Weeks later, Harrison Grant and Dixie Mason stood on the balcony of
the Criminology Club, looking down into the street below. Here, there,
everywhere, newsboys were shouting the news of the declaration of war.
From far away, came the sound of a military band. Then, marching down
the street, their files straight and clean, their arms shining brightly
in the sun, their strong, sturdy forms showing the sleek-muscled
strength that only American fighters possess, marched the crack Seventh
Regiment of New York on its spring parade. Harrison Grant watched, his
eyes gleaming happily.
"Dixie," he said at last, "I never saw anything to give me so much
happiness--and yet, so much sorrow."
"And why the sorrow?" She looked at him quickly.
"Because, now that we have finished our work for the safety of America
at home, we must part. I received this morning my Commission as a
captain in the Army Intelligency. My work will be abroad."
"And mine will be abroad also," said Dixie quietly.
"Abroad? You----?"
"In the Red Cross."
Harrison Grant laughed happily. They had stepped into the club-rooms
now, the heavy curtains of the windows falling behind them. Grant took
the hands of the girl he loved into his--and held them tight.
"Do you know----" and there was a strange little halting in his voice,
"I believe that I could make a record for myself if I only knew that--"
"What, Harry?"
"That--well, that there was a Mrs. Harrison Grant watching my progress
and----"
"Well?" Dixie was smiling. Grant slowly drew her toward him. "Well?"
she asked again.
Harrison Grant stammered.
"And--and, oh, you know what I mean!" Then, his words failing, he
looked quickly over his shoulder, saw that no one was watching, drew
the little Secret Service girl tight into his embrace--and kissed her.

Transcriber's note:
Original spelling has been retained.
I have used von when the character's full name is given e.g.
Heinric von Lertz and Von when only his family name is used, with or
without a title e.g. Von Lertz, Ambassador Von Bernstorff.
