CHAPTER XIV.
Ethel Makes an impression.

Those German infantrymen were
Notwithstanding company to descend
upon a ppace-oving innkeeper such as
Henri Christophe. 1t was, indeed, no
wonder that he viewed them with ap-
prchension, as they stood there at pa
rade rest and stared stolidly into his
startled face 1t seemed to him that
wherever lie looked he met the, deter
mined, impersonaL almost inhuman
blue eyes of one Of those businesslike
Germans. And there was something
sinister in the very way they crowded
his hostelry Henri Christophe could
not help feeling that even so they
would crowd every house in Belgium.
TO him they seemed like l0Custs sent
by a displeased God to swarm over
the land until it should be filed to
overlooking. And always. he
told himself, there would be count
less throngs to fill the slightest gap In
.hc!r grim ranks
While Chrlstophe viewed them with
mingled alarm and amazement, a tele-
phone sergeant joined those gray
ghosts from beyond the Rhine. He
carried a gun sung over his back and
a field telephone in his hands. Placing
the instrument on one of Christophe's
tables, he proceeded to run a wire
through the doorway to the street.
"The major Is coming" he an
nounced to his friend the corporal who
Mt once commanded his men to present
arms So they stood, posed like stat
ucs, when Major Won Brenig entered,
saluted the flag, and then east quick
glance Of satisfaction about the room.
Just before him another figure had
slipped inside the door. and returned
the salute of the corporal; and now be
stood impasslyely looking on, much as
If the proceeding were merely an ev.
eryday occurrence with him. But
however unconcerned he appeared. he
was far from disinterested. However
much he appeared.at ease in his uni.
form Of fisherman captain, he felt any
thing but at home in it. There was, in
truth no uniform that suited Larry
Redmond so well as that of his own
Irish Guards.
"'rhis is good" Major Won Brenig
told his corporal. And 1t was evident
that Lieutenant Baum and Sergeant
Schmidt. who had arrived simultane.
ously with him, shared his sentiments
heartily. Can we not spend the
night here?" the major asked.
Then he proceeded to avail him
self of the aids that the foresight of
the general staff had long ago devised
FOR just such an emergency.

nent men of the country, 1t Is pro-
posed to form national organization

The bill provides that the reclama-
zion camp commission would be ap-
pointed by the preside emit. through the
secretary Of war The commission
would decide upon the location OF the
reclamation camps. and their equip
