channel On Saturday the British
steamer Ping Suey, belonging 70 the
Holt line. was attacked twice by Ger

FIVE hours, but she succeeded in escap-

was the steamer Glenlee of 1000 tons,
which was sunk somewhere between
the British and French coasts recently.
In the North sea a German subma-
rine sunk the Russian ship Mars few
days ago, and the losses of the British
steamers Spennymoor and Cadeby
also have been reported. Thus within
three days six ships OF considerable
size have been sunk by German sub
marines and six lives have been lost.
Furthermore the transatlantic liner

attack by a German submersible. Lon

He left the city that day and went
into New England, choosing the most
secluded village there. He devoted
the small capital that remained to
him to starting. a small poultry farm
and garden. That was a yearSagO.
He had dropped out of the lives of
his associates. None was dependent
on him. Nobody would care what
happened to him. And he resolved
never to set pen to paper again for
literary use. He kept his vow, too,
though at times the old impulse was
strong upon him. His neighbors knew
him only as a shy, reserved man,
probably with a secret in his life. It
was no concern Of theirs, they &C
cepted him for what he was.
The words of his neighbor brought
back to Johns mind all the wretched-
ness of those years of struggle. Know
how to wait! And he had waited too
long.
The old man came toddling back to
him, waving a newspaper.
Say, Mr.. Rochester, there's some
thing about you in the paper, I reck-
on" he said, handing him the sheet.
''They got your photograph on the
front page. Hain't done nothing,
have ye?"
mo, I don't think so" answered
John, taking the newspaper. AS the
old man had said; his photograph
stared out from the front page, and
under it was his name.
There was a long article accom-
panying it. 1t said that John Roches-
ter, the famous author. had at last
been located in Massachusetts, after
the world had been honeycOmbed for
him. He learned that his book,
Hearts Desire" had been published
and was the hit of the season, both

John, emerging from his cottage
door, found himself face to face with
a charming young woman in a new
hat and fashionable dress. For a
moment his heart leaped; he hoped
1t was Lesbit. Then he recognized
her-one of Lesbia's friends, who
had been a good friend of his once,
