1t seemed as If there were every

the house wasn't so territically large
it was big and it had enough stair
ways and rooms so one could play
hide-and-gO-seek when one was through
exploring and meeting friends-but it
wasn't like a castle where m would

one must be all the time.
And the great secret of all they
learned was the secret Of real broth

a part Of the big secret, or like a by
path which leads to the main road.
How happy every one was in the
House Of Secrets. How happy every
one was not always quarreling to be
the chief and most important one.
And the boy and the girl learned
that real leadership was caring for
people and not trying to boss them.

CHAPTER VII.
In the Open.

In New Orleans the carnival season
is always opened by the bah of the
Twelfth Night Revelers soon after
Christmas. and is closed by thar OF the
Krewe of Comus on Mardi Gras night.
Upon this evening OF Eat Tuesday"
indeed, both Rex and Comus hold
forth. Rex is the popular ball, the
affair Of the people, and is held in the
Athenaeum. From here, about mid
night, the king and queen proceed TO
COmus ball.
Comus Is an assembly OF such rigid
exclusivenesS that eve the tickets to
the gallery are considered social
prizes. The persOnae of the Krewe,
on this particular year, as in all preyi-
Gus ones, would remain unknown;
there Is no unmasking at Comus. This
institution, n tremendous social power
and potentially a financial power also,
during decades Of the city's life, is
held absolutely above any faint of ia
voritiSm or commercialiSm. Even the
families of those concerned might not
always be certain whether their sons
and brothers belonged TO the Krewe
Of ComuS.
Henry Gramont did not attend the
ball of Proteus on Monday night. In
stead, he sat in his own room, while
through the streets of the French
quarter outside was raging the carni-
val at its height. Before him were
maps and reports upon the gas and
oil fields about Bayou Terrebonne-
fields where great domeS of natural
gas were already located and in use,
and where oil was being found In some
quantity. Early on Wednesday morn
ing Gramont intended to set forth TO
his work. He had been engaged to
make q report to Bob Maillard's COM
pany, and he would make it. Then he
would resign his advisory job. and be
free. A smile curled his lips as he
thought of young Malllard and the
company.
'"The young gentleman will be sadly
surprised to discover that I've gotten
out from under-and that his respect
ed father holds my stock :" he reflect
ed. 'That was a good deal; | lost a
thousand to old Maillard in order to
have the balance of thirty thousand :"
A knock at his door interrupted the
thread Of his thought. Gramont
opened. to find the concierge with q
note which had been left at the door
below by a masked Harlequin, who
had Their disappeared without await
Ing any reply.
Gramont recognized the writing on
the envelope, and FASTENED to the note
inside. His face changed, however, as
he read It:
"Please call promptly at eleven to-
morrow morning. l wish to see you
upon a matter of business.
LUCE LEDANOIS."
GramOnt gazed long at this note, his
brOws drawn down into a harsh line.
1t was not like Lucie in Its tone,
somehow; he sensed something amiss,
something vaguely but mostly decided
" out of tune. "Eleven tomorrow
morning, eh?" he murmured. "That's
queer, too, for she's to be at the Pro
teus ball tonight. Most girls would
not be conducting business affairs al
eleven in the morning, after being UT
all night at Proteus! 1t must be
something important. Besides, she's

Miss Madge was making her first
trip In a train.
The ticket collector came along and
called for the tickets. Madge readily
gave up her ticket.

ADMIRAL SIMS'S PLEA

NEWPORT. May 20-The duty of the
navy to maintain Its efficiency in the
face of reductions in personnel and
equipment was emphasized by Rear Ad-
miral Sims I'm his address NJ president of
the graduating class of the Naval War
College to-day.
I'VE military men keenly realize he
said, the depressing effect upon morale
OF such drastic reduction In our per-.
sonnet and equipment as will preclude
the carrying out Of the training which
our studies and experience have shown
to be necessary to the miximum eff
cheney. We naturally deplore the
apathy of the people and what appears
to be the unwisdom OF the Congress In
again exposing us and the country to
the possible risk of sacrifices as inev-
table and as grievous as those that
unpreparedness brought upon us In the
great war
"It Is the duty of each officer u make
himself and those whom II Is his privi-
lege to command as efficient as possible
In training and military character. This
education of the entire personnel l con-
ceive to be the primary mission to be
carried out Loyalty and cheerfully In
the conviction that by doing so we shall
not only render our existing forces eff
cient, but command the respect and
confidence OF the public until such time
as the people themselves have come to
realize that what we naval officers call
our navy is really their navy7to realize
the importance of keeping 1t prepared
