Informal pledges to do their part by

burg and there waited, from July,
1913. 10 January, 1914, and nothing
happened. Communication between
London and Washington was rather
slow In those days at the best, and
especially slow In war times, so II was
not until January of 1914 that
note from Lord Castlereagh, dated
November Of the previous year, and
proposing direct negotiations, was re-
ceived by Mr.. Monroe, secretary of
state. Two days later the whole cor
respondence was laid before congress
and the peace commission was enf-
larged by the addition Of Henry Clay
and Jonathan Russell, an able mer-
chant of Rhode Island who had be-
fore served In minor diplomatic posi-
tons. Client was appointed as the
place Of conference, but England was
in no hurry to begin negotiations.
Battle Month After Treaty Signed.
But England stood committed to the
negotiations and in August. after keep
ing the American delegates waiting
six weeks, the British delegates APP
peared. The British delegates were
men of little experience and no abil-
ity, and did nothing but voice the Opln-
ions of the English government. The
British demanded a discussion of the
right of search and the question of al
legiance, revision of the Canadian
boundary, a discussion or the right of
Ae6F no nd a
erection of an Indian buffer state out
of the territory OF the United States.
The Americans replied that they
had no instructions regarding the In
dams or the fisheries; these matters
were not In dispute. But with regard
to the search of American vessels and
the impressment of her seamen they
had very full Instructions; also with
regard to the Canadian boundary, the
right of blockade and the payment of
indemnity TO American citizens.
But Castlereagh sent word asking
them to wait. Wellington was asked
to go to America and take command.
He said he would go, Of course, If
ordered, but saw little use of a land
campaign there unless control of the
Great Lakes could be gained, and that
seemed improbable. He also thought
England was asking too much. Fresh
instructions were given to the British
delegates at Client and the conference
reassembled. At length. after bicker-
ing with the British commissioners
and fiery quarrels among themselves
by the American delegates, a treaty
was signed on December "a, 1914,
which left all the vital questions OF
the war unsettled and was peace in
its simplest FORM" a cessation of hos
tilities, the release of prisoners and a
commission to settle the boundary.
The news of the signing of the treaty
reached New York on February IL,
1915. The battle of New Orleans oc-

After the "Reign of the Hundred
Days" and the crushing defeat OF
Napoleon at Waterloo, the congress
Of Vienna reassembled, meeting In
June. when the smoke of Waterloo
had scarcely cleared away. The dele
cntes came again TO the council table
with an appetite for plumber, whetted
by the exciting events of the recess.
They looked upon their former work
and found II good, but capable OF be-
ing improved. The idea that the
Italians. who were handed over to
German rule; Poles, who were handed
over to Prussian and Russian rule, or
the Norwegians, who were transferred
TO the rule of Sweden, should have
any voice in the matter, seems not TO
have weighed with the map-makers.
Large armies were still kept under
arms in France and Italy. Murat, the
sergeant of marines whom Napoleon
had made a marshal of France and
king of Naples, had deserted the en-
peror when things went against him
I'm 1914. hoping thus TO keep his throne
of Naples and the two Sicilies. But
Murat knew that the congress OF
Vienna was seeking some excuse TO
Dust him and dispose of his kingdom; ;
that they would, by hook or crook,
find such an excuse. and so, when
Napoleon broke out from Elba. he de-
clared for the emperor. Whereupon
an allied army promptly drove him
out of Naples. Now the congress gave
Murat's kingdom to that line Of the
Bourbons which had formerly reigned
there. whose misrule had been a scan
DIAL to Europe.
The congress spent a very agree
able summer and fall In completing
their work. When II was concluded
Austria had not only northern Italy
but Dalmatia on the eastern shore of
the Adriatic confirmed to her, Prussia,
which had proved the most greedy
land-grabber of all the nations, had
not only half OF Saxony, and a slice
OF Poland, but the extensive Rhine
provinces and Swedish Pomerania.
Sardinia was restored TO the status

nearby buildings were shattered as
two brobdignagian sneezes rang out on
the cold night air.

THE CUT DIRECT

Synopsis.-Thomas X. Barnes,
a wealthy young New Yorker,
on a walking trip in New Eng
land near the Canadian border,
is given a lift in an automobile
by a mysterious and attractive
girl bound for a house called
Green Fancy. At Harris tavern
Barnes finds a stranded troupe
OF transforming" actors, of
which Lyndon Rushcroft is the
star and Miss Thackeray" the
leading lady. They are doing
hotel work for their board. He
learns Green Fancy is a house
OF mystery. That night two
mounted men leave the tavern
under odd circumstances. One
is shot dead near by; the other
is brought back dying. Barnes
comes under suspicion. He stays
to help clear up the mystery.
0Dowd OF Green Fancy says
that that place of mystery Is not
concerned in any way. Barnes

grounds and sees the mysterious

number In loud, brisk voice, but
the subsequent conversation was car
ried on in subdued tones, attended by
haste and occasional furtlve glances
in the direction of the taproom.
Upon reaching his room Barnes per-
mitted the suppressed emotion to
escape his lips in the shape OF soft
whistle, which If 1t could have been
translated into words would have said:
by Cad, why haven't 1 thought OF it
before? He sent out the warning that

Mr.. Rushcroft was giving Hamlet's
address to the players, In the tap
room when Barnes came downstairs
at nine O'clock.
A small dark man who sat alone at
a table in the corner caught Barnes
eye and smiled almost mournfully.
He was undoubtedly a stranger; his
action was meant TO convey to Barnes
the Information that he too was from
a distant and sophisticated community
and that bond of sympathy existed
between them.
Putnam Jones spoke suddenly at
Barnes shoulder. He started invol-
UNFAIRLY. The man was beginning to
get on his nerves. He seemed to be
logging his footsteps with ceaseless
persistency.

ner," said Jones softly, ais a book
agent from your town. He sold me a
set of Dickens when he was here last
time, about six weeks ago. A years

mented Barnes.
"Says he won't be satisfied till he's
made this section of the country the
most cultured. refined spot In the Unit
ed States" said Jones dslefully. Eek
cuse me. There goes the telephone.
Maybe its news from the sheriff"
With the spasmodic tlnkling of the
telephone bell the book agent arose
and made his way to the little office.
Barnes glanced over his shoulder
moment later and saw him studying
the register. The poise OF his sleek
head, however, suggested a listening
attitude. Putnam Jones, not four feet
