And Algernon grew embarrassed with
an embarrassment he could not fight
against and with which he never rem
embered to have been afflicted before,
and again he grew haughtily cold,
wrapping his blanket around him with
the air of Roman emperor. while the
girl strove not to laugh and keep her
eyes firmly turned from the incongru-
GUS spectacle of his bare legs. They
parted and Algernon watched her walk
away through the aisles of the drip
ping trees with mingling of feelings
he had never suffered before when
parting with pretty girl, feelings Of
relief and yet dismay, of foolish joy
that had no reason, and sadness that
had less, feelings strange and, on the
whole disagreeable.

He gazed down at the gray-green

wondered what to do, what to say,
Did she already suspect that he was
Todd himself? No, she was too brave
a little woman to face the situation
thus. She would ask him frankly II
he were not, giving no excuse for her
conduct, no supplication for mercy,
for leniency. But why had she told
him? He was taken completely by
surprise and for the time could think
of nothing to say.

CHAPTER vi.
The Woman of il,

Later in the morning, as Algerncn
smoked dreamily in the shade of some
cliffs, he noticed Molly and Hancock
out in the motor-boat. and in the after.
noon Hancock came for the girl In his
great red touring car Algernon shook
his head in the privacy of the garage
as they whirled by, Molly, he thought
should be careful or there would be so
much gossip it would get into the
papers and that would be the end
the pleasant little arrangement Ii
had all made for the passing of the
summer and early fall. OF all places
best suited for the growth and spread
Of gossip, the country was the most
to be desired.
"They will talk about her in the
slightest excuse" he unused. as he
tinkered with the machines, "and
thoroughly enjoy it. She ought to be
careful. If the great name Of Todd
once gets into the papers, mama will
be sure to see 1t and then gcod-by to
my Job and my worthy ambition to
work for my keep. She is so clever,
wonder why she is so stupid as not to
realize that she Is, for the time being,
the center of the universe up here. and
that everything she does will be talked
about? suppose that the woman Of
1t, like the ways Of God, past finding
out. / wonder what her idea was when
she undertook to play the role of
mama"
Becoming engrossed in his subject,
he lighted his pipe and sought the
quiet and shade Of the wood where
he might pursue, in peaceful medita-
ton and without any danger Of an in
terruption, the slady's reasons and her
many charms.
After dinner that evening, Algernon
went out for run in the roadster.
The night was cool and sweet, with a
touch Of the coming fall in the sharp
ness Of the clear air. The whiippoor.
Wills from distant fields and hedge.

York, but there seemed to be birds
singing and roses everywhere. In the
afternoon she was to meet David
Clark and he was to take her to the
cottage on Long Island. She would
soon be the caretaker within lovely
vine-hung nest and she was to meet
David Clark at the Pennsylvania sta
ton at 3 o'clock. Her smile was Sc.
cretive and in the depths of her eyes
some hidden Joy took birth.
When David Clark was seated in
the train beside Myra he fell to won.
dering why he had never been happy
before. There had been other days
of brilliant sunshine, other days
spent beside beautiful women, but
never before he had been SO COM
pletely contented. He glanced more
than often at Myra's dainty profile
and from time to time inhaled the
sweetness of her presence.
Clark, Of Clark & Dobbs, had very
suddenly and very precipitately fallen
in love.
II was very unhappy this morning"
Myra said, by way of breaking into
Iher companions thoughts, "and now
the whole world is wonderful. l am
going to enjoy being a caretaker-
only hope the house won't rent right
iaway-just as get to love it, She
glanced into Clarks eyes with an
adorable pout.
II may as we'll tell you now" Clark
told her with deep ring in his voice,
chat l am going to tell all tenants
or possible tenants-that the cottage
is damp, that the drainage is unsani-
tary, that it is haunted, and that it is
altogether a most undesirable place
to live in
Myra looked startled, then suddenly
her lashes swept down.
You are not very good partner
for Mr.. Dobbs," she said unsteadily.
Il am q splendid partner" Clark
told her, 'be'caube am going to take
the house myself, and am putting
another rose in the garden"

POPE URGES A
 QUICK PEACE New Head of the Church of Rome Appeals To the Powers-Would Stop the War At Once.

ROME, Nov. 17.-The Pope of Rome has appealed directly to all the pow CTS involved in the present war to make an immediate peace. The Pope offers his services in any way possi- ble to bring about settlement of the present conflict. It is pointed out to the nations involved that the suffer- ing to the people of all countries and especially to the women and children, is intense and that if possible peace should be re-established among the powers of the world.
 Diplomats here refuse to discuss the peace proposal of the Holy Pon- tiff, but it is generally known that they do not believe the war will be stopped until one or the other side is decisively beaten. Great Britain is certain to continue the war until German militarism is destroyed. France wants back her former prov inces and the big indemnity paid to Germany after the war of 1870; Rus sia wants a slice of Germany and a free hand in the Balkans; England will also insist that territorial and financial compensation be given the Belgians because of the German vio- lation of the neutral country.

 It required a grave four miles long and the men were throwni nto the and the men were thrown into the dispose of the bodies of the Austrians. The Russian losses are said to have been light.
 Austrian Fighting Force Destroyed.
 It is reported from Berlin that the Austrian fighting force has ceased to exist. The army has been defeated so often that the men no longer have confidence in the leaders and are de- serting whenever they get the op- portunity. It is believed here that Austria will sue for peace within ten days.

COTTON EXCHANGE
 FINALLY OPENS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The cotton exchange here was reopened today. The exchange was closed on August 4th and has remained closed since that time because 1t was feared that the price of cotton would be forced down if the market was opened. The exchange opened with minimum rate of cents 8 pound, below which sales cannot be made. The Liverpool ex- change also opened this morning. German agents are buying heavily as the British government holds cotton is not contraband and can be sent to Germany without danger of confisca- tion.

AUSTRIA SEEKS
 SEPARATE PEACE Petrograd Report Predicts Important Moves At vienna-Paris and
 London Tested.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Standards Petrograd correspondent says:
 'In spite of Germany's threats, promises, and furious disgust, Austria, the Russian government is informed, would only too gladly retire from the war if she could make terms with Russia direct, with the approval of Great Britain and France.
 "The Russian government is in communication on this subject with London and Paris, and important de velopments may shortly be expected Berlin is exerting the strongest influ. ences at Vienna, but as a fighting force the eAustro-Hungarian army has practically ceased to exist" Ravages of disease have contributed even more than the Russian armies to bring about a desperate state of affairs in Austria-Hungary.
 Any arrangement Vienna makes with Petrograd would of course in- 'clude Servia It is a question wheth- CT Austria-Hungary will not be con- pelled to capitulate ignominiously, if terms of peace cannot promptly be arranged to save her face. Her only alternative would appear to be abject submission to Berlin. In that event it is doubtful whether German aid could long defer the occupation of Vienna by the Russian army"

Russians Cannot Take Berlin Quickly.
 PETROGRAD, Nov. 17.-The Rus sian military experts here state that the allies must not expect the Rus sians to take Berlin quickly. They announce it will take months, as the Russians must always protect the Hanks of the invading armies and must crush the strength of Austria before invading Germany. The Rus sian advances, they claim, are now greater than had been expected by the general staff and so far the war against the kaiser is in satisfac- tory condition. That the czar's troops will eventually reach Berlin is ad- mitted by all military men, who claim that the army is in the pink of con- dition and is we'll officered, well handled and properly equipped.
