After eight year* of married life,
Mark Sabre di ’over-, that he had
cut himself off from human sym
pathy and appreciation. His pro
saic and snobbish wife, Mabel, fails
to understand his poetic tempera
ment. At the firm of hsu tune, East
and Sabre, School and chun-'i out
fitters, Sabre is undermined by
jealousy and a partnership, once
promised to him, is promised to an
associate. Twyning. Suddenly one
who understan Is him returns to his
life. This is Nona, an old sweet
heart, now th? wif • of the dashing
Lord Tybar. Sabre learns that she
is unhappy with Tybar and Nona
teds him that she rhose wrong: “I
ought to have married you, Marko.”
The bleach between Mabel and Sa
bre widens. Then Sabre learns
that Twyning his become a part
ner.
Go On With the Story.

Sabre remained standing at his
desk. He had a tiny ball of paper in
his hand and he rolled it round be
tween his finger and thumb, round
and round and round and round
. . . In his mind was a recollection ■ j
“You have struck your tents and
are upon the march.”
He thought, “This has been com
ing a long time . . . It’s my way of
looking at things has done this. I’m
getting so I’ve ,nowhere fto turn.
It’s no good pretending I don’t feel
this. I feel it most frightfully . . .
It was rottenly done. Behind my
back. Plotted against me, or they
wouldn’t have sprung it on me like
that. This frghtiul feeling of being
alone in the plac >. More empty at
home . . Ano now there's tins.
. . . ‘You have struck your tents
and are upon the march' . . . Yes.
Yes ...”
He suddenly recollected Nona’s
letter. He took it from his pock ■(
and opened it; and the second event
was discharged upon him.
S’ne wrote from their town house.
“Marko take me away—Nona.”
Hi- emotions leapt to her with most
terrible violence. He felt his heart
leap against his breast, as though
engine of his tumult, it would burst
its bonds and go to her. He struck
his hand upon the desk. He said
aloud, “Yes! Yes!” He remembered
his words, “If you ever feel you can’t
bear it. tell me.—Tell me.”
He began to write plans to her. He
would come to London ’tomorrow
. . . She should come to the station
if she could; if not. he would be at
the Great Western Hotel. She could
telephone him there and they could
arrange to meet and discuss what
they should do . . . He would like

Presently he drew him <lf up to
the table and began to write, writing
very slowly because his hand trem
bled so. In half an hour he blotted
the few lines on the last sheet:

The news of Tuesday morning
caused him at six o’clock in the
evening to have been standing two

Market Square gazing towards the

A great murmur swelled up from
the waiting crowd, a great move

County Times offices. On the first
floor balcony men apepared dragging
a great board faced with paper, on
the paper enormous lettering. The
board was pulled out endways. The
man last through the window took ;
step forward and swung the letter;
into view.

Sabre said aloud, “My God! War!'
As a retreating wave harshly with
drawing upon the reluctant pebbles
there sounded from the crowd ai
enormous intaking of breath. An
instant's stupendous silence, the
wave no’sed for return. Down! A
shattering roar, tremendous, word
less. The figure of Pike, the editor
:u neared uuon the balcony, in his

caught the roar as it were by the
throat, stopped it and broke it out
anew on a burst of exultant clamor.
A Union Jack. He shook it madly
with both hands above his head. The
