A BROAD MINDED DIPLOMAT
IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT

1t is true, as Mr.. Lansing stated
in his recent address before the
Amherst Alumni, that he is oblig-
ed "to deal with the questions OF
International law and usae, which
are arising every day in our re-
lations with other countries" This
does not mean, however, that Mr..
Lansing's decision is final. The
Secretary of State assumes the
responsibility for the actions of the
Department of State, and in con-
junction with the President deter
mines the policy of the Government
in international matters. 1t is,
however, of the greatest
Importance to the Secretary OF
State that the Counselor, who is
the second official of the Depart
ment and who in the absence OF
Mr.. Bryan is Acting Secretary.
should be, not only we'll informed
on the question that arise, but
broad minded and sober of judg-
ment in matters of policy.
The experience which Mr.: Lans
ing has had is a guarantee OF broad
mindedness, and it is safe to as
sumo that he would not have filled
with distinction the many posts
and positions he has held, if his
judgment were not sound and to
be relied upon. But more exactlng
qualities are required in Counselor
He should be diplomat as we'll

Mr.. Lansing mas associated with
diplomats both at home and

Of looking the part as well. He is

tomary for ordinary lighthouses, each

seconds along with a characteristic

be picked up by vessels when they
approach within 30 miles Of Brest, for

of the lighthouses are known, the rela.

in finding bearings, but still better, q

rlon terey, Va. Friday, Apr 2, 1915

A numter OF new ordinances,
based on the new town charter,
have been appearing in the paper
for a few issues, and it is to be
hoped that they have been care
fully read, if not preserved. A
careful study of the list will con-
vince anyone of their reasonable
ness and Importance; all are Word-
ed in the interests of law and order,
sanitation and right living.
Even though the publication OF
these ordinances was not obligatory,
it would be proper and wise, be-
cause it is equivalent to "serv'ng a
notice." and ought to put us on
our guard. 1t may be we'll TO
note the fact, too, that there Is
going to be no child's play as to
their enforcement. Hitherto the
mavor and council have been hand
icapped by having to work under
an antiquated charter, the imper-
feet character of which leftin doubt
the validity and legality of all pro-
ceedings, but working under the
broad, comprehensive charter
granted by the last legislature,
there can be no question as to
rights and powers of the town and
it's officers. That the council has
determined to enforce these sane
and reasonable laws is heartily ap
proved by the voters who put then
in power, and if any violations g
UNPUBLISHED it will doubtless be du'
to oversight and not to a policy o
favoritism or discrimination.
We have before referred to TIT
difficulties attending the govern
:: ment of a town Monterey's size
and the fact that it is too expen
sive to effec;ually and continuously
police it, renders it hard to spo'
every offence, and appeals for TIT
) cooperation of those who favo
law and order. The lax, half,
. hearted manner in which the situa
+ ton has been handled in the pas
is referred to above, not only be
cause it is due to the officers, blu
in order that law breakers may b
put on their guard. They are as
sured that the authorities mea
business.
If the ordinances published ap
pear inquisitorial or have tinge G
the "blue laws" it 81 due to thu
glasses through which they are rea
because they have no terror excep
to the evil-doer and the slothful.
We have one of the prettiest lit
tie towns in Virginia, an d it mus
be orderly and healthful as we'll a
pretty. There's no denying tn
fact that a large majority of ou
people stand for sobriety, god or
der and good morals, and tn
sooner this fact is accepted tn
better for all.
The determination of the coun-
Gil to maintain law and order, rea,
sonable sanitary measures, clean u
the waste places and protect GU
homes from disease and petty an
noyance should appeal to our prid
and better judgment, and we be
,;eve it will. No one hopes t

.fect town. but it will be Target
what the people want it to be.

to ask you about them, and now he

Indeed! That is most plausible!
But why seek for them in my rooms,
when his quarters were in quite an
other part of the palace, my dear sir?"
"As to that" replied the other with
calm effrontery, 81 cannot say. | only

me that this was the room Of course,
If there has been any mistake"
Cease, | say" exclaimed Count
Frederick, frowning now, his face
flushing. -.
He turned from Roleau to the other
intruder in his apartments. Roleau
stood dumb. The other shook his
head.
Monsieur lie Comte," said he, "the
young woman was here when | en-
tered-when this man also entered.
She passed yonder-when she had the
opportunity-and took with her one
half the coin. There lies the other on
your floor. She disappeared--we heard
a cry"
Count Frederick stopped and picked
up the object pointed out to him. 1t
was his own half of the coin-or that
which he had called his own-since he
had taken it from her
So then, he reflected. she had found
the way to his most secret hiding
place-she was on the very point of
success when this last contretemps
had interfered with her plans, A new
feeling Of admiration for her keen
ness and persistence once more came
to Count Frederick's heart. For a
moment he stood regarding half-re-
gretfully the bit of metal in his hand
Il shall not offer this trinket to
you, my friend" said he grimly to
the man Bartel. as he pocketed the
coin, for of course you were not look
ing for coins-only toilet articles-sil-

take back an excellent set of my own
to Count Sachio, with my compli-
ments. Tell him that it would seem
i'll to me that any guest of mine should
suffer risk of loss either to his person
or his property while he was beneath
my roof"
With these, singing words, which
brought color to the others face,
Count Frederick turned coolly away,
and once more faced Roleau. That
was In his face now which did not be-
speak remorselessness, revengeful-
ness. No, something softer lay in the
mans cool gray eyes.

CHAPTER XVI.
Solitary Confinement.

When Kitty in her blind impulse OF
self-preseryation sprang out of Count
Frederick's room, she did not at first
contemplate continued flight. Once
out of reach of immediate danger, she
paused, loath to leave what she had
come there to obtain, and loath also to
abandon her stout-hearted ally in his
time Of stress. She turned back,
paused just outside the door once
more AS she did SO, yet another door
opening into the hall was pushed
silently ajar-opened fully. Yet an
other man, whom never in her life
had she seen before, now stepped out.
She felt a hard hand close upon her
mouth, more than haif-stifling her
scream for help. "Silence!" she heard
his voice insist. go on ahead of me
Once more Kitty undertook to
scream, and again the firm hand
stopped her voice. 1t seemed to her
that some pungent aromatic drug
filled the car with its fumes. She
struggled less violently. Events
seemed to pass by her in a dream,
and she regarded them carelessly,
alphabetically. In short, either in part
or In whole, she had lost conscious
ness.
When at length she fully regained
her senses she was alone alone with
a terror which seemed to her more
overpowering than any she yet had
known. Instead Of her own apart
ments In her hotel, instead of the room
Of Count Frederick or the hunting
lodge of his quondam friend, Count
Sachio, she found herself surrounded
by four barren walls--in what edifice
or in what place, she could not guess.
There seemed some sort of door
yes, Tb>re was small, high, barred
window; but the latter was at such
height as to be almost beyond her
reach For the time Kitty was of the
belief that her senses must leave her
forever The sense of solitude was a
poignant torture.
How long she had thus remained
she could not tell, when at length the
close-fitting door In one side of the
four walls opened An old woman
came in. bringing some food for her
Kitty tried her in every language
which she had ever known, but got no
answer The old woman shook her
head, and after time retreated ST.
lently as she had come.
Getting no answer to her appeal for
help. Kitty sat down once more, fight
ing herself to retain her faculties, her
calm. her poise. Escape? How could
there be hope for that? For once she
was at her wits end as she looked
about her She sat moody and silent
too dazed. suffering too much, too I'M
certain in her own mind to plan intel I
ligently any course of action. She
was brought to herself somewhat by
hearing the tinkle OF some object on
the floor at her feet.

his own weapons into play, he stayed
