AifieS Artillery Forces
Said Gaining Ascendancy

Paris - An official eyewitness ac-
count Of the recent fighting in France
and Belgium was given out by the
French War department. The writer
says:
During the past ten days detest-
able weather, continuous rains in some
parts and violent snow squalls in
others and thick fog have hindered the
operations nearly everywhere on the
western battle front. In spite of the
conditions this period has been favor
able to us.
"Our artillery obtained brilliant re-
suits and the enemy evidently was UNI
able to equal our fire. The French
superiority In ammunition and sup
plies is being more and more con-
hrmed.
"Our infantry showed an aggressive
spirit In the Arters, Champagne, Ar
gonne and Alssce regions. and their
operations were crowned with success
We thus obtained appreciable results.
That the German official communica-
tions after having fatty denied. have
now partially admitted that prisoners
and materials have fallen into our
hands. moreover, are the best proofs
of our success.

The pair, Samuel tongue-tied and
bewildered by the Joy OF his finally
won success, moved toward the door.
On the threshold OF the home Blossy
turned and waved farewell to the com
panions OF her widowhood, while Sam
uel bowed in dazed fashion, his face
still red as 1t was blissful Then
quickly the two passed out upon the
porch. No one moved to see them
on. Abe looked everywhere yet no
where at all. Not word was spoken
even when the carriage was heard
rolling down the drive; but the sound
Of the wheels seemed to arouse Angy
from her stupor Of amazement; and
presently Abraham became conscious
of touch-a touch sympathetic, ten
der and true-a touch all-understand-
ing-the touch of Angy's hand within
his own.

CHAPTER K.
The Turn of the Tide.

INV VIII VI hfQ ttdQs
From time immemorial the history
Of the popular hero has ever been the
same. To king and patriot. to the
favorite girl at school and the small
boy who is leader of the gang" to
politician, to preacher. to actor and
author, comes first worship then

escape this common fate; and the pub

for his gallant deeds is scorned today
for having permitted the kissing Oh.
caprice of the human hearti Oh, cry
OF the race for the unaccustomedl
From that first anniversary of his
entrance into the home, Abraham felt
his popularity decrease-in fact more
than decrease. He saw the weather
vane go square about, and where he
had known for three hundred and
sixty-fve days the gentle, balmy feel
of the southwest zephyr. he found him
self standing Of a sudden in a cold,
bleak northeast wind. The change be-
wildered the old man, and reacted on
his disposition. AS he had blossomed
in the sunshine, so now he began to
droop In the shade. Feeling that he
was suspected and criticized, he began
himself. His old notion that he had
no right to take woman's place in
the institution came back to his brain,
and he would brood over 1t for hours
at time, sitting out on the porch with
his pipe and Angy.
The old wife grieved to think that
father was growing old and beginning
to show his years. She made him some
tansy tea. but neither her persuasions
nor those of the whole household could
induce him to take 1t. He had never
liked "doctoring" anyway, although he
had submitted to it more or less during
the past year in unconscious subservi-
ence to his desire to increase his popu-
iarity; but now he fancied that where
once he had been served as king by
all these female attendants, he was
simply being "pestered" as a punish
ment for his past behavior with Blossy.
All, with its surprising ending that

felt too that he would be long in for
giving Mrs. Darby for not having con-
fided to him her actual intentions.
Now he was afraid to be decently
courteous to one OF the sisters for fear
that they might accuse him of light
dalliance again; and he scarcely ever
addressed the new member who came
to take Blossy's little room, for he had
been cut to the quick by her look OF
establishment when she was told that
he belonged there.
In his mental ferment the old man
began to nag at Angy. Sad though Il
is to confess of hero honestly loved,
Abraham had nagged little all his
married life when things went wrong.
And Angeline, fretted and nervous.
herself worried almost sick over
fathers condition, was guilty once in
while out of the depths of her anxi-
ETY. Of nagging back again. So do we
hurt those whom we love best as we
would and could hurt no other.

Abe's ears. Still Angy made him no
response.
"Angy!" he raised his voice In pite-
GUS pleading. What mattered If the
sisters gathered in the lower hall
heard him? What mattered If the
chance guest who had just arrived
heard him also? He had his peace to
make with his wife and he would
make it. "Angyi"
She flung the door open hastily The
signs of the tears had not been obliter-

Straightway she put her hand on his

AMERICAN H|TSM|NE
First U. S. Vessel Sunk in North
Sea Danger Zone.


Washington, ID. c. - The United
States government was advised official
ly Monday night of the first instance
OF the destruction Of an American ves-
sci on the high seas since the outbreak
Of the European war. American Con-
sul Foe, 1t Bremen. cabled that the
steamer Evelyn and her cargo Of cot
ton, bound for Bremen. had been
blown up at Borkum." just off the
const of Germany, but that the crew
had been saved.
The submarine OF mine-was
not given In the dispatch.
After conference with President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan cabled Am
bsssador Page, at London, and Ambas-
ssdor Gerard, at Berlin. to make an
exhaustive inquiry as to the facts. and,
II the crew was landed In either Of
their respective jurisdictions, to fur
nish every care and convenience to
Captain Smith and his men. so that
they might return home safely.
While the extent Of sea zones Of
war proclaimed by Germany WAS never
defined exactly. Borkum Island is con-
sidered far distant from the danger
sreas Of submarines, although the
waters Of that vicinity are filled with
mines for defensive purposes, through
which Germany always has piloted in
coming ships.
Early press dispatches from Berlin
announcing the loss Of the vessel by a
mine caused somewhat Of sensation
In this capital. where the tension has
been more or less pronounced over the
situation in the war zones since the
dispatch Of warning notes by the
United States to both Great Britain
and Germany.
