THE FOLLY OF Discomfort
Vain Longing and Aspirations, as
This Little Fable Shows Are
Things of Moment.

A fashionable woman, coming from
the opera, in the rosy nest of limou'
sine, passed group Of laborers at
midnight Machines, like terrible ami,

Steam was Kissing, as if from the
mouths of million serpentS. Rocks

And the woman, glanCing from the
window at a certain workman, for an
instant thought:
How | wish | had that bTawny la.

! envy him his power, his physical
perfection, the wonder Of his man
hood, his freedom from the shackles
that bind me. He is his own master
while am a slave-the slave of

At that moment the iabOrer paused
long enough by the deep chasm where
his engine rocked, to glance into the
motor as it sped by him. And he
thought:
"Oh, to be like her. To know leis-
ure and wealth and rest. To be free
from drudgery and toll, to come and
go as | pleased. To throw off the
chains of debt and worry, and have
the days and nights stretch ahead of
me like field of flowers"

she asked. y thought you were to de-
pend on them for scouting"
1--WE shall use them, but they are
the least tried Of all the new re-
sources" he said. "a Gray aeroplane
may cut a Brown aeroplane down be-
fore it returns with the news we want.
At most, when the aviator may descend
low enough for accurate observation
he can see only what is actually being
done. Teller would know Westerling's
plans before they were even in the
first steps Of execution. This"-play-
ing the thought happily-"this would
be the ideal arrangement, while our
planes and dirigibles were kept over
our lines to strike down theirs. And,
Marta, that is ALL he concluded.
IF there is war, the moment that
Feller's ruse is discovered he will be
shot as a spy" she asked.
Il warned him of that said Lam
stron. "He is a soldier, with a SOL
dier's fatalism. He sees no more dan
der in this than in commanding a bat
terry in a crisis"
Suppose that the Grays win? Sup
pose that La Tir is permanently

They shall not win. They must
not" Lanstron exclaimed, his tone as
rigid as Westerling's toward her sec
ond prophecy.
yet if they should win and Wester-
ling finds that l have been party to
this treachery, as | shall be now that
l am in the secret, think Of the posi-
ton Of my mother and myself" she
continued. Has that occurred to you,
a friend, in making our property, our
garden, our neutrality, which Is our
only defense, factor In one Of your
plans without our permission?"
Her eyes, blue-black in appeal and
reproach, revealed the depths Of a
wound as they had on the terrace steps
before luncheon, when he had been
apprised of feeling for him by seeing
it dead under his blow. The logic of
the chief Of intelligence withered. He
understood how a friendship to her
was, indeed, more sacred than patriotic
passion. He realized the shame of
what he had done now that he was
free Of professional influences.
"You are right, Marital" he replied.
1T was beastly of me-there is no ex.
cuse."
He looked around to see an orderly
from the nearest military wireless sta
ton.
Il was told 1t was urgent, said
the orderly, in excuse for his intrusion,
as he passed a telegram to Lanstron.
Immediately Lanstron felt the touch
of the paper his features seemed to
take on a mask that concealed his
thought as he read:
Take night express. Come direct
from station to me. Partow."
This meant that he would be ex-
pected at Partow's office at eight the

CHAPTER VII.
Maxine a War,
appeared.

Hedw0rth Westerling would have
said .~sasyso one II he had been asked
the odds against war when he was
parting from Marta Galland in the
hotel reception room. Before he
reached home he would have changed
them to ten to one. A scare bulletin
about the Bodlapoo affair compelling
attention as his car halted to let the
traffic of cross street pass, he bought
a newspaper thrust in at the car win
dow that contained the answer of the
government of the Browns to dis
patch of the Grays about the dispute
that had arisen in the distant African
jungle. This he had already read two
days previously, by courtesy of the
premier. 1t was moderate in tone, as
became power that had 100000 SOL
diers against its opponents 100000;
nevertheless, it firmly pointed out that
the territory of the Browns had been
overly Invaded, on the pretext of Sc
curing a deserter who had escaped
across the line, by Gray colonial
troops who had raised the Gray flag in
place Of the Brown flag and remained
defiantly in occupation of the outpost
they had taken.
AS yet, the Browns had not attempt
ed to repel the aggressor by arms for
fear of complications, but were relying
on the Gray government to order
withdrawal of the Gray force and the
reputation of commander who had
been guilty Of so grave an international
affront. The surprising and illuminat-
ing thing to Westerling was the in
spired statement to the press from the
Gray foreign office, adroitly appealing
to Gray chauvinism and justifying the
intrepidity" of the Gray commander
in response to so-called pin ricking"
exasperations.
At the door of his apartment, Fran.
co.'s, his valet and factotum, gave Wes-
terling letter.
Important, SIR" said Francois.
Westerling knew by glance that it
was, for it was addressed and marked
Personal" in the premier's own hand
writing. A conference for ten that
evening was requested in manner
that left no doubt of its urgency.
Curiosity made him little ahead Of
time, but he found the premier await
ing him in his study, free from inter.
ruption or eavesdropping.
In the shadow Of the table lamp the
old premier looked his years. From
youth he had been in politics, ever a
bold figure and daring player, but
now beginning to feel the pressure Of
younger mems elbows. Ponder even
Of power, which had become habit,
than In his twenties, he saw it slipping
from his grasp at an age when the
downfall of his government meant that
he should never hold the reins again.
He had been called an ambitious dem.
agogue and makeshift opportunist by
his enemies, but the crowd liked him
for his ready strategy, his genius for
appealing phrases, and for the gam
bler's virtue which hitherto had made
him a good loser.

to me after all you have been telling
how YOU are to make redoubt of our

into our drawingroom?"
What could he say? Only call up
from the depths the two passions of
his life in an outburst, with all the
force of his nature in play.
Il love this soil, my country's soil,
ours by right-and love you! l would

Love! What mOckery to mention
that now" she cried chokingly. ITS

I-I-' He was making an effort
to keep his nerves under control.
This time the stiffening elbow failed.
With a lurching abruptness he swung
his right hand around and seized the
wrist of that trembling, injured hand
that would not be still She could not
fail to noice the movement, and the
sight was a magic that struck anger
out Of her.
Lanny, am hurting YOU" she cried
miserably.

nant over its servant, and he was
smiling as when, half stunned and in
agony-and ashamed of the fact-he
had risen from the debris of cloth and
twisted braces. its all right" he con-
cluded.
She threw back her arms, her head
raised, with certain abandon as If
she would bare her heart.
"Lanny, there have been moments
when | would have liked to fly to
your arms. There have been moments
when have had the call that comes to

you mean-I-"
But if the fame were about to burst
forth she smothered it in the spark.
"And all this has upset me- she
went on inc0herently. We've both
been cruel without meaning to be, and
we're in the shadow of a nightmare;
and next time you come perhaps all
the war talk will be over and-oh,
this is enough for today"
She turned quickly in veritable flight
and hurried toward the house.

chariot of fire bearing my flame-I am

more than l can argue peace into

watched the point where she had dis

Initiative Principle Now SquareIy on
Trial

The principle of the initiative in
before the voters of Washington. AS
a friend of that principle and it's sup
porter prior to adoption. The Spokes-
man-Review earnestly hopes that the
people will respond to their duty and
opportunity and give to the measures
now before them and others yet to be
initiated that painstakiug and intelli
gent consideration which. it must be
acknowledged, will be indispensable to
the permanent retention of the mi
tiatve method of law-making.
When the principle was before the
people for adoption The Spokesman
Review held no delusion that it would
prove to be the acme of perfection. II
favored a full. fair trial of the re-
form as needed corrective for some
of the evils of the old and unrestrict-
ed legislative system. With candor
then it pointed out that the success
or failure of the bold experiment
would rest with the voters If they
should give to pending initiative
measures a proper degree of intelli-
gent consideration, it had no fears
regarding the soundness of their
judgments.
On the other hand. it must be plain
to every intelligent reader that if
the great mass Of the voters take
no intelligent interest in initiated leg
islation. the new system will break
down and will have to be discarded.
There have now been filed at Olym.

The Trouble in Colorado

Practically the first order made by
the U. s. army officials upon their
arrival in the mining districts in Colo
RADIO was that the gunner and arm.
ed guards employed by the mining
companies be disarmed. The Tribune
pointed out some time ago that this
was the first essential step to a re-
storation Of order The striking min
ers have promptly submitted to the
order that they surrender their arms.
They have insisted from the beginning
that they were armed only in self de-
tense. to protect themselves from the
gunner of the mine operators
The Colorado authorities invited
the reign of anarchy and bloodshed
which has existed in the mining dis
tricts for nearly year when they
sublet the duty Of law enforcement
to the hired fighters of the mining
companies. The law that injustice
breeds injustice, that lawlessness
breeds lawlessness. has not been re-
pealed. Property rights will be re.
spected in Colorado when the state
authorities show respect for legitimate
personal rights. Colorado has been
trying the dangerously anarchistic
experiment Of violating half the law
in the interest Of enforcement OF the
other half
Colorado needs to resume her own
government, too long addicted in the
interests Of arrogant and selfish
wealth. When that is done. the state
will have no further need of Federal
troops.
