Averills thought-we should do well
to follow. 800
The one great question which had
agitated her was this: Should she trust
the judge? Ever since the discovery
which had changed Reuther's pros
poets she had instlnctively looked to
this one source for aid and sympathy.
But her faith had been sorely shaken
in the interview Just related. He was
not the friend she had hoped to find.
He had insisted upon her husbands
guilt. and he had remained unmoved.
or but very little moved, by the dis
appointment Of his son-his only re.
manning link to life. Judge Ostrander
might seem cold-both manner and
temper would naturally be much af-
fected by his unique and solitary mode
of life-but at heart he must love OIL.
yer. 1t was not in nature for 1t to
be otherwise. And yet
1t was at this point in her musing
that there came one of the breaks in
her restless pacing. She was always
of an impulsive temperament, and al
ways giving way to it. Sitting down
before paper and ink she wrote the
following lines:
My Darling II Unhappy Child:

part must strike you as cruel. when. II
ever. you need your mothers presence
and care. But the love ! feel for you.

momentary pain for the sake of the great
good I hope to bring you out OF this
shadowy quest. l believe, what said to
you on leaving. that great injustice was

them.

II was not easy for her to sign
herself thus. 1t was name which
she had tried her best to forget for
twelve long. preoccupied years. But
her purpose had been accomplished,
or would be when once this letter
reached Reuther. With these words
in declaration against her she could
not retreat from the stand she had
therein taken.

WHITE STAR LINER
 ADRIATIC IN TROUBLE?
RumOr Has It That Steamer Has Been Sunk-Ques-
 tion As to Identity.

New York, Nov. 15.-There was a report this morning in maritime cir cles that the steamship Adriatic had been sunk, but the report did not state whether the steamship was the big passenger ship of the White Star line or was the British steamship Adriatic, which left Kymassi, Greece, On October 13 for Philadelphia, and I'ssssed Tarifa, Spain, on October 19.
 The White Star liner Adriatic ar rived in Liverpool November II, and was not scheduled to leave for New York until November "A. Later a re- port became current on the maritime exchange that it was the Adriatic of the White Star line that was in trouble
 The other steamship Adriatic, bound for Philadelphia, from Kymas- si should be about in mid d-Atlantic to- day. s.
 Officials of the White Star line said this morning that they had no infor- mation regarding the Adriatic other than that she had arrived safely last Thursday in Liverpool. They did not credit the report. David Lindsay as- sistant to MT. Jeffries, the passenger manager of the White Star line said that he was positive the Adriatic was still at Liverpool
 '"The Adriatic was heavily laden when she left New York;" said MT. Lindsay, land it would take at least three days to unload her and as many more to load for the return voyage to this port. She was not scheduled to sail for New York until November 24'
 The Adriatic was built in 1906 and cost nearly $4,O00,O0O. She has gross tonnage of 24,541.

BURkITT REINSTATED DESPITE DISRESPECT
President Wilson Not to Take Exception at Re-
 mark on Engagement.

Washington, Nov. 15.-President
 Wilson today instructed Postmaster
 General Burleson to reinstate George Burkitt, removed as assistant post
 master at Winnetka, ILL, because he | criticised the president for his engage ] ment to be married. The president | qualified his instructions by telling the | postmaster general Burkitt should be
 restored to his position if there were ! no other charges against him.
 Announcement of this action was
 made today by Secretary Tumulty
 after brief conference with Presi-
 dent Wilson. It was said unofhcially
 that the president entirely disapproved discharging Burkitt for making the re- marks accredited to him.
 In published correspondence be- tween Burkitt and Postmaster Kloeh- fer of winnetka, it was stated that Burkitt had been. given demerits for other things than the remarks about the presidents engagement. That Burkitt denied. The president did not go into that feature in his instructions to Postmaster General Burleson but made it clear that Burkitt should not be discharged for merely expressing the view that a man should not be- come engaged within year after the death of his wife. It was stated at the White House that Postmaster Gen. era1 Burleson had no knowledge of the case before it was called to his attention by publication in newspa- pers. The discharge of Burkitt was by Assistant Postmaster General Roper, after an exchange of letters with Burkitt.
 Burkitt protested he had not had an opportunity to reply to the charges as required by civil service laws
 MT. Roper informed him that the law had been compiled with by let ter sent to Burkitt by the postmaster notifying him of the charge of show ing disrespect to the president
 White House officials were annoyed by the publicity given to the case, and 1t was expected that Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson would act immediately on the presidents instructions.

Copenhagen, Nov. IA, via London. Nov. 15, 5:05 a. m.-Nearly 5000 per- sons who had gathered tonight at a. hall where Erling Bjornson, son of the Norwegian dramatist, was to de- liver lecture upon the impressions of the war he had gained from visits to three fronts, refused to permit the speaker to go on with his address.
 Members of the German legation staff occupied prominent seats in the hall, but most of the audience wa g composed of Copenhagen residents in cluding a large number of students When Bjornson rose to speak the audience sang and< shouted, declaring it's willingness to listen to German but not person from a neutral coun- try.
 After striving vainly for an hour to restore order, the chairman declared the meeting closed without Biornson having spoken. A large force of mo- lice was present, but the disturba nee was not of nature to require their intervention.

Hartford, Nov. 15.-A loss estimst- ed at over $25,000 mostly to stock of costly oriental rugs, resulted from blaze in the interior of the Don- chian Building at No. 205 Pearl street at 4:3O this morning. Michael Sull- ivan, watchman, who sleeps in the front office of the building was arous- ed only when the fire apparatus ap- peared The origin of the fire re- mains a mystery. It started in d stairway at the rear of of the rug store and on the ground floor of the four story extension. A passer- by sent in an alarm and five com panies responded. Despite the fine start of the flames the firemen had the blaze under control in very short time after the streams of water were poured in the well. Bremen from Engine Co. No. 2 had dan- gerous place on the roof, working from the glass skylight. It was one of the hottest fires that the depart ment has encountered in some.
 Near where the fire started on inc ground floor was room filled with rugs, the value of which was placed at $15,000.
 The upper three floors of the building were rented to the Jewel Betting company Officials of that company said their loss was chiefly to leather stock.
 In the basement of the building stock belonging to the manufacturing concern of I. Allen & Son, manufac- turers of window sashes was damag- ed to some extent.
