Berlin.-The official quarters here

continued rebuffs from the passive
resisters.
The mine situation is expected to
become critical in the course of the
next few days, because rolling stock
no longer is available in the same
quantities as previously, which fact
is likely to result in the overstocking
of coal at the mines. Whether the
French will be able to haul away the
accumulated output is being strongly
questioned. as the Germans have
moved much of their rolling stock into
unoccupied Germany to prevent its
seizure.
The Governments latest adviees
from Essen indicate rigorous proce
dure on the part of the French and
Belgians throughout the occupied
zone, where wholesale arrests of Ger
man officials are taking place. which
are promptly followed by strikes in an

The telegraph, telephone and postal
employees at Essen walked out in a
body as protest against the arrest
of six officials who declined to accede
to French orders.

that previous liberty of expression had
ceased and were threatened with sum

Probably the best founded reason
for prejudice against cold-storage

recognizes the "cold storage taste"

several months, and is especially no

poached. The flavor is not so marked
in the white as in the yolk, which con-

known that fats have an affinity for

that the cold storage taste is due to

In the supposition that he was TO

pulses had been due his first privi-
leges, showed toward him more con
strained attitude the following MORN

Avery constantly did, nor. indeed
was there any evidence of retrogres-

she avoided him. Eaton understood
that Santoine, steadily Improving but
not yet able to leave his bed, had
taken up his work again, propped up
by pillows; one of the nurses had
been dismissed; the other was only
upon day duty. But Eaton did not
see Santoine at all; and though he
learned that Miss Davis or another
stenographer, whose name WAS West,
came daily to the house, he never was
In a position again to encounter any
outsider either coming or going.
\ AASAS was ho iooll loi AIa-
ton to doubt that Harriet had the con-
fdence Of her father to almost a com
plete extent. Now that Santoine was
Ill, she worked with him daily for
hours; and Eaton learned that she
did the same when he was well. But
Avery worked with the blind man too (;
he, too. was certainly In confidential
capacity. Was 1t not probable then
that Avery, and not Harriet, was en-
trusted with the secrets Of dangerous
and ugly matters; or was 1t possible
that this girl, worshiping her father
as she did, could know and be sure
TINT, because her father approved
these matters, they were right2

the bronze antique vase; he seemed
to have taken something from the
vase and to be examining 1t. She
halted again to watch him; then she
went on, and he turned at the sound
Of her footsteps. She could see, as
she approached him, what he had
taken from the vase, but she attached
no Importance to It; 1t was only a
black button from a woman's glove
one Of her own, perhaps, which she
had dropped without noticing. He
tossed It indifferently toward the open
fireplace as he came toward her.
"Father wants to see you. Mr..
Eaton" she said.
He looked at her intently for an
instant and seemed to detect some
strangeness In her manner and to
draw himself together; then he fol-
lowed her up the stairs.
