Eyes, yes! OF coursew Streetman
agreed hastily, as If he would forestall
any patriotic exhibition. "Stlll, one
would like to live with the Injuries

grand coup; and then to cease all
this" He broke or suddenly, for he
heard Miss Willoughby stirring on the

CHAPTER III.
A Foe In the Household.


Brewster had hardly closed the doors
behind him before Ethel Willoughby
appeared.
"oh, Henry! You surprised me-" she
said.
II came before the others Street
man explained, because there Is some
thing you must do for me at once"
about the fleet, l suppose" she
said, somewhat YEARLY, as she turned
away from him.
'How did you know?" He shot the
question at her almost too quickly for
caution. But for the moment he ex-
perienced something approaching
alarm. But her answer treasured him.
Nowadays 1t is only of the feet
you ask" she told him. And she re-
garded him with eyes that were pa
fthetlc, II not reproachful. Once 1t had
seemed to her that Henry Streetman
was interested In her. But of late she
had been obliged to admit to herself
that that interest had quickly waned.
Her handsome caller paid no atten-
tion to the obvious complaint that lay
In Ethel's answer. In the most mat
ter-of-fact fashion he proceeded
straight to the business that was up
permost in his mind.
'You must learn at once from Sir
George where the ships at Spithcad
are going" he announced bluntly.
"Flnd out IL they sail together, or II
they will disperse-and how"
As she faced him again there was
beseeching in her voice, her eyes, her
whole manner.
"Wait, Henry, waitw she begged.
Before we go into that, tell me-
when are you going to letpeople know
we're married?"
Streetman remembered then that he
had a many-sided role to play. And
thereupon he went up to the girl and
taking one of Ethel's hands In Dis,
while he put an arm around her, he
looked down at her in a most loverlike
fashion.
"Ah, my dearl I'd let them know
now-this minute-if only could" he
exclaimed.
"But we must announce our mar
riage at once" she said quickly.
Announce our marriage-whyT
"Georgy wagstaff told me just
few minutes ago that when said

you and me together in Paris" she re-
piled in tragic tones.

him IN a puzzled way as he left her
then and paced the floor in q nervous
fashion.
''0f course. It's easily proved that /
was not in Brighton" Ethel continued.
"Georgy seemed to think you and
I. WellI-you can imagine what
she must have thought. OIL why must
there be this secrecy? loathe It."
She sank upon the settee and stared
moodily at the floor-a most unhappy
picture Of a pretty bride.
Streetman reused himself and bent
over her.

NdouNAlAOs ?
At meeting of the Democratic state

friends of Gov. Tom c. Rye were elect

are the other two members Of tina
campaign committee. Mr.. Cox, the
vice chairman, is to have authority

The meeting of the committee was
harmonious in all respects and not q
disagreement occurred. After the
new campaign committee had been,
chosen Gov, Rye and Congressman
Mcclellan met with members and talk
ed over the plans of campaign.
Hon. A. L. Stewart of Franklin
county was chosen elector to take the
place of George E. Banks of the Third
district, who resigned on account OF
i'll health.
The communication from the Re-
publican state committee asking for a
joint debate for Hooper and Mcclellan
was referred to the campaign COM
mittee with power to act
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-09-01

upon discussion of any topic-ex-
cept such as touched upon his high
office. And there he was exceedingly
tOuchy.
"You think, then, there will be war
between Russia and GermanyT'
Streetman asked him eagerly. He
could not do otherwise than ignore
Sir Georges slightly frigld reply to
his previous question. If he felt any
resentment, he trusted to be able to
pay off the score In his own way, later.
Sir George lifted his eyebrows ever
so slightly as he glanced at Ethel's
caller.
'@That, sir. Ia a matter I should pre-
fer not to discuss" he replied.
Pardon me, sir, but as loyal Eng
lishman I am naturally interested"
And then Ethel stationed herself be-
hind the tea table.
"Come! Let's talk Of peace AMI
tea" she said. 1t made her feel guilty
to sit there and hear Streetman try to
pry information out Of Sir George be-
meath his own roof. And 1t seemed
that the least she could do to repay
him for his many kindnesses was to
protect him as best she might from
Streetman's indefatigable curiosity.
They had no sooner taken their cups
from her when Georgy Wagstaff burst
into the room.
Hello, everybody she greeted
them. Here's Guy and his mother"
Close behind her followed Mrs. Ste
phen Falconerand her good-looking son.
who was, as everybody knew, more
than devoted to Sir George Wagstaff's
vivacious daughter. WED have been

Mrs. Falconer and Guy had gone to

"Silly shown the blase Guy added
in bored drawl. 'The eternal tri-
angle or some such nonsense"
"Very tiresomew his mother agreed.
"And SO noisyl Full of shots and
pistols-and mostly about some posr
creature who'd sinned and repented."
'That's the sort Of play / disap-
prove Of, particularly for my daugh-
ter" Sir George commented from his
place on the settee. 81 am glad,
Georgy, that you were not there"
"Oh, l saw 1t last week." said
Georgy with mlschievous satisfaction.
"And you ought to go, father. You'd
weep over the heroine. Frightfully

ooh, frightfullyr said Guy. "Com-
pletely beyond repairp
II knew the minute she walked on
she wasn't good woman. She was
so pale and circle-y, and SO beautifully
dressed" Georgy explained, as she
watched her father squirm. Shocking
her respectable parent was one of
Georges favorite diversions.
"You mustn't talk this silly cynI.

people.

But Sir George refused to be an

Of Englishman. He was, on the con-
trary, not much over the height OF
Ethel herself. But he was undeniably
impressive, with his keen, gray eyes,
his fast-whitening hair, and his ex-
quisite manners. And despite the
punctilious politeness that Sir George
displayed to everybody, there was
something in his bearing that warned
one that he was no person to trife
with.

utes because I'd promised to come to

She made a pretty curtsy.

he explained in his most plausible man
ner. Until l can come into my own
again we should starye. Soon 1t will
all be arranged" And once more he
turned away from her--this time with
an air of finallty-as If there were
really no argument against his vague
protestations.
"Soon? You have said that for a
month";" Ethel reminded him. you've
said 1t ever since we were married"
"Next week, then" he agreed in des-
peration II promise! And you will
learn tonight. about the fieet?" he
added in the same breath.
"But, Henry, II do ask Sir George
and he tells me, isn't it rather a shah
by thing to do then to come to you
and"
"No, no, no--as I've often told you"
he interrupted. 1t seemed to him that
her objections were interminabe.
And under the stress of the urging
from his superiors his forbearance was
fast reaching its end. To hide his
anxiety and his irritation, he stepped
to the window and looked out.
"But Sir George trusts me-" Ethel
resumed. Streetman stifled a mouth
filling German oath while he listened
to her. when he answers my ques-
tions," she continued, "he does so be-
cause he thinks I'm just idly curious.
He never dreams I'd repeat what he
says to anyone. 1t all puts me in a
beastly position. Sir George is a loyal
Englishman, and If he thought"
Streetman would not let her finish.
He wheeled about and said sharply, to
forestall even the merest mention Of
such thing as an informer-let alone
spy
sand you are loyal Ehglishwoman
and am loyal torrance"
"Then why do you pass yourself or
as an EngllshmanT
Because 1t is the wish Of my en-
ployers, the French secret service. 1t
is the wish OF France" he declared in
grand manner, which he intended to
carry conviction with 1t.
Its all quite beyond me-" she said
with a hopeless air They had had
many such discussions. And never
yet had she been able to understand
the reasons that Streetman put forth
with unvarying glibness. why should
France wish to know about our fieetY
"Ah! that l do not know" he re-
piled. "The secret service gives me
their instructions. 1t Is for me to fol-
low, not to question them. 1t is my
work-my future" He drew nearer
to her, and his masterful eyes gazed
full into hers. 1T is our future,
Ethel!' he cried with apparent emo
ton.
But isn't France England's allyn
she asked. II can't understand why
she should need this information"
In times like these 1t is best for
each country to know all possible
about every country" he explained.
"You will be doing no wrong to Eng
land when you get me the facts
desire" He sat down beside her, and,
placing his arm about her, he drew her
close to him. "You will find out to-
night about the fleet" he pleaded.
But there was something about his
persistent wheedllng that made Ethel
Willoughby--or Mrs. Streetman-sus-
picious.
II can't help feeling that there Is
something behind all this-something
you are not telling me-" she said
slowly.
Despite his confident air, Streetman
could not easily look into her search
ing eyes. He was uncomfortable.
