In Which J. Patterson Bing Buys A
Necklace of Pearls.
Meanwhile, the Bings had been hav-
ing busy winter in New York. j. Pat
terson Bing had been elected to the
board of a large bank in Wall street.
His fortune had more than doubled in
the last two years and he was now
q considerable factor in finance.
Mrs. Bing had been studying current
events and French and the English
accent and other social graces every
morning, with the best tutors, as she
reclined comfortably in her bed
chamber while Phyllis went to sundry
shops. Mrs. Croker had once said,

improvement" 1t was mainly if not
quite true.
Phyllis had been beating the bush"

and dances and theaters and country

was the birthday of Phyllis, there was
to be a dinner and house party and
possibly an announcement and a pref
ty wagging of tongues. Indeed, J..
Patterson had already bought the we'd
ding gift, a necklace of pearls, and
paid hundred thousand dollars for it
and put it away In his safe. The neck
lace had pleased him. He had seen
many jewels, but nothing so satisfying
nothing that so well expressed his
affection for his daughter, He might
never see its like again. SO he bought
it against the happy day which he
hoped was near He had shown 1t to
his wife and charged her to make no
mention OF II until "the time was
ripe" in his way of speaking.
Mrs. Bling had promised ON her word
and honor to respect the confidence of
her husband, with all righteous inten-
ton, but on the very day of their ar
rival in Bingville, Sophronia (Mrs.
Pendleton) Ames called. SophrOnia
was the oldest and dearest friend that
Mamie Bing had in the village. The
latter enjoyed her life in New York,
but she felt always a thrill at coming
back to her big garden and the green
trees and the ample spaces of Bing-
vile. and to the ready. sympathetic
confidence of Sophronia Ames. She
told Sophronia of brilliant scenes In
the changing spectacle of metropolitan
life, of the wonderful young man and
the untimeIy affection of Phyllis, now
happily past. Then, in a whisper,
while Sophronia held up her right
hand as pledge of secrecy, she told
of the necklace of which the lucky
girl had no knowledge. Now, Mrs.
Ames was one of the best of women.
People were wont to speak of her, and
rightly. as the salt of the earth" She
would d0 anything possible for
friend. But Mamie Bing had asked too
much. Moreover. always 1t had been
understood between them that these
half-playful Oaths were not to be taken
too seriously. OF course, "the fish had
to be fed" as Judge Croker had once
put it. BY "the fish," he meant that
curious under-lfe of the village-the
vorae-pus. silent. merciless, cold
bloodeh thing which fed on the sins
and follies Of men and women and
which rarely came to the surface TO

CHAPTER FoUR-continued

Mr.. Sneed sat down with Judge
Croker in the handsome library of the
latter and opened his heart. His son
Richard, a boy of fifteen, and three
other lads of the village. had been
committing small burglaries and stor-
ing their booty In cave in n piece of
woods on the river bank near the vii
lage. A constable had secured a CON
fession and recovered a part of the
booty. Enough had been found to war
rant a charge of grand larceny and
Elisha Potts, whose store had been
entered, was clamoring for the arrest
of the boys.

They walked in silence to the corner.

But there remains the Italian need Italy,

Italy even more than France is destitute
Of coal. Finally, like the French, the Ital-

in the matter Of coal, alleging that the
British have taken advantage of the situa-
ton to hold up the Italians for excessive
coal costs. France. having taken over Ger
man coal, would be in a position to meet
Italian needs, thus at one time improving
Franco-Italian relations and insuring Italian
support for the French policy of repara
tions.

ration all of the adjoining regions notably

cry of a Paris chemist, and in view of the
fact that France disliked the use of gas as
a weapon of war, as evidenced by her
efforts to include a clause in the Versailles
warfare, she hesitated to use it except in
retaliation for German gas bombardments.
The new gas had binding and instant

its worst features being that ii failed to

retreat of an enemy drenched with this

Attitude of Teutons in Seeking to Evade Re-

Estranges Entire World

They perceived that not nation In Europe
would raise hand to save France; that
the conditions of the treaty of Frankfort
had to be fulfilled with meticulous exacti-
tude If France were to get free from Ger
man clutches. What was necessary was to
deprive the Germans of any excuse or pre-
text for new exactions. which would COM
plete the ruin OF France
France, therefore, not only paid. but
anticipated payment Not the smallest sug-
gestion could have been raised by the most
hostile German that France was seeking to
evade the terrible sentence of Frankfort
After France had paid. when Germany.
grown angry over the unexpectedly swift
recovery of her foe, undertook in 1876 to
threaten a new invasion and a new war,
Europe intervened. Russia and Great Brit
ain bluntly intimated to Bismarck that a
new attack would not leave them cold But
this was a consequence of the appreciation
that France had performed her full task.
Had Germany at any moment since the
armistice of Rethondes, at any time since
signing the Treaty of Versailles shown any
thing OF that appreciation of realities which
distinguished Theirs and Gambetta in the
years that followed French defeat in 1870
Der position now would be far different.
There has been-American and British rep

real doubt as to the extent of German
capacity to pay, to the limits of the wis

has mistaken the spirit and sought to ex-
plot moderation as stupidity.
To-day she has no statesmen who dare
tell her the truth On the contrary, at the
moment when the world is gradually reach
ing perfect agreement that all the risks of
extreme coercion must be run the Germans
are rebelling against the assertion that
theirs is the responsibility for the war and
