swer her; for she did not suspect that he was unable to answer her.
 You would rather explain to father than to me-" she decided.
 He hestated. What he wanted now was time to think, to learn who she was and who her father was, and to adjust himself to this strange reversal of his expectations.
 Yes; 1 would rather do that" he said.
 She caught up her fur collar and huff from chair and spoke a word to the servant. As she went out on to the porch, he followed her and stopped to pick up his suitcase.
 "Simmons will bring that" she said. unless you'd rather have 1t with you. It is only a short walk"
 They turned in at the entrance of a house in the middle of the block and went up the low, wide stone steps ; the door opened to them without ring or knock; a servant in the hall within took Alan's hat and coat. and he fol- lowed Constance past some great room upon his right to smaller one farther down the hall

the occasional soft tread of some servant, he twisted himself about in his chair and looked around Who were these Sherrills? Who was Cor vet. and what was his relation to the Sherrills? What, beyond all, was their and Corvet's relation to Alan Conrad to himself? The shock and confusion he had felt at the nature of his recep- ton in Corvet's house, and the strange ness of his transition from his little Kansas town to place and people such as this, had prevented him from inQuiring directly from Constance Sherrill as to that; and. on her part, she had assumed, plainly, that he already knew and need not be told.
 He strengthened and looked about, then got up, as Constance Sherrill came back into the room.
 Father is not here just now." she said. "We weren't sure from your telegram exactly at what hour you would arrive, and that was why waited at Mir. Corvet's to be sure we wouldn't miss you. I have telephoned father. and he's coming home at once."
 She hesitated m instant in the door way, then turned to go out again.
 Miss Sherrill--" he said.
 Si.e halted. "Yes"
 You told me you had been waiting for me to come and explain my con- nection with MT. Corvet. We'll can't do that; that is what l came here hoping to find out"
 She came back toward him slowly.
 What do you mean?" she asked.
 He fought down and controlled resolutely the excitement in his voice, as he told her rapidly the little he knew about himself.
 He could not tell definitely how she was affected by what he said. She flushed slightly. following her first start of surprise after he had begun to speak: when he had finished, he saw that she was little pale. 'Then you don't know anything about Mir. Corvet at all." she said. No; until got his letter sending for me here, I'd never seen or heard his name"
 She was thoughtful for a moment.
 'Thank you for telling me-" she said 'Iu tell my father when he comes" Your father is-?" he ventured. She understood now that the name of Sherrill had meant nothing to him. Father Is Mir. Corvet's closest friend, and his business partner as we'll" she explained.
 He thought she was going to tell him something more about them; but she seemed to decide to leave that for her father to do. She crossed to the big chair beside the grate and seated herself. As she sat looking at him. hands clasped beneath her chin. and her elbows resting on the arm of the chair. there was speculation and in- terest in her gaze: but she did not ask him anything more about himself.

The Ways of Women.

If woman expresses admiration Tor another woman, either she does not admire her, or her husband does not. The woman who bares her shoulders usually has a larger following than the woman who bares her soul. The less women care for clothes. the more clothes they wear.

the station. prlcked Tn Alan s veins, and hastily he dropped the window to his right and gazed out. The lake, as he had known since his geography days, lay to the east of Chicago; :; therefore that void out there beyond the park was the lake or, at least, the harbor A different air seemed to come from it; sounds Suddenly 1t all was shut off; the taxicab, swerving little, was dashing between business blocks; a row of buildings had risen again upon the right; they broke abruptly to show him wooden walled chasm in which flowed the river full of ice with a tug dropping it's smokeStack as it cut below the bridge which the cab crossed; build ings on both sides again; then. to the right, roaring, heaving crashing ex- panSe.
 The sound Alan knew, had been coming to him as an undertone for many minutes; now it overwhelmed swallowed all other sound. It was great. not loud; all sound which Alan had heard before, except the Soughing of the wind over his prairies, came from one point; even the monStrouS city murmur was centered in compari- son with this. Over the lake, as over the land the soft snowflakeS lazily foated down. scarcely stirred by the slightest breeze; that roar was the voice of the water that awful power it's own.
 Alan choked and gasped for breath, his pulses pounding in his throat; he had Snatehed off his hat and, leaning out of the window sucked the lake air in his lungs. There had been nothing to make him expect this overwhelming | crush of feeling. The lake-he had thought of it. of course as great 1 body of water an interesting sight for a prairie boy to see; that was all. No physical experience in all his memory had affected him like this ; and it was without warning; the strange thing that had stirred within l him as the car brought him to the Drive downtown was strengthened now thousandfold; it amazed, half 1 frightened, half dizzied him. Now, as l the motor suddenly swung around q corner and shut the sight of the lake l from him, Alan sat back breathless.
 The car swerved to the east curb about the middle of the block and came to stop. The house before which it had halted was large stone house of quiet good design; it was some generation older, apparently, than the houses on each side of it, which were brick and terra cotta of recent fashionable architecture; Alan only glanced at them long enough to get that impression before he opened the cab door and got out; but as the cab drove away, he stood beside his suitcase looking up at the old house which bore the number given in Ben jamin Corvet'S letter, then around at the other houses and back to that again.
 The ncighborhood obviously pre- l cluded the probability of Corvet's be- 1 ing merely lawyer-a go-between. He must be some relative; the ques- | ton ever present in Alan's thought since the receipt of the letter. but held in abeyance, as to the possibility and nearness of Corvet's relation to him

When Soldiers Rebel

THERE is no question as to the
courage and efficiency of the
i Greek soldier when he is
fighting for a cause dear to him
and is competently led.
But for twelve years large num-
bers of Greek troops have been
kept in miserable wars for OBJ
jectives of not the slightest per-
sonal interest to them.
And so far as any Greek common
soldier could foresee, the future
offered no period to this senseless
sacrifice of manhood and money.
Hence it happens that the Greek
armies in Asia Minor turned tur-
tie on their commanders and forced
an end of warfare by the simple
expedient of refusing to fight.
1t is what the harried and
neglected soldiers of Russia did
five years earlier.
1t is what all conscripted SOL
diers of imperialism may have to
do if we are to get out of the bog
and regain solid ground.

The explanation given in each case has
been that the industry was losing the con-

The Best Business Policy.

'"The hardest thing any executive ever has
to do" declares Frank r. Chambers. chair
man OF the board of the Rogers Peet Com
pany. in Forbes Magazine, 'is to get his peo-
pie TO carry out the policies established by
the heads OF the organization. Not because
they are not willing to- or lack the desire
to do what Is asked OF them, but because
they often find 1t difficult to interpret that
fine sense OF good feeling which he wishes
to pass on to the customer in his desire to
render service. There is an Intangible ele-
ment in making people feel you want to do
all you for them. which is impossible to
explain to a man in words. You can't tell
him how to do it. but you show him.
II he lives in that atmosphere long enough
he is bound to absorb it, He understands by
actual experience just the part he 10 ex-
pected to play, and to act that way becomes
second nature. We like to have every
salesman put himself in the customers
position and frame of mind and then serve
him just he himself would like to be
served under those conditions. We don't
want to overpreach the golden rule, but
the golden rule is good business"

"In the control of empty coal cars

Always it is a good thing for the

Those Debts
in Europe
TORNELIUS VANDERBILT, Jr.,
asked w. R. Hearst: What

asked w. II. Hearst; Wnat
is your idea of the attitude
the United States should take
to the allied debit"
This is Mr.. Hearst's answer:
THE ALLIED DEBT.
My idea of the attitude the
United States should take toward
the debts which foreign nations
owe us is simply the attitude taken
by business men toward any indi-
vidual debtor.
The obligation of the individual
debtor is to pay his debts or 60
into bankruptcy and ignominiously
repudiate them.
The obligation Of the individual
debtor, even if he goes into bank
ruptcy, is to pay as much of his
debts as he can-to pay 100 cents
on the dollar, or rs cents on the
dollar, or so cents on the dollar
according to his assets and ability
to pay.
England is not going into bank
ruptcy-so let her pay her honest
debts dollar for dollar, especially
as the money that was loaned
her by the United States and the
aid that was given her by the
United States meant the preserva-
tion of her very existence, not only
as an empire, but as a nation.
She cannot repudiate the debt
without sounding the abyss of dis
honor-and she will not repudi-
ate it.
WE SHOULD COLLECT.
1t remains merely for US, then, to
collect what is due us in a proper
business manner.
France is in the same condition.
She can pay her debts and she
should pay them.
And furthermore she would be
just as able to pay them as Eng
land if she would keep out of ex-
travagant military expenses, out
of buccaneering expeditions, and
out Of reckless financing of the
military establishments of Poland
and >ther nations, in her campaign
of imperialism.
We fought and we spent our
money to make the world safe for
democracy.
1t is no part of our business, no
part of our principles, to finance
the imperialistic junkets of foreign
nations, either by giving them
money for that purpose or lending
them money for that purpose.
Let us keep free from foreign en-
tanglements, both political and
financial, and let us collect the
debts that are due us as soon as
possible, in or Ter to be wholly free
as soon as possible from these Eu-
ropean complications.
