in all the world but of how they looked.
Suddenly Sidney felt very tired. She
wanted to go back to the hospital, and
turn the key in the door of her little
room, and lie with her face down on
the bed.
"Would you mind very much If I
asked you to take me back?"
He did mind. He had a depressed
feeling that the evening had failed.
And his depression grew as he brought
the car around. He understood, he
thought. She was grieving about Max.

had for a year and half, and then

In that case, we could drive around for
an hour or two. I'll not talk If you'd

tine had been, and that their worlds,
hers and KS, had only touched for a

"Pd like to ride, if you don't mind"
K. turned the automobile toward the
country roads.
"K,"
"Yes?"
"Was there anybody you cared about
any girl-when you left homer"
II was not in love with anyone, If
that's what you mean"
'You knew Max before, didn't your"

"If you knew things about him that I
should have known, why didn't you
tell me?"

"Yes?"
II thought everything would be all
right. 1t seemed to me that the mere
fact of your caring for him" That
was shaky ground he cot off it quickly.

was crying. She sat with her head

quite disagreeable about it.
Sidney slid from the railing.
"There he is now"
Perhaps, in all her frivolous, selfish
life, Christine had never had bigger
moment than the one that followed.
She could have said nothing, and, in
tn queer way that life goes, X. might
have gone away from the Street as
empty Of heart as he had come to it.
"Be very good to him, Sidney" she
said unsteadily. "He cares so much"

CHAPTER xxvI-continued.

"When you go away" she said at
last, II want you to remember this.
I'm going to do my best, K. You have
taught me all 1 know. All my life I'll
have to overlook things; know that.
But, In his way, Palmer cares for me.
He will always come back, and perhaps
sometime"
Her voice traifed OFF. Far ahead of
her she saw the years stretching out,
marked, not by days and months, but
by Palmer's wanderings away, his re-
inorseful returns.
''Do a little more than forgetting"
X. said. ''Try to care for him, Chris
tine. You did once. And that's your
strongest weapon. It's always a wom-
ans strongest weapon. And it wins in
the end"

obediently.
But he turned away from the look

was an innovation. The two or three
people on the Street who received her
engraved announcement that she was
there, 'buying new chic models for the
autumn and winter-afternoon frocks,
evening gowns, reception dresses, and
wraps, from Poiret, Martial ct Armand,
and Others" left the envelopes casual
ly on the parlor table, as if communion
lions from Paris were quite to be ex-
pected.
So K. lunched alone, and ate little.
Sidney came home at half-past two
came delicately flushed, as if she had
hurried, and with a tremulous smile
that caught Katie's eyes at once.
"Bless the child !" she said. '"There's
no need to ask how he is today. You're

The smile set just trifie.

But when she learned that *. was
upstairs, oddly enough, she did not go
up at once. She stood in the lower
hall and listened. Yes, he was there.
She could hear him moving about. Her
lips parted slightly as she listened.
Christine, looking in from her bal
cony, saw her there, and, seeing some
thing in her face that she had never
suspected, put her hand to her throat.

"You can see him when he comes

Sidney came slowly through the par
lor. 1t occurred to her, all at once,
that Christine must see a lot of K,
especially now. No doubt he was in
and out Of the house often. And how
pretty Christine was! She was un-
happy, too. All that seemed to be nee
essary to win KS attention was to be
unhappy enough. Well, surely, in that
case

Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old, inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president of the United States.
But in order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country if they so desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number of men subject
to draft will not all be called TO the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
assary TO fill up the regular army. the
National Guard and the CONSUMPTION
force of 100000 men.
2,0o1 900 Armed Men.
1t is estimated by the war depart
ment that as a result of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2,001, 900 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
100000 men, 100000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength of the regular
army is about 100000 men. 1t has
now about $4,000 men and is short
oh No ri
has a war strength of 5000 men. 1t
has now about 125,000 and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655,O0O
men to fill up gaps in the regular army
100000 as the first quota of the con-
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft 1t is possible about
], 155, 900 men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi-
ately 100000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do now that
his pet project Is incapable of realiza-
ton is a question. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that President Wilson Is alb
solutely opposed to the idea of vol
unteer organization under command of
the colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and nom
officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than 81
per month are increased to S31 per
month those who received S24 are
Increased to $50 men who receive $50,
$50 ,r $40 are increased Sc each; men
who receive S45 are increased to $50. |
Army Officers Pleased.
Army officers received notice of the |
lge limit with pleasure. They had |
a higher maximum, though |
hey would rather have had the orig |
nal ages of nineteen to twenty-five.
A new section in the bill authorizes
he president to organize and equip |
hree. machine-gun companies for
ZACH infantry and cavalry brigade
md four machine-gun companies and
IN armored motorcar for each in
antry and cavalry division.
An interesting change is that the
Iraft will not be based upon the num-
'er of persons available for serv-
CO." as first proposed, but upon the
population.
A man may register by mail, If nee
ssary. Fraud in registration, exam

Dry Clause Drastic.
The prohibition provision is exceed
ingly drastic. The president is au-
thorized to make regulations govern
ing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors
''in or near military camps. Not
only can liquor not be sold or sup
piled but it will be illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
intoxicating or spirituous liquors at
any military station, cantonment'
camp fort, post or officers or enlisted
mems club.
It will be unlawful for anyone to
sell intoxicating liquor, including
beer, to any officer or member OF the
military forces while In uniform.
Likewise, the social evil is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention of the setting up OF any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
of congress the president is author
lied to call 100000 men to the colors
is expected to have a great moral ef-
feet in Germany. 1t is quite true that
the entire force he can commander
at this time will number two and
quarter million. But even this num-
Der would constitute a reinforcement
which British and French officers say
would assure victory If employed in
France.
Could Relieve British.
England TO date has raised some
6,O0O,000 men. With the exception OF a
couple of million these men are ar
the front in France, Belgium, Egypt,
the Balkans and Mesopotamia.
What the president and Secretary
Baker desire first and above all is to
train the officers and men. When they
are ready to fight the drilled troops OF
Germany, then probably they will be
sent abroad, and not before.
But Germany doubtless will watch
with increasing anxiety the prepared
ness of the American people and will
realize that peace will be most desir-
able and necessary, before they are
ready for service in France.
Officers Go to France.
Three army medical officers-Maj.
William L. Keller and Capts. Daniel 2.
Card and George NJ. Edwards-were
assigned to duty at the French military
hospital at Ris Orangis, France.
Organization of two reserve air
squadrons for the army was authorized
by Major Genera, Scott, chief of staff.
The first class at West Point will be
graduated August 80, the war depart
ment announced, and Immediately COM
missioned to supply 154 highly trained
officers to aid in the instruction of the
first 100000 selective draft army to be
called to the colors some time in Sep
TENDER. Under normal conditions the
cadets would have completed their
course in June, 1918.
Women Form Committee.
The woman's liberty loan committee
mas been formed. Announcement to
his effect is made by the treasury de-
)artment.
The committee met in the office of
he secretary of the treasury. The
present were Mrs. George
Bass, Mrs. Antoinette Funk and Mrs.
Kellogg Fairbanks of Chicago, Mrs.
clifford Dudley of Tennessee, Miss
Pierce of Kansas City, representing
