before l arrived in a very great hurry
with much pinkness of cheeks in the
Office Of the GouverneUr Faulkner at
the capitol of the state of Harpeth.
Good morning, Robert" he said to
me with q laugh as he came and stood
close beside me. That Roberta. mar
quise of Cree and Bye. will blush
within me when that beloved gouver-
neur comes very close beside her, in u
way that is an embarrassment to Rob-
ert Carruthers, his secretary. "And
now tell me what you said to that
the light?" he asked me. with his fine
eyes looking into mine with a great
interest and something Of admiration.
81 asked Of her if she would not
throw herself before that beloved good
Timms if q knife was aimed at his
heart. and she perceived from that
question that she must give to me the
paper. A heart that has felt a great
tragedy draw near q beloved one can
speak without words to another who
sees also a beloved in danger. Is it

ready had that Information.
"They make into a fool my revered
uncle, the General Robert Carruthers,
who would keep his state and the
gouverneurN of that state from dishon-
orr" I exclaimed to myself in my rage.
'And this woman thinks to play with
the life of French soldiers as she has
with that same Gouverneur Faulkner,
does she? No: there is Roberta, mar
quise of Gree and Bye. who is a SOL
der of her republique by appointment
from the great capitaine, the Count

must meet in combat first!."

gouycTncur was silent, and for the first
time since ] had looked into his face
my eyes did not glance in his dircc-
ton.
'Thcy both announce the arrival on
Tuesday of the Lieutenant the Count
de Bourbon to sign the contracts con
corning the mules to be sold by the

sir?'
Madam Whitworth said tonne that
the Gouverneur Faulkner had set that
date for the arrival of the commission
and had so informed her. and think
that to be the reason for absence of
such excuses" And as I made that
answer. which was one Of great i'm
pertinencc from Il secretary to a chief
who was a great ~gOuverneur, ! looked
with cold Guinness into the dark star
eyes under their black lashes, which
were dartinG lightnings of ange. at ny

"What..' exclaimed my uncle, the
General Robert Carruthers. And he
turned white with a trembling as he
faced the lightning in those eyes of
the stars. But it vas not to his secre-
tary of state that the great Gouver-
neur Faulkner made his denial, but to
his humble secretary. Robert Car
ruthers, who looked without fear into
the very depths of those lightnings.
"This is the first time 1 have heard
OF 4 change of date for the arrival OF
the commission, Robert" he said in a
calm voice as for n second his eyes
held mine. a second which was sufli-
cient for q truth to pass from his heart
and still the storm in mine. I did not
understand all that his eyes said of a
great hurt. but | knew that what he
spoke was true and would always be.
"And what were you doing gossipinG
with that lying huzZy, sir" demanded
my uncle, the General Robert. with in
slant belief in the word of that Gouver,
neUr Faulkner, turning his anger upon
me. who stood and took it with such
a joy i'll my heart from the truth that
had come into it from those eyes OF
the night stars that | did not even feel
it's violence.
"Vive la France and the state of
Harpeth. Behold! l am Il spy!" I an,
swered him as drew myself to my
greatest height and gave the salute
which his old soldiers give to him at
that raising of the banner of the cause

big RUSH OF ORDERS
Brings COAL CRISIS
Fuel and Labor Shortages Combine
to Make Situation Serious.

As a result of the first cold weather
spell. Washington found itself fac
ing a serious coal crisis. Yesterday
brought such a flood of orders that
local dealers figuratively threw up
their hands. Shortage of labor adds
to the trouble. and there is every
prospect that the great majority of
residents will not get their coal for
weeks to come.
Orders were taken by coal men with
the understanding that no delivery
date can be promised, even with old
customers. New customers are not
even considered, ard as a result,
strangers in the Capital found them
selves unable to procure fuel.
As a result of labor shortage, GUS
toners who offer to furnish men to
put coal in the cellars get the prefer
ence over others. as the dealers find
it very difficult to secure men for
this work.
The seriousness of the situation is
plain when 1t is stated that one of
the biggest dealers here has declared
that he can care for about per cent
Of his orders from old customers
only. Another dealer has kept him
self going by deliveries in small lots.
but he has not a sufficient supply
on hand to continue doing so for the
rest Of the week

CHAMBER WANTS WAR

Upon the heels of the statement by

advisory committees of the Council
of National Defense will be reorgan-
lied to represent Industries, comes a
pertinent suggestion from the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States.
In bulletin issued by the chamber
war service" committees are sug-
gested- These. says the bulletin, would
be in a position to supply information
as to the facilities of the Industry,
the possibilities of plant expansion. the
gathering Of figures as to produc-
ton cost-this latter being 'fnfol ma
ton which would prevent avoidable
hardship In the business by govern
:nent regulation of prices and distri-
button" The war committees would
act in conjunction with the Priority
Committee OF the War Industries
Board regarding distribution. Also
they could offer suggestions for the
use of existing facilities or labor sup
ply
Meetings for the selection of the
committees should be held as soon as
possible. urges the chamber. All
branches of the industry should be
represented, including representatives
of the smaller units. Not necessarily
presidents of the largest units, but
''T1en OF recognized ability who have
a thorough knowledge of the impor-
tant details of the industry should
be committee Iacmbers, and different
sections of TIE country should be rep
resented IL possible.
