Stella dropped her bead quickly In order to hide tbe gleam In her eyes. That morning, for the first time In her life, tbe fact that she was a woman bad really been brought borne to her (neither Barker's proposal nor Fair's warning bad done It before) ; and she was only too glad that this Eastern cousin of hers bad not guessed her sex. tier first real thought wa.-- ; that bis Ignorance gave ber an opportunity, herself unknown, to try him out and find out what sort ot man be really was. The events of the morning bad corroborated what Fair bad told ber and had deeply shaken her faith In the "boys" among whom she bad been brought np; the scales had at least partly fallen, and she bad begun to see them as they really were. Natur ally, In ber first spasm of dlsl.luslon. she bad begun to wonder whether all men were tbe same wtere women were concerned whether, specifically, the particular man beside ber was the same at bean. Instantly, as was her wont, she de cided to claim no kinship wltb this cousin of hers and to conceal ber sex until she had found out for herself whether be and the new world which he represented and into which she was going was any better than the men and the old world from which she was about to depart. To revolve all this In ber mind and to think up an answer to bis hinted question as to ber age took ber about three seconds. Then she looked up. "Yon might sny sixteen If you've a mind to," she returned, laughingly. "And I didn't guess yon were from the East from tbe way yon acted up when yon Jumped 1c at tbe window this morning. By the way, what's your name? Ton haven't told me." For a moment Go Ahead hlsltated. He was traveling as George Morton, which, while It bad the advantage of being his own name, was less conspicuous than his common appellation. Be might easily tell this youngster that bis name was George Morton. He opened hid mouth to do so; then switched In "My name's Morton." be said ; "commonly called Go Ahead because 1 like to butt Into things.

It's most too far to be certain sure, but I'm guessing that Bill Wade and Jim Barker are with that buncb of Mexicans that Just came over the crest there that we were beading for.

So I guess we'd better move along sort of pronto. If yoa don't mind." "Don't mind a bit" Go Ahead had followed Stella's turn to the west long before he got a chance to answer, and the two horses were racing along the bottom of the dip at top speed.

She decides to return to him, is pursued and "Go Ahead" Intercepts her. mi . - CHAPTER VI Continued 12 Another bullet sang through tbe air, this time very close to Green's bead. Stella noted It and 6wung around In ber saddle. "Jack," she cried, "there's no Ase In your coming with me. I know all I need to know about Go Ahead. And dad needs you.

Another bullet whistled by, and as If It were a signal Stella whirled her horse and drove him with stunning force against the mare that Green rode, bowling tbe smaller animal completely over. Green, good horseman that he was, reacted Instantly but hopelessly; bare- ly did he succeed la jerking his feet from the stirrups and springing clear as the mare crashed to the ground. Stella's horse reeled, too, from the shock, but quickly recovered himself and, touched by the spur, shot away like an arrow. As he went, Stella, crouching low U the saddle, called over her shoulder: "Bawl me out to the boys. Jack. Give me a roasting. An Instant later she Understand topped the rise np whose flank she had been racing and vanished from r tbe sight of the pursuers. And then, as she straightened up In ber saddle, she faced Go Ahead, who had been racing op the other side of the slope to learn tbe meaning of tbe popping rifles that be bad heard. lar."

PICKARD were beating again In WAR drums and there was "alarm In the chancelleries" last week. Marshal Pllsudskt, dictator of Poland, displayed renewed Intention of attacking Lithuania, and the Lithuanian troops were being concentrated at strategic points along the Polish frontier. Germany especially was worried and the Berlin foreign office offered to mediate and warned the Polish minister to Germany. ' Piludskl was quoted as saying : "I'll march Into Lithuania's capital of Kevne In September at the latest. If the Lithuanians then form a government prepared solemnly to give up all claim to Vilna, I might be Induced, perhaps, to withdraw my troops." The marshal already bad ordered his military organizations to meet in Vilna on August 12 and quarters were being prepared there for 40,000 men. Tbe German official fear was that this army, fully equipped, would be used by Pilsudski to carry out bis threat and that if the' Poles once got a foothold In Kevne their next step would be the Invasion of East Prussia, which Is separated from the fatherland by the Danzig corridor. Berlin Bent a note of warning to Warsaw and also asked France to help preserve peace, but meanwhile the Poles were serving out ammunition to the troops along the Lithuanian border and the police partly closed the frontier. Lithuania Is frankly counting on the support of Soviet Russia if open warfare results, and France Is tied up with Poland to a considerable extent. CK)R three months Sir Austen berlaln and M. Cham-- " Brland. foreign min- isters respectively of Great Britain and France, have been working on an agreement to end naval construction rivalry between the two nations, and last week It was formally announced that this had been accomplished. Each government Is to communicate to tbe other at least a year In advance Its naval building program and desires, and the fleets of the two countries are to be complementary and not antagonistic. England and France have taken this action as founder members of the :.eague of Nations. The egreement apparently has to do largely with the size of cruisers and the question of submarine conon which the struction, matters United States did not agree with England and France at the naval conference In Geneva. It was said both ides tried to avoid anything that might annoy the American government, but that some objection was expected from Washington on the clause relating to the size of cruisers. A compromise was reached on the question of limitation by, the total tonnage or the category system. It was said in Paris that proposal for another naval conference would be discussed when Secretary of State Kellogg, Sir Austen Chamberlain, 51, Brland and delegates from Italy and Japan meet there to sign the Kellogg treated outlawing war.
