Mr.. Morrington's nother-
in-laW.

"Ahl Morringto1, old fellow, I'm
delighted to see you. Only arrived at
the hotel this morning; had no idea
Of meeting you here. Come into the
summsr-house on the rocks yonder,
and we'll have chat"
And Wyllis Turner linked arms
with his friend Lester Morrington, as
the two gentlemen strolled from the
piazza of Seaview Hotel down to
where the glittering waters of the
Sound lay bathed In the fierce sun Of
an August day. Arrived at the sum-
mer house, fanciful little edi6ce of
green lattice-work, perched on a mas
sive granite boulder, the friends seat
ed themselves and ent tered into con-
versation. .
They both were handsome men, Les
ter Morrington, with his superior
height and irreproachable blon9a
whi.kers and faultlessly fashionable
costume, being, perhaps, the most
striking in appearance. There was
something about Wyllis Turner's
countenance however which that of
Morrington lacked. We allude to a
certain expression of jovial good fell
lowship and warm bonhom'ie that was
an index to the sunny nature of the
man himself. As it is popular be-
lief that constitutionally good humor-
ed men are constitutionally dull ones,
let us hasten to add that Wyllis Turn
er's shrewdness and ready wit were
quite widely acknowledged among his
large circle Of acquaintances.
Have a cigar, Morrington?" his
friend said, extending toward him sew
eral choice looking Havanas, one Of
which Morrinngton accepted. "And
now, Lester, my boy" he con tinued,
laughingly, "tell me all about 1t.
How did you come to do ats and once
done, how do you like its I trust that

Bucharest telegram to The telegraph says :
"The Russians have crossed the Auta la river near
Turual and entered Little Wallachia, which it was
expected hitherto would be occupied solely by the
Roumanians" The same journals Vienna telegram
says "The Turks altogether have captured 200
Russian vessels in the Danube, containing over
10000 hectolitres Of wheat"
The Tally NerSs Vienna correspondent says :
"Along the Danube the commanders of Turkish
fotresscs have published maniestOes urging the in
habitauts to withdraw further inland to the
Balkans. Once more an attempt TO cross by sailing
vessels will be made by the Turks toward Simnitza."
The Hmes's Vienna correspondent says: A few
DAYS ago question arose about the supply of coal
10 ROumanan railways. The Austrian Staatsbahn,
which has advanced considerable sum toward
finishing the Roumanian lines supplies from its pits
in Bauat the coal required for working the lines
through Waachia. The question now is whether
coal is contraband of war. This has never been
settled As the railway company will scarcely take
upon itself to decide the question the Government
will doubtless be appealed to-"
The Bucharest telegram to The Times saws: "The
question now being discussed here is whether the
Roumauian army shall cross the Danube with the
Russians OF simply remain on their own soil to pro-
tect the lines Of communication. Although a
majority of the members of the Government
are at present opposed to the passage of the river
it is extremely probable that the more active and
determined members of the war party will finally
prevail.
The position of the ROumanian general head
quarters Is not yet made known 1t seems as though
the Russians had quietly and dexterously placed the
