CHAPTER XIV.
A Mother Intervenes.

Long past midnight the telephone
In the Desmond apartment rang sharp
ly, insistently. Lydia, who had Just
fallen asleep, awoke with start and
sat bolt upright in her bed. A clammy
perspiration broke out all over her
body. She knew there had been a
catastrophe.
She sat there chattering until she
heard her mothers door open and then
the click Of the receiver as it was
lifted from the hook. Then she put
her fingers to her ears and closed her
eyes. The very worst had happened.
she was sure OF It, The blow had
fallen. The only thought that scared
her brain was that she had failed him,
failed him miserably in the crisis. Oh.
II she could only reclaim that lost
hour of indecision and cowardicel
The light In the hallway suddenly
smote her in the face and she realized
for the first time that her eyes were
tightly closed as II to shut out some
abhorrent sight.

in the open door "oh, you are awaken"
Mrs. Desmond stared In amazement
at the girls figure.

The girl sprang out OF bed and hur-
ried to the telephone.
Don't go away. mother-stay here"
she cried as she sped past the white
clad figure in the doorway. Mrs. Des-
mond fiattened herself against the wall
and remained there as motionless as
a statue. her somber gaze fixed on her
daughters face.

OlD'STEPM0TAER
FOR SHOOTING BOY
Mrs. Frank Massey, Aged
16, Accused of Killing
9-Year- Old Boy.

springdale, Feb. 24.-Frank Mas
sey, aged 80 years, and his wife
Della, aged 16, are virtually under
arrest tonight as result OF the 1atal
shooting of Massey's 9-year-old SON
Leonard, at the Massey home late
yesterday.
A coroner's jury late today found
that the step-mother killed the boy
who died early today. The boy was
shot in the head while seated outside
the kitchen of the Massey home.
Mrs. Massey blamed the shooting on
Albert Literal, aged 1S, son OF a
neighbor. Evidence at the hearing
indicated the shot was fired from the
kitchen through a door which bore
the bullet hole. This discovery was
made by the jury after Mrs. Massey
vigorously denied the shooting. She
continued to deny the charge when
she was recalled, after an hours rig
i'd examination.

Russians Still Hope.

Petrograd, Feb 24.-Hope is still
entertained in military circles that
q considerable portion of the Twen-
tieth army corps, which was sur
rounded by the Germans on the re-
treat through the Augustowo forest,
NAV succeed IL n1.7ing it's way out
and join the Russian forces on the
Niemen line.
These hopes are based on the con-
tinual arrival of small detachments,
which succeeded in extricating them
selves from the woody labyrinth and
also on the fact that the distance sep
arating the isolated units from the
main body is no longer great.
The character of the tract over
which the retreat Is taking place will
prevent the Germans from making
full use of their superiority in num-
bers. AugustoWo forest is practically
a trackless wilderness with sWampy
wastes, through which it it is imPos-
sible for heavy troops to move rapid
ly.
It is realized that fighting on four
front against vastly superior force
the Twentieth corps must have suf-
fered. heavily and at best only rem
nant can survive. At the same time
| it is by no means unlikely that the
losses of the Germans have been al
together out of proportion to theelr
success, because a great deal or the
! fighting must have been hand to
lhand. 0,gsEe
