course 1t is possible that I misjudge

so, will refuse to perform the cere-

I shall do as you WISH"
AS the day wore on Alaire realized
even more clearly the fact that she
was Longorio's prisoner. His men, in
spite of their recent debauch, kept very
good watch over her, and it was plain
that they would obey his orders, no
matter how extreme. It occurred to
her finally that he was staying away
purposely, in order to give her fuller
appreciation Of her position-so that
she might beat her wings against the
cage until exhausted.
Afternoon came, then evening, and
still Longorio did not return. Father
O'Malley could give scant comfort;
Dolores was positive trial.
Half distracted, Alaire roamed
through the house, awaiting her cap
tors coming, steeling herself for their
final battle. But the delay was trying );
she longed for the crisis to come, that
this terrible suspense might be ended.
At such an hour her thoughts natu-
rally turned to Dave Law, and she
found herself yearning for him with
a yearning utterly new. His love had
supported her through those miserable
days at Las Palmas, but now it was a
torture; she called his name wildly, pas
sionately. He knew her whereabouts
and her peril-why did he not come?
Then, more calmly, she asked herself
what he, or what anyone, could do
for her. How could she look for sue
cor when two nations were at war?
Night had come before she finally
gave up and acknowledged the hope
lessness of her situation. She had
fought bravely, but with darkness her
fears grew blacker. She was on the
verge of her first breakdown, when,
in the early, dusk outside, she heard
voices and the stamping Of horses
hoofs. The sounds were muff1ed by
the heavy wooden shutters she had
taken pains to close and bar, but they
told her Longorio had returned. Since
it was futile to deny him entrance, she
waited where she was, Old Pancho's
voice sounded outside; then there
came knock upon the door OF the
room IN which she stood.
"Come in," she said tensely.
The lieutenant thrust his head in.
and, removing his hat, announced.
''There is someone here to see Gen
eral Longorio on important business.
He says you will do

was flung back, and man strobe

the vases cannot possibly be upset.
Almost any small vase Of the nature
shown in sketch A can be used for this
purpose. Pieces of prettily colored
ribbon should be tightly tied round the
neck and again at the base of the vase,
leaving loose ends upon one side. The
ends can be securely tied in smart lit
tie bows round the post of the looking
glass. The vase can then be filed with
water, and the flowers prettily ar
ranged in it.

GERMANS NEAR
STORAGE DEPOT
Won Mackensen's Forces Are
Threatening Rumanian Fort
of Brila on Danube

The Runanian Danube port of
Braila, important as granary and oil
storage depot apparently is in m
minent danger from the converging
attacks of Field Marshal Won Macken-
sens forces on both sides of the
Danube.
On the westerly side of the stream,
ton protecting 1t has been pierced by
the Austro German forces, according
to to-day's German army headquar-
ters statement.
To the east, across the river in
Dobrudja the German and Bulgarian
forces which captured the Matchin
bridgehead are continuing their ad-
vance towards the town.
This forward movement, moreover,
threatens not only Braila but the town
of Galata, II miles to the north, the
capture of which would deprive the
Russians OF virtually their last hold on
the shores of the Danube west of the
Bessara bian boundary.
Won Mackensen's attacks on the
frontal line of the Sereth running
northwestward from Braila. to which
line the Russo Rumanian forces have
retired are progressing successfully,
according to Berlin, which reports the
capture of two additional towns in
the Rimnik- Sarat sector
On the northern end of the front in
Russia the German lines have been
subjected to attacks in the Riga
Dvlnsk district. The Russian offensive
here, centering in the vicinity of
Friedrichstadt, is apparently of an
important nature, Berlin reporting the
fighting still in progress.

LAW DOES NOT

Deputy Attorney General Kel-

CAMP HILL AND PENBROOK
Up to Legislature TO Provide
Necessary Funds; Law Is
Adequate

Replying to an editorial in the Tele-
graph of Wednesday evening, en-
dorsing Governor Brumbaughs plea
for State-aid for the construction of
State highways through boroughs,
William II. Keller, deputy attorney
general, writes the Telegraph that
there is a widespread misconception
of the ruling of the Attorney Generals
Department on this subject. 1t has
been generally understood that the de-
partment rendered to the late Com
missioner Cunningham an opinion to
the effect that the State could not ap-
propriate money under present laws
for highway construction through
borougks. This is not true, Mr.. Keller
says.
This Department never advised the
State Highway Department that the
State could not build roads or assist
In building roads through boroughs,"
writes the Deputy Attorney General.
ON the contrary, IL has consistently
advised the Highway Department that
under the plain provisions OF the Act
OF May 81, 1911, L, l.. 46S, the State
highway Department may, with the
consent of the several boroughs inter-
ested, reconstruct at the expense of
the Commonwealth, roads in boroughs
which form part of State highways,
and may assist in the reconstruction
of such roads within boroughs as do
not form part of State highways, pro-
Vided, they are main travelled roads, II

The trouble with regard to the
