TRENCHES CAPTURED.

] suppose their attack on the left finally
decided the wavering Italians, for sud
denly little gray and dun colored figures
came scramblng out Of the first line Of
trenches and ran toward the palms and
there were the $50 Arabs, with Izak Bey,
charging in on the left
There were four lines of trenches in all
and three times the Italians were driven
back In the first trench the Arabs found
nothing but blood and empty cartridges
and twelve dead men. In the second and
third were kit, live cartridges, rifles and
bottles Of wine and loaves of bread But
the strangest thing was that, among the
hit left behind. and on the uniforms on the
dead men in the first trench there were
tie numbers of at least seven different
regiments. and / am told to-day that the
numter has been brought up to nine.
There certainly were not nine regiments,
or anything like that number, in the neigh
borhood Of Gargaresh They had, at most,
three battalons Of infantry. The evidence
that the men were drawn from many diff
ferent regiments seems TO indicate that the
column was sort Of corps d'elite-a body
OF picked men chosen to sever the Turkish
lines near Zanzour.
am requested. for obvious reasons, not
TO publish the total number Of Arabs en-
gagged in the fight. The Arabs who came
in on the Italian left assure me that they
saw Italian officers on several occasions
trying to drive the soldiers back into the
trenches with the fat of the swords during
The first and second retreats.
The third retreat took the Italians back
70 their fourth line Of trenches, and here
they hel4 on. the fight continuing till sun
set But during the night they evacuated
Oargaresh. All were gone by daybreak.
To-day the aeroplane flew over us early
n the morning. and we saw the captive
balloon poised over the high road, much
further west than ever It had been before.

THE ATTACK.

The Italian horsemen rode eastward
along the coast" (my informant is an Arab
who was with the original party), "and
presently came back with many columns Of
men on foot, and as it became lighter We
saw their big guns.
Then we said: Let US shoot at them
spreading out and firing from many diff
ferent places. They will shoot of their
cannon at us, and our brothers at Bu
Garesh and senau Benz Adhem will hear
and come 20 give battle"
Now. the Italians were intrenched, breast
deep. in front Of the palms, and had cannon
and Msxims, and their artillery kept back
the main body Of the Arabs But about
three hundred led by Sheikh Mahomet Lawi
(Zawia), Sheikh Arab lDjebeD and
Sheikh Sof (Mhamid), dashed in under the
range Of the big guns and flew at the
trenches, the Soudanese woman screaming
wildly among them.
Izak Bey led a small force Of mounted
men right away TO the left flank of the
Italians. II was quite a small body Of
men, not more than about $50 strong, and
for time lost sight Of them, watching
the dash Of the three hundred.

War, usually the most practical and mat

his business to spend hours in wordless
communion with the lovely woman hang
ing over his fireplace
What the witchery was that held him
enthralled before her portrait hour after
hour one could not guess, but 1t is true
that not only was his business neglected
but his social duties were forgotten. lie
appeared to have changed entirely toward
Edith Forbes.
Compared to the fascination of Lazy
We're Edith appeared very plain in ms
perverted gaze
Edith felt the GOODNESS and suffered bit
terly when she realized that he was not
greatly affected when she broke the ell
gagement. He seemed relieved
Perhaps John Bicl1nelI guessed the rea-
son. for. the picture of Lady We're had not
failed to fascinate him also.
What is the matter with Philip
Edith asked him one day, for Bickneil
was her cousin and knew all about the
broken engagement.
BfclxneIl looked at her gravely- you
won't believe me, Edith when 1 tell you
painted portrait of a woman-and he
lieve the whole thing a diabolicaI scheme
OF revenge on the part of the painter"
Thereupon he told her about Philips
acquaintance with Rankin Mitchell-of
how the older man had told the rashly
critical younger that one day he Wo3ld
show him what he could do in portrait
painting and of Philips surprise at re-
ceiving the bequest of the picture of Lady
We're.
There is some sorcery painted into that
portrait that steals away his good COM
mon sense-everything that we know and
love in Philip declared Bicknell to the
quiet girl beside him. But what can o
done?'
Destroy the picture" returned Edith
He would never forgive me-"
Then he may forgive me. for I shall
do 1t. Don't you understand, John, that
after it has disappeared forever he Will
be himself once more? He will not care
about Lady Verep'
How can help you Edith2'
Give me an opportunity to get into
Pills rooms when he is not there-I will
run the chance of his anger"
A few days later Philip Ware walked
into his rooms one night and found Edith
Forbes standing before the embers OF a
smouldering fire. 1t had been a fire that
sent out a black smudge of smoke and
left a smell of burning varptsh.
Instinctively Philip glanced up at the
portrait of Lady Vere-it was gone.
He passed his hand over his eyes. He
smiled at Edith in the old way and held
out his hand half doubtfully.
II thought we had quarreled. I am glad
that it was an ugly dream" he STAN
mered.
Edith reached up and kissed him ten
derby.
1T was a bad DREAM she murmured.
and later, when he was quite himself
again she told him of how she had burned
the portrait of the Lady We're and how
the cruel yellow eyes had stared inso-
lently at her until the flames blotted them
out forever.

FRoCKs AS voTE-GErrERs.

Every since Georgiana Duchess of
Devonshire went campaigning, kissed
the butcher and got his vote for her
candidate the women of England have
been actively interested in politics.
They solicit votes directly and they
influence them in a hundred indirect
ways, the best of which have a social
side. Many a man with wife who
has a genius for entertaining has been
dined and danced into high office and
the political hoStesses who have sa-
Ions have a powerful effect upon po-
litical dynasties
American women, too, are taking
up the fashion, but, as a rule, they lack
the training which their English sis
tiers get from girlhood. There are ex-
ceptions, of course, and one of the
best is Mrs. Oscar Stratus, whose huS-
band has been nominated by the Pro
gressives for Governor of New York.
She is the wife of a diplomat, and very
much of a diplomat herself. When
she takes an active part in his cam
paign, as she intends to in the near
future, it is easy to see that she will
do him much good.
Her first statement in the matter
proves that. When a woman reporter
asked her what special activities she
had taken up to aid her husbands
campaign, she replied, Clothes Yes,
I don't mind confessing it one bit,
she went on with a sort of mischiev-
Gus insistence. You know what they
say about a salad, It's all in the
dressing Something of the same
idea can be applied to woman's part
in political campaigns, don't you
think?''
Mrs. Straus has uttered a tremen-
dous truth. She knew it, even if she
said it laughingly. There never has
been a day for the trump in anything,
much less politics, even though some
otherwise sane women think So
Clothes have always counted in all
feminine activities. They have had
their effect on other women, and they
have cajoled man every time.
The Duchess Georgiana knew this.
When she went out she wore her best
bib and tucker and topped it off with
the stunning hat which became her
better than any of the famous beau
ties who have since adopted it. If
