words to Mollie after she had told me
what had happened over, at Mr.. Hat

LAS soon as Chadwick is able we
are going to put his yacht into COM

answered calmly.
1 jumped up and grasped her
shoulder. ''What-what did you
say?"
I'VE are going on long cruise as
soon as Chadwick is able"
''Mollie are you mad, dear?"

but l can see no reason why Chad

sins of that terrible woman who is
down in that insane asylum. a crea-
ture who would not know him if she
saw him.

ooh, you must not do it dear, you
must not do it,
why not? We love each other
and will always love each other. 1t
will be no sacrifice for me to do this
for my lover who has only me in all
the world. Besides other women have
done this. George Elliot did it.
George Henry Lewis wife was in the
insane asylum when she went to live
with him.
Il expect every girl who has read
of George Elliot and who has or
thinks she has fallen in love with a
married man and been tempted to fly
with him has solved her conscience
by citing as an excuse for her action,
George Elliot, which shows that the
old adage: Actions speak louder
than words is true.

Hatton will allow you to do this thing.
1t will kill your mother and estrange
you from all your friends"
will you cut me off, Margie?"
asked Mollie suddenly.
mo, dear wouldn't cut you off no
matter what you might do, but for
your own sake, dear, for your hap
piness in the years to come l want
you to renounce this mad project"
Don't you think our love will
last?"
my dear Mollie, passionate love
never lasts and that is the only love
that makes one defy the law as well
as public opinion
do you mean to tell me, Margie,
that the love you have for Dick is
different from that you had when you
married him?"
Eyes, dear When married him
felt as you do, that all l would need :
to be perfectly happy would be to be
with him"
''To belong to him." interrupted
Mollie. l smiled to myself although
my heart was aching with the knowl-
edge that used the same words to
you, little book, the night before
was married.
THAT feeling of exhaltation does
not, cannot last, my dear MoIlie. Life
is greater than love. Whatever the
poets and idealists may say love must
take it's place with the other things
which go to make up the sum of
human existence
'The greatest lovers in the world

Rome, June 26.-The official state- nent issued tonight at the headquar- ters of the Italian general staff was as follows,
 .sourf freconnaissances, extended be- yond the front in the Tyro1-Trentino region, in Galore and CarnioIa, indi- cate increased activity on the part of the enemy in the work of reinforcing and placing new batteries. We are frustrating this work by the efncacious fire of our artillery and the bold op- erations of small detachments.
 '4In CarnioIa on the night of June 24 and 25 the enemy vain1y renewed his attacks against our line from Val grande to VaIpicoIe.
 ttOur operations along the Isonzo are developing methodica11y in spite of the manifold natural difficulties of the ground and the many artificial ob- stac1es skilfu1ly accumulated for a long period and placed by the enemy. Our infantry, supported by the fire of field and heavy batteries, advances brave1y and tenaciously, however.
 ttAn Austrian battery which for some days has been disturbing our troops by it's fire, causing especially serious damage to villages, with ir- juriess to their inhabitants, was locat- ed to-day and became the object of a well directed fire from our artillery. Immediately afterwards a large white flag with a red cross was hoisted from a villa near the location of the bat tery, with the evident purpose of de- ceiving us and stopping our f1re.''
