navies and armies in day. And yet
in this frame of mind, where anarchy
seemed less terrible and governments
at best but weak organizations, the
greed for ACKNOWLEDGMENT and con,
quest reasserted itslf.
In Russia the revolutionists took
heart and hoped to possess the land.
In the Balkans, reeking with the blood
of past strife, new forces were forming
for independence. Rulers of neigh.
boring powers studied the map of
Turkey, dreaming Of what portion
might be seized. China, rehabilitated
for aggression by Japan herself, re-
gretted compact with the smaller
country which prevented it's seizure,
now that 1t was so terribly weakened.
But the most threatening attitude of
all was that of Germany toward Great
Britain. The Hohenzollerns, line of
warriors, still held the ancient throne,
and the kaiser was ambitious for his
country's advancement. An astute
ruler Of exceptional capacity, he al
ready had advanced Germanys flag
of trade beyond all seas, and by this
means alone practically dominated all
of South America In all earlier days
Of this trade conquest the United
States had been busted in her home
enterprises, saying to herself that
when she chose she could find way
to take the traffic of the southern con-
tinent with ease. With her eyes swad-
died in silly egotism, she had waited
till too late, and then, when her band
ages were removed, suddenly learned
that commercial brains were not con-

CHAPTER lX.-Continued.

The motor car was placed at Hill
lier's disposal as promised, and be-
fordn night fell he found himself back
in his room at the hotel no worse and
no better for his experience. For ten
days thereafter he made useless at
tempts to forward his message by
every means that his ingenuity could
suggest Once he allowed it out of his
hands, intrusting it through extremity
to the care of fisherman, and on the
the following day, with seals I'M
broken, it was returned to him by
polite officer of the United States
army in civilian dress. Were it not
for the gravity of his task he would
have come to regard it as joke, a
boys game of prisoners base or tag,
in which he was always cit"
And then, as if to reproach him for
his failure, there came from the clear
ness of the sky a swift and terrible
thunderbolt. 1t was a message from
England reporting the disappearance
of that immense fleet which was 10

the delivery of his message for its
immunity from attack. He had taken
too long!
Stunned by this overwhelming dis
aster shuddering in each nerve, and
with every fiber Of his body quivering
he sought the seclusion of his room,
threw himself upon his bed and buried
his face in the pillows. Repeatedly
there ran through his mind the self
reproach that had 1t not been for his
failure this shocking toll Of war might
never have been collected. An armada
of greater strength than that which
had fought off Cape Trafalgar had

ing to him to avert disaster, and he in
this hour of stress, when the fate of
nations hinged upon his resource, had
proved inefficient! Over and over he
reviewed the struggle he had made to
accomplish his mission, but found
even in this stern self-criticism no flaw
Of endeavor. But in his hour of bitter
ness he thought that God might have
more kind.

He was an only child. They were
very particular about his manner OF

Lacking nothing in bravery, they re.

Germany at once began an ominous

An Emperor Disappears.

Such was the effect Of the strange
happenings of May and June that the
poise of all Europe seemed trembling
and unstable. Men who in all their
lives had respected law and society
began to question the value of com.
munal authority, when even the most
carefully reared power proved unable
to protect itself against what appeared
to be only one invention. Taxation
had created government, which in turn
had devised armies and navies and ex.
pended more and more money in their
equipment. 1t had now been demon.

Alva Dyson and Perry Hyder, the
two Jasper young men who we're arrest.
ed last week on a charge Of stealing
junk from the Vomier farm, had their
hearing last Thursday at Carthage,
with the result that Dyson, who had
already confessed to the theft, pleaded
guilty to misdemeanor and was fined
$40 and costs. Hyder was acquitted.
The charge of burglary was at first
entered against Dyson, but it wa
found there was not sufficient evidence
to convict him. Dyson consented, how
ever, to plead guilty to misdemeapor
and take the lighter punishment rather
than stand trial for the more serious
offense.
