The Bulgarian plea for an armistice
was in response to antiwar agitation
among the people, the correspondent
says in his dispatch. The correspond
ent also heard that king Ferdinand
himself played an active role in the
peace move until Germany cOuntered
his move.
King Plays big Part.
According to this report the king
took the initiative some time ago in

that his Whereabouts and actions
since he returned have been mys-
terry.
4 solution Of the mystery is said
to be that the Germans in Bulgaria
realized that the king was turning
against them and they virtually kept
him a prisoner. The Germans. how
ever, were pOwerless against the pop
ularity Of premier MalinOff. who
while Bulgaria's policy was undecided
opposed an alliance with the central

Il like detective story and will disap

"scrapped' in order to elude lover the

they were more unconventional in fact than
In spirit, and what happened to them has
been terrible lesson to us and should be

wake you are more than likely to find
yourself in most compromising position.
Jim and Zoe, as soon as they realized
their predicament, decided TO make the
best of it, that is, they decided not to
turn back but to go right on to South
America. They had no way of knowing
that the propeller would desert them in
midoeean. Surely no one could blame

seemed no possibility of their being saved,
can you blame them for anything? Two
people who could brand their wrists with

Just as we feared all along, they are

"Many Mansions"
CUSAN WARDER MCCONNELL

CUSAN WARDER MCCONNELL
~ has made a real character of Per-
dita in Many Mansions, and has given
us thrilling tale of how she and Fate
fought for the upper hand and how Fate
with one of its unexpected kindly gestures
finally triumphed. To begin with Perdita
was set in an atmosphere so uncOngenlal
as to be smothering; born with passion
ate love of color and freedom and forced
to live in gray houses among grayer COM
panions, she yet managed to retain most
of her spirit and all of her dreams, best
loved among them that of the House.
"The swift drop downward through the
soft darkness of dreams was like descent
among the feathers of black wings. Down
ward, far, far below them lay the train.
The House shone out at the end
of long green lane. There were pea
cocks preening in the sun, fountain
splashing in with its jewelled spray, while
wide white steps led upward to the open
door. And somewhere from
behind the hedge or in the upper cham
bers came the happy voices of the chill
dren."
Early in life Perdita learned the distin
gushing marks Of aunts and Great-Aunts.
"An aunt showed soft spot for you even
when administering the conventional, I'M
meaning justice of the adult world; but
The sun., 1918-11-17

Great-Aunt made you feel thin and wrong
and abject. She saw no excellence in the
heavy masses of your black name, apt,
alas, to come unbranded in the August
Presence; a Great-Aunt looked at you and
you felt the chill winds of all the world
blowing about your long, thin, awkward
legs"
1t was an Aunt who took Perdita away
from the gray houses to live with her IN
gloomy New York boarding house
which she attempted to run. In failing
she dragged the child through poverty,
loneliness, disgrace, and often actual want.
But all the while the dreams and the old
love of color lived in the heart of the child,
and the color was her salvation, as it
secured position in the Office of an lnte-
riOr DecoraSor, identifying other peoples
homes, which was next to having one of
her own. The hardest thing that Perdita
had to bear during these years was Aunt
Alice's hopeless love affair with an erst-
while boarder which put out her poor,
frail life before it had done.
1t would have taken worse trials than
these to crush Perdita's resilient heart.
When the pitifully few dollars that Aunt
Alice had managed to leave her and a
vacation came together she made her first
step toward happiness and found it IN
Terence Kildare. But the happiness did
not endure long, and for time it looked
as if Peter Rintool would ruin it alto
gether, as he probably would have had not
Fate, disguised as Celia Maiden, taken
things sharply in hand.
Miss Mcdonnell never dsappoints US
from the first afternoon, when Perdita,
"odd little gnome with the spooky eyes
like splendid topaz which looked as much
astray in her face as jewels would have
looked upon her lean and grubby little
hands," lay in the grass and looked for
the way TO her House, until one day,
grown to beautiful womanhood, she let
her head drop upon Terence's shoulder,
shutting out the light.
"Was that the throb of Terence's hearth
1t sounded not unlike the little engine of
the underground" But as Terenee's heart
and the Underground both led to the
House, it didn't make any difference
which it was, so we leave them regretfully
to their long, long dreams.

who cares whether the long arm of CO.
incidence repeatedly overreaehes itself in
establishing a plotf Certainly not the
average reader of fiction, who, far from
considering the novel from the point of
technique, asks only to be diverted from
his own more or less bumdrum existence
to the freer atmosphere of he books
pages.
M BrGre and GdllGHt Gentleman, by
Robert Watson, is story of the type that
the cynic might shoot full Of holes should
he choose to regard it from the angle of

ever, that virtually every one who reads
the book will vote it eorking good story.
And in this their judgment will be per-
fectly sound. 1t is.
An English younger son is the narrator
and incidentally he is a most likable
young man. A row with his caddish elder
brother over a scrape of the latter's leads
to fantastic but deadly duel in which the
heir is worsted Hearing his irate fathers
command, "Gow George, the younger son,
complies with alacrity. Attired in tweeds

QUICKSILVER INCREASED.

The domestic output of quicksilver il
{ 1917. according to statistics compiled by

survey, department of the interior, was
36,35l TASKS of Is pounds each, valued
/ at the average quoted market price at

about S3,S57 900. The output was there
( fore the greatest in quantity since 1888
and the greatest in value since 1875. The
/ production in 1916 was 20,932 TASKS, so
that the increase in 1917 was GALS TASKS.
The productive states were California,
Texas, Nevada. Oregon and Arizona.
The output of California in 1917 was
24.25l TASKS, against 2l,045 TASKS in
1916. Quicksilver prospecting and min
ing, stimulated by war demands and ia
vorable prices, have been active in Cali
fornis for the last two years. In 1917
the Abbott mine became a producer, with
prospects of considerable increase in
1918. The Helen mine continued produc-
tion, and the Sulphur Banks made gains
that are likely to be continued in 1918
The Big Iniun was a new producer The
Patriquin continued production, and the
output of the Bella Union and La Joya
i
yielded slightly more than in 1916 and
remained the largest producer in Amer
lea. The Cambria was idle but the
Oceanic increased its output The New
Almaden and New Guadalupe both
showed material gains. The St Johns
again made a large output The Culver
Baer. Great Eastern, Cloverdale and Soc
rates all made gains. those of the first
three being notably large.
The production of Nevada decreased
from 2.las TASKS in 1916 to ole TASKS in
1917. the decrease having been due in
part TO loss of the Goldbanks plant by
fire and in part to decreased production I
