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

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. '

ment will call for bide on 3,000,000 pairs
of marching shoes for training purposes
in this country and Inter on will send out
inquiries for 3,000,000 pairs of a new
styled trench boot, which is to differ
slightly from tbe "Pershing" trench
shoe. 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. Wall Street
