At all druffi;ts a i wanted to cut on supplies anti pos slble reinforcements. The Missouri battalion did not come up that day. but before noon a runner arrived from their Colonel, with information that they were hiding in the wood. Five Boche planes had been circling over the wood since dawn, signalling to the enemy Headquarters hack on Dauphin Ridge; the Missourians were sure they had Avoided detection by lying close in the under brush. They would come up In the night. Tfieir linemen were following the runner, and Col onel Scott would be in telephone com munication with them in half an hour. When B Company moved into the Boar's Head at I o'clock in the after noon. they could truthfully say that the prevailing smell was now; that of quick lime. The parapet was evenly built up. the firing step had been partly restored, and in the Snout there were good emplacements for the machine guns. Certain unpleasant re minders were still to la? found If one looked for them. In the Snout a large fat hoot stuck stiffly from the side of the trench. Captain Oweng explained that the ground sounded hollow in there, and the boot probably led hack into a dugout where a lot of Hun bodies were entombed together. As he was pressed for time, he had thought best not to Wok for trouble. In one of the curves of the loop. Just at the top of the eurth wall, under tile >and bags, a dark hand reached out; the five fingers, well apart, looked liked the swollen roots of soipe noxious Weed. Hicks declared that this object was disgusting, and dur ing the afternoon he made Nifty J.ones and Oscar scrape down some earth and make a hump over the paw. But there was shelling in tlie night, and the earth fell away. "Look." said Jones when he waken ed bis Sergeant. "The first thing I seen when daylight come was his old fingers, wigglin’ in the breeze. He wants air. Heinie does, he won’t stay covered.” Hicks got up and re-buried the hand himself, hut when he came around with Claude on inspection, before breakfast, there were the same five lingers sticking out again. The Ser geant's forehead puffed up and got red. and he swore that If he found the man who played dirty Jokes, he'd make him eat this one. The Colonel sent for Claude and fiierhardt to come to breakfast with him. Me had been talking by tele phone witli the Missouri officers and had agreed that they should stay back in the hush for the present. The con tinual circling of planes over the wood seemed to Indicate that the enemy was concerned about the actual strength of Moltke trench. It was possible their air scouts had seen the Texas men going hack, otherwise, whv were they holding <»ff? While the Colonel and the officers were at breakfast, a corporal brought in two pigeons he had shot at dawn. One of them carried a message under its wing. The Colonel unrolled a strip of paper and handed it to Ger ha rdt. "Yes. sir. it's in German, hut it's rode stuff. It's a German nursery rhyme. Those reconnoitering planes must have dropped scouts on our rear, and they are seeding in reports. Of course, they can get more on us than the air men can. Here, do you want these birds, Dick?" The boy grinned. "You bet I do. sir. I may get a chance to fry ’em later on." After breakfast the Colonel went to nspect B Company In the Boar's i Now a Sweet From Orange Grove* a Big Nickel’s Worth From Redlands in the heart of Cali fornia orange groves comes a treat that Californians love. It’s made of whole, luscious, rip ened oranges—juice and all—candied to perfection with pure Hawaiian sugar. It’s a sweet for children—grown ups, too. Good as it can be. Pure as mountain springs. Rich in the flavor of delicious or anges, with the tang of cooling breezes and delicate sweetness from Hawaiian plantations. Wonderfully good. Costs but a nickel. Sold everywhere. Allorange Confection Co. Redlands, California ALLORANGE Head. He was especially pleased with the advantageous placing of the ma chine guns in the Snout. '*1 expect you'll have a quiet day,” he said to the men, "but I wouldn’t like to prom ise you a quiet night. You'll have to be very steady in here; if Fritz takes this loop, he's got us, you under stand.” They had indeed, a quiet day. Some of the men played cards, and Oscar read his Bible. The night, too. began well. But at 4:15 everybody was roused by the gas alarm. Gas shells came over for exactly half an hour. Then the shrapnel broke loose; not the long, whizzing scream of solitary shells, but drum fire, continuous and deafening. A hundred electrical storms seemed raging at oncef in the air and on the ground. Balls of fire were rolling all over the place. The range was a. little long for the Boar's Head, they were not getting the worst of It; but 30 yards back everything was torn to pieces. Claude didn't see how anybody could be left alive back there. A single twister had killed six of his men at the rear of the loop, where they were shoveling to keep the communication clear. Captain Ow'ens’ neat earthworks were being badly pounded. Claude and Uerhardt were consult ing together when the smoke and darkness began to take on the livid color that announced the coming of daybreak. A messenger ran In from the Colonel; the Missourians had not yet come up, and his telephone com munication with them was cut off. He was afraid they had got lost In the bombardment. "The Colonel says you are to send two men back to bring them up; two men who ran take charge if they're stampeded." When the messenger shouted this order, Uerhardt and Hicks looked at each other quickly, and volunteered to go. Claude hesitated. Hicks and David waited for no further consent; thev ran down the communication snd dis appeared. Claude stood in the smoke that was slowly growing greyer, and looked after them' with the deepest stab of despair he had ever known. Only a man who was bewildered and unfit to he In command of othef men would have let his best friend and his best officer take such a risk. He was standing there under shelter, and his two friends were going back through that curtain of flying steel, toward the square from whit h the lost bat t.-alion had last reported. If he knew them, they would not lost time follow ing the maze of trenches; they were probably even now out on the open, running straight through the enemy barrage, vaulting trench tops. Claude turned and went back Into the loop Well, whatever happened, tie had worked with brave men. It was worth having lived In thii world to have known spch men Soldiers, when they were lit a tight place, often made aeepet propositions to Cod; and now lw found himself offering terms; If Thfcy would see to it that David came back, They eould take the price out of him. He would pay. Did They understand? (Continued In The Mornlnc Her.) Beatrice Fairfax Problems That Perplex Age No Barrier. Dear Miss Fairfax: Would it be foolish for a girl to marry a man five yeais her junior? Both arc of good character. Both look the same age; she looks and act* especially young. They have been going about together for fouy years. Ho has been extreme ly sincere and begs her not to let sue h a trifle interfere with their hap piness. But she fears public opinion. EVELYN. Public opinion in a question of this sort is not Important. If the young couple were planning to do anything in had taste or of questionable mor ality then "public opinion” (represent ing right and morality) would be a thing to respect and consider. But since the couple have love and under standing, the age question is no one's concern save their own, and since the young man thinks it a matter of no concern—that settles it! There is a lot in the old saying, 'Be sure you're light. Then go ahead." The Divorced Woman. Dear Miss FaiiTaax: I am 25. At a party six weeks ago I met a di vorced woman of about 21 and we fell in love with each other. an<| we have been going out since then about twice a week, hut the last time she asked me to Introduce her to my parents and I told her perhaps later.

ILLER Tires and Tubes are _ _ made from the same rubber that goes into Miller’s world standard surgical supplies and rub ber sundries. In the initial . preparation, the workmen do not know’whether they are mixing rubber for tires or for the most delicate rub ber goods on earth. They only know that every ounce of rubber must be as nearly perfect as man can make it! . * That's why you seldom see a Miller Geared-to-the Road Cord with a worn-out tread. The live, tough sur geon’s grade rubber resists the wear of travel and gives you positive traction throughout the long life of Miller Cords. Buy one to day, and notice that the tread will still be good even after any other tire you have is worn out! THE MILLER RUBBER COMPANY of NEW YORK. Akron. Ohio Sale and Service by Saves Money Time .
