CHAPTER XXI Reckoning Day That year parliament sat until well into August, and house of commons went to grouse moor or sea stretch carrying with them the uncomfortable assurance which Mr. Barthelemy had just brought ovcr from Paris. And for the time being Hilda Tressingham said nothing to put hcr innocent friend in remembrance of them. X ~ A~.. Again she regarded hhn with grave. j^ their presence would be requir- attention. "I guess," she said at last, "I guess you've piles of money, haven't you?" "Heaps," replied King laconically. "Since 1 S3W you I've come into a big fortune. And I had one before. Also, I don't waste my money," "You're the sort of man Barthele-' mv likes to get hold of," she.said re- fle'ctiyely. "Well���������I'll sec what can be done. Vou wouldn't do anything rash'" fd at St Stephen's again in the first week of October. George and ���������-Letty Ellington went to the Yorkshire moors, T^rhere Ellington senior, and his son rented . a small shooting. Hilda Tressingham visited them there forNi week towards the end of the recess. Since the night of their joint visit to the Amaranth Club she particularly mentioned nnaa, going daCk vo or two before parliament rc-assembl ed, was rung up on the telephone by von Roon, who asked hcr to go round to Shaftsbury Avenue at once. She found him and the inscrutable Mctz in the midst of heaps of luggage. '-I am only back from Homb'urg this very morning," announced von Roon, taking her into his business . "f" X wom; "We have not bee members ot tne> two hours. AH the same,.'I wanted to see you at once." "Well, I'm here," replied Hilda, taking the least dusty chair. "What isVit?". -. .. ���������,.������������������������������������.

"There's no hurry' {of it. She had not seen anyone at "None," replied King. "Ta-ie vour j the ciut> %vho would be. likely to tell time, Lydia. Consider matters. {George that his wife had been seen "I'm considering them now, she, +hmm-*- ���������������������<������.j���������ptiHv. ������������������ *-*- -i'l r������m ���������*- never admits anybody until he knows all about them." - "He can know all he likes about me." said King. "I'm a somewhat eccentric young man about town, rich, with a taste for seeing the curious, the out-of-the-way, the bizarre things of life. That's all. Except that I inherited the fortune made by my respected parent, the Bermohd- sey tanner, that I've come into another fortune made by a maternal ���������.uncle who cultivated sugar in the West Indies, -and that, while I'm generous and benevolent, I've got a very- shrewd idea of things, and know jolly well how to take care of my money. And talking about money re- .��������� minds me that I owe you another three hundred, and here it is." Lydia took the notes which King handed to her and put them where she had put their forerunners. "All right," she said. "Conic and see me again���������a we*ek today. But, oh, Bannie King���������it's an awful risk we're running!" "You 'didn't use to be short of pluck," remarked King. "It'll do you good to rc-assert some of it." Then he went away, meditating on what he had learned. Run Barthelemy down to justice he would, no mat ter what it cost. It was a dangerous game, no doubt; but it was a good game and an exciting one, and it just suited his temperament. Hc was going to lay aside all else for it, until he won or���������lost. Next day hc began his course at the medicated bath establishment. Hc saw nothing that he would not have seen in any similar well-regulated establishment. Hc was received with courtesy by the suave attendant; he paid fees which were in character with the high-class appearance of the place; he was scrupulously attended to.

David # Lloyd George, speaking at a meeting held iu London" recently, for the purpose of launching a campaign for greater national economy, said in part: "I am not going to predict when the end of the" war will come. No man ih his senses would prolong # it one hour if there were opportunity for real and lasting peace. " (Loud applause). But it -must be a lasting peace. (Loud applause). It must not be a. peace which is a prelude to a new and nVpre devastating war "At you may imagine,. 1 have been scanning the horizon anxiously. I cannot see any terms in sight which wpuld lead to an enduring peace. I , feel thsit the only terms which would be possible now would be teims which would end in an armed truce��������� I^will say an arming truce ending in even more frightful struggles. "That is why we.are putting all our strength into getting thc right issue into this conflict now (Cheers). But I may be asked the question, Is such a settlement1 'within immediate reach? I have already told you that in my judgment frankly it is not. Germany in niy judgment would onlv make peace now on terms which woulel enable her to benefit by the var in which she has wantonlv plunged the world. That would mean that Germany would profit by her own wicked venture and it would be an encouragement for any buccaneering empire of thc future to repeat thc experiment. "More than twice as many German submarines were lost in thc first ten months of this year as in all of last -'j ear, the premier asserted. Thc British tonnage lost monthly ^now is- not much more, than one- third -of the total destroy-**! last April. V s-'V''V'V''V:;:y .- "t.: '. ���������"��������� >��������� '��������� Mr. Lloyd George said that "Boloism" in all its shapes and forms should be looked out for. -.'.{ "Beware of .people who try to .sow dissension; distrust .and suspicion," he said. "The enemy is trying to rattle our nerves. Keep steady and wc will, win." V. The way to shorten the war, said Mr...Lloyd George, was to prepare for a long war. He added : The premier said eyes '���������-must' be kept steadfastly on the great purpose' of the war, which was destruction of the false ideal; which would have intim'idatcd and enslaved Europe if it had-triumphed. "Our real enemy," he continued, "is the war spirit fostered in Prussia. There .would bi no peace in thc world until the shrine of thc war spirit in Potsdam is shattered pnd its priesthood is dispersed and is dis- , ci edited forever." Thc premier said hc had hoped the enemy's terrible power might bo broken thia year, but that lhc temporary collapse of thc Russian military power had postponed this hope. But time was on the side of thc air lies, he said. 'Time oh<;c was. neutral but two things have changed this, ,namo1y, thc advent of America, and the' iticrc.ar.ihg failure'of the German submarine war. The war, said the,premier, was terrible in itself, but more terrible in the possibilities-it revealed of new horror** on land and sea and in the air. It must bc settled now, once for all, he declared. If thc war should be renewed after thirty years more of..'. ticknlific application it would ior.-in l.:(s di";.l*li c.S dvU.7."t.1c.n. T*.rntc force miiflt he dethroned forever. To realize what thc advent of America meant,.thc premier went oh, It waa necessary only to look hack oil thc rapid growth of the little British army. America was now fitarthig, and itn renources in man power were twice those of Britain. British shipbuilding, said the premier, ban incrcancd fourfold, and America had done likewise. Germany laughed at the war declarations of China and other nations, but these declarations tneant that most of the world's food and raw materials were under the flags of r Germany's enemies, which could reduce txerniany to impotence and desolation. Dr. rtt P, Ex-cannibal's Regret Cecil * Wilson, elected Bishop __ _������_nbury������ Australia, formerly held the See of Melanesia, which comprises what used to be called the "Cannibal Islands." There he had for a servant a young native who, before his conversion, had been a cannibal. One day the bishop received among presents from home, a tin of sheep's tongues, on wliich he made a raid for his luncheon. The boy looked on, his mouth watering, but with perplexity writ large on his face. He afterwards confessed, that he thought the tongues were human, and that his espiscopal master had relapsed into cannibalism." The dish leminded him of a delicacy which Lad .been the delight of his unregen- eiatc days.���������London Daily News. British Air Service Progress iu Construction of Aircraft During-; the War A recent English writer on thc use of aircraft-in war says: "The Royal Flying corps went lo_war with about" eighty-two., machines in passably good conditio*!; they were -dependent upon France for engines aud upon Germany for magnetos. The Belgian army had about thirty efficient aeroplanes, and ihe^French between 500 and 600. Germany took the field with more than 600 two- scatcd aeroplanes designed throughout for war set vice, besides "hundreds of slower units for training and other purppses. She had strategically placed on the frontiers twenty- one flying grounds illuminated by powerful lighting systems���������in one case a 27,000,000 canjile power revolving electric flash���������for use in night flying, while a year later British pilots attacking Zeppelins had to be content with petrol flares in buckets for lighting the landing places. A month before the war German and Austrian officers visited the concentration caciD at Netheravon. and carefully noted the British strength in aircraft. From this picture the' writer turns to the progress in British aeroplane contsruction during the war���������we "built hundreds in the first year of the war, thousands in the second, many thousands in the third, and had in view -plans for th* production of tens of thousands in the fourth." They Cannot See the Point y Strange Grievance of Germany Against the United States Germans are not 'saying as much nowadays as formerly about our sales of ammunition to the allies, but they still cling to the" curious notion that by those sales we wrere guilty of prolonging thc war and increasing its- slaughter. What they meaa 'when they say that is that, because of supplies bought in this country, France and England were not conquered as easily as, in German opinion, they, would have been otherwise, and many Ger- man, lives have in. consequence been lost. The possibility that there are advantages in this���������that it, would not have been good for .the world to havc Germany quickly victorious���������does not occur to the Germans^ and probably it never will. Only,this week the president of the reichstag sneered at the use of thc word "humanity" by President Wilson���������"thc man who had the power* to preserve hundreds and thousands of lives by preventing the export of munitions and war material fi*om America lo the entente." This is surely the strangest of grievances to bc presented by men in so many ways intelligent.���������From ihe Neyr York Times.

Should a Laurierite grow bold enough to endeavor to show you that his leader has a chance to triumph on Monday, here are a few figures that may be of some service to show him the error of his reasoning. , At the last federal election, six years ago, in round numbers the Conservatives polled 670,000 and the Liberals 624,000 votes, xj-6- spite the number of men overseas it is, pretty safe to say that the natural increase in the voting strength in six years should make the number of votes liable to be polled on Monday about equal to 1911. For arguments sake we will admit that 25 per cent, of this Tory vote is slacker, or against the government for any reason whatsoever; by cutting this off you brings the nominal Tory vote down to 502,000. And for the same sake of argument we wiii say that oriy 25 per cent, of the previous Liberal vote has turned'Unionist, the defects of these gentlemen brings the Liberal vote down to 468,000. ou add these respective ,-rhrini--* n t*^Stmm*.tm*.

Reckoning Day That year parliament sat until well into August, and members of the house of commons went to grouse ] moor or sea stretch carrying with them the uncomfortable' assurance j that their presence would be required at St. Stephen's again iu the first week of October. George and Letty Ellington went to -the -Yorkshire moors, where Ellington senior, and his son rented a small shooting. Hilda Tressingham visited them there lor a week towards the end "of the recess. Since the night of theii* joint" visit ��������� to the Amaranth Club she had never particularly mentioned that stirring episode to Letty; it she did refer to it, it was as a joke. Letty, however, considered it to be little more than a joke, and sheyon her part, had never spoken of -it to her husband. She had decided, after some anxious thought and consideration, that George would never hear., of it. She had not seen anyone at the club who w-ould be likely to tell George that his wife had been seen t-kj-li������r+%% AT ������* Tl *������ -t-tt-l-k a1 Am *������f li n et met brought over from Paris. And for the time being Hilda Tressingham said nothing to put her innocent friend in remembrance of them. Hilda, going back to town a day or two before parliament re-assembled, was rung up on the telephone by von Roon, "who asked hcr to go round to Shaftsbury Avenue at once. She found him and the inscrutable Mctz in the midst of heaps of lug- gaffe. "I am only back from Homburg this very morning," announced von Roon, taking her into his business room. "Wc have not been in here two hours. All the same, I wanted to sec you at dice.1" "Well, I'm here," replied Hilda, taking thc least dusty chair. "What is itr" ' Von Roon dropped into the chair at his desk. She .thought him looking very fit and strong; he had lost annmtm (lf>oU X. v .... ���������I'm considering them pow," she. there; consequently, she remained -said.

"I'm a somewhat eccentric young man about town, rich, with a taste for seeing the curious, the out-of-the-way, thc bizarre things of life. That's alL Except that I inherited the fortune made by my respected parent, the Bermond- sey tanner, that I've come into another fortune made by a maternal uncle who cultivated sugar in the West Indies, and that, while I'm generous and benevolent, I've got a very shrewd idea of things, and know jolly -well how to take care of my money. And talking about money reminds me that I owe you another three hundred, and here it is." Lydia took the notes which King banded to her and put them where she had put their forerunners. "All right," she said. "Come and see mc again���������a week today. But, oh, Bannie King���������it's an awful risk we're running!" "You didn't use to' be short of pluck," remarked King. "It'll do you good to re-assert some of it." Then hc went away, meditating on what hc had learned. Run Barthelemy down to justice he would, no mat ter what it cost. It was a dangerous 1 game, no doubt; but it was a good game and an exciting one, and it just suited his temperament. Hc was going to lay aside all else for it, until hc won or���������lost. Next day hc began his course at the medicated bath establishment. He saw nothing that he would not havc seen in any similar well-regulated establishment.
