"You have, too, Granet continued,
"a great following throughout France.
You are the man for the task I bring
to you. You, if you choose, shall save
your country and earn the reward she
will surely bestow upon you."
Monsieur Guillot's cheeks were
flashed a Tittle. With long, nervous
fingers he rolled a cigarette and lit it.

"My young friend," he said, "in the

haps meet in our wonderful Paris, and
if I may not tell the world so, I shall
yet feel, as we look upon her great-
ness, that you and I together have

Granet made his way along the
empty corridor, rang for the lift and
descended into the hall. A smile was
upon his lips. The torch at Last was
kindled! bn the hall of the hotel he
carie across a group of assembling
guests just starting for the luncheon
room. A tall, familiar figure stepped
for a moment on one side. His heart
gave a little jump. Geraldine held out
her pearl -gloved hand.
"Captain Granet," she said,, "I
wanted to tell you something."
"Yes?" he answered breathlessly.
She glanced towards where the little

lieve me, there are many other Eng-
lishmen besides me who will feel a
melancholy satisfaction in the chas-
tisement of their country, many who
are more English, even, than 1."
Monsieur Guillot passed away from
the .personal side of the -matter. Al-
ready his nrind was travelling swiftly
along the avenues of his own future
greatness.
"This is the chance which comes to
few men," he muttered. "There is De -
striving may in the end mean salva-
tion for England, too."
"I hear you with relief," Monsieur
Guiilot admitted. "In this transac-
tion it is my great desire to deal with
a man of honor. As such I now per-
ceive that I can recognize you, mon-
sieur,,'
Granet bowed gravely and without
any shadow of embarrassment.
"That assuredly, Monsieur Guillot,"
he said. "Shall I proceed?"
"By all means."
Granet drew a thin packet from the
breast pocket of his coat. He laid. it
on the table between them.
"I received this," he announced,
"gess than three week ago from the
hands of the Kaiser himself."
Monsieur Guillot gazed at his com-
panion incredulously.
"It was very simple," Granet con-

The Baron smiled ever so slightly as
he waved away the chair.
"There is no mistake, Monsieur
Guillot," he said. "I come to you with

wishes a few minutes' conversation
with you."
"With me?" Monsieur Guillot
echoed incredulously. 'But there is
some mistake."
"No mistake, I assure you," the
young man insisted.
Monsieur Guillot drew a little back
into the room.
"But what leave I to do with the
Ambassador, or with diplomatic mat-
ters of any sort?" he protested. "I
am here on business, to see what can
be saved from the wreck of my af-
fairs. Monsieur the Ambassador is
mistaking me for another.
The Baron shook his head,
"There is no mistake, my dear sir,"
• he insisted. "We all recognize," he
added, with a bow, the necessities
which force the most famous of us to
live sometimes in the shadow of
anonymity. If the Chief could find
little to say to Monsieur Guillot of
Lille, he will, I am sure, be very inter -
1 ested in a short conversation with
Monsieur Henri Pail'leton."
There was a brief, tense silence. The
man who had caped himself Guillot
I was transformed. The dreams which
j had uplifted him a few minutes ago,
had passed. He was living very much
• in the present -an ugly and forebod-
ing present. The veins stood out upon
1 his forehead and upon the back of his
hands, his teeth gleamed' underneath
his coarse, white moustache. Then he
recovered himself.
"There is some mistake," he said,
"but I will come."
In silence they left the hotel and
drove to the Embassy, in silence the
young man ushered his charge into
the large, pleasant apartment on the
• ground floor of the Embassy,, where
the ambassador was giving instruc-
tions to two of his secretaries. He
dismissed them with a little wave of

Taking the Poison Out of
Printer's Ink.
The United States Bureau of Stand-
ards bas been helping the Public
Health Service, by making analysis of
inks, to find out the cause of skin
trouble which commonly afflicts the
workers in printing and engraving.
plants. It affects those parts of the
arms and hands which are constantly
in contact with colored inks.
Tho trouble iu some cases is a mere
rash on the forearms and hands; in
others the skin assumes locally a scat-
ly appearance, followed by blisters
with itching and burning. Occasional-
ly ulcers develop.
It is a serious matter, and has long
been a puzzle to physiclana. The
printers have been inclined to attri-
bute"it to the introduction of substi-
tutes for oil of turpentine. Persons
who have a dry skin suffer most;
those whose skin is oily are least af-
flicted.
A thorough experimental inquiry
has now led to the conclusion that the
mischief is due to absorption of the
oil and pigments in the ink, end to the
methods commonly adopted for remov-
ing the ink from the hands and arms.
A dry akin is comparable to a blot-
ter, which readily absorbs the o11 in
the inks and the pigments carried
with the oil. On the other hand, the
pigments are less easily removed from
a dry skin than from a skin that is al-
ready oily. Tberefore, is the case of
a dry skin more scrubbing is required,
whereby the skin is irritated.
Removal of the ink frau hands and
arms at the end of the work period is
usually accomplished in rather brutal
fashion, washing with mineral oil be-
ing followed with soap and hot water
-perhaps sandsoap or pumice soap
helped with a stiff brush.
Sawdust mixed with liquid green
soap will be found much more effec-
tive for the purpose, used with warm
water; and, it lanolin (wool -fat) be
rubbed over the arms and hands be-
fore beginning work It will make much
easier the subsequent removal of the
ink.
The upshot of the experiments is a
recommendation that a mixture of
lanolin and olive oil, halt and half, be
kept in the washroom where printers
change their street clothes for work
clothes. Before entering the press-
rooms each worker should be required
to rub the stuff well into the pores of
hands and arms. At the end of each
shift ho should remove the Inkwith
a mixture of soap and sawdust, -which
will accomplish the object readily and
without injury to the skin.

Did You Ever See a Deal
Tree?
Canadians whose country owes so
much to wood, should pride them-
selves on knowing what the different
timber terms mean. Sometimes per
sons speak of a certain article as made
of deal, . When they are asked what
kind of tree deal is they are at a loss.
As a matter of fact deal is not a kind
of tree but a piece of wood. Aboard
is one inch thick; a plant, two inches
thick; and a deal, three inches thick.
The word is not used in the lumber
trade in the States, end in Canada It
is chiefly used in connection with the
shipment of timber to Great Britain,
It is shipped in this form because it Is
a convenient size for certain British
woodworking industries, Since deals
are chiefly made from spruce, balsam
flr, pine, and sometimes hemlock, a
secondary use of the word in England
is to Indicate some kind ot "soft" wood
or wood from a cope-bonring tree. In

But one great debt we have to pay re-

It Is the debt we owe the men who

It is the debt wo owe the men who

To struggle once again to keep their

Among the darkened homes • of those

And daily in the streets and squares
we pass them to our walks.

German Funds Availeble-
"Looking around the circle of pos.

paper, "It seems to us that the Ger-
mans are the most likely to endeavor
to obtain possession of these ships,

"What sort of a price vessels will
fetch on a tree market remains to be

"Whether it is a wise policy to sell

Across the sodden plains of death
them men have charged and
fought,
They bore the agony and strain and!
our salvation wrought;
They did not swerve, they did not
flinch, but on and on they
pressed
Till in the rain of splintering shells
came one that gave them rest.
Shall wo, hen, now forget the past In
And say they have no claim on us,
such glorious men as these?
If on a nation's throne to -day our coun-
try takes her seat,
It is the work of broken man thatpass
us in the street,
Bestow not on the dead your praise,
they hoed it not above,
The men that live and suffer still aro
they wiio need your love;
Tho very stones cry out to us, too long
have ws delayed,
The debt of honor faces us and that
debt must be paid.

Many people have attempted to
trace the origin of the term "porter-
house" steak to a man named Porter,
who is supposed to have kept a res-
taurant in New York,
The real reason for the term was be-
cause, in the early part of the last cen-
tury, there existed to New York a
number of public -houses whore ale and
porter were the favorite beverages or-
dered, These taverns or saloons canoe
to be known as porter -houses.
The proprietor of one of these ea-
tablishments, on being asked for a.
particularly tender gnd appetizing
steak, made the experiment of cutting
the top off a joint which had been sant
for hie personal use. The customer
was so pleased that ho called a day
or two.later and demanded another of

steak soon spread, and it was not long
before @pioarps throughout the city
