turned around and started round the
grassy tussock just the opposite way from
which he had been going. and his heart
beat very fast with excitement. for now
surely he must catch little Miss Nanny.
But he didn't. No, sir, he didn't! He
went clear around that grassy tussock
without seeing sign Of the little Miss
Nanny. He was so disappointed and
vexed that he could have cried but for
the fact that he had outgrown his cry
baby ways. 1t was very plain to be seen
that little Miss Nanny was quite as
clever and smart as he, and the more he
realized this the more he knew that he
just must have her.
This time he walked around very slow
ly. shifting and shifting. Ha! There was
that faint scent and it led off down pri-
waite little path. Danny began to run
once more. This time 1t led to an old
brush pile and under this were little gal
leries in all directions. Danny heard a
faint rustic in one of them and off he
stasted in that direction. Then began
such game of hide-and- seek as he never
had played in all his life. Dozens Of
times he was sure that at last he had
caught up with little Miss Nanny, only
to be disappointed. He began to almost
hate that brush pile. And then, just when
he was quite tired out and almost dis
couraged. he saw little Miss Nanny sit
ting with her back to him and looking
out under the old brush pile quite as if
she didn't know that he was anywhere
about.

ONE MIDSHIPMAN
 ESCAPED THRICE

LONDON, Sept 24.-The cores. pondent of the London Telegraph at Rotterdam quotes Capt. Berkhout, of the steamer Titan, that rescued Ill men from the British cruisers Aboukir, Hougue and Greasy, which were de- stroyed in the North Sea, as follows;
 commander Sells, of one of the de- stroyed vessels, told me of the ex- perience of brave little midshipman, n fellow aboard the Aboukir, the first vessel which was struck. As the Ab' oukir was settling, he jumped over board and swan clear of the vortex. He was picked up by another cruiser, but she was also soon struck by tor pedo and began to settle. The mid shipman was again forced to jump into the water. Again he swan clear of the sinking craft, and was rescued by the third cruiser just before she' too. received her death wound. For the third time he jumped into the wa ter. and swan to piece of wreck age to which he was clinging when we rescued him.
 "The midshipman desired to return to England instead of coming here with us. and we took the trouble tc transfer him to a British destroyer We felt that he had earned the right to have his request granted"

RUSSIA COMPLETES
 FIRST PART

LONDON, Sept. 24. - That Russia has almost completed the first stage of what may we'll be considered the most col Ossal operation ever undertaken by a military power is clear be- yOnd successful dispute.
 The fall of the Austrian fort reSs of JarOslau completes the investment of Przemysl so far as lines of communication are concerned.
 Even the continued occupation of CracOw by the Austrian and German forces has not aided in that junction of the Austrian and German and Austrian arm ies which would be necessary to prevent Russia from Overrun- ming Galicia and pushing the armies of Austria back through the Carpathian mountains.
 By her conquest in Galicia, Russia now gains control of the greatest supply of gasoline in Europe. This product is an ab- solute necessity in modern war fare, and the result is as greatly advantageous to Russia as it is disaSterOus to her enemies. Rus sia is greatly in need of it in or der to supply her motor trans port service which has added so materially to the mobility of her army.
 The Russian movement is now described as a huge wedge, the right line of which extends, roughly speaking, from Libau, on the Baltic along the railroad line to Warsaw. The Russian Gen. Rennenkampff is guarding this line. It protects the Rus sian sources of supply and pre- vents any outflanking movement against the Russian army, which according to news in London, is beginning to operate in the di- rectiOn of POsen and Breslau in Germany, and which has been operating in. Galicia. These armies, extending south and east from Warsaw, are the left line of the great wedge which exceeds 500 miles in length and along which and in front of which are more than 5,O00,000 men under arms.
