turn, had suddenly become blind.
- "If frighten you like this IL
must not look at you,' he faltered.
Still she trembled; still she covered her
face.
"See!" he cried. II have closed them
again."
She looked up in amazement. He was
standing with his eyes tight shut. He
who had been in darkness all these long
months had dared, to save her from her
own shame, to return again to the pit.
For second it stopped her heart from
beating. Then, springing to his side, she
seized his hands.
"Peter," she commanded, "open your
eyes!"
He was pale-ghastly pale.
"Not if it hurts you"
Swiftly leaning toward him, she kissed
the closed lids.
"Will you open them-now?"
She was in terror lest he should find it
some temporary miracle which, having
been scorned, would not be repeated.
Then once again she saw his eyes futter
open. This time she faced them with her
fists clenched by her side. What differ
ence those eyes made in him. Closed, he
was like helpless child; open, he was a
man. He grew taller, bigger, older, while
she who had been leading him about
shrank into insignifcance. She felt pet
tier, palmer, less worthy than ever she
had in her life. By sheer force of will
power she held up her head and faced him
as if she were facing the sun.
FOR a moment his eyes feasted upon
her. To see her hair when for months
he had been forced to content himself with
memories of it; to see her white forehead,
her big, deep eyes and straight nose; to
see the lips which he had only felt
all that held him silent.
But he saw something else there, too.
Something had been added. Before she
had the features of a girl; now she had the
features of a woman. Something had
since been added to the eyes and mouth

GERMAN ATTACKS FAIL
AGAINST THE RUSSIANS
Sharp Fighting at Some Points on
Eastern Front, According
to Petrograd.

LONDON, May 6.-There has been
sharp fighting at some points along the
eastern front, according to the latest Of
fetal Russian advices. Petrograd says ::
"On the Dvina front the Germans di-
rected a violent bombardment against the
fertilization at Ikskull and the region
east of Friedrichstadt. Enemy aeroplanes
dropped bombs at several points on the
front. In the region between Jacobstadt
and Dvinsk our artillery by a successful
hit caused an explosion of enemy NUM-
tions.
Southeast of Lake Med we captured
enemy trenches by q surprise action.
Northwest of Kroschine Thursday
the Germans, after three hours of ar
tillery preparation. attacked with large
forces the village of Donbrovka. Our
troops delivered a counter attack and
the enemy took fight, leaving behind
him a number of killed and wounded
and a quantity of arms and ammuni-
ton We also took some prisoners
Northeast of Czartorysk detach-
ment of our scouts attacked with the
eral prisoners.
South Of the Olyka station our scouts
forced the enemy to evacuate a wood
east of the village of Jernistche.
"In the region Of Mouravitz one Of
our aeroplanes attacked two enemy
machines and after q half hours fight
one of them was forced to the earth
within the enemy's lines, while the
other disappeared"

GASOLINE is IGNITED;
MAN WISHED TO SMOKE
Three Hundred Gallons Of Fuel De-
stroyed and Building Is
Damaged.

A large crowd of spectators witnessed
a spectacular nre about Z o'clock last
night in front of the building OF the
National Motorist Association, 1921 18th

loss OF 800 gallons of gasoline and the
destruction of a motor truck and tank
of the Penn Oil Company. Edward

According to the police report of the
fire. Aurillus Haskell. 1898 Newton
street northwest, who was standing
several feet from where Austin was
filling a ground tank from the tank on
the motor truck, struck a match to
light a cigarette. Instantly the fumes
from the fluid ignited. the contents OF
fve-gallon can in Austin's hand ex-
ploded and the can was blown hlgh
in the air.
Then the contents of the big tank
on the truck ignited A vent in the
top of the tank prevented an explosion,
however. but 1t was impossible to pre-
vent the loss of all the gasoline and
the destruction of the tank and most
of the truck.
The pump connected with the storage
tank in the ground was ruined by the
fire and the building of the National
Motorist Association was badly scorch-
ed. Firemen prevented the fire from
being communicated to the building.
Damage to the truck and contents
was estimated at $4,000. The building
was damaged to the amount of s25 and
a similar amount of damage was done
to the pump connected with the ground
