a Mule amer wnen they drove INTO
the ill kept yard.
There We're no signs Of wedding fes-
tivities about the Baker place. Indeed.
it appeared to be more the abode of
mourning t8ah Joy.
The people from the Lone Bull were
the only guests to arrive, and when
they glimpsed the deserted appearance
of the house and the grim looking men
that formed semicircle about the
front porch they made no move to
alight from the carriage. They sat in
stunned silence as they realized the
awfulness of the thing that Desdemona
Baker had brought to pass.
Before that closed door sat semi
circle of grim horsemen.
Each one sat with hand at hip and
narrowed eyes watching the door
through which Desdemona, their bride,
should appear.
There were five of them-Simeon
Carter in his best dark blue suit, Percy
Hackett in black. Joey Burton in a
gray suit and red tie, Ben Peters with
the added glory of white silk skirt
and Reddy Blake looking like an I'M
dertaker in black.
"Goshr whispered Harry Barry.
Somebody ought to do something"
murmured Mrs. Clintock uneasily.

"The girls got scared and rustled

Clintock, who was watching the mess

head around the corner it was to emit

hand gripped his bony shoulder and
brought the Chinaman around into
the presence of that grim semicircle-
Boss Chntock nodded CURLY to the
waiting bridegrooms and hustled the
Chinaman on to the front porch. Then
he roared questions at him while the
cook bleated forth replies.

had scurried across the yard again

sympathy in his eyes struggled with

Ben Peters grimly as he turned his
horse out of the semicircle and gal
loped toward the Lone Bull ranch.

Leone Barry with tear filled eyes, as
the last of the disappointed bride

said the boss soberly as they drove
homeward If any one OF those five
had tried to marry Desdemona today

London, Sept. Equipped with ra.

1t is believed that the Germans have
pushed back the Russian forces that

region of Thorn, Prussia.
That Austria feels that she is I'M

sion is shown by captured documents
in which the dual monarch has repeat

against Germany. Russia will have

Another dispatch says that a Ger

fired upon and brought TO earth.
The Russians are reoprted to have
captured 5000 Austrian prisoners near
Lubin (probably Lublin), where the
Tenth corps tried to break the Russian
lines.
1t is reported from Rome that the
Russians are advancing southwark, al
ter having occupied Czeinowitz with

habitants of Bukowina, in which dis

the first sign of dissolution Of the
Austro-Hungarian empire.
Official reports from Petrograd an

there was no fighting to the south OF
Lublin and Kholm. That the Austrian
