BERLIN, July 5. Details of the
engagement between German torpedo
boats and the Russian force in the Bal

mediately turned. The German torpe-
do boats attacked the enemy with tor.

Seen Going Through Street.

They were seen to go up through
Main street about $50 0 clock Monday
afternoon, Boyd driving the ear, Miss
Walker seated in the middle and Mrs
Randall ON the left hand side of the
car, not in full control of her faculties,
III the opinion of those who saw the
party as the car went through Main
street.
When the car reached the West Riv-
er covered bridge it must have been
travelling at very rapid rate. In the
bridge ON the right hand side and ap-
preaching the southern end was sim
gle rig driven by Mrs. j. c. Newton,
the owner, with whom was riding Mrs
Henry Gilfeathcr of the Black Noun
tain road.
The ear struck the right side Of the
bridge, tearing off half of a short two
by-two upright support, sidcswiped the
carriage with the rear of the running
board and mudguard, causing the horse
to run away. Nelson Derby, farmer
of Putney road, who was walking in
the bridge, had no time to get out of
the way, and was struck by the car
and hurled to one side, and about 20
feet beyond where the carriage was
struck Mrs. Randall apparently was
thrown out of the automobile.
Mrs. Gilfeathcr aided Mrs. Newton
in controlling the frightened horse,
which was stopped on the long hill
leading to Brattleboro from the bridge.
Mrs Gilfcather then ran back into the
bridge, "not expecting to find anyone
alive she said.
She found Mrs Randall lying in a
pool of blood and so covered with
blood and dirt that Mrs. Gilfeathcr
who knew her, did not recognize her
Seated in the automobile just beyond
the unconscious woman, were Boyd and
Miss Walker.

warm June afternoon was cooled by
delightful breezes, waiting the scent
of new-mown hay from far-off
fields even through the unsavory
regions of Male Ratzek. The bride
tasted and busted herself with her
toilet preparations. The in-laws-to-
be began arriving in wagons, carts
and all manner of conveyances, and
tremendously stood in the way in
their attempt to be Of some use.
Bluma stood in the hallway pretend
ing to gaze abstractedly beyond the
horizon, but in reality cycling SUR
reptitiously red-cheeked youth of
her own age, one of the guests from
Philipova, jumping three, then four,
then five steps at time. Suddenly
much respected, but unfamiliar
figure appeared in the doorway. 1t
was the postman.
"a letter for Melnikova," he an
nounced in important bass tones.
"Ruler of the Universe, what can
it be-" wondered Mrs. Melnik as
flushed from the excitement she took
the letter gingerly in her hands after
wiping them on her checked apron.
"Pears to be from America" the
postman added good-naturedly.
"Some wine in the house,
Mrs. Melnik took the hint and
treated the postman with wine and
cake, calling all the while for Sara
to come and open the letter.
Sara opened the letter and on
reading the heading, began jumping
up and down, hugging her mother
and laughing and crying in the same
BREATH
"Nu, what is it? Tell me quick or
I shall burst" demanded the as
tonished Mrs. Melnik
"Can't you see it's from Taten?'
Sara replied and began repeating her
former embraces.
"Ge, &c, meshugene. Your Tate
is long since dead" and Mrs. Mel
nix shed few pious tears.
"No, no mamele, he's going to
send you and the children Shifskar-
ten to come to America, and you
will have to leave me. Oh, woe is
me, woe is me!' walled the bride.
1t was ten years back, the year the
birth of Bluma, and the death of the
twins, that Mr.. Melnik had disap-
peared as mysteriously as if the
earth had swallowed him. Mrs.
Melnik had gradually given up all
hope of his return or of ever hearing
from him and so had been posing as

III.-THE TRANSITION.

~ Dl1llld, Mdold . uCPdl tul Z Was
the supremest of tragedies. For the
moment the world seemed a very
dark, abysmal place, and Bluma an
exiled princess forced to dwell
among uncouth paupers. Gradually,
however, the intense agony Of that
first void was abated, and Bluma,
with the natural hunger of youth,
turned from her gloomy distractions
to the possibilities of her environ
ment.
The first event of any Importance
to break the hideous spell was the
approaching marriage of her oldest
sister Sara. Fair, healthy, of ruddy
complexion, and large proportions,
Sara was considered the beauty of
the family. In truth she was very
likable with her goodnatured, even
disposition and energetic ways. She
was the great attraction at Chaiah
Moeshel's department store where
she melted out cloth and cigarettes
with equal grace. She had won the
affections of Tra-la-la, who was the
towns willy Shadchen as we'll as wit
whose tongue mightier than any
pen, had the power of bringing souls
together or keeping them apart (if
his fee was not Adequately. He had
SO glowingly depicted the charms Of
Sara to bashful youth of the neigh
boring village of Philipova, that
there was nothing left for him to do
but to succumb to her charms, and
hand the Shadchen a twenty-five
dollar bill at the Tnoyim, or engage
ment ceremony.
Sara was considered remarkably
fortunate. Poor girl, with bandit
for father, and no money for Ma
dan, one would not be surprised if
she were doomed to the disgrace Of
everlasting spinsterhood. And now,
look what she got? Truly God was
with the poor. He was diamond
of a Chosan, albeit a little countri
fed; nu, he will overcome that.
Anyway, compared to the circum-
stances in which she was reared, she
will live like Czarina.
Thus wagged the busy tongues Of
Male Ratzek. Mrs Melnik beamed
and baked. Tra-1a-la and the Chosan
were constant visitors at the house.
Bluma looked on with undisguised
scorn at the unusual proceedings.
The bearded Chosan with his loud
outlaws at Tra-la-la's witticisms,
horse-laughs Bluma thought to her
self, was ridiculous. Tra-la-la would
pinch her cheek and say generously,

BLUMA--THE QUEST FOR THE BEAUTIFU
A Story by Jeanette Frisch.

yolA Oo1lIN nay
Il don't want your Chosanim,' .
Bluma would answer peevishly, and
haughtily disengage herself from his
grip.
"Nu, nu, just wait few more
years, and you'll be licking my hand
for a Chosan," and Tra-la-la en-
phasized his words by stroking
thoughtfully his sage beard.
DO you take me for a puppy ?"
Bluma demanded pertly.
No, but you are a little kitten
with very sharp claws for your age"
Tra-la-la replied soothingly.
Why couldn't that nasty old man
leave her alone, thought Bluma
What if all the Male Ratzek girls
licked his hand for Chosan, did
he think she was going to do it?
Did he think that she would have
any of the trash that came in his
way? Yes, some day she would
marry the Prince of her dreams, but
she had not yet decided whether he
was to have heavenly blue eyes and
golden locks, or mysterious brown
eyes with raven tresses. Some days
he would appear to her fair and an
other day dark, SO that she feared
there would be two princes who
would vie with each other for her
hand. Her favorite pastime now was
devising schemes to test those prime
es. She even thought of saving her
pennies to go to the gypsy queen for
advice on the subject.
The week of the wedding Bluma
forgot all her mental worries in
the excitement of the preparations.
She was obliged to run all the err
rands from spools of thread to TAX
ing the fowl to the butcher It was
to be miracle of feast when one
considered the poverty Of the family.
Yet somehow there are hidden sourc-
es of wealth which every good
mother brings to light when her
daughter is to be married. All the
members of the family were to be
RECALLED with new gowns. Mrs. Mel
nix in an imposing gown of black
taffeta; Miriam, dark-eyed, sharp
featured but attractive, in a red silk
one; the good docile Esther, in an
Indifferent blue wool; the prim pro-
sale Mary in dull brown wolfe. The
rebellous B1uma had selected deli
cate shade of pink wolfe, notwith-
standing the clamors of the family,
