LONDON, Nov. 20.-Although no
official confirmation has been re-
ceived of the report that the Bull
garians have captured Monastir. in
southwestern Serbia, little hope Is
felt in England that the announce
ment is premature. Accepting II as
true, the impression is growing that
the entente allies arrived too late to
give any service to the 5erbians.
The only thing certain In regard 70 the
plight OF Serbia Is that its military situa-
ton is going from bad TO worse In the

Austro-German forces, which probably
would move more rapidly II weather

that the Bulgsrisns are in Prilep and at

seem TO do no better than hold thor

diplomatic situation In Greece still per-
sIsts In England. The reasons for this
optimism. however. continue TO be OBJ

Woman,s LoQic.

You sometimes wonder about the
logic of the feminist mind.
A man was to meet his wife at her
office at one o'clock to take luncheon
with her. He was 20 minutes late. She
had gone out.
He sat down and waited. At 1880
she arrived.
what are you doing here?" she
asked.
I'm waiting for you"
Didn't you know l wouldn't come

out?"

streets of Hixon as stranger. And,
after leaving Hixon, there was a mis-
sion to be performed at Jesse Purvys
store. AS he thought of that mission
grim CLINT came to his pupils.
All journeys end, and as Samson
passed through the tawdry cars Of the
local train near Hixon he saw several
faces which he recognized, but they
either eyed him in inexpensive silence
or gave him the greeting of the fur
riner."
AS Samson crossed the toll bridge
to the town proper he passed two
brown-shirted militiamen, lounging on
the rail of the middle span. They
grinned at him, and, recognizing the
outsider from his clothes, one of them
commented:
"Ain't this the hell Of town."
ITS going to be-" replied Samson,
systematically, as he went on.
Still unrecognized, he hired horse
at the livery stable, and for two hours
rode in silence, save for the easy
creaking of his stirrup feathers and
the soft thud of hoofs.
The silence soothed him. The brood
ing hills lulled his spirit as a grooming
song lulls fretful child. Mile after
mile unrolled forgotten vistas. Some
thing deep in himself murmured:
"Home!"
1t was late afternoon when he saw
ahead of him the orchard of Purvy's
place, and read on the store wall, a
little more weather stained, but other
wise unchanged:
Jesse Purvy, General Merchandise. -
The porch of the store was empty,
and as Samson flung himself from his
saddle there was no one to greet him
This was surprising, since, ordinarily,
two or three of Purvy's personal
guardsmen loafed at the front to watch
the road. Just now the guard should
logically be doubled. Samson still
wore his eastern clothes-fOr he want
ed to go through that door unknown
AS Samson South he could not cross

company to quell the trouble in the
mountains, should have been a soldier
by profession. All his enthusiasms
were martial.
The deepest sorrow and mortifica-
ton he had ever known was that which
came to him when Tamarack Spicer,
his prisoner of war and man who had
been surrendered on the strength of
his personal guaranty, had been as
sassinated before his eyes. In some
fashion, he must make amends. He
realized, too, and it ranked deeply,
that his men were not being genuinely
used to serve the state, but as instru-
ments of the Hollmans, and he had
seen enough to distrust the Hollmans.
Here, in Hixon, he was seeing things
from only one angle. He meant to
learn something more impartial.

Impatience among the Japanese is a
thing you will rarely observe as you
travel through their strange and beau.
tiful country. If. on the other hand,
you yourself, in touring Japan, might
upon occasion grow somewhat i'm.
patient, you will only become the
quiet laughing stock-behind your
back-of the little laps themselves.

flooring no one challenged his advance.
The yard and orchard were quiet from
their front fence to the grisly stock
ade at the rear, and, wondering at
these things, the young man stood for
moment looking about at the after
noon peace before he announced him
self.
Yet Samson had not come to the
stronghold of his enemy for the pur-
pose Of assassination. There had been
another object in his mind-an utterly
mad idea, it is true, yet so bold of
conception that it held a ghost of
promise. He had meant to go into
Jesse Purvy's store and chat artlessly,
like some inquisitive "furriner." He
would ask questions which by their
very impertinence might be forgiven
on the score of strangers folly. But,
most of all, he wanted to drop the cas-
ual information, which he should as
sumo to have heard on the train, that
Samson South was returning, and to
mark on the assassin leader, the effect
Of the news. In his new code it was
necessary to give at least the rattler's
warning before he struck, and he
meant to strike. If he were recog-
nized well-he shrugged his shoulders.
But as he stood on the outside, wip-
ing the perspiration from his forehead,
for the ride had been warm, he heard
voices within. They were loud and
angry voices. 1t occurred to him that
by remaining where he was he might
gain more information than by hur.
rying in.

WAR TERMS NOT UNDERSTOOD
"Forlorn Hope" for Instance, Has Not
the Meaning With Which II
Is Credited.

In the course of every war one
hears great deal about "forlorn
hopes" The term is one of the most
misused in the vocabulary of war. 1t
is commonly misunderstood to mean
lost troop"-that is detached
troop" The word hope" in the
phrase is not an English but Dutch
word, hoop" meaning literally
heap" and secondarily body Of
troops. The word "forlorn" represents
the Dutch "verloren A "ver-
loren hoop" was a detached body Of
troops thrown out in front of the main
line of battle to find the enemy
and engage them first. This was the
regular sixteenth and seventeenth
century practice, and though it was
one Of the more dangerous kinds of
service it was not desperate or, in
the English sense, forlorn. Nowadays
much the same work is done by the
detached bodies of cavalry which are
thrown out before the main line to find
the enemy.
"Capitulation" Is another term OF
war, which is very loosely used. 1t
does not mean surrender, but sur
render on terms; in fact, it means the
terms, not the surrender. 1t is from
the Latin "capitulum" or heading"
(from which is derived our word
"chapter"). and a capitulation is .
formal treaty Of surrender drawn up
under a series of headings or chap
tiers, embodying the terms on each
point,

Slowly Samson South came to his

pitch which Wilfred had once before
heard. His eyes were as clear and
hard as transparent flint.

forgetting things near by. His eyes
blazed and his fingers twitched.
