 The man set his lips into an obsti- nate line.

 She felt wave of despair beat over her..

 Sitting on World,
 Says Army Officer

Washington, September 19.-(Spe- cial.)-The American army in Ger many is sitting on the top of the world and is livlng In perpetual dread of orders to return to the United States. Lieut.. Kid Cody of this city, just returned. is authority for the statement.
 In an interview with this corre- spondent he said: You can't say or think anything too good for the A F. F. in Germany Men and of- ficers dread the day they will return to the United States. There never was an army which sat on the world as ours Is doing in Germany. With many opportunities to get into trouble, they avoid it because the penalty Is enforced passage home.
 General Allen has cultivated a spirit of sportsmanship in the army. There is football, baseball. polo, shooting and trace teams. all try ing to break records They have sone in for horse racing, and have built their own track and steeple chase course. As result. there has been general hunt for good horses, and they have bred and trained some of the finest animals ever connected with the army.
 Although the men are able to buy all the wine and beer they want, there is hardly an example of a man taking too much. Drinking wine and beer have made them temperate. Whisky and cocktails do not go. Champagne Is less than s1 a bottle, but the men prefer the other wines.
 There is one cafe in Coblenz pa- tronized exclusively by Americans. It won't sell beer. and the Gerihans bar themselves. It sells wine to Americans.
 When an officer travels he Is the object of solcitous attention. They bring you P ows and everything else to make you comfortable. A conduc- tor never asks for your ticket. Once was smoking in car which was not smoking car. The conductor retired and returned with card which he slapped upon the wall It said, Smoking Car"
 Lieutenant Cody repeats that 1t will be a sad day for the army when 1t is ordered home.

 He suddenly flung himself into a deep armchair next the one thai Natalie had vacated.
 Sit down, m dear, and don't quar- rel with your old sweetheart" There was suavity in the thick tones of his voice. He grinned unpleasantly. I'm still fond of you, and--if you treat m. right--I'll shield you all I can. You're in a mighty awkward hole. One word from me to the police--'' He broke of meaningly.
 Oh. if only Uncle Frederick were well and strong. and she could mak. clean breast of the whole miserable affair to him! thought Natalie in fear
 Why hadn't she been stron. enough to blurt the whole affair into the kindly ears of Maurice Danby? If only there was someone that could help her.
 This wretched Farrel Gait must be--temporarily appeased.
 She turned to him, trying to force the loathing that she felt for him out of her face.
 If you'll go away quietly now Ill promise to meet you tomorrow morn Ing and have a long talk with you. My uncle is seriously Ill. There are two nurses in the house. One is on night duty and might come in here for me at any moment. It's danger ous for you to stay"
 The man flung back his head and laughed. It was true that he had been drinking and was not himself
 Dangerous? Ha. Ha, That's a good one. That's 'dare.' You won't get me to leave after flinging me that challenger"
 The girl was in despair.
 Then she remembered that, in q short space ofltime. Maurice Danby would return.
 But there was little comfort in thought. For Farrel-in his present mood-would probably make a dread full scene. and want to fight. Maybe if sho h-mo~.d him h~ womb
