wise, Captain Wallace. And what a
dreadful burden and responsibility you
you would have had!"
This time Mark did not attempt to
answer.
"She has been a daughter to both of
u.s." pursued his hostess. "And now
I'm afraid-we're both afraid, Captain
Wallace, that we cannot hope to have
her for long. She was quite the rage
in New York last season."
Wallace followed the girl with his

broke into the widest and merriesi

flushed face and laughing eyes, accept
Kellerman's arm and surrender herself
to the dance.

the room. He looked straight back

Birds are excellent barometers. A

These birds, 1t is said, never by chance
get caught by foods, and IL you see a
swans nest, say, foot above the river

enough to raise the river above that
height. The common robin knows a

Mark saw not the slightest change in
Kellermun since the days of the Cuban
war. Kellerman was just as florid as
efer, just as burly, with the same rath-

hair was unthinned and untouched

Disdain Western Elnerv

In reply to an inquiry from an
American firm as to the demand here
for lace goods and embroideries, 1t
can be stated, reports the American
consul at Yokohama, that as the Japa-
nese women cling very tenaciously to
their style Of dress and as no use is
made of lace or embroideries either In
their dress or home furnishings, it is
improbable that any considerable mar
ket can be developed in Japan for
American-made lace goods or embroid-
cries. The demand would be limited
to the foreign residents here, who now
number about 5000, exclusive Of Chi
nese, and to such goods as are not be-
ing manufactured In Japan.

CHAPTER N-contInued.

It cnme In the form of letter from
Colonel Howard, the first In two years.
Howard had. in the past, repeatedly
tried to induce Mark to take advantage
Of opportunities that he had put before
him, but Mark had refused stubbornly,
untu the Major had given him up In
disgust. Howard did not know, and
Mark did not himself understand, the
underlying Idea In his own mind, the
Hense Of subdued rancor against the
man who had robbed him of Eleanor,
coupled with the sense of sacrifice,
that he might withdraw all his claims
on the child.
Now, however, Howard made one
more attempt.

As he went East the years seemed
to fall from him like a dream. 1t was
q frozen labyrinth In which he seemed
to have been wandering; he seemed to

OF years wasted, but Of years Of action
ahead.
Colonel Howard gazed curiously at
him as he rose from his desk in the
