 of Stennstrate which lies west of the Yser, and took possession of the bridge across the canal at this point was reported last night by the Frencn war office.
 { As an offset, the Austrian reports state that in both Poland and Galacia the Russians continue to retreat.
 while in the Pruthe region all the Russian attacks have been repulsed. With the Teutonic forces standing before the gates of Przemysl," an- nouncement was also made of the oc- cupation of Jaroslau, directly north of Przemysl, by the Germans, and the capture of Dobridle, stary Sam bor and Boryslau, to the south and east of the great Austrian fortress by the Austrians.

''TP aris asserts further progress has been made southeast Of Notre Dame de Loretta. Berlin is quiet on activi- ties in this section, but asserts the French attacks on the heights to the north have been beaten off for the most part. Berlin Admits Loss of Guns. Important admissions of loss of guns are. made in the German report
 of the evacuation by the kaiser's
 forces of Carney and Ablain St. Nazaire. They were forced to aban-

 Severe fighting has been resumed

CHAPTER v.
The Golden Autumn.

Sabron longed for a change with au-
tumn, when the falling leaves made
the roads golden roundabout the Cha
teau d'Esclignac. He thought he
would like to go away. He rode his
horse one day up to the property of
the hard-hearted unforgiving lady and
finding the gate open, rode through
the grounds up to the terrace Seeing
no one, he sat in his saddle looking
over the golden country to the Rhone
and the castle of the good King Rene
where the autumn mists were like ban
ners floating from towers.
There was a solitary beauty around
the lovely place that spoke to the
young officer with sweet melancholy
He fancied that Miss Redmond must
often have looked out from one of the
windows, and he wondered which one.
The terrace was deserted and leaves
from the vines strewed it with red and
golden specters. Pitchoune raced after
them, for the wind started them flying,
and he rolled his tawny little body
over and over in the rustling leaves
Then a rabbit, which before the ar
rival of Sabron had been sitting COM
fortably on the terrace stones, scut-
tied away like mad, and Pitchoune,
somewhat hindered by his limp, tore
after it,
The deserted chateau, the fact that
there was nothing in his military life
beyond the routine to interest him
now in Tarascon, made Sabron eagerly
look forward to change, and he
waited for letters from the minister of
war which would send him to a new
post.
The following day after his visit to
the chateau he took a walk, Pitchoune
at his heels, and stood aside in the
highroad to let a yellow motor pass
him, but the yellow motor at that mo-

A White Mans Country.
The experiment is being made by
white men. Australia is deliberately
a white mans country. A few abo-
riginal blacks survive, in color black

ways, but this immigration must be
desirable and white. No black, yell
low or brown man need apply. He is
not rejected on account of his color.
That might lead to international COM
plications. He is rejected on other
grounds, illiteracy, knowledge of some
language, or for other reason. The
law is administered so that no col

captain, on whose steamer five China
men came as stowaways, was fined

1t would have been simple to have
explained to the colonel, but Sabron,
reticent and reserved, did not choose
to do so. He made very insufficient
excuse, and the colonel, as well as the
marquise, thought i'll of him. He
learned later, with chagrin, that his
friends were gone from the Midi.
Rooted to the spot himself by his du-
ties, he could not follow them. Mean
while Pitchoune thrived, grew, cheered
his loneliness, jumped over a stick,
learned trick or two from Brunei and
great many fascinating wiles and
ways, no doubt inherited from his
mother. He had a sense of humor
truly Irish, a power of devotion that
we designate as canine no doubt be-
cause no member of the human race
has ever deserved it.

very special care"
Miss Redmond's hand was on Pit
,hounes head between his pointed
ears. She looked sympathetic. She
looked amused. She smiled.
1t was a question of life and death,
wasn't it," she said eagerly to Sabron.
Really. it was just that answered
the young officer, not knowing how
significant the words were to the two
ladies'.
Then Madame Esclignac knew that
she was beaten and that she owed
something and was ready to pay The
chauffeur got upon his seat and she
asked suavely:
Wont you let us take you home.
Monsieur Sabron?"
He thanked them. He was walking
and had not finished his exercise.
"At all events" she pursued, now
that your excuse is no longer a good
one, you will come this week to din
ner, will you not?"
He would, of course, and watched
the yellow motor drive away in the
autumn sunlight, wishing rather less
for the order from the minister of war
to change his quarters than he had
before.

Pitchoune repaid what was given
him.
He did not think that by getting
well, reserving the right for the rest
OF his life to distinguished limp in
his right leg, that he had done all that
was expected of him. He developed
an ecstatic devotion to the captain,
impossible for any human heart ade-
quately to return. He followed Sab
ron like a shadow and when he could
not follow him, took his place on
chair in the window, there to sit, his
sharp profile against the light, his
pointed ears forward, watching for the
uniform he knew and admired extrav-
agantly.
Pitchoune was a thoroughbred, and
every muscle and fiber showed il,
every hair and point asserted it, and
he loved as only thoroughbreds can.
You may say what you like about mon
grel attachments, the thoroughbred in
all cases reserves his brilliancy for
crises.
Sabron, who had only seen Miss

his friend for the illness that kept him
from the chateau. There was in Sab

CHAPTER IlI-Continued.

That evening the Marquise d'Escli-
gnac read aloud to her niece the news
that the Count de Sabron was not com
Ing to dinner He was absolutely des-
plated" and had no words to express
his regret and disappointment. The
pleasure of dining with them both, a
pleasure to which he had looked for
ward for a fortnight, must be re-
nounced because he was obliged to
sit up with a very sick friend, as there
was no one else to take his place. In
expressing his undying devotion and
his renewed excuses he put his homage
at their feet and kissed their hands.
The Marquise dEsclignac, wearing
another very beautiful dress, looked up
at her niece, who was playing at the
piano.
"A very poor excuse, my dear Julia.
and very late one"
1T sounds true, however. believe
him, don't you, ma tante?"
Il do not said the marquise en-
phatically. "A Frenchman of good
education is not supposed to refuse a
dinner invitation an hour before he is
expected Nothing but case of life
and death would excuse it,"
He says a very sick friend"
Nonsense" exclaimed the marquise.
Miss Redmond played few bars of
the tune Sabron had hummed and
which more than once had soothed
Pitchoune, and which, did she know,
Sabron was actually humming at that
moment.
Il am rather disappointed, said the
young girl, but if we find it is a mat
ter of life and death. ma tante, we
will forgive him."
The Marquise d'Esclignac had in
vited the Count de Sabron because she
had been asked to do so by his colo
mel. who was an old and valued friend.
She had other plans for her niece.
Il feel my dear" she answered her
now, quite safe in promising that If 1t
Is q question of life and death we shall
forgive him. ! shall see his colonel
tomorrow and ask him pointblank."
Miss Redmond rose from the piano
and came over to her aunt, for dinner
had been announced.

slipped her hand in her aunts arm,

Sheep had been, and are, the chief
source of Australians wealth. II is a
land, however, for which Nature has
done much, and in the use of which
men can afford, for a time at least, to
take long chances. Many and rich
minerals are found. The mines are
important and valuable. The main ex-
port, however, is wool. and 1t is as a
producer of food supply and material
for raiment that this immense land
has its most prosperous future. Hid
den away until other lands we're full
to overlooking, Australia has been the
reserve continent from which a large
share of the worlds food and clothing
is to come It's possibilities in this
direction have hardly begun to be
realized.
The four and half millions of in
nabitants, fringing the shores of the
continent or scattered on solitary
sheep stations and cattle runs miles
apart in the back blocks" have
scarcely commenced to possess the
land, certainly not to subdue it. The
handful of political and minor offend
ers who, with their guards and over
seers. came first from England, have
been succeeded by generations of pi'
cneers of much the same type as peo-
pied the western plains of the United
States so years ago. The Great
American Desert" as it appeared in
