The noise ceased Immediately, and
Rodney looked at her discouraged. She
motioned to him to go on. Meanwhile
Martin painfully linped to a chair by
a small table and sank into it, his foot
giving him another twinge.
Ouch! oh, my poor FOOT" he
moaned.
Rodney hastily picked up a footstool
and came with it to his father.
I'm AFRAID your foot hurts" he VEN
tured propitiatingly.
''Not at ALL just pretend that it
does" growled his father.

son sincerely.
"Well, I'm not. What's that you got
thereT'
"a footstool-I thought it might make
you more comfortable"
Comfortable? How much do you
want out of me now?" his father asked
shrewdly.
"Why nothing, father" Rodney an

"Well, anyhow the answer is. not
"Why do you say that?' Rodney qua

Rodney turned appealingly to Mary,

Father, has it ever occurred to you
that might marry?" inquired Rodney.
''Of course it has. You're fool enough
for anything" growled his father.
81 don't consider man a fool be-

'Thats because you've never tried it.
Il intend to try it, just the same"
said Rodney.
ooh, you do do you? Who is the

"The grip repeated his son nerv-
ously.

proudly.
I'll prove it is" said his father,
pushing an enameled electric bell that
stood near him on the table.
"What are you going to do?" cried
Rodney nervously.
"Send for Miss Grayson," said his IA
her grimly. "I'll tell that scheming
secretary that if you persist in this

you watch her throw you over" he

'Poppycock! You're afraid to put

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York. Sept. Especial:
While Bulgaria is mobilizing her
military forces, word comes from
Nish, the Serbian capital, that S0O,-
600 German troops, according to the
most authoritative estimates there,
are available for the forcing of a
passage through Serbia.
AS yet no general movement in
this direction has been undertaken,
although preliminary operations by
the Germans are under way. Having
crossed the Serbian territory, the
Germans would have to advance
through Bulgaria before they could
bring aid to the Turks in Gallipoli,
and at Constantinople. Bulgaria's
future attitude may depend on what
action Germany takes with respect to
Serbia, or Germany may be awaiting
the completion of the Bulgarian mo
bilization.
An official of the Bulgarian lega-
ton at London has pointed out that
both Rumania and Greece have been
modified for a considerable time and
intimates that Bulgaria has a right
to do likewise without causing as
constituent, but has offered no ex-
PLANTATION of the action of his gov
eminent at the present time. The
efforts of the entente powers, how
ever, are being directed vigorously
toward bringing about a reunion OF
all the Balkan states.
In the east the Germans have be-
gun a big offensive movement, with
it's objective the capture of the forti-
fed city of Dvinsk. which lies some
ninety miles southeast of Wilma and
is the junction point of the Vilna-Pe-
trograd railway line. The Russian
advanced positions have been pene-
trated in this region and many pris-
oners have been taken, according to
Berlin. A battle is also in progress
along the Dvina river. near Leewa-
den. thirty miles southeast of Riga.
American vessels carrying condi-
tional c~ontraband of war hereafter
under no circumstances will be sunk
by the Germans, nor will American
merchantmen carrying absolute con
traband of war be sent TO the bottom
except in cases of extreme necessity.
These promises are mad TO the
United States in a new note from
Germany concerning the sinking OF
the ship, William p. Frye.
Germany in the note accepts the
proposals of the United States, that
a commission Of experts fix an indem-
nifty for the loss of the Frye and to
submit TO The Hague the question OF
the meaning of the treaty of 1928
between the United States and Prus-
STA with regard to such cases as the
Frye.
