A Story of Married Life REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By Admit Gurisoa Whaf aa Impudent Wink Disclosed lo Madge. ' Ilod Harry Underwood recognized me? Thia waa the question that bent against my brain as I sat, disguised by Lillian Underwood's clever fingers as a Latin-American woman in the cafe where Lillian, Katherine Sonnot and I bad come in quest of Grace Draper. We bad aeen ber enter the cafe with Harry Underwood, had realized tlrtt Al len Drake was the person for whom ber restless eyes had been searching, snd had witnessed her dismissal of Harry Underwood, evidently in search of some one who knew Allen Drake and could introduce him to her. And when Harry Underwood had passed our table I bad forgotten to lower my eyes, and had seen in bis a flash which was afraid was that of recognition. He bad not slackened his pace, nor given shy other Indication that he saw HUN'S DEBT TO WORLD something more than humiliation was stirring her heart. For if Lillian's suspicions were true and Grace Draper were a secret agent of our country a enejiies, it wis most probable tbat Harrry Underwood alio had become that most despicable of all things, a traitor to the laud of his birth. And Lillian, I am aure, was high in a service safeguarding our country. It might become ber duty to track down the man whosa name she bore. No wonder even her brave heart faltered at the possibility. It wasn't in Lillian to falter more than an instant, however. In another moment she was herself, and when Harry Underwood again passed our table in animated conversation with a man of about his own age, there was not the flicker of an eyelash on he part, nor, I flatter myself, on mine, at bis proximity. "I don't know the chap mvaeli," I heard Harry Underwood's familiar deep tones rumble as he passed us, "but the In me anj one save the middle.aged "M,c ,niy'' " an idia that ' "ome South American woman my" appearance i """" lo'a a" 10 " "p, CHEN GERMANY BEGINS TO COUNT the cost of its III rash attempt to take charge of the world it will have some bigfigures to handle. Apart from the actual expenses of the war its debt to other countries will make a formidable showing. n item is the money it has exacted in tribute from Belgium, a total of $500,000,000, as statistics now show. In addition it has wantonly destroyed Belgian property of enormous value, not ; yetully estimated; has stolen art treasures so valuable that no price has ever been put upon them, and has carried away im- tnense quantities ol macmnery ana maienuia. !' All this debt must be paid when the day of settlement ar rives or the world will be dissatisfied. No adequate recompense ean be given for the loss of life, the outrages and the suffering Inflicted upon the Belgians, but Germany should be made to pro vide for all the widows and orphans and other victims of its mon strous crimes against an innocent people. Germany will also have some debts to pay to neutral coun ts tries. A federal court decided recently that the Raiser's govern ment was financially responsible for loss of life and property of ' Americans on the Lusitahia. This of course applies to other American losses caused by U-boats before we entered the war, ind the total sum. of these damages will be large. Wherever proofs are gathered that German agents were guilty of destruc . tion of munitions and other war material by explosions before we were at war and there were many such occurrences the losses will doubtless be added to the bill for collection. Other neutral countries will have a big damage account ready Norway, Spain and several South American states that tlid not declare war until late. Now that belief in final victory t Is gradually sippearing from the German mind, thoughts will 7 be turned to' the cost of the war, and if the calculation proves ap :' palling, what wonder t But Germany must pay. THE TOWN OF METZ ELEGRAPH DESPATCHES announce that Metz is under fire of American guns. This capital of Lorraine was the battle ground that spelled disaster for France. One writer de scribing the town states : "As the allied troops are striving for Metz the mind wan ders back nearly a half century when this capital of Lorraine on the Moselle and its environs was the battle ground that spelled disaster to France. Visions of Colomby-Borny, Mars-la-Tour, Gravelotte and St. Privat arise where the German hordes were swept by the French todnado, but proved victors at last at the siege of Metz. The court-martial of Marshal Bazain, command ing the French forces, led to his condemnation, and only his age saved him from condign punishment. The blunder made then led to Sedan. To the fall of Napoleon, the siege of Paris and to the rape of Alsace-Lorraine, the most beautiful province of France, for which she is bleeding now and whose redemption is in sight with the aid of her courageous allies. Metz is a first class fortress town and episcopal see of Germany at the radia tion of lines of Luxembourg, Coblenz and Noveant. Its general appearance is quaint and irregular, but it has a number of mod ern, handsome streets. The Moselle flows through it. In the southwest corner of the town is the esplanade, with an eques trian statue of Emperor William I. and monuments of Prince Frederick Charles and Marshal Ney. Of the ten city gates the Porte d'Allamagne, erected in 1445 and still bearing traces of the siege by Charles V. The cemetery of Chambiere contains the graves of 7,200 French soldiers. It has nine Roman Catholic and four Protestant churches, the most notable being the Catho lic Cathedral, begun in the thirteenth century and consecrated in 1546. Among the secular buildings the most important are the Town Hall, the Palace of Justice, the theater, the governor's house and various military buildings. As a fortress Meti has always been of the highest importance, and throughout history until 1879 it had never yielded to any enemy. It now ranks with Strassburg as one of the two great bulwarks of the west frontier of Germany. Metz dates back to the Roman period called by the Romans Mediomatricia, from which Its present name has been contracted. "The siege of Metz, 54 days, during which the private bouses and hospitals were crowded, smallpox and dysentery were epidemic and contant wet weather prevailed during the siege, indicated. And, wisely or unwisely, I decided to say nothing to Lillian about my fears. For a wonder she hadn't noticed my momentary fright as bis eyes met mine. As I stole a swift fur tive glance nt her I noticed that her un derlip was caught between her teeth in a cruel grip, and that ber eyes were watching the retreating back of the man for whom she bad done so much, the man who was still legally ber husband. Lillian's Herself Again. I knew that there was no real love existing in Lillian Underwood's heart for the man aha bad married after her first tragic inaritni experience. She and Harry Underwood had joined their exist ences in a sort of friendly, comfortable compact to patch up each other's rather battered lives But while Lillian bad loyally kept her side of the bargain I knew that Harry Underwood had been anything but a loyal husband. And at last he had brutally and caddishly de serted her, giving aa his excuse that he could not stand the presence in their home, or ratter in Lillian's for I had a shrewd guess aa to whose money gave most support to their establishment of little .Marion .Morton, Lillian's daughter by her first husband, from whom Kb? had been cruelly separated for years. But even though love waa absent from Lillian's heart, she bad been the faith ful wife, the true comrade of the man who had just passed ber, going to do the bidding of the beautiful creature he had broiayht to the cafe, who had evi dently come with bim from South Amer ica. 1 knew what bitter humiliation was Lillian's portion, guessed also that. and nothing will do her but to meet him." "I shall be most pleased," the other man assured him, and then they hail reached the table and Grace Draper waa amiling an acknowledgment of the introduction Harry Underwood made. I, watching Allen Drake, saw hin start imperceptibly, and then into those keen gray eyes there flashed a look which held mirth in it I was very sure. It was only a flash I caught, for the next instant the womanish eyelashes veiled his eyes again and he went on with the conversation with his compan ions. But that he knew as well as Grace Draper herself the plan she had made to meet him I was sure. Harry Underwood's Eyes. . She managed tbe thing very well, however, I was forced to admit, and so did the man Harry Underwood had brought to their table. For a good 10 minutes 'he appeared absorbed in the conversation of the beautiful woman at bin side. Then, carelessly raising his eyes, he csught aight of Alien Drake, and bis start of recognition was ad mirably done. It was but a few moments after tbia that Allen Drake was standing beside Grace Draper'a table, talking In his in dolent but attentive mannir to her. while she, I could see, was using all her battery of feminine charms in her effort to interest him. I was so ab sorbed in watching them tbat I did not realise that I was myself welng watched. And then I caught Harry Underwood's malicious eyes full upon me, and saw hioi drop his left eyelid it an impudent wink. ' IMCBIiyiWS JUNCTION CITY Junction City. Or.. ', 21.

It is understood, also, that the navy department will soon be In tbe market fur between 1,000,000 to 1,500, 000 pairs of regulation shoes. Govern ment shoe and leather experts are mak ing a .survey of the leather market to determine tbo available supply of mer chandise necessary in connection with these orders, spedficationa for which have not been fully worked out. Pending army shoe contracts are the first since late In April, when the government bought 2.000,000 pairs of field shoes and 3,500,000 pairs of trench shoes, involving $12,000,000. Of this business New Eng land shoe manufacturers handled approx imately 05 per cent. Tbe navy ahoe or der is tbe largest since the first week in April, when the quartermaster depart ment opened bids for 500,000 pairs of shoes. New England manufacturers cleaned up tbe work on the recent order for field shoes tbe first week of August and wiU have finished making the trench shoes by mid-October. It is hoped that the labor situation at Brockton, where to date over 7,000,000 pairs of shoes have been niado for tbe government, will have been adjusted and that tbere will be uo delay on tbe part of shoe workers in starting on this new work.
