CHAPTER X.

During tho search for work Tommy
where he had lived for so long In
such luxury TO get together a few Of
his personal belongings. But no more
than could be carried in couple
OF suItcases. From this visit he
brought away clothes he required, n
picture Of his mother, and one. much
faded. OF the little Amosbury girl.
His evening clothes, his black pearl
stud, his tennis and polo cups, every
thing indeed of real value that be-
longcd TO him he left behind 1t was
his intention TO enter the ranks OF
labor. on an equality with the other
laborcrs. and by dint of sheer de-
termination 10 work his way up until
he should be in n position to support
the girl OF his choice.
Stlll, when he had refused the old
buffers offer of the savings Of half
lifetime, and heard the doors of
the solid old mansion close behind
him for perhaps the last time, a lump
rose in Tommy's throat, and he went
down the steps slowly on feet which
already seemed TO .have lost their
buoyancy.
A suitcase IN each hand, he was
turning toward the East side when
he was accosted familiarly though re
spcctiully enough by youngish man
In brand new and very ill-nttlng
suit Of blue serge.
Are you Mr. Barclay?" asked this

As he spoke Mary Blackstone drove
up in an open car and called to him.
Tommy sprang forward with courteous
alacrity. And Carson murmured, THE
hell he's been disinherited.
Mary leaned from the car and spoke
in low, thrilling voice, only audible
to Tommy:
Tommy, dear" she said I'm so
'wretched. We've made such mess
OF things, Can't we begin all over
again?"
Tommy answered with great gentle
ness: I'VE can't begin all over again. -
he said; things can never be as they
were. But we can be friends. Mary"
She shook her head and the corners
of her mouth turned bitterly down.

Tommy held out his hand, but she
turned from 1t, as If in scorn, and the
motor slipped quietly forward.

been disinherited. And he's just told
her. And she's given him the mitten." "
Well, many a leader of capital would
have come no nearer the truth. For TO
the casual eye Tommy instead of Mary

PARLIAMENT CONFIRMS
COALITION MINISTRY,
Sir John M. Simon Sienced Mutter-
inqs in the Lower House.

London, June 8, 7l5 p. m.-Both
houses of parliament met today for
the first time since the formation of
the ne Wcoalition ministry. The new
members of the cabinet, however, were
unable to take their places on the
ministerial benches in the house of
made them ineligible to sit until they
were reelected by their various con-
Stituencies.
This situation, however, was speedi-
ly remedied, for the house of commons
passed in all its stages a bill remov-
ing this disability for the period of
the war. The house of lords passed
the first reading of the same bill and
will take up it's further stages to-
morrow.
This situation, however, was speedi-
ly remedied for the house of commons

There were some mutterings in the
SoWeG house against the bill being
rushed through tone sitting, thus pre-
venting a general discussion of Pre-
mier Asquith's declaration calling up
on the opposition to assist him in
carrying on the war. This was silenc-
ed by Sir John NJ. Simon, the secretary
of state for home affairs, who led the
house in the absence of the premier,
promising to grant a day for the dis
cussion of political changes.

PETROGRAD ACCOUNT OF
CAPITULATION OF PRzEMYSL
Declares Austrians Left 1t in a Condi-
tion Incapable of Defending.

Petrograd, June 8, via London, June
4, 1927 a. m.-The communication is
sued by the war office tonight says:
THE battle in Galicia continued
June 1st wit hthe same desperation on
the whole front from the Vistula to the
region of NadWorna. On the left bank
of the lower San our troops, after a
powerful advance on the I'd of May,
finally pierced the enemy's line and
captured an important position which
the~enemy had fortified in the region
of Roudnik. where we took about 1000
machine guns.
Our offensive on the whole front as
far as the mouth of the WisIoka con-
tinues to develop successfully.
'As Przemysl, in view of the state
of it's artillery andits works, which
were destroyed by the Austrians be-
fore their Capitulation, was recognized
as incapable of defending itself, its
maintenance in our hands only served
our purpose until such time as our
possession of positions surrounding the
town on the northwest facilitated our
operations on the San.
The enemy having captured Jaro-
slau and Radymno and begun to
spread along the right bank of the
river, the maintenance of these posi-
tions forced our troops to fight on an
unequal and very difficult front, in
creasing it by 35 versts (about "a
miles) and subjecting the troops oc-
cupying these positions to the concen-
trated fire sf the enemys numerous
guns"

IMPORTANT EVIDENCE IN
BARKHAMSTED MURDER CASE
Incriminating Telephone Conversation
Between Pfaeffln and Williams

Litchf1eld, Conn, June 3.-What the
state considers as important evidence,
was given in the superior court late
today by William Lowerre of Cole
brook, against Isaac n. Williams of
keepsie n. Y, who are on trial for the
murder of County Commissioner H. B.
Case at Barkhamsted last December.
Lowerre said his telephine was on the
same line as the telephone in the
Brickelmaier place, where Arthur
Pfaeff1in wa semployed as caretak-
er. The latter, who is still held on
the coroner's order in connection with
the murder is expected to be one of
the important witnesses for the state
later in the trial.
According to Lowerre's testimony,
he overheard telephone conversations
to Pfaefflin from Williams on various
occasions. On December "a he assert
ed that Williams telephOned from
Bridgeport under the name of Harry
Watson. by which he was known in
Winsted Williams said he was COM
ing up to see Pfaefflin but the latter
adviser him not to as the police were
looking for him. The conversation
according to the witness, then was
carried on as follows:
I'm coming up anyway-they won't
know me Was it because of the
Barkhansted matter?"
Yes"
Have they heard anything from the
gun?"

Brief, But Pointed,I
Note TO Germany
HAS BEEN DRAFTED BY PRESI-
DENT WILSON,.
BEFORE CABINET TO-DAY
CoincidentaIIy Count Won Bernstorff is
to Send Personal Emissary to Tell
the True State of Feeling In the
United States Toward Germany.

Washington, June 3.-President Will
son today drafted a note, brief and
pointed to be sent to Germany con-
tanning questions whether the inperi-
al German government is to be guided
in the future by the humane principles
embodied in international law for the
conduct of maritime warfare 1t will
be submitted TO the cabinet tomorrow
and dispatched before the week end.
Bernstorff to Send Emissary.
CoincidentlIy there will start for
BerliI/a personal enissary of Count
Won Bernstorff, the German anbassa-
ador to lay before Emperor William
and high officials of the German gov
ernment the substance of what the
ambassador learned from President
Wilson in his talk yesterday, the
true state of public opinion in the
United States toward the German
government and the American point of
view on submarine warfare.
The ambassador in his interview with
the president it became known today,
said he would send within a day or
two man of judgment and breadth to
outline the situation to the German
government
Enjoys Passage Arranged For.
The president made arrangements
at Count Bernstorff's request for the
safe conduct of the envoy. His name
is not known generally, but foreign
governments already have given as
surance to the United States that he
will not be molested.
The ambassador is understood to have
explained that he had difficulty on ac-
count of the cable censorship making
his government realize the feeling in
the United States and that erroneous
reports had reached Germany. PreSi-
dent Wilson's emphasis yesterday on
the fact that the United States would
omit no word or act to secure an ac-
quiescence in its position in the LUST
tania case was described by the am
bassador in a memorandum which he
has transmitted to his government.
Count Won Bernstorff saw Secretary
Bryan for a few minutes today and is
understood to have given him this
memorandum to be delivered through
Ambassador Gerad to the German
foreign Office. At the state department
the ambassador also learned that ar
rangements had been made for the
safe conduct of his spokesman.
The despatch of the ambassador S
representative will not affect the send
ing of the American governments re-
joiner to the last German note though
it may delay Germans reply.
To Describe Situation Accurately.
The transmission of a cabled report
on a conference such as occurred yes
terday through the courtesy of a
foreign government often makes it diff
ficult it is pointed out in diplomatic
quarters for the recipient nation to
give full weight to the language of
the writer of the communication, on
the assumption that he does not speak
as freely and frankly as might be
| the case if the message were not read
| by the officials of another government.
Ambassador Bernstorff's idea is to sup
| plement the cabled report with the
personal words sent through an ennis
sary capable of describing the situa-
| ton accurately.

Coincidental with the fall of Pre-
of the great Galician fortress by the
Teutonic allies-the new British min
lister of munitions, David Lloyd George.
has begun his campaign for a vastly
greater supply of war material for
the British, French and Belgian SOL
diers in the western war zone.
Mr.. Lloyd George admitted that the
Russians had suffered a severe setback
and attributed the German triumph to
the superior equipment of the German
soldiers, an overwhelming superiority
of shot and shell and all things neces-
sary for carrying on successful cam
paign.
The re-taking of Przemysl, which
is the result of a full months des-
perate fighting over many miles of
difficult country, is considered on all
sides as one of the great achievements
of the war. If full credence is to be
placed in the official statements issued
of the campaign in the Galician region
from day to day. the casualties lists,
including killed, wounded and pris-
oners, must run into the hundreds of
thousands.
Some of the biggest of the Austrian
and German guns were utilized in the
reduction of the fortress, from which
some reports have it, large numbers
of the Russian garrison were with
drawn.
Lemberg, to the east. is likely to be
the Austro Germans next objective.
A spectacular incident of the war is
to be found in a daring early morning
raid by French aeroplanes over the
headquarters of the German crown
prince. Twenty nine of these air
craft, the French war office states
dropped 17S shells and several thou
sand darts on this well-guarded and
unnamed section of France or Bel
gium and many of the shells are said
to have been effective.
That the Germans were on the
alert to protect Prince Frederick Will
liam is apparent by the fact that the
aeroplanes were subjected to heavy
gunfire All of them, however, return
ed safely to their base

ranging for a train to carry $50
