A number of members of the gen.

Place de Clichy this afternoon and
paraded through the chief thorough
fares, cheering for President Wilson
and the United States.
The Paris newspapers devote almost
their entire space today to the DEM
onstrations in honor of the President
of the United States, the various func-
tions and entertainments and to arti-
cles glorifying America. La Liberte
says:
paris gave to the first magistrate
of the United States reception as
enthusiastic as that which greeted
in Strasburg President Poincare and
Premier Clemenceau. This comparison
makes the use of further phrases un-
necessary. 1t is enough to say that
Paris lavished in it all its fire and
heart"
The Journal Des Debats says: "The
population of Paris showed itself prod

EXPENSIVE SURVEY MADE
!: .BYLABoR Department
Requests Transmitted to Congress
Based on Investigation Which
President Wilson Suggested.

REQUESTS transmitted to Congress
by heads of government departments
and by the District Commissioners
asking Increases in statutory sal
aries for government employees were
based on a comprehensive survey OIL
wages paid by the government and
by private employers in the District
of Columbia for the same class OF
work, and upon careful computations
Of increased cost Of living, it was
learned today.
In transmitting their requests to
Congress many Of the departmental
heads mentioned that the increases
asked for were based upon investi-
cations by the Secretary of Labor.
These references aroused consldera-
Bile interest, since it was not gen.
orally known that the Department OF
Ial,ar had undertaken a survey for
this purpose.
50 Investigation Made Quietly.
Such an investigation was carried
on quietly but thoroughly. it was learn
ed, with the result that there are many
surprising discrepancies in salaries to
be found here in Washington between
federal and private employees.
The history of the survey dates back
to last summer, when President wilson
requested ethe Secretary Of Labor to
sentation of his cabinet members that

Survey Is Limited.
The wage survey was limited
largely to mechanics. experts in spe-
cial lines, such as engineers and cleo
tricians, and unskilled labor. In these
fields the union scale fixes a standard
upon which to base comparisons, but
wages paid in non-union establish

But observers were impressed with
something more than the magnitude
and beauty of the reception by some
quality of warmth that made it dlf-
ferent from the visits to Paris recent
ly made by the Sovereigns OF the al

The imagination and interest of
France have been stirred by the Presl-
dent of the United States as no other

greet him as the representative OF

CHAPTER w.

And the years passed, and Mark
Wallace grew grayer and older, and
more set and dispirited, with long al
ternatfng intervals of resignation,
when he took life as he found it and
was satisfied. But he always came
out of these into brief periods of I'M
rest, with the sense that he had awak-
ened from some lethargy that was
damning his soul as the a1kah and the
winds of the plains had scanned his
face and taken the last particle of his
youth away.
Now in Texas, now in Arizona, now
in some lonely border post in the
freezing Northwest he remained cap
tain. He had no friends in Washing
ton. In time-in long time he would
reach his majority, no doubt, to be re-
Heved soon after, and waddle, with
stout old majors of his own age, into
ornate clubs in army centers not quite
so far removed from civilization. He
looked upon this prospect with ironical
patience, and now and then asked
himself the unanswerable question
why he had remained in the army.
Eleanor was grown up and domiciled
permanently in Colonel Towards town
house, and her letters had grown more
infrequent and perfunctory, until their
arrival became a quarterly affair in
stead of q monthly event, and not al
ways that, either.
And by and by the feeling came
over Mark that if ever he were to see
her again there would remain no COM
mon link between them. From doubt
ing his future he had come to doubt
himself. He doubted whether the des-
ert life had not blunted him, blunted
his finer instincts, and made him unfit
for social life-certainly rendered him
unfit for the guardianship Of young
girl.
But that he had relinquished to Col
onel Howard grudgingly but uncom-
promisingly.' Never in any of his let
tiers did he put forward the shadow
of his former claim.
Then, swiftly, and Unexpectedly,
chance turned and beckoned him.

ITS something that Major Howard
can't give me, Captain Mark
"Can I?'
Eyes, she said in a low voice, pull
ing at his coat, and suddenly raising
her eyes to his. Mark Wallace saw the
soul of a mature woman look out of
the eyes of the child. when I'm old

Mark
She was gone in a flash, running
along the corridor, while Mark Wal
lace stood dumfounded at the door,
hearing her footsteps grow fainter as
she hurried into the recesses of the
Misses Harpers' School for Select
Young Ladies'.
Mark went down the walk like a
man dreaming. 1t was absurd; it was,
perhaps, characteristic of the girls age
and temperament; and yet. in spite of
the absurdity, Captain Mark Wallace
felt as If he had suddenly regained
the grimy little child whom he had
found upon the hillside in front of
Santiago, and lost again.
AS he reached the gate he saw a
man watching him from the bend of
the road. Something of furtiveness in
the mans posture made him wheel
sharply round; then he remembered
Eleanor's words and started in haste
toward him. But the man shambled
off at a quick gait and when Mark
reached the bend he could see no
body.

Old English Furniture.

That fine old furniture is yet found
in Britain in many unexpected places
is said to be largely due to the STIR
ring up of the country that was given
by the great exhibition at London Of
1851. This was soon after the devel-
opment of the railway system In Eng
land, and there f1ocked to London,
large number of squires and their
wives. A new world had opened to
the country DANES The new things
had a wonderful fascination for them
On returning home they got rid OF
much of their old furniture ana
bought new. Much of the old furni-
ture found its way to secondhand
shops, and was sold to poor folk, who
could not afford to buy new. This &C
counts for the finding today of much
good old furniture In small houses In
provincial towns and among country
people.-Indianapolis News.
