people around me. Bob was the link
which bound me to them. If he was
a stranger, so were they all!
AS these bitter thoughts surged
through my brain, I put on a warm
street suit and threw some toilet arti-
cles and a change of linen into a
small handbag. Then 1 crept slowly
and quietly down the splendid stair
way and cross the magnificent hall
and through a small side door in un-
der the porte cochere.
L had but one plan-to catch a
street a at the corner two blocks
away. Once safely aboard, I would
decide where l was going.
Hold on, Miss!" commanded n
voice al my elbow and a flashlight
was turned full in my face, binding
me. Maybe you're all right"
II should say L am all right" I re-
piled in a tone of great Indignation.
You're the new Waterman, I guess,
or you'd know me. I'm the upstairs

2 CHAPTER 1873
Gaou4Shded 1910 By The

SlAatDttE loo
Not until long after midnight was
the great house still. 1 had been put
to bed by mother in that elegant
guest room as carefully as II I were
a little child. Then mother had gone
to Bob's room to cover him snugly,
TO see hat no draft touched him and
to kiss him good night. My envy
amounted to agony. 1 heard the
clocks chime away the hours, and at
last l determined to share with Bob
the dear intimacy of that room.
In my impulsive way, 1 got out of
bed, slipped on n kimono n slip
pers, crept softly across the hall and
opened the door of my husbands
room.
Bob was sleeping as only a man
home from the war can sic ep the first
night in his familiar bed.
I leaned over him bent close
to him-I reached out a finger to
touch the little scar at the corner of
his square jaw.
/ L wanted him to wake. I wanted
to whisper to him that the empty
pillow beside him belonged to me!
Two windows of the room were
open wide and the temperature was
close to zero. I picked up Bob's
trench coat, a huge heavy thing
which I could scarcely lift. wrapped
myself in it. cuddled into its warm
depths, kissed the collar, sleeves and
lapels madly, and then sat down on
the edge of the bed to watch my hus-
bands breathing.
And very naturally, all that DIR.
Certeis had said about inhibition dis
turbed my stolen happiness. Bob's
refusal to think of me as his wife
had started this great tragedy.
And the wish must ave been back
of the inhibition, I said to myself.
I slipped from the bed, spread the
great coat on its chair. and with a
final kiss on the collar, 1 backed
slowly out of the room. I was as
fearful as a strange girl hat Bob
would wake and see mel
I had no longer any right In hat

lations with American producers. Act
ing Secretary of Safe Polk to-day said
that the department is now considering
the advisability of assigning consular
officers to German cities. If found ex-
pedient to have State Department COM
mercial attaches stationed in enemy
centres Mr.. Polk said they would
operate solely as agents and have no
diplomatic standing.
When asked what provision had been
made to protect American officials in
Germany Mr.. Polk said it could prob.
ably be arranged to procure for them
police permits, which would authorize
their working to reestablsh trade re-
lations between the two nations.
The view is entertained here that
no obstacles viii be placed in the
way of American interests seeking to
resume commercial relations with
Germany. Ii was pointed out that
dependence is placed almost entirely
on the United States for certain raw
materials, and that the presence of
American trade advisers and consuls
would be welcomed within Germany.
