Jane in Her Own Element.
When she reached New York Jane
did not head for the bargain counters
of the big Sixth avenue stores. These
were her rightful domain, or had been
when she had gone to spend the few
dollars that her own limited resources
allowed. She rode now to one Of the
more exclusive Fifth avenue shops and
proceeded to make such purchases as
she wanted without regard to cost. The
more she paid the better, for her plan
of concealment would not permit of
her buying too much, and, besides, she
was through with the cheap and
shoddy
Everything In this store catered to
the better tastes of the better class of
people. Even the girls behind the
counters were different. They were
polite and suave, softer voiced anc'
gentler hammered. None of them
chewed gum and none of them called
cash in shrill, repellent tones. Nor
did any of them carry on a conversa-
ton with companion so feet away to
inform her friend that she had had q
perfectly swell time last night" anx

Violent Attack BY German Sue

Terrific fighting, regarded as prob
ably the elimination of the long battle
in Northwestern France, is still in
progress, and the result remains in the
balance. Minor successes are claimed
for both sides, but neither as yet lays
claim to definite victory.
Violent attacks by the Germans.
notably between the River Aisne and
the Argonne district, have been re-.
pulsed. according to an official com.
munication at Paris.
The British official war information
announces that there is no change in
the situation, declaring that the Ger
mans have gained no ground, while
the French have advanced here and
there"
A wireless dispatch from Berlin via
London states that it is officially an
nounced there that there has been no
change In the situation, and that re-
ports concerning victorious advance
of the enemy are untrue.
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander
in-chief of the Russian forces in the
field, announces that the Russians
have repulsed German force which
invaded Russian Poland, and that after
an engagement on the Niemen river
the Germans retreated Continued
progress by the Russians in Galicia is
also reported.
A dispatch from Petrograd reports
that the pursuit of the Austrian right
wing into Hungary by the Russians
continues, and that the Austrian
debacle is complete"
Continued fighting in Belgium is re-
ported in dispatches which state that
the Belgians have repulsed the Ger
man force which attacked Malines and
Grembergen; have reoccupied Alost,
driving back the Germans who bom-
barded the town on Sunday, and blown
up the viaduct at Bierghes, thus cut

Mons and Brussels.
Dispatches from Nish state that the
Servians advancing in Bosnia have oc.
cupied the Romania Mountains, near
Sarajevo and that Servian troops from
Belgrade have driven the Austrians
from Ada TZinglia and Ada Mala, in
fiicting heavy losses.

this little strip Of crisp paper was the
key to lifes real joys; it pointed the
route and paved the way to escape
from the bitter confines Of her impe-
cunious past. She had never a thought
that 1t was not rightfully hers; that
she had not earned it. She knew only
that she had it. So the gambler. when
he has won another mans money,
revels in thoughts of how he will
squander it and is buoyed up to the
heights of all moral oblivion and free

contemplated spending the ensuing
evening with Jimmie" tasting joys
unconfined at the skating rink.
Most of the doorwalkers were in
keeping with the clerks. They were
not dressed in long Prince Alberts as
for an afternoon tea, nor did they twirl
huge black mustachios. They were
clean shaven and neat, and stood or
walked about with some display of
modesty as if they thought 1t possible
that some of their millionaire custom
ers were almost as elevated in life's
station as themselves.
Here was house in order and Jane
reveled in it. No more Sixth avenue
for her; she would leave that to Mrs.
Collins. For herself she was through
with the hoi polloi. She was not one
of them and never had been except
from necessity. She thought of her
home in one Of the larger cities up
state and of her life there when Bob
had courted her five years ago. Her
father was not rich, as wealth is re-
garded today, but he was a well-to-do
and much respected attorney and an
intellectual one If the occasion had
required it he would have taken lodg-
ing at a first-class hotel and done
without meal rather than stay at an
inferior one.
Jane had had year at one Of the
leading colleges for girls and then a
turn in the tide of her fathers busi-
ness affairs had cut short this luxury.
But she knew her art and her music
and she had looked forward with a
thrill and with wholesome anticipation
to her advent in the great metropolis.
She had an inkling of Bob's business
then and business of any kind seemed
better for a man to her than profes-
sion. Her fathers case convinced her
Of this. She was sure that no man was
more capable, more suited to enjoy the
best things of life or more eager to
supply them for his family, but his
calling did not seem to provide the
means.
Jane had known Bob's history at
school. He was leader, as Brand had
said, and she was confident that he
would force his way to the front In
the business world. Not that she was

A Nocturnal Visitor.

l
In the bungalow now a new era
dawned. There was no marked change
in James mode of life but there was a
vast difference in the spirit of it. A
little army of JOY gods entered and
gave battle to the glooms. Every day
in this conflict of mental legions the
! joys triumphed. Not alone did they
| crush the foes of James spiritual well
fare. Such victories won they took
hold of the physical being and with
| deft touch here and there restored it
to the full power of its natural beauty.
They put a light into the eyes that
had seemed, perhaps, a little tired;
added fresh glow to cheeks that had
| become a little wan and gave quick
elasticity to step that had grown list
less.
Jane was really beautiful woman
But she was the type that needs the
full blend of all attractions to complete
| the picture Of the subtle whole. She
was tall and willowy Vivaciousness
| made her slimness a charm; without
this spirit she was thin. So, too, her
hair, luxuriant, abundant raven tresses.
seemed heavy and added years unless
flashing eyes and colored cheeks de-
fed its somberness. And, just as a
prosaic life and tired, dulled senses
had caused the bird to droop, keeping
pace with frayed and worn plumage,
now new prospects and new feathers
caused 1t to thrill and fiutter.
Mrs. Collins, keen observer of all
these changes. literally winked the
other eye. She was not the kind who
scorns gossip but having once met suf-
fcient rebuke from Jane and being
more or less beneficiary of this pros
perity she held her peace. If her
nerves required material relief now
she had but to make the want known.
The means was always at hand.
There came presently into the Rey-
nolds household, however, something
that disturbed even the equanimity of
Mrs. Collins. This was a servant girl.
She was inefficient and unframed, but
she kept James hands out of the dish
water.
"The extra expense is so little," Jane
had told her neighbor. why, / pay
Frieda only two dollars and half
week."
Mrs. Collins turned up her nose and
opined that the girl was committing
larceny, at that. But the idea Of the
hired help" ranked just the same.
She saw that James hands were get
ting white and soft while her own
were red and rough. She sought refuge
In rubber gloves which in many
woman's life are mute evidence of
vanity or pathos as the case may be.
But Mrs. Collins gave them up. It was
no use, she told herself. The hands
weren't all. Jane was young and
pretty and the common bond of COM

MARYLAND
ANNAPOLIS NEWS
STATE NOW OWNS M. A. C.
Interest OF Private Stockholders
Bought BY State Treasurer.

Bought BY state treasurer.
Through the foreclosure of mort
gage given by private stockholders TO
the State of Maryland. the latter
secured sole ownership of the Mary
land Agricultural College. The prop
erty was bought in by State Treasurer
Murray Vandiver. representing the
State. the price bid being $4,000.
Speaker James McC. Trippe and
Ogle Marbury, solicitors for the State,
were present, as was DR.. Harry j. Pat
terson, president, and members of the
family of the institution.
The property purchased by the
State was one-half undivided inter-
est in 2S2 acres of land, improved by
the college buildings. The following
were exempted from the sale: 36 acres
conveyed to John Berry, SO acres con-
veyed to DR.. Montgomery Johns. 43
acres conveyed to Christian Engle and
the portion of ground over which the
City and Suburban railroad runs.
The principal cause for the purchase
of the private stockholders interest
was the fact that the Legislature al
ways has been slow to appropriate
money with which to make improve
ments and to enlarge the scope of the
institution when the State did not have
an absolute fee-simple title to the prop.

marrying him from any selfish view
point. She loved him, but she was
also proud of him, and the last year
or two of their married life had seen a
tinge of disappointment mingled with
his pride. She was still hopeful, or
had been until the coming of Brand
In five years Brand had become a mil
lionaire, though it was true that he
had started from higher plane than
Bob and with much greater opportuni-
ties. But he had made the most of
these chances and she found herself
wondering now whether Bob had done
the same.
All women like the fineries and the
luxuries of life, but some crave them
more than others. Jane was one of
these. She was essentially what Brand
read her to be. She had the fiinesse,
the culture of the so-called upper
classes and the inherent longing to be
a living part of their order. Still she
had woman's instinct for home and
for this reason she had not opposed
her husbands humble venture on
Staten island. She had wished it might
be more elaborate, but since it was all
they could afford, 1t was better than
none.
And Jane was not selfish She knew
that besides the joy Of having her and
her love the five years Of their welded
life had brought few thrills to Bob.
Perhaps some of the glamor had be-
gun to fade for him, too; the long
grind at his work and then the long
idle evenings in the fiat or the fruit
less pleasures of some cheap amuse-
ment in the city. This idea of a home
had been something new. He had
talked about 1t and planned for 1t and
become so enthusiastic over 1t that she
had entered into the spirit of it and
rejoiced with him. And now the spell
of this Utopia was gone, at least for
her.
Much Of her husbands enthusiasm
over suburban life was not shared by
Jane. When they had moved into the
place in the spring her natural love
of the artistic had given her happy
interest in her flowers, but there her
concern in the rustic pursuits ceased.
For his sake she assumed sympathy
that she did not feel. Truck gardens,
Jane thought, were for truck garden
ers and while hens were useful for
laying eggs. they were not interesting
companions.
Bob's school, on the other hand, had
a poultry department that was noted
the world over and while he had not
specialized in that branch of education
his innate liking for all forms of ami
NAL life had attracted him to it. When
his young Plymouth Rocks had begun
to feather out he went into ecstasies
If rooster showed the proper bar
rings on wing and tail, while with Jane
the birds superiority was gauged only
from the standpoint of frying pan.
Such tendencies did not make Jane
one bit less a woman. We cannot all
be Walt Whitmans, and preference for
a steam-heated drawing room to a
barnyard, In woman at least, is no
sign Of perverted morals. But the
hunt for happiness in the cheap sub
urb was, for Jane, a quest founded on
false premises. She knew 1t and now
she turned eagerly to the escape.

Recent Hazing Fatality Causes Change
In College Discipline.
Scholastic work at st. Johns College
got under way last week, with every
prospect for successful session.
The re-opening finds several changes
in the faculty and curriculum. The
faculty changes are Prof. Henry F.
Sturdy, of Annapolis, department OF
history and political economy; Stan
wood Cobb, Dartmouth graduate, de
partment of Englash and oratory, and
Harvey C. Mittendorf, graduate Of the
Naval Academy. department of me-
chanical drawing and assistant in the
department Of physics. A change IN
the official staff is that of Prof. R. H.
Ridgely, secretary to the faculty In
place of Prof. G. L. Lincoln, resigned.
An important change in the college
system Is that in the department of
discipline. This department has been
re-organized at the instance of the
board of governors, the action being
due to the fatal hazing episode last
spring. Discipline is now placed in
the hands of the faculty, and the plan
provides that each member. with the
exception of the president, shall be in
charge of dormitories and formations
for "a hours at time.

MEN OF THE 18th
HEAR DR.. WADMAN
|. ON TEMPERANCE
Nearly Entire Regiment Attends
Growth of Movement
Is Described

Nearly the entire regiment OF the
25th Infantry turned out to hear an
address on the Temperance Reform
Movement by Rev. John w. Wadman.
superintendent Of the Anti-Saloon
League of Hawaii. last evening at
Schofield Barracks. The service was
held in the large social hall and was
attended by 1900 men or more, 300 Of
whom were obliged to stand. Colonel
Kennon presided and in introducing
the speaker Of the evening made the
following interesting and remarkable
statement: "Thirty-five years ago
when + entered the army, any decision
reached by court martial later than
three O'Clock In the afternoon was not
considered legal since IT, was generally
believed that no gentleman would be
found in his sober senses later than
3 p. m. That was an old English law
adopted by the army department and
it is only Is years ago that this law
was repealed. The fact in itself clear.
ly proves the splendid sweep OF the
temperance movement"
Mr. Wadman in his address, which
lasted As minutes, reviewed the his
tory of the reform during the past Is
years and when he named the ten
states which : are now wholly under
prohibition, and mainly of the south,
the men cheered to the echo. They
were evidently delighted to hear that
their own states we're foremost in the
forward movement. They were also
pleased to hear that the army and
navy departments are constantly tax
ing advanced positions in temperance
reform and no body of men is to be
found anywhere of more respectable
and sober habits than the "boys who
uphold the flag" At the close of his
address, Mr.. Wadman took his audi
ence for a little trip through Japan by
aid Of a selection of beautifully col
ored and well chosen stereopticon
views which the men thoroughly en-
ioyed. The lecturer states that he
never spoke to a more intelligent and
responsive body of men than the mem
bers Of the 25th Infantry. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wadman were accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Vim. ]. Weinrich and
were entertained at dinner by Col
