Pailleton, who was breathing heavily, said nothing. Presently an officer in French uniform entered.

"Well, I'm damned!" the Admiral exclaimed, as he ]aid down the news- paper a few mornings later. "Ralph's done it this time, and no misbake," Geraldine looked over his shoulder, her cheeks aglow. "I knew at seven o'clock," she de- clared. "Harris brought me bhe paper up. They are all so excited about it in the kiteben. You'd just gone out in the Park."

"After four o'clock, though, because I am staying cut to lunch" "Thank you so much," he replied gratefully. She set down the receiver again and went ,track to the (breakfast -room.

"and to know if he could' Dome in to tea this afternoon," "Better ask him to dinner, my dear," the Admiral suggested hospi- tably. "He's a Sine young fallow, Granet. Very thoughtful of him to ring us up." Lady Conyers made no comment, 'Geraldine was bending over her plate. The Admiral rose to hie feet. He was much too excited to ,pursue the con- versation. "I shall walk down to the Admiral ty and see if I can get hold of old Wilcock," he continued, "If he won't tell me .anything, I'll wring the old beggar's neck." The Admiral left the house a few minutes later and Lady Conyers walked arm in arm with her daughter into the pleasant little morning -room which looked out upon the Square, The former parsed for a moment to look at Thomson's photograph, which stood upon one of the side tables. Then she closed the door, "Geraldine," she said, "I am not very happy about you and Hugh." "Why not, mother?" the girl asked, out of the window. "P,a,rhaps :bemuse I lice Hugh" Lady Conyers went on quietly, "per- ' baps, too, because I am not sure that you have done wisely. You haven't given me any reason yet, have you, for breaking your engagement?" Geraldine was silent for a moment. Then she name back and sat on the rug at her mother's feet. She kept her face, however•, a little turned away. "It's so hard to put it into words, mother," she said thoughtfully, "only Hugh never seemed to give me any of his' confidence. Of course, his is very dull work, looking after hos0ii- tals and that sort of thing, but stili, I'd have liked to try and take an interest in it. He must have seen ex- citing things in Francs, but it is only by the merest chance that one ever realizes that he has been even near the Front. He is so silent, so Se- cretive." Lady Conyers took up her lcnittdng, "Some toren are like that, dear," she remarked. "It is just temperamental. Perhaps you haven't encouraged him to talk." 'But I have,' Geraldine instated. "I ave asked him no end of questions, u before has has amewered any of em properly, I find 'him trying to sago th "I want to know how it was done," e t the Admiral speculated. "Can't have th been ramming if he 'bagged two of eh them, and they surely never came to the surface voluntarily, with a de strayer about," Geraldine glanced around the room to be sure that they were alone. "Don't you remember when Olive and I were at Portsmouth?" she said. "Ralph had been absolutely dumb about it but he did just give us a hint that he had a little surprise in store for the submarines. There was some- thing on deck, covered all up and watched: by a sentry, and just before we sat down to lunch, you know, we were turned ofl and had to go to the 'Ship.' Ralph wouldn't tell us a word ,about it but I'm sure he's gat some new contrivance on the 'Scorpion' for fighting the submarines." "There may be something in it," the Admiral admitted cheerfully. "I noticed the Morning Post naval Pian the other day made a very guarded reference to some secret means of dealing with these vermin." Lady Conyers sailed into the xoom, a telegram in her hand. "A wireless from Ralph," she an- nounced, "Listen." Have sunk two of the brutes. More to come, Love, Rai h. They pored over the telegram and the newspaper until the breakfast was cold. The Admiral was like a boy again. ' If we can get rid of these curses of the sea," he said, erettling down at last to hie bacon and eggs, "and get those Germans to come out, the war will be over months before any one expected. I shall go down to the Ad- miralty before breakfast and see if they've ttpything to tell, Ralph gave me a hint about the not scheme bet ine never even mentioned anything else."

To -day everyone Is speaking of oil as the fuel of the future, A tan of oil costs about twenty dollars, but it does twice the work of a ton of coal and thus is cheaper.
