SCIENCE OF WAR Is CHANGED
Developments Of the Past Three Years
Have Rendered Obsolete Most OF
the Old Methods.

During the last three years the sci
ence of war has undergone radical
changes, rendering obsolete much
which past effort and study had es-
tablished as standard. II. H. Wind
sor writes in Popular Mechanics. Cav
airy has largely given way to infantry,
which now moves farther and faster
with animals. Machine guns have
changed with conditions of infantry
attacks. Heavy artillery at long range
now accomplishes much of what for
merly Was assigned to an infantry
charge. The difficult and always peril
GUS work Of the field spy and scout
has been left behind by the airman,
who goes forth openly and noisily,
sweeping over enemy lines at a mile
minute. On sea, it is no longer the
ship which can shoot the farthest, or
the fast cruiser which cannot be over
taken, that sinks the most enemy ships,
but the submarine whose underwater
missiles are often unseen and never
heard.
Trench warfare as practiced today
is an evolution Of the old earthwork
idea, but so changed and expanded as
to have little resemblance. 1t was
German invention, worked out to in
clude streets and alleys with main
arteries of communication from the
rear, and complete underground habi-
tations capable of housing men by
thousands. These underground rooms
are not only one but often two stories
deep, the lower level being reached by
concealed trapdoors. In the Japanese
Russian war the japanese made use Of
zigzag open trenches as a means of
approach to a fortress, but to nothing
like the extent employed now.

Through the open doorway they
heard Aline's voice In the hall.

CHAPTER XXI.

Before the wide-fiung window Of her
attic bedchamber, Sophy Gerard was
crouching with her face turned west
ward. She had abandoned all effort
to sleep. The one thought that was
beating in hHr brain was too insistent,
too clamorous. Somewhere beyond
that tangled mass of chimneys and
telegraph poles, somewhere on the 9TH
err side Of the gray haze which hung
about the myriad roofs, John and
Louise were working out their destiny,
speaking at last the naked truth to
each other.
She started suddenly back into the
room. There was a knocking at the
door, something quite different from
her landlady's summons. She wrapped
her dressing-gown around her, pulled
the curtains around the little bed on
which she had striven to rest, and
moved toward the door. She turned
the handle softly.
"Who is that?" she asked.
John almost pushed his way past
her. She closed the door with nerve
less fingers. Her eyes sought his face,
her lips were parted. She chung to che
back of the chair.
"You have seen LouiseT she ex-
claimed breathlessly.
81 have seen Louise" he answered.

She looked little helplessly around
her. Then she selected the one chair
in the tiny apartment that was likely
to hold him, and led him to 1t.
"Please sit down." she begged, "and
tell me about it. You mustn't despair

He looked around him, and for q mo-
ment he almost forgot the pain which
was gnawing at his heart. 1t was such
a simple, plainly furnished little room.
so clean. so neat, so pathetically elo-
quent of poverty. She drew closer to-
gether the curtains which concealed
the little Undiscovered bed, and came
and sat down by his side.
She clasped her hands tighter
around his arm. Her eyes sought his

But you mustn't climb down, John"
she insisted. you are so much nicer
where you are, so much too good for the
silly, ugly things. You must fight this
in your own way, fight il according TO
your own standards. You are too good

"Am too good for you. Sophy?'
She looked at him, and her whole
face seemed 10 soften. The light In
her blue eyes was sweet and wistful.

empty. "IIl just see that them sheets
is aired upstairs, sir, or that hussy
will be making eyes at Tom! -
He departed, and Stephen was left
alone. He sat and listened to the
sound of luggage being taken upstairs,
to Aline's little torrent of directions,
gOod-humOred but profuse, to the
sound of preparations in the kitchen.
In the room the tall clock licked sol

now and then fell upon the hearth.
Presently he rose to his feet. He
heard the click of the garden gate,
the sound of John and Louise return
ing. He rose and stood ready to well
come them.

Jennings fastened in to where Ste
phen was sitting alone.

coming to us? There's that French
hussy outside, and a motorcar in The
drive, and the chauffeur's asking
where he's to sleep. The woman wants
to know whether she can have the
same bedroom for her mistress as last
time! !"
Then why don't you go and see
about it, you old fool?" Stephen re-

now
I slid back the companion door, and
entered slightly In advance. The cabin
floor was ON level with the main
deck, and its glass front flooded the
interior with light. A glance revealed
everything, and stood motionless, my
breath caught in my throat, my hand
still gripping the edge of the door.
I was aware that Leayord peered in
across my shoulder, and heard his
startled lips utter one muffled exclama-
ton. It was a low-ceiled apartment,
painted white, with ports along the
sides, the only staterooms being aft.
A brlght-hued rug covered the floor,
and there were leather divans under
the ports. The table in the center was
fully set for q meal, covered with a
white cloth, and glistening bravely
with china and glass. There was food
in abundance, partially eaten, and
wineglasses half filed. I saw all these
details; I recalled them afterwards,
yet in that first instant Of horror, the
impression left upon me was merely Of
those silent, motionless figures sitting
upright in their chairs. It was grew
some sight! A great monster Of a
man faced me, his white, CHASTITY face
appearing above a shaggy gray beard,
his sightless, open eyes, staring full
into mine. A wineglass had fallen
from his opened fingers, and lay bro
ken on the deck. Indeed, everyone
had apparently died as by stroke,
retaining exactly the posture last as
sumed in life.
To the right Of the road.shouldered
giant was thin, young fellow, scarce
ly out of his teens, but with hard,
repulsive face, and at his left dark
faced man almost negro, grinned hor-
ribly, as though death had stricken
him even as he laughed. Nothing
could be more awful to look upon than
the CLEAN Of his teeth, beneath the
fantastic curl Of his mustache. There
were six altogether, five sitting upright
in swivel chairs, screwed to the deck,
or leaning forward with heads resting
on the table. The sixth, gray-haired
and partially bald, had fallen side
ways, and lay in shapeless heap on
the rug. They had the look Of sea-
men, and were roughly dressed, three
Of them plainly foreigners, one with
rings In his ears. The big man alone

saw all this In that one swift
glance. Breath had not come sobbing

crushed my arm and his voice rumbled
In my ear:

words, there Is no doubt Of that.

"There's no sign of any trouble

We sprang down on the deck, and

after us, each face expressive Of mys-
tif1cation. Vera touched my sleeve,
her eyes searching mine.
