The petty-cash box, like a sort Of per-

fast as it was filled.
The petty cash was the least of

Gradually her scheme enlarged. She

It was in human nature that the
partners should quarrel over a name

born. They spoke Of themselves as

Finally Daphne, claiming the ma

"Boudoirwear," and claimed the VIC

The end Of the matter was that when
Bayard left the telephone he was a

his chiefs hopes to the highest de-
gree, yet withheld the name of the
English agent. He explained that he
intended to take Leila's advice and
use his knowledge as lever for his
own advancement and Clay's.
Clay and Bayard sat down to make
figures, and the talk grew too tech
nical for the women to endure. After
hearing the first music Of Bayard and
Clay chanting in hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Daphne stole out I'M
needed and went up to her own room.
Mr.. Chivvis was sitting by a win
dow in mournful idleness. Mrs. Chiv-
Wis was stitching away at her en-
broidery. She was cheerful-for her.
She told Daphne that she had found
a market for her needlework; the
prices were poor but they were real.
She advised Daphne to get to work
with her.
Daphne had not the courage to say
that her brother and her betrothed
were about to become plutocrats. She
said only that she was very tired.

AMERICANS ASK Big
WAR CLAIMS AGAINST
central Powers
Many Claims Filed Against Germany
and Austria by American Citizens
and Concerns.

Washington, March s. Claims
which have been filed by American
citizens and concerns with the State
department against Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary total about $750,000, 900,
the State department announced to-
day. Additional claims are expected.
The claims are divided into two
classes, those arising from subma-
rine atrocities and those due to 9TH
er acts Of the Central Empires. The
State department for several months
has had large force engaged in COM
piling American losses.
Included in( the items comprising
claims growing out of submarine war
fare are losses alleged for death and
injury Of American citizens; losses
suffered in the destruction Of or dam
age to American vessels; losses suf-
fered in connection with American
cargoes, both in America and foreign
bottoms, and the loss of much valu-
able personal property other than car
goes. Losses due to other acts of Ger
many and Austria-Hungary include
destruction and requisition of Ameri-
can properties both in enemy territory
and territory occupied at various
times by enemy forces.
The State departments statistics
show that American citizens at the
outbreak Of war had about 100000
900 worth Of property in enemy coun-
tries and in those which have been I'M
der enemy occupation. Heavy losses
have resulted in connection with this
property as a result of the war mea-
sures taken by the Central Powers.

sediment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys often cause q dull
pain in the small Of the back, head
aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feel
ings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. There is no better recon-
mended remedy.
Maysville people endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills.

peace, 1898 East Second Street,

Of the bladder and annoyance from
