 He sat up, gasping for breath, brushed the sand from his face and eyes, and as soon as his whirling wits settled a little, comprehended what had happened.
 Half buried in the debris of a mini ature landslide, he sat at the foot of the bluff. Immediately above his head a ragged break showed where the sand. held together solely by beach grass, had given way beneath the weight of the antagonists.
 A little distance from him the other man was picking himself up, apparent ly unhurt but completely surfeited. Without delay, with not even so much as a glance at Whitaker, he staggered off for few paces, then settled into a heavy, numbering trot westward along the beach. He did not wish the
 
 woman to recognize him; therefore he was putting himself out of her way. For she was approaching.
 When Whitaker caught sight of her, she was already close at hand. She had been running. Now as their glances met, hers keenly inquiring of Whitaker's still bewildered eyes, she pulled up abruptly and stood astare. He saw or fancied, something closely akin to fright and consternation in her look. The flush in her cheeks gave way to a swift pallor. The hands trembled that drew her beach cloak close about her. She seemed to make an intellectual effort to speak.
 On his part, Whitaker tried to get up. A keen twinge in his ankle, how ever, wrung an involuntary grunt from him, and with wry grimace he sank hack.
 "Oh!" cried the woman, impulsively. You're hurti' She advanced pace, solicitous and sympathetic.
 "Oh. not mucL," Whitaker replied

 lie strode forward and stood over the man, looking down at his back. It was true, as he had assumed-the fel- low was watching the woman. And his back was very like Drummonds. A little Quiver of excitement mingled with anticipative satisfaction ran through him. Now, at last the nys- tery was to be cleared up, his future relations with the pseudo-suicide de- fined and established.
 Deliberately he extended his bare foot and nudged the mans ribs.
 "Drummond .'' he said in a clear voice, decided but unaggressive.
 With an oath and what seemed a single, quick motion, the man jumped to his feet and turned to Whitaker a startled and inflamed countenance.
 What the deyil' he cried angrily. Who are you? What do you want? What dyou mean by coming round here and calling me Drummond?"
 He was no more Drummond than he was Whitaker himself.
 "For that matter" = something clicked in Whitakers brain and sub- consciously he knew that his temper was about to take the bridge-"what do you mean by spying on that lady yonder?'
 It being indisputably none of his concern, the unfairness of the question only lent it offensive force. The man made this painfully clear through the medium of an intolerable epithet and an attempt to land his right fist on Whitaker's face.
 The face, however, was elsewhere when the fist reached the point for which it had been aimed; and Whit aker closed in promptly as the fellows body followed his arm, thrown off bal ance by the momentum of the unob- structed blow.
 What followed had entered into the calculations of neither. Whitaker felt himself suddenly falling through air thick with blinding, choking cloud of dust and sand. The body of the other was simultaneously wrenched violently

 Would you like to hear about his birthday party?" Daddy asked
 Indeed we would" said both the children. So Daddy commenced.
 "Mr. Snow King was up in the sky which was looking just as If there would be regular snowstorfn--a good hard one.
 Down below he saw the Fairy Queen and the little Fairies playing in the woods.
 Hello, Fairy Queenl Hello, little Fairies he said.
 "'Why hello, Mir. Snow King they called together as they saw him look ing down at them.

 Just then it began to snow ever and ever so hard. The Snow King was coming down to the Earth for his birthday party. The little Fairies laughed and danced as the snow fell
 "Of course with the Snow King came his Children, the Snow Flakes They fell this way and that. They Jumped on the tsees and they played about on the ground.
 "rhen they played a lovely game of covering each other up with snow That is the favorite game of the Snow Flakes and of course when they play it the snow grows deeper and deepen For so much snow has to keep on fall ing.
 "The more that falls, the more they need to fall in order to cover the last lot of Snow Flakes, and the Snow King is about everywhere watching the fun.
 ''rhe Fairies played in the snow and they played game with the Snow Flakes. For as the Snow Flakes would cover each other up, the Fairies would toss up the snow with their hands and with their wands, and the Snow Flakes would have to begin all over again trying to cover up the onea which had been already covered once

BRAZIL LIKELY

WAR TO KAISER

Rio de Janeiro. April 6.-Brazil may
declare war on Germany.
Official announcement today of the
sinking of the Brazilian steamer Pa
rama, killing three Brazilian citizens,
aroused the most intense anti-German
feeling here.

declaration of war against Germany
may be made" declared Foreign Sec
retary Muller today.
EXPECTED TO SEIZE SHIPS.
1t was generally expected today that
Brazil would seize all German ships
interned in her harbors and imme-
diately proclaim hostiIities against
Germany.
There was intense anxiety today as
to how the situation would be at
fected by the presence of 100000 Ger
mans in the Brazilian state of Rio
Grande.
Information here today indicated
that Bolivia would probably follow
Brazil in declaring war on Germany.

Washington, April 6.-President
Wilson this afternoon issued a proc
lamation to the people of the coun-
try declaring a state of war exists be-
tween the United States and the i'm
perial German government.
At the same time he especially di-
rected all officers OF the United States
government, civil or military, to ex-
ercise vigilance in the discharge of
their duties incident to such a state
of war.

to the principles of liberty and JUS

and give undivided and willing sup

NO VIOLATION OF
TREATY IN SEIZURE
OF GERMAN SHIPS

Washington. April 6.-Seizure of
German ships and internment of their
crews does not come under the other
Prussian treaties between the United
States and Germany, the state de-
partment held today. On the con-
trary, the government view is that in
interning the crews, the United States
is interning men engaged in German
service-not German mer-
chants. such as the treaties hold shall
be exempt.
AS for the ships themselves, as
German government property, they
are not exempt under the treaties,
the department held.
That the government will pay for
their use after the war, is likely.
They are being confiscated or re-
QUESTIONED for the period OF the war.
II Germany torpedoes any of them en-
route abroad in American service,
that will be her own lookout, as she
will have no claim for payment.
The treaties are still in force,
though recently the state department
suggested they might be abrogated.
It is taken for granted today that
this government will begin at once
to repair the damage done to the
ships by German crews.

In every instance, marines or blue
jackets were armed, waiting and really

This signal was word that the house
had passed the war resolution.
GUNS TRAINED ON LINER.

ly on the water, just off the bow of tho
giant 'Vaterland. Her guns were
trained on the enemy sea monster.

Port Malone churned the waters of the
bay as he hastened on his early -moru-
ing enterprise. All night long he had
waited for the order to seize the ships.
His deputies-by scores-were on the
docks and piers in Hoboken, New York
and at Staten island. When the word
came, the waiting men hurried aboard.
The German sailors were ordered to
pack their belongings and were hurried
away to Ellis island. The same scenes
were enacted at other ports.
SAILORS RELEASED ON PAROLE.
In all cases the enemy sailors were
sent to the immigration stations, some

The German vessels are now subject
to use by the United States. Whether
any OF them can be put in commission

tiCns between the two countries were
