creaciones en- grandes aventuras.
Las cosas mas bellas que haya
escrito han nacido de mi bestiahdad,
-ha dicho-. Seria mas iusto decir
que han brotado de las aventuras
mas emocionantes y mas arrebata-
doras de mi vida. La creacion de mis-
novelas, de mis- dramas, de mis- poe
sias, ha sido como ell eco de mi pa
sion por alguna muier famosa 0 de
gran talento; como una sacudlda
cuando he tornado parte en- un COM
bate, en- una gran exaltacion de ale
gria patriotica en- un motln; 0
bien, como un queiido de eXtenuacion
despues de un gran dolor.
Pero ha hecho de su quinta, un
lugar demasiado hermoso, demasiado
dulce suave descansado, para que
en- ella pueda experimental sensacio-
mes como esas. Mientras andabamos
lentamente por las veredas del jar

rrio que jamas habria legado hasta

Adam Y Eva no hubiesen sido expul-
sados de su Eden.
Sin EMBRACE, no quiero decir con
este, que los amos pasados en- su VI

algo que "viene del pasado". Ha ter

NADIA mas que una memoria de sus
impresiones en- los grandes momen-
tos de su vida, cuande volaba sobre
las lineas austriacas v perdio un
ojo, aparte de algunas otras igual-
mente .interesantes.
Ell otro libro Sc llama ''Madre e
Hiio' Es ell relate de su infancia

llamarse sacrilegio la falta de recato
con que llevaba el habito, quizas
aquellos complementos ostentosos son
para D'Annunzio algo asi como los

D'Annunzio no es un descreido,

BOAT BUSHES OVER DAM,s
 THREE WOMEN DROWNED
Boy Scouts Rescue Two Other Phila- delphia Campers at Graters-
ford, Pa.

Gratersford, Pa, Aug. 6.-Three late last night when their row boat was swept over the crest of a dam on the Perkiomen Creek near here and smashed on the rocks below. Two other women in the boat were saved by Boy Scouts and others camping along the banks of the swollen stream.
 The Boy Scouts plunged into the running water and were swept sever al hundred yards down stream before they managed to struggle ashore with one of the women, who was uncon- scious. Rescuers and rescued then be- came lost in the dense woods that skirt the banks and wandered ainless- ly four hours until found exhausted by a searching party.
 The second woman was pulled from the. creek almost mile from the dam. She had managed to grasp some drift wood and was swept along by the racing waters until her cries were heard by persons along the bank,
 Those drowned were Mrs Christine Diles, Miss Mable Geiges and Miss FL la Yoder. Miss Stella Yoder was res cued by the Boy Scouts. The. other woman rescued is Miss Catherine Zyieg.
 The five women were spending the weekend at a camp maintained by the Stetson Welfare Association All were employed at the Stetson Hat Factory in Philadelphia.

Hydrophobia Is Fatal
 After Three Months

Ridgewood. N. J. Aug. 6.--Stricken three months after collie, suffer ing from rabies. had bitten him, John stott a mechanic, died today of what hospital authorities diagnosed as hy- drophobia. A stray dog attacked
 Stott's pet last April. The collie, showing symptoms of rabies, bit sew eral other dogs in the community and that night sank his teeth into Stott's left hand. Later he ran amuck, biting women and children. The dogs hu- man victims were given the Pasteur treatment, except Stott. who waited three days before having his wound cauterized. He suffered no ill eff fects until last Tuesday when his left side became numb. The disease pro- gressed rapidly from then on. Stott died in the Isolation hospital.

FARM AND CITY LABOR
 UNITE ON MARKET PLAN
Seek To Unite City Laborer and Farmer Into Non-PoIitical 
 Organization

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Bringing farmer and city laborer into non-politica alliance to fight the high cost ot marketing their products, is the scheme of o. F. Lowrie, former presi- dent of the Montana Farmers society of Equity, who has opened small warehouse here.
 There are many farmers coopera- tive societies throughout the country, he explained, "and there are others in the city. Our purpose is to ally the farmer and the city laborer. We are handling, honey, potatoes and fruit for the farmers, and are sending fur niture and clothing back to them.
 We began with '50,00O pounds of Idaho honey The farmers out there have been discouraged. They have been focking to the cities. We told the city laboring men it was up to them to keep the farmers on the farm else they would come to the city and make greater competition for jobs.
 By forming an alliance with the South Chicago Labor Assembly, we obtained a warehouse and started to work. We have marketed apples from Montana, walnuts from Tennessee and potatoes from Minnesota. We are selling cigars, gloves and clothing to the farmers, the product of city cooperatives."
 We are not affiliated with any po- litical group" declared MT. Lowrie. We have no political ambitions. We want to form a nationwide alliance eventually to bring these two classes of cooperatives together in a way never before known"

counting on you to understand my motives. Monica's had deuce of a hard time up to now, and---I want to
 see her happy" Penningtons long fingers closed
 held them tightly.
 Thanks, he whispered huskily.
 It's uncommon good of you--and I appreciate it. It won't be long now, swore I'd wait until I'd got Chai- Hung by the heels-and, by heaven, --l mean to have him this time. You understand the most of me, Jack, but you've missed a certain side of my character that even wasn't aware of--until l met her. The white men that the cursed Chinaman has murdered in cold blood lie heavily on my soul. In queer sort of way, l feel directly responsible for every thing Chai-Hung has done since first came here. The feeling has grown upon me until it's become an obses- sion. I'm no longer the instrument of European Power, using my facial peculiarities and knowledge of dialects to wipe out Chinese faction: It's Pennington against Chai-Hung, his life or mine.' He paused for mo- ment, the muscles of his face twitch- ing. the points of his fingers pressed together. I've worked damned hard since came here. I've had a score of identities, I've posed as a coolie, a Dusur trader, a mandarian, a rick shaw nything-everything .. I've been in the hands of Chai- -Hung's mercenaries-and wriggled out of them again. I've held the bandit twice-and lost him because l was alone and the odds against me were too great His eyes blazed with strange light. But I've got him this time, Jack, because the luck is on my side at last"
 He broke off. trembling with emo- tion, and the Commissioner, observ- ing him curiously, saw that great beads of precipitation stood out on his

temples.
 Where is he?" he asked quietly. Pennington was clipping the stray ends of tobacco from freshly rolled cigarette.
 i "1n a lone hut in gully with a wall of solid rock behind him and as many of your agents as I could mus ter watching every possible ap- ! proach."
 Hewitt shook his head. --r l Still the persistent optimist," he said grimly. How many times have you drawn in your net-only to find that Chai-Hung has escaped it?" True, oh King! And yet, old son, I've got Chai-Hung He's down with fever and none of the followers who still stand by him dare shift him--if they could. A queer thing that, Jack, He who has successfully de- fled every effort of white civilization to entrap him, has all but succumbed to the common enemy of us all"
 The Commissioner bent forward until the box on which he sat tilted dangerously.
 How do you know all this?"
 I've seen nlIn. r Chinese Pennington blew out thin wreath of blue smoke and watched 1t as it ascended roofward.
 T secuted round until bribed one of Chai- Hungs men to take me to his lair It was a mighty tough proposition, and if the feller had guessed for moment who I was he'd thrown in his hand. I pitched a yarn that I had heard of the great bandit and had come all the way from Singapore to settle a dispute that had arisen as to whether such a man as Chai Hung existed at all. He took me to be a Chinese magnate with more money than sense, and consent ed--on the condition l went alone and unarmed. I wormed my way to the hut-and peered through a con- venient crack where the timbers had worked apart. Chaf-Hung. lay on sort of stretcher. saw enough to satisfy me that there could be no possible deception. There were dozen or so of his followers in the room and a pack of Chinese playing cards spread face downward on the table"
 T know" broke in Hewitt grimly. "They were drawing for the Yellow Seven. I'm not likely to forget the time when you pulled me out of tight corner, when they'd got me and were drawing lots for the pleasure of assassinating me. Go on,'

WRECK KILLS DRIVER
 OF TRUCKLOAD OF MEN
Two Others of Hartford Party Are Severely Injured When
 StreWn About

New London, Conn.,, Aug. 6.-While attempting to avoid rear end colli- sion with another machine, a one-ton automobile truck crashed into tour ing car at Westchester grade cross- ing on the Hartford-New London Military Highway yesterday morning and John Jasper, 27 years old, was killed when the truck overturned.
 Nine other young men were on the truck, bound from Hartford, where they lived, for Ocean Beach, this city. They were thrown to the roadway. Ambulances quickly responded from Hartford and New London and the injured were taken to , St Francis's hospital, Hartford.
 Only two of those hurt were found to have suffered severe injuries, the rest receiving only bruises and shak- ing up.
 The accident occurred on steep hill. The fact that the wreck took place on tn ecrossing of the railroad line between Colchester an Anniston, led to the report that several persons had been billed by a train. Coroner J. J. Desmond or Norwich, after talk ing evidence, allowed the body of Jas per to be removed to Hartford.
 The touring car was driven by Louis Solomon of Colchester. He was accompanied by his father and brother, but the three of them escaped without scratch. Their auto, however, was wrecked.

He shifted his position on the bare boards and felt for his pouch.
 "How's Monica?" he inquired pres ently, screwing up his eyes until they disappeared altogether behind those strange diagonal slits that had been directly responsible for the adjective that invariably preceded his name.
 The Commissioner smiled.
 Pretty fit I've got note for you in one of my pockets The lines of his handsome face hardened suddenly and he began stroking his black hair with the flat of his hand. Look here, Penn. When are you two going to get married? Monica's fretting her soul out because you're still proving about, carrying your life in your hand. If you were, actually the confounded idiot you appear to be sometimes, I wouldn't tell you all this I'd be the last man to tell any ordinary feller that sister of mine was miss ing meals on his account.

AGREEMENT ON COAL
German Coal Operators and Occupa- tion Officials Come to Terms on Shipments to Italy.


 Paris, Aug. 6.-The German coal operators in the Ruhr have come tc an understanding with the Franco Belgian authorities operating the Ruhr railroads under which the Ger mans will cease their opposition to the shipment of coal on reparations account to Italy over the lines oper- ated by the allies. .. ..y-
 This arrangement. which was an- nounced at the foreign office this morning, is regarded in French official circles as a sign of the weakening of prospective resistance to allied action in the Ruhr.
 Direct contact between German manufacturers miners and local au- thorities with French and Belgian of- ficials in the occupied regions is be- coming more and more frequent it was said by high French official. He declared this was simply a de- Velopment of the occupation and not, as had been reported in some sections of the foreign press, as the result of special authorization of the occupa- tion authorities by the French gov- ernment. ..
