He said that up to the present no
effective protest had been made by any
neutral country.
What will happen now? The great
proud nationa-the United States-is
the neutral country most affected. The
fact is the citizens of that country have
been barbarously murdered. 1t is not
be-, but the United States will be
guided by the feelings of her people.
He said that II the disaster had the
effect he believed it would. not only
on the British soldiers but upon the
whole nation, then we can thank the
Germans for this last instance OF their

Three Torpsdoss Fired. Z.
The statement that three torpedoes
were fired at the Lusitania was made
by the Fishguard correspondent Of the
Daily News on the authority of the
Rev. Mr.. Guvier, of the Church Of Eng
lands Canadian railway mission, who
said the third found its mark as the
last boat was being lowered.
AS the Lusitania sank, he said, the
submarine rose and came within 800
yards Of the scene.
"The crew stood stolidly on the
deck" he said, "and surveying, their
handiwork. I could distinguish the
German flag but 1t was impossible to
discern its number"

The News has a dispatch from
Genoa which says telegram from

many's Reply. Il.

Washington, May 10. - Count
Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor, today expressed to Secretary
Bryan 'his deep regret that the
events Of the war mad led to the
loss of so many American lives"
The phrase used was that of the
lmbabssador after the conference.
whether his statement was on
It's own Initiative or on instruction
of his government, was not made
clear. Inasmuch as 1t was the first
statement of the kind since Ameri-
can lives were lost on tho British
steamer Falaba and the American
steamer Gulflight and no specific
mention was made of the Lusitania
incident, It was taken that the am
bassador's statement WAS the usual
broad expression which diplomatic
representative are permitted to
make when Q disaster occurs.
The action Of the German am
bassador, however, will have little
effect on the policy to be pursued.

washington. May 1o.-speculation as
10 what the United States would do as
a protest against the torpedoing Of the
Lusitania, with the loss Of more than
100 American lives, developed today
the opinion that President Wilson will
express in the policy he pursues q de-
nunciation Of the act as tnexcusable
under the Laws Of nations and human
ity.
The extent Of this action-whether it
would go beyond an emphatically
phrased note to an actual severance Of
diplomatic relations with German
still was undetermined.
Late today the president will go to
Philadelphia to address gathering Of
1000 naturalized Americans, arranged
by its bureau Of naturalization sew
eral weeks ago, to launch systematic
course in the instruction of alien citi-
zens as to theif duties as citizens. It
is expected he Will refer to the Lusi-
tania.
When the cabinet meets tomorrow
the president probably will present his
ideas as to what the governments
policy should be.
No Extra Session.
It IL now certain that the president
does not intend to call congress in ex-
ira session. This disposed for the
present at least Of tho danger that Ger
many's action will cause the United
states to be drawn into the European
conflict.
The military impotence Of the United
States to affect the course Of the
struggle abroad and the possibility Of
the entry of this country into the war
would automatically cause q reduction
OF supplies Of ammunitions to the al
lies have Influenced many officials to
believe that the disapproval Of the
United states can be voiced more ef-
fectively without declaring war.
The withdrawal Of Ambassador
Gerard without severing relations has
been suggested as q means Of express
ing the attitude Of the United States.
-sOthers have suggested q complete
withdrawal Of relations. Before any
such step IL reached, however, certain
preliminary steps most likely will bo
followed.

ened: nothing will happen to you! Do
hurry. 1t will be all right, tell you"
Through the silent halls Jeanette went,
shivering, and her teeth chartered as she
spoke to the waiting chauffeur. The streets
seemed very dark and empty and still.
The cab stopped. She stumbled out,
and as she stood, feeling in her purse with
|
along the dark line of waiting vehicles.
From the window of one of them an I'M
gloved hand shot out.
A moment she fingered, her knees shak-
ing violently; then, forcing her limbs to
action, she advanced toward the beacon of
a cigars red glow. AS she approached it
the cigar was dropped into the gutter be-
low the door of the cab was thrown open,
and hand drew her in. The next instant
the door slammed and the cab started.
BEFORE she had time to speak an arm
~ was clasped about her, and deep
cultural voice close to her face said in
French, AT last!" Then she felt the
fierce pressure of lips on her mouth.
With the strength of terror and abhor-

mistake!"
"What?"
"Stop the cab! I'll explain. I'm not

A light was flashed in her face, and she
recoled from it blindly.
Her companion laughed and dropped
his electric flasher into his pocket. "You

his arms

opening her eyes she was again blinded by
the strong light from the fash-light.
"NIademoiselle who are you?" asked
her companion abruptly, and at the ques-
ton she gave gasp of relief. He knew

She sat up. "Monseur, am the sister
of Mademoiselle Floria-her twin sister.

humor him did it. Then he took it from
me and wrenched it from the necklace and
kissed it and held it up and looked at me-
Now you are mine forever!' he said For
ever your fate is linked with mine!"
"What did he mean?'
Alix shrugged her shoulders contempt-
uously. "He is ignorant and superstitous.
1t is legend in his family that the cross
has some sort of magic power. Centuries
ago some old witch predicted that it

that if hated him l would soon love

was in shadow, and she could make out no
feature of it; but her companion, who was
nearer, seemed to distinguish enough to
startle him; for, demanding gruffiy:
"Who are you?" he flashed light.
There was an instant's illumination,
time enough for Jeanette to take in only
the full beard that concealed the lower
part of the chauffeur's face and the visor
of the cap that hid his eyes. The next
moment he had seized the flasher.
dts |, Alix! On guard!" he cried, and
at that sprang at her companion.
At the impact the latter was thrown,
and reaching for support he clutched the
collar of her coat. She felt the drag at
her neck, heard the sound of breaking
threads, then saw the two men locked in
each others arms in the road.
ADVERTISEMENT and fright rendered
her incapable of thought; but instinct
moved her to action, to fight anywhere
away from those mad, struggling beasts.
She opened the door at her side and slipped
noiselessly to the ground and across to the
border of grass that stretched along the
stone wall at the roadside Then, with
out thought of caution, as heedlessly as
frightened hare, she began to run. Be-
hind her she could hear the scuf1ling of
feet and painting, gasping breaths.
Suddenly she reached turning in the
road and paused a moment. To her right
she saw squatting village houses.
Keeping close to the shrubbery, she
dashed on through the dark. Suddenly
she came to sharp halt. She had heard
something, and at the sound she dropped
to the ground, her heart humping wildly.
The car was coming down the road.
1t stopped almost opposite her. There
was moment of silence. Then voice
called out, "Alix, Alix! Where are you?"
Again pause. "Come here, you fool"
Then snarl of rage and an oath.
Jeanette hardly breathed. Fac mo-
ment she counted as the last befole dis
covery. 1t was the chauffeur's voice that
called. This man with the beard and the
cap over his eyes, who was he? And
where now was the other man? What had
happened? What would happen when he
found her?
She lay without stirring until the whr
of the car had receded, then raised her
head. The car was gone.
She sprang to her feet and ran on again.
Family from the distance came the sound
of Il train whistle. Just ahead was rail-
way station. Perhaps the train would
stop there, perhaps it was bound for
Paris.
HALF an hour later she was mounting
the stairs to her sisters apartment.
AliX was waiting, wld-eyed and pale.
"My Cod" she cried, wringing her
hands when she had heard Jeannette's
story. "And you don't know how it
ended, this fight"
81 know that it was the chauffeur who
tried to find me"
"The chauffeur was Felix Renoir," Alix
interrupted. Listen! | must tell YOU
everything; for you must help me. He
will come here, am sure of it--any mo-
ment! He must not know that it was not

Grow Corns
If You Will
But don't keep them

One can't we'll avoid corns in
these days of dainty shoes. But
it's folly to keep them, pare them
and doctor them.
A chemist has invented way
to end corns quickly. Iii is known
as Blue-jay. Attach it and the
corn pain stops at once. Then
bit Of wax-called B & B wax
loosens the corn very gently. In
two days the whole corn disap-
pears without any pain or soreness.
1t seems magical. After a
Blue-jay plaster is applied. the
shoe cant hurt the corn. After 48
hours there is no corn to hurt.
Folks have proved this on some
20 million corns. They are re.
moving in this way a million
corns a month.
That's why corns are not so
common as they used to be.
Blue-jay plasters came-folks
found them out-and half the
corns that grow today are quickly
ended by them.
