was matchmaker. What'll do?"
This was as to the letter. Danny
decided he would think things over be-
fore he said anything about it. Then
came the crisis of Danny's life, and
the "Blunderhead" of the Office situa-
ton became a star character and
hero
Danny earned only four dollars a
week and had to pay some board at
home at that. This did not admit of
any banquets. The week before he
had bought small bunch OF violets
to place on the desk of Miss Deane.
She had scolded him severely, but
Danny was proud to think he could
spend so cents to show his devotion
to the kindest friend he had ever
known.
For the present week, therefore,
Danny was wont to take his meals at
a cheap beanery. There were items
on the bill Of fare that ran from four
to seven cents. One evening he had
to remain at the office overtime to
stamp some mail Six o'clock found
him hungry with one-half an hours
work still undone. Danny went out
for a bite. AS he passed down
court running along the side of the
building where the office was located,
he noticed that the light il the room
of the boss had been extinguished and
the boss himself was just approach
ing his automobile, the only one in
the solitary court.
Then there occurred something that
made Danny think of a rapid moving
picture show, it was all done so quick
ly. Three men had suddenly leaped
from dusk doorway. One sprang to
the chauffeur's seat Two others ad-
vanced upon Mr.. Ransom They threw
a long coat over his head, lifted him
into the machine, stifled his cries and
away dashed the auto

In flash he was after the speeding
machine. AS he ran an inspiration
came to him. He drew out his big
jackknife that was his constant COM
panion, caught at the knob Of the bag
gage box and chung there
The automobile followed the court
then an alley and then curved into a
public street. 1t was here that Danny
got ready for business.
He made a desperate lunge at the
nearest rear wheel. Blade-deep
through outer and inner sheathings of
rubber went the knife. There was a
Hiss, then a frightful report. The
chauffeur caught the warning sound.

Both Germany and France
Succeed in Hiding Their

Washington, Aug. 5.-Military ex-
perts here agreed last night that if

paigns until the completion of mobil-
tization they a succeeded wonder

minds of. the great French and Ger
man strategists.
the contracts" reported yesterday
from various points on the French and
German border. like those which have
preceded them, are inconsequential.

into the German own of Luneville,
are regarded as nothing more than

for the great game which is to decide
the future of continental Europe.
The opinion here is that German
mobilization will be completed in
frabout ten days.
American officers are watching with

even without the redemption of the

Washington, Aug. 5.-The Europe
an war now just beginning, may delay
the opening of the Panama canal,
which had been set for Saturday, Aug.
10. The fact that the canal is not
yet opened is the cause of s~atisfac-
ton here SO long as the country Is
not at war and not going to war. IT
struggle there might be difficulties
arising in connection. with the pas
sage Of vessels through it which would
give this country much trouble, an
xiety, and possibly might lead us into
complications. 1t is therefore certain
the government will be in no hurry
to open it.
Warships of belligerent nations are
allowed to pass through the canal
neutrality during the passage. The
transit must be made as speedily as
possible and rules provide that no bat
tleship may embark or disembark
troops, munitions of war or warlike
materials In the canal, except in case
Of accidental hindrance Of the transit
and. in such. 8 the transit shall be
resumed with all possible dispatch"
The treaty. stipulations provide that
the canal, like the Suez canal, Shall
be free and open to the vessels of
commences and Of war, of all nations
and shall never be blockaded nor
shall any right of war be exercised,
nor any act of hostility be committed,
within It,"
The tolls for the Panama canal will
be $1.20 a ton for all merchant vessels
Carrying passengers or cargo. On
vessels in ballast without passengers
or cargo the rate is 40 per cent less.
Upon naval vessels other than trans
ports. GOLFERS, hospital ships and sup
ply ships, so cents per displacement
ton must. be paid. Army and navy
transports, golfers, hospital ships,
supply ships will pay $3.50 a ton.

a final effort to avoid war, and the
emperor's reply, have been made pub

that there had been some
standing to lead to the breaking off
of negotiations, said:
Il make a personal appeal to you
to remove the Misrepresentation and
leave open the ground for negotiations
for possible peace"
The Russian emperor replied that
he would have accepted the proposals
had not Germany declared war;.

Austria made it imperative that Rus

categorical assurances to the German
emperor that the Russian troops
would not move SO long as the nego-
