the quiet voice, and the possessor of
it was already lacing her shoes.
II think So" l replied. 1 was max
ing sure of passports and letters Of
credit and money, in case anything
should be gone.
We dressed completely: went into
the hall and rang for the elevator,
but, by the time it came, we had an
other idea:
Can you take us up on the roof?"

up. and out OF darkened windows
looked into the sky. where a dozen
powerful searchlights crossed and re-
crossed right over our heads, against
the brilliant> moonlight.
There's one of the beggars right
above u.s. remarked the elevator man,
lowering his voice to q half whisper.
almost as if there might be some dan
ger that the "beggar above us" could
hear. THE searchlights have been
hunting him for half an hour, but he's
high p two miles or more"
Then came a streaking flare straight
down through the sky.
An incendiary bomb, and it blazed
up where it hit, not over three blocks
away.
AS if angered. the big guns on Lon
don Bridge, and the huge French 75s
along the Thames, increased their
booming with r%edoubled fury.
NO chance to get the Boche at that
height. but they could keep him from
coming close enough to make an ac-
curate drop.
What trace of apprehension there
had been in us had disappeared.
though we were closer to the danger
by being out from under the piles of
sandbags which protected the main
roof.
And there seemed to be no fear in
the elevator man.
1T was all unreal. unbelievable!

1t was monstrously past compre-

death and destruction to US and all
about us, to kill and MAIN women and
children, and the i'll and in
the hospitals!
The view was too limited out of
those narrow windows and between
the Sits Of buildings, so we went
downstairs.
Only a few people. and those most
~ IRON the top floor, were in the big,
dim lobby, and no one seemed partic-
ularly %perturbed.
We asked if we were permitted to
go outside. Ow. yes, we might.
The authorities would rather ue
would not, on ccoun of the possible
danger of flying debris: but there was
nothing, really, to prevent us.
So we went.

of the air, far towards the border, had
heard a strange engine way overhead,
and too far inside the line, SO he gave
the alarm for the chase, and q mis-
take in signals had treated the city
to a long obsolete thrill, in spite of
the fact that the raiders are scarcely
likely ever again to reach Paris.
The bugle sounded F" all clear in a
short time after h warming, and the
vigilant airmen, who never cease to
circle above their precious Paris,
Whirred and dipped and tObogganed
in the limpid moonlit air.
But the thrill had 10 depth.
The world, with such tremendous
things at stake, has long since ceased
to care about such trifles.
The incident only served to bring
up the everlasting puzzle of: Why docs

His tremendously expensive raids
and it can only be that his clumsy
mind conceives the absurd theory that
such people as the British and the

ish so much, but we were with them
in the n visitation, and know that
there is nothing but bravery in them;
and as for the French, whom we
know much better, lit is to laugh"
Fear, as a basis of action, seems to
have gone out of the universe.
= At least it is not to be found in
France, for fear is individual. and the
Frenchman, dear as life may be to
him, no longer ives for himself.
He is but a part of a great, daunt-
less nation which is proceeding stern
ly toward the accomplishment of one
clear and fixed idea; for that idea,
France is willing to endure again all
the deprivation and the agony which
she has endured in the past, to fight
bravely and to bravely suffer, to pour
out her treasure and her blood in an
unending stream, without complaint
and without one faltering in her sub
lime courage, until the foul and hide
Gus monster of Prussian militarism
shall have been driven forever from
the world!

wagons, silent and motionless Bob
bies," huddled early> risers shuffling
almost invisibly to and fro on a thou
sand missions of their own, and, now,
silent little groups here and there,
faces upturned.
Nothing to see.
The airships were so high up as to
be invisible; they were not even specks
in the clear sky. Presently, too, the
booming of the big guns became more
intermittent, and finally ceased. The
air raid was over. Over, and no great
damage done!
The siren sounded again in the
streets of Paris, only a few seconds
after that first warning, and the cur
tain slid slowly down on our London
memory, as the lights were dimmed in
our decorous French restaurant.
The walters came away from the
door, smiling and struggling their
shoulders, and the head waiter low
cred his hand.
He considered it his duty to laugh
~extravagantly for the reassurance of
his guests, and did so, though it was
entirely unnecessary.
The French officer who was enter
tanning his family exchanged a smile

The young English officer lit a fresh
match, and the pretty girl took up her
silvery laugh where she had left it
off, with a curious effect of beginning
again with the inaudible echo.
The American contractor observed
probably a false alarm" and set
down his river and put a bridge across
it.
The French banker, his eye twink
ling with amusement at the excessive
hilarity of the rhead-waiter, tasted his
dessert and found it good, Inc we put
lemon on our fiat. round oysters.
There seemed nothing else in par
ticular to do.
Nowhere in particular to go. for one
place was as safe as another; and if
anything were to happen it would, and
if not, not.

OF course it had been a false alarm.

Paris. Feb. 22.-Suddenly there
sounded Il shrill, high-pitched wall,
rising and falling in a most uncarthly
Shrek just outside the window.
There was an instantaneous lull in
the vivacity.
Three walters went to the door, but
the head-waiter, rushing in before
them, stopped them and held them
motionless with an appraised hand; for
this was one of the most d%ecorous
restaurants in Paris, and poisc must
be preserved though the heavens fall.
There was a stained glass medallion
just behind him, in the rocco door OF

wine for one of the ladies of his party,
held the d]ecanter in mid-air; the
young English officer who had been
lighting Il cigarette as he told Il story
to Il mighty pretty girl, let the match
burn out in his fingers, while the girl
stopped in the VERY ut'd 49,,

audible echo; the American contli1C-
tor who was laying out a railroad con-
struction campaign With matches for
the instruction of the two French Of
ficerS who were his hosts, held II river
in M hand and a mountain in the
other while he listened; the large,
prosperous looking French gentleman
who was dining alone-a banker, if
Il judgment as to the length of his
whiskers was accurate-had his spoon
in the midst of his dessert, left it
there; we, discussing ways and means
to make a French oyster taste like an
American one. had turned toward
each other, II continued to look
each other tiXedly in the eye.
Time was when the rise and fall of
that piercing whistle would bring
back a %favorite picture of Il crack
hook-and-ladder company racing to a
FIRE, with three beautiful ~prancing
horses dashine down the middle q.
Fifth avenue, and the traffic spreading
quickly to the curbs, and Il black and
white coach dog, with his mouth wide
open, and his eyes bullying, and his
ears flying straight back. and his tail
stiff as a poker. running like mad
ahead of the horses, barking with ev-
cry lung in his body. INC thinking
that he was responsible for the whole
thing.
a siren will never mean merely that
to us again.
This time it was like the raising of
n curtain on a far different scene.
