FLORENCE.
At eight o'clock to the dot of his
dollar watch Browne walked up the
steps Of the Ioyne residence. The
door was opened by a butler before
he reached it. Florence was wait
ing for him. She squeezed his
hand, and without word led him
into an adjoining room.

George Hoyne had arisen from his
chair and he now stepped forward
and grayely- almost sternly-
shook hands with Browne. The
Young man turned and went
through tho same ceremony with
Mrs, Hoync. Florence stood by his
side, smiling.

and now the faintest kind of a
smile played on his lips, while there
were little wrinkles in the corners

she intends to marry you. So be it,
She has always had her own way,
and I never knew her to make a

FLORENCE is the most remarkable
girl in the world, Mr. Hoyne."
"She is, Mr.. Browne" replied the
steel magnate; and | am glad you
appreciate the fact.
THE fact that you have been a
chauffeur does not cut any figure at

my business career very humbly.
Fortunately you will not be obliged

Browne was ready TO leave Bates

thought himself of the last words
Florence Hoyne had said to him.

drew forth an envelope. Breaking
the seal, he found a check for one

and slip Of paper on which was
written
"Whatever YOU do ! am in on it.
The little rascal" he murmured.
"She is behind this whole thing"
Browne left the Office a few min

useless to attempt to sleep, in spite
of his long vigil, because his brain
was on fire So he started back to

as soon as he got clear OF the thick

Claim Ireland
Is On Verge Of
Civil Warfare

London, March 1.-(By Asso-
ciated Press)-Dangers OF the sit
uation in Ireland are emphasized
by the morning newspapers, sew
eral of which take the view that
little more will be needed to start
actual civil war. Sniping between
the entrenched forces on either
side of the Ulster border has been
going on for several days and
yesterday machine guns were re-
ported to have been brought into
action. Meanwhile disturbances
occur throughout the six county
area of Ulster.
Moderate opinion in the south
favors joint action by the north
ern and southern governments to
relieve the tension on the border,
according to the Times Dublin
and 1t is hinted
elsewhere that the earnest confer
ence between Arthur Griffith and
Michael Collins yesterday was
partly concerned with the posi-
bility Of securing such action. 1t
was thought this must involve a
preliminary meeting of Mr.. Col
lins with Premier Sir James
Craig of Ulster.
Reports of murder, incendiar-
'sm and other outrages in the
north districts, where the tension
between the Protestants and Cath
olics is most severe, take much
space in the newspapers.
