on his business without difficulty.?
See the point? .
A few days ago a rather bashful
youug woman went Into a store carryins
three chickens. She inquired the
price of chickens and at the same time
put them on the counter. The clerk
didn't knew the chickens feet were
tied, and asked if they would lay there.
She bit her handkerchief and said:
"No. sir: they are roosters."

Whitby and Hartlepool. A
distance of about 49 miles separates
the first named i?ort from the last.
This stretch of coast is about 200
miles from London.
British flotillas are engaging the
invaders and the fortress of West
Hartlepool, off the mouth of the river
Tees, fired upon simatluAHOETAOI
Tecs, fired upon the enemy.
Official reports do not reveal the
number of the attacking force, nor do 1
they say whether the seacoast towns
were fired upon simultaeonsly or one
after another.
Unofficial rei>orts reaching London
by telephone were confused and probably
exaggerated.
An eye witness at the seaside resort
of Scarborough estimates 30 shells
landed in the town, enveloped it in
smoke .and destroyed the Balmoaal
hotel, a number of houses .and the
railroad station
One of the Objectives of the attack
was St. Martin's church, which was
damagprf A woman behind the coun.
ter of a shop was killed and her husband
was wounded.
Mesages from Hartlepool say the
local gas works and the lumber yards
were set afire by the shells of the
German ships. The estimate of the I
casualties at Hartlepool, nine people
killed, probably is guess work and
greatly exaggerated.
Two German pvarships threw 30
shells into Whitby and wrecked several
houses, according to a mesage
from that place.
Thousands of people witnessed the
I tiring from Ren-ar. across Tee* Ray
from Hartlepool. according to a
message from that watering place.
Several tlennan ship* were engaged
and the fort tnortli of the mouth of
the river Teoos. replied . Redear re- '
ports also the hlief that British ships
engaged the hostile vosels.
Scarborough is wholly unfortified,
except for a small battery popularly '
believed to be absolute. Whitby also

a small fort, but is a large shipping

By A. TENNY SPRING.
(Copyright. 1914. by W. C. Chapman.)
"Sorry you have to go back to New
York, old man," said Fred Holmes to
Arnold RIttenhoure.
The two young men had boon
friendE at college and ever since.
They had been enjoying a fishing vacation
together when Rittenhouse's firm
summoned him oe a matter of urgent
business, which would cut three days
out of his holiday. However, Arnold
was to rejoin his friend as soon as
possible.
"I hone you won't find it too hot In
August," Holmes continued. "I used
to think New York made a good sum-;
mering place, with a cool apartment 1
and most of the people gone. Put I'
don't know that I want to see the city
again."
He sighed, with the despondency of
twenty-five. Fred was a young man
of means and could make his htfme
wherever he chose. He had had an -(
unhappy love affair, the details of;
which he had confided to his friend.
It was the case of an ambitious
mother in Europe set upon a title for (
her daughter, a dangling suitor with ,
the prospect of an earl's coronet,-and |
a young American eating out his
heart in loneliness.
"Honest, Arnold. If you could see
Rita I think you'd be as crazy abo-t j
her as I am," he said to his friend ]
"She's got a little sister, Reth, that'3
almost as stunning, too. Now Beth is
a regular nr.dcap. If only the mother
nau picicea nor ior i .:o marriage: uui
she took Rita to Fu ope and left Beth
behind. The old e:;rl can't last long,
and his brother, who's fifty if he's a
day, isn't good er.o'.rh to wipe Rita's
shoes!"
Arnold had rented a furnished apartment
for the sutn.u.T months through
an agent, the own< rs having gone to
Europe till September. He was glad
to have this refuge v hen he returned
"No!" Said the Young
to the broiling city. New
oppressively hot, r. .d the ap^^Hnt,
on Riverside Drive, \ as cool a^^Hrk.
A current of air blew up the ^^Hpn,
rendering it one of the most ht^Hble
places south o? the Adlrorj/fctfcJBB
Rittenhouse flur.r himself down In
his rented morri". 'hair that evening
with a sigh of rcF> f Not for him |th(
amusement of si :i; : in a hot theatei
listening to a cr: :'::n wheezing to
an almost empty '.- use! He knew
better than that. i'.e was goingj tc
cut his stay in Nv York as short! as
possible hy the i i? !o processi o!
sleeping as long r? was able. Am
the fiim had pru>ui-3d him an extr>
week.
He took off his coat and unbuttoned
his collar. Then, with natural perversity,
the collar button slipped out oi
his fingers. It would no doubt have
rolled under the bureau had that inot
been impossibly far away. There tori
It choBe the next best place; it rolled
under the bed.
"With an unscriptural remark, Rit
tenhouse got down on his hands and
knees and went after it. He found it
in the farthest corner. He was just
about to emerge when the door opened
and a young lady came in.
Rittcahouse wa3 struck dumb with
amazement. The young lady imme
diately proceeded to the mirror one
took a powder puff out of ner reticule
Rittenhoucc choked with horror.
The young lady started. She looked
around. Then, apparently reassured
that nothing had happened, she be
gan to unstrap a light suitcase which
Rlttenhouse now perceived she had
brought in wP'n her. She stooped over
it and picked up Fcnieibing. The next
Instant Rfttcnhouse perceived that he
was looking into the wicked eye of a
glittering revolver.
"Come out of there or I fire!" said
the young lady.
Rlttenhouse c m; cut. lie coram
bled to his feet On the chair lay
his telltale coat Doubtless it was
this and not the ehc ke that had startled
bis visitor.
"May I put on n.y (oat and button

attempt to move.
"No." said the young lady. "What
are you doing in my apartment?
Hands up! Don't you dare put thendown!"
' It's ".lino." said Rittenhouse humbly.
"1 rented it from Flood for the
season."
it was the you: : {J/'s turn to lock
surprised. "Indc. d!" > ha said. "Per
haps you ran tell n- the name of the
ov. ner."
"I can't." ad T "'<1 Rittenhouse.
"Flood said that tli 1; dy wns a snob
and wouldn't like it known that her
apartment had b?en rented, and so
the name was to !v Icc it quiet."
The young lady I.-, tpiied scorn fully.
"You can tell tha'. to the police," she
answered.
"Why not call i j 1 od." suggested
Rittenhouse.
"At his home?" ?..- uired the youns
lady. "Perhaps y r tot that it was
afv-r closing lio ; >r oflices. J
hardly tliink you on sufficiently
friendly terms ' i : im to know
where he lives." |
"I forgot tlie tin-." stuttered Rittenhouse.
"I am going to telephone thej pev j
lice, said the young lady. "You will j
stay quiet, or I shall fire."
She moved toward the telephone
and hesitated. "If-?if you are really
speaking the truth, and mother rented
you this apartment," she sal i, "I
will tivo you a chance to offer :iome
satisfactory?quite satisfactory t efer)
1
ence.""
"All my friends are out of town."
groaned Rittenhouse. The thought of
spending the night In a stuffy, un-j
clean police cell was not an enticing
one. "I don't know a soul. I was in'
the Adirondacks until this morning.'
I was summoned down by my firmBirch
& Landso?on business. Oh, I
If only Freddy Holmes were here' j
He'd get me out of this!" groaned the
young man.
A remarkable change came over
the girl's face. "Mr. Fred Holmes
of?of?where was he living last
spring? Quick!" she exclaimed
"At the St. Elizabeth," said Rittenhouso.
And then a light came to him.
"You don't mean to say that you are
Miss Rita ?er?I never learned the
last name." he continued. "Why,
Freddy has told me about you, and?
Oh. won't you let me put on my coat
and take you out to?talk over the
matter? We can get him on the longdistance
telephone, and?"
The revolver hesitated and was
lowered. Then the girl replaced It In
her ruitcase.
Half an hour later they were seated
opposite each other in a snug corner
of a famous restaurant not very far
from Grant's Totnb. Their acquaintance
had progressed as far toward
friendship as is possible, among wellbred
young people, In the space ol
half an hour. The rapidity of Its
progiession may have been the reaction
from the dramatic thrill of their
hostile encounter.
"Won't you forgive me for saying
that?" Arnold was pleading.
"I don't know that I can," answered
the girl. "To call mother a snob?"
"I didn't say she was a snob, Miss
Seftc-n"?he had by now learned that
much. "I said Flood said she was. 1
am sure she isn't."
"Why not?" demanded the girL
"Because of you."
"How me?"
"Because ? because?" stammered
Rittenhouse; and then, all at once a
chilling thought came over him. Here
he was chatting away with Miss Rita
Sefton like an old friend, while poor
Freddy, who loved her to distraction
was eating out his heart in the Adi
rondacks, all ignorant of the situation.
"I think I had better send a wire
to Freddy, telling him you are here,"
he said, after turning aside the ques
tion as gracefully as he was able
'You know," he added, "he has told
me all about you."
"Yes?" inquired the girl, a little
cold'.y. >
"And he will be so glad to know
that?that you haven't?"
She rescued him adroitly from this
dangerous ground. "That I haven't
married the earl?" she asked.
"Yc3. Forgive me. but, being Fred
dy's friend, I was naturally interested.
FVoddy is the best fellow in the
\world, Miss Sefton, and I hope you
will be very happy together."
"I am not going to marry Mr. Fred
Holmes," answered the girl, coloring
"I don't see why you should make
insinuations as that. I can't
help it if he is eating his heart out
for me, as I think you phrased it."
Silence. Rittenhouse was dumfound
ed. He did not see the sly glance
that the girl stole at him from under
her long lashes until?
' *TJntil ^lie raised her'hSKi and said'
softly: "I am not Rita Sefton."
Not Rita Sefton! At first Rittenhouse
only looked at her with so melancholy
a visage that her heart smote
her. Then he understood.
"You are Miss Beth!" he cried.
"Well, you've hit it at last." she answered.
"And I knew who you were
tbo moment you mentioned Freddy's
name. So we can let the telephone
wait until morning. And you can forgive
me for turning you out of your
apartment? You 6ee, I didn't know
mother had rented it. I was at Vnssar,
in my last term, and then I
stayed with friends at Huntington,
and?and mother simply said dhe had

IUotU tllU pill<.V/< & V/U'UV Up LW kV ?? U
because I had a letter from Rita."
"Announcing her engagement," said
Rittenhouse. "Poor Freddy!"
"No, telling me that mother is engaged
to marry the earl's brother,
and asking me to let Freddy knew
she loved him!"
That was en excuse for Rittenhouse
to shake his fair companion's hand
enthusiastically. And he held it a little
longer than was strictly necessary,
because?well, they were both so tielighi-^d.
and then, each saw the possib:1!*"
of something more parsmr'.'y
