RAID RUMORS Latest Attack On Britain Was Largely Visionary. London Cable.—Various remelt were current in London last night of air raids on the east toast of England and in London. At an early hour this morning the only confirmation of a visitation by an airship had come from Lowestoft, where it was stated that a Zeppelin had been sighted. It Was said that a British aircraft went in pursuit of the invader and the Zeppelin was soon lost in the haze, going seaward. The pursuer returned to its station. A despatch to the Mail from Wells, on the coast of Norfolk, says that four Zeppelins were seen at 6.30 o'clock last night eight miles off the coast bY the observer at the life-saving station. They were moving southward. Warn- ings immediately 'sent to all towns within a considerable radius. No air ships have been seen by any of the other coast stations in this vicinity.

She felt as if they contained a menece to her peace. Tine portrait could not be an ordinary ooe. And this work, to which l'ierre devoted hiraself with such ar- (Ion was destinedto have an influeoce over the destiny of them all. Site saw everything grow dark :wound her, as it the sun had suddenly hiddeie himself beltind a cloud. Sorroweul pteseuti- ments oppressed her heart. "And this warelt is that of some one lie knows? Y she resumed. "Oli, of some one he knows very well." "whom, then?" "An actress." "What is her name?" Jacques began to laugh; and looking at his sister in surprise, he :meth "How ingutsitive yen are to-nigItti I ehould like to know how it can pos- sibly interest you to lean whether the original of Pierre's portrait be called' Mile. This or Mile. That." "It interests me, however." "Well, then the lady of the portrait is Mlle. °lenience Villa. She is small, dark, has lila* eyes, beautiful teeta, an execrable reputation, and very lit- tle talent,. Notwithstanding, she has been talked about as a great success. DS YOU wish to know what her age Is? Twenty-four or thereabouts. Her country? Beautiful Italy, the land of vermouth and sausages: Her belief? She advocates the community of goods, if not where money is concern- ed, at least where the heart is. But you are making me say stupid things. This -is whet comes ot talking to children. Let it suffice you to know that Um portrait is good, and that Pierre's reputation will not suffer through it." The conversation turned on other things, but the paint -al linpression re- ceived by Juliette remained. Her thoughts dwelt, in spite of herself, on this woman whom she could note avoid thinking Ill of,eand she had a jealous , fear that she was loved by the artist who was painting her picture, "It is she who has taken him away from me," she thought, It is since he has known her that he has ceased to visit us, He is ashamed to come." In her naive deductions Juliette was not far from the truth. Plerre experi- encea now, when at Mme de Vignes' house, a feeling of embarrassment. He felt that he was observed by the sister of his friend. His conscience was not at rest, and he reproached himself withh having drawn back too sudden- ly after advancing with too little con- sideration. He deemed himself blam- able, and divined that he was blamed. This inspired him with a feeling of dissatisfaction which kept him away item be girl he respected too much to dream now of loving. "You have be- haved, my boy," lie said to himself, "like a veritable scoundrel. You have risked endangering the peace of mind of this child, in order to satisfy a nas- cent caprice, and then you have changed in your feelings and your thoughts at the will of the first worth- . lees woman you chance to meet. Keep now to Your jades; you are fit only for them, you are made to understand each other. Aspire no more to the purity, the sweetness, the joy of a chaste and holy eaffection; look uo longer for the innocence; the fresh- ness Of a young girl. The snow that has not been troddeo on is not 'for you; you have chosen instead the mud which has been trampled upon by every passing foot." And in order to conform to the lute of conduet imposed upon him by his bitter cynicism', the painter threw him- self. into pleasure more ardently than before, seeking the less to eurb the excesses of Jacques now that he himself hen participated in them. Laurier seemed made of iron; he carried both pleasure and work to ex- cess. After the wildest nights he was to be found in his studio, palette in hand, as if he had left his bed re- freshed after eight hours' sleep. A more metallic vibration than ordinary in his voice, a more pronounced fev- erishness in his movements, alone be- trayed his fatigue. And when even- ing came, he. was ready tie begin the same thing (wet again. Jacques, on the contrary, his form more bent, his chest more and mare hollow, and his glance more and more 'dull, bore in his -whole person the fearful traces of a physical exhaustion every day more complete. His mother tried to draw him back to her, to snatch him from his killing mode of life. He promised to itmain with her, to take the rest he needed, to break from Ins habits, his friend- ships, his train of pleasures. He coula not do so, and Mme. de Vignes saw, with` profound despair, the son jour- ney as the father had done, on the road of which each stage, se farailiar to het' was marked by anguish, and whose end was swift anti- certaih death. The opening of the Exposition had meanwhile taken place, and, seeretlY impelled by a sharp teelihg of curios- ity, Juliette asked her mother to take her to it. Modern paintings inter- ested her ohly slightly. What at- tracted her with irresistible power Waa the portrait of Cleraehee Villa, the sitting for which had coineided as fatally with the elmege in the senti- ments of Pierre Laurier, Accom- panied by her mother, who had no intspicione of her feelings, Ittedeneoie- elle de Vignes passed rapidly and with indifference through the hone whete thoueandsof usles dinvasee were die - played to view in their cold medioe- pity.

Surrounded by the admiring crowd, who repeated aloud the names of the painter and of the model, Mademoiselle de Vignes suffered hor- ribly. Two young men wIto had taken up their stand before the por- trait, beside her, and who dia not care whether they were heard or not, ended their eulogies by these words; "Besides, he is her lover." Juliette blushed as if she had re - reined an insela-and, trembling at the thollght that she "night bear other words which shoula enlighten her still more cruelly regarding the mys- tery which she was at once eager and unwilling to know. she drew her mother int0 the next hall. From this clay forth she ,became More grave, wicth a gravity that had In it ea, shade of melancholy, which Old not, .however, attract the atten- tion of Madame de Vignes. The two a, women had only too many' reasons for sorrow, and Juliette would have aitonished her mother more by n display of gaiety than of sadness, The slluaraer passed in the solitude of the country, jaeques continuing at the watering places, Trouville and Dieppe, his life of pleasure, and presenting himself at longer and 'longer intervals at his mother's house; Pierre had altogether, disappeared, devoting himself com- pletely be work, as they saw by the ft equent appearance of canvasee winch bore his name in the picture shops. Never did time appear longer or more sad to the two women than ilid the months from Sone to October. They had leisure to think of all the anxieties the future had in store for them. The weather was magnificent, the sky was 'without a cloud, and a de- licious warnitit Vervild'ed the atmo- sphere. In the evening the mother and daughter walked in the garden, watch- ing the stars appearing one by one in the clear heavens. And the calmness of nature formed a paintul contrast to the agitation. 01 their minds. They walked beside each other without speaking, for each wished to hide her surrey from the other, ...noosing the darkest walks se that thd expression on their faces might not be seen. They felt as if surrounded by a void. The two beings who for them were all the world were far away, and everything else had become indifferent to them, The charms of nature were unnoticed by them, Thee sweetness of the breeze laden with the aromas arising from the earth, the clearness of the myse terious depths of the heavens, •the rustling of the leaves shaken by the breeze overhead, all that would have charmed them if they had had beside them, to share their feelings, the dear ones who were absent, left them cold and unmoved. And every day, every evening, the same sense of weariness weighed heavily upon them. Juliette was developing rapidly; she had grown in stature and her face bad become charming. She was now sev- enteen, and her gravity gavo her a le -manly air. Her mother took delight In dressing her. The partiality -she bad always had for her son did not blind her co completely as to prevent her observing the budding charins of her daughter. She said to the latter one day, after having looked at her for a long time in silence: "You are veiny growing pretty." A smile flitted across fullette's face, and she shook her head without speaking. Of ,what use was her beetity? Ile whom she wished to ad - Mire it was not here. e The autumn had just set in, when an alarming piece of news summoned Madame de Vignes unexpectedly to Paris. Her son, after havingstrug- gled foolishly with a weakness that gave him 50 respite, had fallen and- dettly 111. He had been seized with a hemorrhage, and, in a dying condi- tion, they had traisported him to hie mother's house. The anguish of this blow cut short the reveries of the Young girl, She -adored her brothe.r, and hastening to his side with her mother, she had been terrified by the had scarcely the strength to lift his head when they entered the morn. Ot the handsome Jacques there remained nothing but, a •shadow. A Consultation of physicians, summoned at once, Or- dered his immediate departure for the state in which she had found him. He sleuth, and since the last of November the De Vignes had been installed in the villa washed by ,R6 waters of the blue sea, and sheltered by pine and juniper trees, among the red rocks.

These curious theories �f the Rus- sion doctor had began by interesting Jacques; then the seed sown had in- sensibly taken root in his mind and rapidly borne fruit, There were hours' during which the sick mate hoped once Mere, and said to himself, "Why, in- deed, should I not recover" He called to mind examples of wonderful cures from maladies further advanced than his, and from which the patients lied so completely recovered that not a trace of their illness had remained.

To be de- livered from nurses and doctors, to afford to despise precautions, and not to have to think continually of his health; to be able to commit imprud- ences at his pleasure. What a dream! Should he ever be able to realize it? In so ardently desiring health, he had but one aim in view -to begin again the life of dissipation which had brought him to this miserable condi- tion. When he gave vent in the pres- ence of Pierre to his regrets and his aspirations, his friend ewould shake his head with a melancholy air, and say with arotound bitterness: -And is pleasure, then, worth long- ing' so ardently for? Could there be anything valuer or more deceitful?

(Christian Science Monitor. It was said a generation ago, by a minister of the crown, without appar- ently a.ny conception of the signifi- cance of his own words, that the country had once more drunk itself out of debt. The present chancellor of the exchequer sees, no doubt, through the shallowness of such reasoning, the con- crete fact that countries can only drink themselves out of debt they have drunk themselves into. The indirect effect of drink in the Russian empire was the acceptance of Monday as a dies non, with the consequence of reducing the working week to five days, at the ex- pense of both capital and labor The indirect effect of absinthe in France was the phenomenon known as the Apache. If it is true, and there is no reason to doubt the statement, that the corn bination of gin and whiskey has re- duced the capacity of the stevedores of Liverpool and the riveters of Newcastle beyond that of ordinary peace time, it is clear that on the Tyne and oe the Mersey there is a custom much. more to be honorea in the breach than in the observance than any that may ever have been prevalent upon the sound Having made up his mind what the real enemy is, the chancellor of the exchequer is not likely to hesitate in striking at it without much ado. Cow- ardice has never been charged to Mr. Lloyd -George's account. He will make no more of the loss to the revenue than of any other difficulty which he may he.called upon to face in the mat- ter.

Curious Reasons Caused Hard - Drinking -State to Turn.

Columbus, Oa, NOT A SQUARE DEAL (Toronto Star) It fills an unemployed man 'with anger to think that business men will not make work unless they can make money out of it -even though men starve, They take their gains in good years, but will not take losses when a hard year comes. They step aside and let the burden of it all crush down upon the wereers, who did not get galli out of good years, but only the wages that kept them going. The discarded worker grows embittered by what he sees as well as by what he offers. What he sees convinces him that a closed factory, as a rule. brings poverty only to those who formerly earned wages in it, bun not to those who formerly earned profits there; The owners or shareholders may have their profits stopped for the time being. It Is not a square deal . The whole sub- ject is one to which a great cleat Of thinking will have to be' devoted in days to come, 4.0 Cross, Sickly Babies Mrs. Charles E.
