I looked at Eliene in surprise, for
certainly no woman must have sUf-

found out about the twins, and her
generous adoption of them must have
made them a constant reminder of
that time.

believe that if had not been so pa

we were first married 1 would not

that did when the twins were born,

Perfectly so, am glad to say. If

Saturday saved the Pennyroyal
Fair and the crowd was one of the
largest ever seen on the grounds.
The weather was ideal and the mud
gradually disappeared under the ge-
NAL rays of the sun and the program
of races was carried out without
any sort of trouble.
The gate receipts ran well up into
the thousands and the Fair was pull
ed out of what looked like a mighty
deep hole.
The merchants also had fine days
trade and more cheerful aspect was
seen on all sides.
With the fine weather still pre-
vailing, the merchants are now busy
reaching out for an old.time busy

ULTIMATUM
Russia Insists on Open Break
With Central Powers
at Once.
DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ACTION
Believed King Ferdinand Has
Decided to Aid Germany--At-
tack on Serbia Is Probable.

London, Oct. 4.-The Russian min
lister at Sofia has been ordered by his
government to leave the Bulgarian
capital if within twenty-four hours
Bulgaria does not openly break with
the central powers and dismiss
Austro-German officer in that
country directing the operations Of
King Ferdinand's army.
The other powers of the quadruple
entente are backing up Russia in
this demand, and Bulgaria must de-
eide within few hours on continued
neutrality or be considered definitely
committed to the central powers.
1t is considered certain here that
King Ferdinand and Premier RADIO
slavoff have made their choice and
are awaiting only the completion of
mobilization to strike at Serbia and
assist the Austro- Germans to open
the road to Constantinople, which
has been anxiously waiting for
many weeks for promised aid from
the central powers.
Greece, it is believed. will live up
to her treaty with Serbia and go to
her assistance if she is attacked by
her neighbor. The attitude of Ru-
mania, which remains a partly mo-
bilized spectator, is uncertain.
Rain and mud have prevented the
Anglo-French armies from continu-
ing their full offensive in Artois.

ever, is still going.
