DOCTOR" 1t was a woman's voice.
Mrs. Kennedy! Margarets chaotic
thoughts beat about the name. Then
from the blurred confusion came q
connected trend of events. The ex'
plosion at the houseboat, her frantic
efforts to drag Kenuedy's unconscious
wife to safety, and then-oblivion.
"First-hand material for real melo'
drama" Norwood was standing by the
bed smiling down at her whimsically
How soon can you write it,"
What happened?" she faltered, hei
mind clearing, for Norwood's brisk
wholesomeness was like a tonic.
Briefly he detailed the accident. He
had been on shore with Kennedy
when the explosion occurred. Had she
not dragged Mrs. Kennedy to the
deck it would have been impossible
10 have saved her. =,
OF his own bandaged hand he would
not speak, but Margaret knew he had
been the first to meet them as she lost
consciousness.
at wasn't an accident" he went on
grimly. at was dastardly attack on
Kennedy's life Boyle, a man he had
arrested for swindling, is out on bail
that was his revenge. But we must
not talk now--you've been through
enough for one evening" as reluct,
antly, with a warm, lingering hand
clasp he rose to go.
Mrs. Carter, the hotel housekeeper
prepared Margaret for the night, and
a little later she lay alone in the dark
ened room, staring out at the moonlit
trees.
If she had failed to save Mrs. Ken.
nedy? If she had tried-but failed
Her mind leaped on to visions of her
life with Kennedy. Then with a
sharp self-loathing she checked such
thoughts.
The next .Aorning Margaret's first
consideration was to get back to the
city--to avoid the awkwardness OF a
meeting with either Kennedy or Mrs
Kennedy. Dressing quickly she hur'
ried down for timetable.
But Norwood, meeting her on the
stairs, solicitious as to her complete
recovery, insisted that she breakfast
with him. Margaret was not insensi-
bic to his deepening interest, but
absorbed in her thoughts OF Kennedy
she shrank from any personal note.
Breakfast under way, they were
talking OF her series for his magazine,
when Kennedy strobe into the dining
room. Instantly thrilled and con-
fused by his presence, Margaret
color deepened betrayingly.
"Oh, Miss Warmers al incorrigl-
bic patient" laughed Norwood, as
Kennedy reproached her for having
left her room.
When later they strolled out to the
veranda, Mrs. Kennedy was there
Margaret had hoped to avoid this
meeting. 1t was an awkward mo-
ment. Her face famed at Mary S
warm praise of her heroism.
"Why we'll take you in the car!
We're starting right away" as Mar
garet spoke Of going back to town on
the first train.
With helpless dismay she glanced at
Kennedy. This long drive with Mrs.
Kennedy would be constrained and
painful for them both.
In half an hour they were ready to
start. Kennedy sat in front with the
chauffeur. The speed of the car
made talking difficult, and Margaret
was glad of the excuse TO be silent.
Refusing Mrs. Kennedy's invitation
to lunch, Margaret was driven to her
apartment. There she found, thrust
under her door, plain envelope ad.
dressed in a heavily linked scrawl.
Inside on a slip of paper was the
unsighted pernicious message,

Judging from the enthusiastic well
come the Five Kings of Melody are
receiving every evening at the popu-
lar Rome Vineyard, these exponents
OF music, mirth and melody are de-

The popularity of the Vineyard is

Attorney General Rules
How to Ship Liquors


Lincoln, May 5.-(Special.) What
disposition transportation companies
shall make of Intoxicating liquors
held by them has been settled by At
torney General Reed.
The attorney general says: "Sec-
ton II of the new law makes it I'M
lawful for any railroad company or
other carrier or person to deliver or
care for the purpose OF delivery any
intoxicating liquor to any person, ex-
cept pure ethyl alcohol to wholesale
druggists, retail druggists, scientific
institutions and hospitals, and wine
for sacramento purposes to whole
sale druggists, church goods houses
and to authorize representatives Of
churches and religious societies and
provides further that certain formal
tiles shall be observed even when de-
livery is made to the above described
class of persons and corporations. In
my opinion no delivery of intoxicat-
ing liquors shall be made by any
transportation company or common
carrier, except in conformity with the
above cited provisions Of the statute"
The decision applies to liquors
consigned from without the state to a
point within the state; liquors con-
signed from a point outside the state
to a point within the state before
May 1; intoxicating liquors consigned
from point within the state to some
other point within the state, and

PRINCE OF WALES TO
MARRY HIS COUSIN
Heir to British Throne Will Ask
for Hand of Princess Maud,
Says London News.
DUKE OF FIFE HER FATHER

London, May 5.-Prince Edward
Albert of Wales, heir-apparent to the
British throne, has answered for him
self the question whom he will marry,
according to the National News, a
London weekly.
The News says the prince has de-
cided he will ask for the hand of his
first cousin, Princess Maud, the
youngest daughter OF Louise Victoria,
princess royal, and sister to Prince
Arthur Of Connaught.
The young princess is fourteen
months older than the prince, who is
%. She has lived retired life, the
inseparable companion Of her mother.
Her father, the duke OF Fife, was the
closest personal friend of the late
King Edward.
The report Of the National News
contradicts the rumors current some
time ago that the prince had sought
the hand of Princess Yolanda, eldest
daughter OF King Victor Emmanuel Of
Italy.
London newspapers, perhaps inhu-
enced by the downfall OF the Russian
aristocracy and the American stand
against Germany's separate royal
caste, recently have been urging that
the old system under which kings
chose mates for themselves or their
heirs among the daughters of their
own nobility should be revived.

Australia First
To Employ Interned

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Sydney, Australia, April 24--Wil-
liam M. Hughes, the prime minister
Of Australia, in an address delivered
here the other day said:
1T will probably come as q sur
prise to the public to learn that Aus
tralia was the first of all the nations
to employ interned enemy vessels
and prizes in ordinary mercantile
work and to utilize the cargo space Of
transports. In both these matters
and in the policy Of controlling ship
ping generally Great Britain was glad
to follow the lead given her BY Aus
tralia.
Australia stands as the first coun-
try to organize the whole shipping
business Systematically while the 9TH
er nations had to reduce their exports
TO suit the reduction in tonnage. Aus
tralia was able last year to export
every ton OF produce for which there
was no local market, with the excep-
ton of wheat, and even OF wheat
there was greater quantity exported
than during any previous year. At
the end OF last year there was no
single product except wheat to 60 for

along the road from scissors to
Laon, over an extent OF nearly four
miles.

the 1000 taken yesterday.

captured 500 French. The number
OF British prisoners, the statement
says, has been increased to l,225.
On the Aisne front the artillery
fighting continues with tremendous
expenditure of ammunition.
Allies Holding Ground.
London, May Safer repulsing
German counter attacks from Fras-
ney southwark to the southern cor
ner of the Hindenburg line at Laon
and farther eastward, toward the
Champagne district, the British and
French troops in France are holding
the majority of the positions gained
last week and are making some small
progress against desperate resistance.
Some OF the German attacks we're
broken up by artillery and others
were driven off after hand to hand
infantry fighting. One Of the most
violent German attempts was an as
sault on Craconne and the positions
near it, taken by the French on the
previous day, but the assault broke
down with great losses. Progress was
made by the French east of Mont
Carnillet and by the British north OF
