his bruised body with a gently inter,

she crossed to his side. But before

in of emotions so essentially per-

the house of Golden, a shadow which
gave small promise of passing away
until fate or accident ended the activ-
tiles of one Jules Legar. There was,
too. a shadow in Manley's heart, q
shadow Of doubt as to how far he
was justified In accepting Margery
Golden's words as he had accepted
them. So as he talked with her the
following day he was conscious of a
vague constraint which reminded him
there were still reservations to be re-
spected and condolences to be with
held.
This was brought keenly homo to
Manley as Wilson carried in to the
girl sitting so close to him q sealed
note which she opened and read in
silence. That this note brought a
somewhat disturbing message to her
was only too evident. And whatever
that message, it was equally evident.

again and still again. One small piece
of that paper fiuttered from her fingers
and fell half way between her and the
still frowning young secretary. He
stared down at it cautiously, almost
sullenly. Then his eyes slowly
widened, for clearly inscribed on that
scrap Of paper he saw one-half OF the
sign of the Laughing Mask.
She then walked slowly across to
the open fire and tossed into 1t the
note which she had already torn into
fragments.
Manley stood watching her as she

then called for her hat and coat. He

that silence was golden.

Won Hindenburg's Confidence.

Gen. Won Hindenburg, the chief Of
Germany's general staff, declares that
the allies cannot break the German line
in the west in thirty years, and that
meanwhile France is exhausting herself.
IF his confidence is justified, Germany
has won the war, for if the German
line in France cannot be pressed back,
the battle is q draw as it stands now.
and with the war being waged at no
point on German soil the kaiser can in
peace negotiations claim the conquest
on the strength Of the possession of
enemy territory. But it does not neces-
sarily follow from Gen. Won linden
burg's statement that the German line
is unbreakable. It is true that the ad.
vances scored in the fighting on the
Somme since July l, four months ago,
have been small in relation to the entire
French territory occupied by Germany,
and it may be further true that the
gains have grown less as time has
lapsed. It is possible that the Somme
offensive Of the allies is repetition Of
tho German failure to break through
the French line af verdun. In the case
Of the Somme offensive the climatic con-
ditions favor the Germans, a. with each

week the possibility Of effective aggres-
sive action is lessened by the approach
of winter, whereas in the German often
sive at Verdun, beginning February 21,
the climatic conditions improved as the
campaign progressed. But there Is q
distinct unlikeness between physical
conditions in the two sectors. At Yer
dun the French occupied a naturally
strong position, whereas the German
lines on the Somme have no particular
tactical advantage of terrain. Gen.
Won Hindenburg's estimate of thirty
years is evidently a hyperbole uttered
for purposes Of domestic encouragement.
If the allies have the strength to con-
tinue their drive at Verdun indefinitely
they certainly could push the German
lines back to the frontier in far less
than the time the German field marshal
suggests. By "thirty years" Gen. Won
Hindenburg practically means "never".
He plainly believes that England and
France have not the man power to con-
tinue the aggressive at the rate of the
past four months. This is altogether a
matter of relative losses, and there is
no reliable information on this score,
as each side has carefully concealed the
actual casualties suffered in the great
Somme offensive.

several years-in fact, until quite re-
cently-a bitter feeling existed between
the Wilson MARITIME faction and the
Smith -Nugent faction.
Behold the change. Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. MARITIME have parted company, and
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Nugent have buried
their differences. Mr.. Wilson's inter
ests in this campaign are largely in the
hands of Mr.. Nugent; and if Mr.. Mar
tine is defeated he and his friends will
charge the defeat to the Wilson-Nugent
ombination.
The story of the estrangement be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. MARITIME has
to do with the latter's independence in
the matter of the Panama canal tolls
and the first ship purchase bill intro
duced. In the former case Mr.. MARITIME
stood on the Baltimore platform, which
had indorsed free passage for American
coastwise ships through the canal, and
in the latter case he stood on the propo-
sition that democracy is opposed to state
socialism in all phases. In the former
case Mr.. Wilson defeated him; in the
latter he helped defeat Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Bryan accepts Mr.. MARITIME, but
cuts Mr.. Taggart. Mr.. Wilson accepts
Mr.. Taggart, but cuts Mr. MARITIME And

The Lonely MARITIME.

In special dispatch to The Star
from Newark, N. j., published Saturday,
appeared this paragraph:
"The administration is not lifting a
finger to help MARITIME. 1t did not want
him nominated and when he beat Wes-
colt, its candidate, at the primaries, it
apparently abandoned him to his fate
MARITIME is running his own campaign
and making poor job of it. MARITIME
blames the Presidents political ad-
visers for his present lonely position.
He says they left no loophole through
which to crawl in case of my renomina-
tion, which happened contrary to their
preconceived notions MARITIME makes
no secret of his belief that the admin
istration is treating him harshly, but
he still insists that it would be "a ca
3amity to defeat Wilson at the present
time"
Presumably, the anti-Martine demo-
crats-at any rate, the EXTREMIST among
them-will vote for the republican can
didate, Mr.. Frelinghuysen, an excellent
and highly qualified man, and who will
be Of great service to the state if Mr..
Hughes becomes President. In that case
he should at once take a prominent
place in his party's senatorial counsels.
The plight Of Mr.. MARITIME is sad, and
illustrates the whirligig of politics and
factionism. He owes his Office to Mr..
Wilson, at that time Governor of New
Jersey. Although he had received his
party's Endorsement in primary, he
would probably have been defeated be-
fore the legislature if the governor had
not lent hand.
In lending his hand Gov. Wilson an
tagonized the Smith-Nugent faction Of
the party, which wanted former Sena-
tor James Smith, jr., elected; and for
