London, July 25 European cap

quarrel between Austria and Ser
via A virtual ultimatum has been
presented to Servia by Austria which
demands the suppression of the PAN
Servian movement and the punish
ment of those concerned in the re-
cent assassination of the heir to the
Austrian throne. Diplomats see the
possibility of a general European
war as there is possibility of Rus
sian interference. Servia has not
limited what reply to Austria will be
made but it is not believed here that
it will be favorable. Russia is re-
ported to be mobilzing her army.
This has demoralized the local stock

day said that the Servian govern
ment is cvacuating Belgrade and
her troops are moving south.

Had Miss Isle Vernon decided an
hour earlier that she ought to drive
into the village to post letter and
to get . paper Of needles and some
elastic tape and Q sheet Of music and
halt q dozen Qther things she could
have gone in her fathers auto or in
her own runabout, but when she had
at last made up her mind both ma

There was no steamship line be.
tween the Vernon place and tho VII.
lage, Z distance Of four miles. There
was no barge canal. There was no
Tying machine handy. The only way
to get there just at that time was to
walk.
The letter could have been sent .
month later a. well 90 on that day,
and there wasn't bit Of haste about
the other things. but Miss Lisle start
ed on that long walk It was hot
and dusty and there were no babbling
brooks or shady dells on the way.
After going half q mile the girl de-
cided to turn back. She had turned
when a man came driving up with a
rather smart looking rig. and halted
to say:
Miss Vernon, my name is Fetch

have started for town let me give you
a lift. wouldn't walk the distance
on such q day for q SO bill"
Miss Lisle had never heard Of Mr..
Fletcher, but he did not look like q
kidnaper, and she accepted his in
vitation. At the end of a mile q
buggy. with two young men in It.,
and with their horse on a dead run,
came up behind them and started to
pass. Mr.. Fletcher gave them all the
room he could, but the man with the
reins had planned a smash and he
brought 1t about.
There was q row and threats made
and week later Mr.. Fletcher was
arrested on q warrant charging him
with malicious damage, and Miss
Lasle found herself subpenaed as q
witness for the defense. She had re-
turned home after the ofilcer and her
father had said:
Eyes, I know Fletcher. He ID an
old bachelor, and was sued for breach
of-promise about year ago."
But I didn't know It," protested
the girl.

hadn't better take any more buggy

took Miss Isle in hand for the cross
examination.
He was q young lawyer, and he
wasn't going to spare anybody. After
the usual questions about name, age
and residence, he started out with:

out Of it, except when he came to ad-
dress the jury he strongly limited that
the reason for the collision probably
lay in the fact that Fletcher was
driving one-handed and could not con-
troll his horse.
It did not take the jury over ten
minutes to find for the defendant,
and thus the case was closed. That
is. the main case. Miss Lisle had q
case against young Lawyer Blaisdell.
and though it was never to be tried,
she could say to him:
''I'll follow his trail until l am re-
venged! He knew / was telling the
truth. and yet he tried to make me out
a liar! Think of his limiting that
Fletcher had an arm around me!
"Oh, but l could see him burned at

out one day with her runabout, she
was hating yet.

was q bridge over a deep river. The
girl was just taking the last turn with
q whizz that would have carried
her across the bridge when the man
she hated appeared before her with
q small log In his hands, and the
obstruction was thrown in such way
that the machine was run head on in
to the bank. The driver was bounced
around and some damage done, but be-
fore she could voice her feelings she
was beckoned to follow the other to
the foot Of the hill. The river was
rolling in flood. and the bridge was
gone!

The John Greusel school, opened in
1903, is one OF the most modern and
complete school structures in Detroit.
1t was named for Hon. John Greusel,
who worked for the cause of educa-
ton during his residence in Detrdtts
Fhe Greusel has both day and night
sessions, with about LOO pupils en-
rolled in the day school, while the
average attendance at night is 49,
In addition to its 20 light and we'll
veatilated class rooms, the, Greusel
has domestic science department, in
which sewing and cooking are taught.
In the manual training department
the boys are instructed in sloyed
work.
Shower baths are provided in the
basement for the pupils during the
school day and for adults after school
hours.
At the Greusel not only are the
minds of the children looked after,
but the health as well. The vacuum
practically dustless. A doctor and
nurse visit the school each morning
TO examine pupils who have been alb
sent because of sickness, or who wish
medical attention.
There is a dental clinic in the base
ment OF the school The dentist and
his attendant are kept busy daily get
ting the teeth OF the Greusel pupils
in perfect condition. Neither is the
play of the pupils forgotten, for this
building has about the largest play
ground in Detroit, and II is well
equipped with all sorts OF playground
apparatus. While the boys play such
games as soccer football and new.
comb, the girls are instructed in folk
dancing. The boys on the Greusel
newcomb and soccer football teams
are proud to say that they have not
lost game this season.
