Invocation.

o Thou whose equal purpose runs
In drops Of rain or streams Of suns,
And with a soft compulsion rolls
The green earth on her snowy poles;
0 Thou who keepest in Thy ken
The times of flowers, the dooms Of men,
Stretch out a mighty wing above
Be tender to the land we love-!
If all the huddlers from the storm
ave found her hearthstone wide and
warm;
If she has made men free and glad.
Sharing with all the good she had;
If she has blown the very dust
From her bright balance to be Just.
Oh. spread a mighty wing above
Be tender to the land we love!
When In the dark eternal tower
The star clock strikes her trial hour,
And for help no more avail
Her sea blue shield, her mountain mail,
But sweeping wide, from gulf to lakes,
The battle on her forehead breaks,
Throw Thou a thunderous wing above
Be lightning for the land we love!

CHAPTER Xxx.
COUNCIL OF WAR.

When Paris opened her eyes on
the morning Of Thursday, the
18th Of October, it was to rejoice
at one Of those soft and beautiful
days Of autumn which make of
every house q dungeon to be es-
capped at the first possible mo-
ment. Even as early as 9 o'clock,
a perceptible tide had set in to-
ward the Bots de Bouiogne, or,
rather, innumerable little tides,
which converged at the Place de
la Concorde and rolled on along
the Champs-Elysees in one mighty
torrent.
Against this torrent, a sturdy
and energetic figure fought it's
way across the square; a figure
carefully arrayed in black morn
ing coat and grey trousers, and
looking alertly about with a pair
of very bright eyes magnified by
heavy glasses. The haughtiest Of
the carriage crowd felt honored
by his bow, for it was none other
than that great diplomat, Theo-
phile Delcasse, minister of marine.
M. Delcasse was not in the habit
of being abroad so early it was a
full hour before his usual time
but he had an appointment to
keep which he regarded as most
important, so he strobe rapidly
across the square, entered the
handsome building to the north
of it, and mounted to the first
floor, where, on the corner over
looking the square on one side and
the Rue Royale on the other, he
had his office.
Early as it was, he found await
ing him the man whom he wished
to see a thin wisp of a man,
with struggling white beard and
a shock of white hair and a face
no wider than ones hand, but
lighted by the keenest eyes in the
world-in a word, Louis Jean Bap.
tiste Lepine, project Of police, to
whom full Justice has not been
done in this story-nor in any
other. Mr.. Lepine had not found
the hour early; to him, all hours
were the same, for he was q mar

he ran down the steps after his
companion.
Lets go the other way" he
said, as she turned toward Ninth
avenue. "We may as well KEEP
out of this. We can get the sub.
way'just below he"
And in another -noment, they
had turned the corner.
Wherefore it happened that
when the patrolman, in company
with three detectives, who had
been torn away from a game OF
pinocle and who were consequent
ly in no very pleasant humor:
reached the center of the block,
some minutes later, there was nc
one in sight.
HE said he'd wait for u.s." said
the patrolman, helplessly.
The detectives looked about
them, but there was no evidence
of anything unusual about any of
the houses.
(Which side of the street was
it on?' one Of them asked.
HE didn't say" answered the
patrolman.
"Well, what did he say7"
BLAMED if | know, exactly. He
was so worked up-With his ewes
stickin' out, and his jaw shakin',
and the girl hangin' on to his arm
but it was something about kid

there bein' another prisoner to

incredulity in the three pairs of
eyes fastened upon him.

dope, more likely" suggested
the third. "Look here, Hennes-
sey, don't you ever git us up here
again with no such cock-and-bull
story! Come on, boys!"
They left Hennessey rubbing his
head helplessly and staring at the
houses, n after another. He
wasn't at all convinced that the
strange youth had been "string-
ing" him-his excitement had too
evidently been genuine; but if he
was on the square, why had he
run away?
ooh, hell" said Hennessey,
finally, and returned to his post at
the corner.
And it was about that time that
the phone at the German consul
ate range, and a pleasant voice ad-
vised that a physician be sent at
once to the house just off Ninth
avenue, as his services were badly
needed there.
