"What are you looking at there?" growled the policeman. "Get up, can't you! No one but the Coroner has right to lay hand on anything here." "I'm doing no harm," the woman protested, in an odd, shaking voice. "I only wanted to see what the poor thing had on. Some blue stuff, isn't it?" she asked me. "Blue serge," I answered; "store-made, but very good; must have come from Altman's or Stern's."
Their love never for a moment obscured Stern's recognition of the girl as primarily a human being, his associate on even terms in this great game that they were playing together, this tremendous problem they were laboring to solve the vastest and most vital problem that ever yet had confronted the human race, now represented in its totality by these two living creatures.
The girl and he now faced these, without the social cooperation which they had formerly taken entirely for granted, and the change of conditions had begun to alter Stern's concepts of almost everything.
"The same old world, after all the same, in spite of everything thank God!" he whispered, his very tone a prayer of thanks. And suddenly, though why he could not have told, the grim engineer's eyes grew wet with tears that ran, unheeded, down his heavy-bearded cheeks. Stern's weakness as he judged it lasted but a minute.
They're coming!" cried the voice of the German soldier at the wall, and wrenching his wrist from the clasp of the dying man, Blakely sprang recklessly to his feet and to the mouth of the cave just as Stern's carbine broke the stillness with resounding roar. Half a dozen rifles barked their instant echo among the rocks. From up the hillside rose a yell of savage hate and another of warning.
The girl laughed suddenly in spite of herself "Ach, David, you're awful simple! Abody has to laugh at you. I was mad, for when I was in Greenwald I was smellin' a rose, that pink rose you gave me, and some lady on Mollie Stern's porch laughed at me and called me a LITTLE DUTCHIE! Now wouldn't you got mad for that?" But David threw back his head and laughed.
After a pause, another subdued voice 'Her stern's coming down just exactly right, by George! 'Now she's in the marks; over she goes! Somebody else muttered 'Oh, it was done beautiful BEAUTIFUL! Now the engines were stopped altogether, and we drifted with the current. Not that I could see the boat drift, for I could not, the stars being all gone by this time.
"Is it really possible that you did not know?" Mrs. Van Reinberg asked. "She left just as we went in to the meeting. Mr. Stern's automobile is taking her to the depot." "I had not the slightest idea of it," I declared. "Do you mean that she is not coming back?" "Not at present, at any rate," Mrs. Van Reinberg declared. "You mean to tell me, Mr.

Kamrou stood fast till Stern's right hand had almost gripped his throat for Stern, the challenger, had to deliver the first attack. But suddenly he slipped aside; and as Stern swerved for him, made a quick leap.
Stern's genius was surpassed, though in a different direction, only by that of Elijah Vilna. This invention was followed by another, "a topographical wagon for the measurement of level surfaces, an invention of great benefit to both civil and military engineers." He also constructed an improved threshing and harvesting machine and a sickle of immense value to agriculture.
