CHAPTER X.

A few days after Wilson's recogni-
ton of K, two most exciting things
happened to Sidney. One was that
Christine asked her to be maid OF
honor at her wedding. The other was
more wonderful. She was accepted,
and given her cap.
Z Because she could not get home that
night, and because the little house had
no telephone, she wrote the news to
her mother and sent note to lie
Moyne.
X. found the note on the hall table
when he got home that night, and car
ried it upstairs to read. Whatever
faint hope he might have had that her
youth would prevent her acceptance
he knew now was over. With the let
ter in his hand, he sat by his table
and looked ahead into the empty years.
Not quite empty, of course. She would
be coming home.
But more and more the life of the
hospital would engross her. He sur
missed, too, very shrewdly, that, had he
ever had hope that she might come
to care for him, his very presence in
the little house initiated against him.
There was none of the illusion of sep
aration; he was always there, like Ka-

''If every surgeon gave up because
he lost cases--pve just told you did
your operation today. There was just
chance for the man, and took my
courage in my hands and tried it. The
poor devils dead"
X. rose rather YEARLY and emptied
his pipe over the balcony rail.
"That's not the same. That's the
chance he and you took. What hap
pened to me was-different."
Pipe in hand, he stood staring out
at the ailanthus tree with it's crown
of stars. Instead of the Street with it's
quiet houses, he saw the men he had
known and worked with. and taught,
his friends who spoke his language,
who had loved him, many of them,
gathered about bronze tablet set in
a wall of the old college; he saw their
earnest faces and grave eyes. He

He heard the soft rustic of Sfdney's
dress as she came into the little room
behind them.

lie Moyne Is Found Out and
the Big Part of Our Story
Begins to Unfold.

SYNOPSIS-K. LeMoyne, a
young man. becomes roomer
at the Eage home, where Sidney,
her mother, Anna, and her old
maid aunt, Harriet, a dressmak-
er preside. Through the inf1u-
ence of DR.. Max Wilson, a sue
cessful young surgeon, Sidney
becomes a probationary nurse
at the hospital. Aunt Harriet
opens a fashionable shop down
town. Christine Lorenz and Pal
mer Howe are about to be mar
ried and they will take rooms at
the Pages. Sidney is loved by
K, by Joe DrummOnd, a high
school beau, and by DR.. Max,
who fascinates her. At the hos
pitaI she begins to see the I'M
derside Of the world. She meets
Charlotte Harrison, who has
been very ''thick" with DR.. Max.
X. LeMoyne Is a mystery. He
works at the gas Office as a
clerk, but his past is hidden, and
he fears to meet strangers
why? AS this installment opens,
Doctor Max is coming across the
street from his home to call on
Sidney. K. shrinks from. the in

escape.

tie. When she opened the door, she
called Mother" from the hall If
Anna did not answer, she called him,
in much the same voice.
Sidney's letter was not the only one
he received that day. When, in re-
heavily and prepared for dinner, he
found an unopened envelope on the
table. 1t was from Max Wilson:
Dear LIE Moyne-I have a feeling of deli
cacy about trying to see you again SO
soon. I'm bound to respect your Sec..u-
sion. But there are some things that have
got to be discussed.
1t takes courage to step down from the
pinnacle you stood on. So it's not cow
ardice that has set you down here. It's
wrong conception. And I've thought of
two things. The first, and best, is for you
to go back. No one has taken your place,
because no one could do the work. But
if that's out of the question-and only you
know that, for only you know the facts
the next best thing is this, and in all hui
mainly make the suggestion.
Take the State exams under your pres
ent name, and when you've got your GER
tif1cate, come in with me. This isn't mag
nanimity. II be getting much more than
l give.
Think it over, old man. M W.
1t is a curious fact that man who
is absolutely untrustworthy about
women is often the soul of honor to
other men. The younger Wilson, TAX
ing his pleasures lightly and not too
discriminatory, was making an offer
that meant his ultimate eclipse, and
doing it cheerfully, with his eyes open.
X. was moved. 1t was like Max to
make such an offer, like him to do it
as if he were asking a favor and not
conferri- = one. But the offer left him
interrupted. He had weighed himself
in the balance, and found himself
wanting. No tablet on the college wall
could change that. And when, late
that night, Wilson found him on the
balcony and added appeal to argu-
ment, the situation remained I'M
changed. He realized it's hopelessness
when K. lapsed into whimsical humor.

GERMANY'S BOSS

General Won Ludendorff, officially
chief of staff to Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, is virtually dictator of all
Germany. Ludendorff is supreme.
All the threads, not only Of military
control, but also of civil administra-
ton, food distribution, industry, agri-
culture, and even foreign relations, all
of which are subordinate to military
requirements, now run to the country
seat of the prince of Pless, where Cen
eral Won Ludendorff sits with Won Him
denburg at imperial headquarters.
Nothing is done unless 'sLudendorf'' is
for it.
1t was Ludendorff's fat that or
ganized the universal auxiliary labor
service, converted German industry to
an unmodif1ed war basis, deported Bel
gian, Roumanian and Serbian work
men to Germany and frightened the
regulations for food distribution. In
the final consideration it was Luden-

"UNCLE JIMMY'S" FAME

uncle Jimmy" otherwise and
more formally known as Col. j. f. Ed
wards, late of the army of the Con
federate States of America, is famed
in Washington for two reasons. One
is that he has been doorkeeper in
the United States senate for 40 years,
and still holds the job. The other and
more picturesque reason for his fame
is that he is the only living man who
had the nerve to 'cuss out" the late
Senator Vest.
Vest was a senator from Missouri
in the Confederate congress after the
war started, and then joined the South
ern army as a private. He was as
signed to the troops commanded by
Col. J. f. Edwards. In later years
when Vest became United States
senator his former commander OBJ
tanned the place of doorkeeper, but
was still Colonel Edwards to the sena-
tor. "Uncle Jimmy" as he came to be
known, is of a volcanic temperament.

OF SENATORIAL STOCK

Frederick Hale, the new senator
from Maine, is of senatorial stock. His
father is ex-senator Eugene Hale and
his mother, Mrs. Mary D. (Chandler)
Hale, is the daughter of Senator Chan
dIer, late of Detroit, Mich, Senator
Hale's brother, Chandler Hale, mar
RED daughter of Senator Cameron,
late of Pennsylvania.
Frederick Hale goes into the
United States senate at about the
same age as his father, who was re-
placed five and half years ago by
Charles f. johnson, Democrat, who.
now in turn is displaced by the son,
after one term.
Frederick Hale was born in De-
troit, October z, 1874, and his earliest
days were passed in that city. When
he was about twelve years old he. was
sent abroad and tutored in French
family in Versailles. He gained an in
innate knowledge of the French Ian
