to account. These English don't fight"
Nor the Americans"
A slight flush overspread the fea-
lures of the young man at the third
table when one Of the officers said he
would like to kiss Miss Hathorne.
Between the sexes, especially young
people, there are sign expressions that
stand in the place of words. Grace
Hathorne's eye happened to light on
the man sitting alone at the moment
he flushed. 1t darted from him to the
officers. and the two items gave her
clew. They were talking about her
and had excited the Indignation of the
young civilian. Her father, her BROTH

and wished to go to the hotel. The
party arose. and as they did so one OF
the officers, who was half drunk, threw
her kiss with the words. "Goodby.
beautiful daughter of Albion"
The situation was painfully embar-
RAISING. Every man In the Hathorne
party knew that resenting the insult
would bring challenge from the Ger
man. Sir Give Oglesby grew very red
in the face; George Hathorne started
toward the Germans, but his mother
caught the skirt of his coat and held
him back. Mr.. Hathorne drew his
daughters hand under his arm and
marched her out of the Hofbrauhaus.
The others of the party followed, show
ing great irritation.
When they had gone the young man
at the third table drew leather case
from his pocket, took out a card, re-
turned the case. arose and. passing over
the few steps between him and the Of

had perpetrated the insult. 1t read,
