Niennese Quick TO
Resent Criticism OF
Austrion Soldiers
FOREIGNERS ARE WELL TREATED
AS LONG AS THEY REMAIN
NEUTRAL.
by Associated PreSS.)

Venice. Oct. 2l.-A newsletter from
Vienna tells some remarkable in
stances of the censorship in the Aus
trian capital and pays compliment
to the consideration shown to foreign
eres who are still in Austria hungary.
That the warning from the police
against adverse comment on the mill
tary operations is to be taken serious
ly," says the letter, sis evident from
the fact that man who had remarked
casually in Vienna cafe that the Aus
trian soldiers were towards, was
promptly arrested and sentenced to
two years imprisonment with hard
labor with fast day once a week,
and days confinement in a dark cell
once a month. Another man who had
been overheard saying that the Serv-
ians would be victorious received ex-
actly the same sentence"
Newspapers from America have been
held back at the postoffice for more
than three weeks, according to the
letter, and telegraphic communication
has proved so difficult that the people
have practically given up trying to dis
patch messages. For correspondence
with the soldiers at the front special
postcards and envelopes are provided,
and each man may be addressed by a
code number but his whereabouts are
not divulged, and the news exchanged
is subject to such rigorous censor
ship that only few commonplace mat
tiers are written.

permanent guide signs which tell dis

forks and cross roads. The signs are

That many people are slaves to tea
and coffee appears from a statement
of DR.. C. J. Douglass of Dorchester,
Mass. They do not distinguish the
difference between drugs and food in
their effect on the system
There is no substitute for an en-
shaving drug. When the effect OF one
dose has worn off, another dose of the
same drug must be taken or discom-
fort follows, but if nutrition is wanted
a hundred different foods will supply
the demand with equally satisfactory
results.

in small quantities merely because the

A silence commenced eloquently on
this assertion, broken only when Mr..

malignant observation Of the schoon-

Rose in Portland. That's not so far

what better way to take care of an
able-bodied, full-tempered girl you've
kidnapped than to ship her somewhere
by sea, in the care Of trustworthy
hellions?"
Don't ask me-I've done very little
kidnapping for one Of my years"

I'm the injured party-it was my boat

"Oh, let up, can't you!" Mr.. Law
exclaimed peevishly. I'm sorrier than

I've got to buy you another boat. All
you've lost is your temper"

With a chuckle, Alan obediently

"Well?"

about this young woman below. To
me, she's the same that tried to send
me to Davy Jones locker. How does
she explain her presence aboard?"

Then, like the wrath Of God, the
steamship overwhelmed the lesser
ship: its bow seemed to slice through
the schooner as knife through
cheese. And the two halves were fairly
driven under water by the frightful
force Of the blow.
Thu1ders deafening him, Alan was
hurled bodily through the air fully
twenty feet.
When he came. up he struck out at

second impact Of shoulders backed By
hundred and eighty pounds Of solid
flesh and determination, the lock splin-
tered away from its socket, the door
flew open with bang-and Alan into
the room with cry: "Rose!"
His sweetheart met him halfway,
her arms uplifted, her countenance
transfgured.
And Mr.. Barcus turned and slowly
ascended the companionway, his nose
wrinkled with misgivings.
"Blest if / know how he thinks he
can tell em apart" he remarked mot

it wouldn't pain me any to find out

In that case," he allowed, Il guess
the sequel would be apt to prove tol-
cradle agonizing!"
Some ten minutes later hail from
the deck broke the embrace of the
lovers:
Below there! I say-Law!-wind
a-coming!'
"Right-o! Half a minute!"
But that stipulated delay was sew
eral times multiplied before Alan
showed up on deck to find Barcus
bending a laborious back to the cap
stan.
Lend a hand, can't you?" Barcus
complained, blowing heavily. Il didn't
interrupt your amours just to get an
audience. The sooner we get this
anchor in"
Alan checked him with hand on
his arm What's that?" he demanded
in a tone tense with apprehension.
The muffled running Of a heavy-duty
marine motor drifted down on the
wings of the sluggish wind.
Don't ask me-I'm afraid to guess!"
But they couldn't possibly"
"Since when did you set up to be
a judge Of possibilities? Nothing prob

"Then-let's go to it! Give way!"
A dozen lusty strokes brought them
alongside the schooner, and as the
dory scraped the waist Of the larger
vessel the two young men dropped
oars, rose, and seizing the low gun
wales, lifted themselves to the deck.
Nothing opposed them; the deck was
ignorant Of other footsteps than their
own, the schooner as silent as only a
becalmed ship can be.
Without further consultation, Alan
led quickly aft and down the compan-
ionway to the cabin, where dim light
burned-a smoky lamp swinging in
gimbals above cluttered table.
Of the two stateroom doors one dis
closed an empty cabin, the other was
locked.
Trying the handle roughly, Alan
fancied he heard sound within Paus-
ing, he called, with a thrill Of fearful
hope:
Hello, in there!"
The respone was cry Of incredulous
delight: "Alan!"

He woke mutinously, with a yawn
and shiver in the gray of tarnished
daybreak, to find that fog pressed
heavily upon the face of the waters, a
mist so thick that from the stern the
waist of the vessel was almost inGis-
ible, the bows completely so.
Barcus stood over him, at the wheel,
fairly reeling with WEAKNESS, his eyes
blood-shot, swollen, and half-closed in
face like mask Of fatigue.
Cant keep this up much longer"
he apologized thickly; stood it about
as long as l can. Take your trick and
give me forty winks."
Grateful solicitude brought Alan in
stantly to his side, though he himself
was sluggish and stiff and sore in all
his limbs.
You're brick!" he protested. Why
didn't you call me .sooner?"
"No good; l knew the Way-you

horn blared raucously threefold re-

A Double Escape,

On Nauset Beach, in the shank Of e

On the sands, some distance back from
the water, and listened to the heavy
humping Of their overtaxed hearts,
and painted.
Now and again one would lift his
head and stare out over the black face
Of the waters at little line Of red
dish flames about mile of shore, aN
that remained to witness to the fact
that, an hour since, these two had
been in command Of as trim small

AS far out again shone the star
board light Of becalmed schooner,
whose people had been directly respon-
sible for the disaster which had over
taken the smaller vessel.
In the course of time, beginning to
breathe with more ease, one Of the
two marooned gentlemen said:
What I can't understand-anyway
lis why these damned thugs out there
thought we'd be asses enough to stay
aboard the Seaventure and get burned
up"
The other replied: did they?"
Looks that way-doesn't it? II
they didn't, why were we permitted
to swim ashore at our elegant leisure?
There was nothing to prevent their

Maybe they did. at that, and missed
Us. Mr.. Law-and-Order!"
But
