Grew Despite a Parting
Of the Lovers

Camden. Aug. 3.-"When we are big
Wen be married. won't we. Kate?'
Maybe"
Ten years ago. TWO romping frolicking
children. one a sturdy determined boy Of
e.evan years. the other tot two years his
junior frai in stature but possessed
with childish beauty. bewitchins eyes and
che ks aslow with natures radiant hue,
symbolcal of womanly health and FEM

one summer day beneath the ems In
Camden's public school yard.
During the remaining school years this
manly little fellow was true 10 his young
hearts love.
These were Walter Conner, Of this town
and pretty i<atie Tiolllnger, OF Woodside.
But when young Conner went out to
fight iifes battles. IL was the decree Of
fate that the two youMfui lJvors should
separate.
Many were the sshs and tears as these
sweethearts clasped each other I'm sad,
ling ring but anectonate farewell plcdg-
ing unto each. manly devotion and wo-
manly falthfuness.
The Conner family and the Holingers
through series Of movngs lost track Of
each other.
For nine years iover ana sweetheart
never met and as Conner developed into
manhood a tinge of sadness was deeply
engraved upon his youthful countenance.
1t was the pining for the sweetheart Of
his boyhood days.
None save himself knew where the root
of this sorrow lie.
His utter disregard for feminine asso-
citation was remarked upon, yet his great
respect for the fairer sex was pronounced
and he was plaudej for his gentle man
ners and courteous attentions to all.
IL was during recent months Conner
learned that the Hol.ingers lived at
Woodside.
His heart rapturously beat as he
thought Of his Katie-the sweetheart OF
years gone by and the idol whose image
he had worshiped for these nine years
living 80 near.
And that Sunday night-three months
ago-ne will never forget. Conner trem.
bled as he knocked at the door of the
Hoilinger homestead near Woodside.
The beauty Of Katie dazzled hlm-hei

No suit was to renew, no heart was tC

years

According TO reports received during
the last few days. General KuroH has
effected a concentration OF his forces
in order 10 strike in the direction Of
Siamatsze snd Iiaoyang
"All the Japanese troops which were
posted in the direction Of Bensikhon
and near Sassyr seemed TO be intended
to operate on the right bank of the
1aitse river
'The enemy is acting undecidedly on
the southern front. but reconnois-
sance has ascertained the beginning of
a turning movement of the left wing Of
our troops posted at Haicheng by at
least three Japanese divisions"
General Sacharoff. under date of Aug
1, reports obstinate fighting in the di-
rection of the Siamatsza-Li LiNyang road

and on July 81 and during recOnnois

two officers were killed and one officer
and twenty men were woun6ed. The
same day when the Japanese occupied
the pass between Yanshukan and Hout-
siatze, twenty-five miles from Lao

wounded
The news of the return of the Vladi-

feeling Of dependency created by Gen
eral Kuropatkin's telegram TO the en-

report of the cruise points out the utter
inability of the Japanese warships TO
follow up the three Russian cruisers.
The Japanese were apparently unable

lays assault on the inner defenses on
'he northern and eastern sides of Port
Arthur has failed, according to advices
brought by two junks which have ar
rived here. A Russian who escaped
from Port Arthur via Pigeon bay on
the night of July % states that the
earth trembled under the terrific can
nonading which began at 4 a. m. on

wounded during the assault numbered
between 5000 and 5000. The Japanese
in their repeated assaults against the
east forts on the hills through barbed
wire entanglements and over mines
displayed fanatical bravery. They
were moved down by the hail of
shells and bullets and the explosion of
mines under their feet Their losses
are estimated at 10000.
As related by the passengers from
the two juEks, the japanese advance,
which began from Kwokau before day

At Yushulikzu the Russians had two
divisions of infantry and some artil-
lery. and they resisted the Japanese
assaults vigorously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn

Japanese carried the Russian right and
left wings. but on account of the

was made at ! o'clock on Sunday. and
by nlghtfall the Japanese were in pos
session of a majority of the Russian
positions. although the enemy had re-
sisted with determination. The Japa-
nese force passed the night in battle
formation, and another assault was
made on Monday at dawn. BY 8
o'clock Monday morning Yangze pass
and the surrounding heights had been
captured. General Kuroki explains the
slowness of these actions by saying
that the difficult topography of the bat
tlefelds made it impossible to secure
good artillery positions and that the
great heat fatigued his troops.
The Russian force at Yangse pass
was estimated at two and one-half di-
visions and four batteries of artillery.
The enemy retreated toward Tang

not given. The Japanese casualties are
