background to give him a dramatic
entrance at the right moment. He
was 10 years old, and read and ad-
mired Hawkshaw, Hawkeye, Haw-
buck and all the other great detec-
.tivas, and was kodak fiend.
The lover and the brother sat down
together and talked IN whispers. as
conspirators always should. In fact.
they planned TO strike the trail OF the
colonel, and to strike It hard.
Days and days followed. Sadie
could not write and ask to be for
given. Young Day had banged him
self out and could not see his way
clear to banging his way in again.
The only persons seeming to think
that life was worth living were the
colonel and Tom. Ths colonel car
ried q smile, and Tom carried a
kodak and snsp-shotted the caller
whenever he could get a chance.
The consiprators met frequently.
and after a few days they chuckled
as they met. They had two or three
strangers out from the city TO look
the colonel over. and Tom must have
had the village photographer develop
fully hundred pretty fair pictures.
A month had gone by, and Col.
Duke had become almost an inmate
OF the Bartlett house. His standing
had not advanced with either mother
or daughter. but he was displaying
more cheek. Sadis's chin had come
down in a wonderful manner. and
young Day had ideas OF suicide in his
head, when ore OF the strangers who
had been down two or three times
announced that the plot was ripe.
Young Day braceG up with a hope
full smile. Tom. the brother. laid aside
his kodak for half day, and Col.
Duke invited himself TO dine with the
family. es he had z dozen times be-

London, Aug. 6.--No definite con-
firnation of the reported ultimatum
from Germany to Italy came to hand
here.

German ambassador. left London today.
the American embassy assumed full
care of German interests In the British

self to this business.
II was estimated by the embassy that
there were 100000 Germans in Great
Britain but there were no means OF
ascertaining how many of these had
left since the beginning of serious
trouble between the nations.
Many Germans reside in England in
order to escape military service but a
great number Of these are said to have
applied to be permitted to serve In the
German army as soon as Emperor Will
liam offered pardon for deserters.
SO far tho British government had
issued no order for the expulsion OF
Germans and none Is expected so that
those now here are likely to remain.
British families. however, are dis
charging all German servants, gov
ernesses and chaufteurs. so that the
German Benevolent Societies have their
hands full In supplying the needs Of the

London, Aug. 6-England waited today with
anxiety for reports of the Of the British
fleet of which virtually nothing had been heard since
its departure some days ago under sealed orders All
eyes were turned toward the North sea, whittier it
was generally assumed the vessels had gone to
encounter the German battleship squadron.
Reports of firing and the arrival of number of
wounded German and British bluejackets at Har-
wc the east coast kept excitement at its highest
point this was evidence that at least there had been
contact between vessels of the opposing navies.
The morning passed off, however, without any
definite signs Of an important clash between the
powerful squadrons
Messages from Belgium appeared to indicate that
the check of the Germans outside Lege yesterday had
been severe from reports giving the number of
casualties as high as 5000.
From Rome came report that the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau had escaped the pursuit
of French and British warshps after bombardng the
Algerian coast and had safely reached Scilian port
German war vessels are said to have penetrated
the gulf of Finland and bombarded Sveaborg, the

DOUBLE VESSEL CHARGES.

Washington, Aug. 6.--Secretary Gar

the disposition of American steamship
companies to charge what he considers
exorbitant prices to transport Ameri-

inquiries brought information that ves-a
sells could be obtained for about $500
day. The price suddenly has been:

Il do not intend to have any one get

said Secretary Garrison. The steam,

For that reason Mr.. Garrison said
