ROEERTS, Meteorogolist THE SLATE WIPED of. 4 ‘The country will applaud’ ts prebi- dent's “cleaning of the slate” of the shipbuilding stalmate. Popular dis- gust over the situation had become general. The president evidently post- poned using the sponge on the slate because of the undoubted patriotism and sincerity of both Gen. Goethals and Chairman Denman. But it turned out to be a case of two good men pull- ing hopelessly against each other, ‘both prompted by the best motives, and the president cleaned up the situ- ation with the minimum of reflection upgn..either., 204 Cbethaiel and-Denmay, have both “loproved Thdeoeby® éan oform, honest opinions id’ Stick to’them. Men of such qualities should not be wholly Jost to the war management. Uncle Sam has already loaned to _. the allies, more than, palf of that ~ $3,000,000,000. ACTION, ACTION, ACTION! Secretary McAdoo dynamited the | we chief of anything in Russia’s army enough for us to see Verdun.” After another year of slaughter of his faith- ful Germans the crown prince finds his mound of dead twice as high, but still he can not see Verdun, which is,| in fact, farther rather than nearer.| For, after long since ceasing to make any advance through seas of blood, the ruthless heir of the Hohenzollerns has of late lost ground. | Gen. Roop, chief of staff of the Rus- sian army, is being entertained in iNew York. ‘We'd sure like that, were at this tim A POOR BUT HONEST KING. The yoking up of Siam with us is about enough to make a genuine Uni- ted State world-wide democrat feel like Old Dog Tray. The kings of England, Belgium, Ser- via, Italy, Rumania, Montenegro and the mikado gave the as: ciation | enough of the divine rights flavor, but this here dusky Siamese king is} the genuinest autocrat On earth. He is the Siam supreme court and holds the initiative, referendum and recall and gan draw on his congress whenever he likes. ut, he seems to; be an unusually honest autocrat. He declares war on Germany for the pur- pcse of seizing all German property within his reach. Now is the time for small nations to uphold the sanctity of their rights and command inter- national respect, by grabbing what they can get, says he, figuratively speaking. “For the good of the serv- ice,” says our tar-colored ally of Siam, while the ordinary king proclaims that he grabs for the sole benefit of the grabee. The king of Siam, how- ever, hasn’t much army or navy or; real estate worth the stealing by for- eigners and, maybe, that’s why he can afford to show a streak of hon- esty. The dauntless courage and undying heroism of war-worn France is more fully revealed than ever in the report brought from that country by Presi- dent Finley of New York state univer- sity, returning from his mission to study the effect of war on the French schoo] system. France has been com- pelled to restrict the use of food, fuel and light, has discouraged travel andq mobilizéd every able-bodied man for defense; but the education of the young, With woméi teachers in the places of men and in the midst of enormous difficulties, goes straight on with only the unavoidable limitations. According to President Finley, there are even schools in caves within the sound of the great guns,..with ‘both pupils and teachers wearing gas masks. Think of it! Jim Cameron, caught with too many senate by warning it that the war revenwe ‘bill, sh jide for five ait’ bp. proposed fhdred enty mil- lions. New necessities have arisen, the dozens of departments have made their estimates, and the secretary has nad a view of the total. . The unfortunate feature about the matter is that all the time spent by house and senate on their divergent war revenue bills has been wasted, and it will be many more weeks be- fore American taxpayers can get any estimate as to what their taxes are to be. Such delay means paralysis of enterprise, to say nothing about the effect upon war preparationit),. .ic The hope of the nation, i¢/nbt ‘in- deed of civilization, lies in thé"Ability of congress to break its record by set- tling the matter of war revenue taxa- tion without delay. Senator Jim Ham Lewis’ idea of “restoration of Belgium” is that all the warring nations should contribute to it. Now will the kaiser bite? PATRIOTISM AND STYLE, | In a spirit of patriotism the Na- tional Association of Retail Clothiers has resolved upon the retention of present styles of men’s clothes for the season of 1918, and the action has our unqualified commendation. We shall wear this season’s styles in 1918 and, such is our patriotism, that if this season's styles don’t last through 1918, we'll wear last season’s in 1918, and, circumstances are so getting be- yond our control, that we may wear in 1918 the styles of season before last, or of season's much more remote. But any old style that we may have to wear in 1918 isn’t what’s bothering us. What influence has patriotism up- on what the women are going to wear in 1918? This is the real agonizing question. German autocracy has been notified that we will raise armies of millions and subscribe billions of loan to our allies, and said autocracy keeps right on fighting with spirit and eclat. Where would that infamous autoc- racy’s morale be if notified that the women of America were so warlike that they would wear this season’s styles in 1918? Dead as a hard boiled egg! The continuing impotence of the crown. prince’s army recalls Raemak- er’s cartoon showing the kaiser and! his heir standing on a great mound of dead soldiers, the latter complain- wives, has been sentenced to service in the ‘front trenches’ when he returns to.

Looking over the U-boat matter, a Bremen newspaper announces that England will be starved to peace in 45 months. Germany ought to be able to wait that long—if she can get enough to eat. And now it is reported Gov. Whit- man of New York may be prevented | from naming T. R. a major general. This world is surely full of a number of disappointing things. ——— The kaiser still claims that his fight is for “liberty and independence,” but, of course, he privately. understands this to mean liberty to dominate the world. ——$_— ‘There’s only 27 millions of pork in the rivers and harbors bill, but just a mere rind of pork is enough to make the U.

CHAPTER IlI—Next morning she discovers that Joh», the younger brother, has recen iy come into a Jarge fortune. In co;spany with hin | she explores the farm. CHAPTER 1V-——Jn 2 talk with him she is disturbed by his rigid moral principles and finds that his wealth has created no desire for any other life than the simple one he is leading. She tells him her name and that she is the friend of the prince of Seyre, a rich and disreputable neighbor. CHAPTER V—Three months later, unable to rid himself of the memory of the actress and in spite of his; brother’s protests, John goes to Lon- don. CHAPTER VI—He finds Louise en- gaged in the rehearsal of a new play, meets her friends and is entertained at luncheon with her by the prince. ‘CHAPTER Vi{—John drives Sophy home and gives him friendly advice, about love and life ‘n London. The prince and Louise postpone a little; journey they had arranged for. CHAPTER 1X—The prince takes! John under his social care. Graillot, | the playwright, warns Louise that | both the prince and John love her and , that the prince will be a dangerous enemy to his rival. CHAPTER X—The prince intro- duces a reldtive, Lady Hilda, to John, | hinting that she may Né"or use to him in his “education” of Jghn. aronriate. “This is very nice of you indeed, Mr Strangewey,” she began. “1 had no ides exiuuple and come to town.” She told herself once more that her slight instinct of uneasiness had been absurd, Stephen’s bow, although a lit- tle formal and austere, was still an acknowledgment of her welcome. The shadows of the room, perhaps, had pre. vented him from seeing her out: stretched hand, “Mine is a very short visit, Miss Mau rel,” he said.- “I had no other r for coming but to see John and to pay this call upon you.” “I am greatly flattered,” she told him, “You must please sit down and make yourself comfortable while we tulk, See, this is my favorite place,” she added, dropping into a corner of her lounge. “Will you sit beside met Or, if you-prefer, draw up that chair,” “My preference,” he replied, “is tc remain standing.” She raised her eyebrows. Her tone altered. “It must be as you wish, of course, she continued; “only I have such pleas ant recollections of your hospitality at Peak Hall that I should like, if, there was any possible way in which I could return it—” “Madam,” he interrupted, “you must, admit that the hospitality of Peak Hall CHAPTER XI—At Seyre House John is introduced) to ‘a ¢elebiated dancer, Calavera, who at once sta¥ts a violent flirtation wiih him. At sap- per the prince tells Calavera that en- mity for John has caused him to em- uin him. XII—Calavera dances for the supper party and afterward entices John to her, but he leaves her and the house. CHAPTER X1II—John tells Louise that he came to London for her and for her alone. Louise pleads for time. CHAPTER XIV-—Graillot inadvert- ently plants suspicion in John’s mind. Lady Hilda calls upon him in his rooms ‘and attempts flirtation with him, her talk of ‘Louise and the prince further increasing his awakened jeal- ousy.’'' ‘CHAPTER XV—Dining with Sophy, Louise and the prince appear in the restaurant, to the surprise of John, whom: Louise had told she would be out of town for the week-end. He at- tends the first night of the new play and at the climax is so shocked that he leaves the house. Sophy follows and brings him back to the aftersthe- ater supper. CHAPTER XVi-—Stephen Stange- wey comes to London to see the new play. CHAPTER XVII. Loulse glanced at her watch, sat up In ‘bed, and turned reproachfully towérd' Aline, “Ktine, do you know it fs only eleven o'clock?” she -exclaimed. “I am very sorry, madame,” the lat- ter hastened to explain, “but there isa gentleman downstairs who wishes to see you. He says he will wait until you can receive him. I thought you would like to know,” “A gentleman at this hour of the morning?” Louise yawned. “How ab- surd! Anyhow, you ought to know better than to wake me up before the proper time.” ‘ “T am very sorry, madame,” Aline re- plied. “I hesitated for some time, but I thought you would like to know that the gentleman was. here. It “fs Mr. Stephen — Strangewey—Mr.___ John’s brother.” : re Louise clasped her knees with her fingers and) sat thinking. She was wide awake now, “He hus been here some time al- ready, madame,” Aline continued. “I did not wish to disturb you, but 1 thought perhaps it was better for you to know that he was here.” “Quite right, Aline,” Louise decided. “Go down and tell him that I will see him in half an hour, and get my bath ready at once.” Loulse dressed herself simply but carefully. She could conceive of but one reason for Stephen's presence in her house, and it rather amused her. It | was, of course, no friéndly visit, He had come either to threaten or to i ah “My Preference Is to Remain Stand- ing.” cajole. Yet what could he do? What had she to fear? She went over the in- terxiew;{n.-her mind. imagining bim was not willingly offered to you., Save for the force of circumstances, you would never have crossed our thresh- old.” E She shrugged her shoulders. She was adapting her tone and manner to the belligerency of his attitude, “Well?” “You want to know why Ihave found my way to London?” he went on. “I came to find out a little more about you.” iy, ( “About me?” “To discover if there was anything about you,” he proceeded deliberately, “concerning which report had lied. I do not place my faith in newspapers and gossip. There was always a chance that you' might jhave been an honest woman, That'ls:why I came to Lon- don, and why.I went’ to see your play last night.” 3 She was speechless. It was as if he were speaking to her in some foreign tongue. “T have strug7led,” he continued, “to adopt a charit;ble view of your pro- fession. I know#iiat the world changes quickly, while we,;*who prefer to re- main dutside Its orbit; of necessity lose touch with its new, idéas and new fushions. So I said ‘to myself that there should be nd mistake, For that reason I gat in a theater last night al- most for the first time in my life. I saw you act.” Well?” sti» asked almost defiantly. He looked down at her. All splendid self-assurance seemed ebbing away, She felt a sudden depression of spirit, au sudden strange sense of insignifi- cance, - “T have come,” he said, “if I-can, to buy my brother’s freedom.” “To buy your brother's freedom?” she repeated, in a dazed tone. “My brother is infatuated with you,” Stephen declared. “I wish to save hin.” The woman’s courage began to as- sert itself. She raised her eyes to his, “Exactly what do you mean?” she asked calmly. “Im what way is any man to be saved from me? If your brother should carg for me, and I, by any chance, should happen to care for him, in What respect would that be a state from which he would require sal- vation?” “You make my task more difficult,” he observed deliberately. “Does it amuse you to practice your profession befure one so ignorant and so unappre- ciative as myself? If my brother should ever marry, it is my firm inten- tion that he shall marry an honest woman.” Louise sat quite still for a moment. A flash of lightning had glittered be- fore her eyes, and in her ears was the crash of thunder.. Her face was sud- denly strained. She saw nothing but the stern, forbidding expression of the man who looked down at her. “You dare to say this to me, here in my own house?” “Dare? Why not? Don’t people tell you the truth here in London, then?” She rose a little unsteadily to her feet, motioning him toward the door, and moving toward the bell. Suddenly she sank back into her former place, breathless and helpless. “Why do you waste your breath?” he asked calmly. “We are alone here, you and I—we know the truth!” She sat quite still, shivering a little. “Do we? Tell whe, then, because I am curious—tell me why you are so | sure of what you say.” |, “The world has’it,” he replied, “that you are the mistress of the prince of Seyre. I came to London to satisfy Myself as to the truth of that report. Do you believe that any man living, among that audience last night, coul@ watch the play—although you are a clever actress, madam—and believe that you were a woman who was living an honest life?” “That seems impossible to you?” she demanded. “Utterly impossible!” “And to John?” “I am speaking for myself and not for my brother,” Stephen replied. “Men like him, who are assailed by a certain that you had followed your brother's}.

Side by side with the anger and horror that his words aroused was a sense of some- thing almost grotesque, something which scemed to force an unnaturat laugh from her lips. “So you want to buy me off?”, should be glad to believe that it was within my power to do so, I have not John’s great fortune, but I have money, the accumulated savings of a lifetime, for which I have no better purpose, There is one more thing, too, to be said.” “Another charge?” ails “Not that,” he told her; “only, it is better for you to understand that if you turn me from your house this morning, I shall still feel the necessity of saving my brother from you.” “Saving him from me?’ she ex- claimed, rising suddenly and throwing out her arms. “Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know that if I consented to think of your brother as my husband, there is not a man in London who would not envy him? Look at me! Iam beautiful, am Inot? Iam a great artist. Iam Lou- ise Maurel, and I have made myself famous by my own work and my own genius.

Take him out-of my life. ‘There is no place there for him!” Stephen picked up his hat from the sofa where it lay.
