Marshall keeps his men with him =
The engineers glance travelled around
the fieckless office. A stranger to Mar
shall would get a wrong idea of the
nan who worked in it! Those precise
files, the desk, orderly and polished
the cleaning linoleum-and then the
man who made the negro %janitor's life
a proud burden! His clothes always
crumpled-Spots, too, unless his Clau'
dia had had a chance at theml Black
tie askew, all the outward Wis
ible signs of the southern gentleman
of assured ancestry. Not ever a valet
would ever keep Tod Marshall up to
the standard of that office. What did
he have servants for, he had demand
ed of Richard, if it were not TO jump
after him. picking up the loose ends
he dropped?
Curious thing, magnetism. That
mans step on the stair, and every
man-jack of them would jump to at
tention, from Ben, the colored %janitor,
who would not swap his post for a 81
mcclure so long as Tod MashalrS one
lung kept him in ARIZONA. TO Smythe,
the stoop-Shouldered clerk, who had
followed MarshalT's cough from San
Francisco. 1t was aid in Arizona
he himself had met the statement in
TucSon-that any man who had ever
worked for Tod Marshall would rather
be warmed by the reflection of his
greatness than be given posts of per
sonal distinction.
Was it office routine Marshall in
tended him for? He admired without
stint Tod Marshall, but he preferred
to work by the side of the other kind,
the strong men, without physical ham
dicap, the men who take risks, the
men who live the life of soldiers. That
was the life he wanted. He would
wait long enough to get Marshalrs in
tention, and then, If it meant-this +!
he would break loose. He would go
back to the front where he belonged
back to the firing line.
AS the hands of the round clock in
the outer office were pointing to ten
the door opened and Marshall entered.
His clothes, of indefinite blackish hue,
would have disgraced ar eastern man.
His string tie a a Starboard list,
and his hat was ready for a rummage
sale. But few would have looked at
his clothes. The latent energy of the
dynamic spirit that would frequently
turn that quiet office into n mael-
strom cleaned In those I~ndian-black
eyes. Beneath the shabby cloth one
suspected the daily polished skin; I'M
der the old SLOUGH hat was the mouth
of purpose, the lips that no woman,
his Claudia, had kissed without
the thrill OF fear.
Marshall glanced back at the clock,
then toward his visitor.
"On time - he observed.
Richard, smiling, put his book in
his pocket.

CHAPTER II.
A Bit of OratorY.

Marshall threw his hat on a chair,
the morning paper on his desk. He
aimed his burned-out cigar at the near
est c%uspidor, but it fell foul, the ashes
scattering over Sans lately secured
linoleum. Instantly there was appear
ance of settled disorder. Marshall
emptied his pockets of loose papers,
spreading them out On his flat-top
desk.
"Sit down 2"
Richard took the chair at the other
side of the desk.
Marshall rang a bell. Instantly the
sh~irt-sleeved clerk entered.
Il shall not see anyone" the chief
announced. Il don't want to be inter-
rupted. Take these to Smythe."
His eyes followed the shutting of
the door. then turned square upon
Richard. II need you. It's a HI of
a mess!"
The engineer wanted to know what
kind of a mess 1T was.
THAT river. It's running away from
them. I'm going TO send you down TO
stop it."
The Colorado - exclaimed Richard.
1t was no hose to be turned, simply,
off from a garden bed.
"Of course you've been following it?
It's one of the biggest things that's
happened in his part of the world.
Too big for the men who have been
trying to swing it. You've followed
it?' .
yes" Queer coincidence, reading
that report just nowl i've not been
there. But the engineering papers
used TO get TO me in Mexico. I've
read all the reports"
His superior's question was unchar-
acteristically s~uperfiuous. Who had
not read with thrilled nerves of that
wild river which men had been trying
to put under work harness? Who.
even among the stay-at-homes, had not
followed the newspaper stories of the
failure TO make q meek servant and
water carrier of the Colorado, that
wild steed of mountain and desert?
What engineer, no matter how remote,
would not follow" that spectacular
struggle between men and Titans? .
"Going TO send me to Salton?" he
inquired. The railroad had been kept
jumping to keep its feet dry. His
job to be by that inland sea which
last year had been deserti
mo. Brainerd is there. He can
manage the tracks. / am going to
send you down to the break"
Richard did not answer. He felt
the questioning eyes of his chief.
The break-where those Hardins
were-how in thunder was he going
to get out of that, and save his skin?
Marshall liked his own way
well consider it settled, then"
.Who's in charge there?" Richard
was only gaining time. He thought
knew the name he would hear.

BLAMES KAISER
ALONE FOR WAR
Prince of Monaco, Former
Friend of Emperor, Quoted
as Accuser.

LONDON, March 10.-"There is no.
doubt the former German emperor was
the first and responsible author OF the
war. He absolutely wished for it and
conducted it himself in all its ruthless
ness and barbarity."
This is a statement attributed to the
prince of Monaco by the Mails Paris
correspondent, who interviewed the
prince there. The correspondent recalls
that the prince of Monaco formerly was
a personal friend of Emperor William.
but that friendship was severed by the
prince in. a telegram sent to the en-
peror IN September, 1914.
Untu a few years before the war"
the prince is quoted as saying, the
German emperor seemed to sincerely
wish peace and a renewal of inter-
course with France, | know this be-
cause l was intrusted with a mission
TO try to bring it about. But at the
time a terrible megalomania was grow
ing in him. He was anxious to see
Germany over all, and from the day
when ne felt 1t impossible to attain this
end by peaceful means, war became an
ohsession with him.
81 shall never forget the fury In his
face and the hatred in his voice when,
In July, 1914. he told me, If they
oblige me to make war, the world will
see what it never dreamed Of These
words were hypocritical because the
emperor could not pretend the war into
which he declared himself driven was
not at that very time being prepared
