It can sce! only the “bad politics” of assenting to an army increase which the! “labor vote” and other electoral elements view with disfavor. It lumps all proposals for a larger standing army under the abhorrent term “Militarism” and refuses to accept from the Senate any bill that, t aims at substantial strengthening of the nation’s regular fighting | force. Meanwhile the National Guard of three and maybe more States! must be called from industrial pursuits to do police work along the { Mexican boundary and thereby save the country from insolent attacks| to which unpreparedness renders it liable. What do the American people think of the situation? Can even! the professional pacifists view with calm and approval the looting of | towns and the killing of Americans on their own side of the Mexican | line? Can they think it desirable that thousands of militiamen} should be taken from their regular occupations to do a job that an adequate standing army could accomplish ten times more expedi- tiously and at less cost? Where is the country’s common sense? Where is its spirit? Why isn’t every Congressman hearing from his constituents on the @ubject of national defense in a way that he cannot misunderstand ? No right-minded American can put up with the pacifists’ “small army” talk when bodies of armed men are pushing at will over the nation’s borders. Van Koeren was a wealthy Dutch merchant. He built his great country house here and had another house on Pearl Street. But he spent e@ most of his time at the former home, he and his pretty Belgian wife. The couple had one child, Alain, a son. Between the boy and his \ father, from the first, there was fierce dislike and misunderstanding, After the wife and mother died, Van Koeren ended the bitter feud bg driving Alainefrom home and vowing that the lad should never touch om | penny of the vast family fortune. Yet, on his death bed, the old man started from a stupor, to gasp dis connectedly: “1 was wrong! find" — He sank back dead. In the moment of dying, his heart had evidently | softened toward his {il-treated son; and he had sought, too late, to right | the wrong he had done, Hae ite wee My unfounded For God's sake, look in—— You will His last words took on a new meaning, when no vestige of his supposedly great wealth could be found, And people fell to recalling those odd last words of his. Had he been trying to tell where he had hidden his fortune? Alain had meantime married, and had died pennt- | less, leaving one daughter, Alice, who, to support herself, became a governess, |g... The old house remained tenantless. Alice could not afford to live there. And other people shunned it because old Van Koeren's ghost was thought to haunt ft, At last Alice became engaged to Minor, a young writer, Minor, with his chum, Jasper Joye, took the Van Koeren house for the summer, On Minor’s first night in the room where the old merchant had dled, he was awakened by a chilly draught of air, Before him #tood the ghost of Van Koeren, carrying in its phantom hands a curiously curved pot of tulips. The spectre held forward the tulip pot, gazed fixedly at it—and vanished. Minor sprang out of bed, wakened his chum, and declared he had a clue to the lost treasure. The two men rushed out into the garden and began digging among the antique tulip beds, All day they dug, but to no result, Coming into the house worn out at dusk, they chanced to notice a dec- oration above the library mantel shelf, It was a colored bas-relief of a pot of tulips. Minor recognized the design at once as that of the pot of tulips | carried by the ghost. He and Joye tugged and pried at the bas-relief until their hands were raw. Then Joye twisted it to one side, At once the whole section of wains- Coting fell forward as if fastened by a hinge, and revealed a safe behind the wall, Paerananoaaaate A Lost } Fortune.
