trality Of two European States. One
was Belgium. which was armed, and
the other vas the Grand Duchy Of
Luxembourg. which was unarmed.
but through which he had 10 pass in
order 70 reach Belgium and France.
II didn't take long TO go through
Luxembourg. A little handful OF
troops could not do much to stop the
Eray-clad horde.
A delightfully."- sleepy little town is
Luxembourg. Americans will per-
haps best understand the sleepiness
Of the place when they grasp the
fact hat there IS not ven a movie

ways a service in the cathedral. and
one may visit the tomb Of Luxem-

handful who opposed the march Of
the Kaiser and who fell while do

Luxembourg clings tenaciously TO
the things that were For example,
the visitor must be careful how he

notice in each Don warns him that
the use Of the light for more than
ms hour will bring a. extra charge
In his bill. the amount TO be deter

best 20 go out and view the city.
The city is surrounded on three
sides by the deep valleys Of the
Petrusse and the Alzette rivers.
There Is a lower town. down In the
valleys Of these streams. and the
upper town. more p~retentious. though
no more picturesque. ii is in the
newer part OF the upper town that
me encounters Woodrow Wilson
street. and away off in a corner
stands a dingy little building calling
itself the Hotel Chicago. IL is at
the corner OF a street called Joseph
Junk.
The Grand Duchy OF Luxembourg
has a curious political history. II was
freed from all connection with Ger
many by the treaty OF Versailles and
Immediately afterward by plebiscite
chose Belgium as its protector. but
only by a narrow margin. as France
vas the choice OF many voters. The
language Of the state is French and
was such before the war. but many
OF the inhabitants speak a low Ger.
nan patois. But the country was
always Gallo in its sympathies.
As | have said. there isn't much
70 do In the way OF amusements in
the city. but one may find easily sew
eral restaurants where excellent food
and a glass OF good wine may be had
at a reasonable price. Luxembourg
has not vet learned to tap the golden
stream that Is supposed 10 pour forth
or demand from Americans.
The Cathedral is very beautiful. II
Is worth a trip to the little state to
see 1t and to hear the beautiful music.

While my anger shook me, I
counted anew the grievances against
my employer which the last hour
had brought me. He had tried to
kiss me-there "a no other inter.

Dicky to terminate. He had gone
into the hotel dining room. an I'm

cause ! had brought Mr.. Seibel 10
the table TO discuss details or the
party ] was giving for Mary. and.
finally. he had put his hand over
mine in the caressing fashion Of
avowed lovers.
The mental recount took but the
fraction OF a second, and before I
had finished ! vas on my feet, my
face white. my body trembling. but
my voice controlled and low.
