The Count von Werdensteln looked at the scene helplessly. For the first time In his lite he realised how puny ho was. He looked for the eagle, but It had disappeared. Boats were put out at once to res cue those who had not been killed by the explosions; but the experiences of that day had spread terror over the whole fleet and the eSect was demor alising. The Count von Werdensteln ordered all the commanders to gather at the flagship, for he felt that he had to de cide on some action. He paced the bridge of the Brigltta. The navy *nd army under his command, that he hml thought great enough to conquer the whole world, had been defeated by a single man. When the council of war began the count stood to talk, but before he said a word a message from one of the transport boats was banded him.

A man doesn't like "fussy" things, but he’ll appreciate a bit o' handwork on the front of hla silk shirt. Ask him! No, don't—surprise him! If you are afraid that you can’t make the shirt entire, buy one from his haberdasher.
