"Yes-Mrs. varney was fairly live
OF Serious Import.

"Yes-Mrs. varney was fairly live
ly'
Would you believe it, Steele" said
Sir Ralph in a confidential tone. Il
have never seen Oswald's wife. In
fact did not know he was married
till year after the event. You have
known her for years, I understand.
Mrs. Varney was Miss
Morne-Miss Leslie Morne before she
was married, wasn't she?'
II have heard So" admitted the Of
ficer. It was now his turn to subject
the baronet to scrutiny.
Sir Ralph turned into Vetzel's. He
had no difficulty in distinguishing his
friend Erdsley at a table in a far cor
ner.
Il thought I should find you here"
he said. Il have just left that man
Steele. What is all this about your
having met him before? He says he
doesn't remember you"
A bitter sheer lent a sinister i'm
pressiveness to Erdsley's insignificant
face. II don't suppose he does. To
the best of my belief he only saw me
that once, but kept my eye on him.
Oh, he's the man all right" He eyed
his friend suspiciously. What's the
game? Why do you want to know
about him."
Honor among thieves was q senti.
mental convention to which Sir Ralph
attached no respect whatever, but he
recognized community of interest as
the basis Of all partnerships.
The game has hardly begun yet, "
he said, "but the position briefly Is
this. want to get some money out
of certain woman, and I have an
impression that she's smitten with
this chap Steele. Anything to his dis.
credit or anything that may arouse
her jealousy will therefore be of great
use to me-
us there any chance Of this wom-
ans money getting us out Of that
hole?" he inquired anxiously
Its our only chance" replied Cav
eston quietly, 80 let's hear what you
know about Steele"
Not much-nothing very damaging.
About four years ago, at Hastings, I
spoke to girl on the front. She ap-
pealed to a man for protection. It
was this big brute Steele. OF course,
l couldn't stand up against him, SO l
cleared. l came across him and the
girl SpOOnlnS. just watched EN-, ana,
to my glee, I discovered that the girl
was governess to my cousin Richards
kids.
80 I waited till Mrs. R. came down
and then quietly reported the girl to
| her. She sent for her and asked her
II she was engaged to the chap. She
| wouldn't answer any questions, and
left the house an hour after. I stroll
ed over to the station and saw the two
OF them 60 off to London together. So
we can pretty well guess what became
OF her."
Mr.. Erdsley smiled unpleasantly and
finished his absinthe.
Sir Ralph did not appear to be much
impressed by this story. There's not
much In that to his discredit, is there?'
he remarked, as though disappointed
I'VE don't know for certain whether
he did the girl any harm. What die
you say her name was?"
Leslie Morne."
Not q muscle Of the baronet's face
moved. "Ah," he said listlessly. "Evel
heard of her since?"

Buying Ethics

A Chicago news dispatch regarding the pro-
posed British loan says:
If the securities representing for
eign loan can be disposed Of in goodly
amount among investors in this coun-
try business interests, who should be
among the liberal subscribers, believe
that the influence thus created will go
q long way toward eliminating grow
ing popular hue and cry about our traf
fic in war munitions. "f
For cold blooded cynicism this line of reason
ing reaches the limit. Americans are to be hood
winked into buying the bonds of Britain. Hav-
ing bought these wildcat government securities
those among these Americans who had hereto
fore been favoring abolishing our traffic in war
munitions from ethical grounds, are expected to
become staunch supporters>of the war munitions
business. In other words their ethics will be
governed by their Investments
England evidently has not forgotten her
centuries long experience in profiting from bri-
berry. She thinks the American people can be
bribed into supporting her in this war so, canny
nation that she is, she is going to borrow money
from the American people with which to bride
them. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is.the greatest
of international sports. Only it is tough as an
American to find ones countrymen credited with
having so little horse sense by Britain as to fall
for such confidence game.

T alks With
Lovers

Some young men attempt to force
their attentions on women to whom
they take a fancy. No young man who
has any respect for himself or q girl
would continue to do such q thing.
Our attention has been called to
instances where young men, total
strangers to girls, would call them re-
peatedly over the telephone in at
tempts to make engagements with
them. In one case, the young woman
who was being tormented by the
swain without Judgment or q sense
of proprieties, recognized the voice
and walked away from the telephone,
leaving the luckless admirer holding
warm receiver to his ear.
This served him right. II similar
treatment were meted out to more
young men, they would be less bother
some.

The United States and the Next War

u There has just been published remarkable
book, THE United States and the Next War;
by George Lauferti of New York
Every page Of this book is recital of cold,
hard facts and clarion call to the American
people to arouse themselves from the lethargy
into which they have been falsely lulled by
fanatical "peace-at-any- price" advocates and
,short-sighted, pork-grabbing politicians. .
/ "The United States and the Next War" is
neither pro-Ally nor pro-German. 1t is pro-
American, and the arguments it advances tersely
and powerfully point out the necessity for prompt
preparations to adequately defend the republic
from foreign aggression.
The Palladium expects, from time to time,
in compliance with what it believes to be its duty
to that part of the American public it strives
to faithfully serve" to publish extracts from
"The United States and the Next War"
{. Today is reproduced part Of the preface to
this book, in which is summarized the existing
military situation in this country, our prepared
ness to resist foreign onslaught:
Admiral Fiske testified before congress
sional committee that to put our navy in shape
to fight an efficient enemy would take five years.
He has now been detailed to new duties.
Admiral Fletcher reported that the Atlantic
battleship fleet was short several thousand men
and officers. @':...
"Substantiating the testimony that, of all our
submarines only one was in condition for service,
in the recent manoeuvres, our entire submarine
strength came to grief in series of accidents
which can only be explained by faulty construc-
ton or inefficient handling.

due to the fact that she was too slow to keep up
with her consorts, which escaped from the pur-
suing English ships. Yet she was three knots
faster than the best armored ship in our navy.

The music and the buzz of converse

audible to all save Galveston. Varney,
an amused spectator Of the scuffle, had
seated himself beside Victor.
