He heard a soft step on the stair
in the hall without; the gentle swish
of dress as somebody descended
from the floor above. A vision ap
peared in the doorway. Without

word of remonstrance, without throh
of hesitation on her part, he took her
in his arms. From the drawiDg-room
opposite, Mr.. Robert Maitland softly
tiptoed across the hall and closed the
library door, neither of the lovers be

Often and often they had longed for

had drunk deep Of the chalice OF cour-

very bottom, they had shown each
other that though love was the great
est of passions. honor and loyalty were
the most powerful of forces, and now
they reaped the reward of their abne-
cation and devotion.
At last the woman gave herself NJ
to him in complete and entire aban'

was his own without the shadow OF
a reservation. She shrank from nc

In the meanwhile Rosy was any

hostess. for II the truth be told. she
sulked and cried nearly all the time.

left her friend in ignorance of what
she had found out.
On Saturday the two went over to

of Joy when she saw Hugh with her
host, although she pretended to be
very angry, and would not speak to
him.
They all climbed into the boat which
was to take them to the Stewart cot

Kathryn's face grew a little redder
than it had been since she first saw
Hugh with her husband. but she said
stoutly:

GERMANS INCREASE
 STRENGTH OF NAVY

Two parties of British gentlemen were Trested for suspicious actions in the German harbor during the sum mer, but were released with warn. ing. MT. Stewart was less fortunate. His hobby was volunteer soldering, and he had for years held commis- sion in the English territorials. At the height of the Moroccan crisis last summer he seems to have been seized with a desire to serve his country by gathering information of military val ue of the spot. Through some e. quaintanee in the military intelligence department he secured the address af one of its agent on the Continent and after getting in communication with h'm "ame to Germany. The rgsn. was playing a double game and immedi stely betrayed him to the German days after his arrival, the unfaithfuI agent first arranging to plant on him an discriminating memorandum of se- cret naval information. Stewart man aged to destroy this before his arrest, but the testimony of the agent, Stew art correspondence and his own ad- missions were sufficient to convict him. and he was sentenced to- three and one-half years in fortress.
 The cases of Brandon, Trench and Stewart are quite different from those of Gross and other paid, pro fessional spies, who have received long sentences in the penitentiary, and the German court hes recognized that their motives were patriotic and not mercenary by imposing sentences of fortress arrest, such as German officers receive for duelling and oth- CT offences which are not regarded as disbonoring.

Sir t1lbeft Parkef, after somewhat lengthening his stay in New York City, sailed Friday for London. He writes that the weather there has been atrocious.
 Throughout his American visit, he has adhered to his determination not to address any public body formally. The only exception to this rule was when, in this city, he delivered a talk before the Prescott Chamber of Commerce. and when he thanked his friends at the Yavapai Club, for the Arizona quartz chain given him on his departure from the Mile High City. Yesterday, Secretary Fraser re- ceived the following telegram, penned by the famous author-statesman on the eve of embarking:
 "As say au revoir to Mayor Gold. water, President Doyle and the mem. bers of the Yavapai Club and all the good friends who helped give me health and happiness in Prescott and Arizona, the worlds duties thicken abound me but mercy and gratitude will keep my mind turning to you all. GILBERT PARKER"
