contempt for all literary hurdles in the
shape of polysyllables that made her
delivery thing Of great charm. Both
Sam and Martha, reading to Charlie,
hesitated and stumbled at every big
word. The result was hating and

CHAPTER Iii.
AM Old Acaualntance.

Mary Alice's recollection of day Of
prosperity was so vague that, for a
long time, 1t had been quite inactive.
The events of the last few hours had
stirred it ever so little.
She had had good nights sleep
In a clean, cool bed; had breathed a
quantity Of air from the original pack
age; had been fed literally and whole
somely; had seen and been in home
that was home.
Better than all that she had made
the acquaintance of Charlie Thomas,
who looked like an indolent angel and
was only crippled, crumpled little
boy. Mary Alice had supposed that
she was the most unlucky child in the
world. She could not think of Charlie,
anchored immovably to one spot by his
inhrInity. and wish to change places
with him. He was more unfortunate
than she; yet he spoke very agreeably
and confidently of God. as II God were
a sort of friend, like the doctor or his
father, Sam Thomas.
You can't plant bitterness In the
heart of child and expect it to thrive
except through combination of very
unlikely circumstances. In the soil
of Mary Alice's soul the acrid noisome
shoot of bitterness had withered. In
its place, overnight, fairer vegetation
had terminated
Now, sitting beside Sam Thomas on
the city bound trolley car, Mary Alice
was all mixed up in her mind between
the desire to see and comfort her
mother, who would be frantic with
anxiety. and the wish to go back to the
quist farm, where the chickens pecked

ted to the corner of Calvert street and
back.
There was nothing to eat in the
house or a penny Of money. Now the
baby walled dolefully for his milk
Over the washtubs Mrs. Brown had
long since dried up the natural sources
for his need.
On the stairs came humping and
pounding of feet, heralding the APP
proach of at least two persons. Mrs.
Brown Strengthened up and listened,
nervously wiping her hands on her
damp apron.
Mary Alice came in, followed closely
by a large, ruddy man who didn't
bother to take off his hat. Mary Alice's
face was shining with new light her
black eyes sparkled, and her black hair
looked blacker than ever because of
the bow of red ribbon Mrs. Thomas
had tied on it. The little girls arms
were full Of bundles.
The moment Sam Thomas entered

aura compounded Of many things. The
barn, the dairy and the field had all
contributed to 1t. Dainty people turn
up their noses at that kind Of odor:
maybe it is agreeable only by sugges-
ton.
To Mrs. Brown II brought back apple
blossoms and roses and morning glo-
ries; it brought back big shiny pans Of
unskimmed yellow milk, smoky rafters
hung with braided-together ears of
popcorn, rag rugs, chickens that you
had to shoe out OF the kitchen, the
bleating OF sheep on a hummocky hill
side. 1t brought back the tears she
had forgotten how to she'd.
All this was as instantaneous as the
breath of odor-laden air that waited
across her face. She looked up into
Sam Thomas eyes and saw that they
were, very friendly. She saw something
else. but she was not quite sure Of 1t;

.LUTSK TAKEN
BY RUSSIANS
The Austrians Forced to Quit
Strong Position.
1900 ARE PRISONERS
Russian Military Critic Says All Five
Austrian Armies Are On the Eve
OF Retreat Before the Cars
Fast-Moving Troops.

sPetrograd (via London) The cap
ture of Lutsk, in Volhynia, and also OF
a series Of powerfully organized Aus
trian positions is announced in an offi-
cial communication given out here.
In addition to the Austrians pre-
viously captured in the offensive move
ment recently inaugurated. the state
ment says there were captured in
Thursdays fighting So officers and
II, 900 men, A large amount of war
material was taken.
According to details supplementing
the official reports of the Russian sue
cess, the artillery preparation by
which the Russians cleared the path
for the infantry surpassed in intensity
all previous efforts of their gunners.
Lembera In Danger.
Guns of all sizes contributed to the
rain Of shellfire SONG of the batteries
emitted continual roar Whole fields
of wire were swept away with astonish-
ing rapidity.
The retreat of certain Austrian de-
tachments was completely cut off by
curtain of shrapnel, through which
it was impossible for any living thing
to pass. They surrendered by the
wholesale.
A well-informed military critic says:
'sAll five of the Austrian armies are
on the eve of retreat and Lemberg is
in great strategic danger. A breach
100 miles wide has been blown in the
Austrian front, involving the left wing
of General Linzinger's army group,
which consisted of from IS to 20 divi-
sions.
On the same authority it is asserted
that "a strategic breach 100 miles wide
has been blown in the Austrian front,
involving the armies of General Count
Won Bothmer and General Won Boehm-
Ermolli and part of that of Archduke
Joseph Ferdinand"
Still Pushing On.
The communication says:
"On Tuesday we developed our of
fensiye in the direction of Rovno and
Koyel, and, keeping on the heels of the
oyerthrown enemy and following bat
tie in the region of Lutsk, we occupied
that town. In. many places we have
seized not only the lines of the Rivers
Ikwa and Styr. but have crossed them
and continued our offensive. Z
I'm Galicia, on the Lower Stripa, our
infantry, supported by artillery fire,
captured by an energetic advance a
number of powerful enemy organized
positions on the front of Trzibou-
khovtsky-Jazlovetz and have arrived
quite near the line of the ,Stripa
River"
In addition to the 10000 prisoners
previously taken we took in the course
of Thursdays fighting So officers and
about 1000 men.

pied boy with a billion dolIars' worth
OF gold curls sat and looked at the
hills Her faint recollection OF day
OF prosperity included a cottage and
some grass Nothing in it reminded
her of scant feeding, whippings and
ever-present fear. She could not man
age to make any connection between
it and her father, the besotted Lem
Brown Of today.
The sweet morning breeze that
stirred her black hair as the trolley
car whizzed dizzily along, the friendly
presence Of Sam, Charles father,
broke through Mary Alice's reserve.
Martha had helped her straighten out
her hair, just before she left the farm.
and had tied piece of ribbon on 1t.
This gave Mary Alice family stirring
consciousness of her own appearance;
there is no tonic like 1t.
Sam Thomas did not ask direct, lead
ing questions, as did Martha and Char
lie. He ventured the opinion that
Mary Alice's father would have gone
TO work by the time she reached home.
Mary Alice said that her father didn't
work Sam did not Immediately cry
"Oh" and seem shocked, so Mary Alice
overlooked her negligence in having let
slip something she had kept a secret
from Charlie.

This was as far as she got; the
prospect was too alluring.
Ry nine o'clock Mrs. Brown had be-
gun to be genuinely alarmed about her
daughter, whom she had missed upon
waking at five. There were plenty of
places where she might have gone, for
numerous purposes; but there was no
conceivable reason why she should
stay so long. Mrs Brown thrust her
