she said. "NOw. think againl"
He did think, Of thirty thousand pos

that stood up prominent among them

likely one.

"Why didn't you take it with the

out. "Take it now. I don't want it,
She accepted it and laid it on the
mans bronze armor. Then, however,
she resumed it and played with it.
''Look again!" she said. "Think and
look again!"
He looked, and he knew now. But
he still preferred that she should tell
him, and his lips shut tight.
"Can you guess why I changed my
mind about you-wise MANI"
She looked from him to the man on
the bed and back to him again. Hav-,
ing solved the riddle, King had leisure
to be interested in her eyes, and
watched them analytically, like jew
eler appraising diamonds. They were
strangely reminiscent, but much more
changeable and colorful than any he
had ever seen. They had the battling
trick of changing while he watched
them.
Having sent man to kill you, why
did I cease to want to kill you? In
stead Of losing you on the way to kim

you after you reached here? Why did

"Look in it and then at him" she
ordered.
But he did not need to look. The
man on the bed was not SO much like
himself as the woman was like her,
but the resemblance seemed to grow
under his eyes. King was the taller
and the younger by several years, but
the noses were the same. and the
wrinkled foreheads; both men had the
same firm mouth; both looked like
Romans.

FoCH DRIVES WEDGE
Threatening German Bases at Ghent, Bruges in Belgium and Lille
 in France.

Paris, Oct. 15.-Marshal Foch in hiS new stroke in Flanders is driv- ing a formidable wedge between the German bases of Bruges and Ghent. in Belgium, and Lille in France. The effective manner in which King Albert carried out his attack Mon- day has further widened the wedge, which threatens to split the German forces in two unless the enemy falls back speedily on a wide front.
 The British army of General Plum CT on the right wing of the allied advance now is only three miles from the important >l,ailway june ton of Courtrai. Once the allies master the line Wervicq-Menin-Cour- trai which probably will be only a matter of few hours, the German situation, at Lille will be the most perilous and that at Ghent not much better.
 The French capture of Roulers, the important railway junction east of Y,pres, Is a serious loss to the Ger mans. Although the Belgian railway system Is dense enough 10 provide alternate routes to certain extent. the allied entrance into Roulers on the first. day of the offensive is bound to affect the German commu nication system most unfavorably.

From Disc to Mouse In Flanders Vigorous Blows
 Prove Great Success.
FRENCH GO ON IN
 THE LAON SECTOR
American Offensive West of the Mouse Is Renewed
 With Big Gains.

(Early Associated Press Summary)
 In Flanders and from the Disc to the Mouse the allied troops continue their vigorous blows for important 6a,ns. As the French press on in the Laon-Aisne region, the allied offensive in Belgium and the Ameri- can operations west of the Mouse are being renewed today with success.
 Smashing their way through the network of railways ill western Fland- CTS, the Belgian, French and British forces under King Albert are now within two miles of the important rail center of Courti,ai. The allies also dominate with their suns the railroad running from Lille to the Belgian coast by way of Courtra1 and thus hamper, if they have not cut off, all communication between Ostend and Lille.
 The German resistance in Flanders appears to be only for the purpose oi delaying the allies until the eva ouation of Belgium can be completed The enemy is reported to be evacu- ating Ostend and to be sending large boat loads of troops away from the coastal region.
 Between the Disc and the Argonne the French are pressing the enemy hard and giving him little chance tc dig in should he he desire to do SO East of the Disc the French are within a half mile of the Serre along most of its length and have advanced between five and six miles from Laon. Even the Aisne is fast being lost to the enemy as a means o1 defense. The French now threaten Rethel, having captured Nanteuil-Sul Aisne, two and one half miles west of Rethel and about the same dis tance east of Chateau Porcein. Keeping step with the American operations east of the Argonne, the French are moving forward west ol the forest. West of Grand Pre-, Ge. Eeral Gouraud has moved north o1 the Aisne and taken the towns o1 Olizy and Termes, strengthening out a bulge in the allied line.
 Between the Argonne and the Mouse the Americans are battling forward through the German wire entagle- ments. Tanks have been brought up especially in the region west of Ro- magne.
 As on Monday. the Germans are re sisting stubbornly, but satisfactory progress is being made.
