CHAPTER I.
A Steeping Nation.
Apathetic and unprepared the coun
ry stood on the verge of war. The
wheels of many closing factories
'iad droned a final protest, idleness
was spreading, and throughout the
land the subject of the impending con
llict was gravely discussed. Distin
guished orators in great cities pre
dicted dire losses in prestige and
honor, and every hamlet had its
prophet of woe. The nation's position
as a first-class power, even its very in
tegrity, seemed at stake.
And in all this ominous unrest, this
clamor for action, the administration
at Washington sat unmoved, smiling
what seemed to the country and the
world at large a fatuous smile of com
placency. It was then endeavoring,
as in previous crises, through the use
of high-sounding words, to avert an
actual clash at arms.
For some years there had been
mooted questions between Japan and
the great American republic, due in
the first instance to troubles of a pure
ly racial character. The Pacific coast,
which for many decades had been com
pelled by its geographical situation
to face an economic invasion from the
orient, wanted none of the small men
from across the water.
Other complications followed. Ja
pan by example and precept rejuv
enated the sleeping giant which spoke
her sister tongue and had with her
an offensive and defensive alliance
that could be invoked in time of need,
and by further adroit policy main
tained a similar compact with Great
Hritain. She waxed prosperous, de
manding trade concessions where
once she had begged them. Nor had
she neglected the perfecting of her
navy, which from the time of her war
with Russia had been one of the most
capable. Now it equaled in size and
probably excelled in fighting efficiency
that of the United States.
In the Philippines the racial war
came to such an acute stage that Ja
pan demanded Immediate adjustment,
although following the same diplo
matic methods which characterized
her cai-eer as an advanced nation
pit ully pleading to the world at large
ih:-. she was a small power whose
on wish was for peace; invoking
s: .sathy on the one hand and p re
pa . lg to strike before hostilities were
an cipated on the other.
nd in the midst of all this turmoil
of mind and passiveness of accom
plishment. Guy Hillier. secretary of
tin- British embassay in Washington,
foi nd other and more personal annoy
ances. The particular vexation was a
wi nan's perversity.
tie brooded over his love affair
m. re than the welfare of nations, as
he stood in the great railway station
of the capital on this night, watching
foi the arrival of the Florida special
w' ich was to bring to him Norma
Roueiis, after an absence of nearly a
nit nth.
'.Vith some bitterness lie recalled
th:.t it was not the first time within
siv months that he had loitered in
tl. s station. To him it seemed that
since he first had known the girl he al
ways had been waiting and longing.
SI had held him in thrall since the
ni;ht he met her more than a year
b' "ore, when half reluctantly he had
:: t epted an invitation to a reception
gieu to her father; and yet in all
th t aftertirae he had been in per
pe .ial suspense. The reception had
be:-a much like other receptions, and
waj given in honor of another inven
tion by "Old Kill Roberts," as he styled
hin.self and was known to his inti
mates. ("uy had gone through mere curi
oshy, wishing to see at short range a
man who only a few years before had
been dubbed a 'harebrained crank,"
but whose work had proved him other
wise. He remembered the lights of
the drawing room, the throng of
guests, and that Roberts had forgot
ten the event and kept some of the
most distinguished men of the nation,
including every member of the cabi
net, waiting till he could be dragged
from his laboratory at the end of the
garden.
Everyone had taken the remissness
with American good humor, laughed
and chatted till a search could be
made, and then given way to the in
ventor's entrance, which was not tri
umphal. It was effected with something
approaching a lack of proprieties.
There had been the sound of a high
strung, snarling voice in protest from
the lower end of the drawing room,
which was luxuriously furnished and
presided over by Norma. There had
been a moment's silence, then an ex
clamation loud enough to be heard by
those who were curiously expectant.
"Well, I couldn't help it," the petu
lant words came. "I got tired of wait
ing around, and went back to work.
Yon got me into this mess. You know
I don't like dress affairs, and hate
dress suits. Working clothes suit me
best. So there!"
Everyone had looked at one another
understanding!' and smiled when the
eminent scientist and inventor had
been led into the room. Guy. craning
his neck in a sudden desire to see this
entry, had a confused picture of a
man with a shock of white hair and
long eyebrows, from beneath which
glared eyes of great restlessness, and
also remembered that the dress suit
which had caused so much worry was
stained with freshly spilled chemicals,
and that even as he came the inventor

'Is There Going
was furtively wiping a pair of grimy
hands on his handkerchief. But it was
not the man nor the suppressed tit
ters of laughter that he recollected
best; it was the girl who escorted
him.
She came leading her father by the
arm, the daintiness of her costume
enhanced by the marks of the work
shop on his coat. She walked smiling
ly forward, completely self-possessed,
with head thrown back, and making
no apologies. Had it not been for the
conversation at the door, overheard
within the room, none would have
supposed that she wished a more cere
monious appearance. She challenged
with her eyes as she passed her
guests, and to Hillier's surprise, bound
in conventionality as he always had
been, it suddenly seemed that in all
of it there was nothing inappropriate
nor incongruous.
Then came that later hour when he
was introduced to the savant, and the
latter had looked him squarely in the
eyes and given him a handshake that
was surprisingly strong. And the
girl! At the first word spoken by her
his heart gave a great leap, insistently
demanding that he should know her
better. It had been easy to yield to
its call, and he made occasion to bo
as near her side throughout the even
ing as was possible. He was to learn
later that she always was with her fa
ther, nearly always inaccessible, and
sometimes wrapped in such thought
that he could scarcely probe her mind.
The evening of their meeting had
ended as do all evenings; but thence
forth he had sought her. Their ac
quaintance grew to a more friendly
basis, and went steadily forward until
on his part at least it culminated in
love. Sometimes he had the courage
to believe it returned. At other times
he grew despondent in his assault on
the portals of her heart, but now that
war and separation threatened, he
was resolved to bring his siege to the
issue and gain an answer.
A long-drawn whistle of increasing
volume vibrated through the dusk;
one headlight stared more steadily
than the others which gleamed across
the network of steel rails beyond and
came swiftly, picking a trail to the
great arched shed. With a final clang
ing of its bell, the big locomotive
perspired past him. the whistling
brakes gave a harsh grind and the
train came to a liait
Guy hurried back with quick, im
patient steps to the Pullman, where
negroes dropped carpeted steps, in
time to see the one for whom he
waited emerge, calm and immaculate
as usual, but with such a gladness of
welcome in her eyes that he could
barely resist taking her into his arms.
Time might drag, but it always found
her unchanged. In sudden awkward
ness he took her lighter luggage and
wrap and walked with her to the exit
of the noisy station, finding all his
carefully formulated sentences for
gotten, and listening to her rather
than saying an-thing himself.
Almost the first question she asked
him was of the war; and at this he felt
a tinge cf disappointment. It was too
impersonal a topic for a man who had
waited a month for an opportunity to
speak of affection. He would rath"
she gave first thought to what !- " aa
been doing, what he was rr , .o do
and what he wil-ed to I. .en when
they reached r i. ;re quiet plnco away
from the din of railway tragic and
aside from the r ! cf outgoing pas
sengers, i--e turn .. zcward him with a
grave face and asked for "the real
latest news.'' - -

to Be Any War?"
"Do tell me," she said, "not what
people say, or what the officials send
out, but the real inside situation. Is
there going to be any war?"
"I am afraid so," he answered,
gloomily. "The government is still in
sisting that there is not much danger
of a clash, and backs up its manifes
toes by making no preparation what
ever. There has been no attempt to
mobilize a fleet in the Pacific, nor to
assemble other vessels from foreign
ports; but our own advices are that
war is inevitable and may come at any
moment."
She did not respond, but seemed
almost to have forgotten him in her
reverie and contemplation of his
words. Nor did she express surprise
and interest when he gave her a seat
in the brougham which waited for
them beside the station gates. Not
till she heard him order the driver to
take them to a fashionable cafe did
she return from the land of abstrac
tion and become vivacious again.
"Where are you taking me?" she
asked. "Did I understand it that we
are going to an old friend? I'm half
starved, and am going to drop all this
war subject for a while."
When he told her their destination
she clapped her hands and showed her
approval by saying: "That's good.
Do you remember the little balcony
overhanging the street where green
things grow and we used to sit last
summer when we wanted to be alone
and talk? May we have the balcony
table?" His smiling assurance that
he remembered and that it was to
that very spot he was conducting her
brought forth her applause at his se
lection. She leaned out, to look ahead
as they approached it, looked con
tented when they alighted before it,
and eagerly stepped within when the
attendant swung open the doors.
They walked across the carpeted
floors and between tables where oth
ers were dining, and everywhere as
they went she was recalled to the
sterner things of life by a conversa
tion which had no other topic than
war. Here and there she recognized
men occupying more or less respon
sible positions in the government, and
a few whose uniforms proclaimed
them to be officers of the army and

navy. These latter seemed discussing
the situation from a more confidential
viewpoint, and hold their heads close
together now and then as if fearful
that others might overhear their
whispered comments.
"All criticising the government,"
Guy muttered, indicating one group
with a slight nod of his head. "They
can't understand it any more than we
can."
She looked at him sharply as if
about to speak, and then after an in
stant's hesitation closed her half
parted lips and advanced to the seat
she desired. A white-clad waiter
served them and deferentially brought
a newspaper still wet from the press
"Thought you'd like to see the latest
extra, sir," he explained, as he left
them: and Hillier, with a look of
weariness, glanced at the headlines
and laid it aside.
"Same old thing," he commented,
in reply to her look of inquiry. "The
Gazette has just learned that not even
coaling orders have been issued, and
this from no less a person than the
secretary of the navy, who has been
goaded into free speech by the con
stant pricks of criticism. I wonder if
these people are insane?"
"Ouy," she retorted, "I don't think
it altogether fair to speak of the men
at the head of the government as in
sane until they have been proved in
error. Let's talk of something else."
And he, worried and tired of the
topic, was glad to lead into more per
sonal subjects. He thought of the
old inventor whom he had not seen
for months.
"How is your father now?" he
asked. "Is he improving in health,
and where is he?"
For the first time she showed some
embarrassment. He watched her, and
as she hesitated before answering be
gan to wonder if there was not some
thing concerning Roberts which she
was endeavoring to conceal from him.
"Oh. he is well, but very overworked
and tired," she replied finally.
"But you haven't answered all my
question," he insisted. "You haven't
told me where he is."
She remained silent, toying with
one cf the rings upon her hand and
looking out through the vines to
where the lights of the city gleamed
below and stretched out into the
blackness beyond.
"Norm," he said, leaning toward
her, "is there anything wrong with
him? All your letters come from
Miami. There's a sanatorium there.
It can't be that your father is "
"No no no; it isn't that!" she re
plied, but with a look of such appre
hension that he almost doubted her
for the first time in all their friend
ship. "Father is all right, only he has
worked very hard, and Oh, please
don't insist on my telling you any
more! Believe me, I should be frank
with you, of all persons in the world,
if I could; but I can't he quite."
Impulsively he stretched his hands
across the table and seized hers. The
hum of conversation had died out in
the rconi back of them, most of the
diners having departed. It had grown
so quiet that they could hear the
strains of a band from one of the
parks, playing as gayly as if war was
an unknown contingency.
"Norm," he said pleadingly, "take
me into your full confidence! Tell
me what it is that troubles you!
Something does, I'm sure. I have read
it in your letters, and in your eyes
when you come to me. Let me share
it with you! You know I love you,
anil a part of .love is to share each
other's troubles."
He tried to hold her hands; but she
withdrew them tremblingly. She
turned her face away toward the
lights of the night, without looking
at him. For what seemed a long timo
he waited. "Ob, I wish you had not
said that to me just yet," she an
swered at length. "You make it very
hard for both of us now. I want to be
honest with you, want to give you my
confidence and my but I can't. I
can't tell you anything. You must
wait." .

an interesting talk on the obelisk.
After speaking for half an hour she
found that her efforts were wasted.
Peeling utterly provoked, she cried:
"Every word that I have said you have
let in at one ear and out of the other.
You" pointing to a girl whom she no

throughout the entire lesson "tell me,

A Multiplicity of Fathers.
Ardyce had been learning to sing
"America" at school and was trying
to teach it to brother Wayne. One
morning his father heard him shout
ing: "Land where my papa died, land
where my papa died."
Ardyce interrupted: "Oh, no.
Wayne, not that way. It is 'Land
where our fathers died."'
Wayne's expression could not be
described as he tipped his head side
wise, and in a very surprised tone
gravely asked: "Two of 'em?" De

beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying

reappearance astronomers are now
looking, was in the heavens. Then the
Christian world prayed to be deliv
