AUsTRIA,s POWERFUL GUN,
Its Awful Destructiveness is Shown
by Results in Bombarding of
Tarnow.

The German 42-centimeter mortars,
with which Liege was battered into
submission, are declared not to have
been as effective as the Austro-Hun-
garian weapons Of the same calibre-
two of which were used against the
Russian troops in TarnoW in the
great May victory in West Galicla.
In Tarnow one shot from one OF
these guns struck, apparently by er-
ror, peasants house of brick. 1t
is now a mere mass Of bricks, curl
ously level with the ground, mouse
and all having apparently been sWal-
lowed up in the crater made by the
bursting shell. Three persons were
killed in this house. A block away
is one of the city schools, which the
Austrians believed rightly was being
used as quarters for Russian sold
iers. A gaping cleft, 80 feet wide
and extending from cellar to roof Of
the four-story building, shows with
what precision the gunners found
| their mark. A second school build
ing, half mile away, was hit square
ly on the roof. The wall on the side
toward the courtyard is torn out bod
lily. On the side facing the street a
! hole 20 feet in diameter was carved
out neatly in the thick brick ant con-
crete wall, the aperture being as
nicely rounded as if the circle had
been laid out with compassts. TIE
brick work circle came out with snch
! accuracy and force that it has left its
imprint, again as carefuliy-roundcG
semi-circlc, in the high fence of
grated iron before the school building.
| The roof, is, of course, gone, and
from various windows the interior
woodwork projects in tangled masses
Another shell struck the cavalry
barracks in the great courtyard, IN
which Russian soldiers at the moment
wer busily loading supplies for the
retreat. Horses mad men were blown
to pieces by the air pressure from
the explosion or killed by the shower
Of bricks, rooftiles and fragments Of
shell. In the low one stroy building
surrounding the barracks square is
at one point, a great gap, which the
correspondent paced out at 81 wards
wide-the measure of the force of the
explosion.
Tic new 42-centimeter shais wcinh
over $500 pounds-more than those
o: thl krupp gun. and ca.n shell
costs over $500.

CHAPTER XIII.
Perilous Places.


Ten days later Annette Ilington,
now called the little white angel even
by the shore squad from the cruiser,
felt her skirts plucked by clutching
hand. She looked down. A native-a
mere bag of bones In tumble Of rags
--crouched at her feet
Little white angel" whined the ma
tive in Spanish-ahd Annette had
learned enough of the tongue to listen
to appeals for help-"my daughter
just like you-so kind, and pretty
She lies at deaths door. You have
food, you have medicine-and you can
lay your hand on her. She will get
well. What you have done for 9TH
ers you can do for her"
An officer from the Albany turned
the corner. Annette's heart leaped.
The man was Neal Hardi2
Meal" she cried listen to him
talk to him for me. Ask him where
his daughter is-I'll go unless it's too
far"
Neal spoke to the man in his native
language. The man jabt cred back
eloquently.
"Only a short distance out of town
said Neal, "oyer that HILL
"I'll CO." said Annette.
Neal pondered for a moment. "All
right" he said. and I'm free just
now. I'll go with YOU
The native leaped to his feet with
alacrity and ran crookedly ahead of
them. Outside of the town they
plunged into underground and then
through woods-but the ground was
dry and the trail was fairly good.
At the door of hut the native
paused and motioned them in
Neal and Annette entered side by
side. In dark corner was huddled
shape under filthy cloth Annette
sprang toward it. AT that instant the
native dropped to the ground and
clutched Meals ankles tightly In each
hand. At the same instant the hud
died figure in the corner leaped to its
feet--it was no stricken girl--it was
Hernandez, with the light of triumph |
in his eyes. And at the same instant
Ponto and the brute sprang into the
fray. -.
It was only a matter of moment
before Annette and Neal found them
selves bound and lying on the floor.
