"He he would have killed you," she -said tremulously, ber face the picture -of combined agony and relief. She re membered the blighting kisses and then the averted disaster.

"That I had not been offended!" she .gasped, standing stiff and straight, with eyes glued upon the obedient guard. "Yon were not?" he rapturously cried.

Find some excuse to give your friend and go today! Go ' now!" she cried intensely, first putting her bands to her temples, then to ber eyes. Without waiting to hear his remon strance, if Indeed he had the power to utter one, she gilded Bwiftly toward the curtains, allowing him to follow at his will. Dazed and crushed at the sudden end to everything, he dragged his footsteps after. At the door she spoke in low, Imperative tones to the motionless Allode, who dropped to his knees and muttered a reverential re sponse. As Lorry passed beneath the hand that held the curtain aside he glanced at the face of the man who had been witness to their weakness. He was looking straight ahead, and from his expression it could not. have been detected that he knew there was a man on earth save himself. In the hall she turned to him, her face cold and pale. "I have faithful guards about me now. Allode has said he did not Bee you In the throneroom. He will die Before he will say otherwise," she said, her Hps trembling with shame. "By your command?"

An hour later the two Americans, one strangely subdued, the other curi ous, excited and impatient, stood be fore the castle waiting for the carriage. Couut Halfont was with them, begging them to remain, as he could see no rea son for the sudden leavetaklng. Lorry assured him that they bad trespassed long enough on the court's hospitality and that he would feel much more com fortable at the hotel. Anguish looked narrowly at his friend's face, but said nothing. He was beginning to under stand. "Let us walk to the gates. The count will oblige us by instructing the coach man to follow," said Lorry, eager to be off. "Allow me to join you in the walk, gentlemen," said Count Caspar, imme diately Instructing a lackey to send the carriage after them. He and Lorry walked on together, Anguish lingering behind, having caught sight of -.the Countess Dagmar. That charming and unconventional piece of nobility promptly followed the prime minister's example and escorted the remaining guest to the gate. Par down the walk Lorry turned for a lost glance at the castle from which love had banished him. Yetlve was standing on the balcony, looking not at the monastery, but at the exile. She remained there long after the carriage had passed her gates bearing the Americans swiftly over the white Castle avenue, and there were tears in her eyes.

Before the Morecco Crisis Great Brit aln Made Three Distinct Over turee to France. Paris, Oct. 14. The French govern ment continues silent concerning tk' alleged revelation of Great Britain'! offer of naval and military aid tc France if Germany assumed a belliy erent attitude over Morocco. In the meantime the newspapers add new phases to the disclosures. The Figaro gives a detailed version even more sensational than the pre vious report of Great Britain offerin i to mobollze her navy and land British troops in Germany Is not correct, bt:t that the actual occurrence is about n( follows: Before the Morroco crisis became acute the British government mad! three distinct overtures to learn II France was disposed to conclude t treaty of defensive alliance. France declined to consider the question. Later, when the Moroccan crisis be came acute, Paul Cambon, Frenct Ambassador to Great Britain, reop ened the question and obtained a verb al assurance from Foreign Secretary Lanedowne of Great Britain's effective concourse In the result of a condagfa tlon. The German Ambassador In London Count Wolft-Metternleh, learned ot these assurances and informed Berlin. Emperor William decided on a counter move and made Italy the medium ol its explanation. He informed Italy that any treaty whereby Great J3rlt ain gave Franco military support rela tive to Morocco would constitute a casus belli. The Figaro asserts that this amount d to an indirect ultimatum and that the Italian government communicated the situation to M. Berrere,, the French Ambassador to Italy, who in formed Parts, Juno 4. Immediately thereafter M. Delcasse resigned (June: 5), as a result ot a violent scene In a cabinet council. During this council M. Delcasse Is alleged to have said. 1 have a formal aesuraaoa of Great Britain's support Premier RoovleT Is reported as ans wering;! "And I have If. Berrere's telegram proving that this means war If we continue our policy. I refuse to Indorse what you seem to treat so lightly." The other ministers are said to have upheld M. Rouvter, whereupon M. Del casse resigned. The foregoing version Is chiefly im portant la the allegation that Great Britain sought for and promised a military defensive alliance against Germany. Later a seml-oSlcIal note was Issued, saying that the published reports up on the Incidents accompanying the resignation of M. Delcasse and notably the details regarding the cabinet coun cil preceding Mb resignation, ore in correct.

"I believe there Is a market here for American goods, but they should be handled by Americans directly repre senting the shippers, who Bhould close ly follow the style and quality of goods demanded In this market The market here, like others, must be carefully watched and competed for. Then there will be a gradually increasing trade between the, two countries, but It cannot be developed suddenly. "Some previous statements regard ing the Oriental trade have been ex aggerated. It Is very much like trade elsewhere and needs care In competi tion.

As to social clubs of men, there are two 'classes of members the positive and tho negative. In an organisation of a thousand members you will find, probably, nine - hundred aiid ninety nine negatives and one positive. This one positive Is seldom the president but nearly always tho treasurer or sec retary. It is he who regards the club as his home, his family, his wire and children. His whole heart Is wrapped up in Its success. He brings In the new members and Is always on hand to shoulder burdens which tho nega tives willingly Impose upon him. Ho never rebels, never protests, never com plains. A club Is a community of self ish Interests, as a rule, and every self ish negative agrees with every other selfish negative that such and such a man is the ideal secretary, treasurer or manager. A good secretary or treasurer is seldom promoted; be is too useful. New York Press. One of. the Cln.rer. A man Is but a cluster so the great human grapevine. He begins to dry up the moment he is cut off from his fellows. There is something in the sol idarity of the human race which can not be accounted for In the sum total of ail the individuals. Separation from tho mass involves a mighty loss of power in the individual, just as there Is a loss of cohesion and adhesion In volved In the separation of the mole cules and atoms of the diamond. Tho value of the gem Is In the close contact, the compactness and the concentration of the particles which compose it Tho moment they are separated its value is gone. So a strong, effective man gets a large part of bis strength from the vital connection with his fellows. Suc cess Magazine. Founded; on Berrlna Bones. Dutch monopoly of the North sea fishing grounds during the seventeenth century brought such wealth. and pros perity to Amsterdam that the capital of Holland was popularly said to be founded on herring bones.
