CHAPTER xVI-Continued.

~Tll buy myself a picture of you"
She told of her longing for photo
graph of him, but did not tell him of
her need of it as a talisman. He
laughed aloud at this incredible way
of spending money, till she began sud-
denly to cry. He had no answer to
that argument except yes. Then she
began to laugh. They decided to stop
at a photographers on the way to the
fye-thirty train.
Daphne ran out and cashed Reben's
check at the grocer's much to the re-
lief of Reben's bookkeeper, whose
books had been held up by the missing
check.
Taphne asked FOR the privilege of
taking her father to the train, and
Bayard was so busy figuring where to
put the cash he had on hand that he
consented to stop at home.
They went first to the gallery Of a
photographer whose showcase had
displayed some strong and veracious
portraits of men. The photographers
tested, but he answered dolefully:
I'D give u thousand dollars for one
photograph of my father"
That settled it.
After the sitting Daphne and her
father proceeded to the station. She
stopped at the gate because she had
neither a ticket for the train nor
platform pass from the station master.
She watched him dwindling down
the long platform. He was mere
manikin when he reached his place and
waved to her before he vanished
through the magic door of the train.
She waved to him with her handker-
chief, and when he was gone she bur-
led her eyes in it. Her partings with
her father had marked epochs in her
life. She wondered what destiny would
do to her between now and the next
one. She felt fOrlorn, afraid for his
life on the train, afraid for her soul in
the perils before it, and so sorry for
him and for herself that she could not
help boo-hooing little.
Destiny die not keep her waiting,
for while she was strangling her sobs
as best she could she heard voice
over her shoulder. It said:
"Aha, gel, at last have you in me
power"

turned to meet his smile with another.

while?
"a lot you've cared" he growled.
"Did you ever telephone me as you
promised you would? MOI Were you

proud. I refused to call on you again."
"I'm awfuily SORRY" she said, and
her voice broke.
Sorry" was dangerous word for
her at that moment, and her sobs were
beginning again, when he made Wig
orous effort to talk them down.
The crowds in the station were too
well preoccupied with their own err
rands to notice girl crying and to
the gateman farewell tears were no
luxury.
Duane tried the best he could to help
her. He was saying: "And now sup
pose I've got to miss my train and my

CHAPTER XVII.

Daphne had not told Mrs. Chivvis
Of her financial plight, nor Of her IA
theirs, nor her brothers. She had
simply let the days of payment go
past one by one. She saw a chillier
glitter in Mrs. Chivvis' eye and there
was a constant restraint upon the con-
versation for many days.
Mr.. Chivvis was at home most of the
time now, sitting about In his old
clothes to save the others. He and his
wife naturally talked of Daphne.
Sometimes she overheard their under
tones. Each seemed to urge the other
to the attack. Finally, one evening
Mrs. Chivvis made so bold as to call
on Daphne in her room, and to say,
after much improvising:
II dislike to speak Of 1t, Miss Kip,
DISQUALIFICATION see-the fact is
If YOU The grocer Is sending round
in the morning for his last weeks bill,
and-if it's not inconvenient-"
Daphne felt sick with shame, but
she had to confess, II can't tell you
how sorry am, but haven't any,"
Really That's too badp Mrs.
Chivvis said. She was hardly sorrier
for herself than for Daphne. She tried
to brighten them both with hope. "But
you expect-no doubt you expect soon
to"
1--WE oeen looking for-for some
! work to do, but there doesn't seem to
be any,"
"Oh, I seei" said Mrs. Chivvis, con-
frmed in her suspicious and reduced
to silence. Daphne went on, after
swallowing several cobblestones:
"But, of course. I've no right to be
eating your food and staying on here
as a guest. And suppose I'd better
give up my room, so that you can
take in somebody who can pay"
/ Mrs. Chivvis was close, but she was
not up to an eviction, and she gasped.
"Oh, really!-I hardly Think
shouldn't like"
Her hard voice cracked like an
icicle swapping off the caves in a
spring sun; and before either Of them
quite understood it the hard eyes Of
both thawed; tears streamed, and
they were IN each others arms.
Daphne was the better weeper Of
the two. Poor Mrs. Chivvis could not
be really lavish even with tears; but
she did very well, for her.
Immediately they felt years better
acquainted-old friends all of sud-
den. They were laughing foolishly
when an apologize knock on the open
door introduced Mr.. Chevvis, who
would no more have crossed the sill
than he would have broken into the
temple of Vesta. His name was Chiv-
Wis, not Clodius.
The surprised eyes of Daphne threw
him into confusion, but he said: 1--WE
been thinking, Miss Kip, that If you
really want to work and aren't too
particular what at-maybe could get
you q place at my old office, with the
publishing house. They turned me off,
but the receivers are trying to keep
the business going. Not much pay,
but something's always better'n moth
ing"
Anything is better than nothing"
said Daphne, land it might be begin
ming"
She applied the next day and the
firm accepted her.
Now Daphne was truly q working
woman; not dramatic artist with Pc
cullar hours, but a toller by the clock.
She entered the office of the company
at half-past eight, punched her num-
Der on the time register, and set to
work addressing large envelopes. She
wrote and wrote and wrote till twelve |;
at one she took up her pen again, and

CASE IS SETTLED RIGHT
Japanese Statesman Says Shan
tung Solution Correct.
Declares His Country Intends No
Chinese Observation-Disclosures
and Europeans Welcome.

Osaka, Japan, Aug. 6.-Viscount
Kato, leader of the Kenseikai, or OPP
position party in Japan, declared in a
speech before that party that the
Shantunk uestion was settled as it
should have been settled" in the Paris
peace conference.
Viscount Kato's arguments contin-
ued along the usual lines, including
reference to the Chino-Japanese treaty
of 1915 concerning the disposition of
German rights in Tsing-Tao.
Continuing Viscount Kato said:
China is a vast country where there
is plenty of room for Europeans and
Americans as we'll as Japanese to work
side by side and extend their inter-
ests in full measure. There is no need
for mutual ~jealousies. We would ad-
wise the newspapers of Japan not to
attack England and America reck-
lessly, and at the same time we would
inform foreign newspapers that Japan
will never monopolize interests in
China. Japan is in a special relation
ship with China compared with other
foreign nations"
Viscount Kato called attention to
the action Of the Anglo-American as
ISOLATION in Picking in adopting reso-
lutions declaring that the settlement
of the Shantung case in the peace con-
ference would cause extreme discord
between the Chinese people and ia
pan, and would not make for peace in
the Far East, nor for the development
of trade and commerce equally open
to all.
1T was resolutions such as that
which instigated the ignorant section
of the Chinese to disturb the harmony
between Japan and China, thereby
tending to disturb the peace of the
Orient"

OF HALF MILLION
Planned in Measure Sent to Con-
gress by Baker.
Three Months Compulsory Training
for Youths Of Nineteen Is Pro-
vided For.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Plans for a
permanent peace time army Of 51O,-
900 officers and men and a system of
universal military training have been
transmitted to congress by Secretary
Baker.
Under provisions of the bill, repre-.
senting the policy of the War depart
ment with respect to the peace time
military establishment, all special
services built up in the war would be
retained in their present status ex-
cept the chemical warfare service.
which would be merged with the en-
cheering corps.
Training for Youths.
Three months military training for
youths of 10 would be made compul-
sorry. Youths completing the course
of training would be subject to mill
tary service for two. years in peace
time, but it is improbable that all
would be required to serve for that
length of time. In the event of war
the selective service act in force dur
ing the war with Germany would be-
COMo operative.
No Change in Guard.
The bill makes no change in the
existing law with regard to the or
ganization of the national guard and
its relation to the regular army. Mr..
Baker said it was assumed that the
national defense act federalizing the
guard would be kept in force.
The reserve strength to be created
by universal military training could
be utilized in time Of emergency to
bring to war strength the 20 infantry
divisions and one cavalry division into
which it is proposed to divide the reg
ular army force to be authorized by
the bill, Secretary Baker said. The
regulars and reserve force would give
the country one complete field army
of 1,250,O0O officers and mel for use
in time of emergency.

The note urges amendment with. a
view to investing a commission with
plenary powers, regarding all economic

then argues regarding the unjust and
unequal division of old Austria's debts
among the states which succeeded it
and the injustice of stipulations re-

continues, that all states in what
was formerly Austria-Hungary should
