looked back at the groups gathered
around each stool.
| heard the raucous cries of the layers,
and over and over, even as four days
ago, heard them cry the name of VIVIAN
diere. Against field not quite so good
as that of Tuesday, with confidence
begotten of her magnificent showing for
almost the entire race of that day, the
public, despite the closer odds, were
going to the mare AS it was here, so
undoubtedly was it in the pool-rooms
all over the country. Vivandiere had
shown that, properly ridden, she was a
race-horse.
The public does rot hold suspicion long.
1t had forgotten how it had hooted me
end called me robber but four brief days
ago; all it remembered was that VIVIAN
diere had run good race for eight ninths
of the distance, and would have won but
for Jockeys criminal misjudgment. So
now they had made Vivandiere second
choice in a field of nine. Only Jeanne
dare, a first-class little filly, was held at
shorter odds. Jeanne d Arc was at evens,
and good play, because of her unbroken
string of eight straight wins, was being
made on her.
But more was going down on my mare,
and if the amount of money wagered
should affect the odds-and it always
does-Vivandiere should now be at four
to five. Yet she held up, even though
/ tossed ten thousand dollars into the
ring.
There wasn't doubt in the world:
the books were certain that Vivandiere
would lose.
7 FELT the loneliest man in the world as,
from the same point in the grand-stand
where l had watched the race four days
before, l now saw the nine animals line
up for the start. In a box l saw
Miss Leland and Dane, his two men
friends, Mrs. Clarke, and the latters
daughter.
This time the girl and Dane were not
chatting unconcernedly. l suppose the
tension was too great. They were strain
ing over the edge of the box, staring at
the horses below them. l turned my eyes
back from the box and looked at the
horses, the loneliest man there. If I'd

They went to the barrier for the fourth
time. A perfect break, save that Vivan-
diere was length behind. But that didn't
worry me; she had the speed over dis
lance, and this was mile and quarter,
even better suited to her than the distance
of Tuesday, though she carried three
pounds more to-day.
Away outside Murphy took her; he
lost another length around the first and
second turns; then they Strengthened out

horizontally; horse after horse fell behind
her; they neared the middle Of the stretch,
half the distance not done.
Vivandiere shot by-she went a clear
length to the front. And then, with
daylight between her and the bunch,
Murphy sent her in to the rail. A

They were rounding the last turn;

morning in exchange for the telegraph
company's check. Separating one of
them from the bunch, l held it up before
the lads eager eyes.
"This goes down on the mare-for
you," told him.
He turned, slim and trim in his white
riding breaches, shiny black boots, blue
silk shirt, and golden sash slanting across
3 his chest. He looked at the mare, fit,
ready, shining then he turned back
to me.
"She's a horse, sir" he said simply.

arm around her neck, and drew her soft
nose close to my cheek.

There had been no attempt to harm the

Rotten as the gang that ran things might

people-and there were that many in the

my mare and the nearest opponent all

my speculations had been foolish, my sus-

on the manner In which the individual
members respond to the trust reposed
in them to keep up the personal credit
and the honor of the Corps. It speaks
well for the success of the system
that after an experience Of three
months in France only three girls
have been returned to England and
they for an act which showed more
stupidity than deliberate indiscipline.
The administrators are carefully
chosen, being in many cases teachers
in girls schools or nousekeepers in
schools or large institutions. Others
are women trained in welfare work or
university women who have had ex.
perience in similar work. To fit them
for their special work in France, all
women chosen for administrators re-
ceive instruction before being sent out
to take up their duties.
Recruits for the Women's Army are
very carefully selected in England.
Each candidate must furnish two re-
ferences, which are carefully consult
ed. Then the candidate is sent before
a selection board and medical board,
both of whom have set a fairly high
standard. Approved candidates are
called up" to a receiving depot after
short time allowed them for making
preparations. On arriving at the re-
ceiVing hostels the candidates are
solemnly enrolled and required to sign
their formal agreements before a mill
tary officer. They stay at the receiV-
Ing hostel about three weeks, during
which time they are inoculated and
.vaccinated, fitted with uniforms and
taught some elementary marching
drill. They also attend lectures on the
work before them. These three weeks
are very valuable; the women make
friends among their future associates
and begin to get a little of that vali1a-
Bile esprit de corps, pride in their
work and understanding of its value
and Importance.
When the first batch of recruits
ceme to take possession of the big re.
ceiving hostel in London they were
told that the beds had not yet arrived
and that they would have to sleep on
straw filled mattresses stretched over
planks. Not a protest was made, al.
though vaccination and incubation
soon gave aches and pains to several
of them; on the contrary they rejoiced
in the temporary discomfort as part
of the game"

was decided to employ women with

difficulty that arose lay in the cues

France had been prepared solely In
/. accordance with the requirements OF
male troops, and notifications and
adaptations for the use of women re.
quired careful consideration.
The camps and hotels for the
women workers had to be fully equip.
ped, within reasonable distance from
the places of employment, and on a
somewhat higher standard of comfort
tLan was required then for the men.
With the cooperation of the military
authorities, preliminary arrangements
were so rapidly carried out, that with.
in a month after the decision to send
women to France, everything was
ready for the first groups of workers.
These crossed the Channel at the end
of April this year. At present the
women's quarters are principally in
hutted camps, and in hotels taken
over by the Corps at some of the
bases. These camps accommodate from
% to 500 women each. Their total &C.
commodation has reached figure
over 1000.
Each camp, however small, Is under
the charge of a women administrators
responsible for the comfort and well
being of its occupants and for their
discipline outside office hours.
The question is often asked, is the
discipline of the women workers very
strict? The question of discipline was
subject of careful consideration. The
women Of the Auxiliary Corps cannot
be treated as children; they are care
fully chosen in the first instance and
are doing responsible work. For this
reason great deal of liberty is given
them and rules and regulations are
not stringent.
Members of the corps must wear
their uniforms on all occasions; there
are certain restrictions regarding adj
mission to cafes and estaminets in
France. There are occasional roll
calls at the hostels, but out of office
hours the women are allowed a great
deal of liberty. The administrator
may sanction invitations to men to
the public recreation rooms OF the
hostel.
The idea in enforcing discipline
among the women workers is that
they should be led not driven and
that much depends on the Admins
traitor who acts as leader. still more

Dalroy was aware of grim appro-
priateness in the fate of Schwartz.
The German automatic pistols carried
soft-nosed bullets. so the arbitrator
who murdered the Wise doctor had
himself suffered from one of the many
Internal devices brought by kultur to
the battlefelds of Flanders. But the
punishment of Schwartz could not
undo the mischief the wretch had
caused. The men he led knew the ma
ture and purpose of their errand. They
would report to the first officer met on
the main road, who might be expected
to detail instantly a sufficient force for
the task of clearing the wood. In fact.
the operation had become a military
necessity. There was no telling to
what extent the locality was held by
Belgian troops, as, of course. the run
away warriors would magnify the fir
ing a hundredfold, and no soldier worth
his salt would permit the uninterrupt-
ed march of an army corps along
road flanked by such a danger point.
In effect. Dalroy conceived hundred
reasons why he might anticipate
sudden and violent end. but not one
offering a fair prospect of escape. At
any rate, he refused to be guilty of
the folly of plunging into an unknown
jungle of brambles, rocks and trees.

as a very Paladin. She attributed her

inclined to be skeptical of Joos' sensa-

to add another couple of casualties to
the formidable total already piled up
during the German advance on Liege.
The sabots offered a serious handicap
to rapid and silent movement, but he
dared not dispense with them, and
made shift to follow Schwartz and the
others as quietly as might be. He was
helped, of course, by the din of the
guns and the rustling Of the leaves;
but there was an open space in the
narrow road before it merged in the
wood which he could not cross until
the Germans were among the trees.
and precisely in that locality Schwartz
halted his men to explain his project.

the party went on in Indian file,
Schwartz leading. because the enemy
was acting just as he hoped the enemy
would act.
He did not press close on their heels
now. but remained deliberately at the
foot of the hill and on the edge of the
quarry. Standing erect, with the rifle
at the ready, he waited. He could
