WYE picked up wireless from

w shipload of homesick, seasick,

captain had taken all the precautions
usual in crossing the Atlantic after the
4th of August, 1914, and this was our
first intimation of how near we were to
New York.
The smoking-room teemed with stories,
arguments, and rumors when l came in
after dinner. Through the smoke-haze,

"This place sounds like girls school

We stopped for few words with the
first officer, and when we reached the
promenade deck the gray mantle of twi-
light was already spreading itself over the
sea. Only pink edge showed at the
western horizon, toward which the ship
steadily cut her way. AS we leaned on the
rail for an instant, Alston looked back ar,
toward the darkening eastern sky Il
"Were leaving some queer things a.

it's unusual to see an Englishman of the
well dressed, well hammered kind that
won't sit out his dinner. He'd swallow
his whisky-and-soda after he'd eaten a
little, and then he'd get up and walk out,
leaving his wife sitting there.
He liked the younger, pretty women,
and women seemed to like him; but he
never spent very much time with any one
of them. At first thought his wife was
the reason for that. He was always
watching her. If she was playing cards
in the adjoining salon he'd stop in the
middle of a sentence to make sure, ap-
parently that she was still sitting at the
same table, and then finish his talk. l
figured that she was jealous and he was
afraid of her.
Greyson and l were talking one night
the first of August, two days after l got
there. His wife was playing auction in
one salon; he and l were stand
ing in the doorway of the other.
"World politics were slightly con-
fusing just then. The only thing we
knew positively was that Austria had
the question was as to whether
Germany, Russia, England, and
# France would come in, and my man
as declared positively that England
# would. He had drunk more whisky
and-soda than usual, and his face
ri was red. He was handsome, by the
way, in a style that the school,
teacher from Hartford called "fam-
boyant," with strong features and
good blue eyes.
II tell you,' he said finally, his
voice getting louder-"we will fight
Germany. She's hated us for years,
and we've got to break her back.
"Well,' l said cheerfully, @you'll
have your hands full, old man."
His eyes were rowing around the rooms,
as usual. while he talked. Suddenly he
grew redder than ever, as if he'd seen
something or thought Of something excit-
ing. But everybody was on edge those days.
"Where are you going when you leave
this-supposing it all straightens out?'
asked.
"To Dresden for the winter" said he.
"There!' said l. "That's like you peo-
pie over here. You let on you hate each

with queer little smile, and went out
into the lobby, where Baltimore girl was
sitting. He went by his wife's table with
out look, though she raised her eyes
when he passed.
First time l ever saw Mrs. Greyson,
she was coming down the big stair
way, dressed for dinner-and corker she
was to look at. Not young-Td say
