THE SETON GIRLS
BY A. TENNY SPRING.

Copyright. 1914. by W. G. Chapman,
Sorry you have to 60 back to New
York, old man" said Fred Holmes to
Arnold Rttenhouse.
The two young men had been
friends at college and ever since.
They had been enjoying fishing vaca
ton together when Rittenhouse's flrm
summoned him on a matter Of urgent
business, which would cut three days
out of his holiday. However. Arnold
was to rejoin his friend as soon as
possible.
II hope you won't find 1t too hot IN

mering place, with cool apartment
and most Of the people gone. But !
don't know that I want to see the city
again."
He sighed, with the dependency OF
twenty-five. Fred was young man
of means and could make his home
wherever he chose. He had had an
unhappy love affair. the details Of
which he had confided to his friend.
It was the case of an ambitious
mother in Europe set upon title for
her daughter, a dangling suitor with
the prospect Of an earls coronet, and
q young American eating out his
heart in loneliness.
Honest. Arnold, II you could see
Rita I think you'd be as crazy about
her as am" he said to his friend.
"She's got little sister. Beth, that's
almost as stunning, toe. Now Beth is
q regular madcap. II only the mother
had picked her cor the marriage! But
she took Rita to Europe and left Beth
behind. The old earl can't last long,
and his brother, who's fifty II he's Q

shoes!"
Arnold had rented a furnished apart

an agent, the owners having gone to
Europe till September. He was glad
to have this refuge when he returned

BOOSTING BUY.AT.HOME.

Charleston has started campaign
Of large proportions known as the Buy
at-Home movement, The name indi
Gates the purpose Of the organization
It is composed of business men who pro
pose to make SERVICE the basis OF
their campaign to induce the people OF
the city to buy at home and to support
home industries. The business men
who ask the people Of the city to dc
this will first place themselves In posi-
ton to sell the people what they want
and need to render service Of the high
est class to the public. They will then
demand that the people stand by their
own business concerns and deal with
them. A campaign Of education will
be waged, by means Of which the pub,
lie will be informed Of the purposes
and Importance of the movement and
public sentiment and community enthu'
siasm aroused to a pitch which will
make the movement q success from the
start.
From this point Of view the movement
appears to be one dictated by good
judgement and sound business princi.
pies. II it is good for Charleston ii
will be a good thing for other towns
and cities in South Carolina. The Che
raw board Of trade should investigate
with q view of adapting something OF
the sort to the needs Of this place. The
Charleston campaign is being promoted
by the Retail Merchants Association

to the broiling city. New York was
oppressively hot, and the apartment
on Riverside Drive. was cool and dark
A current Of air blew up the Hudson,
rendering It ono Of the most habitable
places south Of the Adirondacks.
Rittenhouse flung himself down In
his rented morris chair that evening
with sigh Of relief Not for him the
amusement of sitting in hot theater
listening to a comedian wheeling to
an almost empty house! He knew
better than that. He was going to
cut his stay in New York as short as
possible by the simple process OF
sleeping as kong as he vas able. And
the firm had promised him an extra
week.
He took off his coat and unbuttoned
his collar Then, with natural perver'
sity, the collar button slipped out OF
his fingers. It would no doubt have
rolled under the bureau had that not
been impossibly far away. Therefore
1t chose the next best place; 1t rolled
under the bed.
With an unscriptural remark, Rit'
tenhouse got down on his hands and
knees and vent after it. He found It
In the farthest corner. He was just
about to emerge when the door opened
and a young lady came In.
Rittenhouse was struck dumb with
amazement. The young lady imme'
diately proceeded to the mirror and
took a powder puff out Of her reticule,
Rittenhouse choked with horror.
The young lady started. She looked
around. Then. apparently reassured
that nothing had happened, she be-
gan to unstrap a light suitcase which
Rittenhouse now perceived she had
brought in with her She stopped over
Il and picked up something. The next
instant Rittenhouse perceived that he
was looking into the wicked eye OF a
glittering revolver.
Come out Of there or flre!" said
the young lady.
Rittenhouse came out. He scram
bled to his feet. On the chair lay
his tell-tale coat. Doubtless 1t was
this and not the choke that had star
tied his visitor
MAY I put on my coat and button
my collar" inquired Rittenhouse, as
the revolver perked upward at his
attempt to move.
NO." said the young lady. What
are you doing In my apartment?
Hands up! Don't you dare put them
down."
It's Eiine," said Ristenhouse hum
bly,. Il rented 1t from Flood for the
season"

SUBMARINES NETTED, is TALE
IN LONDON
One Report Has 1t That Germans Have
Lost 34-Nets Placed Around sup
ply Bases.

ply Bases.
London, May 25,-Rumors from
Copenhagen that German naval au-
thorities admit the loss of seventeen
submarines since the opening Of the
war are generally believed here. In
fact, many English officials are in
clined to believe the German subma
rine losses are considerably greater
than seventeen. ne report has placed
the number at thirtyfour.
Ever since the two German sub
marines were taken and their crews
were made prisoners by the English
1t has been generally believed I'm Eng
land that many captures were being
made which the Admiralty did not
care to make public. Wire nets
placed by the Admiralty in waters
where German submarines may lie
In wait for ships are supposed to
have made 1t possible to capture some
Of them.
These nets are much like woven
wire fencing, except that their meshes
are much coarser. BY means Of wood
en- blocks the nets are kept submerged
at about the depth submarines strike
the nets their fins; and propellers he.
come entangled in the wire and they
are forced to rise to the surface.
When submarine hit a net an cleo
trfcal connection flashes q signal to
some naval base, thus making it posi-
BILE for naval craft to rush to the plac,
ed by the Admiralty In waters entangle
itself.
The British and French navies have
located many Of the oil tanks planted
by the Germans to supply petrol to
the submarines, and nets are reported
to have beeen placed near these sup.
ply stations. Rumors have been cir
culated that in some cases the Eng.
lishh have diluted the petrol in the
supply tanks and mixed it with
chemicals which would ruin subma-
rine engines If they attempted to use
1t.
