CHAPTER XII.

Before Bob could open the door 1t
was pushed in from the outside, and
as Katherine looked up, she looked
straight into the eyes Of Dan Slade.
For moment the room was electric
with the intensity of the situation.
Then the girl lifted her head proudly
and met SHADES eyes again. In them
he saw a light he had never seen
there before, light Of soft tender
ness and deep Joy, a look that made
his heart start as he realized what he
had lost.
Good morning, Mr.. Slade." she
said coldly as Bob led her out into
love.
AS Slade, hat in hand, stood gazing
at his wife. Mary realized that for
the first time in all their married life
she had the advantage. For once the
roles of the humble and the domi-
neering were reversed. There was a
long pause, awkward only for Slade,
for Mary was quite at ease. He
coughed several times, and then, in
a manner he thought quits appropri-
ate, asked:
What did that girl come here for
-Miss-er-"
"Oh-forgotten her name?" came
from Mary, mockingly. Miss Strick-
land came just for a visit"
well, what did she want?" Slade
demanded.
"She came to find out what meant
to do" There was q world Of irony
in Mary's tone.
What hassthat got to do with her?
I don't approve of a woman coming
into my house to find out what you
don't like it! It's bit of impu-
dence. What else did she have to
say? Did sheer"
shes not q very confidential girl. "
returned Mary, evasively.
II see. So she and Robert have
made up? Slade considered this
rather q master stroke. By continu-
ing such questions he might get at
the real state of affairs.
YES"
well, well-I'll have to do some
thing for them" Slade was pater-
nally patronizing, but he did not de.
ceive Mary.
Your business out here today must
be very urgent. What is it,"
Slade tried frantically to find a rea'
son for his visit. When he had left
town 1t was for the one reason OF
trying to bully Mary into leaving the
cottage and agreeing to a divorce
With the complexion Of matters SO
changed, he was at a complete loss
to explain his visit. He was irri
tated and annoyed. He was not used
to having the tables SO completely
| turned on him. More than that, the
little cottage never looked more In
viting. As q matter Of fact, Slade
had often found the demands of his
new life considerable of nuisance
| and as a Whit of the savory lamt
stew came to his nostrils, memoirs
of the peace and contentment of the
old life flashed through his mind
Nothing at the club had been espe
cially tasty of late. More than that

"He made a specially of snatching

the other with a deep, broad sigh.

Katherine was the woman her hus-
band was planning to marry. She
opened her mouth as if to speak,
and turned questioningly again to
Bob. But Hayes could not meet her
eyes. Suddenly Mary pointed an &C.
cusing finger at Katherine's bowed
head "She! Oh-h!" she gasped.
Katherine, unconscious of the reve-
lation that had just taken place, was
still sobbing bitterly. but with sweet
or tears than she had shed for many,
many years. The sight of the girls
misery called for all the treasures OF
love and sympathy in Mary's nature
sweetened by long years OF forgiving
and self-sacrifice.

LONDON. June 4.-The strict cen sorship makes accurate information concerning the Italian campaign difii- cult to secure though the best iufor nation available is that Italy is erowding a large army into Austria and that she is occupying strategic positions in the ryrolean Alps and other passes leading toward the Aus trians plains beoynd-
 Gen. Cadrona, Italian chief of staff, issued a statement today which says that the preliminary movements are continuing all along the frontier and that eventuaHties are developing strongly in favor of the Italian army.
 Italians have occupied strong posi- tons in the Austrian Adige river val

Russia Hopeful.

LONDON, June 4. = The Russian army still holds the forts to the south and west of Przemysl. and their DO. sitions along the San and Dneister river, and are meeting the German attacks against them with remarkable stubbornness, and effectiveness.
 The Germans have not been able to cut through the Russian lines eith- CT north or south of Przemysl, and ad- vices from Petrograd say that the Russians are making desperate and hopeful efforts to retain the unre- duced forts of Przemysl.
 While reports from Amsterdam aud Copenhagen say that Germany plans continuing their offensive movements In Galicia and Poland until they cap ture Lemberg and Warsaw, adyices from Petrograd say that the main Russian defense in Galicia has not been weakened by the defeat at Prz- emysl
 That Germany will continue to press the war in Galicia with the hope in view Of breaking the Russian pow CT for offensive operations is believed. To accomplish that will mean weeks of bloody warfare, because the Rus sian army Is not yet whipped, and the farther 1t withdraws toward the Russian boundary the stronger 1t will become.
 Germany's plan includes the renew al of offensive operations in Poland.

SHIP BILL TO BE
 URGED BY WILSON

WASHINGTON, June 4.--President Woodrow Wilson win again urge the ship purchase bin before Congress next winter unless there is greater activity on the part Of American ship ping interests to meet the demand for South American trafficn
 The President is greatly interested in South American trade. Referring to it and the difficulties that present themselves in securing 1t he says:
 "There is one thing that stands in our way among others The thing have chiefly in mind is the physical lack of means of communication, the lack of vehicles, the lack Of ships, the lack of established routes of trade and the lack Of those things which are absolutely necessary it we are to have true commercial relations with one another
 CT am perggectly clear in my judg- ment that if private capital cannot soon enter on the adventure of es- tablishing those physical means of communication, the government must undertake to do SO. We cannot in- definitely stand apart and need each other for this lack of what can be easily supplied and if one instru- mentally cannot supply 1t, then an- other must be found which will sup piv itn

RUSSIA
 CUTS ORE
 ONE ARMY

LONDON, June 4-0ffsettiug ing in part at least their re- verse at PrzemysI, the Russian forces operating in the Baltic provinces have won a notable victory, and have laid the ground work for the capture of the German army at Libau and surrounding that place, which has been entirely cut off from the German province of Memel, their base of supplies.
 4 Reuter- dispatch from Pet rograd says the Russians turn ed the right wing of the Ger man army that was at Libau, and at the same time forced their way through the German communications, capturing Po- langen on the Baltic in the pro- vince of CourtIand, and village of Rutzan, south of Libau.
 Another Russian force is now approaching Libau from the north.
 With Libau enveIOped, the Germans having an outlet only to the sea, and for a short dis tance toward the south.
 The Russian forces are mov- ing so rapidly and developments ans so fast that it is impossible to keep up with the details of the campaign.
 At Petrograd the feeling is general that the German army at Libau will be destroyed or captured. With it out of the way, one of the finest armies that Russia has in the field will be in operation in the north, with ample numbers to spread out toward the south in Poland.

LONDON QUARRELS
 OVER aCABINET CRISIS


 LONDON. June f- London news papers are still Quarrelling over the recent cabinet crisis, The Liberal par ty papers are particularly incensed over the appointment of Sir Edward Carson to place in the government. The Chronicle. commenting upon the appointment, says:
 "Sir Edward Carson's appointment seems to us wholly deplorable on three grounds says the Chronicle. In the first place 1t is grave mis- take to include one, and that the smallest of the Irish parties, in a coal ition which does not include both In the second place it is worse than a mistake to appoint as Attorney Gen. eral. that is as a Minitser responsi- ble for the maintainence of law in Britain, a man whose whole recent career has been @ career of law-break- ing, and law-breaking on grand scale.
 .In the third place Carson has shown himself the worst patriot in public life The Ulster agitation was throughout very dear to the Germans. who took extraordinary in- terest in it as source of weakness to this country Carson did not repel their interest. On the contrary, he went to Germany and accepted the Kaiser's personal hospitality, and the fact that Listers mutlny was Ger many,s opportunity never damaged his mutineering."

 FINISHES
 REI0INEDER

WASHINGTON, June 1. - President Woodow Wilson fn- ished his new note to Germany today and laid it before the Cab- inet. It will probably be dis patched to Berlin late tonight.
 White House officials say that while the note was penned by President Wilson he had con- suited a great deal with Secre- tary of State William J. Bryan concerning it. both as to the principles involved and the de- tails. It was stated, also, that he had been in consultation with Counsellor Robert Lansing, of the State Department, and At torney-General Thos. W. Greg ory, who had investigated the afidavits presented by the Ger man Ambassador that the Lusi- tania was an armed cruiser, and carried guns concealed below her decks.
 The government is absolutely convinced that there is no ground for the contention that the Lusitania was armed, and the note will so inform Ger many.
