As I have told in previous chapters of these confess- jons, Harry had convinced himself He had even gone so far as to confide his affection for me to Evelyn Phil- lps, who now, through a combina- tion of circumstances which I could Yet 1 knew that he did not love 1 hoped that he had overcome his insane idea that he loved me, and that he had settled down to the comfortable life of a confirmed bene- diet, but on more than one occasion I had reason to suspect that his af- fection for Evelyn was negligible and { Phillips was grow saw him that he would broach the subject which was so painful to: me. It geemed to me that a girl so beauti- ful as Evelyn, one so desirable from every standpoint, would cause Harry to lose all thought of me or any other woman in his satisfaction in And it looked for a while ag if this hope would be realized. Evelyn, I knew did not Jove him, but it was entirely possible that she soon would, for it would be {dificult to find a young man who ¥ "or 'more ting' when he wanted to be ton, Add to this fact that he was rich enough Evelyn anything that she he . would shoose and it would appear But it was the old story of man the foundation for a life of con- k no pains to hide her feelings from her friends. One could mot converse with her without " Hearning that her home life Was un- I happy. To give due credit to Harry it must be sald that he-mude an effort to overcome this attitude on was nothing that he did not do to make her contented. It seemed that he did not neglect éven the smallest of those trivial things which a husband can do to sméothe off the rough edges of the daily association of man and 'wife, But as he saw his unreturned, "he asked himself 'the question which the faint-Bearted so easily put to thefiselves: What Is the use? And the Wweakling's answer came weak: It ig useless! Thus, as time went on, Harry and Evelyn grew farther and farther apart until they ceased almost to associate. With them there was none of the coarseness which fol- lows sometimes upon the unhappi- ness of a married couple. They did | not quarrel. There were few harsh words that passed between them. Yet they grew apart, each failing or refusing to uhderstand the other, each punctiliously polite yet grow- ing constantly more and more coldly distant as the days went by, until at length they were strangers in their own home, greeting each otlfer politely but indifferently, living their own lives in their own way, apart from each other. I who had seen this tragedy of domestic life was powerless to pre- vent it, however much I might have desired it, my own interest to step into the breach. Nqr was there apy one to whom I might confide my fears, Arthur was not a proper per- son to listen to my misgivings, be- cause I was convinced that it was Evelyn's affection for Arthur which was the root of her indifference to ward her own husband, and I feared to discuss the matter with Aim.

London, Jan. 24 --It is learned up- on the highest authority that the Bri- ish Government has taken steps to meet Germany's threats to throw the island kingdom into the same starv- ing condition as Germany by a sub- | marine, paign. i Three Government departments are Working in closest co-operation to this end and are prepared to ahnounce be- fore the end of this week the plan for revolutionary methods of feeding England with home-grown foodstuffs. These departments are the Director of National Service, the Agricultural Secretary and the Food Controller. She first and most important ac- tion will be taken by Ngville Cham-| berlain, the Director of Natiohal Ser-| viee, who will announce within a few | days the classification of all indue- tries into essential and 'non-essential classes. Workers from the non-es- sential industries will be enrolled to till the land and become real fdod producers. This means that England expects every man and woman cap- able of working with a hoe or doing the lightest farm work to enlist in a great civilian army. It became known to-day that Mr. Chamberlain had been relieved of the necessity of organizing the nation's military forces and will direct his energies solely toward the eivil side and the work of transforming con-| sumers into producers, i Throughout the country women's| voluntary land service corps are] organizing.
