CHAPTER Vii.-Continued.

Jim HOrscroft was ut home all that
summer, but late in the autumn he
went back to Edinburgh again for the
winter session. and as he intended to
work very hard. and get his degree
next spring IL he could, he said that
he would bide up there for the Christ
mas. So there was great leave-tak-
Ing between him and Cousin Edie. and
he was to put up his plate and to
marry her as soon as he had the right
to practice. I never knew man love
q woman more fOndiy than he did her.
and she liked him well enough In a
way. for indeed 10 the whole of Scot
land she would not find finer-looking
man; but when 1t came to marriage l
think she WINGED little Mt the
thought that all her wonderful dreams
should end In nothing more than In
being the wife of country surgeon.
1 was never very sure at that time
whether Edie cared for De Lapp or
not. When Jim was at home they
took little notice Of each other. Aft
er he was gone they were thrown more
together. which was natural enough.

hardly appeal to the United States, for
this is the only country where money
TO meet II could be obtained.
The proposal to rebuild the devastated
regions with German materials and
labor has already been rejected BY
France and will surely never be acs
cepted. In effect, IL is q plan to find
employment for German industry as a
result of the havoc wrought by the war.
The suggestion that Germany would
take over the allied war loans held by
this country will not be acceptable to
any one. The United States does not
wish to be interested in Germany's
property as against that of her late
Allies. And those allies will not desire
to give this country an interest In
Europe running counter to their own.
In the note Germany seeks not only
to keep the negotiations open, but, fol-
lowing the diplomacy Of the war, to
drive wedge between this country
and the Allies. She asks Mr.. Hughes
to give bis opinion as to how. Germany's
proposal should be modified. n Mr..
