Therefore I had no doubt that, so far as legal forms were ooncerned, I was married to Mr. Gordon without having gone through any form of legal separation from my dearly beloved and altogether trusting husband. What would be the outcome? Would there be disagreeable entanglements which I would have to clear away? Did Mr. Gordon know that he and I were "married," and if so, what would be his attitude toward the marriage and toward me?

I cared very little what he thought Of me. I had tried for some time to see to it that his way and mine did not run together, but through the perversity of fate I had failed. Each time that I had thought that my life was freed of the menace of his presence I wa^ awakened to a realization that he was beside me. As I thought of him now it seemed to me that some ominous shadow was following me through life, a shadow which I could not rid myself of, try as I might. It seemed that as far back as I could remember hi8 influence gripped me and that it

The Confessions of Roxane

By FRANCES WALTER.

(COtfyrtrllt, toy the McClur* i\enspaper S|a(He«te.»

A STRANGE SITUATION. A little rest was all that was nece»sary to cause my naturally vigorous constitution to reassert its strength. A night's slee^ and I awoke with the blood coursing through my veins in the old way. But the recollection of the events of the last twenty-four hours sobered me.

It is not ©very woman who- can be married according to a perfectly legal formula to a man who has made ardent love to her and still not be married to him. That was my predicament. So far as I knew every legal requirement had been complied with when I was "married'' to Mr. Gordon. Dr. Ward was afraid not to have a regular license and he had sent for a clergyman because, vtfry likely, he could not have induced any one to impersonate a clergyman: Or he might have been fearful that Mr. Gordon's keen suspicious, although partly irrational mind, might have detected any irregularity in the proceedings. To the physician the safest way w^-s the best way, however unlawful it might hava been.

was a sinister influence I could not doubt. He it was who had almost caused me to leave Arthur Pembroke. His were the first lips which ever had dared to breathe love to me as a married woman. His was the first heart which dared to defy the law which had bound me to my husband and seek to claim me for its own. And ever- since that time I had bee* but momentarily free from the spell which he cast over me. Now I had come to the point to which he had long wanted to bring me. I was married to him by the form of law if by nothing else.

A sadden blackness swept before my erves and cold perspiration broke out upon my forehead, when it flashed through my mind that the whole thing might have been a plot to get me into Mr. Gordon's power. Was he capable of executing such a scheme? Had he feigned Illness and had his confederate, Dr. Ward, done the rest?

The idea filled me with inexpressible dread. Yet, as I thought the matter over, it did not seem possible that he could have succeeded in such a conspiracy. It frequently happens that accident plays stranger tricks than design ever couW" accomplish, and on that theory my present unenviable situation could only be the result of accident.

But I knew what I should do if I were driven to it. I would tell the whole story to Kenneth. I probably would tell him anyhow, but if any attempt were made by Mr. Gordon to pretend that the /'marriage" should be regarded seriously it would not take me long to reach my husband's side. There, I was confident, I could meet the support and sympathy which I felt that I deserved.

After all, my situation, while disagreeable, was not at all hopeless. My conscience, at least, was clear and whatever others might say I would know that my motives throughout the entire affair were humane and nothing more.

With this thought I dressed In the hospital room where I had spent the night and prepared to meet Mariarn, and possibly Mr. Gordon.

the Prussians," declared Dr. Wm. T. Ellis, of Swarthmore, Pa., who arrived here last night on a French liner, In describing fighting three weeks ago in the American sectors Apremont, northwest of Toul, which he witnessed. "Our boys fought like heroes," he continued, "although they were outnumbered four to one. I saw one soldier, a Greek by birth, who had Joined the army in New York. His rifle was shot from his hands, but he drew a knife, leaped forward and killed a German lieutenant. The Americans never gave an inch and always drove the enemy back. They did not lose a prisoner, but captured three truckloads of enemy."

Albert Van Hecke, formerly a professor in the University of Louvalne, and now secretary to the Belgian secretary of public works, also was on board the liner. He will make a tour of this country studying industrial conditions in preparation far the restoration of Belgium. "If I had not been on the spot I would not believe some of the instances of bravery—motion picture stuff you you might call lt_ One captain, from Boston, who was a dry goods merchant at home, was in the trench*when German sappers started to move forward, preparatory to a raid. "This captain ripped off his shoulder straps to prevent identification by the Germans and seized a rifle. 'To hell with the saps' he shouted to his men, and went over the top In the lead. "Well, they captured the German trench said came back with prisoners, the captain being unharmed."

Shells Made Hats Rattle

BldKNEUU Ind., May S.—Owlght MoCormick, eon of Mr. and Mrs. John McCormlck, has written a letter from France, in which he describes some air battles, night barrage lire and the warm love of the French people for the American soldiers. The letter follows: "We are billeted with French families and they surely appreciate our presence. The old lady holds a candle for us every night to unharness our horses. She is all the time praising the Americans. The French houses and barAs are all built together, and a great many times, when we stop for the night, the hay mow is fiLled with French and Italian soldiers. Just imagine us climbing up in the mow, in the darkness, and piling in among these fellows. Of all the jabbering you ever heard of, it certainly takes place there. "Today we had an air battle in fact, it is an every-day occurrence. The one today was right over us, where we liad our horses picketed in a hollow. They each had a machine gun, dipping and shooting at each other. Pretty soon qui--artillery opened up on the German plane, and you ought to have seen it take to cover, as they will not sta'nei for muoh firing. The shrapnel began to fall, pieces resembling broken plow points. "But thatf was nothing compared to the one we had the other day. We were doing some work, as making fences, and shells began falling in the woods near us, bursting right over our heads. Talk about tin hats rattling:

Mine sore did, Just like rain'on a-tin roof. A piece hit my hat and I dropped flat. Our orders are to drop flat when we hear one coming, and every one laughs at the other fellow when this takes place. "I actually saw the German armies marching, through field glasses. 1 am back from the front lines in the day time, and go back to the front lines at night, where I stay until 1 o'clock. "We were awakened the other morning by an attack from the Germans by barrage fire. Not thinking of the war, one would have said it was a beautiful sight, with the ground covered with srow, and with the star shells bursting in the air. But in a little while the French and Americans opened fire, and of all the noise! In an hour or so the Germans were stopped. The French and Americans are too much for them.
