ment crinkle and become natural. The
blue veins on his bullying temples were
little more pronounced, his thin fea,
lures little more pinched, but other
wise he was unchanged and he seemed
equal to another strain as heavy as
the one he had undergone.
I'VE have a new government, a new
premier" he said. "The old premier
was killed by shot from a crowd that
he was addressing from the balcony OF
the palace. After this, the capital be-
came quieter. AS we get in touch with
the divisions, we find the army in bet
ter shape than we had feared it. would
be. There Is a recovery of spirit,
owing to our being on our own soil. ("
Yes" replied Westerling, drowning
in their stares and grasping at a straw.
Only a panic, as / said. If" his
voice rising hoarsely and catching in
rage.
I'VE have new government, new
premier!" Turcas repeated, with firm,
methodical politeness. Westerling
looking from one fact to another with
filmy eyes, lowered them before Bou-
chard. There's a room ready for
Your Excellency upstairs" Turcas con-
tinued. "The orderly will show you
the way"
Now Westerling grasped the fact
that he was no longer chief Of staff.
He drew himself up in a desperate
attempt at dignity: the staff saluted
again, and, uncertainty, he followed
the orderly, with the aide and valet
still in loyal attendance.
Two figures were in the doorway:
a heavy-set market woman with q
fringe of down on her lip and a cadav-
erous. tidily dressed old man, who
might have been q superannuated
schoolmaster, with bronze cross won
in the War of forty years ago on his
breast and his eyes burning with the
youthful fire of Grandfather Fragini's.
'They got the premier in the CAPT
tai. We've come for Westerling! We
want to know what he did with our
sons! We want to know why he was
beaten!" cried the market woman.
Eyes" said the veteran. 1--WE want
him to explain his lies. Why did he
keep the truth from us? We were
ready to fight. but not to be treated
like babies. This Is the twentieth
century,"
eve want Westerling! Tell Wes-
terling to come outl" rose impatient
shouts behind the two figures in the
doorway.
"You are sure that he has one?"
whispered Turcas to Westerling's aide.
Eyes," was the choking answer
yes. 1t is better than that"-with a
glance toward the mob. II left my
own on the table,
1--WE can't save him! We shall have
to let them"
Turcas's voice was drowned by a
great roar of cries, with no word ex-
cept "Westerling" distinguishable,
that pierced every crack of the house.
A wave of movement starting from
the rear drove the veteran and the
market woman and dozen others
through the doorway toward the

"Confound these machine minds that
spring their surprises as fully execut-
ed plans!" exclaimed the premier.
Its true-Partow and the staff have
covered everything-met every argu-
ment There is nothing more for
them to say" said the foreign minister.
But what about the indemnity"
demanded the finance minister. He
was thinking of victory in the form
of piles of gold in the treasury.
This question, too, was answered.
"War has never brought prosperity"
Partow had written. Its purpose is
to destroy, and destruction can never
be construction. The conclusion OF a
war has often assured period Of
peace; and peace gave the impetus of
prosperity attributed to war. A man
is strong in what he achieves, not
through the gifts he receives or the
goods he steals. Indemnity will not
raise another blade of wheat in our
land. To take it from beaten man
will foster in him the desire to beat
his adversary in turn and recover the
amount and more. Then we shall have
the apprehension of war always in the
air, and soon another war and more
destruction. Remove the danger of a
European cataclysm, and any sum ex-
torted from the Grays becomes paltry
beside the wealth that peace will Gre
ate. An indemnity makes the purpose

sistance that of the burglar and the
looter. There is no money value to a
human life when it is your own; and
our soldiers gave their lives. Do not

minister, ut would be rather incon-

With Partow's and the stars ap-

from the premier and his cabinet. Nat

was the first to find words. 1t
