Come along, then,” she said imper-
sonally, “and we’ll see what we can
do.”
In the level bit of ground before the
stables she was greeted kindly and af-
fectionately by hurrying stablemen.
“Take my horse. one of you. will
you? And some one bring out Dido,”
she ordered in a tone that seemed gra-
cious enough to the English grooms
about her, but which would have jar-
red upon even an American waiter.

most secluded and retired of the sev-

filled with the members of a house
party for Lady Diana Sartoris, Bever-
ley had carefully warned them away
from the Downs, and indeed had sent
all of them otter hunting with Captain
Greville Sartoris, Lady Diana’s cousin.
“And otter hunting of all sports in
the world!” Lady Diana had breathed
sarcastically to her maid. “One might
quite as well hunt a bally mouse as an
otter, you know.”
The reason Lady Diana knew of
course. The Whip, the newest racer
in the great stables of Beverley, was
being exercised on the Downs that
morning, and although this expected
successor to the Newmarket winners,
Silver' Cloud, Falconhurst and Bever-
ley’s Hope, had not had her trial and
was not likely to have for some time,
the racing marquis was determined
that no strange eyes should learn any-
thing of the speed pet of his declining
years.
Stable secrets had been leaking of
late in regard to some of the others in
the string, but none should respecting

all fours the fencing and for a moment
trespassed upon the lands of one re-
garded by the simple folk of Yorkshire
as “the wicked earl,” the girl looked
toward the rocky heights accentuated
by the feudal tower, continuing to the
eyes the long ascent of stone upward.
To her mood of the moment, while
Rievers appeared less barren and more
the abode of a human being, still there
was the sinister atmosphere of a place
of ill omen, which was not decreased
by an open window and te movement

quis’ stables. Beverley had held the
for the moment jockeys in stern re-
pression, but the stimulating air, the
vast tonic of nervous horseflesh be-
neath their knees and the thrill of
mad motion could not keep the lads
entirely silent.
In revolt at the things that she dimly
sensed as governors of her whole after
life Lady Diana set her mount at the
stiffly railed fence before her. As the
pack, scenting the food waiting in the
kennels, eswept through the fence Lady
Diana went over it.
In midair she saw a picture, vividly
and anxiously. Under the royal oak
sat an artist sketching, though far on
one side the pack streamed through.
So intent was he on his outline of the
kennels and mushroomed stables that
he gave no attention to the hounds
and apparently was not conscious of
the approach hurtling through the air
—of the lady on her palfrey.
The original impetus of Lady Diana’s
leap would have carried woman and
horses squarely into the person of the
artist But the moment the girl had
seen him a paralyzing inhibition had
stayed the force of horse and girl al-
most in the air, and both lost their
carrying power, making a very bung-
ling finale of what had been originally
a very fine movement
But, as it was, the easel, made on the
moment by the artist out of twigs and
dead branches, had been shattered by
a movement of one of the hunter’s
sleek legs, and, Worse, an iron shod
hoof had made an ugly mark upon the
artist’s left wrist, which had laid at
rest on the moss while his right hand

JAPANESE FLEEING.
Chinese Soldiers Moving Into Position
Near Mukden.
By Associated Press.
Mukden, via Peking, May 6 _Te
Japanese consular orders issued May
3 resulted in a general fight of Jap
anese from Mukden the following day.
The value of a gold yen increased thir-
ty silver cents and a rich harvest was
reaped by exchange brokers. All Jap-
anese civilians, except a few bank
erg and railway officials, now have
left the city. Although the natives
are deeply perturbed, the city remains
absolutely quiet.
Japanese troops occupy strategic po-
sitions in Mukden while Chinese Sol-
diers are reported to be moving into
position to the south of the city. Manv
of the residents in that district are
coming north.
Robert T. Lincoln, chairman of the
board of directors of the Pullman Car
company, told the federal commission
on industrial relations that he believ-
ed the system of paying sleeping car
porters should be changed. He admit-
ted that the meager salary of $27.50
was insufficient for a porter to keep
his family comfortably upon, and de-
clared that the system upon which the
porters were paid was antiquated, and
one which had given him considerable
annoyance. He expressed the belief
that tipping would continue, however,
even were the wages increased, and
announced that the Pullman directorate
had the matter under consideration at
the present time. It is to be hoped the
directors will evolve some plan where-
by the tipping evil may be eliminated
from the cars, and thus pave the way
to its total eradication from American
life.

“The ultimate issue of the war is not
in doubt—only its duration,” declared
Lloyd-George in submitting the budget
to the house of commons. Much de-
pended, the chancellor continued, upon
the operations of the next two or three
months. The operations of the sum-
mer alone could give the government
a dependable opinion. If the war lasts
until the end of the present fiscal
year he estimates that England will
have spent $5,682,170,000 in disputing
with Germany for the supremacy in
Europe. This is about three-fourths
the entire foreign trade of Great Brit-
ain in an average year, and more than
a billion dollars above the foreign
trade of Germany or the United States.
The war is now in its tenth month
and will certainly complete the fiscal
year. And one feature about the drain
upon British strength is that a large
part of the gold represented by the
above figures goes abroad, possibly
never to return.

concern.
“Oh, as you like!” she said. Then,
holding out the sketch toward him, she
went on. “There, look; how’s that?”
“By Jove, it’s splendid! What magic
you can work with just a touch or
two,” he exclaimed.
She made him a little bow, with
something not hostile in it, and began
quickly to turn the pages of the book.
“Oh, you paint landscapes, too,” she
said, “and they’re very good too!

away and browsed without restraint
“Oh, I’m so sorry! Pray, tell me that
you’re not hurt—severely!” she said
and raised her eyes to the stranger’s
face.
She saw clean cut features, black
eyes with just a shade of amusement,
of whim, in them, though there must
have been pain in that wrist, and
wavy, black hair. The man was in
rough tweeds, and a cloth hat of his
suit’s pattern lay a little way off.
“Not a bit,” he returned carelessly.
“It was really very stupid of me not
to have noticed a pack in full cry for
its kennel feeding and so inspiring an
object as their mistress.”
He had covered his hurt with his
handkerchief and knotted and twisted
it before the girl could offer to minis-
appeal for support.
Chinese Want Moral Aid of U s
Crisis.
By Associated Press.
Washington, May 6. — An appeal by
। Christian Chinese students and busi-
ness men in the United States for
moral support for China in the present
crisis was received today at the White
House and was transmitted to the state
department it was signed by 12
Christian Chinese of New York, Phila-
delphia and Chicago, and was ad-
dressed as well to leading religious
bodies in America.
The appeal argues that public opin_
on in the United States alone can help
China, and contends that Japan’s de-
mands should have been reserved for
presentation at the end of the Euro-
pean war.
From the unusual activity of Ger-
man submarines, and the recent warn-
ing issued by the German embassy
with reference to the risks incurred
by American travelers in taking pass-
age to England and France, it seems
evident that the German submarine
fleet about the British isles has been
largely augmented. It is also becom-
ing apparent that Germany intends to
wage war with all of the means in her
power against the allies, now that fa-
vorable weather again reigns over the
arena of conflict. The Canadian rec-
ord officer made no mistake when he
said, in his account of the battle north
of Ypres, that “we are still facing an
enemy immensely powerful, superbly
organized, and confident that his
strength will be the mate of his neces-
sity.” Hostilities on the same grand
scale that marked the opening of the
war will undoubtedly hold the stage
from now until the pall of winter once
more covers the field of battle.

sketch it?”
The stranger nodded.
“I shouldn’t have thought he would
have had much sympathy with artists
or art," she said.
“Why not?" he asked, his glance for
the moment falling.
“His tastes are rather—er—notori-
ous. I’m afraid he’s rather a byword—
about here. Even the country people
call him 'the wicked earl.’ ”
“And because a lot of yokels give a
man an odious nickname,” he said
tersely, “you judge him unheard. What I
do you know of him?"
“Nothing, thanks.” said Lady Diana.
“Isn’t it a bit rough on him to be-
lieve—on mere hearsay?” asked the
artist.
"I don’t, but my grandfather, who
has a kind word for every one, says
that his grandfather was a soldier, his
father a soldier and a gentleman, but
he hopes the son will never darken his
doors. And all the world says he frit-
ters away his life and is flinging away
his fortune.”
The stranger smiled with a sense of
pain reflected in his face.

Lady “Di” on her return to the ken-

of Beverley, found a defiant pleasure
in putting her hunter over every such

Though the day was one of those

pleasure.

Tokio, Thursday, April 22.— (By mail
to Shanghai.—May 6.)—The world-
wide publication of the list of de-
mands presented to China by Japan
shortly after the defeat of the Ger-
man garrison at Kia-Chow, which still
are being negotiated between the two f
governments, coupled with the reports/
of growing opposition to them in Eng-
land and the attitude of the United
States on this whole subject, have em-
barrassed the Japanese government,
from which the people expect much.
The various political associations in
Japan are clamoring for drastic meas-
ures. against China. Everybody is dis-
cussing the possibility of war and
speculating on the nature and the ex-
tent of the military campaign Japan
would have to undertake should China
refuse to cede. All parties and fac-
tions in the country are united in fa-
vor of Japan establishing a predomi-
nating influence in China, which coun-
try is regarded as the natural field

that the failure of the present negotia-

Japanese Demands More Stringent
Than Those of Austria.
By Associated Press.
London, May 6.—The Daily News to-
day publishes an editorial article on
the Chinese situation, which reads in
part:
“It would not be easy to parallel
I such demands from one power to an-
othei as Japan has made on China. In
many respects they are more stringent
I than the Austrian demands upon Ser-
bia. which led to the European war,
and China has done nothing to incur
such a penalty. She offered no men-
ace to Japan, and she wanted only to
I enjoy her own liberties in her own
way.
If China had been a military na-
tion she never would have been thus
challenged. She had neither the will
nor the power to take an unfriendly
and irreconcilable course toward her
powerful neighbor, and it is grotesque
to suggest she is responsible for the
crisis.
“It will be the last and the most bit-
ter tragedy of this war if one of its
consequences be that an unoffending
nation whose independence and integ-
rity the Anglo-Japanese alliance has
guaranteed, is to be despoiled by one
of the signatories of that alliance.”
The British government is handling
the Chino-Japanese controversy with
gloved hands, but the British press
has no hesitancy in going after their
Oriental ally in a matter of fact fash-
ion. Japan’s obvious intention to at-
tempt the domination of China’s in-
dustrial resources meets with no favor
in England. British statesmen prob-
ably did not contemplate this eventual-
ity when the Anglo-Japanese alliance
was formed. In addition to having
made a deadly and implacable enemy
of Germany, Japan apparently has no
objection to antagonizing England.
“What the world says is often mal-
ice,” he said, going to the rescue of
Lord Brancaster, “but I’m sorry to
hear what Lord Beverley said. No-
body’s all bad. Perhaps it’s because
Lord Beverley doesn’t know him that
he thinks so ill of him. Perhaps if you
knew him you might find—some little
good”—
“I’m sure I hope so,” said Lady Di-
ana.
But the stranger continued:
“I’m sure he’d hope so. If he has
played havoc with his life mayn’t he
repent his folly? Perhaps in a sense
he never had a chance—perhaps he
never had a father or mother in his
youth to direct him—and perhaps he’ll
turn out all right now. Perhaps no
good woman”—

THE SPIRIT OF WAR.
Austin Statesman.
An English efficiency expert, who
i has been assigned to special duty at
the front studying possible economies
in equipment and supplies reports that
there are endless opportunities for
preventing waste. He says these op-
portunities would be just as profitable
to the sum total of production as a 10
or 20 per cent speeding up of the over-
worked factory hands in Manchester
or Liverpool.
“To most laymen and many soldiers
war is synonomous with waste,” writes
the expert, “and the question of pre-
venting it hardly enters into the cal-
culation of the average man."

at that stage when we can consider
our work done, if we should ever de-

had met every requirement and that
for a century at least we might cease
to worry, it would mean that we had
ceased to grow, which is tantamount
to saying that we were beginning to
die. While it may be true that today
we make provisions for a possible
growth of tomorrow, the tomorrow
will bring its peculiar demands and
these in their turn must be met as in-
telligently and as fully as were the
needs of the yesterday.
Then, too, it must be remembered
that each hour brings out its new in-
ventions and late discoveries so that
the machinery of yesterday becomes
obsolete today. Just as new tissues
daily replace the worn-out ones in the
body, so must renewals be introduced
