Within 12 hours the movements of Hope Ranger were known to a certain- ty from the time she left her father's door at 25 minuter after 12 until a quarter past three that afternwm.

Then .'he had crossed at Kifty- ninth Street and met her friends at the Plaza, and had gone with Lucia Thorne into the dining-room, remained there an hour, and left the Thomes at 10 minutes past two. At half past two, she had bought a veil in a millin- ery and dressmaking establishment on Fifty.

More than once the successful manufacturer had urged his old asso- ciate to take a position with him, offer- ing Charlie his choice either inside the factory or on the road ; for it was Ranger's firm belief that the vaga- bond, if he would only devote himself to it, would make an incomparable siilesmnn. But Charlie always evaded these efforts at rehabilitation. His especial gifts were various; perhaps the less said about them the better. He employed them when he felt like it and when opportunity offer ed; loafed when he fell like it; travel- ed constantly about the countryâ€" sometimes first class, sometimes in the company of yeggs and hoboes â€" boast ed that he had a more comprehensive knowledge of the United States than any other Wan within its borders, and regarded life on the whole with a cynical, pood-humored philosophy which no exigency could daunt or mis- fortune overwhelm. There was an unwonted tug of sym- pathy at Charlie's wTinkled heart, and on a sudden impulse he stepped over and laid his hand on Ranger's shoulder. "Tough luck, Ixn-ry!" he said husk- ily. "But don't give way like this, old boy. Brace up; it isn't â€" it isn't as if your little girl were gone for g(>od."| "The friendly touch, the sincerity of filling in his tone brought an unex- pected respon.se. A tremor ran through the manufacturer's bent frame; then, with a groan, he dropped his head in his hands. "It's no use, Charlie." His voice came brokenly. "No use to try and deceive myself. She is gone for goo<l." He turned away to hide his work- ing face, then twisted round and be- gan to talk rapidly. Here at last was some one to whom he could lay bare all that was in his mind.

Con): Simply as a small island in the north- em seas Great Britain may not cut an enormous figure in history. But she will be everlastingly remembered as the pivot of a gi-eat commonwealth of sister states. It is among them that her destiny lies. They are the secur- ity for her fame, her influence, and her well-being. Without them she would be a lesser Holland. With them and by their support and co-operation she will always remain the first of Powers. The Englishman who does not always think of himself and his country as first of all units in a mighty sisterhood of nations has no right to call himself British.
