CHAPTER XII.
Sundry Adventures.


On that night when Rowe had struck
Old Nita and she, had fallen senseless
into the arms of Samuel Hill, peace
and order were long in coming to the
little Summer Garden.
When a light had been lit to dis
close the disorder of the bar, HIS
first thought was to get Nita and
himself away before the matter went
any further. A swift examination suf-
feed to show that she had not re
gained consciousness by the time that
Mickey had begun teIephoning for the
police.
With an effort he gathered the old
woman into his arms, and after a mo-
ment or two. found himself in the
street He extracted the old-fashioned
key from the lock, and. closing the
storm-door, fastened it on the outside
But what to do next? Anxiously he
gazed up and down the deserted. snow
bound avenue At a glance it was
plain that he could not carry Nita to
the car line, and he began, too late,
to curse the lack of sense that had
led them so far afield at such an hour.
At the moment of his despair there
emerged from the basement of one of
the houses "a little down the line the
cabby to whom the solitary remaining
vehicle before the saloon belonged
Whether he was warmed by a success

of an unconscious host in the person
of the cooks employer, or by some
other agencys must go unrecorded
here, but the fact remained that his
good humor was such that without so
ficitation he hailed the little group
in the snow with a proposition which
seemed like beneficence direct from
heaven

Lord Kitchener Thinks War
VIII be a Long One.

New York, Nov. l4.-The Euro.
pean war promises TO be q long
drawn out affair, according to emf
nent soldiers, statemen and bankers
in London, Paris and other cities.
Their replies TO the question. How
long will the war last?" follow:
By Lord Kitchener: -
1t will be long war"
BY Gear of Russia:
There can be no peace negotiations
before the enemy is completely
crushed. /"
By Lord Nortbcliffe, publisher of
the London Daily Mail and other
leading publications:
Expert opinion considers that
the war will be over BY August.
I am not an expert, my war expe-
riences being limited to some days
in France with the French and Brit
ish armies, but [ think it will drag
on much longer.
Modern battles are slow. The
Germans have now for one month
been mourning ghastly losses in a
foolish attempt to reach Calais.
They have 10 possible chance Of
getting there and arei preparing for
another retreat.
If Germany's g navy dares to come
out it will be annihilatcd. ! be-
lieye that it will emerge in a mad
attempt at invasion in combina-
tion with Zeppelins and subma-
rines. %
By Lieut.. Col. Rousset, frances
most prominent military critic:
1t is utterly impossible to predict
the limit of the war. Both sides are
fighting battle of trenches similar
to that at Sebastopol, which 1T took
two years to capture.
I'VE have 1000, 900 fresh troops
ready not far from the front, while
there are other new armies in the
south. In the long run Germany
must give way through starvation.
The Anglo-F French blockade of Tur-
key further complicates the German
food problem.
By T. P. o'Connor, member of
parliament:
MY impression is that the war
will last a good while yet. The only
terms which the allies can accept are
terms y I'M Sermany isl liksly tore
fuse unless she is thoroughly beaten
and that will take some time.
By Josephus Daniels, secretary
of the Uni.ed States navy:
i would not dare even to guess
it. No man in this country can
know enough about the forces, their
position, the capacity, in Europe to
make prediction
