as can be hurriedly gathered after the
battle opens"
Alvey a. Adee, second assistant ser
rotary Of state. is the harbinger OF
spring at the state department. Before
the storms of March are over and the
crocuses lift their humble heads above
the greening grass, Secretary Adee
digs out of the recesses of his desk
dog cared road map of France and be-
gins to trace thereon the prospective
| tour he is to make during his summer
vacation, which he spends always on a
bicycles, This preliminary preparation
| is most complete He marks with a red
cross the hotels at which he is to stop,
with another kind of cross the towns
| to which his luggage is to be forwarded
| and at which he will get change OF
| linen; a red line marks the route he is
: to take Everything is arranged with
| score of years of diplomatic experience.
| Mr. Adee is now so well known IN
France that the hotel keepers and inn
keepers in the small towns and villages
would be very much disappointed If
they failed to see him pedalling over
the nearest knoll some fine May morn
ing. He knows them all by name and
can ask Intelligent questions about the
children, rejoicing nthe news that
Marie is married or that Jean mas
| taken himselfa wife, Or shaking his
head to hear that grand pere has been
laid away for good since his last trip,
or that the mother who cooked the
| fat pullet for him summer before last,
| is so afflicted with rheumatism that she
can do nothing in the kitchen any
more.
! From all this it is plain to be seen
| that Mr. Adee does not suffer for lack
of good things in the larder at his ap-
proach. The news OF his coming is the
L
signal for the slaughter of the favorite
hen of the family, no matter how many
eggs she lays, and the best the garden
has to offer is put before him. When he
has refreshed himself and passed the
time Of day, he mounts his bicycle and
pedals on to the next stop where it be-
gins all over again, da cape.
/ Mr.. Adee has pedalled over 10000
| miles of roads in France He insists
| that it is not that he is an enthusiast
| in the matter of bicycle riding, but be-
cause it gives him the necessary exer-
else to put him in good physical trim
for the rest of the year. Besides it en-
ables him to proceed with a certain de-
liberation and gives him an intimate
view of the country through which ne
passes. When he comes back to the
state department, which is turned over
to him while the secretary and assist
ant secretary are away, his step is
jaunty, the glow of physical Well being
is in his cheeks and he is on the Job
until the crocuses bloom again.
