The use of electric power has been
given enormous boost since the coal
strike caused the cutting down of
steam power plants because of lack of
fuel. Hydro-electric plants need not
worry about coal, as they are run by

The door opened sharply and
girl came in, a straight, long-limbed
girl, with the freshness of morning
in her dancing eyes and in the
clear pink and white Of her cheeks.
She was youth at its brightest and
best-youth smiling and unafraid,
because as yet 1t had found no
tears in life.

said, as she embraced her warmly.

The girl laughed as she returned

had not her sisters beauty, but her
freshness and vitality made her
equally charming in another way.
Il should think you would be
thankful for any breeze" she said

Lady Sarah thought, as she put in

The girl glanced across at Paul
Delacour, who had risen at her en-
trance and was looking at her with
interest and admiration. They had
not met before and she wondered
why her sister did not introduce
him. There was a moments en-
barrassment as they waited and
Lady Estcourt still hesitated. Then
she said, slowly:
"Mr. Delacour-my sister, Miss
Marchmont."

Quite natural, but none the less
Objectionable. However, IT would
certainly excite comment if you

intimate you have been, so perhaps
il is best as it is. II is certainly
safest. / am afraid we cannot be

CHAPTER XII.
''The Rose Of Youth, /"


TT was late in the Autumn when
Lord and Lady Estcourt, ae-
companied by Felicity, re-
turned from Scotland to town,
where Felicity was to take part in
some of the gayeties of the little
season"
One of the first people to call at
Belgrave Square after their return
was announced in the Post was
Mr.. Delacour, and he found both
Lady Estcourt and her sister at
home.
81 need not ask how you are" he
said, for you look the picture Of
health. It is evident that you have
tramped the moors to some pur-
pose"
"Yes, I feel like a giant re-
freshed," Lady Estcourt said,
laughing. She knew that the two
or three months peace and quiet
had more to do with her improved
appearance than anything else.
The past, with its painful memo
ries, had dropped more and more
into the background. She had been
able to forget and be happy. Miss
Lethbridge had made no movement
and she had begun to think that
nothing was going to happen; that
she was safe.
ut is Just possible" she said to
herself, hopefully, that - seeing
nothing to account for such letter
she has come to look upon it as
a hoax. Oh, having waited so long,
she does not like to produce It
now" And out OF sight and sound .

people, she found Il easy to talk

asked Lady EstcOuFt, when they
we're left alone for a few minutes.
She hesltated, as though uneer-
tain what to answer.

BAVARIANS GROW BALKY

The separatist spirit among the Bar varians continued to increase. The ef ] feet of this movement, which the Bar varian government silently allowed. be- gan to be felt and was instrumental in increasing the effect of the enemy's propaganda.
 The agitation against the Kaiser and the Crown Prince, and even too against the Bayarian Crown Prince, bore it's fruit.
 The Bavarian troops began to look upon the war as purely PruSSian war. The commanding officers were no longer so willing to make use of them as in the earlier years of the war. Only few divisions threw them selves forward in the old way. (The Bavarians, as did the Saxons. felt that they had been placed too often in the forefront of attacks as to save Prus- sians.)
 At hone everyone was completely under the influence of the foes propa ganda and the speeches of the enemy's statesmen. that were designed parti- cularly for us. (President Wilson's s speeches were circulated by hundreds of thousands in Germany) We still could not enter into our foes way of thinking.

The words of the Kaiser were placed side by side with the corresponding passages of the buchure and pro- nounced lies. To confirm this impress sion. there was also printed there the opinion of a newspaper of the Indepen- dend Social Democratic party. which had been allowed to express, openly the same opinions as had Prince Lichnow- sky, to the harm of the people. It was no wonder that the men in the trenches grew perplexed since Prince Lichnow- sky was left at liberty and such talk could be published unpunished. PLEADED WITH KAISER MAINLY
 I had already begged the Imperial Chancellor. Dr. Michaelis, to take ac- ton against Prince Lichnowsky In the military world Captain von Beer felde was called to account as the dis tributor of this publication. But as the author remained undisturbed, Captain von Beerfelde could not possibly be punished.
 I again appealed to the Chancellor and declared to him that proceduce against the Prince was a military ne- cessity on account of the troops that must be ready to continue to fight and to die for our good cause. I reported the same to His Majesty. But nothing happened.
 It was at this time that Clemenceau said: We shall achieve victory if the public authorities are equal to their task" They were equal in France; how was it with us? I have pointed out here one case of the enemys pro- paganda that could only be effective because public men with us did not understand the iron necessity of this war.
