Market Ketton had seemed well
enough a few minutes ago. John had
felt healthy appetite for his midday
meal, and certain interest concerning
deal in barley upon which he was
about to engage. And now another
world had him in it's grip. He ficket
the mare with his whip, turned away
from the inn, and galloped up to- the
station, keeping pace with the train
whose whistle he had heard. Standing
outside was q local horse dealer of his
acquaintance.
''Take the mare back for me to Peak
Hall, will you, jenkins, or send one OF
your lads?" he begged. Il want to
catch this train"
The man assented with pleasure
paid to do a kindness for Strange
wey. John passed through the ticket
office to the platform, where the train
was waiting, threw open the door OF
carriage, and flung himself into a
corner seat. The whistle sounded. The
adventure of his life had begun at last.

salutations right and left with the
tradespeople, with farmers brought
into town by the market, with &C
quajptances of all sorts and .condi-
tons. More than one young woman
from the shop windows or the pave
ments ventured to smile at him, and
the few greetings he received from the
wives and daughters of his neighbors
were as gracious as they could possibly
be made. John almost smiled once, in
the act of raising his hat, as he real
lied how completely the whole charm
lof the world, for him, seemed to lie in
one woman's eyes. --. g"
At the crossways, where he should
have turned to the inn, he paused while
a motorcar passed. It contained q
woman, who was talking to her host.
She was not in the least like LOU

she was of the same world. The per-

to be an absolute vortex Of human be-
ings, all dressed in very much the
same fashion, all laughing and talking
together very much in the same note,
all criticizing every fresh group Of ar
rivals with very much the same eyes
and manner. The palm court was
crowded with little parties seated at
the various round tables, partaking
languidly Of the most indolent meal of
the day. Even the broad passageway
was full of men and women, standing
about and talking or looking for tables.
One could scarcely hear the music of
the orchestra for the babel Of voices.

CHAPTER vi.

The great French dramatist, dark,
pale-faced and corpulent, stood upon
the extreme edge of the stage, BRAN
dishing his manuscript in his hand. He
banged the palm Of his left hand with
the rolled-up manuscript and looked at
them all furiously.
"The only success I care forr he
thundered, lis an artistic success!"
"With' Miss Maurel playing your
leading part, M. Grafllot," the actor
manager declared, mot to speak Of a
company carefully selected to the best
of my judgment, think you may ven

The dramatist bowed hurriedly to
Louise. ..,...
"You recall to me a fact" he said
calamity, (which almost reconciles me
to this diabolical travesty Of some of
my lines. Proceed, then-proceedl I
will be as patient as possible"
The stage manager shouted out some
directions from his box. A gentleman
in faultless morning clothes, who
seemed to have been thoroughly enjoy
ing the interlude, suddenly adopted the
puppetlike walk of q footman. Other
actors, who had been whispering to-
gether in the wings, came back to their
places. Louise advanced alone, little
languidly, to the front Of the stage. At
the first sound of her voice M. Grail
lot. nodding his head vigorously, was
soothed.
Her speech was a long one. It
appeared that she had been arraigned
before company of her relatives, as
sembled to comment upon her mis-
deeds. She wound up with passion
ate appeal to her husband, Mr.. Miles
Faraday, who had made an unexpected
appearance. NJ. Graillot's face, as she
concluded, was wreathed in smiles.
"Ah!" he cried. "You have lifted us
all up! Now feel once more the in

They made their way down the little
passage and out into the sudden blaxe
Of the sunlit streets. Louise led John
to small car which was waiting In
the rear. ~:
1.-THE Carlton" she told the Inan, as
he arranged the rugs. "And now," she
added, turning to John, "why have you
come to London? How long are you
going to stay? What are you going to
dot And-most important OF all-in
what spirit have you come?'
John breathed little sigh of con-
tentment. II came to see you," he con-
fessed bluntly.

at him with little smile. s"How down.

She gripped his arms suddenly. She
knew well enough that she had DELHI

was look in her face almost of fear.
"Don't let us be too serious all at
once" she begged quickly. IF you

ON WAR DECLARATION

Washington, April 8. - President
Wilson this afternoon issued a proc

try declaring a state of war exists
between the United States and the
imperial German government.
At the same time he especially di-
rected all officers of the United
States government, civil or military,
to exercise vigilance in the discharge
of their duties incident to such a
state of war.
He also appealed to all American
citizens to uphold the laws of the
land and give undivided and willing
support to those measures which
may be adopted by the constitutional
authorities in prosecuting the war to
a successful issue and in obtaining
secure and just peace"

There's a place for every color,
Take, for instance, deepest black;
That's mourning-and light yellow
Is what runs up some folks backs.
Flushy pink you'll find in faces
Of our healthy U. S. tots,
And brown - that's how to do
things up,
Or it's found on stale fruit spots.
The grey applies to early dawn,
And green is natures hue.
But the best of all the lot, think,
Is the old RED, WHITE and BLUE.
