She sighed wearily. "I don't wish to be unfair, Gilbert. Of course I don't re sent what you have told me. It was a hocka bad shock, that's all." She moved toward tho door, then stopped. "It's rather a curious situation, Isn't It7 I remember now he Bald something about n coincidence. I-rl must think It over." With a burst of almost hysterical laugh ter she fled from the room. SENATOR PENROSE HITS WORLD PEACE SCHEMES CHAPTER V. "T WILL) find out I must find out overy JL thing," she muttered to herself as she closed tho street door behind her. Her mother had not yet returned. Huron, she found, had also gone outprobably back to his rooms or his club, in any case ho had no power to Intcrfero with her movements. She wanted to be In full possession of nil tho facts relating to her father's death before sho confronted him or her mother again. Sho felt deeply resentful against Huron. Ehe hardly knew why. He had dono what every one would consider his duty; he had even spared her probably a more painful surprise later on. But It was evi dent that ho believed In Martin's guilt, and sbo had already constituted herself advocato for tho defense. It was a sunny afternoon In May, and Kensington and ICnlghtsbrldgo seemed mostly peopled with pretty women and charming children. Maud's sense of strangeness grew fainter as sho walked briskly toward the British Museum. After all, sho una In her own country, among her own people. Over there, separated jrom ner uy nino or ten miles of London streets, lay Martin In his ship. Unless Bho otherwise willed, sho need never seo him or hear from him again. Tho last two months would bo blotted out of her life. How easy and safe a course It might seem to let him go. The next moment. staring at tho bright world around her, sho realized that sho wanted Martin more kthan sho had over wanted any one or Eming iu$ ner lire, no was the one ion In the world she cared about, who rt about her. Why should Rho ln. nim Decauso an unjust, an Infamous sus picion had not yet been completely dls- She turned Into tho park, relishing tho wnlk after her long confinement on ship board, and resolving not to take a cab till sho reached tho Marble Arch. As she swung along with tho freedom and swift ness of movement characteristic of tho girt used to sports from her childhood, her mind was as busy as her limbs. She was trying to discover exactly how much the revelation of Huron's meant to her. She remembered her father very faintly a broad-shouldered man with a squar? cut gray beard, ta loud laugh, and noisy, cheerful ways. She had been very fond of him, as little children generally aro of fathers whom they see rarely and whose tempers they are not allowed to try like those of their mothers and gov ernesses. Well her father had been killed and his murderer presumably ivna mill m large, as me dead man's only child, the duty, of avenging him might to supposed to fall on her. Look ing Into her heart and mind, she found she was not conscious of any such duty. She wondered If tho modern civilized Englishman had, not lost that capacl'y for revenge, which was once a for-e stronger than love or self-interest. Nowadays, she reflected, more perhaps than formerly, each generation has emo tions enough for Itself. Vfe are not at all ready to admit a liability for our father's debts. A Corslcan, she supposed, Mould know no peace or ease of mind tl'l the. price of blood had been paid. She knew, on the contrary, that, wero the murderer discovered, she would De Incapable of handing him to tho hang man. Like most university-taught girls of the present day, she did not err by eAcesalve reverence for law and tradi tion. The past welshed, aim ihnnrhi in, an Incubus on the present. She was ex asperated at Its Intrusion at this Juncture on her private and personal concerhs. Thirteen years seemed to her a very long time. (It Is a long time for those under 30 ) it had transformed her from a child in the nursery to Miss Plessey. Jr. A. (Honors English). She would cer tainly resent being; held responsible for the deeds of her childhood. So she had no thought of tracking down the slayer of her father. He. whoever he was. must have become a different man by this time -in fact, probably two different men. since we are told that the human body U completely ranewed every eight years. But if she was not concerned with bring ing; home hia gum tp the guilty, Ho was keenly Interested Irr" establishing the In nocence of the Innoeent. To be quite frank with herself, she desired only to tfar away the barrier between herself and the man she loved. S spmjm: JUUp a taxlcab as she Is- f?? th BDd "vras d-lven to the British Muwwn, She had spent some tlpaa In tu4y there, and knew exaatly WHZ 1 r ."PS" JnformatTonWS which she banpoiMd ta ha In nud. in. stead of erWftfng the VMtlbUle into the I wOing roojn turned ttji right and jur4 the nwa room. Her ringers trem Wsd a little, si fjll4 w ,he fotra. "Time. 8itfflbw4MNWtMr, im." She handed It to an attendant and took a scat near the window, gazing out va cantly Into Montague street. Then sho looked round tho room. It was tho most prosaic and workaday of places, yet It struck her that here to many a man and woman must first have been revealed the scandal or the tragedy which years be fore had determined tho course of their own lives. It was not a little cruel, this careful storing of tho records of our par ents' follies and crimes and falsified prophecies. Tho attendant Dlaced the huge bound volumes of tho Times before her on the upright reading desk. She blushed scar let as she hastily turned tho pages. It seemed to her that every one In the room must know who she was nnd for what sho was looking. Ah! hero was the first notice. Her father's name seemed writ ten In letters of fire on the clean printed page. "Tragic occurrence nt Portsmouth. Admiral Plessey found shot In his study." She turned over tho page and hurried 'on. It was no use wasting tlmo over theso first reports and rumors. She turned over page after page till at last sho came to the account of Mnrtln Arrol's trial nt Winchester Assizes for tho murder of Ad miral George Lascellcs Plessey. Tho acccuscd Was a sublieutenant In the noj-nl Navy, 21 years of age. (Maud looked up and made a mental calculation Martin would now be 31.) He had served ns a midshipman In the admiral's flag ship In eastern waters, and, being on shoro leavo at Portsmouth, was Invited to nis old chief's house, which lay a little wty out of the town on tho Petersfleld road. Ho dined two or three times a week nt the admiral's table and was on verv friendly terms with Mrs. Plessey (Maud drew In her breath sharply) whom ho often accompanied to theatres, dnrccs and other social functions. In the afternoon of September 10 the sublieutenant escorted Mrs. Plessey to a garden party, and, having accompanied her home, was observed to have some conversation with the admiral as ho was on tho point of departure. Nothing more was seen or mm at the admirals homo till half-past eleven that night, when tho footman, who was fast asleep In tho servants' parlor, was aroused by a call from tho head of the stolrs. Tho mnn found the lieutenant at the door of tho admiral's study, which he held half closed behind him. "Go at once for Doctor Maltland," he told him, "your master Is shot. I fear ho Is dead." Tho man, without entering the room, at once hurried to tho telephone and summoned tho doctor, who lived closo by. He then returned to the study, to which Arrol admitted him. The admiral was lying in an easy chair, his head thrown backwards. It was evident at first Rleht that he was dead. Thero was a hole, apparently made by a bullet. In his shirt front over his heart from which a thin stream of blood had proceeded. The room was In disorder. A couple of chairs were overturned and the floor was strewn with papers which seemed to hnve been swept oft the desk. Arrol was pale, but calm and self-possessed. Ho asked If Mrs. Plessey was In the house, and on the footman nssurlng him that sho was, told him not to disturb her till tho doctor came. Doctor Maltland arrived within a quar ter of nn hour of receiving tho telephone call. He at once pronounced tho admiral to be dead, and on closer examination sajd that ho must have been dead be tween n half and three-quarters of an hour. While he was conducting his ex amination of the body a police sergeant nrrlved. tho doctor having telephoned to tho nearest police Btatlon immediately on receipt of the news. The sublieutenant Informed them that he had received an Urgent message to coll upon the admiral at once. Ho had obeyed the summons instantly, nnd on reaching the house had found the door half open. Thinking It was unnecessary to ring at that com paratively late hour, he had proceeded at once to tho study, where he found the admiral lying dead on the floor, his re volver flung two or three yards away from him. tho allegations of the prosecuting counsel as odious and unjustifiable. Asked If she could offer any explanation of the allu sions In tho ndmlral's letter to "a matter of honor," or why or by whom ho should havo been grieved beyond expression, she professed completo Ignorance. Bhe In vited no one to the house and accepted no one's escort without his knowledge and approval. Ho had known tho ac cused for two or three years thero might bo a hundred grounds for a disagreement between them, entirely unconnected with her. Sho had heard, nothing of any dis pute between thetm? She did not know that her husbnnd was exDectlng tho sub lieutenant that night. She did not know that ho expected any visitors. Could she suggest how the front door came to be left open? By some servant's negligence she supposed, or by tho murderer, who ever ho was, when ho escaped. The wit ness left tho box sobbing hysterically. Arrol's defenso was a point-blank denial of his guilt. Also, through his counsel, he repudiated any suggestion of undue Inti macy with Mrs. Plessey, Ho admitted having used tho words overheard by the butler, and declared Hint, like the exnres- slons In the admiral's letter, they related to a matter in which the honor of a brother ofllcor was concerned. It was to discuss that affair that he called on the admiral on tho fatal night. The name of tho omcer or tho nature of the affair ho was bound In honor not to disclose. Tho Judge In his summing up told stress on the purely circumstantial nature of tho evidence, but pointed out that while the accused might very well hesltato to dls cIobo facts affecting another officer. It was difficult to believe that the other officer could be unaware that ho was re ferred to, or that knowing this ho would bo so baeo as not to come forward By this time every ono In the remotest de gree associated with Admiral Plessey must have heard of the crime nnd the line of defense nnd must be awnrp of the tremendous responsibility nttachlng tn him. His lordship certainly succeeded In unsettling the minds of tho Jury, for after being locked up from B o'clock until midnight they announced that they were unable to agree and were discharged. The result was received with cheers by tho crowd outsldo the court Maud turned over tho pages eagerly. Tho report of tho second trial was weari some reading. The evidence was sub stantially Identical with that given at the first trial. Mrs. Plessey, however, was reported to bo In a state of nervous pros tration, and neither Bide troubled to call her as a witness. In his speech the prosecuting counsel took his cue from the summing up at the first trial and argued that It was Incredible that no whisper should havo been heard of the affair af fecting tho honor of another officer to which the accused alluded, considering tho tlmo and attention the case had ab sorbed. However scnndnlous tho affair, no ofllcer would risk the greater nnd more lasting Infamy of keeping silence while Martin Arrol was on trial for his life. "Tho affair which Admiral Flessey wished to discuss that night with tho accused," concluded the counsel solemnly, "con corned tho honor of two ofllcors only himself and the accused." At this point Arrol remarked very audibly, "That's a He," and was ad monished by tho Judge, who told him that such Interruptions could not benefit his case. This time the Jury took only two hours to discover they would never agree, and Martin Arrol, with a shrug of his shoul ders, once moro followed the gaoler from tho dock. v Maud did not trouble more. Scores Fnntnstic Conferences Pleads for Adequate Defenses Before Sons of 'Veterans. A derlsivo spirit of criticism against "fantastic" schemes for world peace and a plea for an adequate national defenso characterized an address by Senator Boies Penrose beforo tho 33th annual encamp ment of the Stato division of the Sons of Veterans at the Hotel Watton today. Senator Penrose criticised the, recent peaco conference held In Independence Hall, characterizing "peace by force" theories as absurd. He said In part: "In these strenuous days, and with tho charlatan and theorist abroad, we aro apt to forget those baslo principles estab lished by Washington, Lincoln nnd Grant, "Where would our country bo had they listened to the suggestions abroad today. Would they havo been persuadod by the advocates of peace to disarm and permit the South to go Its way, devoted to human slavery and with the Union dis solved? Or would they have listened to tho recent fantastic suggestion made In Independence Hall at a conference. In tended to enforce peace to maintain peace by force which at that tlmo would have permitted the English Government and tho French Emperor to come hero with an army and telt us what to do. "Wo must bo prepared for tho national defense. Wo are not a military nation. We never waged war for aggression or for conquest But wo would be ridicu lous In tho eyes of tho world and likely to Invito attack and Invasion If we de HbTately neglected reasonable defense " William II. Pensyl, dTvlslon commander, presided nt the morning sosslon of tho organization, which more than 300 men attended. Charles L. Itulck, Junior past division commander, also made an ad dress.

The doctor undertook the un pleasant taBk of apprising Mrs. Plessey ji her husband's death. Her maid had some difficulty in rousing her. Having been lately troubled with sleeplessness, ns sho afterwards explained, she had taken a light opiate before going to bed. Sho seemed hardly conscious as sho listened to tho tragic tidings, and promptly went into a nt of hysterics. Meanwhile, the sublieutenant returned to his lodgings at Southsea. He was arrested next day nnd charged with the murder of tho admiral. Thero wero no Indications that a burglary or forcible entry had been attempted; the servants cleared themselves without dlf- Htuiiy 01 me laintest shadow of suspi cion. The medical evidence disproved any possibility of suicide. Leaning forward on her elbows, he cheeks pressed against her hands, Maud read on, following the development of the prosecution's theory. Tho pdmlral's butler swore that he saw tho accused talking to his master on his return from the garden party, nnd as he approached them heard him exclaim in an excited manner, "It's a foul nnd infamous calumny, unworthy of you. Blr." Whereupon the admiral had pointed toward the garden gate. At Arrol's lodgings were found the frag ments of a letter In the dead man's hand writing bearing tho words and phrases " thought I could rely on you," "matter of honor. "grieved beyond expr " Maud breathed faster, the color came ana weni in ner cneeus. Anxiety, curiost ty, overmasted her. What was the coun sel driving at? Her aching, straining eyes overleaped a couple of paragraphs. Ah, she had got at the gist of It. "Thero would npt, be much doubt In the Jury's mind that Admiral Plessey had good rea son to resent the extreme friendliness of 1110 young omcer witn Mrs. Plessey, and that the expression of his Indignation precipitated a quarrel which ended fatally for him." It seemed to Maud that Bhe blanched over her whol body. Crouching forward she placed her hand on that horrible paragraph and looked round stealthily. A man at the end of the leather-covered table was staring at her. He was admir ing hw beauty, but to her It seemed that he had detected her In the act of pene. tratlng her mother's seoret. She felt aa though she had been caught listening at a keyhole or opening; a letter that did not belong to her. She lowered her eyes and bent ante more over ths page. The man lookd away, ashamsd of having caused the girl so much embarrassment. Having read so far she was bound to continue. Jfer mother was among the first witnesses called by the prosecution She Indignantly denied that her husband had complained of her friendship with the ouvuxsu jjiuu r any oiper man.

Being fleet of foot and thereby able to dodge her hdsband's blows, the woman was present at the 61st and Thompson streets station when he was arraigned before Magistrate Boyle on the charge of assault and battery. It was the tlmeworn story of drink, temper and brutality. It appears that Arker, who lives at Moss and Brown streets, came home drunk. He didn't like his dinner and a number of other things sSmS9 and his wife least of all, so the police say, for he seized a knife when she dis agreed with him and chased her from the house. Arker was making all kinds of threats, it Is said, when Policeman Mc Donald arrived and shook the knife from his hand. Then ho took the man to the police station. His manner changed immediately. In a calm-like voice he told the Judge he loved his wife and that she was a very good woman. "I always loved her," he de clared. The trusting woman looked at 'him. Perhaps the thought of the early courting days were revived, when he was different Finally she said, "He s not so bad, Judge; only when he gets drunk. Do Bl him another qhsnoe."

That the German Foreign Offlco desires to avoid nnythlng likely to Interfere with a peaceful un derstanding with tho United States was tho Interpretation placed today on the suspension of the Deutscho Togo Zeltung, Whllo no further explanation was offered, It was accepted hero that Count Itevent low's comments upon tho Lusltanla sink ing and tho German-American negotia tions furnished the reason. Count Heventlow has been regarded as ono of tho firebrands of the present German-American situation. As a writer he won attention by his uncompromising stand for a greater German navy. Since tho sinking of tho Lusltanla ho has re peatedly Insisted that tho German Gov ernment coriccdo nothing to tho United Stales that might hinder the German sub marine campaign, During the last week Hoventlow launched soveral attacks against Dr. Eugen Zimmerman, director of tho Berlin Iokal Anzelger, for sug gesting that boss bly America was legally right in permitting the Bale of munitions of war to the Allies. Tho American colony considers tho suppression of tho Tage Zeltung the most significant development of tho whole situation. Hoventlow, tho Tage Zeltung's widely quoted naval and military writer, hue shown tho least tendency toward con ciliation of all the German writers. Tho fact that the paper that carried his ar ticles has been suspended Is, therefore, looked upon as a matter of great im portance. Eight Couples Wed at Elkton ELKTON, JI4, June 22.

THIS IS THE YEAR'S LONGEST DAY, WITH FIFTEEN HOURS OF SUNSHINE (?) Summer Solstice Is With Us, Though Weather Belies It Day Is Six Hours Longer Than Night. ' Why the Seasons Change, Fifteen hours, betweeri sunrise this morning and sunBet tonight constitute the longest day In the year from 4:30 a. m. to 7:J0 p. in. Just why this is the longest day In the year Is a great mys tery, fully as great a mystery as why there should be any .such thing as a day, or a year, or a world, for that mat ter, to experience days and years. But children will ask questions, so you mlsht as well give them this, in lieu of a better explanation. You see, the earth goes around tho sun once a year. Never mind, for the mo ment, the fact that It spins around It self once every 21 foours. That has noth ing to do with It. It goes around the sun once a year on an elliptical orbit .,10, 19 iu .ay, m ungusn, on a line shaped something; like the circumference of an egg, or a Zeppelin, or, rather, tike a steel hoop pulled out at two opposite aides. ' Now the axs of the earth (the line running- through the centri from pole to polef Is Inclined to the piano of Its orbit at an angle of H decree. To understand what "the plane of Its orbit" le. Imagine a sheet of paper stretched ?hVhaMflat rfa.C8 ,s lhe P'ane of the orbit.
