and the money needed for the estab-
lishment OF the library on a proper
working basis.
Complaint Is made that the alumni
Of the High School. which. numbers
several thousand, has not. viewed as
whole, measured up to its respon-
sibilities in the matter. That also
applies to the elementary and gram
mar schools most Of which have
not measured up to the expectations
OF the campaign managers in pro-
ductjve power. in either the matter
OF books or money 1t Is hoped that
the developments of this week will
show awakened interest in those two
channels which will contribute large
ly to the success OF the campaign.
1t is felt by those interested in the
High School that the alumni should
show its. appreciation of what It has
received from that institution. while
the children in the elementary and
grammar schools should be made
productivity active by what they ex-
pect to receive from it when they
pass into 1t to obtain higher educa-
ton.
One OF the regrets Of the campaign
managers Is that in years gone by
a Parent-Teacher Association was
not formed at the High School. be-
cause IL is recognized now that IL
such an organization were in exist
ence today it would prove itself to
be a powerful agent in putting the
Library Drive over.
In fact. one of the practical re-
suits Of the drive. not contemplated
at first, probably will bS the organ
ization OF such an association as the

settlement Of the Shantung prob
lem had perhaps caused the defer
ment Of the disarmament meeting.
In this connection. it was recalled
that heretofore the American groups
had regarded settlement OF the Far
East as interviewer with the settle
ment Of the naval treaty Hence, il
was regarded possible that the
Americans wanted to see how shan
tung Jared before definitely closing
up the naval situation.
The Chinese home situation may
have a distinct bearing on the re-
naming work of the Far Eastern
and Shantung groups with the fin
ancial situation badly jammed and
the Chinese apparently unable to
meet their usual February debt pay
ments. II Is conceivable that the con-
ference will say What Is the use OF
making engagements now which
cannot be fulfilled in the present
condition OF China"
The Chinese reply from Pekin on
the Balfour-Hughes compromise
suggestions is' understood to be an
understanding that the home gov
ernment disapproves any yielding
on these principles.
This message is believed TO be at
the root Of Chinese pessimism over
settlement or the. question
In some quarters there was a feel
ing that the conference eventually
( will be obliged to tell the Chinese
and Japanese TO try settling the
Shantung and twenty-one demands
themes at home
Foreign delegates are frankly dis
gusted with the delays in settlement
OF shantung question and with the
dragging of the Far Eastern situa-
tion. The American group. however,
his successfully demanded that the
agenda be covered. This means
there must be some consideration OF
Manchuria. and Siberia. though the
indications are that there will be
little immediate accomplishment.

pet he raj smiling. He had lost the
game, truly. but she knew he would
play his last card, Just the same. The
Guavity, the calm Of years fell from
him, and his voice deepened into a
sort Of cold and quiet fury as he said:
"one moment, Mr.. Carter. Why
don't you ask your, wife what makes
her think I won't make Nina a good
husbandf Why don't you ask her II
she has been hiding something from
you all this time? Why don't you ask
her II she herself wasn't madly In love
and with meI-when she was Nina's
ege, and whether she was married In
my studio, to me, ten years ago."
he had shot the phrases at her with
q ~distinctness almost violent. Now
his dry voice stopped, but his swift,
venomous look went from the silent
man at the desk to the silent woman
who stood before him. Before either
moved or spoke he spoke again.
"Ask her--shen tell you'll Ask her |"
BE Quieti" Richard said. II don't
believe one word Of ii" And then as
the girl neither raised her eyes nor
attempted to speak, he asked her, en-
c~ouragingly and quickly: Harriet,
that is true?"
Harriet had risen, and was standing
at the back Of the carved black chair
with both her hands resting upon 1t.
She had looked quietly at Blondin,
when he began to speak, and the beau
tiful white breast that her black eve
ming gown left bare had risen once or
twice on a swift impulse to interrupt
him. But now she was looking down
jat her laced fingers, with something
despairing and helpless in the droop
Of her bright head and lowered lashes.
1t had had its times Of seeming
frightful to her, this secret, in the
troubled musings of the past year. But
IL had never doomed so horrible and so
mOmentous as now, In the silent libra
~, with the eyes Of the man she loved
0xed anxiously upon her. He had
trusted, he was beginning to admire
her, and like his wife and his daugh-
ter and his mother, she had failed him.
"Harriet?" he said In quick uneasi-
ness. She raised her head now. and
looked at him with weary eyes devoid
OF any expression except b~ewilderment
and pain.
"Yes," she said, simply. "rhat is
an-quite true. It sounds" she hes
stated, and CROPPED for words-"it
sounds - as if" she began and
stopped again. But 1t is all quite

IN the library at Crownlands stirred
In the breeze Of the warm summer
night, the pendulum Of the big clock
behind Richard Carter moved to and
FRO, but for a long time there was no
other sound in the library. Richard
had dropped his eyes, was idly staring
at the blank sheet of paper before
him. Royal Blondin, who had folded
his arms, for a moment studied Har-
fiet between half-closed lids, but pres
emily his eyes fell, too, and with a
rather troubled expression he studied
the pattern Of the great oriental rug.
Harriet stood motionless, turned to
stone. If there vas anything to be

measure of her responsibility and the
full measur of her deceit smote her,
and In utter sickness of spirit she
could advance no excuse. 1t was not
that she had failed Blondin, or that
she had failed Richard, but the extent
OF her failure toward herself appalled,
her. She was not the good, brave, cul-
dvated woman she had liked to think
herself; she was one more egotist,
with Nina, and Isabelle, and Ida, III
scrupulously playing her W game
for her own ends.

presently, in a somewhat lifeless tone.
