CHAPTER III-contlnued.

Toye looked disconnected and dis
tressed. but at the same time frankly
puzzled. He apologized none the less
readily, with almost ingenious cour-
tesy and fullness. but he ended by ex-
planning himself in a single sentence.
sad that told more than the rest of his
STRAIGHTFORWARD eloquence put to-
gether.
II q man had done you down like
that. wouldn't you want to kill him the
very moment you came out, Cazalet ?"
The creature of impulse was of at

It, tool" he exclaimed. I'D move
heaven and earth to save him, guilty
or not guilty. Wouldn't you in my
placer"
II don't know" said Hilton Toye.
1T depends on the place you're in. I
guess!" And the keen dark eyes came
drilling into Cazalet's skull like
augers.

impatiently. I'VE were in the office

you. Scruton was ten thousand times

Are you sure? II you knew it at

Il didn't. told you so the last
night"
Well, mustn't ask questions" said
Hilton Toye. and began folding up his
newspaper with even more than his
usual deliberation.
oh, I'll tell you!" cried Cazalet un-
graciously. IT'S my own fault for tell
Ing you SO much. It was in letter
from Scruton himself that heard the
whole thing. I'd written to him-to-
ward the end-suggesting things. He
managed to get an answer through
that would never have passed the
prison authorities. And-and that's
why l came home just when l did,"
concluded Cazalet; that's why l didn't
wait till after shearing. He's been
through about enough, and I've had
more luck than deserved. meant to
take him back with me, to keep the
books on our station, II you want to
know!" The brusk voice trembled.
Toye let his newspaper slide to the
door. But that was fne!" he ex.
claimed simply. That's as fine an ac-
ton as I've heard Of in long time"
If 1t comes sff." said Cazalet in q
gloomy voice.
Don't you worry It'll come off. Is

At Waterloo the two men parted,
with fair exchange of fitting
speeches. none OF which rang really
false. And yet Cazalet found himself
emphatically unable to make any plans
at all for the next few days; also, he

Hats and Faces.

A Boston man went down to Hart

OF course. the Boston man didn't
make 1t clear to the ladies' with Hart
ford faces just what the hat-and-face
ratio should be. Even 29-cent face
might hesitate over wearing q 29-cent
hat. On the other hand a woman with

to don $50 hat
No, the Boston man il wadins into

10000 PRISONERS
TAKEN BY ALLIES
BRITISH AND FRENCH CONTINUE
GREAT soMME-ANcRE
DRIVE.
REPORT STEADY ADVANCE
Continue Efforts Around Verdun-ln-
tensity Of the Great Battle Does Not
Diminish Any During Sunday.

LondOn.-An through the night and
Sunday the great British and French
offensive which began Saturday morn
continued with intensity. Both British
and French War Offices report a
steady advance at certain points, but
speak also of the formidable German
resistance.
Fricourt, an important town, three
miles East of Albert. has fallen to the
British arms, while the French have
taken Gurlu, which lies to the South
east. The fighting at the southern
end Of the British line, where it is in
contact with the French, is Of the
iercest nature tremendous artillery
actions preceding all infantary at
tacks.
The French have taken 5000 pris-
oners, according to the latest esti-
mates, while the British, though re-
porting the capture of $500 later de-
clared that the estimates were too
low. Owing to the nature of the bat
tie, it is not doubted that the casual
ties are very high.
Notwithstanding the terrific often.
sive against them in the Somme River
region, the Germans have not ceased
in their effort around Verdun. They
have bombarded several Of the Yer
dun sectors and have launched infan-
try attacks against the French trench
es. While Berlin declares that the
French attacks against the famous
Thiamont work were repulsed by cur
tains of fire the French War Office
that this strategic position
has been re-captured by the French
forces and is held by them.
Referring to the Anglo-French drive
the Germans official statement says
that at several points of the first
line trenches along the Somme the
enemy forces gained success and were |
able to advance. A German division |
In this sector had to be withdrawn.
