which followed, 31 bodies had been re
covered.
F ifty persons were believed to have
been crushed to death under falling
walls or burned to death while pinned
in the debris.
Search among the
ruins is proceeding, the workers cen
tering their efforts on the tangled
mass o f lumber and bricks which had
been the department store of Maddin
& Co., where it was feared the bodies
of many g irl and woman shoppers and
employes would be found.
The property damage was estimated
at $600,000. A score o f fires caused
by the flaming gasoline, which was
thrown for blocks when the car ex
ploded with a terrific detonation, were
got under control after two hours’ des
perate work by the small local fire

The city immediately was
placed under martial law.
The explosion wrecked an entire
block o f buildings in the heart of town
and precipitated a scene of panic.
Along Main street from the station to
the Whittington Hotel, every building
was demolished, and on the opposite
side o f the street the plant of S w ift

cafe and other business buildings were

assumed by the Imperial government.
This became known after a confer
ence Monday between President W il
son and Secretary Lansing, at which
the latter submitted a note given him
in New York by Count von Bernstorff,
the German ambassdaor.
N o announcement was made after
the W hite House conference.
Secre
tary Lansing said merely that it was
inadvisable to comment on the situa
tion while the negotiations were still
confidential. He declined to say what
the next step would be, but it was
learned later the German Ambassador
would be asked to come to Washington
soon to receive the view which the
American government takes of the last
German note.
Count von Bernstorff is fully author
ized by his government to conduct the
submarine negotiations.
The situation has improved to the
extent that there is no danger o f an
immediate break in diplomatic rela
tions, as the note affords an oppor
tunity for further negotiations.
It was said reliably that final re
fusal by Germany to meet the A m eri
can viewpoint on the Arabic case
might bring atiout the threatened rup
ture tn diplomatic relations.
Just what the details are on which
the two governments are in conflict
was not definitely known, because
secrecy has enveloped the negotiations.
In general, it was learned that Ger
many, after examining the evidence
submitted by the United States, came
to the conclusion that her submarine
commander erred in assuming that the
Arabic was intent on ramming the
German submarine when steering to
rescue the passengers on the British
steamer Dunsley.

"W hy?” H er hand moved In lit«,

His arm tightened about bar. h«
drew her head still nearer hla. One In

a sigh she shut her eyes end shivered,
Hall kissed her once, twice— thrice.
She clutched his hand tightly.
When the did raise her lids. It was
to look at him with big, pleading, won

them— almost. "W hat do you want to

Ha kissed her again. “ Why shouldn't
I want to?"
The time had come. She jumped to
her feet. "H all, I'm going!
I can't
ever come here again. You've spoiled
everything? It's only fun for you,
but— but I— " she choked a sob— "but
I can't play at It. that w a y !" She
turned and walked to the window
"Oh, I'm lo rry — rcelly." H all walked
toward her again. “ I didn’t mean— ”
"Oh. I care too much, I'm afraid.”
•he sobbed, and sat down mournfully,
refusing to look at him.
“ You
mean — Rosamund!"
He
stopped, bit his Up and looked at her
keenly. Rosamund could not be awak-
ward or ridiculous. The dedallan gods
had granted her the superb gift of
grace. She sat In a limp, dejected but
perfectly graceful attitude, a picture
of grief and wounded pride. A keener
man would have looked for more aban
don In ber woe, a touch of the gro-
tesqueneas of despair, something of
convincing Intensity. Perhaps Hall
himself, at any other time, when hla
mind was free, might have had a sus
picion that all was not genuine
But
now he saw only a woman who loved
him tenderly, aDd on whose emotion
he had carelessly played. A wave of
tenderness for her swept over him—
regret for his having touched her
keen nerve; but It was colored, also,
with the pride of the male in his con
quest. The chare had already excited
him. She was there, beautiful and
fond, his victim— conquered by his
force of personality. Try as ha might
to subdue this baseness, his egotism
rose triumphant over his sympathy.
The woman was his!
Then, with the thought, a lightning
flashed In his brain.
Here was the
thing to do! He must be married be
fore midnight.
Why not Rosamund
for his bride? Sbe was ready, wtlllug
to be von, affectionate, a beauty whom
he could be proud to exblbtt as his
wife
Mrs. Royalton might g ive him
prestlga. Introduce him to a smart set,
present him, as her dower, with influ
ence anJ position; but where would
she be beside the compelling beauty of
Rosamund Gale?
Carolyn, perhaps,
was better fitted to be hla mate— the,
too, was of the socially elect, and she
had youth. Youth? Had not Rosa
mund the full fragrance of Its charmsT
All this In a whirling Instant— then
with a swift rush, he bad her In hie
embrace.
"Rosamund, dear Rosamund!” he ex
claimed softly, " I did mean it— I want
you, dear! Let me love y o u !" How
careful he was to be bonestl " I want
you— for my wife, Rosamund I I must
have yo u !" He held her tight and
close; he kissed her more and more
fervently.
Slowly, slowly, she lifted her blu«
eyes to his. "Really, Hall? R e a lly Y’
Smiling through her tears, sha nestled
close.
"Then you do really lova me, Rosa
mund?” Hall asked, after a minute of
demonstration.
"Oh. H a ll!"
Sue ran ber fingers
through his hair.
Hall had a queer new eensatlon of
pleasure. So far he had thought only
of his marriage and his millions; but,
with Rosamund warm and soft In bis
arms, her hair In his eyes, her heart
beating so near— Rosamund had made
him forget, for a minute. F o» the mo
ment. If not in love with her. he was at
least fascinated.
She set his blood
afire. His eagerness was not all dis
simulation, when be said:
"Then we must be married immedi
ately! I can't wait, Rosamund. What a
the use of being engaged? 1 want you
now— toda y!"
