But I'll get you there on time.

1t will take me only a few min

dear, and Mary is elways slow when
she is hurried.
Warren made no answer to tkis
end Helen hurried into some clothes
and slipped out into the kitchen to
put the coffee on. She felt heavy
and dazed. as one is almost sure to
feel on being hurriedly awakened
Her hands trembled as she measured
out the coffee, but sho resolutely kept
her mind on what snc was doing, got
out the bread. put en- the water for
some eggs and slipped a pan OF
cereal into the oven. Before Warren
was shaved she wac back in the bed

Helen Makes Good
Warren, some Hnat Modified, NUT
tered an "All right" and Helen went
back to her fixing of the table and
the last Few touches. When Warren
came out into the diningroom a few
light turned on. a pot of coffee at his
elbow, a tempting glass of orange
juice, his favorite cereal, and every
thing that he could possibly desire.
Helen was sitting by the table, her
head in her hand, but she straight
ened up as he put in his appearance.
Helen poured his coffee and poured
a cup for herself. After few sips
Warren vouchsafed rather ungra-
cious remark: What on earth made

We'll, Warren" always do: but
guess l was SO wrought up about
it that it kept me from sleeping.
Anyway, 1 had TO get up and read
a little while in the night. But |

won't you?"
"Oh, I guess I'll make it all right,
but believe me, I won't trust to your
psychological imagination next time.
Tonight I'll bring home a reliable
alarm clock"

Helen, I've got to get down town
early tomorrow morning: do you
think you can manage to get me
up?"
Certainly. dear. What time must
you be down town."
We'll, 1 ought to get UP about 6
o'clock. This is a business deal, and
1t is important that 1 get down early
in order to see to things"
I'll get breakfast for you myself"
said Helen. triumphantly.

queried Warren.
why, nothing, dear, but I thought
L wouldn't bother to get Mary up so
early.
THE idea! It won't hurt her for
once. The way you spoil your serv-
ants, Helen, it's no wonder that they
walk all over YOU"
We'll, if you'd rather have Mary
get breakfast I'll tell her." said
Helen, getting up and putting her

"All right. I'll try you this once

Warren did not say anything, and

who has beaten him fairly for a
woman's love-"
You beg the question. Has he
won fairly?"
"Of course he has. Be a good
sport, Gordon. Don't kick on the
umpire's decision. Play the game"
That's all very well. But what
about her? Am to sit quiet while
she is sacrificed to a code of honor
that seems to me rooted in dis
honor?"
"She is not being sacrificed. I'm
her cousin. I'm very fond of her.
And I'd trust her with Colby Mac
donald"
PLAY fair, Diane. Tell her the
let your cousin decide for herself.
You can't do less, can you?"
Mrs. Paget was distinctly an
noyed. you ought to be ashamed
of yourself, Gordon Elliot. You take
all the gossip of a crack-brained old
idiot for gospel truth just because
you want to believe the worst
about Mr.. Macdonald. Colby Mac
donald is too big and too aggressive
not to have made hundreds of enc
mics. His life has been threatened
dozens of times. But he pays no
attention to it-goes right on build
ing up this country. Yet you'd
think he had a cloven hoof to hear
some people talk. I've no patiencs
| with them"
| "The woman's name is Meteetse,'
| Gordon said in an even voice, just
! as if he were answering a question
"She is young and good-looking fol

years old. Colmac, they call him
and he looks just like Macdonald

Men did as they pleased in the early
days"
This wasn't in the early days. I
was five years ago, when Macdonald
| was examining the kamatlah Goa
field. I'm told he sends checi
down the river once a month for the
woman"
"All the more credit to him if he
does" Diane rose and looked
stormily down at her friend. you're
about as broad as a clam, Gordon
Can't you see that even if it's true
al that is done with? 1t is n part OF
his past-and it's finished-trodder

with Sheba."
L don't agree with you. A men
can't cut loose entirely from his
past. 1t is a part of him-and Mac
donald's past isn't good enough for
Sheba O'Neill."
Diane tapped her little foot i'm
patiently on the floor. do you know
many men whose pasts are good
enough for their wives? Colby
Macdonald is good enough for any
woman alive if he loves her

"She ought to be told the truth

insisted doggedly.

his fairly. "I think it is 1 that am
to be congratulated, Mr.. Elliot"
Diane took her cousin in her
arms. My dear. wish you all the
happiness in the world" she said
softly.
The Irish girl fled into the house
as soon as she could, but not before
making an announcement.
Were to be married soon, very
quietly. II you are still at Kusiak
we want you to be one of the few
friends present, Mr.. Elliot"
Macdonald backed her invitation
with a cool, cynical smile. Miss

The defeated man bowed. Thanks

AS soon as his fiancee had gone
into the house, the Scotsman left.
Gordon sat down in a porch chair
and stared straight in front of him.
The suddenness of the news had
brought his world tumbling about
his ears. He felt that such a mar
riage would be an outrage against
Sheba's innocence.
Though she was sorry for him,
Diane did not think it best to say
so yet.
Presently he spoke thickly. II

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Every woman needs loose
top coat in her wardrobe. This
one is admirable for motoring
and for travelling and for tramp
ing over the hills and for general
service. 1t is so loose and SIM
pie that you can make it your
self without the least bit of
trouble and you can let it hang
IN long, straight lines as it Is
shown on the figure, or you can
make it shorter and belted as
shown in the small view. The
collar can be buttoned up about
the throat or rolled open. There
are really two models in one for
none but the initiated would
suspect the loose coat and the
oelted coat to be made from the
same pattern. The skirt is the
familiar straight one joined to
a deep band or yoke, and you
can plat it for heavy material
and gather it for thin materials.
For the medium size the coat
will require, 45sr yards of ma
terial "a inches wide, 3 yards 81,
with e yard 54 for the trim
ming. For the skirt will be
needed, 8 yards either "A or 81.
ihe coat pattern No. o624 is
cut in sizes from "a to A inches
DUST measure and the skirt No.
9o25 IN sizes from 24 to 80
inches waist measure. They will

They were coming down the walk
together, Macdonald and Sheba. The
young woman was absorbed IN his
talk, and she did not know that her
cousin and Elliot were on the porch
until she was close upon them. Bot

became warm and kind.

And you were out again to-day.
My luck isn't very good, is it?"
He laughed pleasantly, but his
heart was bitter. He believed Mac
donald had won.
We've had such a good walk"
Sheba went on quickly. IT wish you
could have heard Mr.. Macdonald
telling me how he had a chance to
save a small Eskimo tribe during
a hard winter. He carried food
five hundred miles to them. 1t was
a thrilling experience"
MT. Macdonald has had lot of
very interesting experiences. You
must get him to tell you about all
of them" answered Gordon quietly.
The eyes of the two men met. The
steel-gray ones of the older man
answered the challenge of his rival
with a long, steady look. There was
in it something of triumph, some
thing of scornful insolence. If this
young fellow wanted war, he did not
need to wait long for it.
Time enough for that, man. Miss

ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES
ColIege-Bred Flowers That Nestle in
ivy-Covered Wall Of University
of Washington.

They are college-bred roses and their
high education seems to have had a
very elevating effect on their aspira-
tions. Students on the University of
Washington campus recently noticed
on an ivy-covered wall of Denny hall,
way up on level with the third floor
windows, spray of coppery roses, the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer says. The
branch which bears them reaches out
from the heavy ivy vines and is the
only sign of rosebush in the neigh
borhood.
Some curiosity was aroused as to
whether the flower was grated on the
ivy or whether 1t was rooted In the
wall. Neither supposition was found
to be correct. A number of years ago
the rose blossomed modestly near the
ground. Then either the crowding of
the ivy or the lofty ambitions inspired
by the intellectual surroundings
forced it to shoot up so that it could
extend its blossoms to the sun just
outside of the windows used by the
public-speaking and Spanish depart
mentS.
Its long, branchless stem Is covered
by the ivy and it's top f1ourishes In the
soft and musical sounds from the
Spanish room and the forceful oratory
from the public speakers.

Look at the Hat Cords.

A military man can Immediately
tell to what division a soldier belongs
by glancing at the cord on his hat,
but to the average citizen the color of
the hat cord denotes little or nothing.
1t is an interesting feature to be ia
miliar with, especially now when so
many soldiers are seen all over the
country, and anyone who takes the
trouble to learn the following list will
be rewarded by being able to satisfy
his own curiosity respecting any sol
der he happens to see without having
to ask questions: A cord of light
blue signifies that the wearer belongs
to the infantry; red denotes artillery; !;
yellow, cavalry; buff, Quartermaster's
corps; orange and white, signal corps ;
red and white, engineers corps; red
and black, ordnance; black and white,
field clerk; maroon and white, medi-
cal corps; black and gold, officers |;
silver and black, adjutant generals
clerk; green, instructor home guards,
and green and white, home guards.

German General staff.

The German general staff Is not the
creation of the kaiser. 1t is the Gre
alton Of the army, and in Germany
the army is the nation. In the old
days, when the principality of Bran
denburg was becoming the state Of
Prussia, it was the elector who gov
erned with unchecked, autocratic au-
thority. Even when Brandenburg had
become Prussia the kings of Prussia
dominated and owned the country as
completely as the head of the house
dominated the family, or the manu-
facturer owned his business. The cab
met of the great elector, the tobacco
parliament of Frederick William, the
Potsdam library of Frederick the
Great, these have merged into the of
fees of the general staff in which
is consecrated the surrender of the
state to the army, and of the army to
the army chiefs.

"N0 SHADOW ON HER FACE"
Writer Tells of English Woman Who
Has Given All She Had to
the Country.

We English do not read our casu-
atty lists any more. Many of US dare
not. When we meet, we do not even
speak of those who have gone away.
A very touching thing was told me by
one Of my neighbors. He was the last
Of twenty-four officers in one of the
Gordon regiments. He said that the
places were just filed up as soon as
they were emptied, and they never
spoke of those who had fallen. That
brings the reality of the thing to you.
In my own little country-Scotland
you will find many, many villages
from which the Highland regiments
have been recruited. There are no
boys left to come back. They are all
dead.
Not many weeks before / came to
this country I was up in the Gordon
country, and on a Sunday night l was
speaking in church on the spiritual
side of the war. At the close a wom-
an came to me, little, simple, coun-
try woman, dressed in the uniform Of
the Gordon Highlanders, holding a
yellow missive, which I, alas, knew too
well. '"The war Office department re-
grets to inform --- that --
was killed in action She laid this
little missive beside one of the por-
traits, and said, "That came yesterday.
That's Jimmie. He's the last of the
three" 81 hear you are going to Amer
lea. Will you tell American mothers
have given all my lads? I had only
three and l would give six, If I had
them, for the same cause" Another

sons. She is a widow and she has
none left; but she Is working In one
