The Russians are preparing to leave
the vicinity of Constantineple, they are
not ready to go however, until the Turks
have evacuated Varpa. If they did not
take Constantinople, they have forced the
Turks to give up all the fortresses on the
Danube. in Bulgaria, and on the Black
Sea that guard the approaches to it. In
Asia the key citadels sof Kars. Ardahan,
etc, have all passed into the hands of the
Russians, and this with the assent OF
England, the Wanted champion of the
integrity of the Ottoman empire.

WILLIAMS LITTLE GAME.

girl had got her "dander'' up about

munched an apple in a hard-hearted

The policeman held a whispered
consultation with William, and the
result was that the young man went
back to the girl and said:
