(Chapter Thirty-Two Continted.) temper. Ba

temper Barcus, coming drowsily
away from his compartment at the
same time, was Jared wide awake by
sight of the foreboding countenance
she wore; and after moment of doubt
followed her back to the lounge at the
rear of the car.
He got there in time to see her at
rigid standstill, staring steadfastly at
the two figures so close together on
the observation platform. But on
his appearance Judith shook herself
together, snatched up magazine, and
plunged wrathfully into an easy chair,
burying her nose between the pages or
the publication with every indication
of deep interest in it's text.
Mr.. Barcus, however, had learned
the lesson of bitter experience to the
effect that the outward bearing OF
Miss Judith Urine was no sure index
! to her inward humor-unless, that Is,
Pit might be taken to indicate the d.
rect contrary of its semblance;
though even this was no reliable rule.
Reminding himself of this, he there
fore invented a morbid interest In an
other magazine-round the edge OF
which he kept a wary eye upon the
young woman.
For all her evaporation, Judith con-
tanned herself longer than might have
been expected. Her continued show
of placidity, indeed, lulled Barcus into
dangerous feeling of security. Per-
suaded that she meant to behave, he
gradually ceased to watch her as mar
rowly as at first, and lost himself in q
morose reverie whose subject was the
seemingly permanent mourning into
which he had plunged his face and
hands for the purposes of bis mas
misunderstanding them a shade OF
| ebony upon which soap and water and
scrubbing had no effect whatever. And
he had invented a most excruciating
method of reyenging himself upon the
druggist who had taken advantage OF
his confidence and sold him the In
eradiable dye-when he was reused by
the sudden fight Of magazine across
the car, missing his head by bare
two inches, and the bang Of chair
overturned by Judith as she jumped
up and flung herself furfously toward
the door,
Just what had happened on the OBJ
servation platform Barcus didn't know,
but he could readily believe that the
lovers had just INDUCED in some espe-
cially provoking and long-drawn-out
caress.
He overhauled Judith none too soon.
In another moment she would have
had her sister by the throat-if her
purpose had not been to throw Rose
bodily overheard, as Barcus suspected.
Happily, he was as quick on his feet
as Judith on hers; and almost before
he had grasped the situation, he had
grasped her-had seized her arms and
drawn them forcibly behind her back.

Lowicz, where the Russians took ten
miles of German trenches between
Glovno and Sobota, according to In
formation received through trustwor
thy sources.
Glovno is sixteen miles northeast
of Lodz and Sobota is twelve miles
north of Glovno. The trenches were
protected by triple earthworks and
wire defenses.
1t is semi-oficially announced that
the Germans have received reinforce
ments of two infantry divisions and
one cavalry division.
The occupation of Glovno, B1elavy
and Sobota straightens and strength

miles ahead in its advance on Stry

and puts the German center under an
attack from Glovno and LODI.
Military experts are Of the opinion
that the German position around
LODI is far more critical than 1t was
during the initial reverses around
Warsaw a month ago. They point out
that the German army is 100 miles
from Thorn, its base, and the fact
that the occupation Of its present po
sition was so precipitate indicates
that the line of retreat was not well
organized.
Military observers also maintain
that the Germans would be greatly
handicapped by the withdrawal even
should they execute the movement ii

light, according to Captain Davies, of
tie steamship Etonian, from London.
Captain Davies said that he passed
the mine while his ship was bound in.
The spot where the mine is said to
be adrift lies in the pthway travelled
by all transatlantic vessels leaving

How the mine happened to be there,
by what agencies it was set adrift,
whether its presence was accidental
or by design are problems to be clear

placed adrift in the belief that 1t
might eventually find lodgment at the

The only warships seen recently
near New York harbor have flown

ish warships patrolled the doorway to

Ear to seek: at the far end of the car
Alan was bending solicitously over the
chair in which Rose was resting. One
OF his arms was around her shoulder.
L4r face was lifted confidently to his.
Barcus unused morosely on his ap-
prehension of trouble a-brew, simmer
ing over the waxing fire of that strange
woman's jealousy. He didn't like the
prospect at all. If only Alan al nd Rose
hadn't been so desperately in love

leave her behind when he started in

suit-as Barcus firmly believed it must
be-loaded to the guards WITH Trine's
INSCRIPTIONS hirelings!
No telling when they might catch
up!
The fear Of this last catastrophe
worked together with his fears of Ju-
dith to render that night a sleepless
one for Barcus. He spent it lii a chair
whence he could watch both the door

for her own formerly Mafrophat's
quarters) and the endless ribbons of
steel that swept beneath the tracks.
But nothing happened. He mapped
uneasily from time to time, waking
with a start of fright, but always to
find nothing amiss. Ever, Judith
stopped behind that closed door, and
ever the track behind was indecent of
the glare of pursuing adkght.
Nor did anything untoward mark the

with her father behind the closed
door of the drawing room were to be
counted ominous.

It was a man-size job. For the ensu
ing five minutes he had his hands full
of violently resentful and superbly
able-bodied young woman. Only with
the greatest difficulty did he succeed
in wrestling her up the aisle and to
the door of her compartment, where
an even more furious resistance for
some additional minutes prefaced the
ultimate closing of the door upon the
maddened Judith Even then he might
not draw a free breath: there was no
way of locking that door from the out
side; and he dared not leave go the
