MANY cARILLoNs WERE SAVED
Famous Bells Of Belgium Not All De.
stroyed by Hun Ravages OF
the Country.

Thinking Of peace memorials. the
United States will be the richer for
the possession Of carillons. those gi-
gantic bell-pianos. as they might be
called, for which Belgium was. and
happily can still be famous. Many Of
her carillons, with from 38 to 50 bells,
ranging from little ones that weigh
only few pounds to big ones Of six
or seven tons, were destroyed by shell
fire or enemy spoliation, but some Of
the best have survived uninjured. The
bells Of Iseghem were taken away by
the Germans, and recapturcd and
brought back by the British. The
carlton Of Malines survived 10 tow
er that was seven times hit by artil-
1ery; but the keyboard was smashed
from which Josef Benyn, one OF the
greatest bell-masters. In the world,
brayeIy rang out the national airs OF
Belgium while the invaders were get
ting ready to enter the town. And
now the carlton Of Malines can re-
sumo its interrupted weekly concerts,
one of which. just before the war, is
said to have had an audience Of at
least 10000.

The company's automobile honked
outside. Hardin frowned across the
table at his wife. You're surely not
going such a night as this"
Gerty gave one of her light. elusive
shrugs. No need to answer Tom when
he was In one of his black moods.
This was the first word he had spoken
since he had entered the tent. She
had warned lines by a lifted eye
brow-they must be careful not to
provoke him. Something had gone
wrong at the Office, Of course! How
much longer could she stand his hui
mors, these CHASTITY silent dinners?
'The river on a rampage. and we
go for driver jeered Hardin.
The flood was not serious-yet
Tom loved to cry "Wolfr No one
was alarmed in town-Patton, Mrs.
Youngberg, would have told her. OF
course, one never knew what that
dreadful river would do next, but If
one had to wait always to see what
the rivers next prank would be, one
would never get anywhere!
Innes was leaving the table. "Well,
] suppose should be flashing on my
hiatt" Gerty's pretty lips hardened as
the girl left the tent. These Bardins
always loved to spoil her enjoyment.
They would like her to be nun. a
clustered nun!
At the opening of the door, the
wind tore the pictures from the piano.
Gerry ran into her room. shutting
herself in against further argument.
She came back into the room. pow
dered and heavily yelled against the
wind. A heavy winter ulster covered
the new null gown which she had not
worn at supper, though Innes could
have helped her with the hooksI But
there was always so much talk about
everything!
They had to face the gale as the
machine swept down the wind-crazed
street.
1t was too bad to have a night like
this! And all her work-Tom and
his sister would have 1t go for moth
ing! She was made of stubborner
stuff than that. Life had been deal
ing out mean hands to her. but she
would not drop out of the game, ac-
knowledge herself beaten-luck would
turn. she would get better cards.
In the hall of the Desert hotel, the
party was assembling. Mrs. Hardin,s
rowing eye secured the hall. Richard
was not there. Patton called her from
the desk. Some one wanted her at
the telephone. 1t was Richard, Of
course, at the Office; to say he had
been Detained. The fear which had
been chilling her passed by.
1t was not Richard on the wire, but
Mrs. Hatfield, loquaciOus and coQuet-
fish. She urged a frightful neuralgia,
and hoped that she was not putting
her hostess to any Inconvenience at
this last moment. She wanted to
prolong the conversation-had the
guests all come? Were they really
goingf Then she must be getting old,
for night like this dismayed her 1!
Gerry felt her goodnight was rudely
abrupt. But was she to stand there
gabbling all night, her guests wait

She prayed that Richard would be
there when she returned. What a
travesty If the guest of honor should
disappoint herl Though he was not

Then he began to speculate as he
cooled over the trouble up yonder. A
whole city burning? They would sure
.ly get 1t under control. He began to
think of the isolation; the telegraph
wires all down. That might happen
anywhere! He walked to the door
and looked thoughtfully at the COM
pany's big water tower. That wasn't
such a bad idea! He picked up his
hat, and went out.
