CHAPTER Viii.

What a contrast, Duane thought, the
calm evening Of that day presented to
the state of his soul! This third fac
ing of desperate man had thrown
him off his balance. 1t had not been
fatal, but it threatened so much.
Despair had seized upon him and was
driving him into a reckless mood when
he thought Of Jennie.
He had forgotten her. He had for
gotten that he had promised to save
her. He had forgotten that he meant
to snuff out as many lives as might
stand between her and freedom. The
very remembrance sheered off his
morbid introspection. She made q
difference. How strange for him to
I realize that! He felt grateful to her.
He had been forced into outlawry; she
had been stolen from her people and
carried into captivity. They had met
in the river, fastness, he to instill hope
into her despairing life, she to be the
means, perhaps, Of keeping him from
sinking to the level Of her captors. He
became conscious Of a strong and beat.
4ng desire to see her, talk with her.
These thoughts had run through his
mind while on his way to Mrs. BANDS
house. He had let Euchre 60 on ahead
because he wanted more time to COM
pose himself. Darkness had about set
in when he reached his destination.
There was no light in the house. Mrs.
Bland was waiting for him on the
porch.
She embraced him, and the sudden,
violent, unfamiliar contact sent such q
shock through him that he all but
forgot the deep game he was playing.
She, however, in her agitation did not
notice his shrinking. From her en-
brace and the tender, incoherent words
that flowed with 1t he gathered that
Euchre had acquainted her Of his nc
ton with Black.
"He might have killed your she
whispered, more clearly; and if Duane
had ever heard love in voice he
heard it then. It sOftaned him. 1t
was easy, even pleasant, to kiss her !;
but Duane resolved that, whatever her
abandonment might become, he would
not go further than the lie she made
him act. ......-
.Buck, you love me?" she whispered.
a "Yes-yes,'' he burst out, eager to
get it over, and even as he spoke he
caught the pale CLEAN of Jennie's face
through the window. He felt a shame
he was glad she could not see.
The moon hal risen over the eastern

what was in his mind. These men

German Actress Who
Married Italian Can't
Play Municipal Theatre

Frankfort, Feb. 18.-Because OF her
marriage with Count Minotto she has
become an italian citizen. Agnes Sor-
ma, one of Germany's best known ac-
itresses, has been denied permission by
the military authorities to play in the
municipal theatre of 'I1anau. near
here.
Countess Minotto. or FrauIein Sor-
ma as she is better known, has been
since the beginning of the war, a Red
Cross nurse, but has frequently ap-
peared on the stage for the benefit
of wounded soldiers. Her intended
appearance at Hanau was to- have
been for charity also.
Other military district commanders
are less strict than the one who rules
over Hanau, for Countess Minotto is
scheduled to appear in F1ensberg and
Dusseldorf before the first of April,
the date on which she is to take up
her Red Cross duties again. No OBJ
lection to her appearance in these
places has as yet been registered.

THE TIME TO SAVE
MONEY IS WHEN YOU
CAN BUY MORE FOR LESS

Saving money, that is the great
campaign that is being waged all over
the United States. Save so that in
your old age you will have something
to fall back upon when the rainy days
come. Right in line with this move
ment for saving the pennies is the
clearance sales that are being held at
The Caesar Misch stores. Right now
so the manager Of this popular cloth
ing store said, 'is the time when not
only pennies, but dollars are to be
saved here" prices have never been
lower on high quality wearing appar-
ell, and every Indication points to the
fact that they will not be so low
again for some time, as it is almost
impossible to obtain dyes on account
of the war; This means that now is
the right time to invest in clothing
for the future, as styles at this store
are right up to the minute and in
advance even. Every department in
this store is unloading wearing ap-
parel, nothing is being held back,
the policy of this store is to show
only goods in the season that they
were made to sell.
Cheerful credit, is offered to all who
wish to make purchases in this simple
credit manner. No deposit is asked
for at the time the purchase is made,
and whatever is bought may be paid
for later In small weekly tnsta1lnents.

RELEASED PRISONERS
GRTTICISE AMERICAN
AMBASSADORS CHARGE

. London. Feb. 18.-Released prison
ers from the Ruhleben camp who
have returned to England are indig-
nant over the last report of the AM
erican Ambassador at Berlin, in which
he made the statement: 1.-The British
taxpayer is paying large sum in
wages because the Ruhleben prisoners
are unwilling to do the fatigue work
Of the camp
This charge is called unjust and I'M
just and ungenerous by the released
prisoners, who say that Ambassador
Gerhard has no real knowledge of the
working of the camp.
1t is true that the British government
pays five marks a week to each civil
ian prisoner in the camp. But each
receipt states explicitly that the money
must be repaid If asked for by the
British Chancellor of the Exchequer
At one time. the released prisoners
say further, this sum did help the in
mate of the camp to live, but with
butter at four marks a pound and
other foods in keeping, five marks
does not go very far. In fact the
prisoners rely almost entirely on par
GELS from England.
Regarding the policing ofethe camp,
prisoners offer this explanation: Many
of the prisoners have no relatives or
friends from whom to obtain parcels
by mail. To support these depend
ents, a fund is raised by the contrBbu-
ton OF a penny a week by all who
are able to pay This fund is turned
over to the captains of the various
barracks Out of it is paid the wage
of the men who have volunteered to
dc fatigue duty.
"A returned prisoner by the name Of
Keane, who spent fourteen months at
Ruhleben after a month of solitary
confinement, says that games and en-
tertainments are absolutely necessary
in the camp for keeping up the spirits
OF men. Early last year a, wave of
depression swept the camp and one
man, on receiving news of the death
of his wife, cut his throat in the pres
ence of four hundred other prisoners.
1T took at this time the utmost ex-
ertion on the part of few to keep
up any games or sports at all. So
far as the condition of the camp is
concerned, he says, the prisoners have
done everything, even TO erecting law
atories.
one thing about the camp Mr.
Keane condemns is the separation of
the prisoners in two separate groups
the true British, who are lodged in
sons of British people born in Ger
many or German born in England,
who have for the most part chosen to
be called British in order to escape
military service. The pro-Germans
occupy huts on the recreation ground
and receive many favors, and a Ger.
tain number of them have enlisted In
the German army. Even those en-
listing drew their five marks from tbs
British government up to their enlist
ment.
Ambassador Gerard visited only the
pro-Gernan part Of the camp, ac-
fcordfng to Mr.. Keane.

BAYVIEW SHOULD
BE HANDLED As
IN FORMER YEARS
THIS rs THE VIEW BY MEMBERS
OF THE FAIRGROUNDS COM
MITTEE, UNDER WHOSE SUP
ERyIsIoN WORK WAS DONE.

That Bayview park should be
operated as in former years and not
for the profit of any one person, is
the view taken by members of Play
grounds Committee, who last year
surrendered the park upon request Of
the city commissioners because of the
fear of sickness resulting from bath
ing there.
It is understood the Objectionable
Romano street sewer will soon be
closed and it is believed that will re-
move all danger to bathers and 1t was
thought the park would revert to the
Fairgrounds Committee and be open
ed to the public generally.
It is pointed out that the dress
ing rooms, wharves ana other i'm
provements at the bathing pavilion
were built at the expense of individ-
uals, who contributed to the play
grounds, and consequently the prop
erty does not belong to the city al
though all Of the buildings are on city
land.
Members Of the Fairgrounds Com
mittee recently talked with the city
commissioners and were of the .opin-
ion that the park would be turned
over to this committee as soon as
Objectionable conditions were rem
edied, and were consequently greatly
surprised when they learned il haC
been leased to an individual.
