PROLOGUE,

The action of the story has its real
beginning on an ocean liner bound for
Europe and Just leaving New York. 1t
day by Oyerton Brill, q wealthy young
bachelor, who, attracted by a pretty
girl accompanied by an elderly gentle
man, has followed them aboard. Brill
was on his way uptown with Arlstldes
Stebbins, his valet, known as Jay,
when he saw the girl, just after pur-
chasing Il valuable bracelet as a gift
for a Miss Carstairs. The passenger
list reveals the anne of the pursued
as Mr.. Andrew Jennison and daughter.
Brill finds himself without money and
negotiates with a dark individual
named Benedict for the sale of the
bracelet, receiving $500 for it, with
which he secures a de luxe cabin. At
dinner the conversation turns to the
weather, and a Professor Penny
thorpe's storm prediction is placed be-
fore Captain HUMPHREYS for Judgment.
Brill makes the acquaintance of Mr..
Jennison. and the two proceed to the
captains cabin to inspect a phenom-
email, wonderfully trained canary. At
luncheon a jovial person, christopher
C.. Marsh, introduces himself to Brill.
Starting from Il sound sleep Brill hears
through the window Benedict, the pro
fessor and ~.JcnniSon discussing the
large shipment of gold aboard. Soon
after this he is rewarded by a smile
from Marion Jennison for a small
courtesy. lcebcrgs and fog are report

Hearing Il noise in Il supposedly unoc-
cupied stateroom, they investigate with
the captain. but find nothing. The al
tered course of the vessel ~frigltens the
passengers, who protest. Brill and
Marsh look to Jay to assist in a secret
search of the mysterious stateroom.
A wireless reports that Russia has Gle

Marsh suspects Benedict of having
manufactured the message. Professor

glass watches Il strange craft approach

becomes Jealous of Henedict's atten

LONDON, Oct. S-The advance guard of the Teutons who crossed the Danube at Belgrade has been partly destroyed and partly captured. Those who entered Serbian territory across the Save met with enormous losses according to an official dispatch from the SerbianS
 The efforts of the Teutons to force their way through Serbia and reach the near esatern seas to join hands with their Turkish allies has produced one of the most interesting situations of the war. The Teuton troops have already gained a footing in Serbian territory. They do not yet touch the main Serbian army. which is en- trenched in the mountains just be- yond the rivers. The entente force which landed at Saloniki is making its way northward to assist the Serbians in protecting Macedonia from the threatened Bulgarian inva- sion. The landing of British and French troops is proceeding despite the change of the Greek government The entente ministers at Athens has asked Greece for a definite policy on the Balkans situation. The new pre- mier, Zaimis, answered that he was unable to do this until a meeting of the cabinet There is evidence that the Greeks will maintain a policy of benevolent neutrality toward the al lies. The allied fleets off the Bull garian ports in the Aegan and Black seas view the possibility of a Russian landing on the Black sea coast in It is stated that a Turkish army is being sent there that the BulgarS will not be called upon to fight their old friends and protectors. l The renewed Offensive of the allies in the west has not materialized. A somewhat similar situation has de l veloped among the Russians. The | Germans several times showed signs ! of developing a big attack against Dvinsk Beyond making few yard gains they made no progress. The | German mercantile marine in the | Baltic is feeling the effect of the warfare. Virtually all Ger man shipping in that quarter has been held up by British and Russian submarines.

 Before Christy could preface his plea with a description of the conditions surrounding business in Clifton. his excellehcy expressed his want of faith in Mir Christy as a mediator, and his belief that he was a citizen either of Arizona or of the United States.
 Cnwillingly, the Greenlee man dis cussed the situation with friends after the near-interview with the chief eX- ecutive. He reiterated his belief that 2 false move will precipitate unutter- able suffering. The business phase of the strike. rather than it's labor aspect was stressed by the representative He said:

 President Movers plan to proceed to Jerome has apparently been postponed at least until tomorrow night. Some doubt was expressed yesterday that the federation intends to get completely out of the controversy between the miners and operators, and Mover was credited with saying that such was the case. This has not been substantiated. however
 De Lara, who is a young Mexican of surprising personality, said last night that ia all his experience in strikes, and iE all he had heard of strikes, there had never been one approaching this one for peacefulness. He said the strain on the miners, who may well be expected to fear actual want, if not starvation, is intense, and that in the face of this fear, their behavior had been amazingly mild
