But you have chosen instead the lives

never harmed you, these women, these
little children. To betray them, who
have only loved you, who have been
your friendsl To give them into the
hands of England and to the knives
of the Indians !"
Her voice broke. At her first words
Blackford's face had taken on an ex-
preston of amazement, which grew
deeper and deeper as he listened and
glanced from one to the other Of his
two friends. Now, as her voice fall
tered, his establishment broke out:
"Toinette, in heavens name, what is
the matter?"
She answered YEARLY, listlessly, her
voice sinking to a whisper, so that
she seemed like an exhausted bird
that is scarcely able to skim above
the waves Of the sea:
"He has been here as a British spy |"
Blackford started, then laughed in
credulously.
"Tolnette, you're jokingl"
But she buried her face in her hands
and spoke through sobs that shook
her from head to foot.
"0h, if it were not truel {.
Ask him.
Blackford turned to David. His
friend had taken a step backward at
Toinette's first rush of reproach and
now leaned against the low counter,
trembling, pale as one who has re-
ceived a mortal wound. The shock
of her accusation coming on the heels
of the very moment when he had
isked his life to confront Cranmer,
stunned him.
Only his high, indignant pride rose
against the sorry riddle-a stubborn
pride which babe him listen to her
wild charge in silence, holding himself
in his angry conceit above the violence
of contradicting her, above STOPPING
to drag their love In the dust of quar-
rel. Blackford, striving to pierce be-
meath the mask Of that white, tense
face and the inscrutable eyes, cried
out In alarm at David's silent accept
ance of her words.
"It's not true, is 1t, David? My
God, it can't be truep
David was silent.
Blackford tried to laugh off his own
alarm:
"YOu two are playing some silly joke
on me, of course. ALI right-I'll own
you gulled me. Satisfied TOinette?"
Toinette threw back her head proud
ly. The blue eyes that had so often
danced with merriment were blazing
sapphires. \

voice rang out. 81 do not doubt but

Ike's eyes looked into those of his
friend with a passion of pleading for
denial. But David's voice answered
evenly, coldly:
'There is no need to search. I pre-
sumo that these papers are the ones
which Miss O'Bannon wishes"
\ And with steady fingers he unfas-
tened his coat and waistcoat and,
while Blackford gazed in horror, slow
ly drew out the packet of papers he
had wrested from Cranmer. He put
them in Ike's hands and bowed to Toi.

 MANAC EMENT I B|G LEAGUE
tBy United Press)

NEW YORK, Sept S.-Nap Lajoie's success as a manager in the Interna- tional league, and the recovery of his
 batting eye are almost certain to drag
 the veteran back into the big leagues.
 Several clubs are known to have ap- preached the baseball powers with a view of getting Lajoie, and at least one club has made him a tentative
 offer to manage 1t next year. Lajoie is satisfied with his lot in Toronto. He is we'll liked there. His team has been in the pennant fight all the way, and the club has been prosperous.
 Hence. he isn't figuring very heavily Ioffered him for his work as a big leaguer, however, Is expected to have its effect. And there are clubs who
 are ready to put up big price for the Frenehman's services.
 Toronto is expected in baseball circles to have an American league
 club before many seasons pass. In 1 fact, it is confidently expected the
 transfer will be made this winter. If
 Lajoie could be given the managership
 of this aggregation, or even if he were
 given a berth as a player he probably would be satisfied. It may come to
 pass that such an arrangement could 1 be made.

MANY RUSSIANS ARE INVADING
 .ROTTERDAM

ROTTERDAM, Sept. 8. - A Russian invasion of Rotterdam is causing the city fathers some concern, and the burgomaster has just had an inter view with the premier, Cort van der Linden, on the subject. As many as 5000 Russians have been added to Rotterdam's population since the out break of the war, most of them refu- gees from Germany and others es- capped prisoners of war The formers stay in Germany dates from before the war. They were employed in the mines there, and were not permitted to leave when hostiliues broke out. Ultimately food scarcity drove them to seek refuge in Holland. but they are in many cases even pro-German in their sympathies. In Rotterdam their wants are supplied by the Russian consul.

attacks against the Russians, but all of them were repulsed.
 With the abdication of King Con stantine of Greece and the departure of the former monarch, the queen, the crown prince and the royal entourage from Athens to embark on a British warship which will take them to a point where they can proceed to Switzerland, the Macedonian theatre holds forth promises of early import ant developments.
 Meanwhile on the fighting front along the Greco Serbian frontier, con siderable fighting is taking place, but without any important results having been achieved.
 The Austrians on the Carso plateau northeast of Gorizia in the Austro- Italian section have delivered attacks against the Italians occupying posi- tions they recently captured. All the attacks, however went for naught, owing to the accuracy of the fire of the Italian arti1erymen. Likewise, in the Trentino sector a heavy offense by the Austrians was put down by the Italians the enemy being driven back in disorder and with heavy losses.

STATEMENT BY AMERICAN
 AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA
Explaining the Aims of the American
 Mission Headed by Elihu Root.

Petrograd, June 14. via London Davir R. Francis, the American am bassador, issued to the press today
 a lengthy statement explaining the aims of the American mission head ed by Elihu Root, which arrived in Petrograd yesterday. The statement
 is thus unmarried by the official
 news agency:
 '"The commun1que states that the functions of the mission are to devise in accord with the Russian govern ment, effective means to aid Russia in her efforts to defeat the universal en- eny of democracy. Germany and the
 German standpoint are the greatest foes to the democratic ideas now cherished by America and Russia in common. The mission will elucidate to Russia the aims followed by America, making it clear that America is inspired by idealistic mo- tfves; also that she is deYotfng to the struggle all her natural resources, the indications of which are the facts that the American fleet is now op- erating jointly with the allied fleets; that O,0O0, ,0G0 Americans are reister- ed and the economic spirit which America can lend. Realizing that Russia must not only fight but live, America will try to reduce the bur dens and Drivations borne by the Rus sian people.

GENEROUS ACTION OF

Appropriates $1,ooo0oo for Recreation Centers at Army Concentration Camps.

New Haven, Conn, June 14.-The supreme board of directors of the Knights of Columbus announced today the appropriation of $1, 100000 by the order for the creation and mainten- ance of recreation centers at the prin- cipal army concentration camps. This action, it is said, is the result of a general appeal from members through out the country, urging that the work inaugurated along the Mexican border last year be continued and enlarged to meet present conditions.
 ''Of the million men soon to be in concentration camps preparing for war; says the statement, thirty or forty per cent. will be Catholics, many of them members of our order. Plain ly, then, our society is confronted with the proposition of opening up recreation centers at all of the prin- cipal concentration camps and of furnishing moral and material aid, and support to our soldiers.
 The supreme board of directors has appropriated one million dollars for the purpose and has issued a nation wide appeal to our membership for contributions to this war camp fund.-"
