FORGE Whatever affects peopld ! inti- mately will be the subject nearest their hearts—the thing they will talk about most. That is why, in hot weather, heat is the most talked of subject. With the thermometer ranging around the 100 mark, it is next to impossible for the average person to think long of anything else. If some other subject could intrude itself more persistently than the heat, the heat would be next to forgotten. We are made miserable by a thou: sand things in the course of the year —things that we forget as time pas:es, but which we lack the will power to forget at once. One of the surest things we know is that cultivated con- trol of will power would make thou- sands of people happier and more use- ful to society. If it is possible to forget in a month, why not in a day? If it is possible, by concentration on a pleasant or use- ful subject, to forget an unpleasant and useless one, why not do that? Cultivation of interest in a wide range of subjects is one of the best helps for any person. One cannot imagine that heat greatly worries “ Thomas A. Edison while he is deeply engrossed in a problem of invention. ‘He has before him something so ab- sorbing that his mind has no room for ordinary. bothers. We are largely creatures of our own brain power.. The greater our brain power—our’ power to WILL the direction of our own thoughts—the happier and miore useful we shall be, and the less bothered about things that really are of no great import- ance. Be master of your own brain—and make your brain keep you happy! ‘No wonder milk is high. In this weather most of it evaporates as it leaves the cow. KOYALTY UNQUESTIONED. Recruiting figures reflect the ster- ling loyalty of the German-Americans of the Slope, despite the luke-warm Americanism of a portion of the pa- pers published in the enemy’s lan- guage. It merely demonstrates that the seditious and near treasonable state- ments made in some of the columns do not voice the sentiments of Amer- ican citizens of German birth, who are as ready as any to defend democracy and the liberty of this nation with their lives. Just call the roll of voluntary re- cruits in counties where German- Americans reside in large numbers: Emmons, 30; Morton, 46; Stutsman, 98; Stark, 127. Dickinson has given two companies and Burleigh ‘county, with a strong German-American population, also raised two volunteer companies. This is emphatic evidence of a vigorous Americanism when it is considered that most of the boys come from farm- ing districts at a time when they can ibe least spared. For the most part, the counties with German-American population have maintained the average percentage of volunteer enlistments. The Tribune has never questioned the patriotism of the Slope, although it has chal- lenged statements in the German press, which were reprehensible in the extreme. The time has come when German papers should print the English equiv- alent of all they publish in the enemy language. It would be an evidence of good faith if nothing else. KIND OF PEACE. There has been a recurrence of peace talk during the past week or 0, Most of it is piffle. For instance, Borah in the. United States senate anxiously asks that this government announce its peace aim To Borah the only answer is: Peace will come when. the people of the democracies of this world decide that they have, by force, made this earth safe for them and their children. Then there is Michaelis, the new German chancellor, who asks for an bdnoryble peace for Germany and nines that the allies are bent on making hard terms for his country. It might just’ a! well be said right now as later, that Germany is entitled to no consideration whatever. There isn’t anything honorable or decent about her to command the respect or, even the mercy of the democratic peo- ples who are spending their substance and giving their blood to make the world safe for liberty and unsafe for tyranny. ote ME Germany pregaged. for 40 years to ravage, the world and therrexploit it. With Zoia-viooded deliberation she planted this frightful war. If anybody had any doubts about this at the be- ginning, the overwhelming evidence has long since made it a certainty. For three years Germany has vio- lated every decency in human life. For three years she has violated every law of God and man. Not in the heat of battle, but with cool, ordered deliberation, she has practiced crimes that are not sur- passed by the beasts of the jungle. Nothing has been too barbarous, nothing too savage. She-has slain the innocent—the mother with the babe on her breast, the doddering old man, the child at its play. Her thirst for blood has been in- satiable; women have been her first choice as victims. She has murdered, robbed, burned, devastated without reason, heartlessly. History cites nothing in the dark ages that is worse than the German record in the lands she has overrun—a record so dread- ful, so shocking, that to the end of time history will tell of it all with horror. An honorable compromise peace for! this dastardly outlaw among nations? A thousand times NO! | A dishonorable peace is the best | that Germany is entitled to. It is the only kind of a peace she can under stand. Reprisals she would understand better, but democfacies are civilizec people, and they cannot descend to such depths of infamy.

John per- suades the prince to withdraw an invi- tation to Seyre House he has given to Loi , on the plea that it will com- promise her. “ONE KUNTCTS WISTS, perhaps, with the years,” he replied. “I am forty- one years old today. I have spent the 2arly hours of this afternoon in reflec: clon, and behold the result!” “You have spoken 6 me before,” she | said slowly, “of different thihgs. You jut never your nanié, ‘I do nbt“under- itand this sudden change!” “Louise,” he declared, “if I do not ‘ell you the truth now, you will prob- ibly guess it. Besides, this Is the one ‘me in their lives when a man and voman should speak nothing but the ruth. It is for fear of losing you— hat is why.” Her self-control suddenly gave way. She threw herself back in her chair. She began to laugh and stopped ab- ‘uptly, the tears streaming from her ayes. The prince leaned forward. He ook her hands in his, but she drew hem away. “You are too late, Eugene!” she aid. “I almost loved you, I was al- nost yours to do whatever you liked with, But somehow, somewhere, not- withstanding all your worldly knowl- odge and mire, we missed it, We do aot know the truth about life, you and ‘at least you do not, and I did not.” He rose very slowly to his feet. Chere was no. visible change in his ‘ace save a slight whitening of the checks, , “And the sequel to this?” he asked. “I have promised to marry John 3trangewey,” she told him, “That,” he replied, “is impossible! ‘ have a prior claim.” The light of battle flamed suddenly n her eyes, Her nervousness had sone. She was a strong woman, face o face with him now, taller than he, seeming, indeed, to tower over him in he splendor of her anger. She was ike a lioness threatened with the loss of the one dear thing. “Assert it, then,” she cried deflant- ly.. “Do-+what you will. Go to him this minute, if you have courage enough, if it seems to you well. Claim, indeed! Right! T have the one right every woman in the world possesses— to give herself, borly and soul, to the man she loves! That is the only claim and the only right I recognize, and I em giving..myself to him, when he ants mepferever !” She stopped suddenly.

For a single moment the prince hesitated. Then he picked up his hat and bowed. “Perhaps,” he said, “this may not be the last word!” ‘CHAPTER XIX. John came back to town from his Cumberland home, telling himself that, all had gone as well as he had expect- ed. He had done his duty, He had \told Stephen his news, and they had perted friends. Yet ull the time ,he was consgious of an undercurrent of disconcerting thoughts. Louise met him at the station, and he fancied’ that her expression, too, although she “welcomed him gaily enough, was a little anxious, “Well?” she askéd, as she took his ari and led him,to where her. limou- sine was waiting. “What did that ter- cible brother of yours say?” Johujmgde a little grimace,.: he a “It might have been worse; de clared, “Stephen wasn't pleased,’ of course. He hates women like ‘poison,, and he always will. That is because he will insist upon dwelling upon,cer- tain unhappy incidents of our family history.” : : “1 shall never forget the morning he came to call on me,” Louise sighed. “He threatened all sorts of terrible things if I did not give you up.” “Why didn’t you tell me about it?” John asked. “I thought it might worry you,” she replied, “and it couldn’t do any good. He believed he was doing his duty. John, you are sure about yourself, aren’t you?” He was a little startled by the earn- estness of her words. She seemed pale and fragile, her eyes larger and deeper than usual, and her mouth tremulous, She was like a child with the shadow of some fear hanging over her. He laughed and held her tightly to him. Her lips sought ‘his and clung to them. A queer little wave of passion seemed to have seized her. Half cry- Ing, half laughipg,,she pressed her face against his. “— do not want to act tonight. I do not, want to play, even to the must wonderful audience in the world. 1 do not want to shake hands with many hundreds of people at that hateful reception.

Then he led her {back to her place upon the couch. Her emotion:.1 wood, while it flattered Her Lips Sought His and Clung tc Them. him in a sense, did nothing to quiet the little demons of unrest that pulled, every now and then, at his heart- strings. s “What is this reception?” he asked. She made a little grimace, “It is a formal welcome from the English stage to the French company that has come over to play at the new French theater,” she told him, “Sir Edward and I are to receive them. You will come, will you not? I am the hostess of the evening.” “Then I am not likely to refuse, am 1?” he asked, smiling, “Shall I come to the theater?” “Come straight to the reception at the Whitehall rooms,” she begged, “Sir Edward is calling for me, and Graillot will go down with us. Later, if you care to, you can drive me home.” “Don’t you think,” he suggested “that it would be rather a good oppor tunity to announce our engagement?” “Not tonight!” she pleaded. “You know, I cannot seem to believe it my- self except when I am wigh you and we are alone. It seems tod wonderful after all these years. -Do you know, John, that I am nearly thirty?” He laughed. “How pathetic! All the more rea son, I should say, why we should. lei people know about it as soon as pos ible.” Fett: “There is no particular hurry,” she Beoii ugeeie (0 Gving hd” take pms to be crumbling up around | t night I even hated my work, part of it.” His eyes lit up with genuine pleas- ure, * “T can’t tell you how glad I am to hear you say that,” he declared, “I don’t hate your work—I’ve got ‘ever that. I dén’t think I am narrow about it. I admire Graillot, and his play 1s wonderful, But I think, and I always shall think, that thé denouement in chat third act is abominable!” She nodded understundingly. “IT am beginning to realize how you must feel,” she confessed. ‘We won't talk about it any more now, Drive me to-the theater, will you? I want to be there early tonight, just to get averything ready for changing after- ward.” The reception in honor of the little vompany of French tragedians, at which almost the whole of the English stage and a sprinkling of society peb- ole were'present, was a completé' sic- cess, Louise made a charming ‘host- ass, und Sir Edward more than ever justified his reputation for saying the right thing to the right person at the tight moment. The rooms were crowd- ad with throngs of distinguished peo- ole, who all seemed to have plenty to say to one another. The only person, perhaps, who found himself curiously ill at ease was John, He heard nothing but French on all sides of him—a language which he read with some facility, but- which he spoke like a schoolboy.: He had been wandering about for more than an hour before Louise discovered him, Sheat once left her place and crossed the room to where he was standing by the wall. © F ,, “Cheer up!” she begged, with a de- ightful smile,’ “I am ‘afraid.that you awe being bored to death, i. you not come and be presented to: our guests?” “For goodness’ sake, no!” John im- plored. “I have never seen one of them act, and my French is appalling. sromptly. “It was nice of you to come at all, And here’s Sophy at last, thank zoodness! Now I am all right,” She laid her fingers upon his arm, “You must take me back to my place,” she said. “Then you cap go and talk nonsense to Sophy.” They were back in the crowd now, and she dismissed him with a little" nod, He made his way quickly, to ‘tie’ spot where he had, seen Sophy... 'To | his disappointment,;,she, had.,, Ape peared. Graillot,,, however, came up and seized him bythe: arm, “Still playing the ‘moth, my young friend?” he exclaimed. “Aren’t the! wings sufficiently burmed yet?” “IT am afraid it’s become a perma- nent role,” John replied, as the two men shook hands. “Where have you becn all these weeks, and why haven't ! you been to see me?” “Paris, my dear young friend—Paris and life! Now Ledm back again—I um not sure that I know why.’ I eame over with these French people, ‘to jsee them start their thedter.

Why are you wandering about alone? Hasn't Louise been kind to you?” “She has been charming,” John de- clared promptly, “but she is surround- ed with all sorts of people I don’t know. I can't IRlp her. For one thing, my French is absurd. Then they are tll talking about things which I don’t understand in the least.” Sophy remained silent for a mo ment. Thén she took John’s arm ana led him to the buffet, “Give me an ice and a cigarette, will you, please? You are a dear, im- practical person, but you are as much out of this world as a human being {am all right, dear, It’s quite enough oleasure to see you looking So-beauti- ful, and to think that Iam going'to be allowed to drive you home afterward.” Louise looked into a neighboring mirror, and gazed critically at her own reflected image. She had a curi- ous feeling that at that precise mo- ment she had reached the zenith of her power and her charm, Her audi- ence at the theater had been wonder- tully sympathetic, had responded with tare appreciation to every turn of her voice, to every movement and gesture. The compliments, too, which she had been receiving from the crowds who had bent over her fingers that night nad been no idle words, She was conscious, acutely con- scious, of the atmosphere she had cre- ated around her. She was glorying in the subtle outward signs’ of it. She was in love with herself; in love, too, with this delightful new feeling of loving. It would have given her more joy than anything else in the world, in that moment of her triumph, to have passed her arm through John’s, to have led him up to them all, and to have said: i “After all, you see, Iam a-very sim- ole sort 6f women. I have done just the sort of simple thing that other women do, and I am glad of it—very glad and very happy!” Her lips moved to the music of her thoughts. John leaned toward her. “Did you say anything?” he asked. “You dear stupid, of course I did not! Or if I did, it was just one of those little whispers to oneself which mean nothing, yet which count for so much. Can I not do anything to make you enjoy yourself more?,I shall have to go back to my guests now. We are expecting a royal personage, and those two dears who keep so close to ny side do not speak a word of Eng- well could be!” John waited upon her without any further remark, The prince of Seyre, passing through, bowed to them. John looked after his retreating figure. An irresistible impulse seized him, jophy,” he ed, sitting down by her side, “tell me, why have the prince afl Louise always been such great friends? Sophy looked steadfastly at her ce, “I suppose because the prince is a very clever and cultivated person,” she said. “He has been of great as- sistance to Louise several times, It s he who financed Miles Faraday when he put on this play of Graillot’s, Graillot hasn’t a penny, you know, and poor Miles was almost broke after three failures.” That was just an investment,” John remarked irritably. “He will get his money back again.” “Of course,” Sophy agreed. “I think the prince generally manages to get value for what he does in life.” “You don't think Louise ever thought of caring for him, do you?” John persisted. Sophy paused until she had lit a cigarette. The expressioa in her face, when she looked up at John, irritated him vaguely. It was as if she were| talking to a child, | “I think,” she said, “you had better ask Louise that question yourself, don’t you?” ee eee Ce He asked it an hour or so later, | when at last the party of guests had | taken their leave, and, somewhat to! the well-bred surprise of the one or two friends who lingered, Louise bad beckoned to John to take her out to her ¢ar.° Her hand had sought his at oneé, her head rested a little wearily Me very contentedly upon his shoul- ler aie i _| State fire marshal’ { - “Louise, dear,” he began, “I asked Sophy a question tonight which I ought to have asked you.

There are many things that you and he have in common.” i.) 1, Louise was Jooking out.of, the, val dow at the thin.stream,of people, still suddenly to have become only the shadow of her former brillant self. “I think that ouce—perhaps twice,” she confessed, “I came very near to caring for him.” “And now?” “And now,” she repeated, suddenly gripping John’s hands, “I tell you that I am very much nearer hating him. So much for the prince! In ten min- utes we shall be at home, and you are such a dear stupid about coming in” You must try to say all the nice things inthe-world to me quickly—in ten minutes!” ” “How. shall I begin?’.he whispered, iS P once more ‘toward ‘him. ie need:any: hints,” she mur- put ‘You're really quite good at It (To be continued.)
