It would be interesting to know what the story was
that George Marco Of Schenectady, n. Y, carried to
his grave with him.
Marco recently died. IN his sos. After his death II
was discovered that he had been a Civil War veteran
with a distinguished record-a fact that he had kept
secret throughout his life. For 40 years he had had
q Job In q Schenectady armory. He watched the SOL
diers march off to the war with Spain. and he watched
them march of for the war with Germany: but he
never revealed TO any OF them that he, too, had been
q soldier.
why did he keep that secret? Service In the Civil
War Is something that most men are highly proud Of.
What hidden reason made George Marco keep his war
record a dark secret throughout his life?

The British Challenge to Peace

The British government declines absolutely To build
warships against the United States. saws Premier
Macdonald.
II that statement IS true. then BY making a similar
statement, based on truth. the United States can nut
an end to vast expenditures on big navies for many
nations.
For the simple fact is that the great navies IN The
world today represent merely the building of Great
Britain against the United States, and vice versa.
we hear a great deal about building what we
need providing adequate defense" without refer
ence to what others do. And 1t is all poppycock Of
the purest ray serene. For what we need. and our
adequate defense. are in direct proportion to the
power Of the BsSish navy. and British needs are IN
direct proportion to our strength.
There is only one other navy in the world That
compares with the British and American navies, and
that Is the Japanese navy. IN capital ships It is. rs
fixed by the treaty. just three-fifths as strong rs he
American or British navy: and its total expenditures
for the coming fiscal year will be hardly more than
one-third what America win tpend.
The menace Of naval armament. the most rerious
threat in the world to permanent peace. Is kept alive
solely by Britain and America.
Japan is economically unable to maintain The havy
she has. much less to enter into further building
competition. She knows her own limitations. rs was
demonstrated by her acceptance Of q three-fifths
standard for herself. She would never have admitted
permanent inferiority If she had not realized that thy
other course would have ended in still greater relative
fnferiority for her.
Britain must make good the words Of her premier
BY deeds. OF course. But II she comes to us aow With
q real program Of naval reduction, based on q rea-
sonable plan Of parity. then the friends Of peace N
this country must act in unison and force TO zee that

All our miitarists will charge against the plan. #
course: all our jingoistsc press win rave in fury. The
idea OF giving up one ship or one gun or one instru-
ment of destruction Of any kind is bound to produce
vertigo in many quarters.
We must expect that. and be prepared for u. II
Great Britain IS indeed ready TO back up talk Of peace
with acts OF peace. then the time most certainly has
come for us to do the same.

CHAPTER AZ

Chatty didn't understand herself.
III was queer and very disturbing to
think a great deal about herself and
not be able TO know why she did
certain things.
She confessed freely to her mir
ror that she loved David Jordan de-
votedly. She would have been per-
fcctly willing to lie down In the
street and let him walk on her, If
II would nike him happy.
Yet she chung TO Winnie and to
Bryant and went with him often:
not as often as at first when he had
demanded every night in the week.
but several times in each seven
days.
When she was with him, she was
half happy, half content.
Unless something was said that
made her think of David. She tried
to put David out Of her mind when
she was with Bryant.
But David had an uncomfortable
way Of coming before her mental
eyes. One night. IN a dark road,
parked for conversation, a cigar
cite and a little pettting an amaz-
ing thing happened.
Bryant had just slipped an arm
around her and drawn her close to
him.
You are so sweet. little onel' he
murmured hts lips ~caressing her
hair. Il" he turned her around
fiercely, and kissed her.
Just as his lips pressed hers.
Chatty thought Of David. And by
some miracle OF mind, 1t was not
Bryant, but David who held her in
his arms: not Bryant's smooth
shaven and carefully massaged and
dolled-up face. but David's much
rouRher cheek under her hand.
Under the moon. in the shadow
OF the trees Of the infrequented lane
II was David who made love 10 her,
caressed her, held her tight-tight-
Chatty's return Of Bryant's kiss
was so unusually loving. SO much
what he had hoped for, and SO sur
prising. that he started back from
her-then gathered her into his
arms againl

girl, I want you"
But the spell was broken. It was
