And from his earliest years Roderick Magsworth Bitts. J r.. had been trained to believe in the importance of the Magsworth family. At every meal be absorbed a sense of Magsworth great- ness. and yet in his infrequent meet- ings with persons of his own age and sex he was treated as negligible. Now dimly be perceived that there was a Magsworth claim of some sort which was immessive. even to the boys. Magsworth blood was the mental ot all true distinction in the world, he knew. Consequently. havtug been driven into a culâ€"deâ€"aac as a result of flagrant and unfounded boasting. he was ready to take advantage of what appeared to .be a triumphal way out. “Roddy." aald Penmd min. with aolemnlty. “1a Rena Worth acne relation of youra?’ “Ia aha.

Show us sumpthlng you can do.” “I didn’t say 1 was going to do any- thing.” returned the badgered one. still evading. Roderick had never heard of Rena Magsworth, although a concentration of the sentence yesterday pronounced upon her had burned, black and hor- rific, upon the race or every newspaper in the country. He was not allowed to read the Journals of the day, and his family's indignation over the sacrile- gious coincidence of the name had not been expressed in his presence. But he saw that it was an awesome name to Penrod Schoiield and Samuel Wil- llama. Even Herman and Verman, though lacking many' educational ad- vantages on account of a long resi- dence in the country, were informed on the subject of Rena Magsworth through hearsay, and they joined in the portentoqs silence. The immediate importance of Erzerum consists in the fact that it commands the only way by which Russia and Turkey can get at each other. It is true that on this Caucasian front the Russo- Turkish frontier is some 700 miles long. But you might as well ask an army to advance on a broad front across Switzerland as look for military operations all along the line from the Black Sea to the Caucasus. The whole country is a iumble of mountains, through which movement is only possible upon a very few tracks. There is, indeed, only one road across the frontier, by which large armies can be supplied, and that is the ancient trade route from Erzcrum “How do you know?” This was but meandering while waiting for ideas and evoked another yell. “You think you could be a show all by yourself?" demanded Penrod. “How do you know I couldn’t?" Two white boys and two black boy: shrieked their scorn of the boaster. "i could too!" Roderick raised his voice to a sudden bowl. obtaining a hearing. “Well. why don’t you tell us how?” “Well. I know how. all right." said Roderick. “If anybody asks you you can Just tell him i know how. all right.” "Rudd; ‘ ho "sin-(I. almost over- wm-ntlwi M‘ n [H'G'N'ivllt'v of .k'unxnthing vast "ml nununif’c-mn. “Ruddy, are you any rvmflrm nr Hana ancwnrth?" “Roddy." répeated Penrod. “honest, Is Rena Magsworth some relation of yours?" ‘ "â€"v ~- ~~ .- ,. n 1 ed Penmd dermively. “You’d have to have sumpthing.

When [11? Eastern Empire began to crumble Lnder the blows of Islam, Erzerum fell. For some seven thdred years Turkish sentries have watch- ed upon its ramparts. It was a great fortress fifteen centuries ago; it is a fortress of importance in this world-wide war. Arms and tactics, all the methods of war have been utterly changed, but the centres of strategy remain un- changed. ‘ I n . A fl ”Nun: nut!” The Key to Armenia ’“m 'h mm.» 640 miles.

Ewcrtm itself stands 6.000 feet abme the level of the sea, and yet it is a city of the plain. Not far away the round mass of Mount Ar- arat rises to a height of 17,000 feet. 1,000 feet above Mont Bll'lf'. Armenia is a tangle of nunmtaivn- among which rather dreary stretches of nlain and broad. fer- tile valleys lie isolated each from he other. A system of communiâ€" cation over its peaks or through its gorges would tax the resources of modern engineering. All through history it has been diffiâ€" cult to weld together or to govern from any centre. The country seems destined for the home of isolated or hostile tribes, full of refuges for the persecuted or the nersecutor, not easily to be per- meated by any law or civilization. Erzerum covers the one great highway which penetrates into Ar- menia from Russian territory. If you wish to estimate the rigor ol‘ the weather in the recent fighting you may note that 22 degrees is a common winter minimum. even in the plain. Through this plain the Ri‘ssian cavalry have been advancfi ing upon the town. The Turkish; forces beaten at Lake Tortum Wt re some 50 miles away, and to reach's Erzerum again must traverse mountain paths deep in snow. No doubt the Russian advance is being pressed along various tracks which] converge on the city, but 3114 fighting must depend upon the: main road. The distance by thisl highway from Ears to Erzerum isl of strategic resource, but geogra- of strategic resource, but geogra- phical necessity. Armies can only fight where their feet will take themâ€"and their food. We speak of the Caucasian front and it is probable that many people reading in the Russian com- muniques of bitter cold think of the great peaks of the Caucasus Elbruz and the rest, and imagine the fighting among the vast gor- ges of that range. But the Russo- Turkish frontier is many miles south of the Caucasus. Even Tif- lis. the Russian base, is well tn the south of those mountains. Kara the great Russian frontier forl- ress is still farther to the south.
