Mr.. Hedges introduced himself. feeling
horribly foolish In the presence Of the
lovely serving girl, and wishing she
would take herself off. But she lin
gered effectively, whispering softly:
"Shall I lower the window, mad
anne? Is 1t too cool? Your bottle,
madame!"
And the guest rubbed his hand
swiftly across his face to hide the
slight twitching of his lips.
Then the model maid disappeared,

girl strolled In, smiling inscrutably
into the eyes that turned so quizzically
toward her. For time all went well.
The chaperoning aunt occasionally
lifted a dainty cologne bottle to her
sensitive nostrils, and the daughter Of
the house carried out her girlish VI
vacity to the point of utter WEAKNESS.
Connie said little, but her soul ex-
banded with the foretaste Of triumph.
Dinner is served, madame" said
the soft voice at the door, and they
all walked out sedately. Carol ad-

the fires of victory.
"Ah, Connie, I have hopes Of you

and bring me a bowl of soup, my

And then came laugh FER, full and

Even Mr.. Starr realized that. The

And his devotion to his fathers col

him regularly for a long time after
and came westward now and again to
renew the friendship so auspiciously
begun.
"But you can't call him problem,

ROY AND CHAULNES CAP
TURED BY GENERAL
FOCH'S FORCES
ADVANCE
Several Positions South of the
Somme River Captured by
Haig's Men.

With the Allied Forces in
France, August 2S. - Once
more General Foch has shift
ed his major operations and
as a result the Germans have
been hurled back for a dis
tance of seven and one-half
miles at some places.
The French armies operat-
ing on both sides of the Avre
river were chosen for the
newest stroke and they have
swept forward in sensational
fashion. Two great German
strongholds have fallen in the
past "a hours. They were
Roye and Chaulnes. In adj
dition the French war office
announced today that 2S other
towns had been won back
from the Huns in that time.
The French line has been
advanced north of the Avre
almost to a line running from
Nesle to Dempierre, taken by
the British yesterday.
On the British front further
successes were announced to-
day. North Of the Somme the
great part Of Trones wood has
been wrested from the Ger
mans. Foucacourt, which has
been strongly held by the
Germans, was captured and
the British army has pushed
ahead on the Arras- Cambria
road, reaching the outskirts
of Haucourt, Benny and Boiry-
Notre Dame. North Of the
Scarpe the Germans managed
to force the British back
slightly by strong counter at
tackS.
The advance of the French
last night is most important,
as they are now within about
two miles of the Somme river.
They may soon be in a posi-
tion to cut off the retreat of a
major part of General Won
Boehm's army, which has
been clinging to Noyon and
the territory in that sector.
