Miss Weeks stared in CONSERVATION

You wonder that can mention my

surprised when tell you that in my
eyes he is a martyr, and quite guiltless
of the crime for which he was pun

You think that?" There was real
surprise in the manner of the ques-
toner. Mrs. Scoville's brow cleared.
She was pleased at this proof that her
affairs had not yet reached the point
of general gossip.

conviction, but he never lifted the

during the utterance of these remarks,
fidgeted about at their close, with
what appeared to the speaker. a sud

months previous he had been unex-
pectedly lifted from a small paying
clerkship to what was to him posi-
tive affluence. His uncle had left him
$4,000 in cash. There was not the
trace of an evil streak in his easy
going, harmless nature, but Rodney
went mad with delight. He had new
er had more than few dollars ahead
in all his life and now he imagined
himself a CrOesus. He furnished a
fat, he hired a servant, he purchased
an automobile, he fitted out an ele-
CANT wardrobe. He became the envy
of all the youths of the town.
There were no champagne sUppers
nor reckless rioting. Rodney simply
spent his money. He distributed gen.
erously among needy friends, he gave
expensive luncheons and trips to
near summer resorts.
Quite incidentally he had learned
of the existence of the Wilson's and
the circumstances surrounding the
estate. The result has been shown.
He was quick in his convictions,
speedy to act. Two days later Rod
ney took the train for Mayville, the
little town where the Wilson's lived. =
Inquiry he made upon his arrival
emphasized his first information that.
the Wilson's were very poor and very
worthy. He saw a local attorney
through whom Wells was to transmit
the odd six thousand dollars that was
left of the legacy. Then he located
the home of the Wilson's.
It was a wretchedly old and rickety
cottage at the edge of the town, but
it had clean curtains, it's little porch
floor was white and untracked, the
flowers about well trained and
trimmed. A young girl who moved
his fancy nightly sat on the steps
reading to a patient-faced old man.

say in a hopeful, happy voice. Think
of it, dear father-twenty dollars a
month and board for both of US at
the new school post! Oh, how grate-
full we should be! Life looks all sun
shine and roses"
Twenty dollars a. month and Sc
renely happy over it! Rodney stole
from the spot. What deserving peo-
pie! What radiant faith and content
ment! All, more than ever must he
left those two to their rightful posi-
ton!
He returned to Leighton and the
money was sent to the lawyer at
MayviIle with a full explanation.
There came a wire from him the next
day: Miss Wilson refuses to take
the money from its rightful owner"
Two words only Rodney telegraphed
back: "She must" b.
Then he tried to forget his brief
experience in "The Life" He sue

sweet, glowing face of the beautiful
girl he had seen at MayVille.
He secured cheap board, he looked
for work. His old position was filed.
The only job he could find was dig
ging a drainage ditch for farmer
at the edge of the village. To dig

Rodney applied himself.
He was whistling cheerily two days
later, when, four feet down in the ex-
cavation, he looked up in surprise,

ed by the assurance contained in a
note received personally here today
by Secretary Lansing from Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador.
Neither the secretary Of state nor
the German ambassador would make
any statement. The latter was opti-
mistic, believed the new note would
completely solve the situation. Mr..
Lansing expressed no opinion. prefer
ring to consult President Wilson In

to regard the new note as offering
for the present negotiable basis. The
ambassador was with Mr.. Lansing
only few minutes during which the
latter did not express any view on
the note, assuring Count Won Bern
storff he would notify him OF the time
for the next conference after he had
studied the communication carefully.
Viewpoint Not Fully Met.
There was nothing to indicate that
the German note met entirely the
viewpoint of the United States, but
inasmuch as the American govern
ment made 1t clear to Count Won

Of the sinking Of the Arabic was alb
solutely necessary before there could
be any further negotiation or arbt-
tration Of the amount of indemnity.

that the German submarine comman-
der must have erred in assuming that
the Arabic was intent on hostile
act when going to the rescue OF the
British steamer Dunsley.
It was pointed out as significant
in German quarters that. when the
German government sent its first
note on the Arabic offering to arbi-
trate the questions Of fact in the case.
the evidence collected by the Amer

Germany Admits Error.
The prevalent view tonight was
that Germany had admitted the error
of her submarine commander, but
wished to arbitrate the extent to
which Germanf was liable under the
the circumstances. for mistake.
