CHAPTER XVI.
MARKING Time.

Soon after dark the attack began.
Flashes from gun mouths and glow
ing sheets of flame from rifles made
ugly revelry, while the beams Of
search-lights swept hither and thither.
This kept up till shortly after mid
night, when it died down and, where
helps concert had ragged, silent dark
ness shrouded the hills. Marta knew
that Bordir was taken without having
to ask Lanstron or wait for confrma-
ton from Westerling.
She was seated in the recess of the
arbor the next morning, when she
heard the approach of those regular,
powerful steps whose character had
become as distinct to her as those
Of member of her own family. Five
against three! five against three! they
were saying to her;s while down the
pass road and the castle road ran the
stream of wounded from last nights
slaughter.
Posted in the drawing-room of the
Galland house were the congratuIa-
tons of the premier to Westerling,
who had come from the atmosphere Of
stan that accorded to him a mill
tary insight far above the analysis of
ordinary standards. But he was too
clever a man to vaunt his triumph.
He knew how to carry his honors.
He accepted success as his due, in q
matter-of-course manner that must in
spire confidence in further success.

easily, pleasantly. I'VE did tive did
tive took Bordir with loss of only
twenty thousand men!"
Only twenty thousand. Her revul-
sion at the bald statement was re-
lieved by the memory of Lanny's word
over the telephone after breakfast that
the Browns had lost only five thou
sand. Four to one was wide ratio,
she was thinking.
Then the end-then peace Is so
much nearer?" she asked.
VERY much nearer!" he answered
earnestly, as he dropped on the bench
beside her.
He stretched his arms cut on the
back of the seat and the relaxed atti-
tude, unusual with him. brought into
relief new trait Of which she had

SAVING THE VENUS OF MILO
Extraordinary Precautions Taken to
Guard Art Treasure lmpos-
sibIe to Replace.

When, during the war of 1870, the
German army drew near the French
capital, one of the first measures the
Parisians took was to place the art
treasures of the Louvre in safety. The
paintings of Raphael, Titan, Paolo,
Veronese, Rembrandt and Rubens
were carefully packed and shipped to
Brest. There they could, if necessary,
be put on shipboard and taken from
the country.
1t was not so easy to save the pieces
of marble statuary, for their weight
and fragility made them difficult to
handle; but the French determined
that the famous Venus of Milo, at
least, should not fall into the hands
OF the Prussians.
So they took her down from her ped
estal and laid her In a casket carefully
padded and wrapped. At night the
casket was taken out through a secret
door and hidden secretly in the cellar
of the police prefecture, at the end
Of certain passageway.
They walled in the casket and clev-
City gave Iu0 Wall du dppGdIdACS "a
great age and dilapidation In front
of this wall they laid number of val
liable public documents, so that if they
should happen to be found their i'm
portance would lead the discoveries
to think there was nothing else hid
den there. In front of the papers they
built another wall. Here the Venus
Of Milo remained, much to the distress
of those patriotic Parisians who did
not know where she was and supposed
that she had been stolen, through the
siege Of the city by the Germans and
through the disorders of the commune
One day the prefecture caught fire
and was pretty completely destroyed.
The distress Of those who knew that
the Venus was concealed there can
be imagined. AS soon as the FIRE was
extinguished they fastened to the sink
ing ruins and after some digging
found the casket, buried in heaps of
dirt and stones, but uninjured.
It is understood that the Venus has
gone into hiding again this year, not
to reappear until peace is restored and
Paris is free from danger of the In.

MOTHER HAD FoRESEEN IT
Sammy Was There With the Ex.
pected Break" Just as Had
Been Looked For.

Upstairs in the nursery Sammy
was receiving final instructions from
his earnest young mother as to his
behavior at the dinner party that eve
ming.
Sammy was not going to be present
during the whole of the feast. His
activities were confined to the latter
coffee-and-fruit part of it. Neverthe.
less, his mother knew from past ex-
perience that this would give her,
young hopeful ample time in which
to disgrace the family.
Remember, DEAR" she said, "Dr.
Pung Sang Haug is a Chinese gentle
man and your fathers friend He
may be dressed in way that you
will think funny, but, Sammy, you will
be a good little boy, and not stare at
him or say anything, won't you?"
Sammy vowed that he would be
model of virtue and politeness.
When the time arrived, he was ush-
cred into the dining-room, and beheld
the worthy Chinaman in all the mag
nificence of silks and pigtail. For
long time he confined, by mighty
effort, his attention to an apple, but
at last he just had to speak.
Mother" he said, in penetrating
whisper, eff the gentleman wasn't a.
friend of daddy's wouldn't he be
funny?"

ceeded. "They have passed in review.
They were simply women, witty and

meant no more to me than another.
Nothing meant anything to me except
my profession. But never forgot you.
You planted something in mind: a
memory of real companionship."
Eyes, made the prophecy that
came true!" she put in. This ought
to bring him back to himself and his
ambitions, she thought.
"Yes!" he exclaimed, his body stiff
fleming free of the back of the seat.
you realized what was in me. You
foresaw the power which was to be
mine. The fate that first brought us
together made me look you up in the
capital. Now it brings us together
here on this bench after all that has
passed in the last twenty-four hours"
She realized that he had drawn per-
ceptibly nearer. She wanted to rise
and cry out: Don't do this! Be the
chief of staff, the conqueror, crushing
three!" 1t was the conqueror whom
she wanted to trick, not man whose
earnestness was painting her deceit
blacker. Far from rising, she made no
movement at ALL only looked at her
hands and allowed him to go on, con-
scious Of the force of personality
that mastered men and armies now
warm and appealing in the full tide Of
another purpose.

riedly, wildly, to stop him from going
further, only to find that her intona-
ton was such that it was drawing him
on.

Was he testing her? Was he play
ing part Of his own to make certain
that she was not playing one? She
looked up swiftly for answer. There
was no gainsaying what she saw in
his eyes. 1t was beating into hers
with the power Of an Overwhelming
masculine passion and maturity of
intellect as his egoism admitted COM
rade to its throne. Such is ever the
way of a man In the forties when the
clock strikes for him. But who could
know better the craft OF courtship
than one OF Westerling's experience?
He was lighting for victory; to crafty
a desire.

SENATOR yARDAMAN'S
CRITICS

It's an easy matter to criticiss;
il is a much more difficult matter
to give a sensible reason for a
criticism. We have heard a few
wis s-acres discuss the position Of
Senat r Nartaaan and on the
ship purchase bill. We never
heard a single man say he had
read the bill, that he knew a
thing about it ami get u few OF
these seems to base their sole
criticism upon the fact that he
voted with some of the republic
cans in this matte. Before we
can discuss this question intelli-
gently, we must have before us
the biii and ali the facts.
There is one thing sure and
that is from the sources that are
abusing Vardaman. including the
jackson News. we are very much
inclined 10 the belief that there
must be some good in Senator
Nardamans position. As a rule
the right lies on the opposite side
Of anything such papers as that
advocates.
The people should be fully in
formed, and they will be, before
t1ey pass their judgment
Upon a matter OF this sort.
The expenditure OF more than a
h indred millions in aid of the
shipping trust. il it he that way,
is no small item. II the L. s.
Government desires to start out
on new policy OF buying ships
outright and then market our
products is one thing and the
buying and supporting a number
of trust owned ships is another
thing. Either way is big ques-
ton; there is good argument on
both sides to say the least.
The appeal of the South that
the buying of ships would mean
The shipping of all our cotton
sounds good but can we2 don't
you suppose that Rockefeller,

'ther big shipping interests would

hipnentsy How are We to know
