hung the picture Of his own daughter.

bitterness of the whole thing was
brought home to him all the more
poignantly because he. too. was q

The hopelessness of Gilbert's tone

to his old self. When he had entered
the room he seemed crushed beyond

all the spirit, all the calm resourceful-
ness. which he had ever displayed
when listening to the report Of some
political revolt which would call forth
hitherto latent strength.

Then she doesn't know"
That's the hell of it-she don't"
Kerr could sit still no longer. He
pulled himself out of his chair and
stood with his back to the fire and
directly facing Gilbert. "All these
years I've acted lie. I've made Gloria
believe I'm the leading man in Bel
mont. / am-but not in the way she

He lapsed into silence. which he
finally broke himself with the explain
atory remark:
Gloria thinks I'm the social leader
Of Belmont; that the whole town
hangs breathless on what l say shall
be the fashion at pink teas"
Hasn't she often wanted to come
back?"
Kerr was not to be hurried. He
began to pace up and down in front
Of the fireplace. When he paused,
the lawyer, to secure continuation
Of the story, said:
"Well?"
This morning she came home"
Now Judge Gilbert understood; yet
he could scarcely believe it possible
What! Gloria here!"
Yes, here" echoed Kerr Come
home, that's what she calls 1t. She's
been visiting school friends since she
came back from Japan, and had just
started to California when the party
fell through when they'd got to St
Louis. So she jumped on the train
and came to Belmont unannounced-
to surprise me"
So here was Gloria In Belmont. 1t

never mentioned his daughter, and
Belmont had almost forgotten her
existence. Much that the boss had
told the lawyer was news to him.
Gloria Kerr, the little girl. had been
allowed to slip out of his mind and
he had come to regard the political
leader. just as every one else did. as
q thing apart, as power almost as
impersonal as the force of gravity or
the freezing of water. The easy boss
was regarded as just as much Bel
mont fixture as was the river which
flowed past the town, and those good
people who laid aside the rose-col-
ored spectacles Of Belmont's laissez
faire doctrine felt that it would be
just as easy to remove one as the
other.
The lawyer in Gilbert now rose to
the surface and he began to question
Kerr just as he would client. The
girl was here. The only thing now
to discuss was what to do with her.
"She can't help but learn the truth"
Gilbert exclaimed at last.

GERMAN CRUISER
 MAKING HISTORY

The German cruised Emden bids fair to become the Alabama Of this war unless her career is promptly checked by a. British cruiser, says the New York Post Starting from the China station, she boldly ventured into the Bay of Bengal on September 10. after having completely disappeared from view for six weeks. Between Sep tennber 10 and IA she captured seven and sank six British merchant ships of considerable tonnage, several of them bound for the United States. On September 22 she sheIled Madras, where she apparently destroyed either steamers. On the 24th she was at PondicF1erry. and yesterday there came the further news that she had sunk four more British steamers and captured the collier Bursk, the latter doubtless an extremely welcome prize. From several of. these vessels she took provisions, so that, if she is not vast ting her shells in sinking her prizes. she is as We1Isoff as when the war be gan. Meanwhile. she is not only in a position to do great damage to Brit ish shopping, but may even be on the line of transports from Calcutta car rying East Indian troops to France. She has already. it is said, brought about the closing of the entrance to Calcutta, and must have caused vigor- ous remonstrances from the British admiralty to reach the commanding officers in the Indian ocean.
 The chase of the Enden should be of special interest if only because of general wonder as to whether the feats of the Alabama can be repeated after fifty years. Undoubtedly, the Emden has the heels of most if not all of the British ships in Indian waters, for she makes twenty-foIr knots and is
 
 CTS. Her speed must decrease, how ever, the longer she is kept from dock ing. There are, of course, far more British warships available for the chase than there were Federal ships for the pursuit of the Alabama. None the less, searching for a, ship in a, body of water like the Indian Ocean is no easier than a. hunt for a needle in a haystack. This is evidenced by the fact that not a single one of the dozen loose German cruisers either in the Atlantic or the Pacific has been caught by the British Somehow or other, by skiIful work they have kept the seas with no coaIfng stations or colonies to run into, at least on the Atlantic. Yet they have been proyisioned and, coaIed. It I1ust be said, however, that they have not individually created as much considers the vast Russian, French and English traffic of the high seas, of which 90 much was caught unawares by the sudden outbreak Of war It is interesting to recall that the Ala ba,ma was a. boat of only 1,040 tons, 21o feet long. with 300 horsepower, and stowage for only $50 tons of coal, with 3. speed under steam alone of twelve knots-a dwarf ship beside the Eknden. with her 3,50O tons her 15,0O0 horsep her arnoredS sides, and her wireless to help her. Yet, with British aid. the Alabama kept the seas for twenty-two months, cruising all ov- CT the world and accounting for Nor thern merchantmen and their cargoes valued at $7.05O,293.76
