ton and unbounded youthful energy
he covered an amazing quantity OF
work. He covered it so well. more
over, that Runnels cOmplimented him.
This stress of labor served one pur-
pose for which he was very grateful:
it separated him from Edith COrtlandt
and took his mind from that occur
renee in the jungle.
Soon after his promotion he received
from Andres Garavel q warmly wOrded
note of cOngratulation. and some few
days later an invitation to dine which
he accepted eagerly.
The dinner proved to be another dis
appointing ordeal. for again he was
allowed no opportunity of speaking
with Gertrudis and had to content
himself with feasting his eyes upon
her. But. although the family were
present en- masse: as on the former Oc-
casion. they unbent to surprising
degree. and he found them truly gra-
cious and delightful
Later in the evening he found him
self alone with CAiGuita and the old
Spanish lady, and. knowing that II q

girl with some degree Of naturalness.

Miss Garavel hid her blushing face
behind her fan. Indeed! You seem
capable of asking that absurd question
under any circumstances"
Il wish you would straighten me out
on some Of your CUSTOMS
She gave him an odd look smiling
timidly.
LAS for tonight, do you attribute any
meaning to my fathers request that
you dine with us?''
"Of course. 1t means l wasn't black

She blushed delightfully."- again

She did not answer, for the old lady
began to show curiosity. and a CONVEX
sation in Spanish ensued which Kirk
could not follow. He departed with a
feeling of eXaltatiOn. Beyond doubt
his suit was progressing-slo per-
haps, but still progressing.
His understanding of Spanish Gus
toms received a considerable enlarge
ment on the following day. when he
met Ramon Alfarez outside the railroad
office. Ramon had evidently waited pur-
posely for him. and now began to voice
protest in the greatest excitement.

LONDON DEMORALIZED BY INVASION THREAT
POVERTY AND TERROR IN COMMAND

London, England, Nov. faint
werp, the pistol aimed at England's
heart"
''Let us be masters of the channel
for six hours and we are masters of
the world" said Napoleon in 1903.
I'VE will show our enemies what
it is to provoke Germany" cried the
kaiser to Berlin mob in 1914.
Antwerp, city as large as Liver
pool and quite as rich, was besieged
and depopulated merely to furnish a
base against England. Yet England
remains unafraid. The man in the
street measures coolly without exag-
gerating or minimizing the naval and
military consequences of the taking
of Antwerp. By Berlin reckoning No
vember will see London under the
terror-feet and submarines in the
channel, Taubes and Zeppelins in the
air.
But, says the man in the street,
Germany cannot use Antwerp as
naval base without violating the neu-
trality of Holland. The city on the
Scheldt has no advantage over Brus-
sells for an air fleet. Zeppelins will
come; they will not return. 1t is en-
peror against emperor; Englishmen
can protect their own.
Invade England" was the war
lords order. Englishmen believe that
the only invaders will be aerial enc
mics. Therefore London is watch
full, but behind the courageous
silence turks the knowledge that
North Sea harbors are crowded with
waiting ships. Should these be destin-
ed not for Cossacks on their way to
France, but for Uhlans en- route to
England then, in very truth, the Teu-
ton is at the gate. For the landing
of Uhlans at New Castle or Hull

into forts and guns have been lavish
ed on royal sychophants. For ra-
dius of 80 miles London is complete
ly surrounded by troops, 100000 ter
ritorials being strategically linked in
formidable ring. At Barnet Heights,
20 miles away, other militia with ar
tillery defend the city's ancient i'm
munity. .....
Nearer still, lies the Welsh Harp
from which an immense moat around
the metropolis could be created with
in few hours. And at Hampstead
and Finchley Heights are the last de-
lenses, so near that they are in the
suburbs. London waits and the wait
ing presses hard -.,t
Wage paying work grows scarce,
unfndable. Within week sixty thou
sand Belgians, many of them highly
educated, have landed seeking any
wage that will save them from star
walton. All sorts of shops are closing.
Only staple foods are in steady de-
mand at prices fixed by the govern
ment. No one has money to spend.
no one any desire for amusement.
Armies of refugees arrive daily to
spread new reports of horror.
The preliminary symptoms are so
familiar. 1t was precisely like this in
Brussels and Louvain and Tirlemont.
After dusk appears new London,
a formless, mysterious city spectra;

asphalt velvet black, the street lights

GOLD IN TORRENT
LEAVES COUNTRY
HEAVIEST SHIPMENT ON RECORD
OCCURS FOLLOWING WARS
ANNOUNCEMENT

New York July 2S.-A torrent of
gold has poured out of New York to
Europe since the beginning of the war
scare several days ago. Since
last Thursday shipments have amount
ed to $22, 2,95O,00O There was no abate-
ment in the flow and the present
movement, it is believed will establish
a new record.
The emergency demands for gold
from Paris and London have depleted
the stock of gold bars at the assay of
fees and as a result some of the gold
order today was in United States coin
of which the government has on hand
at this time an amount exceeding
$34O,O10, 900 at it's various mints and
sub-treasuries. ~ ~
Shipments for the calendar year are
now in excess of 500, 0,O00 This it
is believed, is a new high mark for

TUESDAY, JULY 2S. 1914.
SPELLING REFORM

There has been another ructlon
among the business men in New YORK
concerning the poor spelling of the
stenoeraphers, but this time instead OF
donouncing the girls they are going al
Ter the spelling books. They say that
The ordinary spelling book used in the
Grade schools contains about $4,000
words. that 1850 dr them are never
used in business and that the pupils
in the schools are expected to memor-
ige- and learn how to spell the whole
os them. The result is that many COM
ron words are misspelled, while the
photographers know how to spell many
words that are never used.
The bad spelling is not found among
the stenographers alone. Recently
some of the big concerns have given
out samples of the spelling which they
found in their correspondence, which
shows that large part Of the men in
the business world are very poor spell
ers. In consequence there is very
formidable movement to revise all of
the spelling books and reduce the
number of words to be learned in the
grades to 5000, with other books, for
the high schools that will contain
about 5000 words.
For those who expect to enter col
#1ege there will be another book that
viii contain 10000 words. Some Sc
rious work has been done to find out
the extent of the vocabulary used in
business, and it has been ascertained
that the average number of words US
ell is much less than is contained in
the spelling books in the grades. x
The conclusion is that great deal
of time is wasted in learning words
that will never be used in ordinary bust
ness life. Spelling of the English Ian
guage is almost wholly matter of
memory.

TELLURIDE DESOLATED
BY Big CLOUDBURST
TWO KNOWN DEAD AND MANY
PEOPLE INJURED BY TOR
RENTAL RAINS

Telluride, Colo, July 2S.-Tellu-
ride residents, assisted by volunteers
from other parts of the district, spent
today in clearing up wreckage left by
yesterdays cloudburst and flood, and
searching for bodies of the dead At
noon the number of known dead still
stood at two-Mrs E. E. Blakeley and
Mrs. John Johnson.
The damage proved to be greater
than at first believed, and was 'esti-
mated at $4,000. Powerful hoisting
machinery from nearby mines was
brought to the town and used to raise
the ruins of demolished buildings.
Relief contributions were started to-
day. The western Colorado Power
company, the Smuggler Union Mining
company, the Tomboy Gold Mining
company, and the Liberty Bell Gold
Mining company gave $4,000 each. A
general call for relief was issued.
Several hundred persons are home
less.
A relief committee appointed to
care for the refugees comprises e. B.
Adams, deputy district attorney; John
M. Woy, city attorney; G. F. Loeb
nitz, mayor.
