PAGE TEN ] EE n The (By Frances Walter) THE CONFESSIONS OF ROKANE TE EDWARD TELLS OF HIS APPEAL TO HIS WIFE | pyright, 1916, by the McClure (Col RR raonper Syndicate). Edward's manner changed com- pletely when he began to tell of his first meeting with Sylvia. He had discussed his married life with all the bitterness one feels toward a condition which has proved a 'bar to happiness. Now he was a different man. To be sure, the metamorphosis did not come all at once, but as he proceeded tenderness took the place of the harshness which he had ex- hibited, and it was not long before he seemed utterly different from the man to whom we had listened a_few minutes before. Then he changed again as the full realization of his position was borne home to him, and the old bitterness returned. "I might never have cared a great deal about my blighted home and ruined life had I not met Sylvia," he said, In a voice which vibrated with emotion. "The travesty which had made me a husband had proved a source of mortification and keen dis- appointment, of course, but the real horrdr of my situation did not dawn upon me until after I had learned to love some one else." He paused for a moment or two Sha then took several steps toward Sylvia and addressed her. "My dear, I know I should have told you about myself in those days when we were together so much," sald he. "I knew than that it was the only right thing to do, but I could not bring myself to the point. Al- most from the time I lifted you from ba Cf A) RA i Absalately ; Kills Moths, ' Bugs, Fleas, f osquitoes, 4 ies, = fin front of that automobile and car- I loved you. And jearer tome I became more and more fearful that some- thing would part us. I knew .I had right to associate with you, not safety Arte 3 but because you eonld not ac- ally become my wife until those ties were broken asunder. Yet I could not tell you of my trouble. I daved not tell you. At nights when I paced the floor and thought of you and of the future that might have been, 1 almost went mad At those times | was willing to kil] you and then kill myself, so that we might be together forever in death. Then, in my calmer moments I would vow that the next time we were together I would tell you everything. Yet when that time came | was as much a coward as I had been before. I feared that you would drive me from you that you would scorn a man who had deceived vou as 1 had. There- fore I remained silent, drifting I knew not where, yet hoping continu- ally that something would happen that would make it possible for us to be married. - "Then came the evening in the restaurant when you told me your great secret. You will never know with what feelings I received your statement. Indeed, for the moment, I lost sight entirely of your posi- tion in the joy of your revelation, but later in the evening this fact came to me with erushing force, and 1 de- termined to take a desperate chance. "That night after I told you gcod- by I went to my rooms with my ming made up. I would tell my wife ev- erything and demand my release. "Next morning I went to her house ofily to learn that she had gone to her father's country home. I fol- ldwed her there and told her every- thing. "I thought she would accept the situation with the philosophical calm- ness which she affected, but,l was greatly mistaken. She flew into a rage and attacked me with the fury of a lioness. " 'Could you not see all the time that I loved you and was pretending indifference in the hope that you would learn to care for me?' she de- manded. 'You do not suppose for one moment that I was in reality the woman | appeared to be, do you?" "And then she declared that she cared for me almost since our mar- riage, but that she was too proud to betray her affection. She knew, she said, that I did not love her and until I did she had decided to assume cold- ness and indifference in the hope that Woman---Some Menu for Friday BREAKFAST 'Oranges or Stewed Rhubarb Rolled Farina Whole Wheat Griddle Cakes Homemade Syrup Coffee or Cocon LUNCHEON OR SUPPER Deviled Eggs Rice and Green Pepper Salad Crackers and Cream Cheese DINNER Baked Steakfish Mashed Potatoes Cucumber Salad Crushed "old Molded Farina w! rl ty Strawkerties SEE I at length would come to her and confess my love. ad "Her statement was a profound shock, chiefly because the tactics she had employed were those which would alienate rather than win a per- son's love. Yet it was her peculiar way of trying to win me. "1 told her that it was too late for us to talk of love that I loved a girl whom I had ruined, and that I would obtain my release if 1 had to move to another city and seek a di: vorce by fraud. At that she flew into another rage and defied me to make the attempt, and so I left her." (To be continued.) Page 4). (Continued From HOW SUBMARINES GET INTO ATLANTIC Syracuse Post-Standard. There are two ways of getting into the Atlantic ocean from German ports. One is through the English channel. The narrowest outlet of the North- ern route is between the Orkney islands and the coast of Norway, 240 miles, The depth of water at this point is such that submarines may easily dive below any mine or net system that might b§ stretched across the wide neck ¢f the bottle here. -South of this line the water he- comes shallower, and mine or net laying becomes effective from Flam- borough Head to the coast of Jut- land. The problem then, lies in the Eas- tern part of the North sea, wherl particularly deep water off the coast of Norway ,affords passage for the siubmarines. German U-boats easily pass from the Baltic through the Cattegat--into the deep water found jut off 'the Skaw at the tip of Den- mark, and thus into the North Sea, hugging the shores of Norway all the way. 'A stopper 'in the Cattegat would solve the problem, and the feat is not impossible. Bince under present conditions an actual blockade is impossible, the evil 'has been reduced by canalizing it. 'In other words, the navy is fore- ing the U-boats to take certain nar- row and difficult channels, and keep- ing as close a watch as possible over these routes. But they cannot stretch nets deep enough to block the only exit remaining to Germany. Perhaps the "new device" which Am- erican inventors hope will eliminate the U-boat as a factor in the war has to do, with an effective stopper for this outlet, AWFUL TORTURE : OF ARMENIANS & Toronto Globe. Lord Bryce, many months ago, ac- ting as Chairman of a Commission of injuiry, reported that the slain Ar- menians, including those of both sexes and varying ages, amounted in | number to nearly a million people. The flendish cruelty with which they | werd 'tortured to death, allowed to die of starvation, compelled to plunge into rivers to certain destrue- tion, and subjected to treatment too vile for description, is worse even than anything that has taken place in devastated France, Belgium, or Poland. Were there no other rea- son for the overthrow of the Turk- ish Empire, this treatment of a sub- Ject Christian race by an intruding Mohammedan one would certainly Justity its absolute and final destrue- "tion. : rr ta rns sary let us talking about the 1h stop ing u French Pancakes.

So has the United States. Australia was into it before the war, in-so-far as the military training of her youth was concerned; and, ow- ing largely to that, Australia has sent more troops across seas than Canada, though possessing not two- thirds our population. Every ally of Britain--France, Japan, Italy and all the lesser mations-- are fighting in the common cause upon the basis of compulsory service. Let us join them, Canada has no time to lose. New men put into uniform now will not be fit to send to the front ag rein- forcements in less than six months, and desperate fighting is certain to £0 on meanwhile, with continued. Canadian casualties, Every day lost now inputting into force in this country the principle of compulsory service is a day's danger nearer the discredit--the disgrace--of this country being unable to maintain at the front a force to utilize the spare man-power we have at home. Upon every member of parliament lies a share of this responsibility--but chiefly upon the government. GALLANTRY OF THE CANADIANS M. Viviani, at ¢ttawa. "Canadians; fighting beside the British and : French troops, have shown Juptake courage. At Ypres, in the north ¢ France, in a country devastated by floods, the Germans, following a clend of asphyxiating gas, delivered a tefrific assault. That day Germany had fo meet your soldiers, who, rising initheéir might, saved the battle for thelAllies. And in many battles they hive won victories; they are the men who stood up. At this moment we hate before our eyes your boys, so alert,!so athletic, so brave; the first to stbrm victoriously the heights of Vinly, which were reputed to be impregnmible. Hail to all these soldiers! Let us bow our heads rev- erently before those who fight, those who suffer and those who have laid down their lites for their country. When they left this country they had clear preception of what their action meant; they were well aware that it was not only Great Britain they were called upon te defend; that it was not only Frante they were going to protect 'agains attacks of the invad- ers; no, their clear vision detected the higher olject: they were well ware that it vas the sacred cause of humanity, of democracy and of jus- tice they were defending." 3 ---------------- 'WILL HINT .

One of the most effective scenes in "A Daughter of the Gods," Wil- liam Fox's $1,000,000 picture beauti- ufl, the attraction at Griffin's Family Theatre, Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, May 21st, 22nd, 23rd, is he mythical kingdom of a'race of warfs. This particular scene, which( cost a fortune to pro- duce, even a|river's course being di- verted to creatd a mountain torrent, is one that appeals strongly to the children, for amid the bewildering thickets may be seen the Httle folk carry'ng on their daily tasks under the leadérship of a dwarf, who seeme thigh enough to Keép his 'chin off the ground. Annette Kellermann, among them, is a titan of perfect physical beauty. To produce this scene was one of the most difficult things that Mr. Fox had to contend with, for it was no easy matter to procure children bright and attentive enough to fol- low the lessons given them as to what to do and how to do it. Again, the parents of the ch'ldren were fearful lest some harm come to their offspring, and, to satisfy them, it was found necessary to defray all the expenses of the parents during all the time that this fairyland like scene was being enacted. A special building was erected in constant attendance to care for the little ones and the'r parents, Due sun and the humidity, h doctors and nurses were kept on the alert lest some of the children succumb to the unusual weather conditions. Despite a rumor to the contrary, the engagement of "A Daughter of the Gods" will not be extended, as the ever increasing demand for this scenic sensation, and contraets al- ready made with other cit'es prevent a continuance of the presentation here after the time originally set. Matinees will be given every day at 2.30 p.m.; evening performance at 8.15 p.m. Four Generations at Reunion.
