Trask's address. So that's where you
were? Well, what have you got to
ay?"
Desperately May said:.

Strickland raised his hand, holding
the fatal card:
"Wait a minute. It was Trask's
house you went to. wasn't it?"
"Yes."
Then your friend then her mother
and the Utter you destroyed were
nil lios. weren't they?"
Yes. but listen to me."
With forced calm Strickland said:
Go ahead. I'm listening. I want to
know" vhy you went to Trask's house."
In jerky, disconnected sentences May
Stiuklaiid commenced the last lie she
was to tell to her husband.

"With him?"
"No, alone; the housekeeper showed
me through."
"So that's why you went down to
look at the house?"
"Yes."
Then why have yon been lying
to me?"
"I thought you might not like it. It
was a foolish thing to do going to a
stranger's home and your manner
seemed so suspicious you forced me
into It."
For a moment the past events of this
Eight shaped themselves in Strickland's
in hid. He asked:
"When I introduced you tonight you
pretended you'd never met each other."
"We hadn't."
"How did you know his address,
then?"
"I called him up. I couldn't go with
out asking his permission."
There was disbelief, strong and mark
ed. In Strickland's voice as lie pursued
the relentless questioning again:
"So you called him up to ask permis
sion to visit his house a man you'd
never met?"
"He's a friend of yours. I didn't see
any harm."
"And he gave you his address over
the telephone?"
"Yes."
Strickland's last question had been
put in a voice that marked the last
degree of repression. He had held
himself in leash since the outburst In
which he had wrenched the purse from
his wife's grasp. It had been a mighty
effort, and as he had questioned his
wife his hands had clinched and un-
"Because no, no; I can't tell you!"
clinched; the veins on his forehead
had stood out. Now his passion passed
the bounds of restraint, and he fairly
shouted at her:
"That's the last lie you'll toll mei"
May recoiled from him. Her body
peemed to shrink as she threw up both
hands to her cheeks, smd her voice was
weak as she said:
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that this address is in
Trask's handwriting."
The words struck the woman like a
blow. With a little cry she seated her
self on the sofa and rested her head
on one hand. He followed her across
the room and stood over her as he
went on:
"I want the truth now. You met
Jrask before tonight?"
"Yes."
"He came here?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"Night before last."
"And you arranged to go down there
yesterday? He was there? You went
down there to me?t him my Cod'"'
It was her very last chance, she
thought. Doing her utmost to collect
herself, to summon up all her powers,
to call to her aid the love and trust
be had always given to her, 6he said:
"Kobert, dear"

ful thunderstorm that was about to
break over the couple. Perhaps it was
the prompting of affection for the

suss
"Youcau'nell Tne? "You mean no;
say it's not true'"
He paused in his distraction, still
hoping perhaps that bis wife could ex
culpate herself from the horrible sus
picion that had been gathering in his
brain. She could not answer for a
few seconds. She was gathering
strength for a last final appeal to him.
"Won't you answer? Is it true?" he
begged.
May turned to him with arms wide
spread, pleading for time, begging for
a chance. In a voice that was pre
ternaturally calm, but surcharged with
emotion, she said slowly oh. very
slowly indeed laying tremendous
stress on each sentence:
"liobert. dear, jou mustn't ask me
any more questions, because 1 can't
answer them. There is something 1
can't tell you. You must trust me,
Kobert. We've loved each other all
these years; believed in each other.
You're everything that life means to
me you and Doris. We're going away
together now to begin a new life. Per
haps some day when we are In our
new home I'll tell you, but not now.
You've always believed in me. Be
lieve In me now."
Strickland strove desperately to calm
himself, but the effort failed. He ex
claimed: "I do; I do! Dut there's one thing
you must tell me. What have you
been to Trask?"
The woman on the sofa shuddered
and buried her face in her hands. She
tried to speak, but the words would
not come. She tried to raise her eyes
to meet those of her husband, but a
power outside of her held back her
head. She could not look into the face
of the man who was bending over her.
begging, pleading for a full explana
tion from her. Her soul revolted
against the confession which he seem
ed determined to wring from her.
For a full minute they were speech
less. Then he turned from her, rush
ed to the table, drew from the bag the
revolver which Doris had dropped
therein, at Lis bidding, but u short time
before, and ran from the room. In a
moment the banging of a door told
that he had left the home that had
been so happy.
May Strickland half sat. half lay on
the sofa, with her head resting on her
arms and her body shaken by sobs.
The nerve wrecking scene had exhaust
ed her mentally and physically, and
for a few minutes she could not rise.
Her sobbing was not loud, but was dis
tinct, and it shook her body from head
to foot. At last the dreaded signifi
cance of her husband's actions reveal
ed itself to her, and she rose with a
scream:
"He's gone! He's gone! If he finds
him he'll kill him! His whole life wi".!
be ruined !"
The words spoke eloquently of her
devotion to her husband. No thought
now of her own rained life only that
of her husband lying in ashes!
She rushed to the telephone and seized
the receiver, at the same time calling
excitedly into the transmitter:
"Hello, hello! Give me 1SH IUver"
Again a telephone call rang in the
home of Gerald Trask that night
Before "central" could reply to May
Strickland's frantic request for "l-SU
IUver" her daughter Doris rushed into
the room from the adjoining bedroom.
The child cried:
"Oh. mamma, I'm afraid. I'm afraid !"
The mother took her in her arms.
"Oh, my darling! My baby! My little
girl! Hello, hello!"
Doris Strickland had told the story
of the tragic last night in her home.
All the courtroom Judge, jurymen, at
torneys, attendants, spectators had lis
tened spellbound to the child. She was
a bright youngster and had requited
but little leading by David Arbuckle.
Several times District Attorney Gray,
jealous of the interests of his client,
the sovereign people, had objected to
questions put to the child by Arbuckle
on the ground that they were leading
questions and therefore calculated to
bring out the answers which the at
torney wanted. But Judge Dinsmore
had ruled that the age of the child was
such that latitude must be allowed to
the attorney for the defense.
Kven the Judge himself, learned,
grave, stern and impartial, had been
favorably impressed by the child's
manner on the stand and had smiled
at her, thereby encouraging her to go
on with her story even when she was
tired.
Now, however, the limit of the child's
strength seemed to have been reached,
and she sobbed in childish yearning for
a mother's comforting presence. Alas,
that mother had not been found in
spite of diligent search by prosecution
and defense! Was she alive or dead?
No one knew. Had she sought relief
in voluntary death, and had her body
gone the way taken by so many life
weary women in Nerv Y'ork the way
of the cold green tides leading down
the river, through the bay and into the
limitless ocean?
It was for her mamma that little
Doris cried:
"Mamma! Mamma! I'm afraid! I'm
afraid!"
Arbuckle soothed the little one.
"Don't cry. Doris. I won't be much
longer. Whom did your mother call up?"
"Mr. Trask. P.ut he wasn't there."
"How do you know he wasn't there?"
"Because mamma said. 'I will call
again. "
"Then what did she do?"
"She cried and walked up and down
the room and said lots of terrible
.-Lings."
"Wtint di1 sh B.lvV"
"Why didn't 1 tell him? Why
didn't I tell him?' "
"What then?" asked the lawyer.
"Then I rried, loo. because I was
afraid. I sauted to talk to her. but
she wouldn't. 1 was awfully afraid." ,
Here the child's voice broke. "I'm
afraid How, "she" said "plaintively, anil
she began to sob.
Arbuckle was gentleness itself as he
said:
"Don't cry, Doris. It will only be a
few minutes longer; then we'll be
through with you."
But Doris still wept, and Arbuckle
went on:
"Try not to cry. Just a little while
longer. That's a good girl. Are you
listening to me?"
The child choked back a sob and an
swered, "Y'es, sir."
"Did your mother call up again?"
"Y'es, sir, and she said, 'Is that you,
Gerald Trask?' Oh, I don't want to
talk any more. My head hurts, and
I'm afraid."

SOStiE DOUBT
EXPRESSED BY
GREEK RULER
Does Not Believe That the Central
Powers Can Stand Up Under
Financial Pressure.
Athens, Dec. 2G. (Via Paris, Dec.
28.) (Delayed.) In the course of an
interview today with General Castel
nau, chief of the French general staff,
King Constantine expressed doubt
that the central empires would be able
to resist indefinitely the economic and
especially the financial pressure of the
war. General Castelnau so reported
the king's opinion tonight in a state
ment to the Associated Press. The
Greek sovereign asked the French
commander why, by the slowness of
their operations, they ha4 permitted
the crushing of Belgium and Serbia
and the failure of the Dardanelles
campaign. General Castelnau's reply
was that nobody denied these unfor
tunate results were extremely regret
table.
"It would be most highly desirable,
the general declared, "if Belgium an:l
Serbia were still intact and if Russia
could today be revictualed by way of
the Dardanelles, but we must see the
war as a whole. It would be folly,
capable of jeopardizing final victory,
of which alone we have the right to
think, to undertake any military ac
tion without the most complete prep
aration, and every assurance of sue
cess humanly possible.
"If material and force are not avail
able, however painful the result of in
action may be, it is truly criminal to
go off half cocked. Remember the
Crimea, where the Russian so long
held the Malakoff tower, with flint
locks and round cannon balls. Well,
all the German line today is a row of
Malakoff towers with other rows be
hind.
"But just as the Russians finally
were forced to give up, so mu6t the
Germans. I have given three sons; I
have two more, but their lives, too,
will be paid, if need be, that victory
may be complete."

THE PEACE
SPEAKERS LOUD
LY CHEERED
World Unity Remarks Are Applauded
and Ford Party Given En
thusiastic Greeting.
GGPENHAGEN THE NEXT STOP
Stockholm, Dec. 28. (Via London.)
The public meeting held last night
under the auspices of the Ford peace
expedition is characterized here as the
most enthusiastic demonstration for
peace that Europe has seen since the
.var began. Nearly 1,000 citizens of
Stockholm attended. Every mention of
an early end to the war provoked
prolonged applause.
When Louis Loch tier, secretary cf
the expediti n, :i unced that the
execuir t co;nmitte2 h?d secret in
formation that ci tail ones of the
belligerent nations wcie willing to
negotiate for peace the meeting be
came tumultuous.
"It would astonish the world," said
Mr. Lochner, "if we made known at
this time what influences are a', work
for peace. This information has been
in the possession of the executives of
the expedition ever since we sailed
from New York. It was the real en
couragement behind the expedition
We have every assurance that our
project will meet with favor, although
at this time it cannot be said just
what is behind the movement."
Support Lacking- in U. S.
The Rev. Charles A. Aked of San
Francisco declared in his speech' that
he regretted to say that America was
not giving the peace idea such sup
port as might be desired. He found
fault with President Wilson for what
he characterized the president's fail
ure to take the initiative in leading
neutrals in a peace movement.
The success cf the meeting which
was the first of a public character
since the arrival of the party in
Sweden, is attributed to the fact that
most Swedes can understand English
For the benefit of vhose unable to
understand English the speeches were
translated by interpreters on the plat
form. Each time a speaker referred to
the unity of neutrals in the desire for
peace, the Academy of Music, where
the meeting was held, rang with
cheers.
The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, chair
man of the executive committee, said
after the demonstration was over that
it gave a great impetus to the expedi
tion and argued further encourage
ment when tho party i cached Den
mark and Holland.
The committee announced that
Sweden and Norway had arranged to
send unofficial delegations and that
citizens from other neutral countries
will attend the final peace conference
The expedition leaves Wednesday
night for Copenhagen. From that
point it will proceed to The Hague,
possibly by railway through Germany,

THE BRITISH
SEIZING MAIL
FROM SHIPS
Berlin Reports Two Instances Vcs-
self From Scandinavia Is
Searched.
THE MAIL IS NOT IMMUNE
Berlin, Dec. 28. (By wireless to
Sayville.) Seizure by the British
government of American mails from
two steamships on their way to Hol
land is reported in Rotterdam dis
patch given out today by the Over
seas News agency.
According to the news agency's dis
patch the vessels fiom which mail
was taken are the Dutch steamship
Nieuw Amsterdam, from New York
December 14 for Rotterdam, and the
Norwegian steamship Christian Mich
elsen from New York December 3 for
Rotterdam.
Whether the mail seized included
any first-class matter or, as is more
probable, consisted of parcel post
shipments the foregoing does not
make clear. The British government
has taken th? stand that parcel post
matter must be regarded as freight,
exempt from the protection given
first-class matter under the interna
tional pontal convention. Washington
is understood to have concurred in
this view.
More Mail Seized.
New York, Dec. 28. The steamer
United States, which arrived today
from Scandinavian ports, reported
that on December 1IJ the was stopped
east of the Shetland isles by a Brit
ish cruiser and taken to Greenock for
examination. There the British re
moved 1,961 small parcels and 930
parcel post packages. The steamer
was released on December 18.
Because they were held five day3
at Greenock the 200 American citizens
aboard the United States drew up a
vigorous protest against the action of
the British government and will for
ward it to Secretary of State Lansing,
Mail Is Not Immune.
Washington, Dec. 28. The allies, it
is explained here, intend to seize and
examine all mail passing between the
United States and the European neu
trals which they have reason to be
lieev is intended for Germany. Hith
erto seizures have been confined to
pracel post.
In justice of this the allies will
first plead military necessity and, sec
ond, that there is no inviolability of
mail to the Teutonic powers because
Turkey, their ally, did not subscribe
to The Hague convention which
covers it.
Furthemore the ac'ion is based on
an article in The Hague convention
providing that immunity of seizure of
mail shall not apply to correspond
ence destined for or proceedings from
a blockaded port."
Dr. T. J. Todd, wife and little son,
