British and French armies. after hard
fighting, have drawn more closely
their lines in the investment of the.

the Germans in defense and in coun-

cept to impede the progress of the
men of the armies of Field Marshal
Haig and General Debeney.
In Macedonia the Bulgarian and

General Wrisberg Says Disaster on
West Front Due to Surprise Attacks.

Amsterdam.-Genera Won NriSberg
addressed the main committee of the
reichstag on behalf of the minister OF
war. He explained, according to
telegram from Berlin. that the failure
of the German offensive on the west
ern front was due to the failure OF the
German army to surprise the entente
allies and the necessity of assuming
the defensive on the arrival of the
English home army in the theater OF
war; to the employment of coloreu
troops and to the intervention OF
American divisions.

CHAPTER XIX.
The Home of CAROLYN Nav.

1t was some distance from the rail-
road station to the block on which
Carolyn May Cameron had lived all
her life until she had gone to stay
with Uncle Joe Stage. The child knew
she could not take the car, for the con-
ductor would not let Prince ride.
She started with the dog on his
leash, for he was not muzzled. The
bag became heavy very soon, but she
staggered along with 1t uncomplain-
ingly Her dlsheveled appearance,
with the bag and the dog, gave people
who noticed her the impression that
Carolyn May had been away, perhaps,
for a "fresh-alr" vacation, and was
now coming home, brown and weary,
to her eXpectant family.
But Carolyn May knew that she was
coming home to an empty apartment
to rooms that echoed with her moth
er's voice and In which fingered only
memories of her fathers CHEEKY spirit.
Yet it was the only home, she felt,
that was left for her.
She could not blame Uncle Joe and
Miss Amanda for forgetting her.
Aunty Rose had been quite disturbed,
too, since the forest fire. She had
given the little girl no hint that pro-
vision would be made for her future.
YEARLY, Carolyn May travelled
through the Harlem streets, shifting
the bag from hand to hand, Prince
pacing sedately by her side.
Were getting near home now, Prin-
cey," she told him again and again.
Thus she tried to keep her heart up.
She came to the corner near which she
had lived so long and Prince suddenly
shifted at the screened door of a shop.
"Of course, poor fellow That's the
butchers" Carolyn May said.
She bought a penny afternoon pa
per on news stand and then went
into the shop and got a nickel's worth
of bones and scraps for the dog. The
clerk did not know her, for he was
new man.
They ventured along their block.
The children all seemed strange to
Carolyn May. But people move so fire.
Quently In Harlem that this was not
at all queer. She hoped to see Edna
or some other little girl with whom she
had gone to school. But not until she
reached the very house itself did any
body hail her. ---

Yes, Carolyn May heard it on all
sides. Everybody was talking about
the affair of Uncle Joe and Miss
Amanda.
Every time she saw her uncle and
her pretty LADY, together the observ-
ant child could not but notice that they
were utterly wrapped up in each other.
Miss Amanda could not 90 past the
