THE CONFES SIONS OF ROXANE - By Frances Walter. | SOY (Copyright, 1916, by the MeClure Newspaper Syndicate). My resolution 10 80 my own way and permit Arthur to €0 his was not persisted in without a twinge or two from my consclence. No sooner had I arrived at this decigion than 1 was | assailed from all sides with deubts ol | the propriet) and effectivenes such a treatment of My case, i fhe first question whieh came me was: 19 iL treating Arthur right ' Should 1 pot speak to him, and warn | him, that time to his wife I would console my-| self by spending my time with oth ers? 'The question answered ilsel He had been warned score 1 had remonstrated witn hin a dozen occysion hia course | be more effective? Another doubt wh mind concerned nie even re el ly. It hypl 4d ahead happiness 1 not J volved that I cpuld not extricate my-| self when I wished? After six months | or 80 of pleasure seeking would I be the same Roxane that I had been? | Might J not hecome contaminated, if not by my agfoclates, by the very na- ture of my pursuit? Would it be possible for me to seek my own con-| tentment without discovering that I} had only increased my selfishness and | without finding that 1. was getting| farther and farther fromi~the object | of my search? These doubts made me pause be- fore essting loose from the anchorage of my home, and I must confess that the figure which arose before me most frequently when I thought of my future was the figure of Arthur. Was this because I really loved him I think the result of my reflections was that I should pot say anything to Arthur which would reveal the nat- ure of the resolution which I had reached. I was not only stubborn en- pugh to think he had been warned sufficiently, but I also feared that I might be regarded by him as a com- plaining, whining wife, and if there is one character in the world who is absolutely devoid of reason it is such , A woman, But like many resolutions, this one vanished into thin air soon after it was made. Arthur came homé later than usual that night, looking tired and worn, x "Aren't you well?" I not his pale face. "Perfectly well," he assurred me, "Only a little tired." 50 hard," 1 "You shouldn't work remonstrated. Fy om ing "Oh, it is nothing' he declared. "All I need is a little sleep. To-mor- row morning 1 shall be as well and, as full of 'pep' as ever.

'You speak as if you suspect- ed I was an invalid." "No, you are not an invalid---yet," I admitted. '"The question how long will it be before you are one?" "That _is all foolishness," he re- plied with impatience. 'Work never yet killed anybody, and it won't kill me, Besides, I am not working as hard as some of the others down at the office, Why, Evans has had a epuch moved into his inner office and he sleeps there half the time. I tell you, Roxane, we are doing a great business, and it is necessary for us to take advantage of eévery opportunity that is offered to get the work -Qut. This war isn't going to last forever, and it. is a case of making hay while the sun shines." ' "Well, I shan't argue that 'point with you, Arthur," I told him.

I wish you were in some other. business, but since you are not I shall not burden you with reproaches." He started to speak, but checked himself and remained quiet. I knew what he was going to say. He would have defended the traffic. But he either thought argument would be futile, or he was too tired to pursue the subject. He arose wearily and started for his room. "I wish you would come home ear- ly to-morrow," I vehtured uncerfain- 1y. "I would like to have you take me to the theatre." "Where?" He stopped abruptly and stared at me in astonishment. He looked very much as if ¥ had asked him to help me throw a east net over the moon, "To the theatre," I repeated, "We haven't been out in some time, and I think it' would do us both good." "Why, you know I cannot go," he replied. "IT am too thoroughly tied up. I cannot leave the office to-mor- row evening. My work is packed up neck high on my desk." "I am sorry," 1 said after a pause. "I think you are making a mistake not to go. You woulll enjoy it and we would be glad to have you with us' I emphasized the "us" ever so lightly, but he did not notice it. He did not even catch the drift of my statement. » "However," I continued, determin- ed that he should know. "I shall be home abont-as early as you, unless the play is an unusually long one." "What?" He comprehended only y degrees. . Then he smiled faintly. "Oh, I see,' he said. "You are go- ing without me. 'Who will be with you?" "Mariam and Mr. Gordon." He seemed about to say something, but he restrained himself. Frown- ing, he turned on his heel and left the room muttering a half-audible "Good-night.' (To be Continued.)

AU IN EXTREME SOUTH. A Tremendous Struggle Is Expected on the Bukowina and Transylvan- ian Fronts--The Enemy Not Meet- ing With Success. . Petrograd, Oct. 19.--The whole of Gen. Brussiloft's front, from the dis- triet of Kovel to Rumania, presents an ahmost continuous battle line, with large Russian and Austrg-Ger- man forces constantly engaged In at« tacks and counter-attacks, each side successfully defending its position put making no lasting progress against is opponent. = It has become evident that the ine tention of breaking . through the northern sector of Gen. Brussilofl's lige and recapturing Lutsk has been supplemented since Rumania's entry into the war, but a more audacious plan--a move at the extreme south« ern flank by the Austro-Germans in the hope ef separating the Russian armies from thelr new allies. To this end the Austro-Germans have concentrated heavy - force at the southern tip of Bukowina, Where the northern flank of the Russians joins the northern flank of the Ru- manians, and have begun an advance south of Dorna-Watra, accompany- ing 'this with a vigorous attack slightly farther north in the region of Korosmezo and Kirilibaba and a parallel movement against the Ru- maniansg in Transylvania. 'Tremendous Struggle E The Austro-German -movement however, is still in' its early stages, and a tremendous struggle is expect- ed on this part of the front. Already the Russians have begun counter- manoeuvres, as is attested by the number of prisoners taken'in the Kirlibaba region, where the first at- tack of the Austro-Germans, in the view of the military observers, bears little semblance of success, Pierce fighting still continues southeast of Vladimir-Volynski in Vollwnia and south of Brzezany in Galicia. At these two points, cover- ing respectively the roads to Vladi- mir-Volynski and Lemberg, a con- tinuous battle is being carried .on at close range, leading "often to bayo- net encounters, but without produc- ing any decisive results. * Falkenhayn Will Fail. London, Oet. 19.--Falkenhayn's offensive in Tramsylvania has a very strong resemblance to Hotezendorff's disastrous push in the Tréntino with this difference, that Falkenhayn has got only half as many troops at his disposal, no such base as the 0 formidable: tino fortifications to fall back upon, Thus the German bid {or the Car- pathian passes as Summed a 10 me by a Rumanian n omat, who that the Rumanian General Staff had adopted all necessary measures for preventing the enemy's invasion: of the country. Falkenhayn, said he, could mot hope to invade Rumania with his present army. Any attempt of the kind would lead to disaster, because the my would find him- self taken in a eul de sac by superior Russo-Rumanign forces. et ---------- 1,000 ISLAND PARK ASSOCIATION Stockholders ngs: ture of Park Looks B .
