The Greater Love
By VIRGINIA TERauNE VAN DE
 WATER
A NEW ROMANCE
CHAPTER LvII.

CHAPTER LVu.
 Ruth Grant went upstairs with Beatrice Lang. The mother had paused in the front door long enough to pat her sons cheek and to ask him If he felt all right. The girl had passed him with a little nod. Beat rice Lang. noting this had to admit to herself that this country girls bearing toward the young man in- dicated indifference rathes than any actual feeling of like or dislike.
 "A consummate little actress if she was hoping to land himp the woman of the world unused. Perhaps, after all, she is not hurt"
 Not that Beatrice Lang's conscience accused her of streachery or wrong doing. It was too well trained for that Indeed, she had sensation of having acquitted herself well in a rather dangerous situation. All risk was now past and she could con gratulate> herself that her tactics had been crowned with success. Never theless, she would not relax her vigi- lance. eE
 Now that all is we'll will not al- low anything to go wrong," she re- solved.
 Ruth hesitated at the head of the stairs. In her absorption she had forgotten an order to Martha She made as though to retrace her steps; then, seeing Kenneth standing in the lower hall, she thought better of 1t.
 Martina she called as she heard the maid go into the dining room, the door of which stood open.
 As Martha, obeying the summons, came out into the hall, the young mistress gave an order.
 A Place for pr. smith
 Please put another place at the table for pr, Smith, He is going to stay for supper?"
 '.All rlghtssdearie. Which side will I put it?" the maid asked.
 Next to me-on my right" was the prompt reply.
 Mrs. Lang usually sat on Dr. Grants right. Hitherto her son had occupied the seat directly opposite her. The new arrangernent would place Kenneth at the left of the host, while Nat Smith would be be- twen him and the young hostess.
 Mrs. Lang wondered if Ruth had purposely moved the ex-invalid from her side. so that no tete-a-tete would be possible between the pair. But she made no comment.
 Kenneth, hearing the order. set his 
 sawbones" would stay away. He, Kenneth, had gone all of the after nobn in the strength of his prospec- tive talk with Ruth this evening. And now Smith was to be here for supper, and later would take the girl for a drive.
 Had Ruth forgotten her promise to walk with him If so, she could not care as much about the coming in- terxiew between them as he did.
 Perhaps she had only accepted Smiths invitation@as a blind, to pre- vent her father and Kenneth's mother from suspectfng the truth In that case, she would. of course, make 1t possible for Kenneth to talk with her when young Smith was at his office after supper.

 Kenneth Lang was sadly puzzled. Ruth Grant had never shown any signs of being a flirt-until tonight. Now she seemed to be playing Smith off against himself.
 But, of course, she was not, he reflected. He trusted her enough to know that there was some reason for her strange behavior. He would learn for himself what 1t was.
 What had his mother said to her this afternoon during their drive to- gether?
 Could any mention have been made Sof Victoria?
 He found himself in an unfortu- nate predicament. He could not speak disparagingly of his mothers verac- ity to this girl. Yet--he could not leave her tomorrow under a false impression.
 The quartet repaired, as usual, to the veranda when supper was over Nathaniel Smith remained close by Ruth. Kenneth thanked his stars when at last the telephone bell rang and Martha announced that Dr. Smith was wanted. When the young phy- sician went to answer the summons, Kenneth stepped quickly to Ruth's side. At that moment Mrs. Lang and Dr. Grant happened to be engaged In conversation.
 Ruth" Kenneth began in a low voice, "have you forgotten our en- gagement for this evening""
 She looked at him inquiringly. "Our engagement" she repeated.
 Yes" he hurried on. Have you forgotten that I asked you to go for walk with me?"
 Playing . Part. But I did not accept" she said, That Is, I asked If we all three you. your mother and I-could go. When Mrs. Lang declined, I let the matter drop"
 But you know I invited you-not my mother" he accused.
 The girl raised her eyebrows.
 Even so, I did not accept" she reiterated.
 But I must see you-must have a talk with you-this evening"" he insisted. Ruth" imploringly, have I displeased you in any way?"
 Certainly not" she replied. "The fact that I prefer driving on this W that I am displeased with you. Why should I be?'
 "Something has changed you," he declared. Wont you give me . chance to talk with you? Even if 1t can be only for the little while that pr. Smith IS at his office. He has just had a call--and will probably go away for half hour or so."
 But at that instant Nathaniel re- turned to the veranda. Just mes- sage from one of my patients ask ing me to call the first thing tomor- row morning!" he said joyfully. T feared 1t was a summons from my landlady. She very sensibly told the chap who telephoned that l was here"

PROTEST MADE AGAINST
TURKEY BY ENGLISH

LONDON, April 12.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press)-Great Britain pur-
poses entering an energetic protest
against the granting by the Turkish
Nationalists OF certain concessions
in Anatolla to the American inter-
ests headed by Rear Admiral Colby
NJ. Chester. IL these concessions are
found TO embrace the Mosul oil
fields, 1t was declared here today.
1t lie generally believed in London
that in it's present form the Chester
agreement with the Turks differs
materially from the original Turko-
American convention, although no
exact details have been received
from Constantinople. British infor-
nation Is. that the present Am erican
plan is concerned chiefly with the
opening UP of Anatolia by an ex-
tensive railway system and the
granting as payment OF property
rights upon a large scale.
In view of the official protest al
ready made by France against these
commitments to Americans as be-
ing in contravention Of the Franco
Turkish railway and ports agreement
of 1914 it is considered certain the
whole subject will be aired at the
approaching peace conference in
Lausanne.

LIONS CLUB HAS
PLEASING TALK
Col. Carleton Speaks on Ma
tional Defense--AIs0 Nu-
triton Work Given

Lieutenant Colonel William A.
Carleton of the United States Army,
executive officer, 309th Reserve In
fantry. Camden, N. J., was the prin-
cipal speaker at the weekly lunch
con of the Lions Club in the New
Packer House today. Colonel Garlic
ton spoke from the subject, Nation
al Defense, Why and How"
Throughout his address Colonel
Carleton showed the defense neces-
sary against liberalism, socialism,
Marxianism and all other isms now
being imported from the other side
of the Atlantic.
He declared that the country
should not wait until war is upon
us before taking action to ward it
off, as has been the system followed
in the past, as it is both a waste of
men and money, to build up a ma
chine such as this country does and
as soon as the war is won, destroy
it and revert back to the former
condition of unpreparedness.
Colonel Carleton, briefly outlined
the history of the wars as regarded
preparedness and showed by con-
elusive arguments that proper pre-
~paredness for national defense would
have prevented every war we have
had. In closing he urged the sup
port of the Citizens Military Train
ing Camps.
Another feature of the session was
the showing of a motion picture de-
plotting the stages of tuberculosis
from the time disease is discovered
in a patient until a cure has been
affected. The picture was shown
in connection with the work done by
the Middlesex County tuberculosis
League. Miss Jane Packard, secre-
tary of the league, spoke on the ne
cessity Of having a sanitarium for
the fighting of this disease in this
county and requested any assistance
the club might be able to give.
Professor Mark r. Letter, who
showed the picture, told of the nu-
triton work being done in School
No. 8.
Merritt McAlinden was chairman
Of today's session.

the three arrivals reported.
Following OK trails when there

they had covered thirty miles in the
