.##" The war was a week old —a week
pwhich had developed other tangents
And traps than La Tir—on the morn
iing that the first installment of junior
(officers came to occupy the tables and
kleaks. Where the family portraits had
bung in the dining-room were now big
maps dotted with brown and gray
flatfs. Portable field cabinets with
■actional maps on a large scale were
Eanged around the walls of the draw
-room. In what had been the loung
-room of the old days of Ualland
Sirosperity, the refrain of half a dozen
etograph instruments made medley
yith the clicking of typewriters. Cooks
End helpers were busy in the kitchen;
or the staff were to lire like gentle-
Bnen; they were to have their morning
'bathß, their comfortable beds, and
iregular meals. No twinge of lndlges
ftion or of rheumatism from exposure
wae to Interfere with the working of
jtheir precious intellectual processes.
(No detail of assistance would be lack
ing to save any bureaucratic head time
land labor. The bedrooms were appor
tioned according to rank—that of the
(master awaited the master; the best
servant's bedroom awaited Francois,
Ibis valet.
When Bouchard, the chief of intelll
|genoe, who fought the battle of wits
jand spies against Lanstron, came, two
hours before Westerling was due, the
'last of the staff except Westerling and
(his personal aide had arrived. Bouch
ard, with his iron-gray hair, bushy eye
brows, strong, aquiline nose, and
jhawk-llke eyes, his mouth hidden by
ta bristly mustache, wan lean and sat
furnine, and he was loyal. No jealous
(thought entered his mind at having to
kerve a man younger than himself.
|He did not serve a personality; he
laerved a chief of staff and a protes-
|alon. The score of words which es
caped him as he looked ovef the ar
rangements were all of directing criti
cism and bitten off sharply, as If he
regretted that he had to waste breath
In communicating even a thought.
"I tell nothing, but you tell me
[everything!" said Bouchard's hawk
ieyes. He was old-fashioned; he looked
(his part, .which was one of the many
Ipolnta of difference between him and
iLanstron as a chief of intelligence.
It lacked one minute to four when
(Hedworth Weaterling, chief of staff In
name as well as power now, alighted
Ifrom the gray automobile that turned
jln at the Oalland drive. His Excel
lency had not occupied hie new head
quarters as soon as he expected, but
(this could have no influence on results.
(If he had lost fifty thousand men on
the first two days and two hundred
jthousand since Mie war had begun,
ufhould he allow this to disturb his
[well-being of body or mind? His well
ibelng of body and mind meant the ulti
mate saving of lives.
Confidence was reflected In Wester
fling's bearing and in his smile of com
(mand as he passed through the staff
rooms, Turcas and Bouchard in his
(train, with tacit approval of the ar
rangements. Finally, Turcas, now vi<>e
chief of staff, and the other chiefs
lawalted his pleasure in the library,
(which wae to be his sanctum. On the
massive seventeenth-century desk lay
,B number of reports and suggestions.
(Weeterllng ran through them with ac
icustomed swiftness of sifting and then
(turned to his personal aide.
"Tell Francois that I will have tea
ton the veranda."
From the fact that he took with him
the papers that he had laid aeide, sub
ordinate generals, with the gift of un
•spoken directions which is a part of
their profession, understood that he
meant to go over the subjects requir
ing special attention while he had tea.
"Everything Is going well—well!"
be added.
"Well!" ran the unspoken communi
cation of confidence through the staff.
So well that His Excellency was
calmly taking tea on the veranda! For
the Indefatigable Turcas the detail;
for Westerllng the front of Jove.
He had told Marta only two weeks
ago that be should see her again If
war came; and war had come. Wltb
the lnv|ting prospect of a few holiday
momentß In which to continue the In
terview that had been abruptly cor
eluded In a hotel reception-room, he
started down the terrace steps. Above
the second terrace he saw a crown of
HE DARK HAIR

Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sane Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on

with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and

ready to use, for about 60 cents. Tills

A well-known downtown druggist

It has been applied—lt's so easy to

woman's hail—hair of jet abundance,
shading a face that brought familiar
completeness to the scene. Their
glances met where the path ended
at the second terrace flight; hers shot
with a beam of restrained and ques
tioning good humor that spoke at
least a truce to the Invader.
"You called sooner than I expected,"
she eald in a note of equivocal pleas
antry.
"Or I," he rejoined with a shade of
triumph, the politest of triumph. He
was a step above her, her head on a
lev.? with the pocket of his blouse.
His square shoulders, commanding
height, and military erectness were
thus emphasized, as was her own femi
nine slightnees.
"I want to thank you," she said. "A 8
becomes a soldier, your forethought
was expressed in action. It wa* the
promptness of the men you sent to
look after the garden which saved the
uprooted plants before they were past
recovery."
"I wished it for your sake and some
what for my own sake to be the same
that it was in the days when I used
to call," he said graciously. "Tea was
from four to five, do you remember?
Will you join me? I have just ordered
it."
A generous, pleasant conqueror,
this! No one knew better than Wester
ling how to be one when he chose. He
was something of an actor. Leaders
of men of his type usually are.
"Why, yes. Very gladly!" she as
sented with no undue cordiality and
no undue constraint, quite as if there
•were no war.
Neutrality could not be better Im
personated, he thought, than in the
even cleaving of her lip* orver the
words. They seemed to say that a
Storm had come and gone and a new
set of masters had taken the place of
the old. As they approached the
veranda Francois was placing the tea
thiags.
"Just like the old days, Isn't it?" he
exclaimed with his first sip, convinced
that the officers' commissary supplied
>exoellent tea in the field.
"Yes, for the moment'—lf we forget
the war!" she replied, and looked
away, preoccupied, toward the land
scape.
If we forget the war! She bore on
the words rather grimly. The change
that he had noted between the Marta
of the hotel reception-room and the
Marta of the moment was not alto
gether the work of ten years. It had
developed since she was In the capi
tal. In these three weeks war had
been brought to her door. She had
"been under heavy fire. Yet this sub
ject of the war was the one which he,
as an invader, considered himself
bound to avoid.
"We do forget it at tea. donl we?"
he asked.
"At least we need not speak of It!**
ehe replied.
"I am staying tonight. I was going
to ask If you wouldn't remain on the
veranda while I go over these pa
pers. It—it would be very cozy and
pleasant."
"Why, yes," Bhe agreed with evMent
pleasure.
Turcas came, In answer to Wester
ling's ring. The orders and sugges
tions on the table seemed to be the
product of this lath of a man, the vice
chief, but a lath of steel, not wood,
who appeared a runner trained for a
race of Intellects in the scratch class.
One by one, almost perfunctoHJy,
Westerllng gave his assent as he
passed the papers to Turcas; while
Turcas's dry voice, coming from be
tween a narrow opening of the thin,
lips, gave his reasons with a rapid
flrer's precision in answer to his
chief's inquiries.
With each order somewhere along
that frontier some unit of a great or
ganism would respond. The reserves
from this position would be trans
ferred to that; such a position would
be felt out before dark by a reconnois
sancs In force, however costly; the
rapid-flrers of the 19th Division would
be transferred to the 20th; despite the
87th Brigade's losses, it would still
form the advance; General Boand-3o
would be superseded after his failure
of yesterday; Colonel So-and-So would
take his place as acting major-general;
more care must be exercised In recom
mendations for bronze crosses, lest
their value so depreciate that officers
and men would lack incentive to win
them.
Marta was having a look behind the
scenes at the fountainhead of great
eventH. Power! power! The abso
lute power of the soldier In the saddle,
with premier and government and all
the Institutions of peace only a dim
background for the processes of war!
Opposite her was a man who could
make and unmake not only generals
but even the destinies of peoples. By
every sign he enjoyed his power for
its own sake. There must be a chief
of the live millions, which were as a
moving forest of destruction, and here
was the chief, his strength .reflected
in the strong muscles of his short
neck as he turned his head to listen
to Turcas. Marta recalled the con
trast between Westerllng and Lan-
Btron as they faced each other after
the wreck of the aeroplane ten years
ago; the Iron Invincibility of the
elder's sturdy, mature figure and the
alert, high-strung Invincibility of the
slighter figure of Younger man.

!An Astonishing Interest Dis
! played by the Children of This
City in a Great Historical Work
I We were told by competent critics
when we first undertook the distri
bution of J.arned's History of tho
' World In tills city that we would find
I ih< children among its most entliusi
| astlc admirers. We find this prediction
I lias come true. Hundreds of boys and
! Klrls. even as young as ten years, have
| been among the crowds thronging our
ottice daily, and have carried off their
I treasure with exclamations of delight.
| Their still smaller brothers and sis- i
ters pore over the illustrations by the
hour. The reproductions of famous
historical paintings in actual colors
I have an absorbing interest. The nu
! inerous halftones with which the five
volumes are embellished likewise
afford endless fascination. No work
of its kind has ever been so widely
and beautifully illustrated. But the
iext is also a feature enjoyed by the
young, since It is written in a style
that is clarity itself, and easily under
stood and retained by the youthful
mind. We do not hesitate to say that
it. a real duty of the parents of this
; community to give their children a
! work that will inculcate a never-dying
thirst for knowledw, and impart a
taste for information of a kind that
is bound to influence their whole lives
for the best and worthiest tilings. The
coupons printed daily In Ibis paper
will, we believe, exert an incalculable
effect on the future generations of this
city and other places where this paper
circulates. They shoukl be clipped at
j once, as the advantage they offer will
, probably not be obtainable much
■ longer.
