"Self-preservation," he corrected,
with magnificent gravity.
She hesitated but a moment longer,
then with quick gesture removed her
mask. Maitland's breath came fast as
he bent forward. peering into her
face; though he schooled his own fea-
lures to an expression of intent and
inoffensive studiousness, he feared the
loud humping of his heart would be-
tray him. AS he looked it became evil
dent that the witchery of moonlight
had not served to exaggerate the SEN
sitive, the almost miniature beauty
of her. If anything, it's charm was
greater there in the full glare of the
electric chandelier, as she faced him.

dismayed by the intentness of his
scrutiny.
In the clear light her eyes shone
lustrous, pools of tawny flame; her
hair showed itself of rich and
luminous coppery hue, spun to i'm
measurable f1neness; a faint color
burned in her cheeks, but in contrast
her forehead was as snow-the pure,
white, close-grained skin that is the
heritage of red-headed women the
world over, and their chiefest charm
as well; while her lips
AS for her lips, the most coherent
statement to be extracted from Mr..
Maitland is to the effect that they
were altogether desirable, from the
very first.
The hauteur of her pose, the SYM
pathy and laughter that lurked in her
mouth, the manifest breeding in the
delicate modelling of her nostrils, and
the firm, straight arch of her nose. the
astonishing allurement of her eyes,
combined with their spirited womanli-
ness-these, while they completed
the conquest of the young man,
abashed him. He found himself of a
sudden endowed with a painful appre-
citation of his own imperfections, the
littleness of his ego, the inherent
coarsenesS of his masculine fiber, the
| poor futility of his ways, contrasted
with her projections. He felt as if re.
buked for some unwarrantable pre-.
sumption. For he had looked
into eyes that were windows of soul;
and the soul Was that of child, un-
sullied and immaculate.
You may smile; but as for Maitland
he deemed it no laughing matter. From
that moment his perception was clear
that, whatever she might claim to be
however damning the circumstances
in which she appeared to him, there
was no evil in her.
But what he did not know, and did
not even guess, was that, from the
same instant, his being was in bond.
age to her will. So Love comes,

Officers of our Army and Navy often
say In confidential conversations that in
no other service is there such rigid pro-
hibition OF professional public discussion

ish officers. Il is asserted, are allowed a
latitude OF expression when policies are
under debate that would shock our War

ence between Lord Charles Bercsford and
Premier Asquith, which Lord Charles has
furnished to the Times, is of such ma
ture as to confirm tho statement that in
Great Britain an officer may publish with
impunity matter which II given to our
press by an American officer might result
in court-martial, Lord Charles complains

run of the Wilmington enthusiasts to Dover
last June is heard in the request from the capital
that our motor car owners Join in the
Thanksgiving day celebration to be held in Do
yer in honor of the improvements that are be-
ing made in that town. The motorists got
cordial reception last June in all the towns
through which they passed. People in the coun-
try districts have not yet ceased talking about
the trip. They want to see the motorists again.
Dover is making great preparations for the
celebration. Before the roadability run OF last
June Dover had often seen Wilmington, politi-
cal Wilmington, turn out, gather at the State
conventions, but in June it saw another part of
Wilmington and it wants to see the other part
again Wilmington, OF course appreciates this
attention.
A good time is promised. At Dover they know
how to make an occasion joyous. In fact all
the State towns know how to entertain when
they wish to do SO. Who will forget the Lewes
affair? And then Milford had a big Halloween
celebration
The state capital purposes to have a carnival
and automobile races will be part of the fes
tivties. All of which interests Wilmington, es-
pecally the automobilists.
We hope they will decide TO make another run
to Dover-that they will visit the State capital
and take part in the ceremonies. The automo-
bilists like the sport They enjoyed the trip
to Dover last June. Let them have big turn

part Of those who are presumed to inspect build

THEFTs BY THE SUGAR TRUST.

HE New York Sun of yesterday contained
a remarkable exposure Of the methods OF
The Sugar Trust by which it is alleged the gov
ernment has been systematically robbed of
huge sums of money for the last twenty wears
by the trust. The government has of late IN
earthed some of the frauds and prosecutions
were begun recently against those persons i'm
plicated, but the defendants won the first round
IN the court when a flaw was discovered in the
proceedings of the prosecution.
It is evident that the Taft administration con-
fronts a large problem. II is "up to" the At
torney- General to make rigorous prosecutions
and his department still hopes TO recover some
OF the vast amounts that the trust has taken
by not paying the proper duty on importations
According to the Sun the methods of plunder
have been pursued on a colossal scale. The
same cargoes were weighed and underweighed
and both sets of figures were presented to the
