emotion.
Mooney was convicted in February,

w WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Military
men here are without sufficient infor-

views as to what developments are 10
be expected, In spite OF the wide front
OF attack and the large forces used
by the enemy. there SIN was doubt in
tho mindo Of most officers tonight
whether real thrust towards Paris
by new route was In progress. or
whether the blow is only bloody
strategic move TO pave the way for
later renewal of the effort to crush
the British army and split the allied
line near Amicns.
On the basis OF accounts so far re-
ceived the opinion prevailed that no
substantial success had yet rewarded
the German effort. In the north,
around Locre he has evidently suffered
complete rcpulse. Whatever part
that operation was to play in the
stragetic designs OF the German gen
eral staff. 1t has failed

transpiring bey<d the fact that the
crossing OF the .Aisne had been forced
by the Germans. Where great eau
tions and few words OF any positive
nature mark the official communiQue,
observers here have been led by ex-
periencc to fear that greater inroads
than are announced have been made
by the enemy. The fact that the Ger
man statements have made no striking
claims OF successes. however. is taken
as evidence that the struggle is indie
cisive as yet. That would be to the
advantage of the Franco British forces,
since it would mean that they had
sustained tho first powerful enemy

CHAPTER ".

And the years passed, and Marx Wallace grew grayer and older, and more set and dispiritcd, with long al- tern&ting intervals of resignation, when he took life as he found il and was satisfied. But he always came out of these into brief periods of un- rest, With the sense that he had awak- ened from some lethargy that was damning his soul as the alkai and the winds of the plains had scanned his face and taken the last particle of his youth away.
 Now in Texas, now in Arizona, now in some lonely border post in the freezing Northwest, he remained cap tain. He had no friends in Washing ton. In time-in long time he would reach his majority, no doubt, to be re- lieved soon after, and waddle, with stout old majors of his own age, into ornate clubs in army centers not quite so far removed from civilization. He looked upon this prospect with ironical patience, and now and then asked himself the unanSwerable question why he had remained in the army.
 Eleanor was grown up and domicied permanently in Colonel Towards town house, and her letters had grown more infrequent and perfunctory, until their arrival became q quarterly affair in- stead of a monthly event, and not al. ways that, either.
 And by and by the feeling came over Mark that if ever he were to see her again there would remain no con- mon link between them. From doubt ing his future he had come to doubt himself. He doubted whether the des- ert life had not blunted him, blunted his finer instincts, and made him unfit for social life-certainly rendered him unfit for the guardianship of young girl.
 But that nc had rclinQuished to Col onel Howard-grudglngly but uncOm- promisingly. Never in any of his let ters did he put forward the shadow of his former claim.
 Then, swiftly, and unexpectedly chance turned and beckoned him.

Old Enqiish Furniture.

That fine old furniture is yet found in Britain in many unexpected places is said to be largely due to the stir ring up of the country that was given by the great exhibition at London of 1851. This was soon after the devel- opment of the railway system in Eng land, and there flocked to London. a large number of squires and their wives. A new world had opened to the country danes. The new things had wonderful fascination for them. On returning home they got rid of much of their old furniture and bought new. Much of the old furni- ture found its way to secondhand shops, and was sold to poor folk. who could not afford to buy new. This ac- counts for the finding today of much good old furniture in small houses in provincial towns and among country people.-Indianapoli News.
