The man who spoke rose abruptly from
the table, and crossed the room to the
window where he stood with hi' hands in
his pockets, lcomily gazing into space
The row Of chimney-pots on the oppo-
site side of Bruton street did not admit
of glimpse into futurity. but In any
case the gazer's vision was an introspec-

His fellow lodger and brother clerk in
the foreign office, Stanworth Brinkman,

At HEADQUARTERs

MANY friends OF the Aston Battery are advocating
the retention OF that command as a part or the Ma
fional Guard after # has been mustered out OF the
volunteer service. Il has been urged for long
time that the artillery arm OF the service IL TOO
small and that instead OF four batteries there
should br q regiment.
The First and Second batteries are in the First
Brieade the Third IS in the Second Brigade and
the Sixth Is in the Thlrd Brigade. The Fourth and
Fifth brgades have artillery, and It has been
suggested that the Aston Battery might be taken
into the Guard with the designation Fourth Bat

il was stated at division headquarters tina, the
advocates OF the scheme believed that the Astor
Battery would bring back the guns which they took
10 Manila. and FOR that reason would be a valuable
acquisition o., ,,
guns have been left az Manila. and II the battery
were added to the State forces new equipments
would have be purchased
Offers 10 organize batteries were received by Gen
eral Howard Carroll from many sources just before
his term as chief OF Artillery expired. and Il is the
opinion OF many officers that regiment OF artillery
could be organized In short time, but there seems
to DE no disposition on the part OF those VINO are
