E 99 The Story of a Great Love

A Thrilling Serial of Devotion and Mystery

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS WARN AGAINST WAR

The Bun shone brightly, never so brightly before, thought Noel Crawley when Hutton drew his blinds at 8 o'clock the next morning and laid a ' dozen letters and some newspapers on the table beside his master's bed. Crawley had had exactly six hours of unbroken and dreamless sleep, and he awoke like a giant refreshed to the glorious realization' of freedom. The millstone had slipped from his neck. The nightmare horror had gone and the sun shone. He was alive again. Hutton, that observant philosopher, noticed the change in his master's cheery ".Good morning," and felt devoutfuly thankful. Crawley sat up in bed and drank the cup of tea which the man had t brought. "I'll have my bath at once," he said, nd there was something more than the old triumphant ring in his vibrant, youthful voice. "And I'll, be ready for breakfast In half an hour." That settled Hutton. He retired smiling. The clouds had rolled away. He was peculiarly susceptible to external influences. He heard Crawley whistling a cheery air, and, in a discreetly low tone, he joined In himself as he laid the breakfast table. Crawley was distinctly himself again, and he turned to the small pile of letters without misgivings, even though he recognized Zoe's handwriting on the first envelope. He opened it. A cheque fell on the bed. He read the letter. It was short and ran as follows: "Dear Mr. Crawley: I send you the enclosed. Use it as you think best, and repay me as, and when, you like. I am sorry for what I said this afternoon; I was upset. Please forgive me. Of course there is no absurd condition. You will see that the cheque is made payable to me. There is no time to pay it into my own account. With kind regards, sincerely yours, "DIANA BROOKE." "Well. I'm hanged," was Crawley's astounded comment as he picked up Godfrey Brooke's cheque in favor of his wife, for 10,000 drawn on the Bank of England. There was something almost uncanny about it. He fingered the check nervously. He had never held so much money in his hand before,, nor was he likely to again. Ten thousand pounds! A fortune! And Brooke's signature. A strange medley of fanciful thoughts came to him. He wondered how Zoe had got the check out of him, what possible excuse she could have made for asking for sucli a preposterous sum. He wondered what on earth Brooke could

have been thinking about to give such a sum tto a woman. He might be generous to a fault and throw away a hundred or two without much thought, but a man, especially a millionaire, does not throw about thousands.

He Gets Also a Letter from Leveredge. ' y He smiled a little cynically as he read Zoe's letter over again, and then

replaced it with the cheque in its envelope. He would return it immedl-

meiy. lie wum nac buuulcu iui ihopr inv that rlrnimntnncpa hnrt not

placed him in the position when he would even have had to go so low as to use Brooke's money to save

Brooke's wife. He was glad, in a;,way, to notice that Zoe signed herself "Diana Brooke." It told him that she was cautious. He liked the discreet tone of the letter; he liked the "Dear Mr. Crawley." It puzzled him just a little remembering, as he did the passionate wording of , the last letter she had written him; but nevertheless he was very satisfied. Yes, it .'was altogether eminently satisfactory.

He returned to the' perusal "of the ( remainder of his correspondence. -.There were several bills, two or three cards of invitation, tickets, circulars and a letter from Messrs. Leveredge

& juaDeny. lie opened it eageny. it ran as follows: . "Dear iMr. Crawley Referring to our interview of today" it was a typewritten letter signed by Mr. . Lev. eredge "I propose calling upon you at 8:30 tomorrow morning for your

answer. We are anxious to meet you

in every reasonable way, but you

must see that the exhibition must open at the usual time tomorrow unless you close with our offer. Yours

faithfully, "I. LEVEREDGE." Crawley laughed as he read the letter. Leveredge might come and go. What mattered it? Afterward, when Leveredge knew, there would be the very devil to pay; but Crawley regarded the crisis with equanimity. He was quite prepared to pay the devil; indeed, he was prepared to do anything now. He was thoroughly enjoying his bacon and eggs, when Mr. Leveredge was announced. "Morning, Crawley!" he exclaimed, fatuously. "Didn't expect to find you up so early. How goes it?" "Splendidly," said Crawley, with his

mouth full. "Sit down. Had breakfast?" "An hour ago. Been to the galleryf too."' ; Crawley started. "You've been to the gallery?" he said dully, and peered into the great dealer's face a little fearfully; but there was nothing in the bland smile of Mr. Leveredge but' amiability combined with a little of the scent of a bargain. Obviously, Mr. Leveredge had not seen the "Circe" yet. That was a surprise in store for him, and a trial In store for Crawley. Leveredge took a chair and regarded the artist with an unctuous smile. "Go on with your breakfast, my dear old friend," he said. "Don't mind me. I'm in no great hurry. It's only Just half-past, and I gave you till nine, you know." "Oh, but I can settle at once," interrupted Crawley. . "I was going to wire you first thing only I got your letter." "Ha! So you agree?" Mr. Leveredge's fishy eyes gleamed craftily. Crawley Tells Him the Deal Is Off. Crawley shook his head. "No," he said; "I don't. It's off." "You mean " - "That you ' can open your show today and try to get some one else to give you fifteen thousand pounds for the 'Circe.' I can't. So that's settled. Sorry if I've put you to any great inconvenience. Let me know what you have lost in receipts by. shutting up yesterday." Mr. Leveredge's face fell. It was very apparent that he was surprised and disappointed. "If it's a matter of price," he muttered, a little thickly, "of course the figure I named might, under the exceptional circumstances of the case, and you being a personal friend, and me looking upon it as a more or less personal matter, so to epeak the figure, I say, might be reduced a trifle." Crawley smilingly shook his- head. "Impossible," he said. (To Be Continued.)

MISTAKE SNOW DRIFT

PRINCETON, Ind., March 6. Herman Meyer was shoveling snow off the roof when he saw what he thought was a huge drift and he jumped into it. But it proved to be a skylight. The young man found substantial footing agairf on the ground floor, two stories down. His face and head were badly cut.

BERLIN, ; March 6. Conservative German newspapers today took advan

tage of the opportunity to warn Germany of the danger of war with the United States, pointing out what It would mean to have the resources of

America added to those of the Allies

Herr Naumand, a member of the

Reichstag, - said: "America's fleet

would be put side by side with that of England with the increasing possi

bility of an absolutely effective block

ade. General recruiting . within six months, would produce a formidable

American army. , German ships in American harbors would be lost. America is daily increasing her financial power and her entrance in the conflict would mean an incalculable prolongation of the war . because

America could finance the Allies for

an unlimited time. We cannot shut our eyes to the endless- sacrifices that war with the United States would demand." . - - .
