himself only moment before, leaned
over his desk, resting himself on the
knuckles of his clenched hands, and
said:
THAT is an order from the secretary
of the navy positively commanding all
the vessels owned by the United
States in Pacific waters to return
without delay to Baltimore. It's
shame, that's what it is! The other
nations of the world should intervene
and prevent this country from com.
mitting suicide. Conditions are 80 ex-
traordinary that l don't dare intrust
anyone but you to make report of
the situation, and you have got to do
that in person"
He walked up and down the room
excitedly for a few moments, freely
expressing his perplexity over the
turn of events, and ended by abruptly
ringing for u timetable and sailing
list, which he consulted before again
addressing himself to his secretary.
Get out OF here as quickly as you
can!" he ordered. go to your rooms.

ports of conditions as l can>write in
the meantime. When you get to New
York, go as quickly as you can to the
Cunard dock. from which the Lucania

These matters are too important to
admit of delay and ordinary official re-
ports. Go quickly!" he concluded, al
most showing Hitler through the door
'I'll attend to everything here. Don't
let there be any delay on your part!'
The secretary hurried away tC
make preparations for his departure
leaving the perturbed ambassador to
prepare his reports. He called cab
and drove to his apartment. intent on
first telephoning to Miss Roberts. His
man met him at the door and handed
him letter addressed In familiar

Where Eau-de.coIosne ls Made.

Cologne's toilet water industry was
established in the beginning Of the
seventeenth century. At tina, time the
city numbered about $4,000 inhab-
itants. while the present population
is 100000. The inventors of toilet
water (eau de Cologne) were Paul
Feminis and Maria Clementine, o
Catholic nun. They began on a small
scale, with few persons employed,
whom they did not initiate into the Sc
crets of the whole process, the last
and most important mixture being
made by the inventors themselves.
Paul Feminis left the secret with the
Farina family. while the nun be
queathed the secret to one Feter
Schaeben, who had been her assistant
for many years. Both families still
carry on the business and are the
leading manufacturers. There are
about 80 manufactures OF eau de Co.

moment there had been little time for
him either to brood over the situation
or to conjecture over her strange ~
titude.
Throughout the early morning he
hurried this way and that, receiving
visitors and answering requests for In
formation from Great Britain. His
superior, heated and exasperated,
broke in upon him almost as he was
starting to call UP Miss Roberts resi-
dence.
Guy" the ambassador said, 1--WE are
in country of lunatics. There is
something in this governments atti-
tude that is inexplicable. 1t cant be
that they are all towards, and yet
have something to show you"
The ambassador drew q handker-
chief from his sleeve and wiped the
perspiration from his forehead, after
which he reached large pudgy finger
over to the secretary's desk, pressing
there on pearl-topped electric button.
Walters" he said to the usher
who came into the room in answer to
the summons, neither Mr.. Hitler nor
myself is here, and we won't be back
for an hour; that is what you are to
say without exception" Then as the
attendant bowed himself out he beck
oned the secretary to follow him into
the seclusion OF his private office.
Hitler" he began, throwing
paper on the desk before the secre-
tary, who had seated himself on the
opposite side, read that"

official order addressed to fleet COM

asked in tone o. great disgust, and
then, as Hitler started to question
him, put up his hand for silence. mo,
it doesn't matter where l got 1t, or

look of blank interrogation on his
face, while the ambassador rose from

leaning toward her. There is some
thing which makes me think you love

father, or of your plans, because

He frowned at the waiter, who came
toward them and then retreated.
Norm" he went on, there is to be
war. Your country is unprepared. 1t
will be overrun by an enemy that is
ruthless and that will come to con-
quer. The end may not be defeat;
but as certain as death this country
will writhe and suffer before it can
regain the ground it will lose in the
outset. Can't you see that? Can't
you understand what it will be for
you and your father here under such
conditions? Don't you know that for
your very safety you must leave? AS
my wife, or even my betrothed, can
make the way so much easier for
you! Give me the right, dear, give me
the right"
1T is impossible" she replied, turn
Ing toward him again; and he looked
hurt. 1T is the very danger of war
that makes 1t so. You don't know

you; but it's impossible. l must be

But what had the war to do with that?
Perhaps she would never be more to
him If her father went insane, because
then she would say no because of her
very love for him, and the fear for pos
terity. Their happiness, then, was to
depend upon the condition of an old
mans mind.
Norm" he asked, softly, 'is 1t in

She turned toward him in amaze

She spoke as one under stress and
suppression. you must ask nothing
more. You must take my love on
faith or not at all until you know it is

He felt that it was a crisis with
them, and slowly thought of what he
might say to break away this barrier
or induce her to remove the embargo
They sat looking into the distance;
but before he could formulate an ar
gument the sound of horses hoofs

and timing them with a nicely. 1t was
an easy win for Martin. who finished
fresh. while Walcott gave visible signs OF
being tired.
The men went right at it in the first
round and exchanged body blows. Terry
then began driving his right and lett TO
mouth repeatedly and received mucn less
punishment in return. The round ended
with Martin swinging right to jaw ana
nose. In the second round Waicott got
in number OF body blows that landed,
but in return he received a pounding on
the head and face. The third round was
a repetition Of the second. and the fourth
was also like 1t, with Walcott planting
his gloves on body and Martin doing ex-
ecution on the upper works. Martin
showed that he was in good condition
from the way he stood up against several
blows on the basket
The fifth round was about even, Wal
colt getting down to work In something
like his old-time form. However, in the
sixth Martin was the aggressor, and
after Martin had swung left to mouth
and right to wiTd Walcott hung on IN
the clinch. Then Terry finished out the
round by knocking out the gold tooth on
Joe's upper jaw.
