CHAPTER. u.
Ten Years Later.

'S' Coto @ohC'.
His Excellency the chief of staff of
the Grays was seldom in his office. His
Excellency had years, rank, prestige.
The breast OF his uniform sagged with
the weight of his decorations. He ap-
peared for the army at great func-
tions; his picture was in the shop
windows. Hedworth Westerling. the
new vice-chief of staff. was content
with this arrangement His years
honor. This was for fgurehead, while
he had the power.
His appointment to the stan ten
years ago had given him the field he
wanted. the capital itself, for the play
Of his abilities. His vital energy, his
impressive personality, his gift for
counting the influences that counted,
whether mans or woman's, his astute
readiness in STOPPING to some meas
ures that were in keeping with the
times but not with army precedent.
had won for him the goal Of his ambi-
ton. He had passed over the heads OF
older men. whom many thought his
betters. rather ruthlessly. Those who
would serve Loyalty he drew around
him; those who were bitter he crowd
ed out of his way
In the adjoining room. occupied by
Westerling. the walls we're hung with
the silhouettes OF infantrymen. such
as you see at maneuvers. in different
positions Of firing. crouching in shall
low trenches. standing in deep
trenches. or lying fat on the stomach
on level earth. Another silhouette.
that OF. an infantryman running. was
peppered with white points in arms
and legs and parts of the body that
were not vital. to show in how many
places man may be hit with small
caIiber bullet and still survive.
In this day Of universal European
conception, If Westerling were to win
in war it would be with five millions
five hundred thousand more than when
he faced young Brown officer over
the wreck Of an aeroplane-including
the reserves: each man running firing,
crouching, as was the figure on the
wall. and trying to give more of the
white points that peppered the sill
houette than he received.
Now Turcas, the assistant vice-chief
OF staff, and Bouchard, chief of the di-
vision OF intelligence. standing on
either side of Westerlings deck. await
cd his decisions on certain matters
which they had brought to his atten-
ton. Both were older than Wester-
ling, Turcas by ten and Bouchard by
fifteen years.
Turcas had been strongly urged in
inner army circles for the place that
Westerling had won, but his manner
and his ability TO court influence we're
against him. A lath OF man and stiff
as lath. pale. with thin. tightly-drawn
lips, quiet, steel-gray eyes, tracery of
blue veins showing on his full temples,
he suggested the ascetic no less than
the soldier. while his incisive brevity
of speech, favored now and then with
| pungent humor, without any infection
In his dry voice, was in keeping with
his appearance. He arrived with the
clerks in the morning and frequently
remained after they we're gone As a
master of detail Westerling regarded
him as an invaluable assistant, with
certain limitations, which were those
Of the pigeonhole and the treadmill

him to be a wheel-horsa He had never

fatty refuses to obey the recon-
mendations of the common council
and enter into contract with George
Cooke for the construction OF a
temporary wooden and steel bridge
to Belle Isle. The commissioner
sent lengthy comm unication TO the
common council, Tuesday night, CIV
Ing Ave reasons why he refused to
make the contract, and also quoting
court decisions to show that he has
authority 30 to act.
The commissioner insists that the
preliminary proceedings on the tenn
porary bridge plan were not proper,
and that . contract with Cooke
would be illegal. He POINTS out that
Cooke did not bid On the same plan
as the others and did not comply
with the advertisement. which asked
bids for the repair OF the old bridge.
The Cooke plan contcmplates the
construction OF temporary bridge
on wooden piles, so feet west OF the
present piers. Another reason given
by the commissioner why he should
not enter into the contract is that
the plans were not prepared by the
commissioner Of public works. and
approved by the common council. as
provided In the city charter. Also.
the charter provision for competi-
tive bidding was not followed, &C
cording TO the commissioner
The proponents Of the temporary
bridge plan were nonplussed by the
commissioners unexpected action.
which means still further delay in
re-establishing communication with
