THE WAITER AT DINNER TIME

Were you ever in a restaurant at
the noon hour when the rush is on and
saw the expression on the walters face
when a man orders a breakfast or a
supper or dinner? If not just try it
yourself. There is nothing so aggra
waiting or disgusting to waiter than
to have some one order special
Many people take a notion they want
ham and eggs and buttered toast for
dinner. II they could see the express
sion on the cooks face they would
change their mind. Another man

and a plate OF fresh fried potatoes.
perhaps French fried. Another man
wants only q hamburger nicely cooked
and seasoned 30 and So OF course the
waiter is courteous and complies with
the request but he thinks q great deal
and talks about you when he gets out
OF your sight. 1t seems that some
people would know better than to give
any special orders at dinner time. The
cooks have all they can take care Of to
serve the regular menu without having
to stop and prepare something extra.

Dust Storm Does Damage to Wheat.


Topeka, Kan.-Much damage to
growing crops, particularly to wheat,

Of the state experiment station at
Hays, in a statement just issued.

of the most severe dust storms Sun

Cured in this part of the state" he
says. con some fields the damage
was very great. The wheat, which al
ready was too thin and weak in
growth, was almost completely de-
stroyed or so badly injured that 1t
will not make a crop. On other fields,
where the grain was stronger, the
wheat was severely injured by the
drifting sand and the blowing away
of the soil, and such fields have re-
ceived a severe check from which the
wheat cannot fully recover, even with
very favorable growing conditions.

out of a total of $50 was almost to-

from the drifting of the soil from ad-
jacent plowed fields and fields of kaf'
fir corn and cane stubble. The drift

the adjacent field of grain, gradually
pulverized the surface and started the
soil particles to moving on the whole
field, and thus the destruction Went

| table of polished mahogany, upon
which rested a reading lamp.
The glow OF this lamp Illuminated
the forms and faces of a group of Sc
rious faced men-two seated, the 9th
ers standing. In the golden light,
with the dim backg round Of shelves,
surmounted here and there by u Use
or classic bust, the group impressed
Orme like a stately painting-a tab
leau distinguished by solemn dignity.
1--WE are to remain here and keep
very quiet" whispered the girl.
Orme nodded. His eyes were fixed
on the face Of a man who sat at the
table, pen poised in his hand. Those
strong, straight features-the eyes,
with their look of sympathetic COM
prehension, so like the girls-the lips,
eloquent in their almness-surely this
was her father. But Orme's heart
beat faster, for the face of this man,
framed in its wavy hair, was familiar.
Where had he seen this man? That
they had never met, he felt certain,
unless, indeed, they had shaken hands
in a casual and forgotten introduction.
Or was he led into feeling of rec
ignition by the undoubted resem-
blance of father to daughter? No, it
could not be that; and yet this man,
or his picture-ah The recognition
came to Orme in a flash.
This was the magnetic face that was
now so often appearing in the press
the face of the great, the revered, the
able statesman upon whom rested so
great part Of the burden of the coun-
try's welfare. No wonder that Orme
recognized it, for it was the face of
the secretary of state! And the girl
was his daughter.
Orme was amazed to think how he
had failed to piece the facts together.

negotiations; the sudden but not Sc
rious illness of the secretary; his tenn

CHAPTER XIX.
A Saved Situation.

He waited impatiently for her re-
turn. Bessie, he knew, might be in
one of the rooms just across the hall,
but, though Bessie was trump, he
did not go to look for her. The girl
might come back at any moment-and
= he did not wish to miss one instant
of her presence.
Again he considered the miracle of
her appearance in his life, and he re-
joiced that, from the first he had been
able to be of service to her. Those
loving, trusting words that she had
just spoken-how they glowed in his
heartl She had known that he would
succeed! He could only think that
the secret telegraphy Of his love had
sent her messages Of confidence.
And yet he did not even know her
name. The house was just such a one
as he might have imagined to be her
home-beautiful, with the air of
longer family tradition than is COM
monty found in the middle west-un-
obtrusive but complete. And the fur
nishings of the room in which he was
standing were in quiet but perfect
taste.
On a table near him lay a book.
Mechanically he picked it up.
1t opened at the fly leaf Something
was written there-her name, per-
haps.
He closed the cover without read
ing the inscription, conscious only of
a line of writing in a feminine hand
that might be hers or another's. No,
he could wait. The name did not
matter. She was his, and that was
enough.
Near the book lay an empty en-
velope, addressed to-he averted his
eyes.
He found himself wondering wheth-
err Poritol was still kneeling in the
field, and whether Maku was still run
ming, and whether the Japanese min
lister was still telling charming stories
on the porch at Arradale.
And presently, when she came
again, her face radiant, and said. soft

dear'-when she said that, he could

asked.

porary retirement from Washington
to Chicago, to be near his favorite
physician-for weeks the papers had
been full of these incidents.
When South Americans and jap
anese combined to hinder the signing
of mysterious papers, he should have
realized that the matter was not of
private, but of public Importance. But
the true significance of the events
into which he had been drawn had es-
capped his logical mind. 1t had never
occurred to him that such series of
plots, frequent though they might be
in continental Europe, could ever be
attempted in country like the United
States. And then, he had actually
thought of little besides the girl and
her needs.
He glanced at her now, but her gaze
was fixed on the scene before them.
The brightness of her eyes and her
quickened breathing told him how in
tense was her interest.
Across the table from the secretary
of state sat younger man. his breast
gllttered with decorations. and his
bearing and appearance had all the
stiffness of the high-born Teuton.
OF the men who stood behind the
two seated figures, some were young,
some were old, but all were weighted
with the gravity Of great moment
Orme inferred that they we're secre-
taries and attaches.
And now pens scratched on paper.
The secretary of state and the Ger
man ambassador-for Orme knew that
It must be he-were signing docu-
ments, apparently Elm duplicate, for
they exchanged papers after signing
and repeated the action. So these
we're the papers which at the last
hour oFme had restored; and this was

always be evidence of it's TRUTH" said
the girl; and then, with a suggestion
of adorable shyness, 1--WE must go and
redeem that bill sometime"
The secretary was bordering. He
had listened with manifest interest,
interrupting now and then with ques-
lions that helped to bring out salient
points. At the report of the converse
ton between Alcatrante and the ia
panese concerning the commissions
on ships, he had leaned forward with
especial attention. And now, after a
few moments of thought, he said:
1.-The Japanese minister we can ham
die. AS for Alcatrante, must see to
it that he is recalled-and Poritol."
Poor little Mr.. Poritol!" exclaimed
the girl do you think he is still
kneeling in that field?"
Possibly" said Orme, smiling. I'VE
will look to see when we go to redeem
the bill"
81 think, Mr.. Orme," said the secre-
tary, that l may fairly give you lit
tie clearer insight into the Importance
of the papers which you rescued for
us. You have seen stories of the ru-
mors of negotiations with some for
eign power?"
YES" said Orme.
But, perhaps you have not known
of the secret but aggressive policy
which japan has lately adopted to-
ward us. The exchange of friendly
notes a few years ago might as we'll
not have occurred. If we had done
nothing to check the tendencies In
the Pacific, we should have been at
war within another year. Only a COM
plete understanding and definite agree
ment with some strong nation could
prevent hostilities. The Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance eliminated Great Brit

| the scene which his action had made
possible-all for the sake of girl
And when the last pen-stroke had
been completed and the seated men
raised their eyes and looked at each
other-looked at each other with the
responsible glance of men who have
made history-at that moment the girl
whispered to Orme: Come and ST.
lently he followed her back to the
room in which he had first awaited
her.
"Oh, Girl" he whispered, as she
turned and faced him, "Oh, Girl, am
so glad!"
She smiled please wait for mo-
ment."
When she had disappeared he re-
pictured the scene they had just wit
messed. With all its absence of pomp
it had left with him an impression
that could never be effaced.
Again the girl appeared in the door
way, and leaning on her arm was her
father. Orme stepped forward. The
secretary smiled and extended his
hand.
Mr.. Orme," he said, 1--WE owe you
much. My daughter has told me
something of your experiences. You
may be sure that | had no notion,
when this affair began, that she would
have to envelop herself and others in
so much mystery, but now that all has
ended WELL | can only be thankful"
He seated himself You will excuse
me; | am not quite strong yet, though,
as | might say, very convalescent."
The girl was leaning on the back of
her fathers chair. Tell father the
story, won't you, please?" she asked,
So Orme quickly narrated the series
of events that begU with his stroll

day before at doesn't sound true,

"But the marked five-dollar bill will
