said at last in an incredulous tone,
that my father has actually given you

DO you mean," the girl retorted,
mimicking his manner, that your
father has actually consented to en-
ploy you?" Then she laughed nerv-
ously.
Tell me all about it. Agnes" Philip
demanded, motioning her TO sit down
and drawing his chair close to hers.
Agnes related the events of the past
two days at length, and Philip listened
Lntently.
That's all there is to it," she con
cluded.
"I see," the boy mused. How do
you like my father?" he added, abrupt
ly?
HE has been very pleasant to me-
his companion replied. "Of course

AS she spoke, recalling her eXper-
lence of the morning, she was sudden
ly aware that, after all, the eXclama-
ton of admiration which she had over
heard upon her entrance TO the inneI
pffice had been uttered by Mr.. Balm
bridge.
Her feminine intuition convinced
her of this, now that she had time
TO look back dispassionately upon the
occurrence. Yet this afternoon she
had told herself that she must have
been mistaken in jumping to this con-
clusion.
"Bainbridge?" Philip repeated
quickly. "Why what is the matter
with him? He's always seemed to me
to be a fat, jolly sort of a soul"

Agnes rejoined. But you might not
admire him, even if he had those
qualities"
Phil Is Astonished
Her blunt speech and rueful tone
made the lad laugh. For the love
of goodness, what has my fathers
partner done TO you?" he queried.
He has not done anything" she
assured him. "He has never spoken to
me yet. just don't care for his looks
or for the way he looks at people"

AUSTRIANS VICTORIOUS
Vienna Reports Naval Engagement on August and Claims Italian War ships Were Forced to Retreat.

Berlin, Aug. 8, (By wireless to Say ville).-An engagement between Aus trian and Italian warships occurred on Aug. 2, following a raid on the Italian coast by Austrian torpedo boats. An official statement issued at Vienna says that Italian warships were struck, and that the fotilla re- treated. The Austrian vessels were not harmed.
 On the same day the Austrian tor pedo gunboat Magnet was struck by a. hostile submarine and damaged in the stern. Two men were killed and four wounded, and seven are missing. The announcement fo1lows:
 "Austro- Hungarian torpedo boats on August 2 shelled military establish ments at Wolfetto. They destroyed an aeroplane shed, set a factory on fire and inflicted other damage.
 "On their return these vessels, which were joined by the cruiser As perm, developed an engagement with an Italian fotilla of one cruiser and six destroyers. The Italians were hit and, turning southward, disappeared. The Austro-Hung garian vessels re- turned unharmed.
 "On the morning of the same day i've nOSLllo dorOplaneS pom DdrdeO Durazzo without in1icting any dam age. They were pursued by Austro- Hungarian naval planes. One hostile Reroplane was brought down some miles south of Durazzo by an Austro- Hungarian plane whose pilot was Naval Ensign Won Fritsch and whose observer was Naval Ensign Severn The aeroplane was captured, having been damaged only slightly. Both the occupants fled. One was arrested later
 ''The torpedo gunboat Magnet on Aug. was hit by a torpedo from a hostile submarine and damaged in the stern. Two men were killed and four wounded, and seven are missing. The vessel was brought to port"

Protestant and Catholic services are conducted on the station.
 When the six months course of in- struction at the training station has been satisfa ctorily completed, the re- cruit is granted ten days leave of absence to visit his home prior to be- ing assigned to a cruising vessel. and the money which has been saved from his pay while undergoing instructions is sufficient to bear the travelling and other expense incident to the trip.
 Upon return from his leave, the young man is ready for his early transfer to a warship.
 American Spirit Still Lives.
 Statistics compiled at the local navy recruiting station in the federal building, show that patriotism, love of country and willingness of the Amer ican citizen to fight for, and If nec- essary sacrifice their all in just war for the United States have not waned since the first declaration that this country lis and of right ought to be free and Independent" That the "antipreparedness, ''antimilitary," and "antieverything" peace-at-any- price propaganda is not being taken seriously by the thinking American public is evidenced by the fact that about 92,00O United States citizens an- nually apply for enlistment in the United States navy.
 It might be of interest to know that only about 16, ,00O of the 92,- 900 applicants are accepted. In time of war, however, or threatened war, the number of acceptances would he much larger in view of the large num- Der of rejections for minor defects, such as flat feet, defective teeth, slight curvature of the spine, or slight ly defectly color perception. A large number of physically qualified Amer jeans are rejected for enlistment an- nually on account of their inability to furnish a birth certificate showing the date and place of birth and proving citizenship.
 The policy of the local naval re- cruiting station is not to take any minor into the naval service, even though more than IS years old, if there is parental objection.

San Antonio, Texas.-Gen. Funston sent to the War Department at Wash. ington a telegram announcing his in. tention to rid the various guardsmeu camps of newspaper correspondents who send out false accounts of cendi. tions in the camps.
 He referred to such correspondents as pests" and said he had endured them as long as he purposed to.
 An order has been sent to all dis. trict commanders along the border covering future action against news paper men sending out dispatches which may be classed as untruthnDl. In each instance the offender will be tried by a special court of militia officers from his state If found guilty he will be ordered from the camp.
 "The great mass of the guardsmeu are standing the hardships of camp life we'll" said Gen. Funston, and have no cause for complaint It is on- ly mollycoddles and sissies who kick. These are the ones that tell tales to special correspondents"
 The generals telegram, which was sent to the adjutant-general, said:
 "I wish to call attention of the War Department to the carnival Of lying being indulged in by many of the cor respondents who accompanied the state troops to the border. I have never seen or heard of anything that approaches 1t for sheer mahciousness and shamelessness.
