CHAPTER II.
The Girl and the Waiter.


At seven o'clock, in immaculate eve
ming attire, Holton set out from his
club and sailed forth to the Willard.
After studying the menu lovingly. and
having devised a dinner suitable to
the palate of one who mad followed the
lure of Epicurus in Vienna, Paris, and
London, he turned from the card and
lighting a cigarette and slipping a cock
tail he gazed about the room.
At one table he saw the French am
bassador and a company of his Gallo
friends. Near by young Pembroke, Of
the British embassy, was dining girl
Holton had met. To his left sat a
dark-skinned, sleek-appearing man
with close-cropped Vandyke beard. He
had been pointed out to Holton in
Paris as a man who had plans of Ger
man forts at Kiel for sale. The young
officer wondered what he was doing
here.
Altogether the atmosphere, Holton
decided, was just as it should be, just
as the capital of country should act
when the government stands on the
brink of international war
Holton had just dispatched his first
oyster when his attention was attract
ed by musical little laugh to a table
about twenty feet away from him. A
girl, slightly above the medium height,
with slender resilient figure, was stand
ing with her back to him, talking to

and the dark features Of the Latin.
She was a beauty. Holton, connois-
seur of femininity though he was, ad'
United that without hesitation. Her
hair was not the coalblack hair Of her
race, but a shining, golden deep
brown, which lay upon her head in
thick, waving convolutions. Her eyes
were blue-gray, set off by long, dark
lashes and fine brows, which ran with
delicate arches to the straight, finely
modelled nose. Her lips were colored
by nature, pure coral, and her teeth
flashed as she spoke.

JOHN ALSO NEEDED MONEY
AZ It Turned Out, Wife Need Not
Have Been Afraid Of What He
Might Say.

It was Christmas eve. A beautiful
woman sat staring dolefully at the
embers of the fire.
Christmas eve" she murmured,
and no money to buy baby a Christ
mas gift"
Slowly her eyes wandered round the
room until, with a guilty start, they
rested on something standing on the
mantelpiece.
1t was baby's money box. Her
hands clutched the chair convulsively
If only dared!" she murmured.
But what would John say"
For a few moments she stood de-
batting the awful question in her
mind, and then she took the box in
her hands.
John need never know" she whis-
pered
Then, with guilty face, she broke
open the box and emptied on to the
table collection of-tin tacks, nails
etc.
John had been there first.

Salmon Industry Threatened.

Alaskans say that indiscriminate
slaughter soon will drive the whales
out of the north Pacific, and that this
will result in the destruction of the
salmon industry. Countless millions
of herring, now driven close to shore
by the whales, will stay out in the
deep water, they declare, and the

ceased and her partner had begun to
cast his eyes about the room for the
woman whose name appeared next on
his card that Holton saw his oppor-
tunity. Stepping quickly across the
floor, he confronted her with a bow,
seeing which the partner bowed in
turn and disappeared.
Mr. Apple-Mr. Holton!" she ex.
claimed. What surprised"
Not an unpleasant one, l hope"
smiled Holton in reply.
"Of course not" she answered, plac-

Thank you" Holton glanced quick

them?"
"All?" She arched her eyebrows,
but smiled, as if pleased.
Certainly, ALL" said the young man
emphatically, "and as many more as
you can spare"
She regarded him smilingly
What a queer person you are!"
Holton was about to reply when a
man in diplomatic British uniform ap-
preached, bowed stiffly, and bore the
girl away. She looked back at Holton
over her shoulder
"Adios!" she called.
