start by yourself tonight And he rose
abruptly and sought his blanket.
A week later they were still there.
Then one day as Raoul was walking
along the bank Of the stream, hum
ming the refrain of little song which
Aliene had sung the evening before,
he saw Pierre leave the cabin and
come toward him. He ceased the
humming and advanced to meet him.

"Why, IL want to go down to the

RaouI, but this valley is the best place
ever saw for home. There is plenty
Of game and-and"-
"Yes, / understand, Pierre" said
Raoul kindly. There was an odd look
on his face as he added: You may go,
Of course. Tell Jacques want to see
him."
Jacques was walking under the pines
with Suzette, but he came promptly at
the message.
II want you to take the men and go
back to the post" Raoul ordered. ssThe
factor will be wondering where we are.
Tell him-what?'
For Jacques was shaking his head
and digging his big feet in the pine
needles.
IF you don't mind, Raoul," he said
sheepishly, I'll would rather you'd
send Louis-no, mean Prosper. Louis

No. eagerly; its Josephine. Oc-

"And Henri and Prosper? Have they
talked 1t over with Jeanne, and--oh, no
there are not any more girls. Which
of them has spoken to Jeanne about

Jacques grinned.
Prosper has tried to- he answered,
sbut Jeanne laughs in his face. She
says she don't want any man. They
need too much looking after But, then,
Jeanne is young" philosophicalIy. "She
will learn better. Prosper says he will
settle In the valley and wait"

Henri to go back, then?''
And you, Raoul," Jacques suggest
ed.
ooh, yes, Of course Well, tell Henri
to come here
Before Henri came Raoul had labori-
ously scrawled note to the factor,
which read:
My Dear Factor-I did not have the
nerve to force the intruders away. And,
after all, they have as much right here as
we. and the country is large. Pierre is
starting to the post today after the good

MEAT; PRICES MOUNT
Packers Put UP Wholesale Figures and
-. Retail Dealers Follow

New York, April 13-Prices of all
kinds Of meat have begun to rise in
New York because Of a reported in
crease in the cost to dealers of about
two cents pound. This advance in
dressed beef by the packers means a
corresponding increase Of from four to
six cents pound at retail son the aver
age grade of sirloin steak, porterhouse
steak and prime ribs of roast beef.
Retail dealers say they received no.
.tice Of the first advance ten days ago,
but postponed an advance to their Gus
toners. However, on receiving notice
of a further rise next week, it was fourxl
necessary to make a change in retail
prices.
Meetings Of the Retail Butchers and
Meat Dealers Protective association
will be held in all the boroughs, to take
action. The Brooklyn branch Of the
association already has met and dis
cussed the situation. Several speakers
bitterly denounced the packers, who
were alleged to be taking concerted ac-
tion. 1t was declared that, while the
advance Of wholesale prices was attrib.
uted to falling off in supplies Of cattle
at the Chicago stockyards, no such fall
ing off has taken place, and that the
raising of prices was entirely u,njus
tilted.

UNABLE TO FIND
THEIR CHILDREN
Little Boy and Girl Strangely
Missing from the Lovain
Home.

Ivor Lovain, 10 years old, and Flor
fence, his sister, 8 years old, who live
at 1902 Columbus avenue, disappeared
yesterday, and all efforts to find them
have failed.
When the children did not come home
from school for luncheon yesterday,
the parents thought they had gone with
some friends. At 6 o CLOCK their fears
were aroused. All the intimate friends
of the family were visited and calls
were made at the homes Of children
with whom the absent ones often
played. But the search was in vain.
Night came and with it a greater fear
on the part Of the distracted mother,
who, sleepless, kept an anxious vigil
until dawn, when her husband set out
again.
Mr.. Lovain says that neither Of the
children has ever remained away from
home before and both he and Mrs
Lovain firmly believe that they are. de-
tanned against their will.
Lovain suspects some persons with
whom he had trouble recently. He
thinks they took the children for spite
work - He has detectives working
and may swear out a warrant.

RUSS ADMIRAL IS
EAGER FOR BATTLE
Course He Is Sailing Shows That
He Is Ready to Meet
Togo.
RUSSIANS DON'T LIKE
ACTIONS OF BRITISH
Ships Of Britons Keeping Jap
anese Posted as to Route of
Rojestvensky.

st. Petersburg, April lathe news
of the northward movement of Admiral
Rojestvensky's squadron and of his evil
dent intention to accept battle when-
ever Admiral Togo chooses to offer At
has for the present stilled all activities
in the direction of peace, and the for
eign dispatches relating to the voyage
of the squadron. are followed with the
most intense interest.
The admiralty volunteers no lnforma-
tion regarding Rojestvensky's plans,
whether his immediate destination is or
is not Cape Padaran on the east coast
of Cochin China. But in naval circles
the impression prevails that the squad
dror will continue northward to the
straits of Formosa, where, if Admiral
Togo does not elect to give battle, or ID
defeated, Admiral Rojestvensky may
seize a temporary base in Japanese ter
ritory, and if it is considered advisable
he may there await the arrival of Adj
miral Nebogatoff's division.
Fleet Carries Rifemen.
It is rumored that there is a force Of
rifemen on board the Russian trans
ports which could be landed for the
purpose Of cooperating with marines.
Other naval men think that Vladivo-
stok is the only base the Russian admt-
raj has in view.t
There is an embargo on news from
Vladivostok concerning the Russian
cruisers Rossia, Gromoboi and Bogatyr,
and it is supposed, tho the admiralty
does not confirm it, that they have put
to sea to effect diversion and prevent
mine laying.
Russians Angry at Britons.
Irritation is manifested in naval cir
cles at the activity of British ships in
Chinese waters, which are reported to
be steaming from Hong-kong to Singa-
pore. The action of the British ships
is attributed to a desire to keep in
touch with the Russian squadron and
report its movements to the world at
large and to Great Britain g ally in
particular, as in the case Of the Brit
ish armored cruiser Sutlej, which ar
rived at Singapore yesterday and re-
ported having passed the Russian see
ond Pacific squadron at daylight April
IL, steaming north. ia
Lack Of Secrecy a Surprise.
London, April l3.-British naval men
comment on the lack of secrecy regard
ing Admiral Rojestvensky's move
ments since his arrival in far eastern
! waters. The fact that he is keeping
to the main trade route, altho knowing
his squadron would constantly be
4 sighted and reported by passing yes
sells, they consider clearly shows that
the Russian admiral is keenly anxious
to meet Togo and fight it out to q
finish.
