"Sir, I like not your manner of ques- tioning," flashed Burr. "Answer ine.at.once," thundered the general, "I have already repeated my question," '(here was an instant's pause, while Burr stood with lips tight shut. Then he spoke. "9 have had "no.commenication what- ever with my British friends since war was declared, and I became a Contieen- tal officer, save to direct bullets at them iu action," he burst out, with blazing eyes. "It seems to me a most unneces- sary answer, sir!" "'Tis the one I expected," said the general. He sat quiet a moment, eyes on the floor. The blood of both wren was up, and the atmosphere of the little rbom anything but peaceful. Burr crushed his hat nervously in his hands. He had. already taken nearly as much as he could bear, The next question was a surprise to hien. "Do you/ know a certain Mistress Wendell?" asked Washington snore dainty. Suddenly a great light seemed to shine upon the darkness of Burr's brain. It was the woman, then I That explain- ed the sudden summons, and the wild ride, and the dross -questioning in the quiet 'rosin,. Ile cared little for the woman and her plotting. It was to be expected. But the bitterness of death was upon him as he realized that the commander-in-chief, just and impartial as he was, had so little faith in hill as to lisen to an un- proven story. Nay, more, Burr felt that Washington believed the tale. Ills face was as white as paper as he stood rigid, trying to answer. Ile was so proud a man that he had taken no pains to make himself popular with his commander, but it was a thrust that cut deep to discover the depth of Isis disregard. '1 do know such a lady, sir," he an- swered at tenth, but I prefer to leave her out of our discussion." "What are your relations towards this woman." "That 1 refuse to ;answer, your ex- cellency," said Burr angrily. "You have no right to drag in a woman." I "1 make my own right," was the icy answer.

He was thinking c,f Burr as he had known hi nn, and what had once seemed trifling shadows in the man's life and character now loomed black in the searching light of this new story. General Washington stopped his walk at the sound of opening doors and tramping feet; no sound of hoof -beats upon the drive could reach the little runt but the stir through the house meant some recent arrival. He went again to the armchair behind the table, and sat down. There came a sharp knock et the door. Upon his ;answer, young Grayson's voice :utneunced, with evident excitement: 1.olenel Aaron Herr, your excellency.” Burr entered the roost alone, and the door closed behind hien. Ile saluted, star.Jinti by the do rnav, slender and str:ai eht, his uniform splashed with mud. ,'here was :1 look of expectancy in his black eyes, and he held himself .ae if hraeed against a coming shock. Something ryas wrong. it was not a.fied that a coniercnce of officers was interrupted by a wild -riding aide of the n:m:tndcr-in-ch'-:f, with a demand for she instant presence of one of• the of- ficers .at headquarters; nor was it en- cuuraei'11; t', face the grim cnuntenanc{: „f the general himself.

There were commonly a suflieiant number of these same iudis- cretiuns— to name them politely; but it had been his way to shrug his should - urs. and relieve easily of their hurtled. Ile wondered curiously what mic:ht be afoot, as ire waited in respect- :ul silence. "1 sent for you hurriedly, Colonel Burr. 1 was informed of your where- abouts, and took the occasion of your being within three hours of headquar- ters, But had you been at the farthest corner of the land, sir, 1 should still have sent for you.” Not the least. impressive thing about this great man was his voice, Just now; its sternness caused the young man to draw himself more stiffly erect, and to square his shoulders. "i an at your excellency's service," he said. Washington shifted the papers upon his table uneasy. He looked up, sud- denly, and leaning forward, crossed his arms upon the table, With cold eyes be- neath frowning brows, lie searched Burr's face. "Have you friends in New York, Colonel Burr?" he demanded abruptly. A puzzled look crept into Burr's eyes,, but he answered readily: "Certainly. your excellency—several among the prisoners taken on our re- treat from the city."

There is no doubt that :mx In fact there is every reason for the be, lief that at the present time we are destroying U boats faster than they are built, So the losses may still be above' normal for two months or so but by the end of that time when the surplus of U boats is gone the losses will return to, normal. liveryoue Is jubilant over Bagdad witic the reservation 0151 it is hoped the- artily can be maintained from the new base. Prance is unquaiitieslly'optimis-: tic over the success. In official circles here there seems to be no doubt that we can maintain our advantage, The one position where all are very pessimistic is the Salonika front. This is quite natural because every one re4 members the failure in Gallipole. The situation is very grave. 10 is quite un' healthy and enteric malaria, is playing havoc with the troops and there is ever the fear that the Greeks may take them in the rear while the U boats renders. ; the .transportation of goods and troops. precarious, Food problems here in England are, beginning to assert themselves more - and more. First of course comes the restriction of neat and bread order. The nation is 011 its honor to consume not more than 2% abs of meat 4 ties of bread and tb s of sugar per head per week. Many are honorably curtailing• themselves but many more are waiting for compulsion. We have bacon for breakfast, meatless Lunch and joint for dinner and find it no hardship at all to live up to the requirements. They have. also fixed maximum prices for potatoes, I tea, coffee, lard, butter and cheese but it is problematical if such a system will' succeed We must remember that it has partially failed in Germany where the feeling of blind obedience to law and order is much stronger than here. We are .muddling along making a much better muddle than in the early part of the war but the feeling is very strong that everything will come out right be- fore the end. el The morale of the troops is wonder- ful. The navy is eager and the whole nation at home is settling down to a grim determination to crush the enemy or rather the militaristic spirit in the enemy.
