CHAPTER I Continued.
"Listen," he commanded, again
leaning toward her. "There is some
thing which makes me think you love
me. I shall ask nothing more of your
father, or of your plans, because I
want to make you see the position."
He frowned at the waiter, who came
toward them and then retreated.
"Norm," he went on, "there is to be
war. Your country is unprepared. It
will be overrun by an enemy that is
ruthless and that will come to con
quer. The end may not be defeat;
but as certain as death this country
will writhe and suffer before it can
regain the ground it will lose in the
outset. Can't you see that? Can't
you understand what it will be for
you and your father here under such
conditions? Don't j-ou know that for
your very safety you must leave? As
my wife, or even my betrothed, I can
make the way so much easier for
you! Give me the right, dear, give me
the right!"
"It is impossible," she replied, turn
ing toward him again; and he looked
hurt. "It is the very danger of war
that makes it so. You don't know
how much I wish I could say yes to
you; but it's impossible. I must be
with my father. I owe it to him. He
can't go away, nor can I leave him.
So until the way is clear we can be
friends only, and no more."
He sat stunned for a moment, vain
ly striving to understand a circum
stance or combination of conditions
which could have dictated such an
answer. Then the thought came that
perhaps the girl before him was ma
king a sacrifice to some awful men
ace, and It could be only one thing
the threatened insanity of her father.
But what had the war to do with that?
Perhaps she would never be more to
him if her father went insane, because
then she would say no because of her
very love for him, and the fear for pos
terity. Their happiness, then, was to
depend upon the condition of an old
man's mind.
"Norm," he asked, softly, "is it in
sanity?" She turned toward him in amaze
ment, not fathoming his line of reason
ing. "I can tell you nothing more."
She spoke as one under stress and
suppression. "You must ask nothing
more. You must take my love on
faith or not at all until you know it is
time for you to tell me again that I
am necessary to you."
He felt that it was a crisis with
them, and slowly thought of what he
might say to break away this barrier
or induce her to remove the embargo.
They sat looking into the distance;
but before he could formulate an ar
gument the sound of a horse's hoofs
madly clattering over the pavements
caught their attention. It came near
er and nearer, and then past them on
the street below a man in soldier's un
iform flashed by. They looked at each
other wonderingly, half starting to
their feet, and as they looked a sudden
pandemonium broke forth.
From an alleyway nearby burst an
army of newsboys, the streets sudden
ly became alive with pedestrians
belched forth from cafes and hotels,
and above all other sounds came the
cries of "Extry! Extry! Wftr broken
out! War! War! War!"
She turned away from v as if in
those cries were an irrcns&ible sen
tence of misery, parted the vines and
stood silently looking out into the
night; and he knew without seeing
that in her eyes were tears.
CHAPTER II.
The Sword of the Samurai.
The nation was in a turmoil.
Throughout the night and the follow
ing day the newspapers of the country
sent forth a more or less trustworthy
recountal of the opening of hostili
ties. It had been known for weeks
that the transports of Japan guarded
by her entire navy had assembled off
Nagasaki. It had even been reported
that they kad sailed away for southern
waters; but this had met with later
denial. The blow had fallen as swiftly
as would that of a rattlesnake which
for weeks had been coiled and sinu
ously moving its head in preparation
for attack.
Strangely enough the first reports
of war came from foreign sources; but
they were undoubtedly official, having
been imparted by Japan to her ally.
Great Britain- The bulletins issued
by the London papers bore the un
doubted ring of semi-official utter
ances. That of the Daily Mail, cabled
in full to the American press, read:
"Japan, reluctantly abandoning hope
of peace by ordinary methods, has
been driven to the extreme recourse
and has officially declared war against
the United States of America."
Within half an hour after the is
suance of this bulletin a second an
nouncement was made, which took no
cognizance of the fact that the official
declaration must have been preceded
by decisive action:
"The Japanese war office has been
advised that on the 27th instant at
noon the Philippine islands were com
pelled to surrender to the Japanese
fleet, which appeared off Manila. Not
! 4
v .'
.--:
The Ambassador
only did the city itself capitulate, but
possession of the entire islands has
been given over. The Japanese gov
ernment announces with due modesty
that it has gained a complete and un
qualified victory without the loss of a
man.
"Later. It is announced by the
Japanese government that the parole
of all officers and men of the United
States army in the Philippines has
been accepted, and the men of the
vanquished army have been allowed
to sail for San Francisco on board
foreign ships, which were lying in the
harbor at the time of surrender."
From every quarter of the land came
insistent demands for official news
from the government, coupled with re
quests for detailed accounts of the de
feat The administration replied with
the brief statement that no verified
report of the action in the Philippines
could be given out at that time. It
did state, however, that the official
declaration of war had been duly re
ceived, that the Japanese ambassador
had been withdrawn, the legation
closed and that the officials would
leave New York for their own country
that evening, sailing by way of Liver
pool. Public clamor gave way to popular
indignation. The country was aflame
with war spirit. Guardsmen gath
ered in their armories, awaiting of
ficial bulletins and the expected call
to arms: and yet no orders came.
The governors of several states tele
graphed to the war department for
advice; but their only satisfaction was
in the following message sent broad
cast by the secretary of state:
"The government, recognizing the
patriotism and readiness of the Na
tional Guard of the United States,
does not at this immediate moment
desire its services. It is well to bear
in mind, however, that a sudden call
may be issued at a later date and to
be prepared for emergencies. It
wishes to announce further that In its
judgment there will be no necessity
for fighting on land, and that the situ
ation is completely under control. So
far there have been no casualties re
ported from the Philippines."
Whatever may have been the state
of the public mind before the issuance
of this declaration, the country now
gasped with amazement. Some of the
more violent and outspoken journals
demanded of the men at Washington
a statement of what they purposed to
do in this emergency, and the most
radical intimated in no uncertain
terms that incompetent administra
tions were subject to impeachment
But to all of this outburst the govern
ment officials most directly interested
presented only the same calm, placid
and indifferent front. There was noth
ing to be detected in their demeanor
to indicate that any action whatever
had been taken.
The various members of the diplo
matic corps, even to the highest of the
foreign ambassadors, gathered no new
Information. They were invariably
told, first, that the United States
knew there had been a declaration of
war; second, that the United States
knew that the Philippines had been
surrendered; third, that no orders had
been issued up to that hour for the
sailing of any fleet but that it was ex
pected orders would be givea before
the day was over. The men of the
foreign representation one and all felt
a gentle rebuff tantamount to being
told that the United States was at
tending strictly to its own business
and desired neither to be advised nor
to be compelled to answer questions.
None felt this more keenly than the
members of the British legation, and

Rose from His Seat.
Guy Hilller in particular. His meet
ing of the night before with Miss
Roberts had not terminated satisfac
torily, but had come to an abrupt
close when he bade her good night at
the door of her home, and with all
his questions unanswered. Since that
moment there had been little time for
him either to brood over the situation
or to conjecture over her strange at
titude.
' Throughout the early morning he
hurried this way and that, receiving
visitors and answering requests for In
formation from Great Britain. His
superior, heated and exasperated,
broke in upon him almost as he was
starting to call up Miss Roberts' resi
dence. "Guy," the ambassador said, "we ars
in a country of lunatics. There is
something in this government's atti
tude that is Inexplicable. It can't be
that they are all cowards, and yet I
have something to show you."
The ambassador drew a handker
chief from his sleeve and wiped the
perspiration from his forehead, after
which he reached a large pudgy finger
over to the secretary's desk, pressing
there on a pearl-topped electric button.
"Walters." he said to the usher
who came into the room in answer to
the summons, "neither Mr. Hillier nor
myself is here, and we won't be back
for an hour; that is what you are to
say without exception." Then as the
attendant bowed himself out he beck
oned the secretary to follow him into
the seclusion of his private office.
"Hillier," he began, throwing a
paper on the desk before the secre
tary, who had seated himself on the
opposite side, "read that."
The secretary saw before him a
code telegram neatly interpreted be
tween the lines. It was evidently an
official order addressed to a fleet com
mander at Callao, Peru.
"What do you make of that," he
asked in a tone of great disgust, and
then, as Hillier started to question
him, put up his hand for silence. "No.
it doesn't matter where I got it, or
how I had it decoded; it is genuine, all
right."
The secretary stared at him with a
iook oi blank interrogation on his
face, while the ambassador rose from
the seat into which he had thrown
himself only a moment before, leaned
over his desk, resting himself on the
knuckles of his clenched hands, and
said:
"That is an order from the secretary
of the navy positively commanding all
the vessels owned by the United
States in Pacific waters to return
without delay to Baltimore. It's a
shame, that's what it is! The other
nations of the world should intervene
and prevent this country from com
mitting suicide. Conditions are so ex
traordinary that I don't dare intrust
anyone but you to make a report of
the situation, and you have got to do
that in person."
He walked up and aown the room
excitedly for a few moments, freely
expressing his perplexity over the
turn of events, and ended by abruptly
ringing for a timetable and a sailing
list which he consulted before again
addressing himself to his secretary.
"Get out of here as quickly as you
can!" he ordered. "Go to your rooms,
throw what stuff you need into a bag,
and take the first train you can get
for New York! I shall meet you at
the station here and give you such re
ports of conditions as I can write in
the meantime. When you get to New
York, go as quickly as you can to the
Cunard dock, from which the Lucania
is due to sail early in the morning. I
shall hold her up until you arrive. De-

liver my letters in person to the for
eign secretary's office in London, and
answer such questions as you can re
garding this remarkable situation and
this incomprehensible government
These matters are too important to
admit of delay and ordinary official re
ports. Go quickly!" he concluded, al
most shoving Hilller through the door.
"I'll attend to everything here. Don't
let there be any delay on your part!"
The secretary hurried away to
make preparations for his departure,
leaving the perturbed ambassador tc
prepare his reports. He called a cab
and drove to his apartment, intent on
first telephoning to Miss Roberts. His
man met him at the door and handed
him a letter addressed in a familiar
hand, which he hastily tore open and
read as he stood in the open doorway:
"Dear Guy: I have been called
away very suddenly, and am going to
my father. He needs me now more
than ever. I cannot alter anything
which I told you last night, nor can I
add anything, save to say that some
time, somehow, God willing, we shall
be together again, under circum
stances where I can tell you all the
truth. It will do no good to write to
the old address; for I shall not be
there. There will be no means of our
communicating, I fear, for an in
definite time. It is always within the
realms of possibility, when war is on
a land, that friends may never meet
again. If such should be our case, I
pray that you will remember this
even up to the last I loved you.
Good-by. NORMA."
Stunned by this unexpected missive,
he hurried to the telephone, and in a
fever of haste and anxiety called up
her home, only to be told that she had
departed In the earlier hours of the
morning after receiving a message
presumably from her father. He
could learn nothing further of her. He
was stopped as if by an insurmount
able wall. He cursed the fate which
separated them and the order which
sent him away without giving time to
see her, and almost in open rebellion
thought for a moment of refusing to
act as king's courier, resolving rather
to resign from his position and aban
don his post; but he was bound by
the training of years and the demands
of duty, and at the last moment
boarded the train which was to take
him from the country and the woman
he loved.
And even as he went the object of
his solicitude was speeding away into
the south on a special train.
The train consisted of only two
Pullmans and a dining car. Before it
in its southern flight the way seemed
always open, and hour after hour it
rushed onward, drawn by the most
powerful locomotives that could be ob
tained. Norma was the only woman
passenger aboard; all the others were
grim-faced, sun-tanned men of the
sea, who had been summoned to Wash
ington from various navy yards and
ships within the month. Of all on
board she was the only civilian, and
yet the one whom the government
seemed most anxious to transport
The officers themselves gathered into
little groups, discussing the war
which had opened so abruptly, and
speculating as to why in such an im
portant crisis they had been ordered
from their posts of duty to report for
further advices and sealed instruc
tions at so unimportant and isolated
a seaport as the small one on the
coast of Florida to which they were
heading.
Another singular feature of this
journey was that all aboard, from the
distinguished admiral to the junior
lieutenant commander, were, by or
der, in the plainest of civilian dress.
That it had been the intention of the
war department to maintain tneir
identity secret was proved by the com
ments of a railway official who stood
near one of the coaches while waiting
for a change of locomotives.
"You understand, don't you," he
said to a man apparently a train dis
patcher, standing beside him, "that
this train has the right of way over
everything? Sidetrack the flyer if
necessary to get this through. There
can't be anything in front of her, and
the only limit to her time is the speed
of the engine that pulls her. I under
stand it's a party of secret service
people the government is sending to
Cuba. That's all I know about it, and
it's in line with everything else you
naturally can expect from such a lot
of insane men as they seem to have
in Washington."
They whirled away from the sta
tion, looking at each other blankly,
and wondering what the outcome of
all this mystery could be. Every
action so far was without precedent
There was a disposition on the part
of some of them to bemoan the fate
which had detached them from their
ships at a time when the country was
to be defended and glory won; but
this was brought to a sudden end byi
grim old "Fighting Bob" Bevlns, tha
admiral, who reprimanded, them for
daring to criticise their superiors or
their orders.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
Just So.
"Second thoughts," remarked the
moralizer. "are always best"
"That's right," rejoined the demor
alizer. "By the time you think them
the chap who might have mopped up
the sidewalk with you is several
blocks away."

lives, and here it was that the future
signer of the Declaration of Inde
pendence acquired the habits of thrift
which, perhaps, as much as anything
else, helped to frame his future great
ness. Indeed the whole district is interest
ing to Americans, for not far from
Ecton is the home of the family of
George Washington, known as Sul
grave Manor. Ecton and Sulgrave
Manor are visited nowadays by hosts
of the descendants of the man who is
said to have said that he could not
tell a lie. Aside from the American
Interest of Ecton, the village itself
has been immortalized by Hogarth,
the great painter. It was he who paint
ed the sign of the "World's End" inn
in that place. Nobody knows to-day
exactly what Hogarth's idea of the
end of the world could have been, as
a souvenir hunter many years ago
added this interesting sign to his col
lection and ever since-that time, the
"World's End" inn has been without a
sign.
Canon Arthur W. Jepson, who was a
member of the famous Mosely com
mission which toured 7,000 miles of
America to study educational prob
lems a few years ago, recently has
been presented by King Edward with
the living of the beautiful church at
Ecton. He is a great believer in the
American system and his report on
the commission strongly advocated
the adoption of American methods.
Canon Jephson, who has many friends
all over the United States, hopes to re
build his church with American
money. He points out that this church
is referred to in Franklin's autobiog
raphy and the name Franklin appears
frequently on the register.
