NOT ENOUGH TEAM WORK

In 1914 Napoleon Bonaparte stood
at bay against the rest of Europe al.
most exactly as the Kaiser of Ger
many does today. Austria was
against Napoleon. but Italy was his
willing allay. The rule of Ma.
poleon's stepson, Prince Eugene. in
Italy had been virtuous and popuIar
and thousands of the best fiphtinp
men IN Italy followed Napoleon s
standards.
me difference between the posi-
tlon OF the two military monarebe
as of 1914 and 1915, was that Ma
poieon was attacked on all sides at
the same time, while Germany has
heretofore been permitted to shift
her troops back and forth across
Europe, never facing pressure at the
tame time on both boundary lines.
After the disastrous termination
of his Russian campaign of 1872
Napoleon formed his new army
around certain veteran corps with
drawn from Spain. He only ven-
tured to take from Spain one-half
the veteran troops there stationed
Had the English in Spain been con-
tent to sit down behind trenches, he
would, no doubt. have withdrawn
more troops rom Spain, but the Duke
OF Wellington began an offensive
movement the day the shifting of
troops from Spain began. The result
was that, while the fate of Europe
was hanging in the balance in the
center of Germany, the English were |

II seems that the State of Florida

the Marion Farms, located near this
city. as will be seen from the follow

SUNDAY night on the south

train through Gainesville little

the party was Hon. W. K. Knott,

to be the leading candidate for gov

the prisoners and their Dutch

The island of Urk is itself a SORT
OF geographical joke, for it is little
more than a small sandbank that
was left high and dry when the
sea drowned the central part of the
Netherlands and formed the Zuyder
Zee. Some 1900 people. however
now live on this little stretch Of
land, which the average pedestrian
may cross in ten minutes. The is
landers are extremely clannish and
stick to the dress of 200 years ago.
They amuse themselves by fishing
for herring and anchovies and in
guiding dykes against the terrors

presence of the interned French.

81 love you, Yvonne-Good God, how
love you!" he cried abruptly. His
eyes burnt with sudden fame Of pas
sion as he bent over her. His face
quivered; his whole being tingled with
the fierce spasm of an uncomfortable
desire to crush the warm, adorable
body to his breast in the supreme
ecstasy Of possession.
She surrendered herself to his pas
sionate embrace. A little later, she
withdrew herself from his arms, her
lips still quivering with the ferceness
Of his kisses. Her eyes. dark with
wonder and perplexity, regarded his
TRANSPORTED face for a long, tense
moment.
"Is this love, james," she whis-
pered. "Is this the real, true lover"

stones! UGH"
She dropped the curtains. The soft
warm glow OF the room came back and
she sighed with relief 81 hate things

At the sound of a soft tread and the
gentle rustic of draperies, they turned.
Ranjab, the Hindu, was crossing the
room toward the small door which
gave entrance to his closet. He paused
for an instant before the image of
Buddha, but did not drop to his knees
as all devout Buddhists do. Mrs.
BrOod's hand fell lightly upon Lydia's
arm The man turned toward them a
second or two later. His dark, hand
some face was hard set and emotion
less as he bowed low to the new mis-
tress of the house. The fingers closed
tightly on Lydia's arm. Then he
smiled upon the girl, a glad smile OF
devotion. His swarthy face was trans
figured. A moment later he unlocked
his door and passed into the other
room. The key turned in the lock
with a slight rasp.
81 do not like that man." said Mrs
Brood. Her voice was low and hel
eyes were fixed steadily on the closed
door.

way round. It's the way with men
past middle age"
Lydia hesitated before speaking.
''Mr. Brood does not conf1de in Fred
eric I am afraid they have but little
In common. Oh, shouldn't have said
that!"
Mrs. Brood regarded her with mar
rowing eyes. "He doesn't confide in
Frederick" she repeated, in the form
of a question. Her voice seemed
lower than before.
I'm sorry 1 spoke as I did, Mrs.
Brood" said the girl, annoyed at her
self.
"Is there a reason why he should
dislike his SOM" asked the other, re-
garding her fxedly.
"Of course not" cried poor Lydia
There was a moment Of silence.
Some day, Lydia, you will tell me
about Mr.. Brood's other wife"
"She died many years ago." said the
girl, evasively.
81 know" said Mrs. Brood. still
should like to hear more of the woman
he could not forget in all those years
until he met me-"
She grew silent and preoccupied, q
slight frown marking her forehead as
she resumed her examination of the
room and its contents.
Great lanterns hung suspended be-
side the shrine, but were now IN
lighted. On the table at which Brood
protested to work stood a huge lamp
with a lacelike screen Of gold. When
lighted a soft, mellow glow oozed
through the shade to create circle of
golden brilliance over a radius that
extended but little beyond the edge
of the table, yet reached to the benign
countenance of Buddha close by.
Over all this fairylike splendor
/ reigned the serene, melting influence
of the god to whom James Brood was
wont to confess himself! The spell
Of the golden image dominated every
thing.
In the midst of the magnifcence
moved the two women, one absurdly
out of touch with her surroundings,
yet thing Of beauty; the other blend
ing intimately with the warm tones
that enYeloped her. She was 1.-THE,
sinuous with the grace Of the most Sc

person seemed to steal out Of the IN

velous setting, gem among gems.
She had attired herself in a dull In
dian red afternoon gown of chiffon.
The very fabric seemed to cling to her
supple body with the sensuous Joy Of
contact. Even Lydia, who watched her
with appraising eyes, experienced a
swift unaccountable desire to hold this
intoxicating creature close to her own
body.
There were two windows in the
room, broad openings that ran from
near the floor almost to the edge OF
the canopy. They were so heavily cur
tanned that the light Of day failed to
penetrate to the interior Of the apart

these windows. Drawing the curtain
apart, she let in an ugly gray light,
from the outside world.
She looked down into a sort of court
yard and garden that might have been
transplanted from distant Araby. Ut

turned to Lydia.
