House wreckers leveled to the
ground few days ago the three
finest examples of old time city homes
left in lower Varick street Like the
dwellings in upper part of that thor
oughfare, they have been sacrificed
after an existence Of more than seven
ty-five years to furnish the additional
space for widening Varick street
The three houses which have just
disappeared stood On the southeast
corner of Varick and Beach streets.
For many years they attracted the at
tention of artists and others interest
ed in the few existing memorials OF
earlier days because of the simplicity
and grace of their neat colonial arch
itecture Viewed from the street the
entrances with the delicate door posts
Isurmounted with Doric capitals, and
simple carved design in the arch
way over the door, were their charac-
teristic features. This colonial style
was maintained in a slightly more
elaborate manner inside, especially in
the large front parlor, adorned at one
end with white enameled Doric pill
lars and designs of fruit and flowers
carved in the white marble of the old
fashioned fireplace.

GERMAN LOSSES NOW
PLACED AT 100000

London, Sept. THE Daily Mails
correspondent at Gisors, a French
town near Beauvais, says the total
losses of the allies are 10000 and the
losses of the Germans 100000. He
says a moderate estimate OF the Ger
man losses places them at 20 per cent
at least.
Sheer weight of numbers has push
ed the Germans forward at the amaz-
ing rate of twenty-five miles a day,
the correspondent adds. The Germans
have shown no superiority in artil-
lery or transport. The rapidity II
their advance has been due largely
to their use of the automobile for
transportation.
The British commissariat has per-
fected the following menu for ear h
man on the firing line:
Daily--A pound OF bread with
cheese and jam, pound and que :
ter of bacon. a pound and a quart nr
OF beef, with tea and rum: two ounces
of tobacco weekly.

London. Sept. What was de-
scribed as the arrowhead of the Ger
man army, which has been slowly
forcing its way through the Anglo
French army towards Paris, has made
further progress. according to the Ger
man official reports. and has now
driven the allies back behind Conde.
Cavalry raids. too. are being made
in the direction of the Paris forts,
which. 4 the accounts are correct
will be the next stop of the allies
armies.
This news was a great disappoint-
msnt here, where earlier official re-
ports from Paris to the effect that the
Germans had suffered q check near
Verdun lent the hope that the ad-
vance had been stopped.
In Lorraine and the Vosges region.
where the German forces were weak
ened to strengthen their right flank,
the French appear to be holding their
own, II not making an advance.
Rejoice Over Russian Victory.
The allies take some consolation
from the fact that the Russian defeat
of the Austrians around Lemberg,
which town has fallen into the hands
of the Russian emperor's army. with
its immense stock of war material
and provisions. Is apparently COM
plete. The possession of Lemberg
gives the Russians a base from which
they can work and from which they
can attack In the rear the Austrian
army which has been invading Rus
sian territory.

CHAPTER Xxx.
An EVERYDAY Miracle.


That night, when the curtain fell
upon the third act, Dorcas turned Gag
erly to Merry. "You are my friend:"
she whispered.
Miss Dorcas," the actors voice was
profoundly grave, but his eyes smiled.
IT would bestride the whirlwind or set
my foot upon a cyclone for you
The girl lifted her eyes with swift
glance. She remembered the line-it
was one the actor used to speak in
THE King at Large"

was low and impetuous. II need

as I never did in my life before"
Miss Dorcas, you make me wish
this moment that were Samson and
Solomon. I am not strong or very
wise, but am patient, and there is
no task upon Gods earth that would
not try to do for you. You believe me,
don't you?"
The crimson blood flushed into her
face.
YES" Her voice was scarcely aud
ible. The curtain began to ascend for
an encore. Come to Mrs. Billerwelps
tomorrow night. ! am going there to
stay with Alice over Sunday. need
your help"
He regarded her curiously for mo-
ment.
81 will come" he answered gravely
Then he took her hand and led her
down to the footlights.
On Sunday evening Dorcas sat star
| ing down into a crowded street of
Harlem. Under the vivid glare Of
| electricity the city looked sordidly
ugly. 1t was strange contrast to her
own home The house at Waverly
/ Place had retained much of its stately
old-time dignity and its outlook upon
the three-shaded square was quiet and
pleasant. Upon Harlem's sidewalk
throngs of children romped and
| shrieked in the midst of city's din.
A balrny wind had been blowing all
day long and had driven wintry chill
from the air. Knots of women sat
talking on doorsteps or they leaned
| out to gossip from adjacent windows.
A gilt clock on the mantel struck
seven. Dorcas rose, opened the door,
and stood listening. On the lower
floor she heard door slam. She was
trying to separate insistent noises of
the street from everyday household
hustle She heard Mrs. Billerwen give
an order to servant, then Julie
laughed merrily, and light footstep
sounded on the stair. On the other
side of the wall a servant was pre-
pairing room for her. She heard the
girl slam window and begin to move
furniture about, while casters
squeaked rebelliously. Then she fell
to sweeping, and Dorcas counted alb.
