CHAPTER I.
A Speck In the Sky,
j was Marta who first saw the speck
in ie sky. Her outcry and her bound
fro her seat at the testable brought
h« mother and Colonel Westerling
afr her onto the lawn, where they
bame motionless figures, screening;
Or eyes with their hands. The new
• and most wonderful thins In the
rid at the time was this speck ap
jxlng above the Irregular horizon o£
♦ Brown range. In view of a land-*
*pe that oenturles of civilization had
-tlllzed and cultivated and formed.
At the base of the range ran a line
white stone posts, placed by Inter-
Clonal commissions of surveyors to
.e nicety of an inch's variation. In
te very direction of the speck's flight
spur of foothills extended Into the
lain that stretched away to the Gray
ange, distinct at the distance of
hlrty miles In the bright afternoon
ight. Faithful to their part In refus
ng to climb, the white posts circled
irouivd the spur, hugging the levels.
In the lap of the spur was La Tir,
the old town, and on the other side
of the boundary lay tiouth La Tir, the
new town. Through both ran the dusty
ribbon of a road, drawn straight across
the plain and over the glistening
thread of a river. On its way to the
pass of the Brown range It skirted the
garden of the Gallands, which rose in
terraces to a seventeenth-century
house overlooking the old town from Its
outskirts. They were such a town, such
a road, such a landscape as you may
see on many European frontiers. Tho
Christian people who lived in the re
gion were like the Christian people
you know If you look for the realities
of human nature under the surface dif
ferences of language and habits.
Beyond the house rose the ruins of a
castle, Its tower still intact. Marta al
ways referred to the castle as the
baron; for in her girlhood she had a
way of personifying all Inanimate
things. If the caatle walls were cov
ered with hoar frost, she said that the
baron was shivering; if the wind tore
around the tower, she said that the
baron was groaning over the demo
cratic tendencies of the time. On such
a summer afternoon as this, the baron
was growing old gracefully, at peace
with his enemies.
Centuries older than the speck In
the eky was the baron; but the pass
road was many more, countless more,
centuries older than he. It had been
a trail for tribes long before Roman
legions won a victory In the pass,
which was acclaimed an Imperial tri
umph. To hold the pass was to hold
the range. All the blood shed there
would make a red river, inundating the
plain.
"Beside the old baron, we are par
venus." Marta would say. "And what
a parvenu the baron would havs been
to the Roman aristocrat!"
"Our family la old enough—none
older In the provtooaH* Mrs. Galland
would reply. "Marta, bow your mind
does wander! I'd get a headache Just
contemplatlng~<he things you are able
to think of In five minutes."
The first Galland had built a house
on the land that hta king had given
him for one of the most brilliant feata
of arms in the history of the pass.
Even the tower, raised to the glory
of an older family -whose descendants.
If any survived, were unaware at their
lineage, had become known as the
Galland tower. The Gallands were
footed In the soil of the frontier; they
rwsrs used to having war's hot breath
l>low past their doors they were at
tiome in the langvage and customs of
two peoples; theirs was a peculiar tra
dition, which Marta had absorbed with
her first breath. Town and plain and
fang e were the first vista of landscape
THURSDAY EVENING,
silk gown for a trip on the water has
a sad little look of not knowing what
is what! She looks pretentious and
self-conscious. She does not seem
ready for a romp or a lark such as
makes the charm of all outdoor ex
cursions.
The tailor made girl, however, has
a trim and pleasing appearance of be
ing ready for whatever betides of
wind and weather. She can meet
heat or chill suitably and she doos
not have the overstrained appearance
of having tried to do the right thing
and then of overdoing the wrong one.
Have your pumps well polished and
setting straight and firm on heels that
are not run down. Wear a fresh
white blouse and equally fresh white
gloves of silk or chamoisette. Put a
smart Tittle white pique collar and
flaring pique cuffs on your coat. And,
tie a soft-meshed, becoming veil over
a hat that goes with your tailored
suit—not an over-trimmed flower or
plume laden hat, but a simple, plain
hat such as you could make for your
self for less than the two dollars you
have to spend.
Have freshness and neatness the
keynote of your costume. You can
look so dainty in your trim blue
serge suit that everyone will find you
a charmingly refreshing sight at the
end of your excursion as well as at
the beginning.
thai she had seen; doubtless they
would be the last.
v One or two afternoons a week Col
pnel Hedworth Westerllng, commander
of the regimental poßt of the Grays on
the other side of the white poets,
stretched hie privilege of crossing the
frontier and appeared for tea at the
Gallands. It meant a pleasant half
hour breaking a long walk, a relief
from garrison surroundings, and in
■view of the order, received that morn
ing. this was to be a farewell call.
He had found Mrs. Galland an agree
able reflection of an aristocratic past.
The daughter had what he defined
vaguely ae girlish piquancy. He found
lit amusing to try to answer her un
usual Questions; he liked the variety
of her Inventive mind, with its flashes
of downright matter-of-factness.
Not until tea was served did he men*-
tlon his new assignment; he was going
to the general staff at the capital. Mrs.
Galland murmured her congratulation*
In conventional fashion.
Marta's chair was drawn back from
the table. She leaned forward in a
favorite position of hers when she was
Intensely Interested, with hande
.clasped over her knee, which her
mother always found aggravatingly
tomboyish. She had a mass of lustrous
black hair and a mouth rather large
In repose, but capable of changing
curves of emotion. Her large, dark
eyes, luminously deep under long
lashes, if not the reet of her face, had
beauty. Her head was bent, the
lashes forming a line with her brow
now, and her eyes had the still flame
of wonder that they had when she
was looking all around a thing and
through It to find what it meant.
"Some day you will bo chief of staff,
the head of Gray army!" she suddenly
exclaimed.
Westerling started ao if he had been
surprised In a secret. Then he flushed
slightly.
"Why?" he asked with forced care
lessness. "Your reasons? They're more
Interesting than your prophecy."
"Because you have the will to be,"
she said without emphasis, in the im
personal revelations of thought. "You
want power. You have, ambition."
He looked the picture of it, with bis
square Jaw, his well-moulded head set
close to the shoulders on a sturdy
neck, his even teeth showing as hit
lips parted in an unoonscioue smile.
"Marta, Marta! She is—ls so ex
plosive," Mrs. Oalland remarked apolo
getically to the colonel.
"I asked for her reasons. I brought
It on myself—and it is not a bad com
pliment," he replied. Indeed, he had
never received one so thrilling.
His smile, a emlle well pleased with
Itself, remained as Mrs. Galland begaa
to talk of other things, and its linger
ing satisfaction disappeared only with
Marta's cry at sight of the speck Id
the sky over the Brown range. 8h«
was out on the lawn before the othera
had risen from their seats.
"An aeroplane! Hurry!" she called.
How fast the speck grew!
Naturally, the business of wais
watching for every invention that
might serve its ends, was the first
patron of flight. Captain Arthur Lan
stron, pupil of a pioneer aviator, had
been warned by him and by the chief
of staff of the Browne, who wa» look
ing on, to keep la a circle close to the
ground. But he vu doing so well
that he thought he would try rising a
little higher. The summits of the range
shot under him, unfolding a variegated
rug of landscape. He dipped the planes
slightly, Intending to follow the range's
descent and again they answered to
his desire. The tower loomed before
him. as suddenly as If It had been shot
up out of the earth. He must turn,
and quickly, to avoid disaster; he must
turn, or he would be across the white
posts In the enemy's country.
"Oh!" groaned Marta and Mrs. Oal
land together.
In an agony of suspense they saw
the fragile creation of cloth and bam
boo and metal, which had seemed as
secure as an albatross riding on the
lap of a steady wind, dip far over,
careen back In the other direction, and
then the whirring noise that had grown
with its flight ceased. It was no longer
a thing of winged life, defying the law
of gravity, but a thing dead, falling un
der the burden of a living weight.
tTo be continued.!
A NEW SKIRT WITH
CIRCULAR FLOUNCE
The Fashionable Flared Effect is 0b»
taioed in Various Ways
By MAY MANTON
I
8372 Two-Piece Skirt, 24 to 34 waist.
It really seems as ?f there were no limit
to be set to the variations of the two-piece
skirt. This one shows fullness at the
upper edge arranged to give the effect
of box plaits while the shaped circular
flounoe renders it entirely new and indi
vidual. Besides being smart and In
every way desirable, the skirt is so simple
that any home dressmaker can make it
without difficulty. There are only two
seams and the flared flounce is arranged on
indicated lines. In the picture, one ma
terial is used throughout but something
more of a tunic effect could be obtained
by facing the skirt with a contrasting
material under and below the flounce and,
if a combination is desirable, such a sug
gestion may prove helpful. Skirts of the
kind will be worn with coats upon the
street and also with blouses within doors.
For the medium size, the skirt will
require 4 yds. of material 4 yds. of ma
terial 27, yds. 36, 44 or 50 In. wid*.
The width at the lower edpe is 1H yds.
The pattern 8372 is cut in sizes from 24
to 34 inches waist measure. It will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on receipt of

Fleet Can Soon Use
Canal, Says Barrett
New York, Aug. 27.—John Barrett,
director-general of the Pan American
Union, arrived here yesterday on the
United Fruit steamer Tenadores from
Panama, where he made the trip
through the canal on the Ancon, the
first vessel to pass from coast to coast.
Mr. Barrett said that additional
dredging was necessary, but that the
canal would permit the passage of the
largest battleship of the United States
within a month.
"The canal, on the occasion of its
opening to commerce, has proved it
self a complete success in every re
spect," said Mr. Barrett. "It is no
exaggeration to state that the canal
worked as if it had been in constant
use for a generation. Not only the
Ancon, a massage cargo carrier of 10,-
000 tons, drawing thirty feet of water,
but seven other vessels ranging from
a small private yacht up to great
freighters, passed through the canal
in the first three days without a single
hitch, accident or unpropitious inci
dent!"
