CHAPTER V.
The SpeciaIiSt.


Though the matter of calling in an
expert doctor of finance to diagnose
the alarming symptoms in Timanyoni
ditch had been left intermediate in
the talk between Colonel Baldwin
and himself, Williams did not let il
go entirely by default. On the day
following the Brewster office confer
ence the engineer sent for Smith,
who was checking the output of the
cruShers at the quarry, and q little
later the "betterment" man present
ed himself at the door of the cor
rugated-iron shack which served as
a field office for the chief.
Williams looked the cost cutter
over as he stood in the doorway.
Smith was thriving and expanding
handsomely in the new environment.
He had let his board grow and it was
now long enough to be trimmed to
a point. The travel-broken clothes
had been exchanged for working
khaki. with lace-boots and leggings,
and the campaign hat of the en-
gineers. Though he had been less
than a month on the job, he was al
ready beginning to tan and tougher
under the healthy outdoor work-to
roughen, as well, his late fellow
members of the Lawrenceville Cotil-
Ion club might have said, since he
had fought three pitched battles with
as many of the camp bullies, and had
in each of them proved himself q
man of his hands who could not only
take punishment, but could ham,
mer an opponent swiftly and neatly
into any desired state of subsection.
Come in here and sit down;
want to talk to you," was the way
Williams began it; and after Smith
had found a chair the chief went
on: Say, Smith, you're too good a
man for anything I've got here.
Haven't you realized that?"
Smith pulled a memorandum book
from his hip pocket and ran his eye
over the privaterecord he had been
keeping.
1--WE shown you how to effect a
few little savings which total up
something like Is per cent. of your
cost of production and operation" he
| said. Don't you think I'm earning
my wages?"
That's all right; I've been keep
ing tab, too, and l know what you're
doing. But you are not beginning to
earn what you ought to, either fol
yourself or for the company" put in
the chief shrewdly. And then: "Loos.
en- up, Smith, and tell me something
about yourself. Who are you, an6
where do you come from, and what
sort of a job have you been holding
| DOWN."
Smiths reply was as surprising a:
it was seemingly irrelevant.
If you're not too busy, Mr.. viii.
liams, | guess you'd better make ou'
my time check" he said quietly.
Williams took a reflective half
minute for consideration, turning the
sudden request over deliberately il
his mind, as his habit was.

longed to ask her some questions.
She felt that she might CLEAN some
very interesting facts from her. She

Helen's surprised face.
Helen began to ask questions and
as the conversation progressed, she
discovered many things. Not from
what Mrs. Canders told her, but
what she herself deduced from the
conversation. She saw that Mrs.
Canders was we'll read and charm

men like Harley Tracey used to all
extremely pretty and attractive
women.
When they all rose to go, tho or

which was really unusually good,
monopolized the conversation, and
Helen had no chance to speak fur
ther with Mrs. Canders. She felt.
however, that she had gained some
thing by the afternoons chance ac-
quaintanceship. Mrs. Canders had
opened another way through which
a woman in the home could make

interest which rounded out Frances
Knowles life. Well, why wouldn't
a thorough course in reading take
the place of the other thing that
seemed impossible? Helen was more
interested and excited than she had
been about anything in a long time.

BRITISH AIRNAN HITS BARRACE OF
 ARTILLERY FIRE
Exploits of Several English Pliers Rival Fictitious Tales of Authors Told Before the War.

B RITI l s H HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM Delayed ) (By the Associated Press) ).-Among the recent exploits by British aviators there was one well worth recording which was carried out last Wednes- day, a day when several notable en- counters occurred. An English air. man, after crossing the lines at an altitude of 2000 feet, saw an enemy machine and gave chase, but was driven back by five German alba trosses. He returned towards the lines. and seeing fifteen men on railway descended and scattered them with his machine gun. Nearby he dropped a bomb on munition dump surrounded by soldiers and the dump blew up.
 Falls in Lines
 Once more he engaged the same en- emy airplane he had attacked before, but was again driven of by a large number of German fiiers. He dived to escape from them and in doing so passed into a heavy artillery barrage. A shell went through the mechanism, cutting his elevator controls and one side of his rudder control. He swung towards the ground, but managed to right his machine by using his en- zine at the last minute. and landed just behind the British barbed wire.
 Disperse 500 Troops
 On the same day one British aviator dispersed 800 German troops with his machine gun.
 On Saturday four British airplanes engaged nine German albatross planes. The British brought down one enemy machine, which crashed to the ground. downed another one. and another in flames and entirely out of control.
 Many Bombing Raids
 Innumerable bombing raids have been carried out by both sides in the past few days. The bright moonlight nights have been especially favorable for this work, and after dark the air has been filled with machines from both sides which make their way far back of the lines amidst heavy she'll ing from the anti-aircraft guns.

EMBARGO ABOUT NORTH NEUTRALS

United States Induces Great Bri!ian to Refuse Shipment of All Supplies to Northern European Nations.
tBy Review Leased wire.J

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-Great Brit aims embargo on export of all SUD- plies to northern European neutrals, just announced. was adopted after every phase of its effect was gone and the allied statesmen. American officials, it was learned today, initiat- ed the discussions, and insisted that the British step be taken to make sure that there be no nullification of the purpose of the United States gov eTnment had in view in putting into operation its own embargo.
 The step indicated that the allies have united in a decision that the neutrals must cut of the shipments of all supplies U Germany.
 NeutraIs in Hole
 The new policy can be accomplished through rigid embargoes employed by all the allies. The neutrals cannot exist without British and American SupplltS, anu Wllulu lllt HcAl lNO UT three months all of them are expected to declare fiat embargoes on the ex- port of their commodities to all coun- tries. This will hit England. as well as Germany, but the British. who can draw on the United States, are in a position to do without neutral goods, while Germany, cut off from the rest of the world. cannot exist, officials here say. if neutral aid ceases.
 From South America
 While American and British embar- goes cut off virtually all supplies to the European neutrals, there still is the chance that some goods will reach them from South America. despite the British blockade To meet this situa- tion, the United States and Great Brit ain are prepared to embargo local ship ments to South America, if necessary, and are ready to refuse bunker coal to European neutral vessels that may attempt to engage in this trade.
