WAR'S HORROR STRIKES
CIMtlNQ brought more excitement,
with America's entrance Into
'lie war. Not even the Convent
o;ild avoid the contagion oC ttilB.
riioro were brothers and trlends of
it-others going Into eervlce. Thore
.voro socks and sweaters to be knit-
led Tor the Red Cross. No longer
lid Dagger Und dllHculty In gaining
listeners for the dispatches the
read In the newspapers or the
theorlee of high strategy she formu
lated. Mother Seraphlna twinkled
at her ns she orated la the hall.
"Are sou to be another Joan ot
Arc, child?" smiled the Superior.
A question which set Dagger oft
on a brand new tangent. She read
overy book on the Maid of Dom-
rcmy she could find. Here was a
girl after her own heart, A girl
who had ridden fuiU fought and
arguod equally with men, counseled
a King .and led armies to battle.
How sorloue was the change that
war nnd wrought, however. Dagger
did not fully realize until the June
day she left school, when she de
scended the convent steps to dis
cover her uncle at tho wheel of the
ranch ear.
"Mac'e enlisted," he InformeaVher.
"The boys are goin' fast."
"But can you drive, Uncle Jim?"
"I'm kind of skittish with' the
damn' thing." he responded: "but
I can make her go." .
"You'd better let met have that
wheel," Dagger answered sternly,
and pushed him Into the. adjoining
seat.. "Wherog Dick?" :i
"Bossln' the ranch. We've took
on n parcel of Greasers to ride
herd. Hell, It I'd iknow,,tlila wore
what war meant I'd have been for
Hughes." !
"Old darling," sho said. And
painfully careless: "Has pick hoard
any more from Blaine Howard?"
, 'Wnd a letter must be two months
since," Mnrley answered. ""Blue. He
seemed to feel had 'bout us comln
In. Dick didn't say anything to
yew on purpose," .
At the ranch Daggor's first object
was to get Welling In a corner,
and pry tho lettor fromThlm.
"I tore it up," the Englishman
told her. "He was done In, the first
big drive and all. And he eald we
noople didn't know what we were
getting Into. . Wo were right to
come In, but we'd have a stiff time."
"Hut why didn't you send it to
mo?" .
" 'Only make you unhappy."
In a way, Dagger was happier
than she had Veen for A year. And
ilio had less time than ever to
think of Howard. Almost, she was
Domiciled when the crash came.
rihe had been twenty miles across
ho rnnge to check up on nn out
ying herd, and rode in to Cnsa
tllnnca.in the purple dusk, quit" Joy
fully i, tired, looking forward to a
wUi, a chat with Dick and early
od. Dick, himself, came from the
tonse ns she dismounted; and she
.looked au arm In his, pleased that
Re should have paid her this little
attention.
"What a day. Dickey," ahe sighed,
never glancing nt him; ''but It is
grand to be bone-tlrcd. Oooohl 1
couldn't worry, If I had to."
'That's good, dear," he answered,
and something In the restrained
note of his voice sent her eyes hit
ting up to his. -
There was a shadow In them that
rhllled her, heart, Ono hand flow to
her breast as sho tried to speak.
"What what Undo Jim "
"We've had a letter. Dagger."
To save himsolt he couldn't say
more It was sho who quavered:
"Hownrd?"
Wolllug nodded,
"Come Inside," he said, the
words strangled In his throat.
Sho cjung to his arm. bent over
slightly, her steps dragging, as they
piieaed from the dusk Into the
oftly llt .living-room, where Jim

. Dagger read no farther. The let
ter fell into her lap. Her eyes were
quite dry, but somehow, she was
unable to see.
"Whero's your hand, Dick?" she
said. "Thanks. I "
And for the first time In her life
she fainted.
Wavering back to consciousness.
Dagger was aware ot Dick's face
close to hers, and her uncle's voice
reiterating the refrain:
,.,VDatnned It I ever reckoned to
see Dagger faint! Damned if I "
"Damned It I'll ever do It again,"
she murmured. "You know. Uncle
Jim, I sort ot made a fool of my
self over him."
"Nothln' ot the sort," Marley re
torted. "Yew hush.. Dick told mo
'bout It. Huh! Feel shot up, my
self." In the desperate hope of finding
a trace ot Howard old Jim wired
some Washington officials ho knew,
and Welling cabled rolatives In Lon
don who, he hinted for the llrat
time, were influential. But these
.efforts produced only sympathy and
endeavors which were fruitless. .
-The one concrete result was the
Interest In Welling ahown by nis
friends at home, and Dagger was
touched by the combination of sur
prise and pleasure he experienced
at the dlscovory that he had not
been forgotten durfng his. exile.
"Fancy 'Bull' Crlchtou being
TJfjder-Secrotary of- Munitions," ho
exclaimed. "And here's, my cousin,
Wonlock poor chap, he says two
of, his b'y; have gone West." He
hesitated. "That leaves only the
little fellow, and It's an old title."
' "Is your cousin a lord?" Dass'cr
asked Idly.
----He nodded, and switched the con
versation to the topic of their
.search. Slowly Dagger came to
-realize Howard was gone, but un
flagging physical exertion no longer
numbed her pain. And her unrest
was accentuated by a cable for
Welling.
"I say. I say, Dagger," ho was
so excited he could scarcely speak.
" 'Bull' Crlohton's got a Job tor me.
Horse-buying. There's a commis
sion over hero, purchasing for the
array, and I'm to be on it. Doing
my bit, nt last."
"That's line, Dicky," she an
swered, curbing the dismay Hint
Hooded her heart. "I wish 1 could
do mine."
Sho tried honestly to like her
Job. but the flual straw, tne ulti
mate aggravation, came In a letter
from her aunt Kspy in San Antonio,
announcing the enlistment of her
two cousins. -
"I'm feeling right lonesome. Alls."
her aunt concluded. "Why don't you
come down, and visit me a spell?
