The heart of many woman, working

bittern when she read of the encour
agement given to soldiers be lh frelatet
of England and Germany to hastily marry

heart sent out a wild call to Ned. This
had been th first time she had seen hit
face since the dsy of their wedding.
At th door of the sumptuously fitted
crimson snd gold salon on the yacht the
tottering June was confronted by a stolid
steward with gray mutton chop whisker

wore, aa tf habitually, a half whimper.

It seems not unUkely that, with the ces

of all kinds, might Itself disappear, being

It might be that,' at the absolute sero
