 The blindfolded young men were relieved every thirty minutes. Julian Burrows a student with a shock of hair parted straight down the middle, relieved MT. Philips. He is a student of the University of Michigan. Young men from colleges throughout the country took turns during the long day and night in extracting capsules from the glass jar.

Every few minutes Major General L. A. Devol, delegated by Secretary Baker to guard the glass container, walked over to stir the capsules with a long wooden spoon. On the handle Of the spoon was piece of bunting, red, white and blue. General Devol stirred deeply, bringing the capsules at the bottom to the top and a few moments later sending the capsules at the top to the bottom. While this stirring process was on there was a momentary pause in the recording of the numbers.
 The photograph shows Secretary of War Baker, blindfolded drawing out the first number for the draft.

CHAPT ER XXI.

Carlotta had set the hour for meet
ing Wilson at nine, when the late dusk
Of summer had fallen; and she met
him then, smiling, a family perfumed
white figure, slim and young, with a
thrill in her voice that was only half
assumed
ITS very late" he complained.
Surely you are not going to be back
at ten"
81 have special permission to be out
late"
Good" And then, reconecting their
new situation: eve have a lot to talk
over. 1t will take time"
At the White Springs hotel they
stopped to FIJI the gasoline tank of the
car. Joe Drummond saw Wilson there,
in the sheet-iron garage alongside Of
the road. The Wilson car was in the
shadow 1t did not occur to Joe that
the white figure il the car was not
Sidney. He went rather white, and
stepped out of the zone of light. The
influence Of lie MOyne was still on
him, however, and he went on quietly
with what he was doing. But his hands
shook as he filed the radiator. He
had been an ass; LIE Aoyne was right.
He'd get away-to Cuba if he could
and start over again. He would forget
the Street and let it forget him.
The men in the garage were talking.
''I0 Schwitter's, Of course" one OF
them grunbIed.
THAT was Wilson, the surgeon in
town. He used to come here. Now
he goes on to Scbwitter's. Pretty girl
he had with him
So Max Wilson was taking Sidney to
ScIlwltter's, making her the butt Of
garage talk! The smiles Of the men
were evil. J0e's hands grew cold, his
head hot. 4 red mist spread between
him and the line Of electric lights. He
knew SchWitter's, and he knew VIII
son. When K, growing uneasy, came
out into the yard, he was IL time TO
see Joe run his car into the road and
turn it vicious1y toward Schwitter's.
CaTlotta's nearness was having Its
calculated effect on 1Iax Wilson. His
spirits rose as the engine, marking
perfect time, carried them along the
quiet roads.
