tails of the disaster-horrible de-
tails. The ship was a total loss of
that splendid mechanism, built by
years Of toll, by the expenditure of
many millions, there remained on
ly a twisted and useless mass of
wreckage; and in that wreckage
lay 300 Of France sailors, Small
wonder that the president sat, chin
in hand, staring straight before
him, and that the others spoke in
whispers, or not at all.
At Dion, which was reached
about the middle of the afternoon,
there was a tremendous crowd,
thronging the long platforms and
pressing against the barriers,
which threatened at every moment
to be swept away. The president
went out to say a few words to
them, but at the first sentence his
voice failed him. and he could on
ly stand and look down upon
them, conclusive sobs rising in his
throat. Suddenly a little red
legged Turco, weeping too, snatch
ed off his fez and shouted "Vive la
France!" and the cheer was taken
up and repeated and repeated, un-
til it swelled to a vast roar. As
the train rolled out of the station,
the crowd, bareheaded, was sing
ing the Marseillaise.
M. Delcasse's eyes, behind his
heavy glasses, were wet with
tears.
1T is the same people still!'' he
said, pressing the president g
hand. "They are as ready to
spring to arms as they were 100
years ago. Now, as then, they
need only to know that their coun-
try is in danger!"
His voice hau grown vibrant
with emotion, for the passion of
his life was and always had been
revenge upon Germany. He made
no effort to conceal it or to dissim-
ulate. Alsace and Lorraine were
always in his thoughts. To placate
Germany, indeed, France had once
been compelled to drive him from
the Quai d'Orsay, where, for so
many years, he had been to his
contemporaries a sort of Olympian

CHAPTER II.
FRANCE IN

10. M. IheOpnlle DelcaSSe, MIN
lister of Marine, and first states
man of the republic, slumbering
peacefully in his bed at Paris that
morning, came the sound of urgent
knocking. He sat up in bed and
rubbed the sleep from his eyes, for
he knew that not without good
cause would any one dare disturb
him at that hour. Then he stepped
to the floor, thrust his feet into a
pair of slippers, his arms into the
sleeves of a dressing robe, and
opened the door.
ga telegram, sir, marked Most
Important" said his valet, and
passed it in to him.
1t was from Vice Admiral Bel
Tue, commander at Toulon, and a
moment later M. Delcasse had
learned of the terrible disaster.
He ordered his carriage and
dressed rapidly with trembling
hands. He was shocked and dis
tressed as he had rarely been be-
fore. Would these disasters never
cease7 First the Jena, now the
Liberte-both ships the pride Of
their country, the last formidable
word in marine architecture! He
gulped down the cup of coffee
which his valet brought him,
seized hat and gloves, fastened to
his carriage, and drove straight to
the Elysee palace.
The president was already up,
and his broad face, usually so plac-
id and good humored, was con-
vulsed with grief as he greeted his
minister. He held in his hand a
telegram, which he had just
opened.
"See," he said, after the first.
moment, "the sad news is already
abroad" and he held out the mes
sage.
Delcasse took it and read it with
astonished eyes. 1t was from the
German emperor, and expressed
his grief at the catastrophe, and
his sympathy with France, which
he had directed his ambassador to
call at once in person to convey
more fully.
"The kaiser is certainly well
served!'' muttered Delcasse, read
ing the message again, his lips
twitching with emotion. There il
something ironical in this prompt
ness. He ,ruust have had the news.
before we did!"
The president nodded gloonily.
Then the other members Of the
cabinet came Whirling up, and
were convened at once by their
chief in secret session.
Not many hours later, as a re-
suit of that session, a special train
rolled out Of the Care de Lyon,
and headed away for the south,
with q clear track and right-of.

were, the president himself, the

pronouncing the theory absurd"

"Every metal except lead"
Delcasse turned this over for
some moments in his mind.
eff that had been the cause"
went on Lepine, at last, "there
would have been other explosions,
many of them - and our navy
would not have been the only one
to suffer. The whole atmosphere
is charged with such waves, of ev-
cry length and every degree of in
tensity."
"Perhaps you are right"
agreed the minister. "What was
the fourth theory?"
"The fourth theory was that
finally adopted by the board. It
was that a certain kind of powder,
known as b powder, degenerates
under heat, and becomes, in time,
extremely combustible, so that it
will sometimes explode apparently
without any exciting cause"
"In what manner was the truth
Of this theory demonstrated" de-
manded Delcasse.
"In a most convincing manner.
A certain amount of this powder,
which the board was examining,
did explode in this way, under
their very hands. Had the amount
been larger, not a member of the
board would have escaped. But,
sir, you know all this as we'll as L."
81 wish to refresh my memory"
Delcasse explained. 81 wish to see
if. your memory, which / admire
so much, agrees with mine. Now
tell me this: what was done to pre-
vent a recurrence of such an ac-
cident?"
1.-The powder in all French mag
azines was overhauled, and that
which there was any reason to
suspect was destroyed. To pre-
vent future deterioration, the
magazines Of all our battleships
were equipped with a special cool
ing apparatus. In this, we were
soon followed by all other ma
TONS"
"And yet" said Delcasse, in a
low voice, "the latest and best of
our battleships blew up this morn
ing!"
II have brought my best men
with me, as you suggested, SIR"
said Lepine. eff there were any
suspicious circumstances attend
ing this explosion, depend upon it,
they will be laid before you when
you awake!"
"sDo not wait for me to awake -
cried the minister. eff any such
circumstances comes to light, wake
me-wake me on the instant!"
Lepine bowed.
81 will do so, SIR" he prom
ised.
1t was some time past midnight
when the train reached Toulon;
but apparently no one Of her 100,-
600 inhabitants had thought of
sleep. The streets before the sta
ton were crowded from house
front to house front. The car
riage containing the president and
his ministers had the greatest diff
iculty in proceeding. Everywhere
there, were cries for vengeance,
shouts of treason, threats, wild i'm
precautions. Men stood with arms
extended cursing the heavens. The

Is A BUSINESS MAN

Suppose a farmer has a neat office
in one room of his home where he has
a desk in which he keeps his business
books and papers.
Suppose he has book or ledger in
which he keeps a careful account
with his stock and crops, and tables
to show what he owes, what is coming
to him, and what he spends and makes
ear' ear.
Suppose he uses his newspapers and
telephone to find out market prices of
farm products and has something to
sell almost every week.
Suppose he goes to his Office on
Saturday afternoon, finds in his note
book what he needs from the store,
and goes to town, buys some things,
puts some money in the bank, at.
