Pitchoune, being invited to the
musicale at the Chateau d'Esclignac,
went along with his master. running be-

full Of sunlight and delicious odors.
and over. the towers Of King Rene's
castle the sky banners were made Of
celestial blue.
The officer found the house full Of
people. He thought it hard that he
might not have had one more intimate
picture to add to his collection. When
he entered the room young man was
playing violoncello. There was a
group atthe piano. and among the PEG
pie the only ones he clearly saw were
the hostess, Madame d'Esclignac in
a. gorgeous velvet frock, then Miss
Redmond, who stood by the window,
listening to the music. She saw him
come in and smiled to him. and from
that moment his eyes hardly left her.
What the music was that afternoon
the Count de Sabron could not have
told very intelligently. Much of 1t was
sweet. all of 1t was touching, but when
Miss Redmond stood to sing and chose
the little song Of which he had made
lullaby, and sang 1t divinely, Sab
ron, his hands clasped behind his back
and his head q little bent, still looking
at her. thought that his heart would
break. It was horrible to 90 away and
not tell her. It was cowardly to feel
80 much and not be able to speak It.
And he felt that he might be equal
to some wild deed, such az crossing
the room violently, putting his hand
over her slender one and saying:

quite out Of the question, nevertheless
charmed and soothed him. The words
Of her English song, almost barbaric

on his ears. Its melody was already
part Of him.

IN SOUTH ST. LOUIS

ST Louis. Aug PA heavy rain
has flooded residence sections in
South st. Louis.
Teiephoned appeals for aid said por-

yond its banks. The Merrimac river.

flooded low lands and a number OF
clubhouses and out-oftown homes OF
wealthy St Louisans, as well as many
farm dwellings. Police were heavily

Thousands of workers in the south

Washington. Aug. 21.-The official

act deliberately unfriendly to the
United States were lacking and mean
while the president and all other ad-

Ambassador Page forwarded a
White Star report that the ship was

Consul Thompson at Queenstown

While Off cials are keeping their
minds open during the hours which

Whether any Americans have been
lost and whether the Arabic actually
was torpedoed without warning.
Whether the Arabic, by having been

age, had, under international law. par
taken of the character of its convoy

The usual daily statement from Ger
man army headquarters, which was
issued several hours after the special
bulletin announcing the fall of Novo-
georgievsk, says that the complete
garrison at that fortress consisted of
IS, 900 men.
Fall of Fortress Expected.
The capture of Novogorgievsk had
been foreseen since the fall of War
saw. When the general Russian re.
treat was made from the Warsaw sal
lent, Grand Duke Nicholas, the Rus
sian ommanderin-chief. elected TO
leave a garrison in the fortress, rath-
er than evacuate this position, as il
was recognized that the only ques-
tion was how long the defenders
would be able to hold out.
The grand dukes decision apparent
ly was due to the strategical position
of the fortress So long as the Rus.
slams retained il they were able to
stop communication on the Vistula
river
Novogeorgievsk is nineteen miles
northwest of Warsaw and is situated
at the junction of the Vistula, Ma
rev and Wkra rivers.
For almost two weeks the fortress
had been completely invested by the
Germans and several of the outlying
forts were captured earlier this week
Novogeorgievsk was strongly defend
ed and was said to have been equipped
with sufficient ammunition and food
supplies for a long period.
Its speedy capture doubtless repre-
sents another triumph for the great
