NOl lnaI! ne crleu nOafSelN.
I'm going home she ran on. I'm
going back to my little farm where |
started.
"You're running away-from me-"
81 must go, right Off
She looked around as if for Marie. 1t
was as if she We're about to start that
second.
"Where is Marie?" she asked duly.
She made for the door.
"Marjory, he called after her "Don't
do that! There is no need of that"
"Marie!" she called as she reached the
door. "Marie!'
Frantically she ran up the stairs
WAR!
A summer sky, warm and fragrant,
suddenly became dour and overcast.
Within a day thunder rolled and lightning
flashed. In a few hours men began to
gather in uniform, bearing rifles They
posted themselves about the gates of sta
tions. They increased in numbers until
they We're everywhere Trumpets sounded,
drums rolled The very air was tense.
War!
People massed in groups. The indi-
vidual no longer counted. Store-keepers,
bankers, dandies, chautfeurs, postmeu,
gardeners, hotel propretors became merely
Frenchmen. They dropped the clothes
that distinguished their caste, and became
merely men in uniform.
Foreign visitors no longer counted as
individuals They ran about in panic
stricken groups like vagrant dogs. Those
in uniform looked on indifferently, or gave
sharp orders turning them back from this
road or that, this gate or that. A chauf-
feur in uniform might turn back his mill
lionaire foreign master.
Credit money no longer counted. Banks
refused to give out gold, and the shop
keepers and hotel proprietors refused to
accept anything but gold. No one knew
what might happen, and refused to risk
\ man might brandish letter of credit
for ten thousand francs and be refused Il
glass of wine. a man with Il thousand
francs in gold was i'll a better position than
millionaire with only paper.
Monte discovered this when he hurried
to his bankers. With half million dol
lars and more to his credit at home. he
was not allowed single louis d or Some
what bcwildered, he stood on the steps
and counted the gold he happened to
have in his pockets. 1t amounted to some
