made to by force. You are-here now'
by his orders and will remain until
you consent to his purpose;—all that
remains for you to decide is whether
you choose to be prisoner or guest

KEEP FIT FOR HOME
SLOGAN OVERSEAS
Parahlno laauea Order Designating
Y. M. C. A. to Supervise ,
Ijjjr* Athletics,
Paris.—General Pershing's position
regarding the Y. M. <\ A.’s manage-
ment of athletic activities in the
American expeditionary forces is set
forth in the following army order,;
"The Y. M. C. A.. with tiie approval
of the commander in chief, lias organ-
ized- a department of athletics and is
prepared to give every assistance in
the development of general athletics
and the arrangement and management
of competitions between military units.
“It has a large number of- specially
tralued physical directors in mass
piay and other athletic activities now
in Its ranks tn France. One of these
will be attached to the staff of each
division and separate unit, and will
be designated in orders -ns tile dlvi-
viona) (or unit) athletie director, and
under supervision of the division ath-
letic officer will be charged kith the
responsibility for the arrangement,
management and geueral conduct of
athletic nativities throughout the
unit.” • .
in another section of the order, pro-
vision is made for mass athletics and
■ eompefttion* for every possible man,
ah all-point company athletic cham-
pionship and official A. 1C. F. clurm-
pioushlps in a wide variety of sports.
“Keep Fit for Home” is now tiie slo-
gan. If the period of demobilization
is not to be, ns Doctor Mott- has put
it, “a period of demoralisation” for
many men, attractive, constructive
physical activities must, immediately
be substituted. To a certain degree a
continuation of,military drill, will meet
the situation, but the gomes and play,
informal and' competitive, will be
found the best agency to Meet tiie rtili
for physical well-being.
There will be physical expression of
some sort, particularly during the lei-
sure’time of tiie soldier.. Khali it be
destructive, disorderly and dull—ot
constructive, orderly -nnd interesting?
The army has decided for the latter.
It has adopted a program maintaining
a wise balance between the amount of
drill necessary to maintain military ef-
ficiency and discipline nnd the amount
of play necessary to keep men physi-
cally stimulated, and So' tint responsi-
bility for the play side of Ibis pro-
gram for the 2,000,000 men in France

1 washed up hastily in my statc-
•oom and came out into the cabin
verplexed us to what might occur
■vltliln Hie next few moments. Yet
whatever* (lie result there was no
! ivoldtng It. My every move was one
if extreme j-uution.
Kstada and Kstevnn awaited me. The
alter was all rigged out. and with
miooth black hair oiled and plastered
lown upon Ids forehead. I never be-
teld a more disagreeable face, or one
) which so thoroughly revealed the na-
ure of a nian. As Ftouched Ids hund,
I it Ehtada's brief introduction, it was
j is if I fingered a snake,
i “This is your chair, (kites, nnd yon
; will find we live well aboard the Na-
j nnr—wine, women nnd song—hey,
j Manuel! Why not, when all are at
-oinmand? Steward, you told tiie lady
what my orders were. Then bid her
Join us.”_
We stood in silence, as Gunsauies
crossed the (leek and inserted a key
j in the after stateroom door. Manuel
i «as grinning iu full enjoyment, hut
I the expression on the face of Kstada
I was thut of grim cruelty. I felt my
; hands grip like iron on my chair back
! and my teeth clinch in restraint. God,
1 hut 1 would have liked to grip tiie fel-
j low where he stood—all the bottled-
up hatred in my soul struggling for
action. Yet that would only nienh the
death of alt hope, and I turned- nry
eyes away from him and stared with
the others at the opening door.
Out into the full light of the cabin
the woman came and halted barely a
step in advance of the steward,'her
head uplifted proudly, hemeyes on us.
Never before had 1 realized her beau-
ty, her personality, as I did then. Her
posture was (lot that of defiance nor
of surrender; she stood as a woman
defending her right to respect, sus-
tained by a wonderful eounige. I
caught her glance, hut there was no
recognition in it; not by the flicker
of an eyelid did she betray surprise,
und yet in some mysterious manner a
flash of intelligence passed between
us. It was all instantaneous, for her
gaze seenled to concentrate on Ksthda
as though she knew him ns leader.
“You sent for me? For what?" she
asked, her Spanish’ clear and- well
chosen.
“To join us at meal,” he answered
unmoved. “It is better than to remain
alone.”
“Better! You must have a strange
opinion of me to believe I would sit
with murderers and thieves.”
“Harsh words, senoritu,” and Estada
grinned grimly. “Yet I expected them.
There are mauy trades in the world
by which men are robbed. We only
work at the one we like best; nor will
I discuss thut with you. However,
senorita, I can say that we have taken
no lives in this lust affair.”
“No lives!" in sudden, Incredulous
‘j surprise. “You mean my undo lives?”
"If you refer to rAltfafc~tlie One lj
“Peace or War?"
anil Manuel Kstevan. And now that
I liavo answered your questions, what
Is it to be between us—peace or war?"
Her eyes dropped, and I could dis-
tinctly note the tremhllng of her slen-
der figure. When she slowly raised
her glance once more it rested on my
face ns though seeking approval, guid-
ance.
, “If there be only the one choice,”
she said quietly. “I accept peace., I
cannot live locked’ in that room ulonq
haunted by my thoughts and memo-
ries. If I pledge yon my word, senor,
am I to enjoy the freedom of this
cabin and the deck?”
Kstada looked at ns, a shade of
doabt In his eyes. I made no sign, but
Manuel nodded.
“Why not?" he asked In his harsh
croak of a voice. “So long as we be
at sea? What harm ean the girl do?”
“i’erhaps none; 1 will take a half
chance, at least. You shad have the
freedom of the cabin. So long as you
keep your word, while as to the deck,
We will consider that later. Prove you
wluu—you say—by joining—us
here.” ______
My recollection of that meal Ts not
of words but of faces. Estada's eyes
sought constantly the girl’s face, r.nd
to my consternation exhibited an in-
terest in her personality which prom-
ised trouble. I know not whether she
notleed ,tlils awakening admiration,j
hut she certainly played her part with
quiet modesty. I- believe that even
the Portuguese reached the conclusion
that she was not altogether regretful
for this adventure and -that it wus safe
for him to relax some degree of vlgi-
lnnce. His manner became more gra-
cious. and long before the meal ended
his language had a tendency to com-
pliment and flatter. I contented my-
self with occasional sentence.;. The
yVning Woman sat directly across from
roe, our words-overheard by all, and
as I knew both men possessed some
slight knowledge of Kngllhh I dare not
venture beyond eoinnionplnce conver-
sation In that tongue. With quick wit
she took her cue from me, so that
nothing passed between ns, either by
word of mouth or glance of eye, to
arouse suspicions.
Believing the feeling of confidence
would be increased by such action. I
was first to leave the table, and it be-
ing my watch below immediately re-
tired to my room, noisily closing the
door after me, yet refraining from let-
ting the latch catch, thus enjoying a
slight opening through which to both
see and hear, Manuel did not linger
long, making some excuse to go fpr-
ward, but Kstada remained for some
time, endeavoring to entertain. His
egotism made a fool of, the man, yet
even he finally became discouraged of
making her comprehend his meaning,
and lapsed into a silence which gave
her an excuse to retire. This wns ac-
complished so graciously as to leave
no sting, the fellow actually accom-
panying her to the door of her state-
room, bowing his compliments as she
disappeared within. The fool actu-
ally believed he had made a conquest
and preened himself like * turkey.
