The Germtene have taken Bethineourt
at last. Ti.ey were more than two weeks

ress, provided the French are not eine
to throw them back by counter-attacks,
they will take Verdun in alsaut two

than 500,000 men and they will find them-
selves facing a new and equally strong
line of doferibe three miles eouth of
Verdun.

THE TRUE RESPONSE. a
(New York World)
Experience hos shown that the German
Foreign Office Is capable of making dif-
ferent kinds of replie,s to friendly In-
quiries as to the fate of neutrals who
chance to fall victims to the policy of
frightfulness at sea, but the most con-
vincing response is that which is record-
ed from day to day in the list of new
outrages and assassinations.
THE PROBLEM OF 1, ERDUN.
(Philadelphia Record)
If it has taken the Germans 50 days
to capture one fort at Verdun, how long
will It take them to reduce the 20 tortress-
es that surround that town? As a prot,
tem in arithmetic this seems easy, but. as
a question in which strategy, resources
In men and guns, national politics, dy-
nastic prestIge, international relations
and a few other factors play a part it
must be admitted to be a tough question.
Probably the lerench Generill Staff could
give an answer more nearly correct then
and other.

"You cannot imagine any one half
so charming as I look in mine," said
Miss Trevanion, with gay audacity;
"in fad, the other two you mentioned
are *nowhere' when I appear. And, if
You don't believe this statement, you
may judge for yourself the night after
next. So that 4s why you are thinking
a little about iti—eh?"
"I would think .a great deal about it,
if I dared. For instance, I would nev-
er cease dreaming of it from this moe
ment until then, if you would promise
ine the first waltz."
"But at that rate, consider how step -
idly insipid you would be for the
next two days. I would not have it on
my conscience to he the means of re-
ducing -you ta such a state of imbecil-

anything at my hands, as you have
not told me the 'something else' you
spoke of when first we left the cot-
tage."
"Perhaps, if I told you, you would
be angry," he said.
"What should there be in your
thoughts to cause me anger?" she
answered—and Just a degree of the
light buoyancy that had been animat-
ing her voite met since they be-
gan their walk faded out of it, and did
not return.
"Well, then, as I stood at the cottago
door before entering, I heard Mrs.
Dempsey telt you of a report she had
heard—a report that gave you in mar-
riage to Lord Lyndon. I was thinking
of that when you first spoke to me,
and Wondering—" He stopped abrupt-
ly, and, turning, looked at her with
eyes full of a wild entreaty. 'Tell me,

They were inside the gates of
King's Abbott by this time, and were
rapidly nearing the house. AlreadY
the grand, beautiful old mansions ap-
peared at intervals, gray and stately,
through the intersecting branches of
the lirne tree e beneath which they
walked. Mier, Trevanion's face had
subsided from its expressioa of gay
insouciance into its usual settled look
of haughty ittipenetrability, and, gaz-
ing at her, Denzil felt his heart grow
cold and dead within his bread, Eli
hope fled, and dull despair crept in to
fill its vacant place.

don me en such a tebject?" (the asked,
her voice low but. (prick with anger.
.And he answered, with sad truthful-
ness: "I3y none. 1 have no leght."
After which they cattinued their
walk in utter eilence until the hall
door was reached, when, drawing back
to allow her free entrance, he said,
with a faint trembling in hie tones:
"And about that waltz, Miss Tre-
vanion—rnay I have it?"
"No," she answered, with cold dig.

"You shouldn't have asked him that

and not happily so, if report speaks

Harvey, softly—"it counts, dear boy,

"Pshaw!" muttered the other, im-

tion with abruptnezs.
Meanwhile Mabel, with' mingled
feelings of dread and curiosity, was
watching with covert eagerness each
new face that passed her, in search of
a certain ,pair of hazel eyes and a
drooPing brown moustache. Naturally,
She looked in every direction but the
right one, and so was presently con-
siderably startled when a voice at her
elbow whispered—
"Good evening, cousin; will you not
even condescend to look at me?"
"Mr. Blount—Miss Mabel Trevan-
ion," broke in the host's full tones at
the same moment, and Mabel, with
• pretty confugion, turned to find the
obJect of her thoughts close beside her,

Dick left them to their own devices,

She Didn't Dance,
In 1130 a gentleman lived in Hampshire,
Englabd, named Samuel 13aldwIn, died
aftes a. rather stormy and most unifappY
-married life. In his will he directed that
all his vast estate be given his wife on
condition that she should dance upon Ills
grave from time to time. As the will
further Inetructed that his remains should
be taken bY boat to the Needles and
from there cast Into the sea, this, of
course, prevented his widow from fulfill-
ing the conditions of the will and thus
lost her the property. He, however, had
Ids revenge for the various tempers she
had exhibited and for the remarks slit
often made that she would yet, "dance
upon his grave."
Wonders in the Equine Foot.
The foot of a horse is one of the
most ingenious and unexampled
pieces of mechanism in the whole
range of- animal structure. The out-
side hoof is made up of a series of thin
vortical laminae of horn, about 500 in
number, Into this are fitted about
500 more thin laminae, which belong
to the coffin bone, both sets being
elastic and adherent. The edges of
a. quire of paper inserted leaf by leaf
into another quire will furnish a good
Idea of the arrangement of the lam-
inae in all the feet, amounting to
about 4,000. These are distributed in
the most secure manner and in a way
that every spring is acted upon in an
oblique direction.

"Whose is that strange face?" the

"1 fiatV no one," his wife said,
"I did. I saw a Strange face dis-

"Do yeti think it was it burglar?" his

' SPRING IN RHYME.
Tho spring is coming once again,
With winds and frost, and mud aud
rain,
And snow and floods, and brittle ice,
Which drown or wreck, all in a trice.
The woodman taps his maple trees,
And gathers sap, through eveey breeze,
And boils It down, for all night long;
When Sunday comes he sees no wrong.
The farmer, too, gets on his land,
And spring birds come, a merry band;
They sing their lays, and build their
nest;
The farmer sows or takes his rest.
A.balmy fragrance fills the air,
And everywhere is guardian care;
Theiraig springs Op, the fresh ground
over;
The birdies chirp among the clover.
The lowing herd turns out to graze, .
The milkmaid VieWa the sunset haze:,
The plowboy grooms hie lam team,
And now I close fond nature's dream.
