CHAPTER TX. @dN
For King and countryi

Captain Redmond was the first to
break the ensuing silence.
Good God! Then it's come at last"
he cried in a ringing voice.
"And the fleet! What OF the English
fleet?" Ethel Willoughby exclaimed, as
her quick mind turned inevitably to
that most vital factor OF Brltain's de-
Tense. 1t was pure patriotism that
prompted her question. For the mo-
ment all thought of Henry Streetman
and his constant importuning vanished
completely from her reckoning.
Sir George swept the little company
with rapid glance.
"You are all practically members OF
my family-at least l regard you as
SUCH" he said. Redmond, you are an
officer in his majesty's service-what
l say is in absolute confidence"
Larry stood stiffly ut attention.
"Of course, Sir George" he an
swered.
Then Sir George told them what
Henry Streetman would have given
his soul to know.
"Winston Churchill went to Ports
mouth this morning. The British feet
sailed this afternoon under sealed or
ders and Churchill has offered his
! resignation as first lord Of the adml-
rally"
At that terse statement Ethel VII
loughby sank slowly upon a chair. In

stroke Of genius perhaps At all
events, she saw in a fash how she
might yet serve her country in a man
ner that is granted to few women-or
even men.
Meanwhile Captain Redmond pom
dered upon Winston Churchill's pc
culiar action.
But why, Sir George-why? he
asked.
Because he had no authority from
parliament to give such orders. II

CHAPTER ViIl-Contlnued.

"Oh, it's rything-everything
she told him with a dry sob.
81 should never have gone away; or
having gone. | should never have come
back-to make you suffer like this" he
said with bitter self-reproach 1t hurt
him terribly to see her so torn by her
emotions. There, there. my dear.
Don't cry" he said, patting her arm
with the tenderness Of a woman.
"Oh. let me! Let me!' Ethel cried,
for the blessed vent Of tears had come
10 her at last. "Oh, Larry, why
couldn't it have been different?"
Faith. don't know, my dear! But
now with you and me it's only a dream
OF what might have been-and we
must forget" he comforted her
bravely.
"Forget?" she repeated brokenly.
"Well. we must try to-" he said
eve must be friends-the best friends
in the world"
I'VE can't be just-frlcnds," she told
him. she knew that their deep love
for each other would never LET them be
merely that.
1--WE must bew he persisted with the
conviction Of a man who would always
do right. 1--WE love each other too
much to be more-or less-than the
best of friends"
From the hall outside, voices came
to their ears. And Ethel had scarcely
dried her tears before their friends
had returned to claim them for the din
ner party.
Great Scottw Guy Falconer ex-
claimed as he came upon them. "Stlll
Ginning, you two? You never talk to
Inc as long as thatr' he told Georgy
Wagstaff with mild reproach
you're not so interesting as Cap
tain Redmond" she retorted with the
cruelty of insolent eighteen.
"Well, admitting that" Guy said, for
he never plunged voluntarily into an
argument with Georgy, admitting
that, I've seats for the Palace and
we've telephoned to Richmond for a
table. SO let's hurry"
81 don't think / can go, after all"
Ethel told them then. She knew that
she was in no condition for the banter
ing give and take Of dinner-table con-
versation
"Oh, Ethelr' Georgy cried in obvious
disappointment. And "Oh, Ethel! Don't
spoil the partyr Mrs. Falconer urged.
"Come on, Larryr' said Guy. by
George, you do look glum-just the
same as l did when Georgy first re-
fused me- Now I've got used to It."
While they were trying to persuade
Ethel to join them, Sir George Wag-
staff entered the room. He had heard
their voices as he was passing through
the hall on his return from his hurried
visit 70 the admiralty. And since he
had news that he knew would prove
OF great interest TO them he had
stopped on his way to his own quar-.
tiers.
by Jove, Redmond I'm glad TO see
your he cried as soon as he caught
sight OF Ole returned wanderer.
THANK you. Sir Georgei It's good
TO be back" Larry replied.
"As Britisher. you've come home
at the right moment" Sir George told
him sravtly as he shook the captains
hand.

The New Idea
In Motor Car Design

Eight cylinders. incorporated in
chassis of very light weight
this is the new idea in motor car
design, as eXemplified in the
Oldsmobilc Light Eight De Luxe,
Type A.
Every ounce of excess weight
has been eliminated, so that, de-
spite the increase in the size of
the motor, the car tips the scales
at less than $500 pounds.
This is truly an approach to the
ideal cara car which gives no
evidence of mechanical function
other than the enjoyment it ere
ates.
The motor supplies a steady
rushing stream of power, turbine
like in quality, that is impossible
OF attainment with less than eight
cylinders. Inherent balance and
light weight of reciprocating parts
engender tremendous crankshaft
speeds, with minimum vibration.
The exceptionally light weight
of the chassis, coupled with the
strong, elastic pull of the motor.
produces resiliency of action
that is most gratifying. The high
gear range of the car is unusual.
On the road, the motion of the
car Is unbroken-velvety, soft.
Perfect balance of chassis has
taken the place of weight in
smoothing out road inequalities.
The final drive is noteworthy, be-
ing of the Hotchkiss type, through
the rear springs. Lateral road
shock Is cushioned and absorbed,
