohibition resolution, along with the equal suffrage resolution, was side tracked at the last session, and the same tactics will be resorted to to kill off the resolution which Senator Borah intends to champion.

Miss Vida Milholland, sister of the noted suffragist, was with her when she was Btricken and has been in constant attendance since that time. Mrs. Boissevain's illness was diag nosed as aplastic anemia, and blood transfusion was resorted to in at tempts to improve her condition. Her Bister, Miss Vida Milholland, twice gave blood for this purpose, and on four other occsaions friends submitted to the ordeal in the hope that benefit would result. After each transfusion temporary improvement was followed by rolapse. A few days ago the phy sicians in charge stated that there was practically no hope for Mrs. Boisse vain, but thereafter ahe rallied and it was thought she might recover. caster, stationed 15 miles southeast of Sandy Hook, at 9 o'clock Sunday night sent out by wireless a general warning to all steamers flying the flags of the entente allies to beware of German submarines on this side of the Atlan tic.

Larry Kedmond. The minor characters are Sir George WagstafT of the British admiralty and Charlie Brown, a New York newspaper correspondent. Ethel, a resident o( Sir George's household, secretly married to Streetman, a German apy, though she did not know lilm as such. Captain Redmond, her old lover, returns to England after long absence. From him she learns the truth about streetman; furthermore, that he has betrayed her simply to learn naval se crets. The European war breaks out. FHhel prepares to accompany Streetman to Brussels as a German spy in order to get revenge and serve England. Captain i Kedmond. Ethel and Charlie Brown turn up at a Belgian Inn as the German army comes. She is Madame de Lorde. She begins to work with a French spy. The Germans appear at the inn. Madame de Lorde shows a German secret service medal and convinces the Invaders that she Is a German spy. Charlie Brown barely es capes execution. The secret telephone Is discovered and Chrlstophe Is shot as a spy. Brown is ordered back to Brussels. CHAPTER XVII Continued. "Say good-by to old Chrlstophe for me!" he enjoined them. "Tell him I'm sorry I didn't get bis chicken dinner, but better luck next time!" He held his hand out to the major. But hand shaking fell outside German military etiquette. Major vou Brenig snluted. "I may warn you," Major vori Brenig cautioned the American, "I may warn you thut If you are found off the road to Brussels the consequences will be serious." "In fact, you will be shot, my friend," Streetman said, to make the matter en tirely clear. And he appeared nbt at all uneasy over the contingency. In fact, he impressed Charlie Brown as being Irrltatlngly cheerful. "I know you hope for the best," Brown told him. He could not deny himself that passing retort. "But don't worry," be told the major. "I won't oilss B-UBsels road. And, Streetman, If you ever come to America, look me up! I'll give you one good time!" "I fear he will never get to Brus sels," von Brenig said somewhat pen sively, after Charlie had gone. Cer tainly he wished the American no ill luck. But he knew that not all offi cers whom be might meet would prove to be Columbia men. "It is bis owu risk," Streetman said. "He did not have to come here. . . . Now, major, there may be other spies. Would It not be best to replace the telephone and put a secret guard around tbla room? Then If anyone else comes to the telephone, we shall know." The scheme appealed to Major von Brenig. Accordingly, they had or dered the man Otto to return the in strument to its hiding place. And sta tioning others where they might keep watch of the fireplace, and yet not be seeu by anyone who entered the room, they instructed Lieutenant Baum to arrest the first person who approached the tolcphone. "Report to me at once, In such an event," the major said. "If necessary, shoot before any mes sage can be sent," Streetman told him. The man from the Wllhelmstrasse then hurried away to Bee General Preund, promising to return to join the major and Captain Karl at dinner. CHAPTER XVIII. Death Hovers Near Ethel. Ever since she succeeded In In veigling Lieutenant Baum Into reveal ing to her the secret of the fork In the road, Ethel had waited her opportunity to telephone the news to the French front. It seemed to her that the Ger man Intruders would never leave the public room, even for five minutes. Meanwhile she had hovered near. And at last she was convinced that the coast was clear. Cautiously she opened the door and peered Inside. She saw no one. So she stepped Into the room. For Just a few moineuts she hesitated, to assure her self that there was a lull in the move ments of the enemy. Apparently they had withdrawn to spruce themselves up after their long march. She nerved herself to her task. She stole to the Ureplace, glanced over her shoulder for oue last hurried survey of the , room, aud reached her hand out for the Instrument She had barely taken it up when she heard the command "Halt!" Ethel turned. To her startled eyes the room seemed suddeuly full of sol diers. And giving a little cry, she dropped the telephone upon the floor. Lieutenant Baum confronted her sternly. "You are a spy for the FrenchI" he said. "No, no! Let me explain!" He ignored her protest. "Load!" He snapped out the order to his men. And as they obeyed Ethel cried: "Nd, no, uo! For God's sake don't shoot me like that!" Trembling, she stood there, while they covered her with their tides. Then another cry of "Unit!" rang out. This time the comniaud came from the doorway. It was Ijirry Itefl tuoml who Interrupted the grim busi ness. Lieutenant Itaum turned to htm lu .surprise, while the German soldiers lowered their guns and saluted. "What are you doing?" Larry de manded. "A spy for the French!" Itnum ex plained somewhat peevishly. "A spy for the Freuch, eh?" Larry said as he drew nearer. "Frauleln " he began. And then he stopped short He bad uot recognized Ethel at first, for her back was toward the door. But now tliey gnued at each other lu amaiemeut. "A spy, eh?" Larry re peated. "What makes you think go?" "She weut to use that telephoiie. It leads to the French," the lieuteuaut THE? DIZAT-TA - author oF-zrfivxrVjwfi&TSE'" V LAY C'OWPjVy. "Excellent, excellent!" Larry told him. "But I shall Investigate this matter." "But Major von Breulg " Baum be gan. Larry brought him up sharply. "I am your superior officer!" he re minded the lieuteuaut. And at that the other saluted. "In ten minutes," Lnrry continued, "you will report to Major von Breuig that you captured the spy that she Is here In my charge, and will he be kind enough to come here directly." "Yes, Ilerr Captain!" "In ten minutes, lleutenaut! . . It Is for the fatherland!" "Ten minutes!" Baum replied. Aud once more he saluted. At a sign from Baum the soldiers withdrew, with the lieutenant leading the way. Larry waited till the last man was out of the room and the doors had closed behind them. Then he sprang to Ethel's side. "Ethel! They caught you at the telephone?" he cried. "Yes!" That was all she could say as she faced him pitifully. "Then they knew; and 'twas a trap set for you?" "Oh, Larry, what will happen to me?" He tried to calm her fears. "There, there, my darling no more harm shall come to you!" Already hla active mind was formu lating a plan for her relief. "But what are we to do?" she asked. She felt helpless, Incompetent to act, to devise any means for saving herself from the fate that bung over her. "Now, my dear, siuce they know you're a spy there's no great chance for you to escape through their lines," he said. "So for the moment, go into that rooTh " he pointed out a door to her "go in there, lock the door, and when they come back I'll do the best I can with a bit of explaluln'. . . . Come!" . . . He started for the door of the room where ho meant to hide her, when his foot cn tight on something It was the padlock that was pushed through the hasp of the trapdoor of the wine cellar and he tripped and all but fell "Sure, trlppln's a bad sign," he exclaimed. "I'll not be married this year. I" - He paused as a thought struck him an inspiration, "For God's Sake, Don't Shoot Me Like That." It seemed. And for a brief Instant he looked down at the contrivance at bis feet. "What Is it?" Ethel Inquired., "My dear, the wine cellar quick! It's a great chance!" "What do you mean?" she asked wondering!)'. He had already pulled up the trapdoor. The padlock had not been closed. "You want to hide me there?" Somehow, she shrank from the thought of descending into that dark hole. It seemed to Iter that once she sought that shelter they would surely Qud her iu the end. "No, no! 'Twould he the first place they'd search," he replied. He pulled a flashlight from his pocket and crept down the Bteps as he talked. "Walt!" he said. And In another moment he had so placed the light st the foot of the stairs that Its beams shot upward through the opening. "That's It, that's it!" he exclaimed delightedly. He was still standing upon the cellar floor. "The light's shining In your face! Look! Can you see me?" he asked. "No, no! The light blinds me. 1 can't see yon at all!" she told him. lie came op quickly then. "Good good! .Now listen! . , If somebody peeked down there, wouldn't they think a desperate wom an was standing at the foot of these stairs waitin' to shoot the first man who tried to come down?" Kthel stood there In the glare of the flashlight had listened to his plans. "Yes yes 1 believe they would," she admitted, beginning to understand his scheme. "And that's what we've got to make them believe. Now, hasten, darlln' hasten! . . . Tls best here!" He led her behind the cigar counter, for he bad suddenly abandoned bis previ ous notion of concealing her In the ad joining room. "Go and bide!" he di rected. And she crouched low In the shadow of the counter. "Ah! God la ,'ood to the Irish!" he exulted. "Have you a revolver?" - "Yes, Larry!" She produced a small, nickeled weapon. - He took It from her. "'Tis rather a toy," he said. "But I suppose It will shoot. Then don't let the sound of a shot frighten you Into screaming. I ve got to give myseir a bit of a flesh wound just lu the hand." "No, no!" she exclaimed In Increased alarm. "With this It con be only a scratch," he said. "As soon as I shoot) duck and hide. . . . Now, here goes!" He shot himself In the right hand, then handed the revolver back to Ethel, who Immediately huddled behind the counter. Then Larry banged the trap door shut. And backing away from It, he waited for the men who as he knew would soon come running In. Iu another moment they burst upon him. "HeiT captain you are wounded!" Lieutenant Baum cried. " 'Tls nothing," Larry replied. And he proceeded to bandage his bloody band with a handkerchief. Others Joined the startled knot of Germans among the newcomers, Ha jor von Brenig. "The spy the woman spy where Is she?" he asked. Larry told him that the woman had escnped. . The major swore roundly at that. And then Larry explained that she had suddenly produced a revolver and shot him. "Before I could draw my own revolver she'd got away," he said "She raised the trapdoor and went down there," he continued, pointing to the floor. The major remembered that there waB no outlet to the wine cellar. And without hesitation he raised the trap door, to face a blinding burst of light. He backed away quickly. "What the devil!" he shouted. And at the same time Lnrry warned him to be careful, "She must have one of our pocket flashlights," he said. "What a target It made of you, major! And In the dark you could not see her, could you?" "No!" von Brenig admitted. "And she can pick off our men one by one as they go dowu unless we rush her." Larry closed the door quickly. "If I may make so bold as to sug gest" he began; and seeing that the major gave hlm-permlsslon to continue, be said, "If there is no way out of the cellar save that, why waste our men when all we need Is to leave ber there to starve till there's no fight In her?" "Why not leave her there forever?" von Brenig asked. He was, above everything, a practical man. " 'Tis better still 'tis a just fate for a spy," Larry agreed. "Baum run a bayonet through the hasp!" the major ordered. The padlock had fallen Into the cellar unheeded when Larry first opened the trap. "Later you will make the fastening permauent," von Brenig said. CHAPTER XIX. A Surprise for Streetman.. Well satisfied at the happy termina tion of the episode, the major and his men retired once more. And Larry now found himself alone in the room, except for a telephone sergeant who stationed himself at the field Instru ment which he had placed upon a table when the Germans first reached the Lion d'Or. At least, there were no others present so far as the sergeant knew. In their consuming Interest In that trapdoor, not one of the Invaders had noticed Ethel as she crouched be hind the cigar counter. ' Ordered by Larry to leave, the ser geant explained that Major von Brenig was expecting a message. "Come back In fifteen minutes," Lar ry ordered. "I will take any messages." The fellow had uo sooner gone than Larry started for the cigar counter. "Well, my darlln', so far so good!" he said In a low voice. And then to his dismay he beard someone at the street door. "Ssh! Don't get up yet! Someone is coming!" Larry warned the girl. To his Immense alarm and conster nation, as the door swung open he saw that Uils latest arrival wus no other than Henry Streetmnn. They saluted. And as a wave of rec ognition swept across Streetman's face he whipped out his revolver aud cried, "Halt!" "What the devil do you mean?" Larry cried. Streetman regarded him coolly. "Well, Captain Redmond!" he said. "Well, Herr Strassmau!" "We meet under somewhat different circumstances from thut night In the moonlight on Unter den LIudeu," Streetman observed. "Yes, quite different!" was the al most jaunty response. "Then you were lu the English army. Now, Captain Redmond, you wear a Gernmu uniform." "And 'tls a good fit, too, for German clothes," Larry replied. But the other was In no good mood for banter. "That night I gave you your life," he proceeded. "Now I must take It back agalu. Before I call my men have you anything to say?" VICTORIA CROSS FOR SEPOY Indian Soldier Honored by King for Bravery In Saving His Command ing Officer Under Fire. The London correspondent of the Medical Record mentions two recent Instances of awards of the Victoria Cross, the first to a surgeon, and the second to a Sepoy who rendered first aid aud protected his commanding offi cer until be could summon assistance under cover of night. He writes: "The king has been pleased to award the Victoria Cross to Capt. John Alexander Sinton, M. L M. G., for 'most conspicuous bravery and devo tion to duty.' Although shot through both arms and through the side, he refused to go to the hospital and re mained as long as daylight lasted, at tending to his duties under heavy fire, in three previous actions Captain Sin ton displayed the utmost bravery. "Uls majesty also conferred the cross on Sepoy Chatta Singh, Ninth Bhopnl Infantry, In the Indinn army, for his most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty In leaving cover to "Not a word!" Larry defied him. "You have no message to send the girl you told me of?" "I believe she can hear me when I say that I love her and pray the good God to keep her safe and free from harm," the Irishman told him In all truth. He was serious now, was Cap- Streetman Wheeled About In Amaze ment. tain Redmond. Indeed, he saw that he was in a devilish tight hole. And rack his brains as he would, he could think of no way out. Lnrry was right The girl he loved did bear him. Before Streetman had said another word, Ethel leaped from behind the cigar counter with' her re volver leveled at Streetman. "Hands up! Hands up or I'll kill you!" she cried. Streetman wheeled about in amaze ment. And before he could collect hla scattered wits Captain Redmond had wrested the German spy's revolver from him, "Ethel, my dear, you shouldn't have mixed up In this," Larry reproved her. Streetman heard bim with Increasing wonder. " 'My dear!" he repeated after Larry. "Then you know Captain Redmond?" he exclaimed, searching Ethel's face for the Information be only now be gun to suspect "I do," she told him unflinchingly. He saw everything clearly at last. "Then, by God! - You're the English man she loved!" he exclaimed as he turned to Larry. Ethel did not wait for Captain Red mond to answer. "Yes, yes, I love him!" she con fessed shamelessly. "I've always loved him." "Then you lied to me when you said -you hated htm," Streetman accused her. "You lied when you said yon wanted to work against the English you lied!" He was like a madman, as he realized how she had tricked him. "1 lied yes!" she confessed. "I lied, too, when I said the EnglUh fleet had dispersed. It hadn't It went to the Kiel canal, I've lied to you every min ute every minute since we left for Brussels." "You said the man you married wae a German spy" Larry reminded." Ethel. "But you can't be her hus band," he told Streetman. "I met your wife In Berlin." Streetman sneered. "Ber husband? ... So that' what she told you! That's good!" He even laughed at the thought, In spite of the menacing revolver that Captain Redmond pointed at him. "Henry! Henry!" Ethel's boldness had forsaken her now. She could not bear to hear such things said and before Larry, of all men. "I don't understand," Captain Red mond 6ald slowly. "Then let me explain since you and she ure In love. It may be of some In terest for you to know, Captain Red mond." Streetman could scarcely have prayed for more complete revenge than this. "Oh, don't! .Don't!" Ethel entreated. But Streetman continued ruthlessly. "This lady," he said, "this lady has the honor to be " "Don't say It, you dog!" Larry warned bim. And his finger curled caressingly about the trigger of the revolver. . . "No, no! It isu't true! Don't be lieve him!" Ethel urged. "I thought I was mnrrled honestly truly married. . . . I loathe him. I despise him. . . . You do believe me? Oh,; say that you do please!" "Of course, my dear, I love you!"
