The Hungarian people would be

dependence would strike as soon as
the Dardanelles. the Bosphorus, Ar.

into Russian hands. After the enor.

On the contrary, we, as the part

Our victory would mean lone

What will 1t mean when the cry
goes up from millions and the sol
diers of the warning nations lay
down their arms?
But frst, who will be victorious? :?
We o. the central powers believe
that our armies and our cause will
prevail. The allies believe that they
will be the victorS.
II they should be, their victory
would mean that England and Rus

the world. would control the desti-

they would upset the balance OF
power In Europe, the maintenance

Our victory. which we would owe
to our greater moral energy and bet
ter organization, would be the vic.
tory Of the lesser power, and the
maintenance Of world supremacy by
small power Is unnatural and I'm
possible.
England Is already the ruler Of
the greater part of the seas. and
she is already able to render impos-
sible the existence OF most states.

growth Of this power must mean in

Our victory would automatically

Our victory would exclude neither
England nor France from their Co

The victory OF the entente. on the
other hand. would wipe out Ger.
many from the role Of a state pos

fairs which alone would change the
political balance to the advantage OF
other European world powers. And
the balance Of power outside OF Eu-

The victory OF England and Rus

nothing, and the other girl went pout-
ingly about her business. She sput-
tered her grievance to Hilda and Jenny.
Il don't see what he could have

OF money. don't see what he wants

CHAPTER xI.
At the Roreas Club.


One crisp and moderately cold day
in January, n Saturday afternoon that
the store rules once in so often allowed
Mary Alice for her own, the doorbell
rang.
"Mary Alice, Mary Alice" called
little Dick. "The's a nawful big auto
bile out In front and It's Mr.. Willust
and he says for you TO hurry he's goin'
to take you ridin' and he says you
needn't put on your coat cause he's
got grea' big fur one for you to wear
and hurry up down"
"I thought" said the girl. as the car
slid away from the house with Mary
Alice cuddled into the low passengers
seat, well wrapped I'm furs, 81 thought
you said your father didn't want you
to use his cars"
"'Tisn't father's It's Stacey's run

"Then you're getting along better
with himY
Looks that way. I've really learned
a lot. My. how he has gone over mel
But now I'm getting so I'm rather
useful to him. He's quite pleasant,
most Of the time"
Mary Alice did not get too many au-
tomobile rides. The cold air, as they
moved swiftly through the frozen
country, bit her cheeks and made them
redder; II brought the tears to her eyes
and made them brighter. She snugged
dRgn cOntentedly and enjoyed herself
exceedingly and she liked Francib
Willett better than ever.
''This IS the life. this IS the life"
hummed Francis. and the velvety little
French engine hummed I'm unison.
