probably come after me-"
Never mind IL he never comes
back" shouted Bill Tennsy, who
grabbed me and waltzed me over
to Donna.
II am so glad to see you, Mar
gie,' she said, and she kissed me.
Il believe of all my friends
missed you most. You must come
over soon for a long talk"
smiled to myself, for I
thought of what Bill had said to
me over the wire.
Donna looks tired, but she
really was stunning with her
crown of prematurely white hair.
1t has grown much whittier since
she has been away. and I really
think she Is better looking for it.
Don't you think that the SEQ
ond Mrs. Tenney is better looking
than the first?" asked Bill.
1t was funny question, even
If a little vulgar, and I laughed
and said: II certainly do think

fore, you dreadful man. Perhaps
it is because you are older this
time and do not worry her so
much"
81 don't think I'll ever worry
her again." said Bill solemnly.
No. answered Donna quickly,
you see the girls wont look at
him now he's getting bald"
Turn around, Bill,., added
Donna, land show your bald spot
to the lady,"
Bill did this obediently, and
saw on the crown of his head a
little spot about as big as a silver
dollar.
II had to grow this" he ex-
planned, ito keep up with Donna s
white hair"
But her head crowned with
Its moonbeam Wilderness is SUI
perb, and yours-"
Don't spare me, Margie, you
know you never do-just say
what you think"
Jim came up just then and took
Donna away for a dance. Bill
dropped into her seat beside me.
I'll come for you about 2
O'Clock tomorrow" he said. And
then in a rather aggrieved tone,
"Margie Waverly, l believe you
have grown prettier since l was
away"
Now, Bill, don't try to flirt
with me, because l know your
tricks and your manners" l said
banteringly.
"But | am not trying to flirt

Old Friends

Chicago, Dec. 2.-The parting of the
ways came today to Isaac Brownstein
and Aaron Sherman, friends of long
standing and both jewelers., when
Brownstein with tears in his eyes COM
planned to the police that his friend
Sherman had aided in persuading him
to buy a gold brick.

three hundred and sixty dollars is
much money" said Brownstein at the
police station after making the charge,
but that this friend would use me so. ="
According to Brownstein, test of
the supposed bar of gold was made
with alcohol instead of acid before he
bought the brick. After ! got it l
put acid on it and it was only brass
he said.

charge against Sherman. was willing
to accept his friends offer to pay half
the cost of the gold brick but the po-
lice refused to permit the compromise.

clare Serbian forces are still in
the city. The Bulgarians. accord

EXPECT ATTACK
FROM VILLA men
Aqua Prieta is Further Menaeed BIZ
Prospect Of Raid Fear Felt for
Americans.

Douglas, Ariz., Dec. Prospect Of
another attack on Aqua Prieta, with
consequent menace 10 this city just
across the border; concern over the
safety Of Americans in territory
where Villas scattered forces are
roaming, and possibility Of a reor-
ganization Of the Villa government
and the election Of a new president
by the Sovereign convention to be
held soon at Juarez, were the chief
points of interst today in the Mexi-
can situation. General Alvoro Obre-
gon, the CarranZa chieftain, was at
Aqua Prieta today TO assist Colonel
Dato Campbell in arrangements for
defense againsta threatened attack
by Villa forces under General Rodri-
guez said to number 1000 infantry and
cavalry.
Throughout the night the small
garrison remained under arms and
small outposts patrolled the country
to the south. There were indications
that General Rodriguez troops were
massing between Fronteras, % miles
south, and Aqua Prieta. The belief
generally was expressed that the at
tack of the Villa forces on the town
would not be long delayed.
Reinforcements for the small gar
rison were expected today. The first
detachment of the Carranza forces
coming from Nogales, Arizona,
through the United States was sched
uled TO arrive early today.
Major General Frederick Funston
was her with his staff preparing for
ing the situation and preparing for

Berlin, Dec. 9. Cvia London 3:13
p. m.)-German forces, pressing their
campaign against Montenegro, have
occupied the towns of Plevje and ia
huka in northeastern Montenegro,
near the Serbian border, German army
headquarters announced today.
London. Dec 2, (12:27 p. mL)-Milt-
tary events In the Balkans are appar-
emily in transitory stage which may
preface another German offensive, but
whether this will be made against
the Franco-British troops which hold
all that remains OF Serbia or against
the Russians should they launch an
attack against Bulgaria from the east,
the present situation gives no atten-
ton. A Saloniki dispatch, reporting
withdrawal of Field Marshal won
Maokensen's forces from the Serbian
front to Bulgaria is interpreted in
some quarters as confirmation OF the
second alternative.
With prisrend in Bulgarian hands,
both Austro-G Germans and the Bulgar-
ians have formally announced the
completion of their Serbian campaign.
Serb Prisoners Total $4,000.
Vienna officially estimates the cap
ture of more than $4,000 Serbians by
General Won Koevess' army during the
month of November alone. Moreover
it seems certain that the Serbians In
their retreat over Albanian mountain
passes, encountered by civilian refu-
gees and made more difficult by wintry
weather, were forced to leave behind
them a large part of their equipment.
including more Of their heavy artil-
iery, motor cars and other transports.
The Germans are now engaging the
Montenegrins on the Montenegrin
frontier and at heavy cost have pene-
trated some distance beyond the bor-
der. Yet this struggle is not compar-
| fighting which marked the Serbian
campaign last month and which has
now almost ceased.
Notwithstanding all the entente me-
gotiations at Athens, the Greek sit
nation today remains much as 1t was
a month ago. II is now clear that
Greece has determined not to demob-
ilize or withdraw her army from Sa-
loniki. Though deadlock seems to
have been reached, negotiations are
still under way.
No change Of significance was re-
ported on either the western or the
eastern front during the last "a hours.
