A glance of mutual! recognition pssed "between them, bur 80 quickly that it was unobserved by the others. The Prince eyed- her steadily, with malignant gaze, as of a man who has been tricked. "A wild fear leaped into her eyes and she moved away, edging cloge to Britz. "It fsn"t to be wondéred at," said Brits sympathetically, "when you re call the many hardships Miss Vincen: endured--when you remember on how many mornings she had to trudge to her copying work in the Louvre with- out even the poor). consolation of a French breakfast, that she permitted a young Hindoo gentleman to spend a little money upon her. It wasn't exactly In line with. New Sngland con: ventionality, of course, but the arise tocratic Fasterner had been introdu- ced to her formally enough, his be: haviour was always respectful, and she--well, she was very lonely and very blue and often very hungry."

London, Sept. 15--A despatch - to | The Dmily News from Crecy describe a battle in a thunder storm during which the Germans were forced back from the Marne fiver. A combined rush of French British cavalry had smashed into a patrol of German cavalry and de molished them om the outskirts of a forest. A battery of Royal Horse artillery, with half their men and horses gone, .did splendid work be hind a screen made by a few forest trees they had felled. A hundred yards anead a small stream flowed, beyond = which the German artillery was posted, when a thunder storm came up and mi the gloom of it the artiliesy owe! went on. The Briush new thirteen-pounden participated in the duel, the gunbers being directed by an aeroplane, ciro- Jing high above the Germans but out of range. The English guns appear ed to work to better advantage than the Germans' because there was no recoil and, therefore, no need to re cover the range once it was found. Several prisoners were captured by the English and Trench, ' and these admitted that they had not the cou- rage to face! the British cavalry charges. The storm that followed the battle was welcomed by the French and English soldiers, who stripped naked and enjoved their first bath in mung davs and HOCK DER KAISER!

For Fire From Guns-- Peasants Helped Soldiers Fire Over 100 Houses, While Women Wept, London, (By mail to New York, Sept. 12.)--A graphic story of the burning of the village of Boncelles by Belgian soldiers because it would interfere with the fire from the Liege forts, is told in a letter receiv- ed in Wales by the brother of a Bel- gian soldier. "I shall never forget the sight of it," the Belgian soldier wrote. "One hundred and thirty houses and the church of Boncelles forming one big blaze in the middle of the night, and the poor inhabitants helping the soldiers to destroy their own: little homes and all their contents. "It was aboui ten o'clock when the peaceful inhabitants of Boncelles were abruptly reminded of the horri- ble significance of the word 'war' An engineer officer, surrounded by an army of sappers, knocked at ev- ery door and delivered the messages that their houses had to be burned to allow the fort to operate its guns without obstruction. While the offi- cer was speaking sappers were al- ready bringing in wood, cotton and petroleum. "The inhabitants about the forts are informed that in time of warthe necessity might arise for the autho- rities to destroy their houses, but in this case they had not been warn- ed during the afternoon and most of them had: gone to rest . when the knock on ther door came to tell them of their fate. 1 eould not des- cribé all of the scenes I witnessed that night. All I remember is wo- men in tears and children praying. Some 6f them implored the soldiers to let them a: least take their furni- ture away and threw themselves at the officer's feet. But they were gent- ly raised by the arm, and led outside in the dark. "The soldiers rushed in and threw bundles of wood under the stair case, poured pétrol over them and lit it. In an imstant the house was blaze. One woman tried to rush in to save some souvenir, a photograph a cradle, anything, but was ordered back by the coldiers, Perhaps her own son was amongst them. "A man who had' just been led out of a house, and who had been watching with a stupid look the pro- gress of the fire, rushed away from his wife and children as if mad. He grasped a mass of saturated cotton and helped the soldiers with. their work. The example had. been given and in a moment the other peasaits followed. 3 "The fire had to be set to the churchy, where only two hours ago peasants whispered their prayers in solitude. Wood and cotton was heap- ed.up.as far 28 the altar and in the tower as high as possible, and a lit- tle Jater all that remained was the little square tower, a high burning torch which soon listed over 'and came down in a cloud of smoke and flames. One hundred and thirty houses were destroyed in this way and then all trees in the neighbor- hood were cut."
