Continued. S The German emperor, true to his promise, was the. first to give official ratification to the message, and added thereto his earnest entreaty that all powers might speedily join. He of fered an eloquent argument in its be- half, fortified by his own observations, and reviewed the reasons why Ger many had previously declined disarm ament in conferences at The Hague. His attitude was that of impartiality, and no mention was made of the mooted questions between Great Brit ain and his own country, which were later adjusted satisfactorily through the commission, and passed into his tory as the first dispute which that body was called upon to arbitrate. There followed a brief lapse of days, in which the other nations of the earth studied this communication in . - temper according to their desires. It came as an amazing document in an epoch which was uprooting existing conditions and establishing new ones. The underlying threat of interference in any international war, however, made it patent that the wisest course would be in graceful acceptance. Hence it was that all the principal governments bound themselves in the compact The last page had been written in the voluminous history of strife. The hissing of the barb, the retching of the catapult, the clangor of sword and buckler, and the booming of cannon, which in the course of time . had succeeded each other, were sounds . to be heard no more on land or sea. Peace had at last assumed its tranquil dominion. When the last acceptance from the most laggardiy nation was received, the news was made known to the silent man in the White House. It was en another night in summer when the jnoon cast its shadows over the " city and the shining breast of the mer. Still alone, bnt now beloved and understood by all his countrymen, he. knelt by an open window, and, with a face glorified by the radiance of the night and his thoughts, thanked the 'God who had made him steadfast to accomplish his desire. The president, ,too, had reached his goal of dreams. CHAPTER XXIV. The Last Cruise. Summer, dying, was bravely courte sylng to its executioner, fall. Over the immense canyons of the moun tainous city of New York the after noon sun was drawing the curtains of r gala day. Triumphal arches spanned the throbbing streets, and down the frcr.ts of the towerine htiildine streamed a wealth of smothering color where the flags of all cations were in termingled. Xot within its existence had this city by the sea, this maw cf the nation, entertained such gallant tirGngs. Smart British officers drove here and there in company with friends. Gsyiy-clad mandarins stared through narrow eyes at the somber men of Japan; fez crowned Turks smiled at gorgeously uniformed men from the Balkans: German officers, splendidly erect, traversed the streets in com pany with soldiers of that other regies race, tne Russians; colonials' from Australia hobnobbed with men cf New Zealand: and the folk of Italy . bowed gravely to the cavaliers of old Spain, who had been watching a group -from that other republic. Prance. Rep resentatives of the world had assem bled, under the pretext of witnessing an international marriage, to pay def erence to the one invincible power. It was in "reality more than that: it was the universal ratification of peace, of mutual disbandment and disarma ment. As the day lengthened the city Toured its throng to the shores of the bay, where were assembled varied squadrons. The time for the depar ture of these was at hand, and scurry ing launches conveyed aboard the men whom they had brought to this alien wedding. These eminent pas sengers were among the comparative few who had witnessed the ceremony and had gained more than a casual glance at the bride and groom. Those other thousands had been contented ?c ln m3- b? JlUU! lTJS A J V .-dUitttol Thousands Had Been with a stare at Hillier and his wife as they rode in state through the broader thoroughfares in the morning sunlight, and for details had read the newspa pers which, glorying in a plethora of news, had told them all. Nothing had been neglected, not even the fact that this clean-cut Eng lishman had given the best that was in him for his country, and that the calm-eyed American girl was the one who had played her part in war and was the idol of her countrymen. Al ready they had published pictures of the king and president, who as guests had stood side by side, and portraits of the most distinguished men of the globe who had deferentially taken places behind them. Only one thing was hidden from the eager public, and that was the manner in which they had been reunited. Guy, saddened and worn by failure, had been one of the first to enter the United States when the barrier against the world was thrown down, and Norma, still yearning for his love, had gone to his arms as if nothing had ever held them apart She was a world figure now, and the world was at her feet Behind him was nothing save the knowledge of earnest en deavor and honest defeat; but to her he had been the same, nor did she an ticipate that a king would later take his hand and say, "Well done, even though you failed." They had passed the brief days prior to the ceremony in dread, court ing neither the displa- nor the lime light into which they were driven by the parts they had played. The pub licity had been against their wishes, and the gifts of the world in which each country vied afforded no pleasure equal to that of being alone and at rest with each other. They had seized the first opportunity after the mar riage to escape, leaving their -destination unknown. They had retreated to the seclusion cf Atlantic Highlands, where the great beacon stands facing the broad stretch of open sea, and where they might be removed from the pomp and pageantry of nations. And even as that great embarkation took place along the water front of the city which loomed far behind them, they stood on a cliff by the ocean side. They had avoided the last act in the drama of deference, a reception given to the president and the inventor, and were content to be left alone. Suddenly from the far away bay came the slow, sullen undertone of guns in salute. Again came the thun derous monotone, and then, emerging from the distant haze into the clearer air, appeared a flight of aerial things in orderly formation. The girl's hands clasped themselves together as she watched. There they were, 20 miles away, the ships her ships which she had led out to victory and directed through the maze and turmoil of battle. She stood silent and spellbound as they slowly advanced, and then discerned on the waters beneath them the slow moving shapes of ships of the sea. The radioplanes were traversing the air as an escort above those others in final parade. In twin procession the fleets came nearer, embodiments of might The guns of Governor's island belched as they advanced; then from opposite sides of the channel the voices of Forts Lafayette and Hamil ton gave greeting and farewell. On ward they swept to where the colossal statue of Liberty held her beacon aloft in token of a new enlightenment of the world, and the cannon of the sea fleet spoke for the first time in ra m TfaMl WHM ivmM f Contented with a Stare. unison, saluting as they passed in one terrible explosion of sound which re verberated along the 'shores and was thrown back by the echoes. Here they came, the dying gladiators of all nations, sailing out to doom! Well in front were the vanquished squadrons of Japan, their funnels re paired for the last cruise they would ever make, but stripped of fighting masts. Back of them came the mighty ships of England, with prows turned outward "for their final voy age. German cruisers, graceful and well manned, followed; while in their wakes could be. seen others flying the banners of Italy, of France, of Rus sia, and nearly every maritime nation of the globe. Flanking this assem blage were the vessels of the Ameri can navy, which but a short time be fore had been regarded as the coun try's bulwarks, and were now par ticipating in the last review. The science of ages, the experience of all who had gone down to the sea, the refinement of skill and study, and the genius of evolution were embodied in those metal sides. They repre sented the wealth of nations collected through sweat and blood, all poured out unstintedly for this consignment to the scrap heaps of a world that had abandoned war. The glories of past deeds of valor would no longer be emulated -upon the waves. The sea had been untenanted before man's ingenuity found a means of breasting it His coming had left it unscarred and unimproved. It alone was uncon querable, changeless and heedless. Through centuries it had scorned him, and now it was bidding his craft farewell and carrying his fleets for the last lime. No more would its wastes echo to his passing salute or witness his trivial strainings for a -l' rn.rn.rn. m. . m. . m. m - - -,-,,- --Trunj-orV-UTJruxrirL HOW HE PULLED THROUGH One Young Man Who Found Lack of Capital No Bar to Success. Three years ago a young man wrote me a thoroughly disconsolate letter. Things were not going right He was disgusted with his occupation. Should hegive it up and go to the Philippines cr seek employment on the isthmus. Stamps were inclosed.- It seemed I had to reply or be charged with steal ing four cents. Last Friday this young man called. He wore a prosperous air. In fact, he looked too dignified for his clothes. Said he: "I have come to thank you for your advice. I took it literally, and here I am to-day in fine health and on the road to for tune." Advice is so cheap that all of us can part with it and never feel the loss of iy If it pleases the seeker, he makes tl.o most of it. If it does not please him he forgets it My advice to the disconsolate young man was: "Cut out the i. I'jmus and the Philippines. You cannot afford to go so far away from your wife and children. You have been selling goods for your employer for nine years and your salary has never been raised. Give up your job at once and strike out for yourself. You can begin on the street. You do not need an office. Ally y jrself wKh -fi flag. Only the song of the fisherman might henceforth echo along tht shores whereon it beat. It had out lasted those sturdy hulls of oak and steel that once had dared its force. High above swept the invaders of that new territory to which man had at last laid claim and was 'to hold in domination for his use. Blue as the skies above them, the radioplanes hovered over and bade farewell to the vanishing fleets. In the vanguard flew the Norma, her colors fluttering in the breeze cf flight as they had done en that day when she swooped down through screaming shells to wrest power from the .enemy. Float ing after her moved the huge Roberts, its metal sides throwing back the rays of the western sun. Close be hind in stately pursuit was Seven teen, whose plates had felt the biting force of the dead Yakumo's guns. And so they came, bidding farewell to the ships of an abandoned sea. Small wonder that the soul of the girl who watched felt one instant's regret that she was never again to know the exhilaration of the fray! A half smile of tenderness parted her lips as she thought that there in the air above her were her friends and companions in arms grim old fighting Bevins with his prayerful oaths, good-natured Brockton whose kindliness she knew, and studious little Jenkins whose im perturbability equaled his steadfast bravery. Guy, understanding and respecting the storm of feeling which must be hers at sight of this pageantry of which she had been such a vital part, watched her in silence. Almost at their feet squatted Fort Hancock, whose guns were to bellow for the last time. It too, like its fellow forts, was of the dying. Like them its bas tions would be abandoned and the men within driven to ways of peace. Fortress and ship, garrison and crew, would be no more. Crumbling, un tenanted walls left as records of a nation's defense, and rotting uniforms relegated to garrets, would be all that were left armies reorganized and re duced for police force only, and sail ors become fishermen or passing their lives in other occupations and rem inlscensing of the sea; swords rusting in scabbards and guns corroding in embrasures, nothing more! The last salute had boomed out Lower and lower flew the radioplanes, till they were close above the outgoing ships. The ports of the peacemakers opened, and from them fell garlands of flowers, which fluttered down through the air indiscriminately upon the doomed craft and" the waves them selves a tribute of peace from the living and wreaths for the dying gladiators of war. Hand in hand Norma and Guy stood upon the headland beneath the gray beacon lights that would welcome strange travelers from foreign ports ho more. Into the darkening skies of the east the fleets of the nations were speeding to dissolution and death. The long, steady swell of the free and unburdened sea came monotonously hammering at their feet. In silence they watched the relics of cruel war sail out, saw their hulls disappear, saw the trails of smoke diverge as each squadron sought its own course, and then looked into each other' eyes, reading therein nothing bnt a promise of love and serenity. Their troubles bad vanished as had those fleets of the sea, and life with all Its possibilities of accomplishment and contentment was before them. They turned from the great silent ocean and walked into the golden radiance of the sunset toward their home. THE END. some big house and make your com mission."

"When my little girl was six months old I noticed small red spots on her right cheek. They grew so large that I sent for the doctor but, Instead of helping the eruption, his ointment seemed to make it worse. Then I went to a second doctor who said it was eczema. He also gave me an oint ment which did. not help either. The disease spread all over the face and the eyes began to swell. The itching grew intolerable and it was a terrible sight to see. I consulted doctors for months, out they were unable to cure the baby. I paid out from 20 to 130 without relief. One evening I began to use the Cutlcura Remedies. The next morning the baby's face was all white instead of red. I continued until the eczema entirely disappeared. Mrs. P. E. Gumbin. Sheldon, la, July 1308." Better Dna a Cbem.

A German shoemaker left the gas turned on in his shop one night, and, upon arriving in the morning, struck a match to light it There was a ter rific explosion, and' the shoemaker was blown out through the door almost to the middle of the street A passerby rushed to his assistance, and, after helping him to arise, in quired ii he was injured.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Home laundering would be equal ly satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at tne Improved appearance of your work. Seek Prevention of Consumption. The municipal authorities of Berlin have decided to introduce another feature in their administration of tu berculosis. Heretofore, municipal ef fort has been confined to the mainten ance of one or two homes for curable consumptives, but it is recognized that, useful as this is, it alone can not cope with this disease. They have resolved, therefore, to devote more at tention to preventive measures. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does cot 6tick to the iron.
