CHAPTER III.
A Foe in the Household.

Brewster had hardly closed the doors
Nehnd him before Ethel Willoughby
appeared.
"Oh, Henry You surprised me" she
said.
Il came before the Others Street
man explained. because there is some
thing you must do for me at once"
About the fleet. | suppose" she
said. somewhat YEARLY. as she turned
away from him.
"How did you know" He shot the
question at her almost too quickly for
caution. But for the moment he eX-
perienced something approaching
alarm. But her answer treasured him.
Nowadays it is only of the fleet
you ask" she told him. And she re-
garded him with eyes that were pa
thetic, If not reproachful. Once it had
seemed to her that Henry Streetman
was interested in her. But of late she
had been obliged TO admit TO herself
that that interest mad quickly waned.
Her handsome caller paid no atten-
ton to the obvious complaint that lay
In Ethers answer. In the most mat
ter-of-fact fashion he proceeded
straight to the business that was up
permost in his mind.
you must learn at once from Sir
George where the ships at Spithead
are going" he announced bluntly
Find out II they sail together, or If
they will disperse-and how"
AS she faced him again there was
beseeching in her voice, her eyes, her
whole manner.
Wait, Henry, wait" she begged.
Before we go into that, tell me-
when are you going to let people know
we're married."
Streetman remembered then that he
had many-sided role TO play. And
thereupon he went up to the girl; and
taking one Of Ethers hands in his,
while he put an arm around her. he
looked down at her in a most loverlike
fashion.
"Ah, my dear! I'd let them know
now-this minute--if | only could.' he
exclaimed.
but we must announce our mar
rage at once" she said quickly.
Announce our marriage-why?"
"Georgy Wagstaff told me just n
few minutes ago that when I said |
was In Brighton friend Of hers saw
you and me together in Paris" she re-
piled in tragic tones.
you did not explain?" he asked.
'That we were on our honeymoon
No! kept my word to you. said
i was in Brighton" She looked at
him in puzzled way as he left her
then and paced the floor in a nervous
fashion.
'Of course. It's easily proved that 7
was not I'm Brighton" Ethel continued.
"Georgy seemed to think you and
j Well!-you can imagine what
she must have thought. Oh! why must
there be this secrecy? I loathe IT,"
She sank upon the settee and stared
modify at the floor--a most unhappy
picture OF a pretty bride.
Streetman reused himself and bent
over her.
"My dear! We must walt until
can arrange matters with my family"
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1916-09-08

mo! All That Is Over" She Said.
And he rose abruptly and took few
quick, restless steps about the room.
"Why-what an imaginationw he
exclaimed, forcing a laugh at last.
Really, Ethel, you're quite absurd!'
But always, before we were mar
ried, you were SO kind, so thoughtful.
You talked only OF pretty things. But
now, always it is the feet-the navy.
You seem interested only in their
plans, their secrets. Is Ii for
that you married me-"
Streetman's patience had reached
the breaking point. And at the ques-
ton he flew into a sudden rage. lie
turned face like thundercloud upon
her.
"And on my side ask why you mar.

His quick anger brought Ethel to
her feet
"But, Henry"
He waved her answer aside rs IL Ii
were not worth his listening to.
"Once, perhaps, ! thought So" he
said. talking her down like a common
brawler. "But now l hear II was

upon Il discussion of any topic-ex-
cept such as touched upon his high
office. And there he was exceedingly
! touchy.
You think, then. there will be war
between Russia and Germany
Streetman asked him eagerly He
could not do otherwise than ignore
/ Sir Georges slightly frigid reply to
! his previous question. If he felt any
resentment. he trusted TO be able to
pay off the score in his own way. later
Sir George lifted his eyebrows ever
so slightly as he glanced at Ethcis
caller.

fer not to discuss" he replied.
Pardon me, sir, but as a loyal Eng.
lishman | am naturally Interested"
And then Ethel stationed herself be.
hind the tea table
Come, Let's talk Of peace and
tea she said. 1t made her feel guilty
to sit there and hear Streetman try to
pry information out OF Sir George be-
meath his own roof. And it seemed
that the least she could do to repay
him for his many kindnesses was to
protect him as best she might from
Streetman's interchangeable curiosity.
They had no sooner taken their cups
from her when Georgy Wagstaff burst
into the room
Hello. everybody she greeted
them. Here's Guy and his mother"
Close behind her followed Mrs. Ste
phen Falconerand her good-looking son,
who was, as everybody knew. more
than devoted to Sir George Wagstaff's
vivacious daughter WED have been
here earlier" Georgy explained, but
Mrs. FaIconer and Guy had gone to
a matinee"
"Silly show the blase Guy added
in a bored drawl. The eternal tri-
angle or some such nonsense!"
Every tiresomew his mother agreed.
And so noisy! Full of shots and
pistols-and mostly about some poor
creature who'd sinned and repented."
That's the sort of play l disap-
prove of, particularly for my daugh-
ter" Sir George commented from his
place on the settee. II an siad,
Georgy, that you were not there"
"Oh, / saw it last week." said
Georgy with mischievous satisfaction.
And you ought to go, father. You'd
weep over the heroine. Frightfully
damaged lady-wasn't she, Guy"
"Oh, frghtfully!' said Guy. Com
pletely beyond repair"
II knew the minute she walked on
she wasn't a good woman. she was
so pale and circle-y, and so beautifully
dressed" Georgy explained, as she
watched her father squirm. Shocking
her respectable parent was one of
Georges favorite diversions.
you mustn't talk this silly cynl-
cism," Ethel reproved the two young
people.
Don't worryv Georgy retorted.
"Father knows I don't get that sort
of chat from my very proper COVER
ness. It's just hereditary from him.
express what he feels but doesn't
dare say"
But Sir George refused to be an
noyed by his daughters hectoring.
AT least I deserve credit for my
modosty," he observed dryly.

CHAPTER lI-continued.

''Yes. yes! or course" Streetman
agreed hastily. as If he would forestall
any patriotic exhibition. "Still, one
would like to live with the luxuries
OF life. One day shall make the
grand coup; and then to cease all
this" He broke off suddenly. for he
heard Miss Willoughby stirring on the
other side of that closed door. "Sssh.
To the door,
every good. Brewster" Mr.. Street
man said in clear. firm voice, which
he intended to carry well beyond that
closed door, "I'll wait here for Miss
Willoughby."
And then Sir Georges butler bowed
and left the room.

CHAPTER w.
Gathering Storm-Clouds.

And then Sir George Wagstaff Joined
them, with his trusted butler, Brew
ster, in his wake, bearing muffin
tray.
Ethel went gayly to meet her bene-
factor. At least, her manner was
bllthesome; but her heart was leaden.
"Hellc, Sir GEORGE she said.
"Hello, Ethelr' They were good
pals-those two. The daughter Of one
OF his oldest and dearest friends.
Ethel had always occupied a niche
all her own In Sir Georges affections.

ner. Until | can come into my own

all be arranged" And once more he
turned away from her-this time with
an air of fnality-as If there We're
really no argument against his vague
protestatlons.
"Soon? You have said that for n
month";" Ethel reminded him. you've
said 1t ever since we were married"
"Next week. them" he agreed In des-
peration. II promise! And you will
learn tonight about the heet?" he
added In the same breath.
"But Henry. If / do ask Sir George
and he tells me, isn't 1t rather shah
by thing to do then TO come to you
and"
"No. no. no-as I've often told you"
he interrupted. 1t seemed to him that
her objections We're interminable.
And under the stress of the urging
from his superiors his forbearance was
fast reaching its end. To hide his
anxiety and his irritation. he stepped
to the window and looked out.
"But Sir George trusts me-" Ethel
resumed. Streetman stihed mouth
filing German oath while he listened
to her when he answers my ques-
TONS" she continued, "he does so be-
cause he thinks I'm just idly curious.
He never dreams I'd repeat what he
says TO anyone. 1t all puts me In a
beastly position. Sir George is loyal
EnglShman, and If he thought"
Streetman would not let her finish.
He wheeled about and said sharply, to
forestall even the merest mention of
such thing as an informer-let alone
spy
"And you are loyal Englishwoman
and | am loyal torrance"
Then why do you pass yourself of
as an Englishman?"
Because il Is the wish OF my EN-.
ployers. the French secret service. 1t
is the wish of France" he declared in
a grand manner. which he intended to
carry conviction with it,
Its all quite beyond me-" she said
with a hopeless air. They had had
many such discussions. And never
yet had she been able to understand
the reasons that Streetman put forth
with unyarying glibness why should
France wish TO know about our fleet?"
All. that l do not know" he re-
piled. THE secret service gives me
their instructions. 1t is for me to fol-
low, not to question them. 1t Is my
work-my future" He drew nearer
to her. and his masterful eyes gazed
full into hers. 1T is our future,
Ethel" he cried with apparent emo
ton
But isn't France England's ally?"
she asked. II can't understand why
she should need this information"
IN times like these it is best for
each country to know all possible
about every country" he explained.
You will be doing no wrong TO Eng
land when you get me the facts
desire" He sat down beside her, and
placing his arm about her, he drew her
close to him. You viii find out to-
night about the fleet?" he pleaded
But there was something about his
persistent wheedlng that made Ethel
Willoughby-or Mrs. Streetman-sus-
picious.
II can't help feeling that there is
something behind all this-something
you are not telling me-" she said
slowly.

eminent arsenals and workshops is
urged in a report>of the House labor
committee filed with the House today
by Representative Heating of Colorado.
The report attacks the attitude of Brig.
Gen. Crozier. chief of ordnance of the
army. toward la Dor at the arsenals and
says the workmen at the Rock Island
arsenal have succeeded in defeating
Gen. Croziers attempt to introduce the
stop-watch and have demonstrated
their efficiency by producing war mu-
nitions for very much less than the
government pays contractors for the
same articles. The report says:
The workers seem almost unanimous
in opposition and an attempt to install
the system in all the government
workshops would lead to very serious
consequences"
The report adds that the only way to
RESTRAIN" Gen. CroZier from persisting
in his plan is to enact the pending bill.
