if not recommended for promotion

mediately subsequent to the report of
the board, an amendment was made
to the law which provided for retire
mcnt by reason of service ineligibility
for promotion, and as q consequence,
some few officers, who might other
wise have been retired during the
year, have been continued on the ac-
tive list while others, younger in
years, We're retired on June 30, 1926.
On that date, five captains, two COM
manderS and five lieutenant com.
manders were compulsorarily retired
and the incident vacancies were inn
mediately filled, whereas, under the
old law, the vacancies because of in
eligibility for promotion would have
been created on varying dates
throughout the year as the Ineligible
officers reached the retiring age.
There was an informal agreement
made between the Navy Department
and the naval committees, that all
officers retired in 1925 would be contin-
ued on the active list until the dates
they would otherwise have been re-
tired for age, provided such dates did
not extend beyond period of one
year. 1t is the understanding that
this agreement is applicable only to
those retired in 1926, and that the off,
GERS who may be placed on the retired
list on June 80 of this year will then
be relieved from active duty.

1t was at that moment that he felt

and settle in his brain. The part he
himself had already played in the
situation began to dawn on him.

"Of cours,. there're a way" he told
her.
But he was not so sure of it.
One of the bonds had already been
sold. 1t might escape Identification

might already have been recognized,

When presently she realized that
nothing fell but a silence. she looked
up at him again.
From the bank, don't you under

But he still looked blank.
He had never heard of their

who had thought all the world knew
of it. But the mere telling of the
facts seemed to ease her,

as if, by sheer virtue of being man,
he would know what to do.
He did the only thing he could
think of. He picked up the candle
and held out his hand.
What are you going to do?"

him, with the strangest look he had
ever seen on her face.
"Please go back" she said. 'I'm
quite all right"
You don't look all right" he told
her roughly. And this place is cold.

So Mrs. Bayne had had no business

she had added to Holly's worries, as

himself to a very fair passion. so that
sleep was out of the question later
on. He got up, and, in his dressing
gown and slippers, sat in the chair by
the hearth. a cigarette in his hand

the odor of burning carpet.

He stepped out into the upper hall
and listened There was a door to
the attic staircase, a door which was
always religiously kept closed.
But now it was open, and thin
light trickled down, outlining the
doorway in the surrounding darkness.
A recollection of another night
when he had stood, there came to
him, a night when Margaret had
given up the battle between family
pride and happiness, and had laid her
self down to rest on the cold linoleum
in the kitchen.
1t made his heart faint within him.
There had been a sort of quiet despair
in Holly's face that afternoon, as if,
at last, she, too. had reached the end
of the road.
He ran up the stairs and into the
attic room.
There was a candle on the floor,
