With the possible exception Of Rep

seems to him that no other means will
settle the trouble in Mexico. Gray,
however, has not fully made up his.
mind that the arrest of a few Ameri-

a sufficient insult to provoke war.

for its refusal to recognize the pre-
tentions of, General Huerta to he re-
garded as the constitutional provis-

The manifest danger Of such.a situ-
alton was that such offenses might
grow from bad to worse until some
thing happens Of SO gross and intoler-
able a sort as to lead directly and in
evitably to armed conflict. 1t was
necessary that the apologies of Gen
eral Huerta and his representatives
should go much farther, that they
should be such as to attract the atten-
tion of the whole population to their
significance and such as to impress up
on General Huerta himself the neces-
sity Of seeing to it that no further oc-
casion for explanation and ppofessed
regrets should arise.

the entire land and naval forces of

81 had loudly proclaimed my cham
pionship of civic virtue, however, and
here was a chance to serve Reuton. I
acquiesced. The day I was to start
up here, poor Kendrick came back.
He. too. had been student of mine;
a friend of both Drayton and Hayden.
Seven years ago he and Hayden were
running the Suburban together, under
Thornhill's direction. The two young
men became mixed up in rather
shady business deal, which was more
of Haydens weaving than Hendricks.
Hayden came to Kendrick with the
story that they were about to be found
out. and suggested that one assume the
blame and go away. | am telling you
all this in confidence as friend of my
friends. the Bentleys, and young man
whom I like and trust despite your
momentary madness in the matter of
yellow locks-we are all susceptible.
'Kendrick went. For seven years he
stayed away, in an impossible tropic
town, believing himself sought by the
law, for so Hayden wrote him. Not
long ago he discovered that the mat
ter in which he and Hayden had Of
Tended had never been disclosed after
all. He hurried back to the states.
You can imagine his bitterness. Ho
had been engaged to Myra Thornhill,
and the fact that Hayden was also in
love with her may have had some
thing to do with his treachery to his
friend"
Magees eyes strayed to where the
two victims of the dead mans false
hood whispered together in the shad-
ows, and he wondered at the calmness
with which Kendrick had greeted Hay
den in the room above.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Professor Sums Up.


In Upper Asquewan Falls the clock
on the old town hall struck nine. Mr..
Magee, on guard in Baldpate's dreary
office. counted the strokes. She must
be halfway down the mountain now
perhaps at this very moment she heard
Quimby's ancient gate creaking in the
wind. He could almost see her as she
tramped along through the snow, the
lonely heroine Of the most romantic
walk Of all romantic walks on Baldpate
to date. Halfway to the waiting-room
where she had wept so bitterly: half
way to the curious station agent with
the mop of ginger hair. Tonight there
would be no need Of troubadour to
implore weep no more. my lady
William Hallowell Magee had removed
the cause for tears.
It was a long vigil he had begun. but
there was no boredom in it for Billy
Magee. He was too great lover of
contrast for that. AS he looked around
on the ill-assorted group he guarded
he compared them with the happier
people Of the inns summer nights,
about whom the girl had told him.
Instead of these surly or sad folk sit
ting glumly under the pistol Of ro-
mantle youth. he saw maids CARRIED in
the magic of muslin fit through the
shadows. Lights glowed softly; a
waltz came UP from the casino on the
breath of the summer breeze. Under
the red and white awnings youth and
Joy and love had their day-or their
night. The hermit was on hand with
his posta]-carded romance. The trees
gossiped in whispers on the mountain.
And. too the rockingham fleet Cos
siped in whispers on the veranda, paus-
ing only when the admiral sailed by in
his glory Eagerly it ran down its
game. This girl-this Myra Thornhill
he remembered. had herself been a
victim. After Kendricl disappeared
she had come there no more, for there
were ugly rumors of the man who had
fed. Mr.. Magee saw the girl and her
long-absent lover whispering together
in the freight: he wondered If they,
too. imagined themselves at Baldpate
in the summer; If they heard the waltz
in the casino. and the laughter Of men
in the grill-room.
Ten o'clock. said the town hall
pompously. She was at the station

But the embodiment of Great
Britain and her allies, Belgium and
Holland, will have a military

defeat the Emperor's Napoleonic

Britain, with the German feet either
crushed or blockaded, will be free to

across the lines of communication of
the German invasion of France.
With such diversion threatening its
flank and rear, the pressure upon
France would be relieved. By the
time the Britain-Belgian- Holland
flanking movement is in full swing,
the Russian army corps will have
moved down to confront Germany
upon her eastern frontiers, and it
may well happen that Germany's
vigorous offensive will have to give
way to defensive fight for her very
existence.
