Helen, not answering.
"Geel | didn't see. You pretty near

declared the boy scornfully. Some

knee once more with his handker-

A frantic governess, followed by an
open-mouthed chauffeur, came running
at that moment toward them.
The child parted reluctantly from
her new-found friend. Are you GO
ing to be a really-truly engineer. and
smokyed up?" she asked.
George faced her unabashed. You

gulping solemnly while the governess
tried to hurry her away, 81 won't ever

the characteristics of her childhood.
They were held in deeper reserve, but
they were just as persistent Re-
strained by convention, she was still
adventurous in spirit and her fathers
one anxiety, old soldier though he
was. was that a spirited horse or an
ocean undertow would some day be his
daughters undoing. At that, he was
forced to admit, the reckless girl could
get more out of horse than he himself
could.
Closest among her fathers friends,
was Amos Rhinelander, a New York
man of large means, and General
Holmes, returning on Helen's eight
eenth birthday with Rhinelander and
Rhinelander's nephew-Robert Sea-
grue, himself young and ambitious
railroad promoter-from a trip of in
spection of the tidewater terminals OF
Holmes road, was eagerly awaited
by his daughter at their country home
among the San Pablo foothills. A
message sent up to her from Signal,
the suburban station of the country
seat, had asked her TO meet her father
that day on No. 20, the through
eastern passenger train.
The motor car had gone ahead and
Helen, taking Rocket, one of her fa-
vorite hunting horses, rode down at
her leisure to the station.
While far from being spoiled child,
Helen felt very much at home any
where on the Copper Range and Tide
water railroad Reared at home, un-
der a discipline almost military, and
under teachers held sternly to account
for her education by her only living
parent, the growing girl had still pre-
served an innate simplicity-some-
thing almost naive-which was re-
fected in her friendship for the en-
ployees, high and low, of the entire
Tidewater line, of which her father
was president and in which he owned
a substantial interest.

Bibbs' room, that neat apartment for
transients to which the "lamidal"
George had shown him upon his return,
quarters, possibly because Bibbs had
no clear conception of himself as
permanent incumbent. However, he
had set upon the mantelpiece the two
photographs that he owned; one, a
group" twenty years old-his father
and mother, with Jim and Roscoe as
boys-and the other cabinet" of
Edith at sixteen. And upon a table
were the books he had taken from his
trunk: Sartor Resartus, Virginibus
Puerisque, Huckleberry Finn, and Aft

mained unremoved at the foot Of the
bed, adding to the general impression
of transiency. 1t contained nearly all
the possessions as well as the secret
life of Bibbs Sheridan, and Bibbs sat
beside 1t, the day after his interview
with his father, raking over a small
collection of manuscripts in the top
tray. Some Of these he glanced through
dubiously, finding little comfort In
them; but one made him smile. Then
he shook his head ruefully indeed, and
ruefully began to read 1t. 1t was writ

INVESTIGATION OF
 CATTLE INDUSTRY
 URGED BY BANKERS
Resolution by Texan Will Be Voted on Today, Asking U. s. to Probe Cause of De- crease in Cattle Raising.
(By Review Leased Wire)

KANSAS CITY Sept 2S.-Congres- sional investigation of the live stock industry, including production, mar keting, slaughtering and distribution and sale of all cattle was asked here today in a resolution presented to the American Bankers Association on the request, presented by George E. Webb, of San Antonio, Texas, was deferred until tomorrow.
 We face the alarming fact that for 20 years the production of cattle has not kept pace with the increase of population but has declined in num- ber," it reads. With thousands of acres of virgin land being brought un- der the blow. we have reduced our annual average production per acre to about 50 per cent, producing today less than half the average per acre of Europe farms. This while yet our nation is in its infancy"

Look and Fee! Clean, Sweet and

 out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well. eat well. digest well. work well. sleep well. look well What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise. split ting headache. stuffy from a cold. foul tongue. nasty breath acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone. whether ailing. sick or well. should, each morning, before breakfast. drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach. liver. kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste. sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases. waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly eX- tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells. stomach trouble. rheumatism; others who have sallow .skips, blood disorders and sfckly compleXions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject of in ternal sanitation.

WAR SUM M ARY

Except for fresh British attack, which gave them the great part of German redoubt north of Thiepval and 600 prisoners, the troops of the entente in the region between the 1 Somme and ,Ancre rivers in France, apparently are taking a breathing spell and consolidating the positions captured in the great offensive which began last Monday and has netted them Combles. Thiepval and other strong German positions at various points along the 20 mile front.
 During the work of concentration, however, the big guns of the British and French are hurling tons of steel against the new German positions. Another attack with Bapaume and Peronne the objectives is forecast. Meanwhile, a big battle is in prog ress on the eastern front in the region between Lutsk and Vladimir. Volyn- sky, around Sviniusky and Korynito, where Russians are attempting to ad- bul llC ait iAhPNNhhc them by heavy counter attacks. The German war office says these counter attacks in the region of Korynitza have resulted in the recapture of po- sitions lost recently by the Teutons. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the Russians, says Berlin, and in addition 4l officers and 2S00 men were taken prisoners.
 In Galicia the Germans west of Krasnolesie also pressed forward their lines, while in the Carpathians, attacks by Russians were repulsed in hand-to-hand fighting
 The Russian general staff announc- es that since General Brussiloff began his offensive 100000 officers and men of the Teutonic allies have been made prisoner and 600 cannon and 2500 machine guns and mine throwers have been captured.
 Around Petroseny and Hermann stadt in Pennsylvania, Teutonic allies and Rumanians are engaged in bitter fighting but with no important results.
 Paris reports a repulse of Bulgari- an attacks on both sides of Florina. There have been bombardments by British of positions of the Central Powers by land batteries near Doiri- en and British warships in the Aege- an Sea. An attack by the Austrians in the upper Cordoval valley, Rome says, was repulsed.
 Greece's entry into the war on the side of the entente has not yet been announced. An unofficial dispatch from Athens gives the text of the proc lamation of a provisional government in Crete by former premier Venizelos and Admiral Coundouriotis. which de- clares that if the king should decide not to take the lead of the national forces, ''it is our duty to do the need ful thing to save the country from the threatening ruin"

EYE WITNESS TELLS
 OF LATEST BATTLE
 ALONG THE S0MME
Schwaben Redoubt, Once Crowned With Crusi6x, Is Captured by Hell-bent Brit ish in Fearful Charge.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE FIELD IN FRANCE, Sept 2S.- You have just time to get into a tree top and see us go after the Schwaben redoubt," said staff general to the correspondent of the Associated Press today.
 Attacks have been so numerous a. long the British front in the last few days that even if informed of all be- fore hand, the correspondents would have to possess a dual personality to be present at all This offensive is in one of its stages, but it is being progressed with sustained and tireless fury.
 Schwaben redoubt is beyond Triep- val, which was taken Tuesday; a cru cifx once crowned this hill. Where it stood became the center of the strongest defense German ingenuity and industry could build. This was the goal of the Ulstermen in their he roic charge on July l. when they fell face forward under the storm of ma chine gun fire sent from the site of the former shrine. In all the weeks since July l the British made no fur ther attempt at this hill. Their trenches were in the same place as before that day. The ''no-man's land" pr Dead Space" remained where it was when the Germans first formed their defensive line. But while the British were swinging from the south, where the grand work was done on July 3, they had more than Triepval and Schwaben redoubt.
 And we hold the Germans will con tinue to think us stupid" said Brit ish staff officer. But beyond Thiepval was that last commanding high srourd south of 'he Ancre. Bare and brown it looked ms morning and dis ruct were the German trenches, that We're going 10 get it" at a given mom cut.
