was not surprised that Sutcliffe had not
recognized her, yet somehow Martha felt
hurt
She watched him during the evening
dance with every attractive girl In the
room and she, in turn, iirted outrageous
ly with each of her partners. II he OBJ
served her Martha was not aware Of the
fact. Sutcline to all appearances was OBJ
llvious Of her presence in the clubrooms
Toward the end OF the evening he made
his way homeward without having said
good night to her. The dancing, the men
and flirting lost all charm for Martha,
and she, too went home.
During the days following Martha
rode her motorcycle from morning
until twilight. Perhaps she was de-
sirous of fleeing from constant thought
OF Sutcliffe, or she may have hoped
to meet him in his big car.
The most courageous thing Martha
ever did in her life was to swerve
suddenly across the road precipItating
herself and her motorcycle into a
ditch. The idea had suggested itself
with desperate swiftness the moment
she had seen Sutcliffe whirling toward
her in his racing car on that same part
Of the road where the previous en-
counter had taken place. She had, felt
had appeared in the distance; then she
had taken her courage in both hands
fully determined to fiing herself across
his path.
sUtclifTe jerked his machine to .
stop and jumped quickly out and over
to the PROSTATE figure by the road
side. Picking her up and recognizing
her his face went white and Martha
opened wide her eyes. She was

saw the expression in Sutcliffe's eyes.
She smiled. and in the smile Calvin
read the story OF her guile.

risk her precious life. but he re-
Trained in view of the fact that she
would undoubtedly think him mad. He
contented himself with asking one

DO you still consider me a detest-

ing his hold of her and leading her
toward a soft knoll by the roadside.

SOPRIS MINER KILLED
BY FALL OF ROCK

Angelo Sabban, a miner employed
in the Sopris mine, was instantly
killed late Saturday afternoon by a
fall of rock while working in his
room in the mine.
In the process of digging Sabban
had undermined the coal and was
caught beneath the vein when his
death occurred. 1t appears that Sab
ban had failed to take proper pre-
measures In his digging
and had undermined the coal too far
when the weight of the coal above

AMERICANS STILL
HELD IN EUROPE,
SEVERAL ARRESTED

Washington, d. c., Aug. 10.-Scc-
rotary Bryan announced yesterday
that the American government now
was In communication with all its
European embassies and legations
and that every effort was being made
to care for Americans in oil parts of
the continent. For many days the
state department has been unable to
communicate with Ambassador Ger
ard at Berlin but communication has
been established through Copcnha-
gen. Mr.. Bryan at once telesraphed
inquiring about Archer NJ. Hunting
ton, president of the American Geo
gra ohical society, and other Ameri-
cans reported arrested as spies.
Official dispatches revealed that
many Americans had been arrested
or temporarily detained in Germany
merely on suspicion that at the first
outbreak of hostilities and during
the mobilization period. persons who
talked English were under espionage.
One dispatch said many Amcri-
cans were thought to be acting suspi-
ciously because they displayed cam
eras and were taking pictures Of the
troops or scenes incident to the out
break of war. Assurances that Amer
leans soong would be able to leave
Germany were given several days
ago. and the opening of communica-
tion with Ambassad orGerard was eX-
pected to clear up all doubts on the
subject soon. One of the first mes

Aug. lO.-An interesting
legal question has been raised in
connection with the now famous
Rosa LuXemburg case by prominent
jurists. II their construction of the
law of the case is correct, IL will be
impossible to bring the woman to
trial for the very sufficient reason
that judges competent to sit in the
case cannot be found. In Germany,
as In all other civilized countries, Il
judge is disqualified from taking
part in trial when he is related to
any OF the parties within a certain
degree. In Germany collateral rcla-

There are n great many people
