that unobserved, he believed that he
could stretch UP his arms and pull
Amy down to safety.
At dark he started out in his auto
The house was a little way outside
the town limits. II was a lonely neigh
oorhood. and this left him more free
dom to deal tactfully with the situa-
ton. He left the auto at the back OF
old Bannister's little garage, and made
his way toward the back of the house.
The ladder was still there Unob-
served. as he believed. Roger set foot
upon the lowest rung, ana soon he
was tapping at the window pane
above.
Amy opened the window with lit
tie cry of Joy. She was fully dressed,
and carried a bag in her hand.
Il knew you would come, dearest"
she whispered. and her arms chung to
his neck. Very carefully he lifted her
down to the top rung of the creaking,
swaying ladder, and thence. rung by
rung. down to the ground.
A moment later they were creeping
through the darkness toward the hid
den auto.
Now the girl was inside. and Roger
was desperately cranking when a sud
den shout rang out behind him. 1t
was old Bannister, and he was rushing
toward them. In his hand was the
CLINT of a revolver.
Roger leaped into the auto and
started away as the frenzied old man
drew near. He sped down the road
toward the boundary of the STATE, ten
miles away, where a marriage could
be performed without the formality Of
a license.
But he had hardly left the house
behind him when old Bannister's auto
was heard chugging along behind him.
Now ensued a weird race through
the shadows. Roger let her ont to the
limit. AS he ran his mind revolved
about a friend of his, a young minis
ter, who would certainly perform the
ceremony, even in his pajamas. But
it was hard to throw the old man or
the scent. The rattletrap behind new
er failed to indicate it's presence in
their neighborhood. Family the old
mans cries came to their ears. But
now the state line was crossed, and
at length Roger, with Amy clinging to
him in terror and joy, had thrown the
pursuers off the track among the
houses and winding streets OF the SUI
burban town.
Roger dashed toward his friends
house. He pulled up, left the auto at
the doorstep, and hammered vigor-
ously upon the door. 1t opened, and
the Rev. Hugh Hughes-in his pa
jamas-stood confronting them, while
in the distance q rattle, rattle indt-
Gated the approach of the enemy.
How soon can you marry us?" de-
manded Roger.
Instantly" said the Rev. Hugh
Hughes. Come in"
and as the blows of Mr.. Bannis-
ter's fists upon the door reverberated
through the house, Amy was saying II
will"
The Rev. Hugh Hughes opened the
door. You're too late" he said to
Mr.. Banister.
The old man strobe forward and
surveyed the couple with an intensely
self-satisfied smile
Bless you, then-bless you" he
chuckled, gripping Roger by the hand.
It's hard to lose an only daughter,
but, by heck, I've got what every ia

What's that?" demanded Roger in
amazement.

GERMANS FAVOR U-BoAT WA

in Sentiment.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-"Germany believes
the United States is pro-English, and
wouldn't give continental II diplo-
matio relations between Germany and
this country were severed. Moreover.
majority Of the German people favor
virulent submarine warfare against
England. regardless OF what the United
States might do"
This was the message that Fritz
Glogauer, American citizen. former
editor Of the Chicago Abendpost, and
more recently a resident Of Munich,
Germany, brought to Chicago yester-
day. |
The German Feeling.
"The feeling in Germany is very BIT
ter against the United States" he said.
.Is the submarins question had been
lef. to a vote Of the people Of Germany.
they would have voted to continue the
campaign. regardless OF the United
| States"
DR.. Glougauer had no criticism to
make of the administration Of Affairs
by Ambassador Gerard at Berlin.
some papers in Berlin and other
parts of Germany charged Ambassador
Gerard with unfairness." he said. "but
none of these papers ever substan-
t!ated It's charges. and majority OF
the papers-and tho German people
have no complaint to make against tho
ambassador.
No Eyes on Election.
Germany Is not interested in the
result Of the American election" he
continued Tho German people feel
America as pro- English. They believe
the war would have ended long ago
but for the American aid to the allies,
"The German people generally, how
ever, credit the president of the United
States with more power than he really
possesses. They believe the president
Is king in a frock coat But they
are in no way interested In American
politics"
Inability to secure business commu-
nications because OF the English CEN
sorship OF mails necessitated his re-
turn to this country at this time, Mr..
Glogauer said.
No Mail for Months.
II have been unable to obtain any
business mall for months" he said. y
