CHAPTER XVI.
The Gray Wolf.

AS it chanced, Jasper Grierson was
in the act of concluding long and ap-
parently satisfactory telephone cover
sation with his agent in Duluth at the
moment when the door Of his private
room opened and his daughter en-
tered.
He hung the receiver on it's hook
and was pushing the bracketed tele-
phone set aside when Margery crossed
the room swiftly and placed an en-
velope, the counterpart Of the one lett
with Raymer, on the desk.
There is your notice to quit" she
said calmly You threw me down
and gave me the double-cross the other
day, and now I've come back at you"
Another man might have FASTENED
to meet the crisis. But the gray wolf
was Of a different mettle. He let the
envelope lie untouched until after he
had pulled out a drawer in the desk,
found his box Of cigars, and had lei
surely selected and lighted one Of the
fat black monstrosities. When he tore
the envelope across, the Photographic
print fell out, and he studied 1t care
fully for many seconds before he read
the accompanying documents. For
little time after he had tossed the
papers aside there was a silence that
bit. Then he said, slowly:
80 that's your raise, is it? Where
does the game stand right now?"
You stand to lose"
Again the biting silence; and then:
You don't think I'm fool enough to
give you back your ammunition so
that you can use it on me, do you?'
Those papers and that picture are
copies; the originals are in a sealed
envelope in Mr.. Raymer's safe If you
haven't taken your hands off Of Mr..
Raymers throat by three o'clock this
afternoon, the envelope will be
opened"
Jasper Grierson's teeth met in the
marrow Of the fat cigar. Equally with
out heat and without restraint, he
stripped her of all that was womanly,
pouring upon her flood Of foul
epithets and vile names garnished
with bitter, brutal oaths. She shrank
from the crude and savage upbraid-
ings as if the words had been hot irons
to touch the bare flesh, but at the end
of 1t she was still facing him hardly.
Calling me bad names doesn't
change anything" she pointed out, and
her tone reflected something Of his
own elemental contempt for the eu-
phemisms. You have five hours in
which to make Mr.. Raymer under
stand that you have stopped trying to
smash him. Wouldn't it be better to
begin on that? You can curse me out
any time, you know"
Jasper Grierson's rage fit, or the
mud-volcana manifestation Of it,
passed as suddenly as 1t had broken

coNscRIPTIoN COMING
Unless Men are Compelled to Serve,
England is Lost, Says Lloyd George.

unless Men are Compeneo 10 SerVo,
England is Lost, Says Lloyd. George.
David Lloyd George, minister Of
munitions in letter to one Of his
constituents, issued by the official
press bureau a few days ago, makes
an appeal to the public to give the
government fair chance to decid. the
question Of compulsory service and
reiterates his view that the situation
Is a serious one, which demands that
the country, If victory Is to fall to the
Allies, must exert its whole strength.
Mr.. Lloyd-George says:
"You say, and say rightly, that the
government ought to give the nation
lead on the question whether the
moral obligation Of every able-bodied
man to defend his country should be
converted during this war into a legal
obligation.
The government, I can assure you,
are fully alive to the necessity for
giving a definite lead. They are en-
gagged in examining the subject with
q view to coming to the right decision.
"If the figures demonstrate that we
can win through and with the volun-
tary system, it would be folly to pro-
woke a controversy in the middle Of a
world war by attempts to substitute
a totally different method. On the
other hand, If these figures demon
strate to every unprejudiced person
that the voluntary system has ex-
hausted it's utility, and nothing but
legal pressure can give us the armies
necessary to defend the honor Of Great
Britain and save Europe from the
triumph Of military despotism, I have
not yet heard Of the man who would
resist compulsion.
1T Is all a question Of ascertainable
facts. Why then all this premature
anger? The determining facts have
not yet been published. When they
have been sifted and made known,
the advocates Of one view or the other
will surely find that the whole cycles
Of fervor and ferocity have been
wasted in attacking position which
they will then discover they ought to
defend. Let the government have a
fair chance to decide.
"The opinions I have formed as to
the essential action are prompted by
the sincere persuasion that nothing
but the exertion Of our whole strength
will enable us to obtain victory, up
on which so much depends.
"The issue is the gravest any coun-
try has ever been called upon to de-
eide. Let 1t be settled in a spirit
worthy Of it's gravity. I withdraw
nothing I have said as to the serious
ness Of the position. I, for months
have called attention to the dangers
in the present war. Events along will
prove whether I have been unduly
alarmed. So far, I regret, they have
justified my apprehensions.
II should indeed be a traitor II I
did not hope fervently that the course
Of the war would prove that I have
over estimated the worst evils, but I
have not written without warrant in
facts known to the enemy as we'll as
to us-facts which I should have
thought would have already sobered
the most fatuous optimist."

generation for a short time in a small
place on the pier.

transport them safely as passengers.

cation which in his opinion has violated
certain provisions. without any oppor-

by the power thus conferred" Elder
Prescott continued, "the Postmaster
General could forever exclude from the
mails any publication, even a metropoli
tan daily. which should contain in one
issue an article which might be classed
as indecent, immoral scurrilous or
libelous,' or which reflected on any form
of religious worship practiced or held
