Lieutenant Won Retzow had only
glanced mechanically at the list OF
ships which his commanding officer
had given him when he took his sub
marine out of Cuxhaven. Now, read
ing 1t, he felt his body grow rigid
with horror.
He took a letter from his pocket
one which had arrived from America
via Italy only two weeks before. It
was from Miss Lucy cambridge of
Cincinnati, o. Miss cambridge was
just an ordinary American girl. but
the only one In life for Won Retzow.
He had decided this when they met in
New York, while he was attache to
the flagship of the visiting German
squadron; and Miss Lucy, after long
elaboration, had written-well, that
to England, and possibly she would
slip over to Holland with her aunt,
and, of course, il he had leave Of
absence during this dreadful war f..
Lieutenant Won Butzow looked at
the list Of ships expected In British
waters during the week that he was
to be absent. He was to torpedo as
many of these as possible, lying on
the bottom of the sea between ex-
ploits, to gain time and remain in
safety. And at the head of the list
was the Marianne, on which Miss
cambridge was to sail.
His instructions were explicit ones.
He was to torpedo every merchant
ship within sight Of his section Of the
British seacoast. He was to think
nothing of the lives of those aboard.
He was to dive as soon as he had
launched his missile upon it's dead
ly path, and to withdraw, leaving
the luckless passengers and crew to
perish.
The Marianne was due to arrive
off the Scilly coast in few hours.
Lieutenant Won Retzow. standing at

View.

the wheel, felt the sweat pour down
his face. He stared out miserably
across the waters.
To send the woman he loved to
death among those waves seemed the
act of devil. Yet that was his duty,
and he must carry 1t out or-return
with his task unaccomplished, to face
disgrace and ruin.
He lay in wait just out OF view of
the Settles, dipping, rising again, or
floating almost submerged, with peri
scope above the waters, searching for
the doomed passenger vessel. She
was due to sight the Settles at about
four in the afternoon, and precisely
at four he saw the line of smoke upon
the horizon, and, through his glasses,
the two tunnels of the Abercromby
line.
He shouted down the engine tube
and ran awash toward the ship. No
other craft was upon the sea; every
one had scurried into security, in fear
of the raids.
The Marianne was now clearly
in view, listing little as she rolled
in the troughs. Evidently the pres
ence of the submarine was entirely un-
suspected by. her as she made her
way slowly toward the Cornish coast.
1t was the bitterness of death for
Won Retzow. During the few minutes
in which the periscope crept up to-
ward the Marianne he lived over
again those days In America, when he
had begun to realize his love for Lucy,
her dawning love for him. Duty had
carried him away, but he had written
to her at last, unable to postpone
learning of his fate. He believed she
'cared for him; he had felt sure that
she was coming to Europe In the ex-
pectation of meeting him.
He had written to her once: IL
would give my life for you. Your life
is ever sacred to me-will ever be-"
And now, like a cowardly murderer,
he was creeping up on the track Of
the vessel that carried her, resolved
to sink her, murder his sweetheart
coldly, deliberately. There could be
no chance Of rescue out of the trough
OF the Atlantic pillows.
THE torpedo is In the launching
tube, sir!' called up his aide from
below.
Won Retzow trembled; he could not
gather voice to answer. He was not
more than half mile from the
Marianne now; she was almost
broadside on, and the submarine had
Unanswered herself so that her nose
pointed due along the course that the
torpedo must take to strike.

part of every member of the Hive.
Mrs. Hurd feels that she has earned
and needs rest, that being the sole
reason for her resignation, and she will
have, we are sure, not only the thanks
but the sincerest good wishes of every
member of the order she has served so
long and faithfully.
1t is mighty good thing and
mighty important thing for village to
have a man of such prominence as
Superintendent of Public instruction
Fred l.. Keller say such complimentary
things about it as did the latter on the
occasion of his recent visit to Clio. He
complimented our town on its brick
pavement, which very few villages
have, and on its Auditorium, of which
he said he had not seen its equal in the
state in town of similar size. Now
we are going to have some beautiful
street lamps. with sixteen inch globes,
that will give our business steeets an
attractive appearance after nightfall.
The business section has heretofore
been very poorly lighted and this i'm
provement, we believe, will be appre-
ciated by everyone. A reputation for
having such conveniences adds to
towns prestige as trading center and
to its desirability as place of resi-
dence; it makes it seem desirable for
business enterprises that are seeking
live place to locate in, in a word, it
means the life of the town. And life is
what we want as a matter of self pre-
servation, because in this highly COM
petitive age no town can stand still, it
must grow in life or grow toward
death.

probability that there are regions In
the universe where no organic life ex-

animal creatures. The astronomical
view OF the universe Is that 1t con-

some just condensing into stars
(suns) of every magnitude and order;
shaped into finished solar bodies sur
rounded by dependent planets; some
forming stars that perhaps have no
planets and will have none; some con-
stituting suns that are already aging,
and will soon lose their radiant en-
