For If the Allies win Constantinople and the strait, Itusala can get ammunition through the Black Hea.

Norton, dye stuff 3 expert of the De partment of Commerce, has Issued a statement on the prospect of getting dyes for American use from Switzerland. "With each succeeding week the In cleaslng scarcity of coal tar dyestufts Is folt more and more acutely by Ameri can textile workers and also by a large group of other Industries dependent In varying degrees upon the element of jcolor," says Professor Norton. "Tho do mestic ayesiure inaustry is more than doubling Its normal output, but evidently for many months It will be far removed from supplying- more than a good-sized fraction of the urgent demand. "Under the circumstances, wide In terest is attached to a concerted action on the part of the leading manufacturers of artificial colors In Basel, Switzerland. The firms in question find themselves In a. serious dilemma. They are now prac tically cut off from all supplies of coal tar, crude and Intermediate compounds, and may soon be forced to close their vast establishments for an Indefinite period. In face of the threatened dan ger, they turn to the United States for assistance. "Fully aware of the latent possibilities in the American coke indnstry to pro duce coal tar crudes in enormous quan, titles and also of the great consumption of foreign-made dyes In the United States, the Swiss color firms now seek to secure an ample supply of American crudes, and to pay for them in finished dyes. They are In the market for 600 metric tons of aniline oil, and for the following quantities of nure mil .,,,. hydrocarbon: Eenzol, 100 tons; toluol. 100 .una, iiaimuwicne, aw ions. Any of these can be accepted In 10-ton lots and will be paid for by an equivalent amount of finished yea." Three Out of Four Shots Hit Moving Target nt 12,000 Yards.

X Well, you could hardly ex pect me to agree to that Infamous pro posal, so I decided to keep faltt with Huron and Dereve. Luckily I Hadn't told your father where his first wife had died, so I reckoned that without Dereve's as sistance he would never be able to prove the date of her death or to get rid of me. So, one night, when I thought he would be out till late, I telegraphed to Gilbert to come down. But at the 11th hour your futher returned and went straight up to his bedroom. I met Gilbert ahd the other man, Dereve, ln the garden. We all seemed horribly afraid, except Gilbert. He took, me aside and said It would be all right, that I could trust the American to keep silence once he had the plans. After some consultation, they decided to try their luck, while I kept your father engaged upstairs. "I went back into the house, leaving the door ajar so that the two men could get In. I began to speak to your father about the arrangement he had proposed, and to my surprise and relief he said he had been thinking things over and felt that he hod treated me unfairly. He confessed that he had made a new will, leaving everything away from me, but that he would destroy It that night. He added that he had sent for your friend Arrol, to get him to investigate the cir cumstances of his first wife's death. He had unbounded confidence in young Ar rol." Maud's eyes glistened with pleasure through her tears, Mrs. Plessey shrugged her shoulders and went on. "I was stricken with remorse when I heard that. Since George had turned up trumps, I didn't see why he should lose his plans. If 'he married roe again, I needn't care if Dereve proclaimed the. date of his sister's death on the housetops. So when I caught a slight sound from the study below, I spranp up and urged the admiral to go downstairs, as I was sure I heard burglars, "He bolted downstairs at once without troubling' to cairtrje servants. I snatched up his revolver and followed. When he threw open the door.-of the study I saw ailbert and Dereve Just about to make their escape. Tour father flew at Dereve and pinned him to the ground. At that moment the thought flashed across me that If I shot Dereve I should be helping your father and Killing the secret of that first marriage at the same time. So I fired, and to my horror saw I had shot your fattier instead pf the man lying under his knees." Maud clasped her hands. "Then ysu shot father by accident! Thank Heaven for .that" She drppped on her knees be side the older woman and fondled her hands. "Why didn't you tell me that fcetpret" Mrs. Plessey withdrew her hands and resumed the thread of her narrative. "Immediately I saw your father faj) De reve sprang up and made for the door, brushing past me as he we,nt Of course I ought to have fired a. second shot, but Gilbert wrenched the revolver out of my hand and threw.it down beside George He told me to go to my room and keep quiet. I obesed him and went to bed. I took a dose at veronal, afcd when I awak ned there waa the doctor telling me that your father had been found shot by XJeu tauant Arrol. There you have th whole stew ' Maud rested her elbows on her kntta aad put her hands to her brow. she. h trying to disentangle the threads of the try and of IU eonssquenees. "I stay ho stupid," she Od, "b I don't te what prevented year comhM, forward to say that you shot father In nslstaka for hi MMtlast " T iMfUt with. lfejkue no oh would have bll,vd . hi. . TJW Mrvut kiww that I had been quarreling with your father. The will excluding me- from all share ln.hls property would have been found (as I believed) and supplied an obvious motive for the crime. And If I had been believed Dereve'would have been arrested and confessed the whole story. It would have ber Bhown that I wasn't George's wife, and It's a hundred to one that I should have been put In the dock beside Dereve and Huron as an accessory before the fact. No, when Gilbert pointed out to me that Dereve was bound to keep quiet, because if he spoke he would cer tainly be charged with the murder, I de cided to say nothing." "And you let .larlln stand his trial for the murder?" Tdaud looked at the older woman In wondering reproach. Mrs. Plessey shifted Impatiently. "I should certainly have spoken If he had been convicted. As It was, the slight suspicion -attaching to him did him In finitely leas harm, than the truth would have done me. To my relief Huron had seized the will which cut me off, and said he- had destroyed It. Whether he has or not I don't know. I have often won dered. "The result of all this was that, while I got rid of that abject poltroon De reve, I had placed myself absolutely under Huron's thumb. He knows where to find your the death certificate of your father's first wife, and could prove us not to be entitled to the name we bear. And he has other cards up his sleeve. No doubt he and Dereve between them have concocted a plot which would make me more or less of an accessory to the mur der, and such in a. sense I suppose I was. So there's no help for It" Mrs, Plessey sighed "we. are absolutely in Gilbert's hands both of us." Maud rose to her feet and. gritted her teeth- "Huron Is a. scoundrel a fiend Incarnate," she muttered. "We must es cape from his clutches at all events." She paused to consider, "He appealed to mo this afternoon to get hold of these plana which Sydney Dereve, It seems, has disposed of to his brother. What dbea he propose to gain by that move?" Mrs. Plessey reflected. "I think he is playing straight. If the plans fall 'into the hands of the police and Devere la arrested the whole story will come out. You wll be disinherited, and I, as I have told you, wilt be placed In the dock. In this respect he seems to be acting as a gopd ally." Maud stood, her hands still clenched, perplexed and undecided. She realized that she and'h.er mother were flounderlnr In the meshes of Huron's net. At any moment he might draw it in and they would be morte at hla me,rcy even thn now. "But If the. plans are In my possession mlnel- ehe cried exultantly. "Jt In I who will have Dereve at my mercy, and Huron's power over us Is gone. Mother," she said, with a sudden des perate resolution. "I am golnr to see both these Derevea arid tonight." She kissed her mother and rushed out of the room Four minutes later from the window Mrs. Vltatty saw'her drive uwsy in a taslcab. The troubled woman, turned away a fa.ee which had grown whiter than when she told of her husband's death. She rested her head against her hand. "All that ha.d to be told sooner or later." she murmured, "and now what if she finds out the rest? Oh," she cried aloud, "she is sure to find out the ret!" It Is a long drive from south Kenslngtpn to Hampsted, and to Maud, frenzied with anxiety ana impatience, It seemed to con sume hours. Toe servant looked at her In owe surprise when she Inquired fjr Mr ft'"-K to ton plain to tb WB(rt tUMuMboM that 'Mt JtoWnssa" ium left that aMatoj for food. "Mr. Dereve has not come home yet, miss," she replied, "but Miss Dereve Is In, If you would like to see her." Maud hesitated. If Monty had been un frkndly that morning nothing was likely to have happened to effect a change In her feelings ln the meantime. She had mado up her mind to defer her visit to tho morning, when Monty herself crossed the hall and saw her standing at the door. In a moment she was at Maud's Bide nnd clasping her hand. "Do come In!" she begged, the tears In her eyes. "I was real mean to you this morning. I've been fret ting about it. Mr. Arrol is here." "Martin!" cried Maud, her face light ing up. "No, Itlchord.

"That was the young chap that Was carried over the side the third day out I'm no hand at that sort of thing. I think I'll get the chief slew ordess." Clemfort thought of the gaunt old woman who held that position and shuddered. "Let me tell her," he suggested. "1 guess I can handle It all right." The purser hesitated a moment. H. too, thought of the stewardess and her manner. Clemfort's -name was guarantee and he nodded his head. "All right. Thnnks," he said. "Get the address so no can send over his effects. Ho hurried away nnd Clemfort 'ap proached the girl. Sho smiled as he ap proached. "I can't hnve much longer to wait," she said. "Ali.iost every one has left. He cannot ba much longer now," "Perhaps," ho said softly, "there will be a long, a very long delay." The girl's fnco blanched. "You mean" she stammered. Clemfort nodded. "Be brave," ho urged, as he laid his hand upon her arm. "Tho ship passed through a storm four days ago. There was ono wave that Bwept tho decks. Your brother had slipped out, evading the rule and the wave came. In such a sea thore was no hope, though we did all that wo could. I did not know his name until Just now," Ho atood quiet for a moment until she had sobbed out her grief. All about them the little groups of reunited friends were laboring with the customs ofllcers and none noticed the little tragedy that waa bolng enacted. Presently the sobs grew less violent and Clemfort touched her arm. "His effects will be sent you If you will rtvo mo an addrese," he said gently. ''Would it not bo bettor for you to go? I will get a cab." "I I think I had better not have a cab," sho nald softly. "I I cannot " "You cannot go on tho ferry this way," he said. "Let me have your address and I will sop you safely to your home." Sho gave him an address In tho down town boarding house section nnd Clemfort took It down for tho purser. Then ho returned. "And now," ho said, "wo will get under way." "I couldn't think of taking you from your friends," sho said, drawing back. Clemfort Binllcd. "I have none on this sldo of the water now," ho said sadly. "There are none to, greet my home-coming." Sho looked up In quick sympathy. "You, too, are alone?" she oald, and Clemfort thrilled at that "too." It seemed to es tablish a bond of sympathy between them. In tho cab her tears broke forth afresh. Ho wisely let her sob out her grief. There waa little to tell of tho accident, and h sat silent, u was not until the cab en tered familiar territory that she regained control of herself. Then Bhe turned to mm. "You are awfully good,' she said grate fully. "You are so considerate. It must be an awful bother to you." "I am very glad to bo of service since Bervlce Is needful," he said. "It hai taken me out of my own bitter thoughts." For an instant her hand pressed his In sympathy. Then the cab rattled up to the curb and came to a stop before nn old-fashioned house. Gently he helped hor from tho cab and up the high stoop. "May I call tomorrow?" he asked, as a maid opened tho door. "In the evening," sho sold, "if you care to. I work through tho day. Thank you so much." For an Instant her hand rested In his ngaln and returned his cordial pressure. Clemfort ran down the steps and dis missed the cab. Then he strolled over to Fifth avenue and turned north toward the hotel he had selected. He Btopped ln at a florist's on the way up, and could ho have known the com fort the flowers brought the girl, he would have slept far better that nlirht.

I Imagine that your business will soon be closed up." "I wish there was hope for It," he said, "but I am afraid that I must wait jet a while." "You are worried about it?" she said quickly, as she noted hla expression, "How I wlBh I might help you." "You can," he Bald soberly. "Tho busl nesa that originally brought me here was ciosea up long ago." "Thero is something new?" "Something that I had no Idea of when I left England.
