DAUGHTER OF REGIMENT.
France Mastering Out ,Vivandiers
and Germany About to
Enlist Them.

In view Of the present friction be-
tween France and Germany. it is curl.
Gus to note the contrary, steps those
countries are taking with respect to
women in the army. The French have
recently mustered out Of the military
service over thousand cantinieres and
vivandferes, or daughters Of the regi-
ment," while the German emperor is
seriously considering compulsory mill
tary service for young German women.
Their duty, says Youths Companion,
would never be upon the field of battle,
but in the various military Offices Of
the EMPIRE thus releasing for field
work thousands Of men now detailed
as clerks and employees. The en-
peror believes that such service would
not only greatly augment his army,
but would materially benefit German
women, training them in punctuality,
order, obedience, business procedure,
and increasing their mental and ply
ical well-being.
Whatever her career, the German
army girl will have none of the pic
turesque features which have pertained
to the French daughter of the regi.
ment." This interesting character first
appeared in the French revolution, and
for over 100 years she has fitted over
the French battlefields of Europe.

The ambulance system on the field
renders the services of the cantinieres
no longer essential: and the thousand
on the rolls have been retired with a

been pensionless, although often more

so picturesque in professions, SO devot'

Indifferent to self, passes from the

would be less keen about war were
their part to watch and pray at home,
while their mothers and sisters and
daughters marched OF to slaughter and
be slain. How the German woman, as
part Of the military system, will affect
the growing cause Of peace remains to
be tested; but her deeper knowledge
of the details of war can hardly fail
to add to her womanly horror Of the
battlefield.

CHAPTER XIII.

Tested upon purely diplomatic
principles, Miss Van Brooks temper
was little less than angelic, exhibiting
itself under provocation only in guard
ed pin-pricks of sarcasm, or in small
sharp-clawed kitten-buffetings of
repartee. But she was at no pains to
conceal her scornful disappointment
when David Kent made known his
doubts concerning his moral right to
use the weapon he had so skillfully
forged.
He delayed the inevitable confession
to Portia until he had told L0rink:
and in making 1t he did not tell Miss
Van Brock to whom he owed the suct-
den change in the point of view. But
Portia would have greatly discredited
her gift of insight If she had not liz
stantly reduced the problem to its low
est terms.
"You have been asking Miss Brent
wood to lend you her conscience, aud
she has done it," was the form Ia
which she stated the fact. And whsa
Kent did not deny 1t: "You lack 1T
least one quality of greatness, David;

said Bargle, obviously.
BY right of his ONCE and of his
familiarity with the place, Bargla
mounted first with his lantern, the
others trailing up after him. In q
twinkling, he had jerked the trap
door open, and stepping into the bell
chamber, peered eagerly around, and
was startled by vision of two white
faces gazing from the shadow of one
of the bells. 49, !

were unperturbed. =;

older of them; you have been q long

quired the vicar, reprovingly.

came to ring the bells.'' ::

Bargle.

"No. It was too early to beKin
when We got here, so We came up to
see what it was like in here; and all
in a jiffy the trapdoor slammed down
and the candle blew out, and we'd left
the matches below. We couldn't feel
where the trap was in the dark, but
we found one of the bells" He fal-
tered, shuddering reminiscently, but
added, forcing q laugh: ITS your
fault really, Bargle. II you hadn't
said you wouldn't ring the bells-no
bells at Christmas!-never heard OF
such thing!-we shouldn't have
come" 9.

The sonata Penelope was playing
was approaching its finale. and Eli
nor was suddenly shaken with a trem-
bling fit Of 1ear--the fear Of conse-
Quences which might involve this
mans entire future. She knew Kent
was leaning on her, and she saw her
self as one who had ruthlessly thrust
an iron bar among the wheels of
+ delicate mechanism. Who was she to
be his conscience-keeper-to stand in
the way and bill him go back? Were
her own motives always so exalted?
Had she not once deliberately debated
this same question of expediency, to
tue utter abasement of her own ideals?
Penelope had left the piano, and LOT

CHAPTER XXI.
THE INsuRRECr1ONAR1Es

THE 1NsURRECT1oNAR1
When the Receiver Guilfords, great
and small, set their official guillotines
ut work looping OF department heads,
they commonly ignore q consequence
overlooked by many; namely, the pos
sible effect Of such wholesale changes
In leadership upon the rank and file.
The American railroad in its uncon-
~solidated stage is a modern feudalism
Its suzerains are the president and
board of directors: Its clan chiefs are
the men who have built it and fought
for its footing in the sharply-contest-
ed field Of competition. To these lead
ers the rank and file is loyal, as loyalty
Is accorded to the men who build and
do, rather than to their successors who
inherit and tear down. Add to this
the supplanting of competent execu-
tive officers by q staff of political
trenchermen, ignorant alike of the
science Of railroading, and the equally
important subsistence of industrial
man-handling, and you have the kim
ding for the fire Of insurrection which
had been slowly smoldering in the
Trans-Western service since the day
when Maj. Guilford had issued his gen.
eral order No: l.
At first the IRE had burned f1tfully,
eating It's way into the small econo-
mics; as when the section hands pelt
stray dogs with new spikes from the
stock key, and careless freight crews
seed down the right-of-way with cast
on links and pins; when engineers
pour oil where it should be dropped,
and hremen feed the stack instead Of
the steAm-dome.
But later, when the incompetence
Of the new onicials became the mock
ing gibe Of the service, and the cut
rate avalanche Of traflc had doubled
{ all mems tasks, the flames rose high
$er and out Of the smoke of them
/ loomed the shape of the dread demon
of Generalization. s4='
