He smiled at Marle, Withdrawing from her hus- band’s semi-embrace, she went to the Lieutenant, as though leaving a dark room for the sunlight. Capt. De Corlaix returned to his chair and sat down, his trend of thought reverting immediately to matters of intensely serious moment. ese The date was Aug. 3, 1914. The Kaiser's steel-begirdled hosts were mobilized and champing at ‘the bit. The lust of conquest imbued their very souls and restraint seemed out of the question. Germans, from Wil- helm down, were holding high the stein and singing valorous praises to the arms of the Fatherland. Ger- many, prepared to fight, must fight, beyond a doubt and, with memories of hatred, engendered for years in old hearts and handed down to younger ones, Germany frowned at France. A crisis was at hand for the republic of the poppies. The Chamber of Deputies, sleepless yet in the throes of excitement, con- sidered the situation from all angles. Would it be a declaration of war, or could peace be maintained? ‘All France awaited the decision of the lawmakers, restless, marching, sing- ing and cheering to release pent-up feelings. If it be peace, tears of joy would follow; if it be war, it would be war to the knife—for France. The Alma, swaying with the easy motion of the waves, was marking time. Complacency was the outward attityde of her entire complement of officérs and men; in their hearts was eager expectancy. Shore leave haa been abandoned» but a policy of “eat, drink and be merry" had been sub- stituted. Capt. De Corlaix was host ata little dance aboard ship to which had come several ladies, including Marie and her sister, Alice Perlet. The 10 o'clock tug would take the itors to land, or the 11 o'clock at the latest, Happiness until 11 must be maintained, no matter what the wireless might announce. “Goodby” to Marie from her hus- band might mean the last farewell— but she should not realize it while on the ship. It was a brave man's plan to save the woman he loved distress. As Marie moved away to D'‘Artelle, Lieut, Brambourg smiled slyly at the Captain, “Captain,” jhe said, “you're being punished for’ being ‘so pteoccupied with duty. Your charming wife has deserted you. Now Lieut, D'Artelle will engage her with’ flattering re- marks, such as any man would like to d on thousand compliments,” Captain good-naturedly about the dance?” “We're only waiting for the signal, sir.” Marie and D‘Artelle strolled back within hearing as Chief Engineer Jacques Birodat, overhearing the Cap- tain's question, applauded. “Hurrah for old Terpsichore!" he said, “Why worry about war when we can dance?” The word “war” caused Marie to turn quickly from her escort. | “War—ugh!
