A bitter smile twisted his tortured
features: Then shall my will be done
to him! And then. when / have seen
him die as his father died-then-Ah,
God!-then at last l too may die!
There was long silence. then q
groan OF exasperated protest: why
do they not come? Why does Judith
delay, when she knows how I suffer? ?
Why have I been put off from day to
day with her kilograms that begged
Tor more time and promised every
thing-but told nothing!-until yester.
day. Where are those mes
sages she sent me yesterday.
His one sound hand groped out like
q claw and sought mass of papers
on the desk beside him, sorting out
from among them two yellow forms.
Painfully he blinked over these and
slowly his pain-bent lips conned their
wording;
"'Alan and Rose safe with me-will
bring both home tomorrow night with

then the second: Have motorcar

OF one persuaded by his own desires:

erect and eyes a-blaze.

vibrating like brazen bell at last!
Where Is he? You have brought him?
Where is he?"
With no more answer than a sigh,
the girl dropped her head and let her
hands hang Imply with palms ex-
posed.
After an instant OF 'incredulous dis
appointment the man shot q single,
frigid question at her:
You have, failed?"
Il have failed" she confessed.

She shrugged slightly. who knows
why one fails? I did my best he was

The Germans have concentrated

base. At the same time Russia had
been drawing upon its forces in east

SATURDAY NIGHT
JOKE EXPLAINED
YOUNG COUPLE HAD NO INTEN-
TloN OF GETTING MARRIED.
WAS ALL IN FUN.

The article appearing in The News
on Sunday morning, relative to what
has turned out to have been a mere
joke, has caused so much discussion
among the friends of those who anus,
ed themselves, that they have re-
quested that the facts in the case be
given, and further to state that the
entir ching was joke pure and sim
pie.
1t was stated in these columns Sun
day morning that it was not known
whether a we'll known couply really
intended to get married or whether
they had arranged joke. The par.
ties interested stated to The News
yesterday that aft of those connected
except Rev. c. A. jackson, knew
that it was joke and that, as a mat
ter of fact that it was daughter OF
Rev. Jackson who called az ber faith
er from the Oglethorpe hotel and re-
auested that he come to the hostelry
to perform the ceremony,
1t was not the intention of The
News to make ii appear that the
young people really intended to get
married and that they had changed
their minds at the last minute. but
that is the opinion that was enter
tanned when the article was written.
However, as stated above, the
young people, who were chaperoned
by a married couple, were merely
having some amusement and quickly
explained to Rev. Jackson Sunday
that none of them thought for min
ute that he would be offended.

by the, city officials to have the sta

GERMANS IN FULL RETREAT

Paris, Sept. 15.-The destination of
the German armies retreating before
the allies in France remains a mys-
terry. Many military experts believe
the German commanders are in doubt
themselves. Gen. Won Klucks forces
have already passed the line of Cam
piegne and Soissans, where a defense
had been prepared
Yesterdays communications were
confusing on where the Germans
would attempt to make stand. One
said the allies had crossed the Aisne
river and the other said the Ger
mans were trying to make stand at
Aisne The rigid censorship prevents
definite knowledge becoming public
regarding whether the French forces
from Verdun and Rheims are making
way against the army of the German
crown prince, operating in the Argon-
ne forest. No definite announcement
will be made until the expected action
is taken.
