no little comment and some u~neaSiness
expressed in the Manchester Guardian
show how American progress j. regarded
by one Of our greatest trade rivals:
Few people appreciate the magnitude
OF Americas commercial progress during
the war. This year her foreign trade will
amount to $4,000. 100000. one-fifth of the
whole foreign trade al the world. Her
foreign trade in 1916 j. half again a.
great a. in 1915 and twice "a great a in
1914. No doubt, higher prices have their
part in tins expansion, bat IL l. notewor-
thy that 90 per cent Of Americas exports
in the current year are constituted by
manufactures. America has been pene-
trating into markets left vacant by the
warlike prescriptions of the belllgerr

\ Si"rv appeared in the newspapers

of the city by Nilli~taS. An lrishNlan. 'ae
account said, tackled an Irish flag tn ii-
door hoping that the soldiers would res
pect his foreign nationality. When the
soldiers reached the house there was q
i.fonlcnt of pause and discussion a To
what nationality the flag represented
One said that il represented no national

unoffending, tpobrel musician who lived
there. The house was passed unmolested.

wards music and musicians. ANY person

Ii j. a long call from music to interna-

from national temperament to interna-

foolish to require the American ambas-a-
dor and his attaches and all American

Music is not the only touch Of nature
that unifics the Mexican race. There are
other intensely marked characteristic
among them. They are a sympathetic peo-
pie and their ~yInpathies and admiration
are easily reached and appealed TO. The
American people have lived near them for

Suddenly her attention was caught
by the curious behavior OF a man who
seemed 10 be skulking about the mrn
ment. He had his hat pulled down
and his overcoat collar pulled M and
she could not see his face. lie was
apparently waiting for someone. She
saw him take from his pocket some
thing that looked 10 her like a re-.
volyer. Gloria was greatly excited
Before she could decide what to dc
the skulker walked away. She saw
another man come around the column
and crouch down for a moment.
She put up the glasses 10 see more
clearly. The figure moved forward be.
meath a street lamp and Gloria could
see distinctly a wild and bearded face.
A shudder went through her: uncon.
sciously she drew her robe closer
about her.
Turning her glasses down the drive.
she saw a third man approaching. lie
looked vaguely familiar. Coming clos
er. he stopped to light a cigar. II was
Freneau!
She realized il with establishment.
She wondered II he had missed bis
train. He saw that she looked out OF
her window. Before she could wave 10
him a figure sprang from the shadows
and leaped upon Freneau. long hands
clutching his throat.
Gloria tried { cry out. She could
not make a sound. Subconscicusly
her hands kept their grip. on the biHoc,
uIars aud held them to her oyes ;lat
she might see the whole Of the tragic
spectacle.
The struggle that ensued seemed i'm
possibly unreal. Surely she was in
ONE hideous nightmare. But the fight
went on. No policeman arrived to in
t~erfere. Then suddenly IL was over.
She saw Freneau's limp body fall 10
the ground. saw his enemy raise his
hands toward the sky and then hurry
away.
And still Gloria could not give vent
10 her terror. she could only watch
halplessly. Now the first man She aad
seen came back along the drive. saw
Freneau's body. knelt down qnicAly.
and listened to his heart. Gloria was
sure hat he would help her lover.
She continued TO gaze. though her
strength was ebbing away.
Instead Of rendering aid, the ahad-
owy figure began to ransack Frcn, ,u's
pockets. He found the envelope al lc.-
tiers and put them In his own pocket.
Then. startled by the approach ~ a
third man, he also vanished.
The third man came on oIraly.
Gloria felt sure that she would either
waken from her nightmare or that aid
was at hand. She used all her will 10
control her reeling sersca.
The newcomer did not even sce Ere
mean till he stumbled over tho iTcs-
trate form. He knelt down bS il,
seemed to be aghast al recognition.
Then he. too. began 10 search through
Freneau's pockets. Then Gloria
screamed. Shrek after shrek burst
through the silence OF the Sta-~Jl
home.
