Spanish Troops 1
Driven Back by
Morocco Tribes
Heavy Fighting Reported in
Tifermin — Moors Are
Equipped With Latest
Type of Arms,
Madrid, Aug. 19.—Spain has lost
140 men in one of the most san
guinary battles of the Moroccan war
at Tifermin, according to private
message received here from Morocco.
The firing, is continuing along/the en
tire battle front.
To the right and left of the battle
line the Spaniards are holding their
ground against the attacks of the
Moors, who are equipped with the
latest modern arms, but the center
"f the Spanish front is losing ground.
The commanding general, who ar
rived at the battle line, the under
secretary of war added, is doubtful
whether the Spanish troops will be
able to hold the ground, as the con
ditions under which they arc fight
ing are extremely bad. Nothing defi
nite has yet been learned ns.to the
losses.
"For some time past." the under
secretary said, "the enemy increased
liis pressure on our advanced posi
tions, culminating Friday in the cut
ting of communications' with Farja.
The commanding general ordered a
composite regiment of infantry, for
eign legionnaires and engineers {o re
establish the communications. The
Spanish forces dislodged the enemy
after sanguinary hand-to-hand fight
ing which has caused heavy Spanish
casualties. The Third battalion lost
most of its officers and 40 soldiers
were killed."

a situation which he said was fraught
with peril for Great Britain, the allies,
Europe and the world.
"Germany is almost at the brink
of disaster and theratened with revo

SYNOPSIS
Montinued From Yesterday.)
Nenle Crittenden, typical American
young man. has grown up in t niontown.
a village near New York city* luis been
graduated from Columbia university and
has taken a position with a lumber firm.
At college he fell in love with Martha
Wentworth, who declined his proposal to
wed. Martha is spending a year in tier
many with her father. Neale accepts
his disappointment philosophically and
bends his efforts toward success in busi
ness. In France. M arise Allen, about
Neale’s age. Il\es with her American
father, who is foreign, ugent for an Amer
ican firm. She ' is an accomplished lln
quist and pianist. Mirrise and her father
visit. Paris, w here Marise meets an Amer
ican girl. Eugenia Mllle, from Arkansas.
They go together to M. Vandover. Eu
genia’s Instructor in French. A rather
stormy scene takes place when Eugenia
cipresses dissatisfaction with the Instruc
tion she is receiving, and M. Vandovgr
tells her he will find another instructor
for her. Marise’s piano teacher, Mme.
de la Curva. urges ner to spend a year
studying In Rome with an old muslr mas
ter. ‘ Neale is in Italy on a Business and
pleasure trin nnd plans to sail for Amer
ica soon. in a Roman roof garden In |
meets Marise and is struck hr her beauty
und grace of manner. They learn that as
children in America they had known many
of the same scenes hi the country near
l niontow n.
This threw him into such a fright
that for an Instant he could think of
no escape and sat passive, borne
along to his fate by the unconscious
caiman. Then his wits came back
to him. he called out to the cabman
to drive to No. 75 ami not 120; and
having thus snatched himself from
destruction, preceived that they wtjrc
even then turning into the street. At
No. 75 he descended, hastily paid the
driver a good deal more than was
due him. stepped into the house, in
qulrled if a gentleman by the name
of Robinson lived there, professed
surprise and legret on hearing that
he did not and walked on, settling
his necktie nervously.
He told himself that lie was acting
like an Imbecile, but be could not
seem to consider that important fact
seriously. Having started in to do
anything, naturally he liked to put
it through. Everybody did. And lie
really,would like to know how under
the sun a dark eyed girl in Rome hap
pened to know anything about his
Great upcle Burton. Any one would
feel a natural human curiosity on
that score. And he had only five
days in Rome.
The idea that he had only five days
in Rome fell on him like a thunder
bolt, as though he had had no idea
of It till that moment. Had he said
he had only five days In Rome?
He had made the trip to the end
of the street and back perhaps a
dozen times, his pulse beating more
and more quickly, when from a dis
tifnce li" saw a lit lie door beside the
great onA open, and a tali girl in a
t'andlinr light gray street dress step
cut. But she was not al«ne. Hesid‘
her walked a man. a tall, stooped
eld man with a blued coat ami a!
wide-brimmed black felt hat. The I
girl's hand was on Iris arm. Neale
felt as astonished and grieved
though he had caught his beM friend
cheating him at cards. Jt had never
occurred to him that she might not
be alone! And yet he now remem
bered that she had said "we."
Phe gave him a "good morning. Mr.
Crittenden," thpt showed no surprise,
and with great tact began the talk
on the only basis which gave him a
reasonable claim On her time. "You
want to hear how somebody In Rome
knows about your great-uncle Burton,
don't you? I'm afraid it's like so
many other things that sound mys
terious and interesting. It will only
be quite flat and commonplace when
vou really know. It is no more than
this. When l was a little girl In
America, and then later when 1
was In college for a couple of years,
f was sent to spend my summers
in Ashley, visiting an old cousin of
my father's " Plie looked at him
from under her broad-brimmed blue
hat. with a mock-regretful air. one
eyebrow raised whimsically, and madei
,-v little apologetic gesture with hm
shoulders. "That’s all," she said, smil
ing and shaking her head.
"Oh. no, it's uot all!" Neale cried
to himself with Intense conviction.
Aloud he said, "But I want to hear
more about what kind of a place It Is.
You see. to tell the truth. I'd forgot
.ten that I had any Great-uncle Bur
j ton. And I never was In Ashley.
I Think of being In Florence and gel
ting a letter saying that a saw mill
In Vermont lias suddenly become
yours!”
"I should call if a most nice sort
of surprise,” remarked the girl with
a quaintly un English turn of phrase
which he had already noticed and
thought the most delightful tiling in
the world.
"And I’m on my way back to Amer
ica now to see about it.”
"What does that mean—to 'sec
about It?' ” she inquired.
| "Oh, sell It, of course."
Hhe was horrified. "Sell It? To
1 whom?"
"Oh. to anybody who'll buy it."
"Pell that darling old house, and
those glorious elms. Pell that beau
tiful leaded glass door, with the cool
white marble steps leading up to It.
and the big peony bushes, and the
syringas and that cold pure spring
water lliat runs all day and all night
in the wooden trough. Pell thnt home!
And to anybody!” Phe paused where
she was, looking at lilm out of wide,
shocked eves. Neale was profoundly
thankful for anything that would
make her look straight at him like
that
1 "But, you see." he told her, 1 1
I hadn't the least Idea about lliat darl
! Ing old house, or the elms, qr the
spring water or anything. I never
heard a word about it till lids min
die. 1 think the only thing .« for
I you to start in and tell me every
thing."
As she hesitated, professing with
an outward opening of her palms that
she really didn't know exactly where
to begin, he prompted her.
"Well, begin at the beginning. How
in the world do you get there'.’"
“Oh. if you want to know from
the beginning.” she told him, ”1
must tell you at once that you change
cars at Hoosick Junction. Always,
always, no matter from which direc
tion you approach, von must change
cars at Hoosick Junction, and wait
an hour or so there.” Seeing on his
face a strange expression, she feared
that he had lost the point of her
little pleasantry, and inquired, "But
perhaps it is that you do not know
Hoosick Junction.”
“Oh, yes, I know Hoosick Junction
all right.” He said It with' a long
»reath of wonder. "I changed cars at
.toosick Junction to get here!”
"Eh bien, and then a train finally
takes you from Hoosick Junction.
You sit pressing your little nose
against the window, waiting to see
the mountains, and when the first one
heaves up softly, all blue against
tfye horizon, you feel a h ppy ache
in your throat, and you look harder
than ever. And by and by some one
calls out ‘Shley!’ (you know he means
Ashley) and you take your little
satchel and stumble down the aisle,
and the conductor lifts you down the
steps and there is dear old Cousin
Hetty with her wrinkled face shining
on you. She only gives you a dry
little peck on your lips, quick and
hard, and says, 'Well, Mariae, you got
here, I see.' but you feel all over
you, warm, how glad she is to see
you. And you hug her a great deal
till she says, ‘there! there, hut you
know she likes it very much."
She was talking as she walked, asi
if her words were set to music, her
voice ail little ripples, and bright
upwaril and downward swoops” like
swallows Hying, her hands and arms
and shoulders and eyebrows acting a
delicate pantomime of illustration, the
pale, pure olive of her face Hushed
slightly with her animation. Every
time she Hashed a quick look up at
him to make sure he was not bored.
N'eale caught his breath. He felt as
though he were drinking the strong
est kind of wine, he had the Half
scitred, half enchanted feeling of a
man who knows he Is going to get
very drunk, and has little idea of
what will happen when he does.
‘ Yes? and then, and then?" he
prompted her, eagerly.
"Well, and then you get Into a
Jihacton. Oh, T don't suppose you
have ever seen a phaeton!" s
"Yes. I have," he contradicted her.
"I've driven my grandfather rnllo# in
one when I was a little hoy.”
"Oh. you know, then, about thb
*ort of you have perhaps lived In n

"Ah then, you can understand what
I tell you! she said with satisfac
tion. "And in the phaeton you jog
through the village, pant the church,
under the elms, with the white houses
each under its thick, green trees, and
such green, green grass everywhere—

which they were now walking.

What was it they were talking about?
Oh. yes. about selling out at Ashley.
"Oh, but I have other plans. I am
just about lo go to China."
“China! Why to China?"
Neale lost his head entirely. He
said to her rather wildly. "I hardly

I'd like ever so much to-tell you—

Kuhn Preaches
oil Friendship
Duty to Regard World as Jcmis
Did, Presbyterian Pastor
Asserts.
Rev. Albert Kuhn, pastor of Beth
any Presbyterian church, in his ser
mon yesterday spoke on "The Friend
ship of the World." He chose the in
junction of St. James. "Know ye not
that the friendship of the world is
enmity toward God?"
"Some people seem to think," said
Rev. Mr. Kuhn, “that St. James
meant that we should all withdraw
entirely from the world and avoid ail
possible contact with the world that
God made. •
"But if you read tht saying of St.
James in its setting in the fourth
chapter of the letter, you w ill see that
he refers to the special type of world
which contains people who give them
selves over to illicit pleasures. There
is one friendship which is commanded
and another which brings despair and
death.
"We are commanded to feel toward
the world as Jesus felt. H* loved all
creatures of God. But if the friend,
ship of the world usurps the position
belonging to God in our hearts, wc
are disloyal.
"This is a high standard to attain,
but it is the only true standard."
“Seet Doon’" Squelches ‘Em.
I,ondon, Aug. 19.—There is a new
cry in the house of commons. Before
the advent of the Scottish labor mem
bers anybody making a breach of
the rules was greeted with the cry.
"Order, order.” But the Soottish
members are not t.o polite. The
breaker of etiquette is now greeted
with the epithet "Seet doon"—and
the offending member rarely fails to.

Adele Garrison
“My Husband's Love”
The Reason Officer Fan-ell Changed
HI* Mind About Madge.
The request of the federal officer
did not surprise me in the least. I
hadJtnown from his searching look
at i* when Mamie wag talking of the
framed photograph which had so star
tled me. that he had appraised at its
title valuation my denial of any
knowledge of the pictured face. My
answer to him was prompt, for there
was no possible reason for my con
cealing the simple truth from him.
“1 am not quite sure, of course,” I
said, speaking in the same low tones
In wfilch he had couched his request,
"but T think the woman of the pho
tograph has the apartment next to
mine in New York. I have seen her
only two or three times, but I am
quite certain ^that she is the same
woman.”
He whipped out a little notebook.
"Name.” he said briskly.
1 told him.
"And address.'
I gave that also, but reluctantly,
•for, , remembering Dicky's strictures
upon our abode, I anticipated the
keen, almost suspicious look which
tlie officer gave me when lie had tran
scribed it.
"You say you live in the next apart
meiit at the same address?” he asked
slowly.
. "Unfortunately, yes, until I can
find more suitable quarters," I re
turned, making a mighty effort not
to show the perturbation that was
mine. “If you know the housing
situation in New York, you probably
csfh guess that I had not much choice
when I found it a few weeks ago.”
“No. I suppose not,' he said a bit
absently. •But that’s not the best
neighliorhood for quiet folks. Now,
Mrs. Graham, if youll just let me
have vour full name, and your bus
band'if business address, 1 won't need
to detain you longer, thank you."
I yielded to a purely feminine Im
pulse, and took my tiny badge of
service from its hiding place and
held It out to him.
"Perhaps this will be Jt better cre
dential,” I said.
He looked at it for a second, then
laughed shortly.
"This will teach me a lesson,” he
said. “I thought that garrulous
young tool who was here was talk
ing through his hat when he said
something about this. I beg your
pardon, Mrs. Graham, I am sure, for
my comments on your address. Of
course, you know all about it. Have
you a flashlight? No? Unfortunate
ly X must not leave here myself un
til we get this evidence away, but
the girl can go.”
He .swung open the door of the
inner room so quickly that Mamie,
kneeling with her ear against the
keyhole tumbled into an Ignomin
ious heap upon the kitchen flooil
"I thought that was what you
were up to,” he said sternly, as he
etooped and lifted her to her feet.
"But what you heard didn't do you
much good, now did it?”
“I didn't hear nothing,” she re
turned with defiant resentfulners.
and remembering the subdued tones
of both the officer and myself. I
realized that she spoke the truth.
"The better for you,” Officer Far
rell returned sternly. "Here,"
thrusting a flashlight into her hand,
"take this lady over to her home,
and then come directly back here.
Good night, Mrs. Graham.”
He bowed with courtesy, genuine
albeit a bit stilted, and then I was
outside, with Mamie holding the
flashlight so that Its lights Illumined
our pathway.
"The big stiff!" Mamie said angrily
when we were safely out of earshot.
"Why shouldn't I listen when he's
talking, and find out what he intneds
to do with us?”
I paid a mental tribute to the girl's
ingenuity. That her real reason for
listening had been to find . out
whether I really kite v anything co.
cerning her aunt. 1 was quite sure,
but I gave no htnt of mv convic
tion.
"You do not need to listen at doors
to find that out." 1 said a bit stern
ly. "He doesn't intend to do any
thing with you except to keep your
mother on the farm here until tbsy
have decided what to do with your
father.”
“But what are they going to do
with my father? ' she demanded.
"Xo one knows yet,” X answered.
"Do you know any influential peo
ple?” •
"You mean rich peoples?" In her
excitement she dropped back into
the vernacular.
I gave an involuntary little sigh.
"Yes. I suppose so." I answered
reluctantly.
"Two, three," she counted. "Two
our kind, one American."
"Then you had better go to see
them and tell them about your fs
there trouble," I advised. "I thin)
the officer will let you go if you sai:
him."
"Thank you," she returned grate
fully, and then she was scurrying
back across the road whlia I, ente. -
ing my own door, prepared to face
the interested quizzing of my moth
er-in-law.
