It has been said that the present con-
Nict is a lieutenant's war: and. therefore,
in the British forces the platoon leaders
are selected for the whole army for their
intelligence, courage and ability to lead
one of the various positions in the team
work, but they must also possess the IN
born gift of teaching others.
Each lieutenant is required to train his
little band of followers when In camp, to
care for their bodily comforts in the field,
and to lead them in battle. He is teacher.

eyes," he said, "this is what
we need, after all that raving."
Would you call it that"
asked the prince.
"Raving? Yes, it was precisely
that! The man is mad, my prince;
absolutely mad. No one but a mad
man would speak as he does-of
citizens Of the world, the brother
hood Of man, and all that folly!"
The prince drained his glass.
II fear you r right" he said,
as he set it down. Eyes, l fear you
are right, and that it is only
folly!"
"There is one thing you must
not forget" added Pachman, his
hand on the door; "since he is
mad, it is as a mailman he must be
treated!" and he led the way out
upon the deck.
Somewhere in the dim hours of
the night, Dan Webster was awak-
ened by a glare of light in his eyes.
He opened them to find that the
electric lamp beside the was stand
was burning. Peering over the
edge of his berth, he beheld a curl
Gus sight. Chevrial was sitting on
his berth, half undressed, exam
ing tenderly one of his toes, and
swearing softly to himself. He
glanced up, met Dams astonished
eyes, and laughed.
"Man is a ridiculous ANIMAL"
he said. "The feet with which he
has been provided are absurd
no doubt because they were really
intended to be hands. They are
too sensitive, too undefended.

darkness, | have injured one of my
toes, and it hurst devilishly. Par
don for awaking you, my friend.
Good night"
He turned off the light, and Dan
lay back upon his pillow, with
strange thoughts whirling in his
head.

Not Z Rlt of Use.

There was some speculation as to
whether the instrument would benefit
the old gentleman or not. One was
holding the ear trumpet, while another
was explaining It's use and showing
old Mr.. Shortcash how to hold it to his
!ear.
"Say something to him through 1t,
sBinks," said one to the other.
Now Binks had long waited for an
opportunity to reach Mr.. Shortcash's
ear SO, speaking very distinctly into
the trumpet he said:
you've not paid me that five dol
lars you owe. me yet, Mr.. Shortcash."
But the old gentleman put the In
strument down with disappointment on
his face, and they could see 1T was a
failure ven before he had time to
say:
.'That things not u bit of use to
me-"
And he sighed, but his sigh was not

CHAPTER XVIII.
THE SUBSTITUTE SENTRY.

Admiral Pachmann turned into
his berth, that night, extremely
we'll satisfied with himself, for he
was convinced that the cards were
in his hands and the game as good
as won. And what a game! For
his king, world empire; for him
self-but the admiral did not per-
nit himself to name the reward.
He knew well that he would not be.
forgotten when the moment came
for the distribution of honors.
Was not the whole plan hist Had
he not worked it out to it's minut-
est detail? Had he not carried it
through' And how adroitly, how
triumphantly! Even the emperor.
would have to acknowledge that!
Let US do the admiral Justice;
he loved his country. he was ready
at any moment to lay down his life
for her, he would have labored
just as earnestly without hope of
other reward than the sight Of her
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT but, just the
same, when the honors came, he,
was not one to refuse them! World
empire would mean governorships.
suzerainties SIS
He was lying in his berth next
morning, half doing, smiling to
himself as all this passed before
his mind in august and %glittering
procession, when there came a tap
at the door. He got up, opened it,
and a sealed note was handed in.
A glance at the other berth
showed that the prince had al
ready risen. Pachman tore open
the note and read its contents with
some establishment. 1t was from
the captain, and asked for an i'm
mediate conference on a matter of
great Importance.
Pachmann dressed hastily, and,
as he did so, considered whether
he should hunt up the prince and
summon him, also, to this confer
ence. He decided against it. He
foresaw that in this affair there
would be many things which it
would be unwise for the prince to
know-he had sat staring like an
idiot, last night, while the mad
Pole raved about love and mercy
and universal brotherhood he was
too young, too easily impressed,
too soft of heart. He had agreed
that victory must be won at any
price, but Pachmann very well
knew that he had no idea of how
terrible that price was almost GER
tain to be. No; the prince must
be kept as much as possible on the
borders Of this affair! So, having
finished dressing, the admiral
went forward alone to the cap
tain's cabin.
He found the captain sitting at
his desk, and his face was so
grave that it gave Pachmann a
little start.
He rose and greeted the admiral,
and then glanced over the latter's
shoulder, as though expecting to
see some one else.
"You did not bring the princei"
he asked.
Do you think it necessarily"
retorted Pachmann, tartly.
Hausmann hesitated.
II am not, Of course, aware Of
your relative position IN this af-
fair, he seid finally.
