London, Oct. IA German torpe-
do cost England her seventh cruiser
and $50 men, the British admiralty
officially announced. The cruiser
Hawke was struck by torpedo from
a German submarine and sunk in the
northern waters os the North sea
The cruiser Theseus was attacked, but
the torpedo missed its mark.
The press h-Eeau issued a list of II
survivors of the 400 officers and men
on the Hawke, and it is hoped that
the loss of life may prove lighter.
Lieutenant Commander Rosaman and
20 men were picked up from a raft
and so of her crew we're landed at
Aberdeen.
II is believed the disaster occurred
not far from that part Of the Scot
fish coast, although the admiralty re-
port gives no time or definite location
of the catastrophe.
British patrol ships located a Ger.
man submarine of the east coast OF
Holland and sunk her.
The Hawke was commanded by
Capt. p. e. T. Williams, and he and
the chief officers OF the cruiser are
believed to be lost. :.

Dunkirk, Oct. 20.-The report is
current in northwestern France that
the Germans are retiring from Ostend
and it's neighborhood. 1t is added that
the town was not occupied In great
force. 1t is impossible to obtain veri-
fication of this report, which, how
ever, was from a reliable source.
From Dunkirk to Belfort the great
battle upon which hangs the fate OF
the Germans second drive on Paris
ragged during the day with undimin-
ished fury.
On the French left the allies are
said to have driven back the invaders
a distance of ten miles, and have as
sumed new positions in front OF
Givenchy and Fromelles. Also they
have retaken Armentieres, one of the
most important cities near the Bel
gian border. and railroad center of
great stategic value.
To the north of Arras the French
and British troops succeeded in break
ing through the German Gordon estab-
lished there for the purpose of control
ling the lines OF railway stretching to
the east, and so far have been able
to hold the ground thus gained. Also
between Arras and the River Disc the
allied lines have been advanced per-
ceptibly.
Belgians RepuIse Germans.
Recognition of the active co-opera-
ton OF the Belgians in the fighting
on the border was contained for the
first time in official dispatches when
their success in repulsing repeated
attacks directed by the Germans
against the crossings of the River
User was recorded.
Fighting has been renewed at Bel
fort, and two violent night attacks by
the Germans to the north and again
to the east of Saint Die were repulsed
by the French with severe losses to
the enemy.
The Germans are reported to have
suffered new reverses in the fighting
in Lorraine and to the east, where
the army of the crown prince is in in
extremely difficult position.
Saint Die, on the Meurthe. thirty
two miles northeast of Epinal, was
the center of today's attacks. which
resulted in a repulse for the Germans
with heavy casualties. The borders
of both Alsace and Lorraine also felt
the shock of battle. and in the Vosges
the famous French Alpine regiments
were in contact with German columns.
Cut OF German Supplies.
The Alpines' greatest achievement
in the recent operations was the cut
ting of railroad communication be-
tween Colmar. capital Of Upper Al
SAGE, and Muelhausen, thereby In
Creasing the 1:fficulties of the Ger
mans in sending their wounded to the

The Germans have brought up ten
inch mortars in this district. sup

the French have renewed their at.

Of course, and as soon as be obtain

feur was waiting outside.
The chauffeur was John Haynes.
For, with $500 in his pocket, Pooles
real chauffeur was waitingAat the rail-
road station to take the night train
to New York city
But how was Poole to know that in
the dark? Poole, drunk and flushed
and triumphant, bearing Haynes
daughter on his arm and leering and
chuckling.
"Home, George" he said thickly, and
settled back in the automobile. His
eyes blinked heavily, he muttered
something, then his head fell on FL
eanor's shoulder and he began to
snore. The want of sleep had told
on him during those days of fear;
he had shrunken into a haggard old
man, horrible to look upon
This simplified John Haynes plans,
for, with his crippled leg, he had
doubted his ability to cope with the
man, should his suspicious become
aroused. Now, slowing the machine,
he leaned backward, and abandoning
it for a moment, whispered:
Have you found what 1 spoke

'Yes, my DEAR he heard her whis-
per, and through the darkness she
stretched out one arm. In it was the
pistol which Poole had carried since
he had put his terrors behind him and
resolved to face his fate manfully.

into the middle of the road and drew
his automatic Leuger from his pock-
ct. He placed it in Eleanor's hands.

sentenced to the penitentiary for IA
years; lastly, how he had escaped and
come to search for her But he did
not tell her about the "devil-chair."
He had detached the gyroscope and
brought it with him into Grand valley
but he saw now that he would be un-
likely to need it. For, when she un-
folded her story, new plan had
taken possession of him. This ven
geance upon Poole must now be
doubly sacred. And because he had
struck at the daughter as we'll as at
the father, he would use Eleanor as
the instrument of his revenge.
If the man had been wholly sane he
would have spared her that; perhaps,
too, if she had refused, his senses
would have come back to him. But
when he told her all he was amazed
at the revelation of her nature. The
timid girl became a daughter possess
ed with the resolution of vengeance
for her fathers sufferings The fan
tasy Of universal revenge on all
who had been privy to the plot com
municated itself to her with double
intensity.
She did not know he meant to kill
each of his enemies; her confidence
in him was so profound that she ac-
cepted blindly the task which he i'm
posed upon her. Yet Haynes knew
well that Poole must die, and that he
would be the first of his victims. He
would not use the law; personal ven
geance, nurtured in his prison cell,
had become a madness in his brain.

taurant," he told the girl. And after
dinner you will accompany him wher-
ever he shall decide. Have no fear;

ing You have none, Eleanor"
NO" she said, smiling up at him.
That night, with the strength of the
mighty mucles of his right hand,
Haynes worked over his revolver-an

automatic Leuger. His plan was so
clear that he knew it could not fail.
If it should fail if Poole refused his
chance to renew his treachery, then
the man should go free. Haynes would,
in the end, leave the issue with
heaven.
That night Poole slept we'll for the
first time since he had received those
fateful kilograms. His terror of his
enemy had abated a week or so had
passed, and surely he had no further
cause for dread. If indeed Haynes
were pursuing his enemies, it was i'm
probable that he would seek him out;
perhaps he would be caught at his first
attempt, if such there should be, and
why should Haynes seek out the lesser
conspirators, when the leaders re-
mained unharmed? He could not
guess that the spy Ricardo, the
man who had shot Haynes, had
told, in terror of death, of Eleanor's
presence with Poole in that remote
town
He thought that he knew human ma
ture; he was assured of it beyond ca
vii when he met Eleanor outside the
restaurant at the appointed hour And,
seeing her, he chuckled and smiled,
for in place of the girl he knew was
woman flushed, bold even, nerved to
her part by that instinct which Haynes
had awakened in her-and Poole mis-
took all this for self-surrender
They entered the little dining place
behind the curtains which had been
reserved for them, and Eleanor laugh
ed even her repulsion for the man
driven down by her determination.
Poole, completely illusionized, patted
her arm.
You look fine, Puss, positively fine,"
he said ecstatically. why, 1 always
thought you were such a timid little
thing. And you were sly, devilishly
sly, to hide yourself from me like
that. So you always meant to come,
eh?"
Eleanor nodded briskly.
And you were holding out for some
thing big-a rope of pretty pearls,
now, OF diamond bracelet, eh?"
Eleanor nodded and laughed
He grew more familiar as the din
ner advanced and he became flushed
