Stephen Livingstone (.ailed so impatiently that the maid obeying his summons hesitated on the threshold. "What is it?" he ask ed. "If you please, sir, there's a gentleman on the telephone would like to speak to Miss Long," the girl announced. "Bother the telephone!" Mr. Liv ingstone exclaimed. "Can't you take the message, Marie?" "Xo, she cannot. Stephen," the mistress interfered. "That's all right, Marie. Miss Long will come at once. Ask the gentleman to hold the wire." When the maid had left the room, Mrs. Livingstone explained. "It is doubtless Gerald, Stephen. It would hardly do for a servant to convey his message to his betrothed. She smiled, but there was no more warmth in the smile than in the sunshine on a clear winter day when the thermometer is below zero. "Hun on to the telephone, Cynthia," she added. "I know your sweetheart is waiting impatiently." Cynthia hurried from the room without replying. For the moment she actually wanted to be alone with Gerald, not because she loved him, but that she might tell him of her present predicament and ask his ad vice. "What is it?" she called into the telephone. "Is that you, Gerald?" It was not Gerald's voice that an swered. Instead it was the voice of her father's lawyer and old friend. Darius Blake. "I am in town for to-day," he told her. "I would like to have a chat with you. Can you meet me this afternoon at the Waldorf and take a cup of tea with me? And might I suggest that you say noth ing to anyone about it? I received your uncle's letter and have replied to it. I said nothing of coming to New York. P.ut as I have to be here on business of my own I thought you might arrange to see me." "Oh, yes, indeed. I would love to!" Cynthia assured him. Then, after telling Cynthia just where to meet him, he rang off. Cynthia stood uncertain as to what, to do. She was determined to meet Mr. Blake and to have a frank talk with him. But what excuse could she make should her uncle and aunt question her? They would not like her evasions of direct questions. An inspiration seized her, and she called Daily Dot Puzzle " 31 " • * 93 31 • . 29 * 34 26 *3o *.*36 • So • 2.7 26 °o # 3Q *37 25.

Why could she not learn to love him as well as admire and like ■ him? An Invitation The answer to this question crept t to the threshold of her conscious ness, but she banished it as soon as she recognized a pair of familiar and very blue eyes. "Well, my dear, you were gone a long time," her aunt observed as Cynthia returned to the morning room, where she had left the trio of her relatives. "Did you have a sat isfactory conversation with Ger- I aid '.'" "Yes. thank you," Cynthia re sponded. "I am to meet him down | town late this afternoon, and he is j to bring me up home."

War Department's Plan For Draft Wins House W aahlngton, April 13.—The War Department's plan Tor basing draft quotas on the number of registrants in Class 1, instead of upon popula tion, was sustained in the House last night after an all-day fight over a it-solution passed by the Senate au thorizing the change. Opponents of the plan championed an amendment by Representative Shallenberger, of Nebraska, to base the quotas on to tal registration and liability to mili tary service, which was defeated, 244 to 118. Another amendment by the Nebras ka member, directing that credits on quotas be given for all volunteers in the military or naval service since April 1, 1917, was adopted, 292 to 63. When a final vote on the resolution was about to be taken, Representa tive Harrison, of Virginia, proposed an amendment specifically to exempt faim labor, and action went over un til to-day. Thirty Boys Fire Victims in Oklahoma Hospital By Associated Press Norman, Okla* April 13.—Fire early to-day destroyed a ward at the state hospital for idiotic children. Thirty boys were burned to death. Dr. D. W. Griffin, superintendent of the hospital, said the death list might be greater than thirty.

UNITED STATES SENATOR DIES New Iberia, La., April 13. —Robert F.

Senator Broussard was known in every parish of Louisiana •as "Cousin pob." He was 54 years old. "Outwitting By Lieutenant Pat O'Brien (Copyright, 1918, by Put Alva O'Brien.) My condition Ini proved during the fnext two (lays, and on the fourth day of my captivity I was well enough to write a brief message to my squadron, report ing that I was a prisoner of war and though as a matter of fact I was never so depressed in my life. I realized, however, that if the message reached my comrades it would be relayed to my mother in Momence, 111., and I did not want to worry her more than was absolutely necessary. It was enough for her to know that I was a prisoner. She did not have to know that I was wounded. I had hopes that my message would be carried over the lines and dropped by one of the German Hying olfkers. That is a courtesy which is usually practiced on both sides. 1 recalled how patiently we had wait ed in our aerodrome for news of our men who liad failed to return, and 1 cculd picture my squadron speculat ing on my fate. That Is one of the saddest things ccnnected with service in the R- P. C. You don't care much what hap pens to you, but the constant cas ualties among your friends are very depressing. You go out with your "flight" and get into a muss. You get scattered, and when your formation is broken up you llna 11 y wing your way home alone. Perhaps you are the first to land. Soon another machine shows in the sky, then another, and you patient ly wait for the rest to appear. With ift an hour, perhaps, all have shown up save one, and you begin to spec ulate and wonder what has happened to him. Has he lost his way? Has he land ed at some other aerodrome? Did the Huns get him? A Time of Su#pene When darkness comes you realize that, at any rate, he won't be back that night, and you hope for a tele phone call from him telling of his whereabouts. If the night passed without sign or word from him, he is reported miss ing, and then you watch for his cas ualty to appear in the War Office lists. One day, perhaps a month later, a message is dropped over the line by the German Plying Corps with a list of pilots captured or killed by the Huns, and then, for the first time, ycu know definitely why it was your comrade failed to return the day he last went over the line with Ills squadron. T was still musing over this melan choly phase of the scout's life, when an orderly told me there was a beau tiful battle going on in the air. and lie volunteered to help me outside the hospital that X might witness it, and I readily accepted his assistance. That afternoon I saw one of the gamest fights I ever expect to wit ness. There were six of our machines against perhaps sixteen Huns. From the type of the British machines I knew that they might possibly be fvonv my own aerodrome. Two of our machines had been apparently picked out by six of the Huns and were bearing the brunt of the fight. The contest deemed to me to be so unequal that victory for our men was hardly to be thought of. and yet at one time they so completely outma neuvered the Huns that I thought their superior skill might save the c'ay for them, despite the fact that they were so hopelessly outnumbered. One thing I was sure of—they would never give in. Of course, it would have been a comparatively simple matter for our men, when they saw how things were gcing against them, to have turned their noses down, landed behind the German lines and given themselves up as prisoners, but that is not the way of the R. F, C. A battle of this kind seldom lasts many minutes, although every sec ond seems like an hour to those who participate in it, and even onlookers .suffer more thrills in the course of the struggle than they would ordi narily experience in a lifetime. It is apparent even to a novice that the User's fate is death. Of course, the Germans around the hospital were all watching and root ing for their comrades, but the Eng lish. too, had one sympathizer ir that group who made no effort to stifle bis admiration for the bravery his countrymen were displaying. Kour Crush to Enrtli The end came suddenly. Four ma chines crashed to earth almost simul taneously. It was an even break— two of theirs and two of ours. The otters apparently returned to their respective lines. The wound In my mouth made it <ir possible for me to speak, but by means of a pencil and paper I re quested one of the German officers to find out for me who the English officers fwere who had been shot down. A little later he returned and handed me a photograph taken from the body of one of the victims. It j was a picture of Paul Raney, of To ronto, and myself, taken together! Poor Raney! lie was the best friend I had and one of the best and gam esf men who ever fought in France. It was he, I learned long after, who, when I- was reported missing, 1 ati checked over all my belongings and sent them back to Kngiand with a signed memorandum—which is now in my possession. Poor fellow! He little realized tnen that but a day or two later he would be engaged in hit last heroic battle, with ine a help less onlooker! The same German officer who brevght me the photograph also dtew a map for me of the exact spot where Raney was buried In Flanders. I guarded it carefully all through my subsequent adventures and finally turned it over to his father and mother w hen I visited them in Toron to to perform the hardest and sad dest duty I have ever been called upon to execute—to confirm to them in person the tidings of poor' Paul's death. The othor British pilot who fell v. as also from my squadron and a n an I knew well—Lieutenant Keith, of Australia. 1 had given him a pic ture of myself only a few hours be fc re I started on my own disastrous flight. He was one of the star pilots of our squadron and had been in many a desperate battle before, but this time the odds were too great for him. He put up a wonderful fight and he gave as much a he took. * (To Bp Continued) Allies Silent on Emperor's Letters to Prince Sextus By Associated Press Pari*, April 13. —The letter written by Emperor Charles to Prince Sixtus of Bourbon, outlining the means by which Franco might attain peace, was upon its receipt immediately communicated to all of France's al lies, says the ePtit Parisien. It was i nanimously decided, the paper adds, at an inter-Allied conference which was held shortly after that there was ro occasion to act on the Emperor's suggestion. AmaterUivm, April 13.—A dispatch from Vienna to the Frankfurter Zeitung. referring to the disclosures made by Premier. Clemenceau in re s-pect to Austrian peace proposals, says, assuming the existence of the Emperor's letter, it was written be fore the breakdown of Russia, at a time "when the war outlook was quite different from to-day and when the young, peace-loving monarch might have taken steps which to day, under altered conditions, must appear in another light." Hotel Bar May Soon Pass Into History Chicago, April 13.—Abolition of the bars in all hotels in the United Staes and Canada was forecast in an announcement yesterday by the executiac council of the American Hotel Association. Declaring that the interests of the hotel business are paramount to those of the saloon, the council strongly advocated that the sale of liquor be connlied to light wines and beer. , This would mean the closing of all barrooms run in connection with hotels and a ban on the sale of whisky, gin and other strong drinks, according to J. K. Blatchford, of Chicago, a member of the council. Miss Emily Morris Tells How Cuticura Cleared Her Skin "Pimples came on my face and across my chest and shoulders. They were scattered and came to a head so that my face was disfigured. They itched so that I irritated the affected parts. I had these pimples about two years. "I used many remedies, but they did me no good. Then I used Cuti cura Soap and Ointment, and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap with two boxes of Cuticura Ointment I was healed." (Signed) Miss Emily Mor ris, Carmlchael, Pa., August 27,1917. It is distressing to reflect that much, if not all, of this suffering might have been prevented by using Cuticura Soap, and no other, for every-day toilet pur poses with a little Cuticura Ointment now and then as needed to soothe and heal the first signs of skin or scalp troubles.

Haig's Loss of Guns More Than Made Up Ottawa, April 13. —The British Army in France is as well equipped to-day as when the German offen sive in Picardy began, Kngiund hav ing replaced all the lost guns and increased the quantity of machine guns, according to Frederick George Kellaway, British Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Muni tions. A Keuter dispatch, received yesterday from Bondon, quotes from a speech which Mr. Kellaway made at Bedford, England. The tanks the Germans captured were being replaced by ones of su perior model, the Secretary stated, and the ammunition consumed had more than been made good, while men were being released steadily to fill the gaps occasioned by loss of mftn power.

He said: "I am in favor of opening new of ficers training camps at once and making the course one of six months instead of three. Then, too, we must have older men, say from 35 to 40, for our officer material." He deprecated the idea that the war might be a short one, and add ed: "We arc facing a people who are ail-efficient, all-powerful in the art of war. Until wo can face them on equal terms we cannot turn the tide. The drafts in the future will be larger and larger."
