CHAPTER Iv.-contInued.

1t came 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,
until 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
sense 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.
II want you to think this PROPOSE
ton over as quickly as possible" he
wrote, mot for my sake or yours. but
because your duty is to take the job.
With war with Germany in plain view
to the initiated, there are great things
doing in Washington. and I've been
offered my old post at the mobilization
department, which has been enlarged
beyond all knowledge. Your work In
the West is better known than you
think, Wallace, and we want you here.
Wire If you can, and come by the first
train. This is official. SO don't wait
for divisional notification, which may
take days."
The letter reached Mark in one of
his periods of helpless despondency.
Impulsively he wired back, accepting,
regretted as soon as the message had
been dispatched, but packed his suit
case, turned over the command to the
senior lieutenant, and took the train
for Washington.
As he went East the years seemed
to fall from him like dream. 1t was
a frozen labyrinth in which he seemed
to have been wandering; he seemed to
come to himself with a consciousness
of years wasted, but of years of action
ahead.
Colonel Howard gazed curiously at
him as he rose from his desk in the
war office and grasped his hands.
II should never have known you,
Wallace" he said.
What he was thinking was, "Good,
Lord, how the years have eaten into
himl"
Don't think that your work has
been unrecognized." he said. after

THE OCTOBER
WEATHER FINE
This Year it was Just About What K
Always Is Here in keokuk,
the Finest Weather in
the World.

October in Keokuk was ideal
weather. The big sheet covered with
figures that Observer Gosewisch calls
the monthly meteorological summary
for the Keokuk station of the weather
bureau proves 1t.
The mean temperature was So de-
grees, which is few degrees warmer
than the average for the forty-eight
years that the station has been in
Keokuk The highest temperature
was So degrees, and the lowest was
35 degrees, watec not freezing dur
ing the month of October. The cold
est it ever got here in October was
20 above zero on the last day of the
month, forty-five years ago.
The rainfall was 216 inches, with
about half inch as the most on any
one day. This is third of an inch
less than the average total for Octo-
Der in nearly half a century. The
wettest October ever at Keokuk was
in 1889, when over eight inches Of
rain fell: but 1885 was another wet
October with over seven inches Of
rainfall. The dryest October was in
1887, and a close second was in 1912.
in which years only about third
of an inch of rain fell in the entire
month.
The wind that revolved the whirli-
gig on the chicken coop atop the gov
eminent building here during Octo-
Der had a total movement of 5,36S
miles. It blew the hardest on last
Sunday when it attained 81 miles an
hour. but it logged along through the
month on low speed with only an
average of seven miles an hour of
velocity which is about the automo-
bile speed limit in Wayland, Mo.
1t rained on nine days In October
and two more days were cloudy.
All in all, 1t was a fine October.
