Half an hour later he departed, 10
reioin her at eleven o'clock, when the
reporters we're to be expected. He
was to do all the talking for her.
While he was there, Leslie Wrandall
called her up on the telephone. Hear
ing but one side of the rather pro
longed conversation, he was filled with
wonder at the tactful way in which
she met and parted the inevitable
questions and suggestions coming
from her horror-stricken brother-in-
law. Without the slightest trace of
offensiveness in her manner, she gave
Leslie to understand that the final OBJ
sequies must be conducted in the
home of his parents, to whom once
more her husband belonged, and that
she would abide by all arrangements
his family elected to make. Mr.. Car
roll surmised from the trend of con
versation that young Wrandall was
about to leave for the scene of the
tragedy, and that the house was In a
state of unspeakable distress. The
lawyer smiled rather grimly to him

and that, so far as they were con
cerned, he could do no wrong!
After his departure, Mrs. Wrandall
gently opened the bedroom door and
was surprised to find the girl wide
awake, resting on one elbow, her star
ing eyes fastened on the newspaper
that topped the pile on the chair.
Catching sight of Mrs. Wrandall she
pointed TO the paper with trembling
hand and cried out, in a voice full of
horror:
Did you place them there for me to
read? Who was with you in the other
room just now? Was it some one
about the-some one looking for me?
Speak! Please tell me. l heard a
mans voice"
The other crossed quickly to her
side.
Don't be alarmed. 1t was my law
yer. There is nothing to fear-at pres
ent. Yes, left the papers there for
you TO sse. You can see what a sensa-
ton 1t las caused. Challis Wrandall

The girl sank back with a groan.
MY God, what have | done? What

II wish ! could answer that ques-
tion," said the other, taking the girls
hand in hers. Both were trembling.
After an instant's hesitation, she laid
her other hand in the dark, dishevelled
hair of the wild-eyed creature, who
still continued to stare at the head

Slowly the girl crept out of bed, con-
fused, bewildered, stunned.

"She will profit by experience" said
he, with some pleasure in a superior

Germany has Business

ment published here in the Gazette from
communication received in Christians
from Norwegian merchant as the re
suit of his trip through Germany.

Germany has millions of young men
serving with the colors we should thinl;
that there ought to be lack OF men in
civil business, but that is by no means
the case. Germany seems to possess un.
limited resources as far as her armies
are concerned, and the reserves by no
means consist of poor material, but for
the most part of men who already have
served their time in the army and as
yet have not been called to the front
simply because they are not yet needed,
With justified pride Germany looks

the loan is concerned, but especially be.
cause of the splendid manner in which
the payment of the amounts signed has
been secured. To introduce O morato-
RUM was not necessary for Germany,
and still there is more than sufficient
capital on hand for everyday use In
business. 1t would be folly TO make the
world believe that Germany's industry
and commerce did not suffer from the
war. Several Of the industrial branches
underwent a crisis, but the majority OF
the industries which had to suffer from
the war were assisted by the military
who placed orders with |
them for articles needed in the army. |
