LOVES FAR REACH
BY MIRIAM JAMES.

"Crothers," the warden had said.
your boys sick-pretty bad, reckon.
There's chance, though, so keep your
spirits up, and I'll let you know as
soon as / get further word
And Jim Crothers, good-conduct man
with year more of a five-year term to
serve, heard these words echoing again
and again in his heart as he piled his
pick upon the hard road
His wife had been true to him all
through the four years that he had
served. Influential friends had prom
ised him new start in life when he
came out. Crothers had been a model
prisoner and. in conformity with the
humane system of the state, was on
parole. In everyday working clothes,
without guard to supervise him, he
labored, with the few others in his
class, breaking up the old asphalt
track that ran between the prison and
the nearest town. The men worked
well apart from each other, and Croth-
ers was hidden from his nearest neigh
Dor, two hundred yards away, by dip
in the land.
His boy-Johnny! He had not seen
him since his wife brought him, an in
FAINT in arms, to the court detention
room to bid him good-by. His first
question was always for Johnny And
the lad lay sick of typhoid fever. The
crisis had come. He must see him be-
fore he died.
1t was more than hundred miles to
Renfrew, but, by jumping freight
train, Crothers could get there by mid
night. And by the following afternoon
he could be back at the prison To
break parole was regarded as an un-
speakable offense; only two men had
done so, and they had had to bear the
scorn of their companions ever since.
But then, neither of these had had a
little dying son whom he had not seen
in four years.
Crothers raised himself and looked
across the hot plains toward the sta
ton. In his clothes he would attract
no attention. 1t would be easy to

did not know what else to do, he took
1t in his hands and began working I'M
til he saw Clancy coming along the
road.
The warden came and stood beside
him and Crothers looked him In the
face bravely.

What's wrong with you, Crothers?"
inquired the warden kindly. Touch of

Crothers stared incredulously at the
warden. Did he, then, mean to over
look the breach of faith. like those
others? 1t was impossible that he
could be SO kind.
It's good of you, Mr.. C1ancey," he
said, catching the old mans hand and
wringing it, "but | want to take my
medicine. l didn't act right to you

ers' shoulder.

The warden looked pityingly at him.

answered You must have been

And Crothers, standing dumb, with
swimming eyes, understood that love
had reached out to him across the
abyss of time and space.

COMING New Words.

Apart from the United States, where
the coming of new words and phrases
is by way of developing into recog-
nized industry, writer's in this country
are constantly adding to the language.
"Chocolatist" and ''mixologist" are the
titles lately adopted by confectioner

just invented "incepted" Another is
responsible for "rnascotry" The Eng

HONEEmENI \ F1HFND JUL
A labor victory second in impor-
lance only to the victory of the street |
car men has been gained by the
fathers.
The Employing Plasterers' assn !
signed up the White City Council of
fathers Saturday night. The point at |
issue was the Simon O'DOnneI uni
form agreement It was kicked in
the ribs and then showed into the
lake. So far as the fathers are con-
: cerned the uniform agreement is
- dead.
The Employing Lathers' assn,
aided by the Plastering Contractors |
assn and the Employing Lathers'
assn, have had union fathers locked
out since March.
They locked the fathers out be-
cause they would not sign the Simon
O'Donne1 agreement. The bosses
said they would make the fathers sign
it if they had to starve every union
lather in the city till he begged for
mercy. They thought their organiZa-.
ton was perfect-that not a union
lather would be able to get work:
But the fathers got work. It was
not long until the Employing Lathers'
assn came to their terms, which
were that the contractors should in
diViduaIly sign the agreement the
White City Council desired. This en-
abled nearly every union latheT to re-
j, turn to work.
, Then the Employing PIasterers'
limited they would like to. talk terms
and White City Council limited that
the association could go to heck. The
association had formed a scab union
made up Of imported strikebreakeTs.
The association finally agreed to sign
up with the fathers if the fathers
would accept the strikebreakers into
their ranks. This was also turned
down cold.

MORE PEOPLE OF RAILROAD COMMISSION COME
 WEST.

SEATTLE, April 1O.-R. D. Chase, chief clerk of the Alaska government railroad commission, arrived last evening in this city to take up the duties of his office in preparation for the coming seasons work. Two other employees of the commission also ar rived and the work will now gain headway. In spite of the presence of the officials here nothing new has been said with respect to the railroad and there is a very evident desire on the part of all concerned to keep silent until President Wilson speaks official ly. The remaining two members of the commission are expected to arrive soon, perhaps next week but before their arrival the full statement of in- tentions will probably be made.

AUSTRIANS IN
 VERY BAD FIX
so PETROGRAD SAYS IN DISPATCHES TO-
 DAY.

PETRoGRAD, April 1O.-The Austrians are now in very bad pre- dicament in the Carpathian mountains according to the official information given out here today. The relative positions of the contending armies are now such that the Austrians must either surrender most of their forces or they must make a disastrous re- treat. In either case the road to Hungary will be opened to the ad- vance of our armies and never did that goal seem so near to being se- cured by us. The Austrian attempt to draw large Russian forces from the Carpathians by delivering an offensive to the northeast of Bukowina has fail ed and the offensive has been decisive ly halted. In northern Poland the Germans are also at a standstill and are now apparently content with hold ing their own. The thaw has set in making an advance by the enemy to- wards Warsaw an impossibility so that the Polish capital can now be re- garded as absolutely safe from cap ture. The proceedings along the re- mainder of the eastern front are comparatively quiet.

REFUSES TO DECLARE MEXICO CITY NEUTRAL

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-Car- ranza has replied to the request by the United States that Mexico City should be declared a neutral zone and the constitutionalist chief positively refuses to comply with it. He gives no reason except that he is trying to bring back the rule of law and order and that the capital city must be at his disposal when he comes to estab- fish government for the republic. The refusal is couched in friendly words and added is a remonstrance to the United States to avoid any action that would serve as aid to those to whom he is opposed. He also seems to sug- gest that an agreement to our propsO- al would be placing him in a position where he could not profit by victory.

FEARS
 REVOLUTION
MASS MEETINGS TOMORROW TO CALL FOR
 WAR.

ROME, April 1O.-Mass meetings will be held all over Italy tomorrow urging the king to enter the war and it is feared that if the request is not granted a revolution will break out as feeling against Austria is now run hing high. Although many people in the country are opposed to war those in favor of it are putting forth such efforts to have their wishes fulfilled that the opposition seems small in comparison and the result may well be that the governments hands will be forced.
 Austria has refused point blank to meet the demands of Italy in spite of the fact that the hosts of Russia are pounding at the gates of Hungary. Many Italian public men fear that if Italy waits for the conclusion of the war she will find herself without a voice in the settlement whatever side comes out victoriaus. Should the allies succeed and the feeling here is that they will, Serbia will probably be re- warded by port on the Adriatic, while Italy will have no grounds to claim anything.

AUSTRIANS TO

QUIT ATTACK ON SERVIA AND SEND TROOPS TO
 SOUTH.

LONDON, April 1O.--The Austrians have ceased attacking the Servians and are now sending large forces to meet any attempted invasion from Italy. The Austrian fortresses near the Italian border have been strength ened and the mountain passes have been fortified. 1t is regarded by mill tary people that Austria will content itself with defending its own territory and will make no effort to invade Italy should the latter country declare war. The mountainous nature of the ter ritory between the two nations will aid the Dual Kingdom in facing an invading army but the province of Trieste is not so we'll guarded by nat ural obstacles and at that point the Italians will be most likely to strike. A sufficient force of .Austrians has been left to guard the border of Ser via to prevent invasion from that quarter.

In the meantime the menace to Constan- tiople has succeeded in drawing large forces of Turkish troops from Asia Minor to the defence of the capital and for this reason alone it must be regarded as successful even though it has not yet attained to its main ob- ject.
