CHAPTER xxviii-continued.


Later, when the others had left
them to themselves in the music
room, Sabron sat in big chair by the
open window and Julia Redmond
played to him. The day was warm.
ihere was smell of spring flowers
IN the air and the vases were filled
with CIRCLES and sweet peas. But
Sabron smelled only the violets in
Jullas girdle. Her hands gently wan
aered over the keys, finding the tune
tnat Sabron longed to hear. She
played the air through. and 1t seemed
as though she were about to sing the
hrst verse. She could not do so, nor
could she speak.
Sabron rose and came over to
where she sat.

piano and he took it, leaning forward,
his hands clasped about his knees.
1t had been the lifelong dream of this
slmple-hearted officer that one day he
would speak out his soul to the wom-
an ne loved. The time had come.
She sat before him in her unpreten-
tious dress. He was not worldly
enough to know it cost great price,
nor to appreciate that she wore no
jewels-nothing except the flowers he
mad sent. Her dark hair was clus-
tered about her ears and her beauti-
fui eyes lost their fire in tenderness.

look upon the world to which I have
returned, see nothing but a woman
and her love. II cannot win her for
my wife, If I cannot have her love-"
He made an expressive gesture which
more tmpressively than words implied
now completely he laid down every
thing else to her love and his.
He said. not without a certain dig
nifty: Il am quite poor: l have only
my soldiers pay. In Normandy I own
a little property. 1t is upon a hill
and looks over the sea, with apple
orchards and wheat fields. There is q
house. These are my landed estates.
My manhood and my love are my for

me back from Africa"
The American girl listened to him
with profound emotion. She discov-
cred every second how we'll she un-
derstood him, and he had much to
say, because 1t was the first time he
had ever spoken to her Of his love.
She had put out both her hands and,
looking at him fully. said simply:

DEcREAsEIN CRIME.

Five months under prohibition law
have now elapsed and the results are
beginning to be very apparent" says
the deputy sheriff of Jefferson coun-
ty, Alabama. "The decrease in crime
in Jefferson county is clearly indicat-
ed by the jail records, which show q
total number of state prisoners now
in Jail of 16O, against 336 December
I, 1914, one year ago today, and this
in the face Of the fact that no straw
bonds are being taken, and that ev-
cry care Is taken to ascertain the alb
solute sufficiency Of every bond ap-
proved"
The state pays thirty cents a day
for feeding each prisoner in the JEFF
ferson county Jail. therefore this de-
crease of 176 inmates means a saving
of $3.50 per day, Of 1854 per month,
and Of $19,008 per year.

of employment In Moorhead by the
closing of its saloons, says:
"The election put out of the liquor
trade probably three hundred men, in

were welded to the business of course
had to seek employment elsewhere,
but many of them elected to stay and
go into other lines of work. And for
such there has been abundance of
work at a good wage. There has been

], San Luis Obisco, Cal, May Ill., Messages from the sea by wireless today brought no tidings of the crew of the steamship Roanoke, which went down Tue sday in gale off the California coast with a possible loss of.45 or 50 lives.

ENGLAND ACCEPTS
 POLISH AID PLAN

London, May 1.-The British gov. ernment has just announced its ac. ceptance of the plan submitted by Walter Hines Page, American ambas- sador, last February, for feeding the civilian population of Poland by an American commission.
 The acceptance carries, however certain rather difficult. stipulations for the central powers. namely, that the relief must be applied as we'll to that portion of Poland in Austrian oc- cupation, and not confined to that part occupied by Germany. It is stipulated that the food is to be ship ped from the United States in Ger man ships. under neutral flag. and that Germany and Austria must agree to care properly for the populations of Servia, Albania and Montenegro.
 The foreign office expresses the hope that the central powers will promptly accept the conditions. 50 as hasten the beginning of the work.

London, May 1.-The most danger ous factor in the Irish situation namely, that the punishment of the rebels would cause a reaction o1 sympathy among the warm-hearted and emotional people, appears to be fast materializing.
 John Dillon, one of the most re- spected of the Nationalists, but often cne of the bitterest antagonists of British rule, attacked the government in the house of commons in a speech which, for bitterness, has not been surpassed at Westminster since Par nell's days.
 Premier Asquith has personally stepped into the breach and is taking the unprecedented course of journey ing to Dublin to investigate and doubtless give instructions to General Maxwell regarding the policy which the military government must pursue now that the civil administrator, Lord Wimbourne, Augustin Birrell and Sir Matthew Nathan, have retired from office. The premier left tonight by the Irish Mail train on his way to Dublin.
 Mir. Asquith once before took the reins in his own hands at crisis by assuming the secretaryship of war when the threatened Ulster revolt in 1914 caused the resignation of Colonel Seely.
 He announced that he was going to consult with the authorities in order to arrive at some arrangement satis- factory to Irishmen of all parties. He frankly declared that the present sit- uation could not continue.
 The Marquis of Lansdowne inti- mated to the house of lords that the disarmament of all Ireland will be necessary.
 The house of commons negatived, without division, Dillon's motion de- manding that the government should immediately declare it's intention. |
 The house of lords adopted, with out division, Lord Lorebourn's motion, dissatisfaction with the governments management of Ire and.

 AMERICAN NOTE
German Chancellor w as Disposed to Tell America
 to Mind Own Business"

London, May 11.-What purports tc
 be a summary of the speech of Dr. Bethmann-Holweg, the German im- perial chancellor. at the secret sitting of the general committee of the reich stag on May 5th, concerning Ger many"s reply to the American note, is published by the Wireless Press under Berne date. The Wireless Press states the following remarks by the chancellor may be accepted as unquestionably authentic:
 "I have said before that we must drop all sentimentality. I repeat that with regard to our dispute with America our self respect was wound ed by the aggressive wording of the American note to Germany. Our feel ings urge us to repel this interfer- ence with our legitimate methods of warfare, and tell America to mind her own business: that considerations of policy compel us to subordinate the patriotic zeal to patriotic reason. We must be guided, however, not by our feelings. but by the coolest judg- ment. We have one aim and one duty, namely, to win the war. There fore, any policy which endangers our victory must be avoided. The over whelming majority of expert opinion regards a rupture of relations with America as grave peril"
