to remain here. 1 consider myself

and he made dispairing, violent ges.
ture. "Go, before 1 change my miad."
Dave sfgnaled to the others, and
Alaire slipped away to make herself
ready. During the uncomfortable ST.
lence which succeeded her departure.
Longorio paced the room, keeping his
eyes resolutely turned away from Law.
"Do you mean that I, too, may go?"
O'Maliey inquired.
"What good are you to me?" snapped
the general
"You will give us safe conduct?"
"Be still, priest!" Longorio glal ed
at the speaker, clasping and unclasping
his fists behind his back.
With the sound of hoofs outside,
Alaire and Dolores appeared, and the
Mexican Strengthened himself with an
effort.
"Adios, sonora |" he said, with stiff

ment. Adios! Adios" He bowed
formally, in turn to Dave and to the
priest, then resumed his pacing, with
his hands at his back and his brow
furrowed as if in a struggle with af-
fairs of greater moment than this.
But when he heard the outside door

Between .Halicz and Carpathians

ENTHUSIASTICALLY Pursu-

London, July 11.-Halicz, the stra'
tegic key to Lemberg, capital of Cali
cia, has been captured by the Rus
slams, says dispatch from Reuters
Petrograd correspondent.
Since the Halicz offensive began, the
Teutons have been forced back 16
miles. The Russians have driven
20-mile wedge into the Austro-German
line of 20-mile front between Halicz
and the Carpathians.
Petrograd, July 11.-General Kor-
niloff's operations in Galicia along a
front. of 20 miles have broken the Aus
tro-German front between Halicz and
the Carpathians and already the Rus
sian cavalry has pressed forward for
distance of Is miles.
To the west of the Dniester, as q
result of the Russian forward move
ment, Halicz has been hemmed in
from the south and southwest and
the Russians now are menacing the
Halicz bridgehead.
Take $4,000 Prisoners In Week.
From July to 8 inclusive, General
Korniloff took $4,000 prisoners and SO
guns, of which II were heavy pieces.
General Korniloff's cavalry and Co.'S
sacks are pursuing General Kirbach's
retiring army south of Halicz and
have forced the River Lukovitza,
which parallels the Luvka river. The
western bank of the Luvka dominates
the wooded eastern bank, but it is
considered unlikely that the democrat
lied Austrian army can concentrate
sufficient troops to prevent Russian
passage of the river and continu-
ance of the advance in the direction
of Dolina, 35 miles west of Stanislau.
The cooperation of the Seventh and
Eleventh armies north Of Halicz with
the Eighth army south of that town
has been like clock-work.
Austrians and Germans Are Separated.
The success Of the Eighth army,
the military critic of the Reich points
out, separates the German army of
General Won Bothmer from the Third
Austrian army under General Kirbach,
and anticipates the evacuation of Hal
icz, which is not strictly fortress,
but strong bridgehead protecting the
positions of Gen. Won Bothmer's ar
my from the east and southeast.
