possible dream, or one that would ruin
the girls life if, in some wild moment,
she made il truth.
He had his reward in Eleanor's in
creasing restraint, her quite visible in
dignatiOn. They had fallen apart again,
after that single meeting. 1t was Il
poor reward, but the sort that Mark
Tad received all his life from fortune.
But there were lonely nights when
life seemed unbearabIe, and he had TO
exert all his Will power to keep him
self in check. Mark had rented a lit
tie furnished apartment in the North
west section, off Pennsylvania avenue,
and he had found the desert more COM
panionabIe.
one night he felt Mt the end of his
powers. That was after a grilling day
in the war office, one of those days
that sometimes come in Washington
toward the middle of September, when
everything is as sticky as the asphalt
sidewalks.
1t had been day of evil pOrtent be-
sides. Colonel Howard. who had
seemed of late to reflect Eleanors
GOODNESS in some measure, had greeted
him with a wry face when he came in.
The devils to pay. Mark" he said.
Draw up your chair. There's a leak
age in the department"
''What?" cried Mark
Things are getting known-for in
stance, our dealings with the shipping
people. They've found the exact num-
Der Of ships we've requlsitioned. You
know whom l mean by they"
Mark nodded. The cosmopolitan in
fluences in Washington, whose ramif-
cations extended to the ends of the
earth, or, at least, across the Atlantic,
were busy In every drawing room ex-
tracing news, the tiniest and least re-
liable of which was not despised, since
many such single items make up a CO.
herent story.
THE Brigadier's wild about it" con-
tinued the Colonel, pulling at his mus
tacEe. And 1t seems impossible to
detect how the leakage occurred. 1t
must have been through the shipping
companies, of course yet they couldn't
have pieced the thing together without
concerted action, which is out of the
question. Let's go through the pa
pers."
They opened the safe and went
through them one by one, but nothing
was missing.
damn 1t - growled Colonel Howard.
I've been through this before, Mark
you know that. In that case there
was traitor at work. We found him.
In this case there can be none, at least,
in the war department. And I've told
the Brigadier I'll answer with my place
for discovering where the leak lies"

to Kellerman's room, to return with

president and cheers for the soldiers
were blended as the ships passed.
The demonstration which attended
the arrival of the Lapland and the de-
parture of the George Washington had
just begun to die away when the Min
nekahda hove in sight, but its appear
ance stirred the crews gathered on the
shores and the water craft whistles
into another tumultuoVs greeting.
Secretary of War Baker, who had
come TO New York to witness the pres
ident's departure. visited the Lapland
as the troops were being debarked and
spent two hours chatting with the
men.
The British ensign over the stern of
the Minnekahda was flying at half
mast in tribute to Walter /. Hart, OF

Construction company, who died of
pneumonia during the voyage.
