an accident up the Westchester road.
Now don't let the news upset you,
said Warren Immediately. There was
reason in plenty for what 1 did"
Reason-could there be reason
Helen doubted it.
Miss Evans is living near here, and
I met her in the subway station. 1t
sounds too good for a coincidence,
perhaps, but it's true She was on her
way to Westchester for an affair of
some kind. and when we got to the
Grand Central / went UP with her to
put her on the train. We found that
she had missed it. She was terribly
excited and 1 offered to take her up
in the car. I offered before I had
time to think and naturally she ac-
cepted. She is that kind
Helen could almost have smiled at
that very characteristic remark of
Warren's but she said nothing; she
felt that she would scream if Warren
did not go on with what he had to
say. and yet she felt that he was not
telling the truth.
But Westchester is such a short
distance out. Surely there was a train
leaving in time for her to. get to the
affair
II didn't stop to think of that. and
I suppose she was only too glad to
accept my offer. Anyway, we went.
And that's about all, you know the
rest"

Bob was looking at him seriously

Miss Field for no apparent reason
Helen listened to the developments
of the case in amazement. So that
was why he hadn't wanted her to
come to his office. Miss Field had
been made to vacate for this other
girl. If she had friends in Westches-
ter why did she appeal to Warren for
help?
This was no time to tell her?" she
heard Warren say furiorsly to Bob,
and then she walked unsteadily to her
own room. She could not think CO.
herently and even when Louise came
in she found small comfort in her
efforts to reassure her.

old autancbfie may, give good service
for several years in carrying produce
to market
Another use for an old automobile is
as light tractor. Farm and Home
tells of Canadian farmer who
conceived the idea of putting his old
car to work on his farm after driving
it more than 10000 miles over the
rough roads OF his county. 1t was
converted into tractor by putting in
an extra axle under the frame, two
feet in front of the rear axle of the
car, on which were placed two binder
wheels. The rear whe els were replaced
with small sprocket wheels, which were,
connected with large sprockets on the
drive wheels by a chain. This reduced
the speed of the car and gave it more
power.
In it's converted form it has proved
very useful. Its owner states he was
able to seed thirty acres day or har-
row from sixty to seventy acres with
his automobile. By drawing two
twelve-inch bushers, he managed to
break five acres day, or the equiva-
lent to the work done by six to eight
horses.
The Consumption of gasoline is much
less than the cost of horse feed, while
the saving in time is an important
item.

The pursuit of the defeated Turkish
army under the command of Khali Bey.
in the Khori-Dalmon region of the eau
casus is being continued, according to
trustworthy advices reaching Tifiis.
This battle, which has resulted in
heavy losses for the Turks, began April
% at Hantahta, near Urumiah. In the
beginning the Russians stood off the
Turks. but the latter received reinforce
ments and on April so the Russians
abandoned Gilman and entrenched them
selves at Magonzhic, the first village on
the way to Khori. From this position
they pounded the Turks with their heavy
artillery until the arrival of Russian re-
Inducements. Three hundred. refugees
from Gilman have arrived at Julia, just
over the border in Russia, and 1900 more
are on their way. The Russian consul
here is taking measures to prevent refu-
gees from Urumiah and Dinman enter
ing the Caucasus.

standing a long preparatory lombard
ment by artillery their attack broke
down under our fire, with heavy losses
to the enemy. On the other hand, we
began attacks in the forest Of ALLY
and to the east thereof, which made
good progress. Up to the present we
have here taken 10 officers and $50 men.
Eastern theater Of war: Attacks
from Roczinis, coming from the
southeast were repulsed. The enemy
is being pursued at Kalwarya. Also
northeast Of Suwallsf, and east Of Au-
gustowo numerous Russian advances
failed. Four hundred Russians in all
were taken prisoners.
ION the remainder Of the front there
were few fights at close quarters, all
Of which were decided in our favor.
Southeastern theater Of war: An
attack by the allied troops north of
the wooded Carpathians pierced
through the third fortified line Of the
Russians. who yesterday were defeat
ed along the entire front, retreating
toward the Wisloka river. The magni-
tude Of the victory may be seen from
the fact that, owing to the piercing by
the allies (Teutonic) Of the enemy's
lines, the Russians are beginning to
evacuate threatened positions on their
northern flank, in the wooded Car
pathians southwest Of Dukla.

BRITISH FIND RUSSIAN REPORTS
REDUCE SCOPE GERMAN VICTORY

London, May s. III p. m.-The
Russian reports concerning the re-
cent fighting in western Galicia are
being accepted by British military
critics as reducing the German
claims of victories in this battle to
more just proportions. Following his
custom, Grand Duke Nicholas. COM
mander in chief, in the field, has not
hesitated to admit a reverse, and con-
firms the German statement that his
antagonists have succeeded in break
ing across the Dunajec river, but the
grand duke adds that he is holding
them fast on the bank of this stream.
and he seems to intimate that he has
little anxiety concerning the ultimate
outcome of the fierce fighting which
has been going on in this region for a
week past.
Observers in London are Of the
opinion that the fact that the Rus
SLAMS have not diverted from their OBJ
jective elsewhere and that the bat
ties in the Stry region continue with
undated energy is good evidence that
the situation Of the Russians Is not
SO critical as has been painted and
the idea is being advanced in London
that political reasons may have had
something to do with the huge i'm
portance attached to this success by
the German and Austrian govern
ments in their official communications
