Slowly there came back to her the

flight.
Around her the natives lay in pos

Apart sat Sir Donald. rife on his

She called over to Faversham, and

some brusgueness. Il don't intend
that you shall risk your life again in

John Dorr had steadily grown more
and more suspicious of the English
mans attitude. and he now bitterly re-
scented his assumption Of guardianship
over Ruth. the more SO that be real

once from a tangle of his making and

her language was plain:

Nonsense" said Mrs. Reynolds se-

Building plans were talked over, but
as is always the case in matters OF

into consideration.
The majority of members, it was
stated. favored bringing the matter
to the point where work could be COM
|menced on the new club house at once.
The details connected with such an
undertaking, however, will necessitate
Iprocee ding slowly until all of these
can be fully worked over.

ITALY NEARING
POINT OF WAR

Rome, May 10-The Italian govern
ment now is expected to reach shortly
it's decision for or against war. In
this connection Rome regards as of sig
nificance the visit to the capital of
Signor Giolitti former premier and a
member of the neutralist group.
It is reported in Rome that if Italy
decides to enter the war she will do so
by declaring war on Turkey.
Rumors are in circulation in govern
ment circles that Italy's time limit dur
ing which Austria must make a salts
factory reply to her demands expires
at midnight. If Austria has not con-
ceded everything asked for by that
time, the reports say, all negotiations
will be broken off.
The Italian officials refuse to confirm
the reports, but it is certain matters
are again approaching a crisis.

PARKING THE RIGHT OF WAY.

The Times-Record is reliably inform
ed that the committee appointed to
take up the matter of leasing the right
of way adjacent to the N. P. depot
on the south side of the main track.
and also the other members of the city
council, are in favor of acquiring the
lease Immediately. Arrangements
have been made so that it will not cost
the city anything to have the parking
done or for maintenance. The south
side track on this ground is to be re-
moved, and this will allow for an in
crease of the ground to be parked to
the extent of strip 20 feet wide. The
plan is to have flower beds between the
side track and the main track, and a
park south of the side track. In this
park is to be one of the showiest foun-
tains that it is possible to construct,
and other ornamental features. The
citizens should be thankful there are
a few who have the welfare of the city
at heart enough to push the matter 20
completion, and in a few weeks when
they behold the transformation of an
unsightly tract to a, thing of beauty,
will wonder why it could not have been
accomplished long before.
