This fact no rival ranchman ever
attempted or dared to combat, after
the Valley massacre during an In
dian uprising.
That was an episode Bruce loved to
tell about. Hemmed in, he had fought
his way through a horde of the dusky
savages. Snowfall, with >hoofs and
head assisting, rescued woman and
her baby at the saddle bow, warning

Those were bright, brisk days for
the ranch outrider And then they
became halcyon. Una Dacre from the
East came to Station Ten. Bruce
never forgot the first day he met the
dainty, dazzling fairy who came into
his life as vision-nor she, either.
She had come West to recuperate
from an exhausting social season
She was not an invalid, only wearied
of folly, she told her aunt, Mrs. DAVIS,
the wife of the clergyman at Station
Ten, longing for the inspiring air Of
the mountains and the Stirring and
unique scenes of the great herding
grounds.
Mrs. Davis was at the garden gate
as Bruce rode by, and had halted him
for neighborly chat. Then as there
was f1utter of white dress on the
porch, she called out:
una, my dear, you fell in love
with Snowfall yesterday. Here he is
to show himself.
Pretty Miss Daere came tripping
down the walk and was introduced to
Bruce. His bronzed cheek fired at the
touch of her dainty hand. She placed

Germans Are Reinforced.

London, Sept ia fresh German
army OF 10000 men is being rushed
into France, according to authorita-
tive advices from Berlin. The advance
guard already is across the French
border, it IS believed, while the main
army is reported at Renaix, in Bel
GUM, pushing rapidly toward Franco.
This news, coupled with the re
ports from the allies that the German
retreat had slackened. is regarded as
almost certain indication that the
Germans forced back to protect their
lines of communication, believe their
armies sufficiently concentrated &c
once more assume the offensive ana
hope, with the aid of this fresl
column, to pierce the allies lines and
divide their strength.

Defeat Denied In Berlin.

Berlin, by Wireless to Sayyille, L
l., Sept. 15-Official details of the
fighting in France cannot be made
public yet. A new battle is now being
fought which at present is favorable
to the Germans. Reports in Paris and
London saying that the Germans have
been defeated are declared to be I'm
true.
The retreat of the Russian army in
east Prussia appears to be develop
ing into a demoralizing fight. Gen
eral Hindenberg reports the capture Of
$50 guns and from 10000 to 10000
prisoners.
According to reports received hero

tempts at recruiting for the British
army in ireland have failed.

as prisoners in twelve days of fighting
The army Of General DaEkl, command
ing the Austrian left wing, cannot
avoid captivating since it is caught
between the rivers San and Vistula
in swamps, and is entirely surrounded
by overwhelming Russian forces. The
army of General Won Nuremberg, com
posing the Austrian center, has beer
hammered to pieces and dispersed.
The fragments are being pursued by
CossaCks and thousands of prisoners
are being taken daily. The Austrian
right wing is continuing resistance
east OF Lenberg, but its fate is regard,
ed as certain. Ihe most significant
news yet received as regards the Aus
trian disaster in Galicia comes from
Berlin and is the more remarkable in
that it was passed by the German
Censors. The war correspondent OF
the Lokal AnZeiger at Austrian head,
quarters admits that the Austrian Of
fensive has been abandoned in the
face of the overwhelming numerical
VI llt INuoSibh lOAOCSJ t'iAN
that many Austrian regiments have
lost all of their officers.
1t seems unquestiOnable that Aus
tria's entire first line of 100000 men
has been captured or broken into in
considerable fragments. Admission is
made by the Wolff News bureau, the
German news agency in Berlin, that
the Austrians have been compelled 20
fall back in the Ravarusska and Gro
dek districts. Besides the immense
number of prisoners taken by the
Russians, the spoils Of war include
1000 pieces of fortress artillery, $50
field guns, seven standards and twelve
aeroplanes.
The Messagero of Rome quotes
Italian wounded returned from the
fighting in Galicia as saying that the
battles there are resembling a series
of massacres and that 100000 wound
ed have been sent toward Vienna,
These wounded soldiers declare that
the Russians deliberately fired low,
which accounts for the immense num-
I bers of wounded. The MSssagero de
! clares that in Vienna 10000 beds have
been taken for wounded soldiers.
The situation in Vienna is reported
to be indescrbable. The capital is
stunned by the news of such fright
full disasters. The care of the wound
ed alone is a vast burden. Great
crowds OF unemployed are paradiug
and demanding that peace overtures
be made The government is with
drawing troops from the Italian from
tier in the hope that they may check
the Russian advance.

Paris, Sept. 15.-Military observers
here believe that the crown prince. in
command of the army near Verdun,
is in an extremely critical position,
from which he will have to fight his
way out or surrender.
The crown prince has been driven
from his, position north of Rheims and
the French army is threatening his
line of retreat to the west OF the Ar
gonne region. Critics believe that he
may soon be surrounded
Such a result would have tremen.
dous effect upon the war. The Ger
man line would be broken and the
army of Won Heeringen would be open
to attack from three sides. The only
thing that the crown prince could do
according to the critics, would be to
fight his way south of Verdun, and
this is regarded as an extremely
dangerous eXpedient because of the
strong line of forts at this point.
The heavy rains are not likely Ia
facilitate the movement of the famous
429-millimeter mortars that were &c
reduce Paris and which require forty
horses to draw them.
The armies of General Won Hansen
and the Prince of Wuerttemberg
which constituted the center, seem tC
be headed toward Rethel and Mez

ported as still resisting at the souIf
end of the forest of the Argonne.
1t was reported that the armies
the crown prince, the Prince of Ba
varia and General Won Heeringen h2C

that the entire territory of French Lor

by certain critics, impossible. L
