Artillery Activity

London, May 23.-Evidencc Of the re-

new regime continues to come from the
Germans.
Russian artillery activity, which was
revived in several sectors, was answered
with a strong and effective fire. says
to-day's official statement from Berlin.
The Russians themselves say nothing
to indicate the improvement in morale
which even the resumption of gunfirc
indicates on the front when there has
been a truce for weeks. The Russian
statement tonight merely tells Of re-
pulsing a German raid.

several conferences:

still only poor Seminole selling his
wares to Palm Beach visitors. But
Gloria had loved and lost, had been
the unwilling object of Freneau's in
trigues and the helpless witness of
his murder.
Now the chief had attacked the only
foundation of her trust in Freneau.
The Indian had laughed at Gloria's
story of the courage of Freneau and
had given the credit for the battle
to Doctor Royce. The young chief
was in danger Of unconsciously de-
stroying the romance he had unconsci-
ously begun. Doctor Royce had dis
claimed the credit, and Gloria had
been overcome with remorse at sus-
pecting Freneau.
Still, the suspicion rested there. 1t

cards with him once or twice, but
she was so absent-minded that he pre-
ferred to play alone or occasionally
with Judge Freeman, kind of rela-
tion-that is, he was the father of
Gloria's brother Davids wife, Lois.
One evening while the two old men
were playing Doctor Royce dropped in.
He found Gloria in a deeper lethargy
than usual. He cudgelled his brains
to think up something to interest her,
but without success until the judge
rose and said:

behind her, she turned to seek protec-
ton, only to find three men more evil
looking than the oncoming drunkard.
Suddenly the whole world of Gloria
Stafford seemed to crumbe before her
eyes. Her dreams of vengeance, her
hopes of ferreting out the murderer,
indeed the murder itself became I'M
real as the immediate danger to her
own person was felt. She longed to
scream for help, but pluclSily stayed
quiet and backing into the steps Of a
tenement suddenly, threw the follow
ing men into surprise for an instant.
The thing who was crossing toward
her, however, came on without pause
and, lurching against the iron railing
to which she chung, snatched the gold
bag she carried and fled with sure and
steady steps, the other three following
slowly In apparent oblivion of the
theft.
With sigh Gloria sank to sitting
posture on the steps behind her. The
loss of gold mesh bag with its con-
tents meant nothing to Gloria STAFF

He lowered his eyes before her, and
then spoke suddenly: ut is too cold
for you. I'll get your furs."
He tried to lead her inside, she re-
fused. There seemed nothing for him
to do but leave her there and go for
her wraps.
She stared at the crowd, then on sud.
den impulse ran down the steps to a
policeman standing on the walk. Tim
idly she tapped him on the arm. 1.-THE
man who just went by so hurriedly--
he was poorly dressed, had SLOUGH
hat and beard, did you see which
way he went?" she asked.
The policeman pointed to the right
and Gloria started Immediately to run
that way. The streets were i'll lit and
poor but she hurried on with hardly
a glance at her surroundings. To lose
the real murderer now was unthink-
able to her; to have had him there in
the very arms of the law, the man
whom she had seen actually do her
lover to death, only to have him es-
cape again, drove her into frenzy.
She ran on, peering into dark door,
ways and alleys. Judge Freeman,
whom she had watched all evening
mete out punishment to far lesser
crimes, had actually made no effort to
catch this demon for her What was
the mystery of it all? Why were they
all in league to thwart her and to re-
fuse vengeance on Dicks slayer?
Her brain was whirling, her search
ing eyes ached and burned as they
peered vainly ahead for the dread fig.
ure of the tramp. So absorbed was
Gloria in her pursuit that she gave
no thought to the dangers she was
exposing herself to, and the dangers
were many. 1t was bad district, o
very hotbed of crime and poverty.
The hour was midnight and she was
alone-a young and beautiful woman
carrying money and jewels, as well
as her own priceless girlhood, but the
impetus of her search carried her on
without a thought for her own safety
Doctor Royce and her father had
returned with her wraps to the court
house steps only to find her gone, and
wild with anxiety, they started reck
lessly in pursuit, each taking differ
ent direction. BY misfortune neither
Of them was right.
Meanwhile Gloria fastened on. She
actually caught glimpse of the tramp
ahead of her; he was lettering in a
doorway gnawing a crust of bread
hungrily, and she redoubled her speed,
but he started on and turned the cor
ner of street while she was in the
middle of block and when she got
there he was nowhere in sight
Suddenly she realized She was tired
and weak, that she could actually go
no farther, and that she must rest. AS
she slaclzened her pace she was
alarmed at seeing q rough-looklng
man cross the street toward her; he
reeled as he came on, so that she was
further aroused to danger at thinking
him under the influence of liquor.
She did not know that this was one OF
the numerous lodges of the pickpocket
and that she would have been safer
with an actually intoxicated man. She
looked up and down the street as far
as she could see, but there were no
policemen in sight, and, hearing steps
