WHAT MAY HAPPEN

A dear little boy
Doubled up o er book,
A jack not jack-knife
Only just look
''Sit straighter, my son,
His papa often said.
But bent like reed
Wind-bruised, he read,
There came a cold snap:
Tea froze in the urn;
But this dear little chap
He was rea.iing Jules Verne p
Still sailed to the moon
In his chair crumpled up,
While the mercury crawled
Way down in its cup.
The supper-bell rang,
But poor little Jack
For ouce was behind
Because of his back.
The doctor who came
And felt of his wrist,
Said it was a bad case
OF chilled double-twist.
AND gave my poor Jack
II rrar wars zzlr11roAt a. urg
As his terrible bill.
For the money papa
To the doctor did pay
Would have bought Jack a sled;
Yes, bought him a sleigh.
And all TO no good;
For Jack, since that sup,
But sideways could grow
He never grew up.
And lhongh he has told
Ten years i'll a bank,
He's still but teller
OF moderate rank.
For higher position
He is competent quite
But then cashier
Must be ever upright.
Tie moral S lis:
If you want to be great,
Don't stoop Wien you sit,
But always 81 straight.

You are sure you understand that
do not love you?" she insisted.
Again he smiled. You think that
you do not" he amended. "As I told
you last night, 1t is more proper for q
young woman to avoid thought of such
affairs until she is asked. 1 know you
like me. and I know you will care
more for me when you know me bet
ter"
He paused expectantly, but she did
not look up.
II am waiting for my answer, Jane"
he suggested.
81 will marry you," she said.
He leaned over her and put his arm
about her. She suppressed the violent
shudder that ran through her frame.
Kiss me, my girl he commanded
She closed her hands tightly to-
gether as she raised her face. She
closed her eyes that she might not see
his expression. AS he pressed his lips
to hers and drew her to him in close
embrace his hot breath made her
slightly sick. Then he released her
II will call your parents" he said,
with a return to his customary tone.
Augustus Makes the Big Announce
Jane stood up as she heard her
mother and father coming in response
to his summons.
'I want to tell you good people"
Augustus announced with his bonn
bastic manner that Jane has decided

taken time to think the matter over.
She is going to marry me, my friends" p"
Still no color came to the pale face.
Jane returned her mothers tremulous
caress. She also said THANK you"
when her father put his arm around
her in a long time, she reflected. She
had once thought of kisses as meaning
love. Now they seemed to mean that
the person bestowing them approved
of the conduct of the person receiving
them. Had they ever really meant
anything else to her?
She pulled herself up sharply. This
kind of thinking would do no good.
She wondered Just what was expected
of her now, and turned to her mother.
'It must be getting late" she said.
You sit here and talk-you and
father-and let me get the supper

would keep her from realizing what
had happened.
YES" Reeves said indulgently, "let
her get the supper. She ought to get
into practice. For even if I have a
good housekeeper. expect my wife to
know how to do things"
He gave vent to self satisfied
chuckle. Mr.. and Mrs. Hardy echoed
his laugh feebly, and Jane hurried
| from the room to avoid hearing any
more of her fiance's clumsy pleasan-
tries.

CHAPTER XXI


Copyright, 1915, Star Company.
Jane Hardy felt as If she were in a
dream. The intellectual numbness that
prevents ones appreciation of the
crisis through which she is passing had
mercifully come to her. She accepted
1t without allowing herself to go be-
low the surface for explanation of
those things which might have puzzled
her.
Therefore. when she heard nothing
from Edward Sanderson, she took his
silence unquestioningly just as she
took the fact that on the day of her
decision not to marry the man she
loved Augustus Reeves had come to
call on her.
1t was late afternoon and she was
in the sitting room as she saw him and
her father enter the front gate. She
was so DULY miserable that she did
not rouse herself to speculate as to
wether Ezra had asked Augustus to
come to his house with him. If she
had known the facts, perhaps even
then she would not have reused her
self to express any indignation.
Ezra Hardy had gone this afternoon
to Augustus Reeves's home to tell him
that Jane had come to her senses"
and was ready to listen to reason. Had
Mrs. Mary Baird. his housekeeper,
listened at the door behind which her
employer and his guest were in con-
ference she might have heard that
which would have surprised her.
Jane Hardy did not try to escape
her visitor by flight. Instead, she sat
still until he entered the sitting room
alone, then she greeted him politely.
Your father told me you were in
here" Reeves remarked affably.
''He saw you at the window when
we came UP the walk
Yes. 1 saw you coming" Jane
said Shall I call mother in to see
you, or has father gone to tell her you
are here?"
your father knows that I came to
see you, Jane. so he will not call your
mo her." her caller informed her.
He noticed that the girl was very
pale. Perhaps she had lain awake all
night worrying over her foolish de-
cision of last evening. Well, young
people were often silly. He would ex-
willing to listen to reason now.
Jane Takes the Irrevocable Step
Jane" he said. seating himself by
her, now that you've had time to
think about what I said to you last
night. don't you think you'd be :
change your mind?"
She dropped her eyes. There was
no flushing of the face, no indication
of any love tremors. But that was all
right. the man told himself
She replied in a low voice: What I
said last night, Mr.. Reeves, was true.
That isl will not pretend to any man
that 1 love him when do not. had
never supposed that you really cared
for me except as the daughter of my
parents-your old friends. You have
been kind to me-but never imagined
that you had more than a friendly
feeling for me-"
Augustus smiled with qualification.
THAT is the way you should have
thought about the matter" he ap-

Mothers of little children will be sure to
welcome this coat. 1t is very smart one
and at the same time, it is simple one.
Beneath the cape, there is yoke and the
full portions Of the coat are joined to this
yoke. If simpler garment is wanted,
the cape can be omitted, and in such case,
it is pretty to smock the fulness in place
of gathering it. Here, the material 10
broadcloth with fur trimming, but little
children will wear corduroy, velveteen,
velvet and heavy silks, drap d'ete and a
variety of cloths, so that there is wide
opportunity Tor choice, and the trimming
can be varied almost indefinitely. Fur is
in the height of fashion, but binding Of
silk braid will also be used. Soutache
braid applied over simple design would
make pretty finish, and for the very little
children, coat of drap d'ete or broad
cloth could be scalloped or embroidered
to make good effect. The pattern gives
the true basting line and also the seam

TO INACCURATE NEW
 ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
 FOR THE U. $. NAVY

Washington, June 1S-Under a new navy yards to be inaugurated July l, Secretary Daniels expects to demon strate that battleships can be con structed by the government at a cost that will insure satisfactory compeu- tion in bidding for contracts by pri- vate builders.
 In announcing the new system today MT Daniels said after studying the problem for months he had concluded that the present system of charging a proportionate share of the ordinary running expenses of the yards in fig uring construction cost was wrong. These expenses, he said, constituted q military necessity and continued whether ships were or were not built at the yards. While private yards use the old system the navy view is that their business is construction and not repair work. and that to apply that system to government plants results In charging new ships with a part of the cost of repaid work on other craft.
 The New York navy yard is the only government plant now equipped to build battleships. Within two or tn ce years. however Secretary Daniels sx- poets the Philadelphia yard also will be equipped to turn out vessels of any size.

DEATH SENTENCEOF
 BECKER AFFIRMED
 BY ALBANY COURT
Little Hope of Executive Clemency-Thaw Must Be Tried to Test
 His Sanity

Albany, N. Y. June 1s.-rhe court of appeals today upheld the order of Su-
 preme Court Justice Hendrick directing
 a jury to test the sanity of Harry K.
 Thaw.
 The court of appeals today denied the
 application of Charles Becker for re-
 argument on it's decision affirming his
 sentence of death.
 Becker, accused of inspiring the mur-
 der of Herman Rosenthal, is In Sing Sing
 death house sentenced to die during the
 week of July l2 Only the governor can save him. Little hope Is expressed that the federal court will act favorably in the case or that the governor, who pros ecuted the former. police officer. will be inclined to grant him clemency. There was no written opinion in the case handed down today. Lieutenant Beckers attorney alleged In the applica- ton for reargument that Justice Seabury. who presided at the second trial, while instructing the jury. failed to present | clearly the defense's testimony, The court of appeals was unanimous in its decision, which held that Justice Hendrick did not attempt to evade re- sponsibilty in directly jury trial. but merely wished to obtain the advice of a jury The jury holds that Thaw has no mandatory right to jury trial, but that 1t was in the discretion of the trial judge to decide whether such a request should be granted

New York Youth Shoots Father, Policeman and StepmOther Before Of

Jamestown, N. Y., June is.-Fred Shaver today shot and killed his fath- CT, his stepmother and policeman and himself was killed by other po- Iicemen. The weapons used were rifles and Shaver's act is attributed to drink and n quarrel with his father. The lat ter, Hudson Shaver. e years old, and weIl-to-do, was married June : to Ruth Campbell. 37.
 The son today went to his father s apartments where. after a dispute, the older man fled to the ball There he fell dead from rife ball The sound of the shot attracted Policeman Kendall, who ran up the stairway.
 Young Shaver shot the policeman in the chest and hip, and these wounds then barricaded himself in the apart ment and the staying of his stepmother probably occurred soon after that
 Shaver frequently appeared at win dow defying policemen who had sur rounded the building Occasionally he drank from bottle of whisky. He did not thf eaten men who entered the apart ment and removed the body of his father. Finally, he threw out note addressed to a local paper, reading: "This is propo- sition that have contemplated ever since have been drinking. Take good care of the chief of police and his officials. I tried to spare my father. but he grappled with me and under the impulse of the moment, I got him, too. Good-by"
 A deputy sheriff called to him to sur render, but Shaver refused.
 Shortly afterward he threatened to fire into the crowd of spectators.
 The next time Shaver appeared in the window several policemen across the street fired and he fell back to the floor The officers broke open the door and found young Shaver dead. Near the win dow lay the body of his stepmother The officers did not know until they entered the room that Mrs. Hudson Shaver had been killed.

Russian troops along this line comprise the third and eighth armies which after their repulse in May and their retirement from the San front again were brought up to their normal strength in men and heavy endorsements of artillery.
 The dispatches say that the Russians are retiring in disorder. It is added that among the prisoners taken are many ter ritorials who asserted that they were drilled for only fortnight before they were dispatched to Galicia and received rifles only when they were assigned to the division of the reserves.
 Having defeated the Russians on the San line, the dispatches say, Field Mar shal Conrad Won Hoetzendorf Is now pounding against the crossings of the Dniester, where the heaviest fighting Is in progress. The Austro Germans, it Is as- serted are pushing the campaign visor- ously.

 Each side dwells on the losses of the other and each emphasizes it's gains, all of which have been costly, although comparatively small as measured in dis tance. It Is too early to say whether this means serious Franeo-British at tempt to break through, but 1t is patent that they are on the offensive.
 In the east the Austro-German forces are not only nearer Lembelg, Gaicia. but claim to have driven the Russians further across the frontier of Poland in the vicinity of Tarnogrod as well as penetrating further into Bessaraba. The battle for Lemberg is now raging along the fortified Gradlek line, where 1t Is pre- dicted the Russians will give a final stub
 born battle to save the capital. The British press, pending such time a s the Russians stiffen their resistance, is finding solace in the reports of the colossal human sacrifices which the I Austro- German drive through Galicia en- | failed. 1t Is claimed that the Russians, even If forced to retreat. by clever man. agement have drawn the Austro-German forces perilously far from their rail com munications, meantime SO seriously sap 1 ping their vitality with estimated losses | of io.OO0 men a day as to contribute ma- | terally to the outcome of tho western lcampaign.
