happy reflections, and in the harrowing
ordeal of attempting TO readjust herself to
the knowledge that Larry Divine. her life
long friend was the instigator of the afro
oious villainy that had been perpetrated
against her and her father. She found II
almost equally difficult to believe that Mr..
Theriere was so much more slnned against
than SHINING as he woutd have had her
believe.
And yet. did not his story sound even
more plausible than that Of Divine, whose
she had accepted before Theriere had made
II possible for her to know the TRUTH
Why, then, was It 80 difficult for her to
believe the Frenchman7
She could not say, but in the inmost
recesses of her heart she knew that she
mlstrusted and feared the man.
As she stood leaning against the rail,
buried deep in thought, Billy Byrne passed
close behind her. At sight of her sneer
curled his lip How he hated her Not
that she had ever done anything to harm
him, but rather because she represented
TO him in concrete form all that he had
learned to detest since early childhood.
Her soft white skin, her shapely hands
and well-cared-for nails, her trim figure
and perfectly fitting suit, all taunted him
with their superiority over him and his
kind. He knew that she looked down upon
him as an inferior being. She was of the
class that addressed those in his walk OF

The intentness Of his gaze upon her back
had the effect so often noted by the OBJ
servant, and, suddenly aroused from the
lethargy of her misery, the girl swung
around TO meet the mans eyes squarely
upon her. Instantly she recognized him a.
the brute who had killed Billy Mallory. II
there had been hate in the muckers eyes
as he looked at the girl. It was as nothing
by comparison with tho loathing and dis
gust which sprang to hers as they rested
upon his sullen face.
So deep was her feeling of contempt for
this man that the sudden appearance of
him before her startled single exclama-
tlon from her.
Coward" came the single word, in
voluntarily. from her lips
The mans scowl deepened menacingly.
He took threatening step toward her.
''Wot's dat?' he growled. Don't get

her.

A PRIVATE MEETING.

TNEIE MUCiER had looked to see the girl
i cover before his threatened blow-that
would have been ample atonement for her
insult, and would have appealed greatly to
his Kelly-Gang sense of humor.
Many time had he threatened women
thus. for the keen enjoyment of hearing
their screams of fright and seeing them
turn and flee in terror. When they had
held their ground and opposed him, ms some
upon the West Sido had felt sufficiently
muscular TO do, the mucker had not hesl-
tated to hand them one"
Thus only might man uphold his repu-
tation for bravery in the vicinity OF Grand
avenue.
He had expected this girl Of the efrete
and cffeminate upper class to swoon with
terror before him: but, TO his intense aston
ishmcnt, she but stood erect and brave be-
fore him. her head high held, her eyes cold
and level, and unafrald.
And then she spoke again.
Coward :" she said
Billy almost struck her; but something
held his hand. What, no could not under

slender girl?

his attitude was the moss apparent. The

The ambassador did state to
Secretary Lansing that while un-
der no circumstances could Ger
many give up the submarine war
fare because ii was being used in
retaliation for Great Britian s
food blockade, his country would
attempt TO use the submersibles
IN accordance with International
law and Germany's assurances to
the United States. He added that
IN any case where instructions to
the submarine commanders were
violated reparation would be
made in accordance with asuranc-
es given in the Arabic, Lusitania
and other eases. Secretary Lans-
ing told the ambassador ne would
see him again in a few days.
When the ambassador learned
of arrangements for tomorrow IS
joint session Of congress he ap-
parenfly was as much surprised
as the remainder of the officials.
Optimistic throughout, even
when the diplomatic negotiations
seemed in tight corners and the
much discussed break appeared
to be imminent, the ambassador
remained unshaken to-
night that friendly relations be-
tween his country and the United
States would continue. He ex-
pressed his opinion that every
thing would come out alright in
the end.
Administration officials reflect
ed President Wilson 5 determina-
tiOn to have an ending TO diplo-
matte negotiations which they feel
have brought only promises which
have been unfulfilled and assur-
ances which have turned out to be
of disputed meaning.
Until today s cabinet meeting
statements were semi-officially
authorized to the effect that a
communication TO Germany was
being prepared which would be
in a nature of an ultimatum, re-
citing long list of distinctions
of vessels in violation of Ger
pledges.
The repeated declaration that
the president would lay the entire
before congress before
breaking relations was pointed
out in support of the belief that
after presenting the ease to con-
gress a communication win be
sent solemnly warning Germany
that more violations of her pledg-
Is can have only one result.
Complications between the Uni
ed States and Germany began
piling up from the moment the
submarine war zone was declared
around the British isles. With
