effort for Roanoke. She wanted TO
love somebody and be loved for her

Hampton would still have been in love
with his cousin Lucy. For Harry saw
how the young life had been pressed
into a service too hard for II almost
from babyhood; Harry saw how I'M
selfish she was and trustworthy; how
broad minded and warm-hearted; how
she would like to be care free and ir-
responsible like other girls of her age,
only that the colonel and the estate
were always there, always demanding
her time and her attention. He could
do little to help her as yet, but he
longed to lift the weight and carry 1t
with her not away from her, for the
fairy of a person was not the sort to
lean on others or to be happy without
her share of the burden. Yet, Harry
thought, If | might only help her. and

But Lucy, going about her busy

as the hero of her own romance to
come, she refused to think of him at
all More firmly she refused such an
idea, of course, because her father
had limited that it would complete both
Harry's and his happiness.
Francois, with quick insight, saw as
much as this, and was anxious for the

The Prince Comes.

The glftterfng morning sunlight az
late March flooded the eastern dining
room of Roanoke house. A fire biaz-
ed on the hearth; hot dishes steamed
on the table; the girls face, the crack

from polished mahogany; the soff

aproned negro; all this made the
room fragrant with LONELINESS In

$4,000 GERMANS LOST
AT ANTWERP
NV Assocfated PreSs)

London, Oct. 12.-An Amster-
dam dispatch says It is stated that
the Germans lost $4,000 men dur
ing the attack on the Antwerp
forts. Except for details of Ant
werp's fall the British public has
been without war news for twelve
hours. 1t is believed that momen-
tous events are happening around
Lille, where a cavalry battle has
been raging for week. 1t is indi-
Gated that the German lombard
ment did not damage the city as
much as reported, and the damage
is Offset by the destruction by the
Belgians Of German shipping. T he
value of German booty is not esti-
mated.

BIGGEST OF ALL TOURIST
SEASONS THIS WINTER

Jacksonville, Oct. 12. This will
be Floridx's greatest tourist season."
said Vice President j. p. Beckwith,
of the Florida East Coast railroad,
the Flagler System, yesterday on
reaching this city after several
weeks spent in the North and East.
Every indication points to an un-
usual travel in this State; and such
has been the increase in advance ap-
plications and requests for informa-
tion concerning the State and hotel
accommodations that the Florida
East Coast railway has increased
the number of Pullman sleeping cars
to leave New York for the Florida
travel over it's lines this winter by
more than 60 per cent of what 1t
was last year."
Mr.. Beckwith is satisfied that the
European war and the Pacific coast
exposition have united in making
certain for Florida visit from
thousands more than the State has
ever seen in any winter.
