In high feather Lanyard was making
his way down to a door at the rear of
the house which gave upon the gar
denim his new social status Of gov
ernmental protege disdaining any such
a commonplace avenue as the conser-
vatory window whose fastening he had
forced on entering. And, boldly I'M
boiling the door, he ran out into the
night to rejoin his beloved, like new
man walking to new life.
But she was no more there-the
bench was vacant, the garden desert
ed, the gateway yawning to the street.
With the low, curt cry Of one stag
gered by brutal blow from a trusted
hand, Lanyard turned from the bench
and stumbled out of the garden and to
the junction with the cross street. But
nowhere in the compass of their per-
spectives could he see anything that
moved.
After some time he returned to the
garden and CHARTERED it with the thor
oughness Of a pointer beating a covert.
But he did this hopelessly, bitterly
aware that the outcome would be pre-
cisely what it eventually was-that
is to say. nothing.
He was kneeling beside the bench
scrutinizing the turf round about with
microscopic attention by aid Of his
f1ash-lamp, seeking some sign Of strug-

Already, indeed, he had complied
with the police regulations, received
permission d convert his machine III.
to taxicab, and arranged to have the
clock installed.
Leaving his car before noon at chs
designated depot, he received the prom
Use that it would be ready for him al
four o'clock. Returning at that hour
he learned that it couldn't be ready be-
fore six. Facing YEARLY two hours
with nothing to do, and too bored and
restless to vile them away In cafe

the black melancholy depressing him
whether or not he were recognized.
In the course OF his wanderings he
found himself turning from TIE RuA
ST. Honore through the Place Ven
dome to the Rue dc Ia PAX.
Before one corner window Lanyard
paused involuntariJy.
In that window there was a mirror
set at an angle to one side, and sud.
denly Lanyard caught it's presentmeni
Of himself-a gaunt and hungry appart
ton, with a wolfish air he had never
worn when rejoicing in the sobriquel
of wolf, his eyes staring with preda,
cious luster.
And lest some passer-by be struck
by this betrayal, he turned and moved
on hastily.
Halfway across the Boulevard deG
Capucines, to the east OF the Opera, he
leaped for his life from a murderous
minded taxicab, found himself tempo
rarily maroOned upon one of those
isles Of safety which the Partisan
calls "thank-Gods," and stood waiting
until an opening should offer in the
congestion OF LrdHlc anu permit n1m
to gain the farther sidewalk.
Presently the policeman in the mid.

little white wand, and the stream OF
east-bound vehicles checked and be.

crossing, upon which they en-.
croached jealousy. A taxicab on the
outside, next the island, overshot the
mark, and, oSedient to curt word
from the sergent, pulled up sharply
and began to back into place. Before
Lanyard could move round it, iN
window had drawn opposite him and
he was staring in, transfxed by a can

They had to walk as far az the
Place de Trocadero before Lanyard
found cab, which be later dismissed
at the corner OF the Faubourg st. Ger
main.
Another brief walk brought them to
a gate in the garden wall OF resi-
dence situated at the junction Of two
quiet streets.
This, | think, ends our Partisan
wanderings," Lanyard announced. If
you'll be good enough to keep an eye
Tor busybodies-and yourself as in
conspicuous as possible in the recess
OF this doorway"
And he walked back to tho curb,
measuring the wall with his eye.
what are you going to do?"
He responded by doing it SO swiftly
that she gasped with surprise; pausing
momentarily within a yard OF the walk,
he gathered himself together, shot up
lithely into the air, caught the top
curbing with both hands, and She
heard the soft thud of his feet on the
earth Of the enclosure, and the latch
grated behind her as the door opened.
"FOr the last time" Lanyard
laughed quietly from the aperture,
permit me to invite you to break the
law by committing an act Of trespass!"
Securing the door, he led her to a
garden bench secluded amid conven-
tional shrubbery.
"Tf you'll wait here" he suggested
"Well, it will be best I'll be back as
soon as possible, though I may be de-
tanned some time. Still, inasmuch as
I'm about to break into this house, my
motives, which are most commendable,
may be misinterpreted, and I'd rather
you waited here, with tbs street at
hand. If you hear a noise like trouble
you've only to unlatch the gate. But
let's trust that my purely benevolent
intentions toward the French republic
won't be miscOnstruedm
'TH wait" she assured him bravely;
but won't you tell me"
With hand he indicated the man
sion towering above them.
I'm going to break In there to pay
an early morning call and impart some
interesting information to person Of
considerable consequence - nobody
less, In fact, than NJ. Ducroy."
And who is he?"
"The present minister of war. We
haven't as yet the pleasure of each
others acquaintance; still I think he
won't be sorry to see me. In brief,
mean TO make him present Of the
Huysman plans and bargain for safe
conduct for us both from France"
Impulsively she offered her hand
and, when he somewhat efficiently
took it, she gave his fingers a firm,
compelling pressure with her own.
BE CAREFUL" she whispered broken
~, her pale, sweet face upturned to
his. "Oh, do be careful! I am afraid
for you
And for a moment the temptation
to take her in his arms seemed strong
er than any he had ever known.
But reminding himself that he had
voluntarily stipulated for years pro-
baton, he released her hand with an
lncoherent humble, turned, and hastily
disappeared in the direction of the
house.

"It is on schedule, is 1t not, that Cap

''It cannot be DONE"

hesitated; then he shook his head def

There is no such thing, monsieur"

again, took a match from the stand
on the bedside table, and struck it..
Very calmly he advanced the fame to-
ward the cigarette containing the roll
of infammable films.

sympathetic supervision.
In brief, the advantages of profess
lonal training are as follows:
~ II would prevent failure.
w Health Is saved by such prep
arations.
t3) Unframed teachers have no
correct standards.
(4) 1t would tend to prevent cost
ly experimenting on pupils.
The means of securing professional
training are, % by a careful re-
view OF the studies taught in the pub
Ire schools from the stand point of
teaching them to others; (2) a study
OF psychology to understand correct
principles of teaching and right meth

these principles and methods in prac-
tlce work; (4) a careful study of the
history of education and the school
laws of the state; (5) a high esti-
mate of the Importance and respon-
sibllity of the teachers work.
Means of professional growth -
I'd By daily practice in teaching.
~ BY studying professional books
l5) by reading current education

(4) By visiting other schools.
(5) By attending Institutes and

The third requisite of the teachers
preparation is the study of the child

children is essential; without it one is
handicapped, for the new education
is based upon knowledge of chill

WOUNDED
SAYS HOLL VEG
Tells ReiChStag Time May
Come When Concessions to
u. S. May be Cancelled.

LONDON. May 12-What pur-
ports to he a summary Of the speech
by DIT Won -Hollweg. the
German imperial chancellor. at the
secret sitting of the general commit
tee of the reichstag on May con-
corning Germany's reply to Amer
lea. is published by the wireless
press Thursday under a Berlin date.
The wireless press states that the
following remarks by the chancellor
may be accepted as unquestionably
authentic:
Il have said before that we must
drop all sentimentality. l repeat
that With regard to our dispute
with America our self-respect was
wounded by the aggressive wording
of the American note to Germany.
our feelings urge us TO repel this
interference with our legitimate
methods of warfare and tell Amer
lea to mind her own business, but
considerations of policy compel us
to subordinate patriotic zeal to patri-
otic reason. We must he guided.
however, not by our feelings. but by
the coolest judgment.
Aim is To- Win War.
we have one aim and one duty,
namely. TO win the war; therefore.
any policy which endangers our vic
tory must he avoided The over
whelming majority Of expert opinion
regards a rupture Of relations with
America as a grave peril.
"A great mistake has been com
mitted i'm overst2ting the value of
the submarine campaign against
England. our naval experts no
longer believe in the probability of
reducing England TO starvation and
ruin by submarines. even if the war
lasts another two years 1t is true.
that these instruments can infict a
frightful amount of damage. but this
damage would be insufficient to OUT
weigh the danger TO ourselves Of
Americas hostility.
Folly to Arouse America.
1T is folly TO underestimate conse-
quences of a conflict with America.
nor should we risk only America :
enmity. our information leads us
TO believe that other neutrals might
follow Americas lead
The imperial government has
weighed every factor and is con-
WINGED of the necessity Of avoiding
a breach with America.
These are the hard facts Of the
present situation. We have worded
I a reply such as may reserve future
liberty of action. II the situation
changes we may cancel our cOnces-
sions TO America and resume unre-
stricted submarine operations. but
for the present we must overcome
our feeling and pursue the policy
most conducive TO final victory over
all our enemies
