I.TT REALLY Is flno to see how the spirit
S'of Datrlotism has come upon all. and
.1 think very few of us reallzo how very
thoroughly our men of business and high
.Bnance aro preparing uiemseivt-a iu uu-
fend their country. All through tho city,
ilia the early evening stray companies aie
Etobe found drilling in the-streets and out
pi' the country volunteer companies aro
t learning how to hold tho ilfle, how to
n, how to fire, how to march and all
r th rest of it. One day last week I found
fthe two sides of Walnut street between
p.went!eth and Twenty-first filled with
Lrows of men, some In uniforms, somo In
kfcusiness suits. Out in St. Martins a vol-
wnteer reserve organization has started
Fin for military training. And men from
IChestnut Hill and thereabouts aro drill-
Blunder tho command of Colonel Charles
Cresswell, formerly colonel of tho
hlrd Regiment. The call has met with
Teat enthusiasm and support from tho
n In these Communities and drills aro
isjd on Saturday afternoons at 4 o'clock
tad on Sunday mornings at halt after 8
M'clock on St. Martins Green, opposite

1LE on tho subject of war and
economy, why Is It. somo persons
v not tho courage of their convlc-
tons. Only last week I heard a woman
ttpunce In strong tones that sho and
husband had decided not to havo
servo any wlno In tho houso all
trough the war. It was not a necessity,
h said, and would undoubtedly help in
j? general economy. Ti struck mo It
puid help their individual economy, but
h'iii not say so, for It persons can bo
Me to eee that It would bo well to
onomlze in this way or in any way,
mw oe, eay I. She thought every one
pwiout exception should glvo it up for
Jw of example. Then why didn't
stick to her guns when tho woman to
ota she was talking said: "Oh, have
P? Why John and I havo Just laid In
pii-eah stock, because wo knew wine
1'- probably go up and we thought wo
UJ4 get It now, while we could." The
paker Immediately capitulated ana
"Well, of course, your husband
thave It, I suppose, but then ho takes
', noma and bo there Is no bad ex-
Pw" and never a word did Bho say
ttt'the greatness of self-denial and
lomy, as Bho had before. I suppose if
jf tuck to what -die said first she
i have gotten herself disliked. And
COUld not stand for that. '

ELSE forget," he interrupted
nulckly. "What do ou say If wo blot
out all this mystcty and just bo natural for
a whllo? I have been mono so long, nmtng
1 Jo a criminal, it will be a wonderful plcas
Viro to convcrso with Mimo one. Hao ou
tho Mlghtost knovncdgo of hero wo are,
Sir. Hollla? "What Is that light flashing out
yonder?"
I Joined her at tho rail, looking out across
tho expanse of water nt tho distant gleam.
"Slontauk Point," I answered, instantly
recognizing tho peculiar Hash. "Tho t.ist
crn extremity of Long Island Wo shall
bo breasting tho Atlantic by daylight If all
is well. I imo good reabon to remember
Slontauk."
"Y03? Tou were thcro7"
"Onco; why It was sixteen years ago at
tho close of our war with Spain. I tcrved
on tho St. Paul, and wo came up from
Cuba loaded with sick and wounded Eoldlcrs
Sllchlgan troops mostly and put them
nshoro at Slontauk. I was little more than
a boy then, nnd tho suffering witnessed
mado a deep Impression."
"You were a pallor?"
"I was twelvo years nt sea; my father
was a largo shipowner."
"You sai'cd In his ships?"
"Not altogether; I ran nwny to make
my first voyage, a long ono to Austtalla.
Eater, when ho dlscoveted I could not bo
wenncd from tho life, I wasglcn employ
ment on his line, but do not think our re
lationship ever greatly aided mo otherwise."
"Dut you you said you lived in Chi
cago?" "For somo years I left tho sea when I
was thirty; I had nrlscn to command, my
father died nnd 1 decided I had had enough.
I supposo I seem qulto nnclent to you?"
"Indeed you do not. I think It Is won
derful for you to fight your way like that,
when your father was rich. It was a man's
work. Why, Sir. nolU3, I am not a child."
"Is ago another of your secrets?"
"Not by any means ; I am nineteen what
mado you smllo?"
"No discourtesy, I assuro you; nineteen
Is an ago I am always bound to roapect;
at nineteen I was third mato on the Re
triever en route for Uahla, and never slnco
havo I felt tho importance of llfo.as vividly
as T did then."
Sho looked up Into my face questlonlngly.
"That Is not altogether nlco of you," she
said. "When I rermlt you to remain and
talk with mo, you should not make fun. Be
sides, a girl at nineteen, and a boy they
nro not tho same are they?"
"Quito different, I should eay; although
tho truth Is, SIIss Vera, It has noer been
my privilege to know a great deal about
girls."
"I llko to hear you say that. Slost men
I hae met pretend to know all nbout them ;
then they act and talk llko fools. Did you
havo no sisters?"
"None, or brothers cither ; I chanced to bo
tho only child. Then I went to sea so early
In life I failed to ncruilro tho habit of seek
ing companionship with your sex. My tlmo
of development was passed entirely with
men, and, I confess, that afterward I havo
never felt aulto at homo among women. No
doubt that explains why I am still a bach
elor." . ...
"Tell mo about it," sha exclaimed eagerly.
"Your sen. life, I mean."
"Really thero Is nothing to tell."
"Oh, yes thero Is; tho things one docs
not read In books. If I was not a girl, I
actually believe I should bo a sailor tho
ocean fascinates me."
"You know It well?"
"Only from two short trips to Europo
and ono to the Bahamas; mero pleasure
Jaunts in summer weather. Tell mo about
the other side of tho picture the ocean the
real pallor knows."
The eagerness of her voice must have
touched a responsive chord, for almost be
fore I realised my purpose I began speak
ing. Never before did my experiences at
sea como bnck to mind with such vivid
ness ; they gave color to my words,, while
tho evldont appreciation of the grl, leaning
over the rail In tho (starlight, stimulated my
memory. I began at tho first, relating my
life as cabin boy and as man-beforo-tho-mast
my first vqyage as mato and tho
experiences of my earliest command. I
told ot shipwreck in the South Seas; of a
battle for life in the Indian Ocean; of
Btrange peoples met in every quarter of
the earth ; of fighting wintry galea oft the
Atlant coast and the silent desolation of
tMnin sen's. Breathless "with Interest she

dream did not go. Interested ns 1 was.
thero seemed to bo between us n. hauler

turned toward mo In tho stai -shine Why,
pho would bo scarcely out of tehool, or pre

to a set wliero such presentation was good
form. Ay, and whero did sho belong?
What secret purpose had brought her on
board? What possible ep'anatlon could
bo offered for her presence' She was not
ot tho submerged tenth, that was nlnlnlv
evident. Never had I been guilty of draw

"Really, I must havo nearly talked you

"Perhaps I do not understand."
"Doubtless not, for you aro not a girl,
nnd you toll mo you never bought society,
Tho 'ciy nature of your llfo has left you
frank nnd straightforward. You talk to mo
just as you would to a man. Slost men
try to bo funny and entertaining ns though
I was a hany to bo amused. I liato that!
I am not so young I cannot think rind

"If my frankness has Interested you,"
I ventured, "can you not realize how
much I deslro to learn moro who you
nro? why you nro hero?"
"Of courso; but I cannot tell you, Sir.
Hollls not yet."
Sho looked at her wrist watch, holding It
out Into a star-gleam, which revealed tho
whito shapeliness of her nrm.
"I daro not oven remain hero with you
longor."
"But you will como ngaln? This is not
to bo our last meotlng?"
Sho hesitated, her eyes meeting mlno
almost kindly; then sho held out her
hand.
"Tho last yos, in this way. You will
meet mo ngaln, but not ns we havo tonight
I havo truly enjoyed being with you, ot
hearing your story but this meotlng hero
nlono was not my cholco. You understand
I could not avoid It, and after I w,as dls
covered, I had to remain and win your
pledgo to socrocy. You will not forget
thnt?"
"Assuredly not. Tou will not return to
tho deck tomorrow night?"
Sho laughed softly, and withdrew her
hand, which I still held.
'Tomorrow night 1 Oh, I cannot toll;
wo may bo far enough at sea by then so
I need no longer seek fresh air by night.
I told you my concealment was only tem
porary. But," and her volco became seri
ous, "If I deem it necessary to continue
this masquerade, you would not keep mo
a prisonor below, I hope?"
"You mean that if I wait for you here,
my presenco will banish you from the
deck?"
"Yes, for that would bo an appointment,
n prearranged meeting to which I could
not consent. It would cost mo your re
spect." "Never," I protested, "nothing could
lead to that. Strange as all this mystery
s, I believe your actions Justifiable; I
do not oven ask an explanation."
"You have, Indeed, been very kind, very
considerate. I cannot thank you enough.
Surely you will grant this last request
also?".
"That I will not seek you again alone?"
"Yes; but there Is no need to repeat
tho request, you aro a gentleman ; good

In darkness. Only one fact remained stead
fast to which I could cling with confidence
tho girl was no mere adventuress, no
criminal; she was doing nothing of which
sho was in tha least ashamed, nor had sha
the slightest fear of conscquonces.
Tho after deck was desertod ns I went
below nnd sought my stateroom. In tho
berth I Iny nnd thought, but to equally
poor rosults. Word by word I reviewed
our conversation, endeavoring to recall somo
expression which might yield mo somo faint
cluo. Tho name. "Vera." haunted mo with
tantalizing memory, yet I could not bring
back from tho past ItH association. Still
endeavoring to recall tho list of acquaint
ances In hopo of thus touching somo spring
of recollection, I lost consciousness and
slept,
I slept so soundly ns to bo the Inst guest
nt tho breakfast tablo tho next morning,
although as I sat thero nlono Fosdlck re
turned from tho deck to tho cabin, seeking
a raincoat, nnd reporting n heavy fog,
through which tho jacht wns proceeding
slowly. Ho paused to exchnngo a few words,
resting on tlin nrm of a chair, smoking.
Tho rssel was still within easy lcw of
Slontauk. or had been beforo tho mist shut
down, but tho teally Important news had
como to Carrlngton by wireless poslttvo
Information of tho outbreak of war. Rus
sia nnd Franco wcro pitted ugalnst Ger
many and Austria In tho death grapple.
Tho Oermiin troops had already in gun tin
luvnBlon of Holglum on their dile toward
I'ails It wns ntlll unknown what courso
England would take
Tho tiaturn of this news obscured nil
else, and left mo utuiblo to ooinplcto my
meal. Other messages wero momentarily
expected, nnd 1 dressed hastily, nnd Joined
tho llttlo gtoup on tho deck. It wns n. raw,
di-ngiPPnblo morning, tho fog shutting In
closo nbout us, nn Impencttablo curtain,
tho vni'ht nosing lu way forward with ut
most care. Its siren walling out ccry mo
ment In wanting. From tho companion I
rould barely distinguish tho outlines of
tho bridge enveloped In folds of 'apor,
nnd overside pereelo a nan nw lano of
frothy water Tho air was heavy with
moisture, nnd tho passengets on deck wcro
huddled beneath tho protection of tho awn
ing, their interest in tho rerelpt of news
nlono keeping them on deck. I Joined
them Jti3t ns a cabin boy handed Carrlng
ton a new message. Ho read It, crashing
ids clenched hand down on tho rail.
"It's nil over with now," ho exclaimed,
holding tho paper aloft, and gazing about
Into our eager faces.
"England declares war, gentlemen. She
will stand by her treaty with Belgium.
Hero Is our opportunity; listen to mo. This
Is going to bo tho greatest war In history;
ccty nation In Europo may bo Involved
beforo It Is ended. Do you reallzo the
commodity most lit demand ; tho ono metal
thoM) nrmles cannot get along without? It
Is copper. They must havo it, and they
must buy It of us This morning, as soon
ns I recolved that fltst dispatch, I wired
my agents to buy, buy, buy. Now, with
England in, tho result is certain '
Ho paused and studied tho faces In the
gtoup.
"Gentlemen, thero Is wealth enough hero
on this yacht to control tho entlro copper
output If wo work swlftlv Tho profit will
bo enormous. I havo the campaign all
mapped out. I know whero to buy, and my
agents nro ready to executo my orders. I
am going to say to you frankly that I had
this thought In mind when I first organized
this crulso. I "Invited you to Join me-very
l.ugoly because of what you represent in
tho business world, I believed this crisis
was approaching and prepared for It. I
wanted jou men together, away from every
other Influence, wheio jou could mako quick
decision. Our very nbsenco from New York,
which has been widely advertised, will tend
to. allay all posslblo suspicion that wo nro
Influencing tho market. By wireless wo
can opernto surely and secretly, with no
posslblo fear of betrayal. Tho only question
la, nro you ready to back mo up?"
Tho expressions on tho fnecs of thoso
gathered about him felloctcd tho arled
characters of tho men. Thoy wero nllko
btnrtled by tho unexpected turn of nffalrs,
yet financial gteed evidently predominated,
Even tho ono German In tho. group had
seemlhgly forgotten his nationality In view
ot tho golden bait dangling so temptingly
beforo his eyes. Fosdlclb actuated by bis
lawyer instincts, and btlll cool and calculat
ing, was fit st to question tho proposition.
"You aro petfcctly assured of being able
to control the market?" Jio nslced.
"I already lrtually control," roturned
Caitington confidently "AVIth a llttlo moro
capital tho gamo Is certain. Sly ngents
havo everything buyable located and n price

closedown tweho hours, gentlemen, we
ran havo tho copper situation entirely In
our hands. Heio are my holdings In

ncqulrcd options on 25 per cent moro. I
need your help to closo tho deal."
They bent over tho papers, eager to grasp
tho truth, but abundantly satisfied with a
quick glanco at tho magio figures. It was
evidently enough a master stroko. a busi
ness deal easy to comprehend, and all that
remained for them to do was to tako their
profits.
Vim you return Immediately to Now
York?" questioned SIcCann, his lips trem
bling. "Certainly not; our gamo at present is to
keep out of sight; permit no ono to dis
cover who is behind tho movement. Your
personal checks will ratlsfy mc. I propoo
holding tho yacht, say, a hundred miles
from bhore, and conduct tho entire business
by wireless. That makes It pafo nnd sure."
Tho group of financiers stared nt each
other, ono waiting for tho next to olco de
cision Fosdlck, as usual, took the Initia
tive " ,. .
I'm heartily with you, Carrlngton," he
said frankly; "you can count onmy check
for 100.000 right now."
"And I," "and I," echoed from lip to lip.
"It look's llko mighty easy money," added
SIcCann, "and I need a little."
Carrlngton, smiling pleasantly, turned to
ward me.
