Petrograd. Russia, Oct 1.-THE Of

I in two ways. First. it indicates that
the Germans have been thwarted in
their attempts to straighten their front
along a north and south line so that
it would extend from Ostrollenka. 60
moles northwest Of Warsaw. through
Sandomir into Galicia, and second, the
Germans have been INSTRUCTED in their

As he looked at Miss Marjory Brown
Abner suddenly became aware that
for the first time in months he was
able to do so without Daniel coming
in TO call him. Daniel had always
hated to have him talk TO the book
keeper And. now he came to think
to her. too. The chance might never
occur again. Miss Browns hair had
auburn tints among its shadowy
tresses. Miss Browns figure was di.
vine. Miss Brown reminded him OF
somebody he had once known when
he really was the reckless member
of the family. And suddenly Abner
was swept away into doing the most
reckless thing that he had ever done.

fact, If either Abner or Daniel had
known just how attractive Miss Brown
was, II is probable that they would
timorously have decided to seek else
where for bookkeeper. When Miss
Brown answered their advertisement

on the top of her head. and she wore

of lingering a little too long over his
lunch, would slink into the Office on
his return in order to avoid Miss
Browns reproachful eyes AS for Dan

The ending OF Daniel Patterson's
story fell with dismal effectiveness up
on the ears OF Abner. his brother Old
Eph Jones. who had kept the books
for the importing firm ever since its
inception by Hiram Patterson. the IA
ther OF the two brothers, had been dis
abled by old age.
OF course. he would be pensioned.
but the question was, who would take
his place? The Patterson business
was an oldfashioned one. trading with
few wealthy. old-fashioned families.
There was nothing modern about the
little warehouse, tucked away in an
obscure corner OF the downtown sec
tion of the metropolis. A hustling
young American would have been like
a bull in a china shop.
As matter OF fact, the Patterson
business barely paid its way. But
the brothers had amassed a comfor-
table fortune. Daniel. the elder, was
little over fifty: Abner. his brother.

end, the experiment of a woman book

Marjory Brown took her seat at the
