goods in the markets today. We bought early be-
STYLISH, UP-TODATE HIGH GRADE GOODS
AND 50 CHEAP that were tempted by the fact
to buy too many.
Il is not often that man gets to much of q

this enormous stock of Fall and Winter Merchandise
The only thing left for to do is to cut the prices
offer the goods basis that will insure their inn

reduce this stock by one-half within the next
thirty days. Cost us what it may. Now is the time
to buy. Cash only in this sale.

Clem was a joyous young girl, very

housekeeper, her former nurse.
Being II and unacqualnted with the

pleasures consisted In much reading,
unlimited rambles through the woods

he proclaimed his pacific intentions, his

but with no better success. Supposing
the hut deserted, Ned gave the door a
wrench and, throwing it open, stood
dumfounded at the spectacle within.

Glen was equally impossible.

Nor would he be gainsaid. Glen was
forced to admit, now that her fears
were allayed that she was mortally
tired and spent. Sinking on the soft
balsamic leaves and covered with
Ned's overcoat, which he wrapped
around her with masterful obstinacy,
unheeding her remonstrances, Glen
soon fell into profound sleep, while
Ned paced back and forth outside,
smoking and replenlshing the fire he
had lit. 1t was its glare, a long dis
lance off, which guided DR.. Randolph
to the hut some two hours later.

shaking him violently by the hand,
Ned led him to the door and showed

out England.

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.--A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says:
That the French government is pre-
pairing for war there can no longer be
any doubt"
The Fall Mall Gazette makes this
statement editorially. 1t does but put
in concrete form what newspapers in
all parts CT England have been saying
in more yelled way for three days.
A remarkable war scare has spread
through England No particular incl
dent Of Importance started it. but doz-
ems Of little suspicious indications are
adding to the scare laiIy.
There Is absolutely no reason for war
between France and England save the
implacable hatred Of every class Of
each nation for the other. The Paris
ian newspapers continuously rIdicule
the English in articles and cartoons.
and the London papers reply
ponderously with assaults on the in
stability Of the French government
and the failure Of the exhibition.
Newspapers in all parts Of England
have contained scare articles during
the last three days on the active
French military and naval prepara-
tions, such as laying in supplies Of coal.
Strengthening the fortified seaports,
increasing the navy. stationIng more
ships at Calais. Brest and the chan
mel ports. arranging for extensive aut-
umn maneuvers close to coast towns
and the unusual activity on both land
and sea.
What specially have scared the Eng
lish are the French experiments with
submarine boats. The English navy
has no such boats. while France is
supposed to have several effective ones.
These submarine boats are liable to be-
come a nightmare in England. as their
powers are already being magnifed
tremendously.
The first official recognition of this
state Of things came today when the
orders Of the English admiralty for in
creasing the channel fleet became
known. 1t is the custom to keep the
larger portion of the home squadron
in reserve and out Of commission at
the naval stations. All the usual naval
reserve squadron win now be put into
commission. The newest and best bat
tleships ard cruisers are to be kept in
constant readiness. The home fleet
will be divided into two squadrons. one
never to leave the coast. the other new
er to go further than Gibraltar.
Many ships are to be fitted out with
wireless telegraphy and the channel is
to be patrolled by torpedo boats.
The English correspondents at Paris,
in explaining why France. though bes-
towing decorations on representatives
of all the other principal countries at
the exposition omitted so to honor
those of Great Britain. say that the
British commissioner. when required to
designate those worthy OF decoration.
replied that the laws Of his country
did not allow him or his official as
soclates to accept decorations.
