CHAPTER XII.
Geraldine, a few hours later, set
down the telephone reeeiver with a
little sigh of reetgnation. Lady Con-
•ers glans:ea up inquiringly freen her
ooh.
"Was that some one wanting to
eon* and see you at this time of
night, Geraldine?" she asked.
Gereldline yawned.
"It's he explained. "He has
rueg up from the War Office or
sotneweere-esaes he has just got back
from Frarece and wants to vee nie at
once. I think he might have waited
tifl totmorrew morning. I can scarce-
ly keep my eyes open, I am so aleepy."
Lady Conyers glanced at the clock.
"It int% really so late," she remark-
ed, "taxi I dare say, if tlie poor man's
been travelling ail day, he'd like to
ray good -night to you."
Geraldine made a little gaimace.
"I shall go into the morrung room
and wait for him," she announced,
"He'll very lately find me asieep."
The ae miral looked up from be-
hind the Times'.
"Where's that nice young fellow
Granet?" he asked. 'Why didn't you
bring- him in to dinner?"
aWell, we didn't get back until near-
ly eight." Geraldine reminded her
father. "I didn't think he'd have time
te ehange and get teak here com-
fortably."
-Fine young chap, that," Sir Seen
rattur remerked: The very best type
of young Englith soldier, e could
do with lots like him."
Gerahline left the reom without re-
mark. She amid hear her father
rustling hie paper as she disappeared.
"Can't think why Geraldine didn't
pielt up with a smart young fellow like
Granet instead of en old stick like
Thomson," he grumble:I. "I hate these
Arnie* Malicale, any way."
"ItIajor Thomson has a charming
disposititem" Lady Conyers declared
warmly, "Besides, he will be very well
off some day—he may even get the
baronetcy."
"Who cares about that?" her hus-
leni gruntel. "Gerald has all the
family she needs. and all the money.
Hew she came to choose Thomason
from el her sweethearts, I can't im-
agine."
Geralline, noty;ithetanding her fat-
igue, -welcomed her lover very charm-
ingly when he arrived, a few minutes
later. Major Thomson was still in
traveliting clothes., and had the air of
a man who had been working at high
pressure for some time. He held her
fingers tightly for a moment, without
speaking. Then ae led her to the sofa '
and seated himself beside her.
"Geraldine," he began gravely,
"aas what I ray any weight with you
at all?"
"A gcod deal," the assured Eine
"'You know that I do Lot like Cap-
tain Granet, yet you took him with a
you down to Portsmouth to -day and a
even allowed him to accompany you t
on board the Soar/non. "
Geraldine started a little.
"How do you know that already?"
she asked 'curiously.
He shook his head impatienay.
It doesn't matter. I heard. Why u
did you do it, Geraldine?"
"In the first place, because he of- ell
fered to motor us down after we mies- "
7 other reasons."
"As, for instance?"

said slowly. "I am going to tell you

still. Then he broke into a peal of

else demanded,
• Absolutely, be assureol her, a lit-
tle coldly..
She wiped her eyes once mere.
"Hugh, dear." she sighed, patting
his hand, "you do SQ.zieucle better looks
after you hospitais and your
wounded than unearthing mare's -nests
like this. I don't think that you'd be a
brilliant SUCCeSS in the Intelligence
Department. As to the War Office,
well, you know what I think of them.
Captain Granet a German Spy, in-
deed!"
"Neither the War Office nor my-
self'," Thomson continued, "have ar-
rived et these suspicions without sonie
' reason. Perhaps you will look at the
matter a little more seriously when I
tell you that Captain Granet will not
be allowed to return to the Front."
"Not be allowed?" she repeated.
"Hugh, you are net serious!"
"I have never been more serious in
my life," he insisted. "I am not in ft
position to tell you more than the bare
facts or I might disclose some evi-
dence which even you would have to
admit throws a rather peculiar light
upon some of this young maxas ac-
tions. As it is, however, I can do no
more than warn you, and beg you," i
he went on, "to yield to my wishes n
the matter of your further acquain-
tance with him."
There was a moment's rather cur-
ious silence. Geraldine seemed to be
gazing through the walls af the roorn.
Her hands were clenched in one an-
other, her fingers nervously inter-
locked.
"I shall send for him to rome and
see me the first thieg to -morrow
morning," she deeided.
"You will do nothing of the sort,"
Thomson objected firmly.
She turned her head and looked at
lane He was conscious of the an-
tagonism watch had sprung up like a
wall between them. His face, however,
showed no sign.
"How do you propose to prevent
me?" she asked, with ominous calm.
"By reminding you of your duty to
your country," he answered. "Geral-
dine, dear, I did not expect to have to
talk to you like this. When I tell
you that responsible people in the
War Office, officials whose profession
it is to scent out treathery, have de-
clared this youna man suspect, I am
certainly disappointed to find you em-
bracing his cause so feraently. It is
no personal matter. Believe he," he
added, after a moment's pause, "what-
ever my perse .al bias may be, what
ant saying to you now is not actuat-
ed. in the shghtest by any feelings
of jealousy. I have told you what I i
know and t is for you to make your
choice as to how much or how littie in
the future you will sea of this young
man. But I do forbid you, not in my
own name but for our country's. sake,
to breathe a single word to him of
ht I have said to yeti."
"It comes to this, then," she said,
'that you make accusations against
a man and deny him the right of being
eard?"
"If you choose to put it like that,
yes," he assented. "Only I fancied
hat considering—considering the
hings between us, you might have
aken my word."
He leaned a little towards her. If
she had been looking she could scarce-
ly have failed to have been touched
by the sudden softness of his dark
eyes, the little note of appeal in his
sually immobile face. Her eyes, how -
ver, were fixed upon the diamond
ing which sparkled upon her third
nger. Slowly the drew it off and
ended it to aim.
"Hugh," she seal, "the things you
speak of do not exist any more be-
tween us. I am sorry, but I think you
are marrow and suspicious. ^You have
your own work to do. It seems to me
mean to spend your time suspr •ting
soldiers who have fought for their
king and their country, of such des-
picable crirne."
"Can't you trust me a little nom
hat that, Geraldine?" he asked least-
ully. •
"In what way?" she demanded'. "I
udge only by the facts, the things
ott have said to me, your aeousations
gainst Captain Granet. Why should
ou go out of your way to investigate
ases of suspected espitinage ?"
"You cannot 'believe that I would do

three hours in length, the first vigil
starting at what we call six o'clock in

CHAPTER XIIL
At a little after noon on the follow-
ing day, Captain Granet deseended
from a taxieab in the courtyard of th
Milan Hotel, and, passing througb th
!awing doore, made his way to th

Grand followed the boy to the lift
and was conducted to room on the
Third floor. The door was opened by
a tall, white-haired Frenchman.
• Monsieur Guillot?" Captain Gran -
et inquired pleasantly, "My name is
Greed."
The Frenchman ushered him in. The
door was closed apd 'carefully leeked.
Then Monsieur Guillat swung around
and looked at his visitor with some
curiosity. Granet was still wearing
his uniform.
"France must live," Granet mur-
muThreed.
Frenchman at one extended
his hand.
"My friend," he confewed, "for a
moment was surprised. It did riot
occur to me to see you in this guise,"
• Granet smiled,
"I have been out at the Front," he
exPlained, "ami am home wounded."
"But an Englieh officer?" Monsieur
Guillot remarked dualously. " I do
not quite understand, then, The na-
ture of the communication which I
aave come to receive is known to
you?"
Granet nodded and aecepted the
chair which hie host bad offered.
"I do not think that you thould be
so much surprised," lie said simply.
"If the war is grievous for your coun-
try, it is, ruin to mine. We do not, per-
haps, advertise our apprehensions in
the papers. We prefer to keep them
locked up in our own brain. Mere is
one great fact always before us. Ger-
many is unconquerable. One must find
peace or perish."
Monsieur Guillot Lamed with a
curious look upon his face. His fore-
finger tapped the copy of the Times
which was lying upon the table. The
other nodded gravely.
"Yes," he continued, "I know that
our Press is carrying on a magnificent
ca,nemaign of 'bluff. I know that many
of the ignorant people of the country
believe that this war is still being
prosecuted with every hope of success.
We who have been to the Front, espe-
cially those who have any source of
information in Germany, know differ-
ently. The longer the war, the more
ruinous the burden which your coun-
try and mine will have to bear."
"It is my opinion also," Monsieur
'Gala declared, "and furthermore,
listen. It is not our war at all, that
is the :cruel part of it. It is Russia's
war and yours. Yet it is we who suf-
fer most, we, the richest part of whose
country is in the hands of the foe,
we whose industries are paralyzed, my
country from whom the life -blood is
being slowly drained. You English,
what do you know of the wax? No
enemy has set foot upon your soil, no
Englishman bee seen his womankind

"Our time has not yet come," Gran -
et admitted, "but before long, unless

A Forest of Gems.
Among the many wonders of the
south-western States, the Petrified
Forest of Arizona must take high rank.
On the rnaps it is called Chalcedony
Park, but the people of Arizona sl-
ays speak of it as the Petrified
orest. Neither name is very des-
riptive. It is not a forest and it is
ot a peak; nor aro the trees petri-
ed, in the ordinary acceptation of
at term, for instead of having been
langed into stone, the wood has been
gatized. -
It is probable that the' forest once
covered hundreds of square miles, for

method of sealing must be suoh as to
protect from dust, mold and insects,
and prevent evaporation.
General Appearance—Fruit should
be whole and as nearly the original
shape and color as possible. Fruit
should be translucent and the syrup
clear.
Consistency—In perfect preserves
two distinct parts are considered: (1)
the heavy, honeyelike syrup and (2)
the whole, well -shaped fruit distribut-
ed evenly through this syrup. When
a portien of the preserves is dropped
from a spoon, the fruit retains a
heavy coating of the syrup though -the
syrup slowly settles down around it.
Flavor—Tae old-time preserves
made "Pound for pound" containing as
mach -fruit as sugar by actual weigat.
We now know that a bettex product

Sterling.
In this country the word sterling,
when stamped an silver, means simply
that the manufacturer declarel the ar-
ticle to be made of silver eleven
twelfths fine; but the 'British marks,
arranged in a column, give a sort of
history of the article. Usually the
first mark is the maker's sign; next
comes a mark that shows where the
article was made—for London, a leo-
pard's head; for Birmingham, an an-
chor; and for Sheffield, famous for its
silver, a crown. Dublin has the Irish
harp, and Chester uses the city arms.
The third mark, a lion, indicates the
standard of fineness. The date mark,
a letter usually conies last. Since
each city uses a different system for
indicating the year -when the article
was made, it is necessary to know the
"plate" of the town in order to find
the date of a particular piece.

Cooking With Sunshine Direct
Dr, C, G. Abbot, director of the
Smithsonian Institution's astro-physi-
cal observatory, has during the last
year perfected a 'very curious and in-
teresting machine for utilizing the
sun's rays.
He calls it a "solar eooker," and
says that it will do anything in the
cooking line except fry.
A half -cylinder of aluminum, with
polished mierer-like inner surface of
100 square feet, focuses the sun's rays
upon a blackened tube—the latter run-
ning lengthwise of the cylinder and
• occupying the position.of its axis.
Above is a metal tank in which are
two ovens, one above the other. In
• these the cooking is done.
Thre above-mentioned tube is filled
with oil, and from theupper end of
the half -cylinder (which slants toward
the sun) it extends upward into the
tank, through the latter, and down and
out again, continuing downward to the
lower end of the half -cylinder, where
It turns upward again to form the
blackened "axis" pipe. It is, in a
word, an endless tube, running through
the half -cylinder, up into the tank,
out again, and around from below.
The tube contains oil, which, ex-
panded in the blackened part of it by
the sun's heat, ascends into the tank
to heat the ovens. As it cools it.lr6"
cends to be continually replaced hY
fresh heated oil. The operation is
absolutely automatic, all the work 1)0
Ing done by the sun, and the ovens are
kept hot as long as the sun shines.
Excellent bread, meat dishes, vege-
tables and canned fruits were cooked
last summer in this machine by MrS,
Abbot who was much envied by the
ladies of the neighhorhood for her cool
oatdeor kitchen and for the ingenious
apparatus which ftirnished heat with-
out fuel.
