Politics Now Mean Little
Now our minds are otherwise en-
gagged. Politics" our own country
have little meaning for US by compari-
son with the issues Of life and death,
which are touching every home. The
course of your campaign has been little
regarded and still less comprehended.
This time there is as little definite feel
ing about the candidates as wagering
on the result.
The one decided hope is that in any
case the United States will be true TO
it's own precedents with regard to non
Intervention. To illustrate this let me
relate two incidents which have oddly
crossed each other during the last few
days. One incident concerns Lloyd
George and the other concerns Abra-
ham Lincoln in a way which seems to
bring your Civil War almost as near 20
us as the events OF to-day.
Lloyd Georges famous interview
in unconventional language denouncing
every sort of premature peace talk may
have shocked some Of the regular
diplomatists, but was followed by a
curious sequel. The Secretary for War
was, Of course, supported by the over
whelmlng approval Of the nation as a
whole, but the significant thing Is that
he received letters from people through
out the country who have lost sons or
relatives in the war and whose one de-
sire is that the sacrifice shall not be
waste and vain.
There is a determination deeper far
than any mood known for generations
that the war shall be fought clean out
TO thorough issue, to an absolutely
decisive victory, and that the war cloud
which darkened more and more the
whole life OF Europe for decades before
the storm burst shall be forever dis
PEELED. II any country feels this more
intensely than Britain it is France, for
France, with more and more fixed, i'm
FASHIONED aim and conviction, is fight
ing not only for peace but for definite
restitution.

than their own. had developed as best
1t could each branch of the service
approved In modern warfare. Each
had its little corps of air craft, each
its miniature navy, its submarines, its
destroyers.
Full details of all this Roleau did
not know. He knew well enough,
none the less. that escape for him lay
by water and not by land.
1t was night when he approached
the wharyes along the Grahoffen har-
Dor front. At their anchorage lay the
dim gray bulks of the few battleships
belonging to Cortislaw. At one of the
docks signs of activity attracted him.
A yacht, long, clean.lined vessel, q
thoroughbred In all details, beauti-
fully equipped and apparently we'll
manned and officered. was getting
ready to set out. Roleau looked at
1t closely. 1t bore the royal ensign.
In truth, 1t was none less than the
yacht Of royalty itself.
Good morrow, SIR" said Roleau to
the captain of the yacht, before whom
he presented himself little later. Il
see you are setting out. Would you
take passenger, one as anxious as
yourself to leave this place."
The captain looked at this intruder
for a moment with none too much
favor.
This boat is not for charter" said
he. I'VE are leaving, it is true. but
we offer no passage for the public"
Nor am under charter for the
public" rejoined Roleau calmly. II
am in high service. None the less,
am ready to pay for transportation
from this place. am careless where
you may be sailing. Ask me not too
many questions, and l will not inquire
OF you, my dear captain. why you are
now sailing with the kings yacht"
This bold chance thrust went home.
Roleau suspected now that the cap
tain was sailing under orders of his
own and for reasons of his own. The
man hesitated now.
We'll. then,p said he. at length, I'VE
have room. that Is true. But as to
refugees"
Call me no refugee!" said Roleau
firmly. Il tell you, l am on business
OF Importance. and care little where
you go, save only that you take me
hence, I can pay"
By this time Roleau was aboard.
The captain neither welcomed him
nor repulsed him. He only shrugged
his shoulders, and accepted some
coins which Roleau placed in his
hand.

CHAPTER LII.
BY Land and Sea.

In the confusion which followed the
retreat Of the Grahoffen troops upon
their own capital. Roleau found him
self swept away from the officer who
first had taken him In charge.
Roleau. not unused to scenes OF vio-
lence. had himself well In hand, and
now studied his situation calmly, find
ing 1t somewhat to,his own advantage.
He say that he now had better oppor.
tunity for escape than at any time
before.
Resolved at last, he slipped away be-
yond his guards, and made of through
the city, not to the westward toward
the plain which lay between the two
cities, but to the east where lay the
water front of Grahoifen.
The desert which lay between these
two little kingdoms ran far to the
southwark in a barren peninsula, on
either side Of which swept the blue
sea. Each kingdom, therefore, might
be said to have seaport as good as
the other. although that Of Gretzhof.
fen lay closer to the Mediterranean
proper. Nevertheless, the Grahoffen
harbor was an ample one. and here
all the tiny navy of the little kingdom
lay-beyond the aviation grounds
where the scanty corps Of that serv-
Ice sometimes held their maneuvers.

Il know the very place where that
secret is concealed. Look, we have
all the coin-and even II this half is
counterfeit. their half, the true half
though 1t be, is no more than half.
They cannot read the riddle Of their
own treasure, and yet we know it!
Who, then, has won this battle?
Riches are needful for any king. With
out the secret which we ourselves
hold, what may they hope? No, not
all is yet lost. your majesty!"
The old king turned upon him his
burning eye. Count Sachio," said
he, you have disappointed me time
and again regarding yonder coin; yet
after all. of all my noblemen, you
have been the most successful, for
surely you brought to US the secret.
That is true. At one time we had all
the coin. Long we have had half the
coin. Today We held 1t all in our pos.
session, and we still hold 1t. Bring
me- the coin. I want to examine both
halves once more with my own eyes"
1T is well. your majesty. will 20
get both halves, We will compare
them"
Count Sachio fastened to the room
where on his return from the battle
field he had changed his dusty apparel.
His tunic and trousers lay where he
had left them. Evidently his orderly
had fed.
Count Sachio took up the trousers
and thrust hand into a pocket. He
knew where he had kept the coin, in
his little leather folding portemon-
male. But hc withdrew his hand and
looked at 1t curiously. The blank look
on his face remained as he felt quick
ly in other pockets of the same gar
ment, as he searched nervously
through every pocket of the tunic
which he had discarded.

king he was in deep pallor; conster.

A silence fell upon the group.

Roleau, the Spy.

1
In all these rapid events Of the last
few hours Roleau had been left quite
to his own resources. His mistress
had slipped away from him without
his knowledge. Count Frederick was
gone, he knew not where. He guessed
rather than knew that each Of them
might be seeking the other. That
meant, according to his reasoning.
that they must be at or near the royal
palace. 1t was thither Roleau at
length turned his own footsteps.
Discovered at last through the notice
attracted by his lack Of uniform. he
was halted by an officer, who brought
him forthwith to the commander Of
the army, none less than Sachio, who
sat close to the king, watching the
progress of the battle.
General" said the officer to Sachio,
here is a man who was trying to
get through our lines. What shall we
do with him? We think perhaps he
is a spy"

he said, grimly. Il know you, yes,
well enough. We have met more than
once before now. l recall you at my
lodging, and elsewhere. What do you
here? Where is she. your mistress,
the young Americana"
"Yonder somewhere, excellency,"
said Roleau, pointing toward the pal
ace.
Take him away. lieutenant. and
keep him safe until l call for him."
1t was thus that Roleau remained
for q time unobserved. but was ulti-
mately caught In the general rout of
King Cortislaw's armies. It was night
when finally the rout ended under the
walls Of Grahoffen itself.
Cortislaw was an old man when he
had started out that day. Since morn
ing he had aged yet dozen years.
Nothing was left to him! The end
Of his LIES dream was at hand.
"Curses upon all things!" exclaimed
old Cortislaw. at last. sweeping a level

come in touch with men who show
their good fellowship and willing to do

The Dog Law is a Good One

The stray dog problem is being
solved by the enforcement Of the new
state law that compels every owner of
a dog to take out a license on each dog,
for which he pays the city $1.00. A
numbered metal tag is attached to the
licensed dogs collar which protects 1t
against the police who are busy taking
up the unlicensed CANNES that roam
the streets. Licenses to the number Of
1876 have already been taken out and
as compared with the old assessment
plan, when III dogs were assessed and
AZ paid the assessment in 1915, the
new law is proving a practical one.
