'There can bevno harm in telling

continued smoothly. "Your master,

Groves reluctantly stood on one side.
"I suppose I must let you In, sir," he
said, "but I wish that tne master naa

: "We had neither pencil nor paper,"
M. Louis said, "and the affair was
urgent. I must be back In Norwich

"Very good," M. Louis said. "Yon

tried his keys one by one. At last he
found the right one. The great door
swung slowly open. "
He was spared all anxiety. There on
the top of a pile of legal looking docu

was only momentary. Ho shuddered

through the closely written page with

more to the man who stood before

"Louis," be said, "you are the first
traitor whom our society has hatched.

thing I once called my friend. What
Imbecility prompted you to this?"
M. Louis found nerve to shrug his
shoulders. -
"A million francs!" he answered.
"Heavens, but what folly!" the
vlcomte murmured. "Did wo not all
know that a German was In Paris who
had offered a million or two million

"Arrested him for Flossie. He Is

"You leave me here?" M. Louis fal

answered, with sudden harshness.
"I will atone," M. Louis faltered. "It
was a single false step."

said, smiling. "We bad a little spill,

CHAPTER XXXV.
WHREE men were the sole occu
S pants of tbe great room whose
windows looked out upon the
Louvre. Tbe table around
which they were soated was strewn
with papers and maps. The door of the
room was locked, and a sentry stood
outside In the passage. Tbe three men
were busy making history.
The man who occupied the seat at
the head of the table was the M. Grls
son, to whom Guy Poynton, at the In
stigation of the Due de Bergillac, had
told his story. It was be who was
spokesman. '
'The situation," he said, "Is one
which bristles with difficulties. We will
assume for a moment the truth of what
we have certainly reasonable ground
to believe. Russia has shown every
sign of disappointment with us for our
general attitude during the war. Our
understanding with England has pro
voked a vigorous though unofficial pro
test from her representatives here.
Since then our rotations have become
to a certain extent strained. Germany,
ever on the lookout for complications
which might lead to her own advan
tage, steps in. Her attitude toward
Russia Is changed to one of open and
profound sympathy. Russia In her des
perate straits rises like a starving fish
to a fat fly. Here It is that our secret
service steps In."
'Our secret service and her allies,"
one of the other men murmured.
'Exactly! We pass now Into the
consideration of facts which need one
thing only to Justify our course of ac
tion. Evidence is brought to us that a
secret meeting took place between tbe
czar of Russia and the emperor of Ger
many. From all the Information which
we have collected that meeting waa
possible. I personally believe that It
took place. A treaty Is said to have
been drawn up between them having
for Its object the embroilment of Eng
land with Russia and alliance of Ger
many with Russia? so far as regards
her quarrel with England. We know
that Germany la secretly mobilising
men and ships.
"We know that tbe ambition of the
emperor Is to possess himself of the
colonies of Great Britain, if not actu
ally to hold his court In London. We
know that bis Jealousy of King Ed
ward amounts to a disease. - We know
that be la a man of daring and violent
temper, with an Indomitable will and
an unflinching belief In his own infalli
bility and tbe Infallibility of bla army
and navy. We know that be has at
least a dozen schemes for a sudden at
tack upon England, and, mighty though
the navy of Great Britain Is, It Is not
In our opinion strong enough to pro
tect her shore from the combined Bal
tic and German fleets and also protect
her colonies. England, through our
friendship, has been warned. She pro
poses with most flattering alacrity the
only possible counter stroke an alli
ance with ourselves. We must decide
within twelve hours. Tbe treaty lies
npon my desk there. Upon us must
rest the most momentous decision
which any Frenchman within our rec
ollection baa been called upon to make.
What have you to aay, gentlemen r
There was a short silence. Then the
man who .sat at XI. Grlsson's right
hand spoke.
"Tbe issues before us." be said slow
ly, "are appalling. Every Frenchman's
blood most boil at the thought of Ger
many greedily helping herself to tbe
mighty wealth and power of Great
Britain-becoming by this single mas
ter stroke tbe strongest nation on
earth, able to dictate even to us and to
send her word unchallenged through
out tbe world. It U a hideous picture.
It must mean the abandonment forever
of tbe hope of every true Frenchman.
Every minute will become s menace

British gold and British ships st his
back, will never forget to flaunt him
self before us to our eternal homllla-

aelglibor remarked, "that Germany

Qniet reply. The navy ef Great Brit

speak. Is eoormons. She is opes to be

"Let aU these things be granted."
the third mss said. -ven then are we
free to enter rate this alUancs with
EogtsadT Our treaty with Bossta re
main. We bsvs so proof that sbe has
brekra faith with no. If this secret
treaty between Bnesls asd Germany
really exists it I ef eosree another
matter. Bat does It? We bars noth
ing bat the word ef an Cattish boy.
The rest m ah assumption. The whole
affair might be a nightmare. We
might sign this treaty with England
and flod afterward that ws bad been
the victim ef s trick. We ahoold be
perjured before tbe face ef all Europe,
and ear greet s asocial mterests la
Beesta would at sees be placed In a

feet .

himself not to keep me more than Ave
minutes. I bad better receive him. Ex
cuse me, gentlemen."
The two men were left alone. The
elder and stouter ot the' two busltd
himself with an Inch rule and an atlas,
He seemed to be making calculations
as to the distance between Cherbourg
and a certain spot In the North sea.
"What la the chief's own mind?" his
tompanlon asked. "Does any one
know?"
The other shook his head.'
"Who can say? Onr ties of friend
ship with England are too recent to
make this a matter of sentiment I be
lieve that without proof he fears to ac
cept this statement And yet above all
things be fears Germany. There was
aome talk of a missing page of the ac
tual treaty between Russia and Ger
many. If this could be found I believe
that he would sign the draft treaty."
"I myself," the other said, "do not
believe that England would be so easi
ly overpowered."
"It Is the suddenness and treachery
of tbe attack which counts so greatly
In Its favor," his companion said. "It
might be all over In two days before
sbe could assemble a fifth part of her
forces. If our Information Is correct
Germany has men enough mobilised to
run huge risks. Besides, you- know
how Lafarge'a report ran and what ha
said. Tbe German army is beginning
to suffer from a sort of dry rot as
must all Institutions-which fulfill a
different purpose than that for which
they exist The emperor knows It
If war does not come Germany will
have to face severe military troubles."
"I myself am for the alliance."
"And I," the other replied, "if proof
of this Germano-Busslan understand
ing could be produced."
M. Grlsson returned. He carefully
closed and locked the door behind blm.
"Gentlemen," be said, "the German
ambassador has Just left me. His
mission in every way confirms our se
cret information. He has been In
structed to inquire as to our attitude
In the event of any British Interference
with tbe Baltic fleet while In borne wa

The two men looked up expectantly.

Ulysses S. Grant
1 J. .I. BVGEHTOf.
Hi did not
know how to
quit.
UP to tho time of the civil war
Ulysses S. Grant was practical
ly unknown. Then famo came
upon him suddcujy and over
whelmingly, it woe as though all of
the earlier part of bis HMiad been a
waiting tlnio, a preparation. Onco In
tbe glare, be was there to stay. No
more escapo for blim Ho mnst play
his part henceforth with the eyes of
tbe world upon him. - It Is questionable
if Grant enjoyed this publicity, but,
whatever his personal feelings, bo bad
the dogged determination to go through
with whatever was thrown in bis way.
Tbe remark of his wife that, "Mr.
Grant is an obstinate man," showed e
promlnant quality that made for the
general's success. This trait was
shown even In his boyhood. Tho story
la often told of bis feat of loading logs
unaided and alone. Usually several
men did this work, and tbe duty of the
alender lad was to haul tho logs to
tbe sawmill. One doy he found the
men absent. Instead of going home, as
most boys would have done, he deter,
mined to do tho loading himself, so In
vented a contrivance which by tbe aid
Of one of the borses enabled blm to
perform the task. This act made him
famous In the neighborhood.
Bulldog tenacity, sheer hanging on
whatever befell, persistence that novor
let go tills seemed to be the predom
inant characteristic of Grant Ho did
not know how to quit. Onco started
on a task, he seemed to have a phys
ical Inability of stspplng until the
thing was accomplished. If be could
not smash his antagonist, be would
wear him out. He never planned for
retreat Perhaps he did sot know how
to retreat His plan seemed to be to
hit first and keep bitting, to drive on
and on till be won, to fight and still
fight until either bis antagonist or him
self was Incapacitated for farther con:
filet "I propose to fight It out on this
line If It takes all summer," be wlrod
to Washington, .and the succeeding
campaign showed that he meant all
and a little more than be said.
