CHAPTER XIV
Another Woman.


Gail and the boy stayed in the
South six months longer, then
went North.
Edgerton met them at the train.
The Joy of just seeing him was
enough for Gail, and Vance went
into transports of rapture.
Edgerton, meantime, had been
making a place for himself. Since
his full memory had returned old
interests and ambitions sprang up,
and he again took up his studies in
psychology To prove a theory of
his, no less than to lay the founda-
tion of a great charity, he pur-
chased a large estate near DIR.
Underwood's and filled the house
with boys from the city's worst
slums. "A training school for
character" he called it.
He gave it his entire time and
energy, even making the place his
home. And this last Gail under
stood and accepted.
June passed. and July. And she
and Vance were again at Mama
roneck.
The training school for charac-
ter had become of public interest.
The fact that George Qrcutt was

Edgerton had neither been
aware OF Mrs. Lorme's presence,
nor It's kindly removal; all his at
fention was fixed on the girlish
lace smiling 30 delightedly upon
him
"Will you walk down to the
beach?" he asked.
Her cheering laugh was wholly
carefree. Had she not seen the
revelation of his eyes? She walked
lightly beside him.
From the villa q slight natural
rise of earth ran horizontally to
the edge of the sea, ending In q
declivity with cosy back-rests along
the shore. Thither Edgerton bent
his steps. almost in silepce till
they were seated. Abruptly he be-
gan:
II am leaving tomorrow. Gail.
And for good"
There was short pause while
she gazed at him In q dazed ques-
tioning.
"Why?"
"You know why"
"But / don't. You and I"
''Oh, we love each other" said
he roughly.
"Where are-you-going2"
ITO Underwood's for few
weeks; then abroad"
"You think you'll--forget me?"

love you till time without end. But

Then: "Have you thought about

wildly.
mo; there's little hope there"
sWhere Is there-hope, Keith?"
10 sobbed.
Nowhere for us, DEAR" said he
gently.
She shook the tears from her
lashes and looked at him in a Won
6ering way. Deliberately he was
nolng to leave her-and with no
hope of their reunion! How could
be IT,
s'Do you-love me?"
Edgerton turned bloodshot eyes
npon her.
Love you! Love you! Am I not
leaving you?"
His voice was harsh, the harsh
ness of q man in dire pain. He
caught her by the shoulders.

me have my own name and go
away where I shan't be on this
dangerous footing with you. For

your own sake! For the boys
before we all go under together"
She gazed at him In stupor of
pain. And she saw but one thing
the utter baroness of the future
without him.
To give Keith Edgerton his
name did not mean to her now
the reopening OF the Orcutt-Em-
met murder case, nor branding
Vance with his fathers guilt. 1t
meant that Keith Edgerton would
go out of her life.
II can't do it," she uttered in a
tone of deadly calm. "You are
mine and Vance's. l shall not give
you up-ever. Ii you
should 60"
II am going" said he. II shall
remain George circuit till you re-
lease me. l shall never ask you

go early in the morning.
This Is our goodbye"
He looked at her steadily, his
face wet with unashamed tears.
mol" he caught her outstretch-
ed hands and put them from him.
I"I haven't the strength to kiss
you" He rose. "Wait here; I'll
send Vance to YOU"
She watched him walk up the
path. Her eyes held frozen
look. He had had the strength
not to kiss her.

She stood up and looked at him.

hand.
I'm not a patient person. l was
sick in bed for the first four
months, or l should have come on
then and searched for Keith my
self. It's only within the past
month that I've been able to
travel" Her other hand covered
his. Wont You tell me something
more than this?" she pleaded.
'In two days." was the answer.
There was finality in his tone,
but his voice was very friendly. He
went outside and put her into the
waiting taxicab.
The smile left his face as he re-
turned to the study.
Gail was gone.

CHAPTER XIV.
After Many Days.

"You telephoned for me to
come to Mamaroneck at once to
see you-which means that you
have something unusual to tell
me. And you don't tell it,"
In Edgerton's manner was re-
strained excitement. He had been
looking rather tired of late; and
today his excessive buoyancy was
in marked contrast to his recent
depression.
Gail was blind to his inward
commotion.
Lets go to the summer
house." she said in answer.
But once there she still re-
NAMED silent. He sat down in a

 ABDUCTION, HE HAS CERTIFICATE
Detectives Find Proof Leon ard Married, After
 Elopement

Discovery this morning of a mar riage certificate in the rooms occupied by Royal Leonard, 22 years old, at 80 Huntington road, cleared up the mys- tery of the supposed abduction of 16- year-oId Lovel1a May Curtis of Shef- field, Mass. The certificate was found by Detective James Doo1ey and as they are now married, the charge against Leonard will probably not be pressed when his case is called in the city court tomorrow. His case was continued this morning under bonds of S1, 600 which he was unable to fur nish.
 On May 30, Miss Curtis disappeared from her home in Sheffield and her parents at once surmised that she had gone away with Leonard, a native of Ashby, Mass, who had been employed in the Remington Arms plant in this city for some time. The two had been sweethearts in the neighborings towns and when Leonard came to Bridge port he became lonely and decided to ask Love1la to elope.
 Her parents had opposed Leonard'a attentions to the daughter so the e1opement was the only way that Leonard could win the girl. Upon Coming to this city they went to the home of the Rev James SceviI1, a Baptist minister living at the Hunt ington road address, and had the cer- emony performed. Leonard had been roonning with Rev. MT. ScovilI, so that after he had tied the knot, they made their home there.
 Yesterday Miss Curtfs's father and brother came to this city and caused Leonard to be arrested at the Arms company. When Detective Doo1ey took him to headquarters he refused to give his address or state where the girl could be found. |
 
 found where they lived and investi- gated he was informed by the minis ter's wife that Leonard and his wife appeared to be very happy. When the. marriage certificate was found, the father decided not to press the charge against Leonard as he had married the girl and he did not wish to make the situation more uncomfortable.

.LASHAR'S PLANT
 IN PENNSYL WANNA TO BE IMPROVED

Announcement made today discloses that the Pardy Construction Co. of this city has obtained contracts for the erection of a large addition to the American Chain Co.,, plants at York, Pa-
 The fact that these buildings were not erected in this city is said not to reflect detrirnenta1ly upon Bridgeport where is located the American Chain Co.,, of which Walter B. Lashar is a director, although they would prob ably have been built here but for the scarcity of housing.
 The. principal reason for the York building, it is said today in the ab- sence of MT. Lashar from this city, is 8 subsidiary of the American Chain Go. makes a different product from that turned out here.
 An additional feature is that the plant here has found such difficulty in getting housing accommo modations fo rits own workmen that plans have been considered by MT. Lashar to erect about 50 houses at his company's ex- pense and resell them upon convent ent terms to workers in his plant. What final steps have been taken in this respect cannot be learned until MT. Lashar's return to Bridgeport.
 The factories, which will be begun at once in York by the -Pardy Cen struction Co.,, which was awarded the contracts last week, will consist of two five story brick buildings, 800 feet long and two buildings 150 feet long, six stories in height. They will ac- commodate about 2,0O0 hands.

Yuan Shi Kai died while the storms of revolution were gathering in i'm creasing strength. The revolt broke out in December, 1915, when the President announced his intention of establishing a monarchy and ascend ing the throne as the first emperor of a new dynasty.
 His coronation was set for early in February of this year, but was post poned indefinitely owing to the revolt in southern China. Several attempts were made upon the Presidents life and a bomb plot was discovered in the imperial palace.
 The establishing of a monarchy was strenuous1y opposed by Japan and the final aband onment of the plan was largely credited to the representations made by Tokio. The revolt progress ed however. and in March the gover-

KlTCHENER'S VOL LUNTEER
 ARMY, BIGGEST IN WORLD,
 HIS GROWING ENDEAvOR

Earl Kitchener was appointed sec- retary of state for war on August 5, 1914, a few days after Great Britain's s declaration of war on Germany. He was regarded as EngIand's greatest soldier and the decision of the gov ernment to entrust him with supreme direction of the war was received with unanimous approval.
 As the war progressed and Great Britain's deficiencies in certain direc- tions, particularly in regard to short age of artillery, ammunition, became apparent, Earl Kitchener was sub- jected to severe criticism, led by Lord Northclffe. The secretary was charged with responsibility for failure to >fore- see the extraordinary demand for heavy shells and as result the min istry of munitions was formed, with David Lloyd George at it's head.

FRENCH REPULSE GERMAN ATTACKS
 AGAINST vERDUN

Paris, June 6-Two attacks by the Germans on the French lines at Forts Vaux and Damloup on the Verdun front, were repulsed by the French last night, according to an official statement issued by the war office to- day. The heavy bombardment of Fort Vaux continues with internft~ tent cannonading on the West front.
 Fort Vaux, one of the northeastern defenses of Verdun, continues to be the center of German efforts, but the French still hold the main fort and all approaches except the northern moat, in which the Germans gained lodgene ent several days ago.
 The Germans are now directing their efforts toward bringing up masses of endorsements through the ravines between Vaux and Danloup for the purpose of gradually wearing down the resistance of the French Two infantry attacks were made yes- terday but they lacked the intensity of the previous rushes. The conclusion is drawn by French commentators that the heavy recent losses of the Germans are compelling them to pro ceed less vigorously for the moment while they are reforming their scat tered and decimated units.
 Berlin, June 6-F'rench troops on the right bank of the river Mouse in the Verdun section last night made four determined efforts to eject the Germans from positions on F'umin ridge says the official statement is sued today at German army head quarters All the attempts were re- pulsed by the East Prussian regi- ments with especially heavy losses, the statement adds, to the attack

SzABO DEAD.
 AUTO DRIVER
 IS UNKNOWN

Struck by an automobile May 31 while engaged in carrying pipe across the Street near the Weatogue Country club in Stratford, Frederick Szabo, of 69 Commercial street, received a frac- tured skull and died at the Bridgeport hospital last night. Mystery surrounds the identity of the autoist whose car struck him.
 Though the accident occurred nearly a week ago, Szabo was not taken to the hospital until two days ago. Because of the delay in receiv- ing proper attention, death resulted
 Szabo was one of the workmen en- gagged in the renovation of the club house. When struck, he picked him self up from the road and is under stood to have given no thought to the fact that he might be seriously injur- ed. He was taken to the hospital when pains in the head developed.
