Paris. Aug. 223.-The ministry of

Sunday:
The Chaudfontaine fort at Liege
was that scene of an act OF heroism
which brilliantly affirms once more
the galor Of the Belgian army. Major
Nameche commanded a fort which
controls the railway from Aix-La-
Chappelle to Liege via Veiviers and
the Chaudfontaine tunnel. The fort
was bomharded continually and very
violently by the Germans When il
was only a heap of debris and when
the commander judged that resistance
was impossible, he blockaded the
tunnel by producing collisions between
several locomotives which had been
sent into it, Then he set fire to the
fuses of mines in the tunnel. His
task thus done. Major Nameche did
not see the German flag even from the
ruins Of his fort. He, therefore, ex-
ploded all the remaining powder and
blew up everything, including him-

CHAPTER XVIII.
Sundered Bonds.


Dinner, OF the rare occasions when
the FRUITS dined together and alone,
was marked by a careful formality
that was but a thin disguise for their
mutual dislike. At no other time,
save by hastily cured accident, were
they apt to confront each other. The
quarrel of the night Of their first In
vitation to Henley's house had v
been healed. Each had gone a sep
arate way, ignoring as far as possible
the others existence.
With Unity the dislike had been gen.
ufne. She believed that when her
easy hus! and had SO suddenly and
definitely put IN end to her suprem-
acy, she had been robbed of a right
that she, a woman and therefore a
superior finer being, should enjoy.
Fear, OF him and Of what the man she
o perceived him to be might do if
unduly provoked. kept dislike alive
and hot.
With him it had been rather con-
tempt for her airs and vanities, for
the uselessness to which, even in a
woman, he could not become recon-

Oil Ranges on naval Vessels.

In agreement with the navy depart

coal there have been installed on the
Pennsylvania and on Battleship 80 oil
ranges for cooking purposes. In the.

$500 for each ship and in operation
the economy is much more marked.

How Unreasonable!

Many business men actually believe
that spelling ought to be an C o
plishment Of the average college grad
uate. A young bachelor OF arts was
recently put to work running q small
printing press In the back roo Of q
bankers ONCE. He was to set up and
print q number Of circulars to be sent
out to customers OF the house.
When the work was finished. 1t was
found to differ decidedly from the
standards of spelling set by the late
Messrs. Webster and Worcester. The
young man was summoned to an au-
dience with his chief. The interview
was mot pleasant, and the young man
showed az much by his face when he
rejoined the rest OF the Office force.

/, After a while: "Ah!" she breathed.
She Is lovely"
That makes 1t unanimous" he said
shortly.
1t had ceased to be the ~pleasantest
time ne had had in years. A heavy
cold cloud had settled upon their inti-
macy. Why dream OF the possibility
Of a mighty primitive passion! 1t was
not possible. . . But It was q char
acteristic Of the man to want most
the things farthest away, the things
forbidden.
We've gone far enough" she said.
True words. however she meant them!
And 1t Is getting too cold for you.
Let us turn back"
He made no protest.
He swung the team around and
drove toward the hospital; at a reck-
less pace, that he might not have to
talk. He had no wish for common
speech the habit of self-repression
saved him.
But not wholly. For as they were
nearing the hospital, he drew the
horses down to a soberer gait.
When" he asked. will you drive
with me again?"
Not again"
He had known, even before she
spoke, what her answer would be.
And he knew-so had she given it
that it was irrevocable.

I'D been thinking Of you. And I
was-curious. To see what sort Of

They swung into he hospital
grounds and up to the entrance. Over
her protest he des tended to help her
to the ground. He tool a queer pleas
ure In the pain the needless little
service gave him.

Her answer was not in words.
Slowly she mounted the stairs to the
doorway, INT turning, looked steadily
down upon him. Her face was white,
but her eyes were lustrous-and I'M
spSakably sad.
"Kazia-"
"Good-by."
He had had the answer he wanted.
But he received 1t with a heart as
heavy as lead. He wanted her as he
had desired nothing since life began.
And he could only stand and. help
less, see her leave him.

out a friendly hand, with a genial
smile that vas part of his new resolve.
Baker took the hand, but released 1t
quickly. IA! How are you, Truitt!'
Bully. Just back from a long stay
IN the woods. Dine here with me to-
night, won't your"
Thanks, no. I'm probably not din
ing here. Excuse me. Some men I
must Sec"
Baker broke hastily away, passed q
few words with a nearby group and
went out. The ruse was obvious.
Mark, feeling as though he had re-
ceived a blow in the face. stared after
the retreat1ng figure. The genial smile
faded. Then he went to the room
he had engaged. Passing the group
that had helped out Bakers ruse, he
was conscious OF their furtive curious
glances.
Arrived in his rooms, his first act
was to have back newspaper files sent
up to him. For two hours he read
how, while he was winning back health
in the wilderness and planning a life
of amity with his fellows, his name
had been banded about on the tongues
Of SANDER and gossip. AS he read In
the light of what had just happened
the amazing accumulation of suggested
filth, only here and there brushing the
outer edges OF fact, utter bewilder-
ment filed him. Shirley's brief COM
munication, making mention of some
talk received at the edge OF the will
derness, had not prepared him for
this.
Its all a pack OF dirty les" he
cried. How could these men, who've
seer me go in and out every day, be-
lieve it? What rotters they must be
themselves to be able to believe it!
By God! I'll" He stopped. with a
sudden feeling Of dismay. why

He was helpless.
Then l am not free! She has put

mistakes? . :"
One evening, when his residence at
the club had continued about three
weeks, the affair came to a climax.
At the sound Of his name from a
nearby group of diners, he halted in
voluntarily.
That's all we'll enough" one of the
diners was saying. "A clubs a club
and, of course, we have to allow a
certain latitude. Still. when 1t be-
comes the refuge for a nan SO no
torious we couldn't have him in our
homes The speaker vas checked
by a warning kick.
Mark. sweeping the group with eyes
from which the mask had momentarily
fallen, met Bakers embarrassed gaze.
With a contemptuous smile. he passed
on to his own table and ordered a
dinner which he made such show OF
eating as inward rage and pain al
lowed.
His coffee and cigar had just beer
brought when Baker crossed the room
and stood by his table.
"Truitt-' he began uncertainty.
"Weil?" Marks upward glance was
not welcoming.
May l sit down for a minuter"
Aren't you afraid Of catching the
plague?"
I'm more afraid Of being kicked for
my impertinence."
II understand" said Mark grimly,
I'm a pretty tough customer, but I
don't commit assaults in public. Sit
down."
Baker sat down, looking earnestly
across the table at Mark. Look here,
Truitt. There are things on both sides
of your fence l don't approve. But

But this is a little more than duty.

One more consolidated school dis

such institutions in Beltrami county,
bringing the total up to ten. This
county largely because of the eff
forts of w. B. Stewart, superintend-
ent Of schools, who is one of the
foremost workers of the state in be-
half of the consolidated schools, now
has ten districts, the largest mum
Der of any county in the state.

at Spur los, and covers the entire
territory between Turtle River and
Tenstrike, making series OF four
like institutions Of the consolidated
type in that vicinity OF the county,
Tenstrike, Hines and Blackjack.
Superintendent Stewart is much
pleased over the Farley-Spur vote in
that it was unanimous in favor of
consolidation. -
