CHAPTER XXXIV .
• The First Day
Neeland had undressed, bathed
his somewhat battered body, and
had then thrown himself on the
tied, fully intending to rise a few
moments and await breakfast.
But it was a very weary young
man who stretched himself out for
ten mirtutes’ repose. And. again he
unclosed his eyes, the austere clock
on the mantel informed him that It
was five —not five in the morning
either.
He had slept through the first
day of general mobilization.
Across the lowered latticed blinds
late afternoon sunshine struck
red. The crests of the chestnut trees
m the rue Soleil d’Or had turned
rosy; and a delicate mauve sky,
so characteristic of Paris in early
autumn, already stretched above
the citv like a frail tent of silk
from which fragile cobweb clouds
hung, tinted with saffron and
palest rose. . ,
Hoisting the latteen shades. he
looked out through lace curtains
into the most silent city he had
ever beheld. Not that the streets
and avenues were deserted: they
swarmed with hurrying, silent peo
ple and with taxicabs.
Never had he seen so many tax
icabs; they streamed by every
where, rushing at high speed. They
passed through the rue Soleil d Or;
the rue de la Lune fairly
whizzed with them; the splendid aye
nue was merely a vista of flying
taxis; and in every one of them there
was a soldier.
Other-wise, except for cyclists,
there seemed to be very few soldiers
in Paris —an odd fact immediately
noticeable.
Also there were no omnibuses to
be seen, no private automobiles, no
electric vehicles of any sort except
great grey army trucks trundling by
with a sapper at the wheel.
And, except for the whiz and rush
of the motors and the melancholy
siren blasts from their horns, an im
mense silence reigned in the streets.
There was no laughter to be heard,
no loud calling, no gay and animated
badinage. People who met and stop
ped conversed in undertones; ges
tures were sober and rare.
And everywhere, in the intense
stillness, Red Cross flags hung
motionless in the late afternoon sun
shine; everywhere were posted no
tices warning the republic of general
mobilization —on dead walls, on tree
boxes, on Kiosques, on bulletin
boards, on the facades of public and
, ecclesiastical buildings.
Another ordinance which Neeland
could read from where he stood at
the window warned all citizens from
the streets after 8 - o’clock in the
evening; and on the closed iron shut
ters of every shop in sight of his

| window were pasted white strips of
paper bearing, in black letters, the
same explanation:
"Ferme a cause de la mobiliza
tion.”
Nowhere could he see the word
“war” printed or otherwise displayed.
The conspiracy of silence concerning
it seemed the more ominous.
Nor, listning, could he hear the
sinister voices of men and boys call
ing extra editions of the papers.
There seemed to be no need for the
raising of hoarse and threatening
voices in the soundless capital. Men
and youths oi all ages traversed the
avenues and streets with sheafs of
fresh, damp newspapers over their
ragged arms, but it was the populace
who crowded after and importuned
them, not they the people; and no
sooner did a paper-seller appear than
he was stripped of his wares and
was counting his coppers under the
trees before hurrying away for a
fresh supply.
Neeland dressed himself in sec
tions, always returning to the win
dow to look out; and in this manner
he achieved his toilet.
Marotte the old butler, was on
the floor below, carrying a tea tray
into the wide, sunny sitting-room a»
Neeland descended.
“I overslept,” explained the young
American, “and I’m nearly starved.
Is Mademoiselle Carew having tea?”
“Mademoiselle requested tea for
two, sir, in case you should awake,”
said the old man solemnly.
Neeland -watched him fussing
about with cloth and table and sil
ver.
“Have you any news?” he asked
after a moment.
“Very little, Monsieur Neeland.
The police have ordered all Germans
into detention camps—men, women,
and children. It is said that there
are to be twelve great camps for
tnese unfortunates who are to as
semble in the Lycee Condorcet for
immediate transportation.”
Neeland thought of Use Dumont.
Presently he asked whether any mes
sage had been received from the
Princess Mistchenka.
“The princess telephoned from
France at four o’clock this afternoon.
Mademoiselle Carew has the mes
sage.
Neeland, reassured, nodded:
“No other news, Marotte?”
“The military have taken our auto
mobiles from the garage, and have
requisitioned the car which Madame
la Princess is now using, ordering us
to place it at their disposal as soon
as it returns from Havre. Also,
Monsieur le Capitaine Sengoun has
telephoned from the Russian embas
sy, but Mademoiselle Carew would
not permit monsieur to be awakened.
"What did Captain Sengoun say?”
“Mademoiselle Carew received the
message.”
“And did anyone else call me up?”
asked Neeland, smiling.
“Il y avail une fe—une espece de
dame,” replied the old man doubt
fully, “ —who named herself Fifi la
Tzigane. I permitted myself to ob
serve to her,” added the butler with
dignity, “that she had the liberty of
writing to you what she thought
necessary to communicate.”
He had arranged the tea-table. Now
he retired, but returned almost im
mediately to decorate the table with
Cloth of Gold roses.
Fussing and pottering about until
the moss of lovely blossoms suited
him, he finally presented himself to
Neeland for further orders, and,
learning that there were none, start
ed to retire with a self-respecting
dignity that was not at all impaired
by the tears that kept welling up
in his aged eyes, and which he al
ways winked away with a demi-tour
and a discreet cough correctly stifled
by his dry and wrinkled hand.
As he passed out of the door Nee
land said:
“Are you in trouble, Marotte?”
The old man straightened up, and
a fierce pride blazed for a moment
from his faded eyes:
“Not trouble, monsieur; but —when
one has, three sons departing for the
front—dame!—that makes one reflect
a Tittle —” -ij
He bowed with the unconscious
dignity of a wider liberty, a subtler
equality which, for a moment, left
such as he indifferent to circum
stances of station.
Neeland stepped forward extending
his hand:
“Bonne chance! God be with
France—and with us ail who love lib
erty. Luck to your three sons!”
“I thank monsieur—” He steadied
his voice, bowed in the faultless gar
ments which were his badge of serv
ice, and went his way through the
silence in the house.
Neeland had walked to the long
windows giving on the pretty bal
cony with its delicate, wrought-iron
rails, and its brilliant masses ot
geraniums.
Outside, along the avenue, in abso
lute silence, a regiment of ciiir; ssiers
was passing, the level sun blazing
like sheets of crimson fire across
their helmets and breastplates. And
now. listening, the far clatter of
their horses came to his ears in an
immense, unbroken, rattling reson
ance.
Their gold-fringed standard pass
ed, and the sunlight on the naked
sabres ran from point to hilt like
liquid blood. Sons of the Cuirassiers
of Morsbronn, grandsons of the Cui
rassiers of Waterloo —what was their
magnifictnt fate to be? —For splen
did it could not fail to be, whether
tragic or fortunate.
The American’s heart began to
hammer in his breast and throb in
his throat, closing it with a sud
den spasm that seemed to confuse his
of the germs that cause the dis
ease. S. S. S. has no equal as a
blood cleanser, scores of sufferers
say thrt it has cleansed their
blood of Rheumatism, and remov

vision for a moment and turn the
distant passing regiment to a glit
tering stream of steel and flame.
Then it had passed; the darkly
speeding torrent of motor cars alone
possessed the Avenue; and Neeland
turned away into the room again.
And there, before him, stood Rue
Carew.
A confused sense of unreasoning,
immeasurable ■ hhppiness rushed over
him. and, in that sudden, astounding
instant of self-revelation, self-amaze
ment left him dumb.
She had given him both her slim
white hands, and he held to them
as though to find his bearings Both
were a trifle irrelevant and frag
mentary.
“Do you c-care for tea, Jim? . . .
What a night! What a fright you
gave us. . . . There are croissants,
too, and caviar. ... I would not
permit anybody to awaken you; and
I was dying to see you ”
“I am so sorry you were anxious
about me. And I’m tremendously
hungry. . . . You see, Sengoun and
I did not mean to remain out all
night. . . . I’ll help you with that
tea; shall I? . . .”
He still retained her hands in his;
she smiled and flushed in a breath
less sort of way, and looked some
times at the “tea-kettle as though she
never before had seen such an ob
ject: and looked up at him as though
she had never until that moment be
held any man like him.
“The Princess Naia has left us
quite alone,” she said, “so I must
give you some tea.” She was nerv
ous and smiling and a little fright
ened and confused with the sense of
their contact.
“So —I shall give you your tea,
now,” she repeated.
She did not mention her manual
inability to, perform her promise,
but presently it occurred to him to
release her hands, and : 13 slid grace
fully into .-her chair and took hold of
the silver kettle with fngers that
trembled.
He ate everything offered him, and
then took the initiative. And he
talked—Oh, heaven! How he talked!
Everything that had happened to
him and to Sengoun from the mo
ment they left the rue Soleil d’Or
the night before, this garrulous
young man detailed with a relish for
humorous circumstances and a dis
regard for anything approaching the
tragic, which left her with an im
pression that it had all oeer a tre
mendous lark —indiscreet, certainly,
and probably reprehensible—but a
lark, for all that.
Fireworks, shooting, noise, and
architectural destruction he admit
ted, but casualties he skimmed over,
and of death he never sai 1 a word.
Why should he? The dead were
dead. None concerned this young
girl now—and, save one, no death
that any man had died there in the
shambles of the Case des Bulgars
could ever mean anything to Rue
Carew.
Some day, perhaps, he might tell
her that Brandes was dead —not
where or how he had died—but
merely the dry detail And' she
might docket it, if she cared to, and
lay it away among the old, scarcely
remembered, painful things that had
been lived, and now were to be for
gotten forever.
The silence of intensest interest,
shy or excited questions, and the
grey eyes never leaving his —this
was her tribute.
Grey eyes tinged with golden
lights, notv clear with suspense, now
brilliant at a crisis, now gentle, won
dering, troubled, as he spoke of Use
Dumont and the Russian girl, now
charmingly vague as her mind out
stripped his tongue and she divined
something of the sturdy part he
had played—golden-grey eyes that
grew exquisite with her pride in
him, tender with solicitude for
him in danger already passed
away this was her tribute.
Engaging grey eyes of a girl with
the splendour and mystery of wom
anhood possessing her attracting
him, too, fascinating him, threaten
ing, conquering, possessing him —
this, the Greek gift of Rue Carew,
her tribute.
And he took all, forgetting that
the Greeks bore gifts; or, perhaps,
remembering, rejoicing, happy in his
servitude, he took into his heart and
soul the tribute this young girl of
fered, a grateful, thankful captive.
The terrible cataclysm impending,
menacing the world, they seemed
powerless, yet, to grasp and com
prehend and understand.
Outside, the street rippled and
roared with the interminable clatter
of passing cavalry; the girl looked
Into the eyes of the boy across the
tea-table, and her young eyes, half
fearful, yet enchanted, scarce dared
divine what his eyes were telling her
while his hurrying tongue chattered
irrelevancies.
Three empires, two kingdoms, and
a great republic resounded with the
hellish din of arming twenty million
men. Her soft lips were touched
with the smile of youth that learns
for the first time it is beloved; her
eyes of a child, exquisite, brooding,
rested with a little more courage
now on his—were learning, little by
little, to sustain his gaze, endure the
ardour that no careless, laughing
speech, of his could hid or dim or
quench.
In the twilight of the streets there
was silence, save for the rush of
motors and the recurrent trample of
armed men. But the heart of Ruth
Carew was afire with song—and ev
ery delicate vein in her ran singing
to her heart.
There was war in the eastern
world; and palace and chancellery
were ablaze. But they spoke of the
west —of humble places and lowly
homes; of still woodlands where
mosses edged the brooks; of peace
ful villages they both had known,
where long, tree-shaded streets slept
in the dappled shadow under the
sun of noon.
Marotte came, silent, self-respect
ing, very grey and tranquil in his
hour of trial.
There were two letters for Nee
iand. left by hand. And. when the
old man had gone away bearing his
silver tray among his heavier bur
dens:
He read them both aloud to her:
the first amused them a little —not
without troubling them a little, too:
Monsieur Neeland:
It is the Tzigane, Fifi, who per
mits herself the honour of address
ing you.
Breslau escaped. With him went
the plans, it seems. You behaved
admirably in the Case des Bulgars.
A Russian comrade has you and
Prince Erlik to remember in her
prayers.
You have done well, monsieur.
Now, your task is ended. Go back
to the.western world and leave us
to end this battle between ourselves.
It is written and confirmed by the
stars that what the eastern world
has sown it shall now reap all alone.
We Tziganes know. You should
not mock at our knowledge. For there
is a dark star, Erlik, ngmed from
the Prince of Hell. And last night
it was in conjunction with the red
star, Mars. None saw it; none has
ever beheld the dark star, Erlik.
But we Tziganes know. We have
known for five thousand years that
Erlik hung aloft, followed by ten
black moons. Ask your astrono
mers. But we Tziganes knew this
before there ever were astronomers!
Therefore, go home to your own
land, monsieur. The Prince of Heli
is in the heavens. The Yellow Devil
shall see the Golden Horn again.
Empires shall totter and fall. Little
American, stand from under.
Adieu! We Tziganes wish you
well —Fifi and Nini of the Jardin
Russe.
“Adieu, beau jeune homme! And : —
to her whom you shall take with you
—homage, good wishes, good augury,
and adieu?:!”
“ ‘To her whom you shall take with
you’,” he repeated, looking at Rue
Carew.
The girl blushed furiously and
bent her head, and her slender fingers
grew desperately busy with her hand
kerchief.
Neeland. as nervous as she, fumbl
ed with the seal of the remaining let
ter, managed finally to break it.
glanced at the writing, then laughed
and read:
My dear Comrade Neeland:
I got my thousand lances! Con
gratulate me! Were, you much bat
tered by that canaille ilast night? I
laugh until 1 nearly burst when I
think of that absurd bousculade!
That girl 1 took with me is all
right. I’m going to Petrograd! I’m
going on the first opportunity byway
of Switzerland.
What happiness. Neeland! No more
towns for me, except those I take.
No more politics no more diplomacy!
I shall have a :d l-inces to do
my talking for me. Hurrah!
Neeland, 1 love you as a brother.
Come to the East with me. You shall
make a splendid trooper! Not, of
course, a Terek Cossack. A Cossack
is God’s work. A Terek Cossack is
born, not made.
But, good heavens! There is other
most excellent cavalry in the world,
I hope! Come with me to Russia.
Say that you will come, my dear com
rade Neeland, and I promise you we
shall amuse ourselves when the
world’s dance begins
“Oh!” breathed the girl, exasperat
ed. “Sengoun is a fool!”
Neeland looked up quickly from his
letter; then his face altered, and he
rose; but Rue Carew was already on
her feet; and she had lost most of
her color —and her presence of mind,
too, it seemed, for Neeland's arms
were half around her, and her hands
were against his shoulders.
Neither of them spoke; and he was
already amazed and rather scared at
his own incredible daring—already
terribly afraid of this slender, frag
rant creature who stood rigid and
silent within the circle of his arm,
her head lowered, her little, resisting
hands pressed convulsively against
his breast.
And after a long time the pressure
against his breast slowly relaxed; her
restless fingers moved nervously
against his shoulders, picked at the
lapels of his coat, clung there as he
drew her head against his breast.
The absurd beating of his heart
choked him as he stammered her
name; he dropped his head beside her
hot.and half-hidden cheek. And, aft
er a long, long time, her face stirred
on his breast, turned a very little
toward him, and her young lips melt
ed against his.
So they stood through the throb
bing silence in the slowly darkening
room, while the street outside echoed
with the interminable trample of
passing cavalry, and the dim capi
tal lay like a phantom city under the
ghostly lances of the searchlights
as though probing all Fleaven to the
very feet of God in search of reasons
for the hellish crime now launched
against the guiltless Motherland. •
And high among the planets sped
the dark star, Erlik, unseen by men,
rushing through viewless interstel
lar space, hurled out of nothing; by
the Prince of Hell into the nothing
toward which all Hell is speeding,
too; and whither it shall one day fade
and disappear and pass away for
ever.
“My darling ”
“Oh, Jim—l have loved you all my
life,” she whispered. And her young
arms crept up and clung around his
neck.
“My darling Rue—my little Rue
Carew ’
Outside the window an officer also
spoke through the unbroken clatter
of passing horsemen which filled
the whole house with a hollow roar.
But she heard her lover’s voice alone
as in a hushed and magic world; and
sounds that stirred a heavenly quiet
that reigned between the earth and
stars.

tice of withdrawal by the United
States, can be given by a concurrent
resolution by the congress of the
United States.
Third —-The United States under

covenant, and that no question which
depends upon or involves this policy
is to be submitted to arc! ration or
inquiry by the assembly or the coun

immigration, coastwise traffic, the
tariff, commerce and all other purely
domestic questions, but these ques
tions, in whatever manner they may
arise, are solely within the jurisdic

not by the covenant submitted in
any way, either to arbitration or to
the consideration of the council or

congress of the United States.
Fisth —The United States under

purpose of coercing any other coun

Cotton Association
Urges Farmers to
Hold for Advance
The following statement hah been
issued from the headquarters of the
Georgia division of the American
Cotton association, from its offices
in the senate chamber of the state
capitol:
“The American Cotton association
is glad to note that the farmers
are not selling their cotton, as a
number of them did at the first of
the season. According to long cus
tom, many farmers sell the first
bale that is picked, regardless of
price. These first-bale sales now be
ing over, it is gratifying to ob
serve that the farmers are stand
ing steady and refusing to sell any
more cotton at the present price.
“We cannot too strongly urge the
cotton growers to hold tight to their
cotton until fair prices, fixed by this
association at New Orleans on Sep
tember 9, of 36 cents for September,
and increasing half a cent a month
until 40 cents is reached in May,
1920, is obtained. No one questions
the reasonableness of the prices
fixed in comparison with any other
commodity now being sold.
“On account of the destruction of
thousands of bales of the present
crop by the boll weevid, floods and
other causes, the crop will without
doubt fall far below the published 1
estimates, and ■with a tremendous
demand, both from the European and
American mills, there is no reason
why farmers cannot get a fair price
for their cotton as agreed upon at
the New Orleans convention.
“Please note hte following quota
tion from the official bulletin of the
Federal Reserve bank under date of
September 25: ‘Constant rains and
the boll weevil have greatly injured
the Georgia and Alabama cotton crop
since last report. Reports from a
large number of counties indicate
only half a crop, and in many in
stances estimates range from 40 per
cent down as low as 25 per cent.
In the southern parts of these states
the damage is particularly severe.’
“Our message is, hold tight—you'll
get more!”
“Aunt Rose” Brady
Gets Divorce One Day
And Marries the Next
MOULTRIE, Ga.—The day after a
jury in Berrien superior court
awarded he£ a final divorce decree,
Mrs. Brady, seventy-eight years old,
was married to William Peacock, a
man about her own age, according
to news just received in Moultrie.
Mrs. Brady was a widow with
several children when she married
Jackson Brady. They did not live
together very long. In her petition
Mrs. Brady charged her husband
with cruel treatment. Brady did
not contest the suit. During the
course of the trial Mrs. Brady was
frequently referred to by her at
torney as “Auntie,” which she did
not seem to mind. She is perhaps
one of the oldest women ever to sue
for a divorce in the state. Imme
diately after receiving her final de
cree, “Aunt Rose” said she probably
would marry again as she was not
at all daunted by the failure of her
last venture. Her friends were
greatly surprised, however, when
she got married the very next day.
Wheat Shorts Seized
By U. S. Marshal
MOBILE, Ala., Oct. I.—Four hun
dred sacks of wheat shorts were
seized here late Tuesday afternoon
by the United States marshal follow
ing the issuance of a writ from the
federal district court at the instiga
tion of Assistant District Attorney
Harry A. Pegues, acting under or
ders from the attorney general’s of
fice in Washington. The seizure was
made under the federal pure food,
laws, the bill of complaint alleging
that the products were adulterated
by the manufacturers.
The grain product was in posses
sion of the Young Grain company, of
Mobile, who it is said bought a car
load shipment of the shorts from
the Peerless Milling cqmpany, of
Cairo, 111. The Young Grain Compa
ny is not named in the writ issued
through the fede.al court, the pro
ceedings having started in W shing
ton following an analysis of the
products of the Illinois concern by
government chemists.
Banana Crop Badly'
Damaged in Storm
MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 30.—Damage
to the banana crop in the Bocas Del
Toro and Costa Rican plantations,
known as the Changuinola district,
by the recent hurricane was enor
mous, according to officers of fruit
steamers arriving at this port from
that district.
The hurricane there was preceded
by torrential rains which caused the
fruit trees to go down in the sixty
mile wind which followed. Entire
fields of trees were flattened out,
it is said, and it will be a month
or six weeks before new fruit will
be gathered there.

higher.”
Orvis Bros. & Co.: “Should the market
break, a fine opportunity will be presented
tor long commitments.’’
Hirscu,-Lilentlial & Co.: “Pending tomor

ueless.”
E. \V. Wagner & Co.: “We cannot take
an optimistic view on values at present rul
ing prices."
Maury, Rogers & Co.: “Two government
reports tomorrow may prove to have been
discounted, but we feel that it would be
sound policy to buy on any reactionary de
cline.”
Fond. McEnany & Co.: “A very bullish
government report is expected, and it ought
to prevent any material decline unless spot
cotton is pressed for sale."
Cotton Gossip
The Tmies-Picayune says: The market
yesterday was marking time waiting for the
bureau reports due today. The first will be
tlie census bureau, showing the amount
ginned to September 25. This report will
be published at about the time of the open
ing and is expected to show total ginnings
of less than 2,000,000 bales, against 3,771,-
000 last year. An hour later the depart
ment will make public the condition aver
age on September 25, as well as a state
ment of the acreage abandoned this season.
The delay to shipping due to the British
railway strike, and the consequent possibil
ity that exports may be temporarily inter
fered with, the spot demand continues good
in southern markets. With the first effect
of the bureau report out of the way, the
market will probably be Influenced by
strike news and by the character of the
spot demand.
Weather and crop developments will also
without doubt exert considerable influence.

Took “French Leave” of
France to See 111 Parents
Because going home as a stow
away constitutes absence without of
ficial leave, Private Thomas H. Gor
man of the One Hundred and Sixth
ambulance train is facing court-mar
tial. But • because of extenuating
circumstances, officers at Hoboken
are inclined to believe that the court
will be lenient with him.
Gorman dives at Lima, Ohio. He
fought in several battles and was
slated for return with his unit last
June. Illness kept him in a hospi
tal at Brest.
While there he received word of
the serious illness of both his father
and mother. His father is eighty
four and his mother seventy-four.
Both had become ill worrying about
their son’s condition. Time and
again he was marked among those 1
to return, and each time came an
order directing that he remain.
“I couldn’t stand it any longer,”
he said, when he stepped from the
the transport Siboney under guard
at Hoboken last week. “I decided to
go home, anyway. I walked aboard
the Siboney with other casuals. The i
government owes me some money,
but I don’t want it if I can only go I
home and see my folks.”
Librarian Finds Many
Very Queer Bookmarks
Forrest B. Spaulding, public libra
rian in Des Moines, la., has found so
many queer bookmarks in the vol
umes returned to his library that he
is thinking of adopting the study of
bookmarks as his hobby.
He has acquired quite a collection,
the only one that he has refused
heretofore to add to his collection
being a strip of underdone bacon left
as a marker in one of the books.
Other bookmarks found are hair
pins by the hundreds, kodak pictures,
letters, potscards, and even a bath
ing suit—one of the soft, thin, abre
viated kind—left by a young lady in
a book.

Government Sends
Trade Men to South
To Increase Exports
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—T0
sist the south to take its place .in
the rapidly .growing export trade of
the country, the government, through
the department of commerce, has
sent a trade commissioner into the
southern states to Investigate tiie
possibilities and show manufacturers
and exporters the opportunities in
foreign markets. With the port of
New Orleans ranking second in the
country’s foreign trade, an increased
business there is anticipated as well
as through the other growing ports
of the south where facilities are
ample to handle a much larger pro- i
portion than at present of the coun- ’
try’s foreign commerce, which now
exceeds $10,000,000,000 yearly.
The government’s representative,
a native of the south, is Trade Com
missioner Garrard Harris, who will
arrive at Birmingham today. Later
he will go to Mobile, where tempora
ry headquarters first will be located
and then to New Orleans, afterwards
visiting other cities. First moves
will be made in the Birmingham-Bes
semer district and its tributary ter
ritory.
Turtle Seven Feet Long
Is Landed at Portland
PORTLAND, Me., —A sea turtle'
of the loggerhead species, said to
be the largest brought to this port

The turtle weighed more than 1,- I
600 pounds, measured nearly seven
feet in length, and had an “extreme
beam” of about four feet across the
back. Between the tips of the huge
fins the turtle measured twelve
feet. It was sold to a wholesale
