Moore, put on dust-cap and long apron
and made good her word. But she did
more than clean. From Miss Hard
ing's apartment on the ground fool to
Miss Estrilla's on the top, she exam
ined minutely every garment and
every pair of shoes. When she had
finished, when she stood in her own
room dressing for the street, she
looked very serious. Before she put
away her house-dress, she took from
its pocket the red shoe button. She
inspected it again, and locked 1t away
in the deepest compartment of her
jewel case.
Rosalie walked briskly to a book
store in the heart of the foreign dis
trict, held short consultation with the
clerk. %journeyed another block. and
stood at length before a sign lettered
in many tongues. She hesitated and
began talking to herself.
You can't teach an old dog new
tricks" she remarked.
But sometimes you can brush up
the old tricks he used to know" she
added. It'll take time-well, any
way, I'm herel" and she entered.
When she emerged. it lacked but
half an hour for lunch time. At the
table, she made subtle inquiry about
the plans of her boarders for the day.
Mr.. North, already busy with his
agency. had not come home to lunch
at all. Betsy-Barbara had an engage
ment to help him select furniture. Con
stance must spend the afternoon with
her lawyers. Professor Noll intended
to read a paper at the Health Food
conference. Miss Harding and Miss
Jones never came home between
breakfast and dinner time.
"Now's my chance-while the house
is empty an my nerves good" she
said to herself as the boarders depart
ed.
Forthwith, Rosalie moved a major
piece. She mounted the stairs toward
Miss Estrilla's room. She was behav-
ing strangely. Her eyes looked far
away. Her manner seemed remote to
the things Of this world. AS she
knocked and entered, she passed her
hand over her eyes, " a little con
vulsive jerk. dropped her hand to her
side, and shook herself.
Miss Estrilla lay back among he
cushions in half-light. She seemed to
catch the strange new manner of Ro-
sale.
What's the matter?" she asked.
Rosalie did not answer at once. She
gave a little ~stagger. sank down in a
chair, and began to murmur inarticu-
late syllables in a low and rather
husky voice.
What has happened?" asked Miss
Estrilla again; and she spoke in real
alarm.
Resale sat upright as with great
effort Once or twice her hands
clasped and unclasped.
Give me that glass OF water" she
said In a half-whisper. She drank;
she wet her fingers and dabbed her
temples.
Are you I'll? Shall l e for some
one ?" repeated Miss Estrilla.
I'm better now" replied Rosalie In
a firm but rather sleepy voice. ITS

London Aug. 29th-A Paris communique,
issued last night, says: "The situation upon
our front, from the department Of Somme,
to the Vosges, remains the same as Thurs
days. The Germans have apparently slack

ST. Petersburg states that the Russians have

nauts OF three German corps defeated at

thence. All tire four corps flung away their
arms and ammunition, and even food. The
greatest natural difficulties were the lakeIefs

Does Not Want Men to Change

Matter of Patriotism.

WASHINGTON, March 26.--Presi-
dent Wilson in talks with callers to =

gress were not being asked to change
their personal opinions on the tolls

for its repeal in order 10 correct a

that so long a. the judgment OF the
