some OF the other servants knew

who would welcome him and call

and the princely doorman opened

The inhabitants of Paris have
way OF swiftly returning to the
daily prose OF their lives, and An
thony, after the glow OF his newly
made decision which set his mind
afame with new hopes, found 1t de-
pressing in the drabness Of its pre-
occupations. At the shipping office
he learned that the sailing OF the
Rochambeau had been postponed
and that he would have to hnger a
few days longer in Paris.
He could not face the blankness
OF waiting in a desert Of inaction.
He walked down the Avenue de
l'Opera, found his way to the tele-
graph office at the Bourse, and
wrote out a cable to Jim Howard.
1t read:
Albuquerque. Coming home.
Have you job for me?"
He added his address, signed and
passed 1t in at the window with
trembling fingers. His uniform was
taken as guarantee that "Albu-
querque" contained no sinister sig
nificance.
Inc L0lTu udy Iuc duSWcI SdhO.
Albuquerque yourself. Job still
waiting. Speed along and welcome.

That afternoon he packed his lug
gage and took the night train for
Bordeaux.
At Bordeaux he found 1t all but
impossible to get any lodgings, but
his old knowledge Of quartermas-
ter's lists sureed into play from his
memories, and soon he found a
niche for the two days before sail
ing. He wandered about the streets
that seemed to him somnolent after
the throbbing of Paris.
Idly he entered the military post
office where, during the previous
stay at Bordeaux, he had 80 often
in vain inquired for letters. He re-
ceived the usual answer-which
was, Of course, no other than he
had expected. But as he turned
away the attendant asked him to
wait a moment. And from packet
OF soiled, time-worn letters the
clerk gave him an envelope covered
with postmarks of almost every mil
itary post Office In America and
France, ragged and frayed with
travel, smeared and black and
gummed-but bearing his name. He
