light. Even after he came from Wainwright with that stricken look, there was above it ail a glory behind his eyes that not even that could change. For three days he went into the thick of the battle, moving from one hairbreath escape to another with the calmness of an angel who knows his life is not of earth, and on the fourth day there came the ajvf'u! battle, the struggle for a position that had been held by the enemy foy four years, and that had been declared impreg nable from the side of he allies. The boys all fought bravely and many fell, hut foremost of them all passing unscatched from height Jo height, Corporal Cam eron on the lead in fearlessness and spirit; and when the tide at last was turned and they stood triumphant among the dead, and saw trie 'enemy retiring in disor der, it was Cameron who was still in the forefront, his tyhite face and tattered uniform catching the last rays of the setting sun. Later when the survivors had al.l come together one came to the captain witli a white face and anxious eyes: “Captain, where’s Cammie? We ciyi’t find him anywhere.” “lie came a half hour ago and volunteered to slip through the enemy’s lines tonight and send us hack a message,” lie said in husky tones. “Hut, captain, lie was wound ed 1” “11c was?” The captain looked up startled, “llo said nothing about it!” “He wouldn’t, of course,” said the soldier, “lie’s that way. Hut lie was wounded in the arm. 1 helped him hind it up.” “How had?” “I don’t know, lie wouldn t let me look, lie said he would attend to it when he got back. “Well, lie’s taken u wireless in his pocket and crept across No Man’s hand to find out what the enemy is i?oing to do. lie’s wearing a dead Jerry’s uni form-!’’ The captain turned and brushed the back of bis hand across hh< eyes and a low sound between a sob and a whispered cheer went up from the gathered remnant as they rendered hom age to their comrade. For three dajK the messages came floating in, telling vital se crets that were of vast strategic value. Then the messages ceased, and the anxious officers and comrades looked in vain for word. Two more days passed - three—and still no sign that showed that he was alive, and the word went foVth “Missingl” and “Missing” he was pro claimed in the newspapers at home. That night there was a lull in the sector where Cameron’s company was located. No one could guess what was going on across the wide dark space called No Man’s Land. The captain sent anxious messages to other officers, and the men at the lis tening posts had no clue to give. It was raining and a chill bias ■sleet that cut like knives was driving from the northeast. Water trickled into the dugouts, and soppen through the trenches, and the men shuddered their way along dark passages and waited. Only scattered artillery fire lit up the heavens here mid there. It was a night when all hell seemed let loose to have its way with earth. The watch tpaced hack : ml forth and prayed or cursed, and counted the min utes till his watch would be up. Across the blackness of No Man’s Land pock-marked with great shell craters, there raged a tem pest, and even a Hun would turn his back and look the other way in such a storm. .Slowly, oh so slow that not. even the earth would know it was moving, there crept a dark creature forth from the enemy line. A thing all of spirit could not have gone more invisibly. Lying like a stone as motionless for spaces uncountable, stirring every muscle with a controlled movement that could stop at any breath, lying under the very nose of tlu? guard without being seen for long minutes, anil gone^when next he passed that way; slowly, painfully gaining ground, with a track of blood where the stones were cruel, and holding of breath when the fitful flare lights lit up the way; covered at times by mud, slippery and sharp and nev i'aiiit and sick, but continuing to creep; chilled and sore and stiff, blinded and bleeding and torn, shell holes and stones and miring mud, slipper and sharp and nev er ending, the long, long trail-J “Halt!” came a sharp, clear voice through the night. . “Pat! Come here! What is that?” whispered the guard. “Now watch! I’m sure 1 saw it move- There! I’m going to it!” “Better look out!” But he was off and back with something in his arms. Something in a ragged blood-soaked German uni form. They turned a shaded Wash light into the face and looked : “Pat, it’s Cammiel” The guard was sobbing. At sound of the dear old name the inert mass roused to action. “Tell Cap—they’re planning to slip away at five in the morn ing. Tell him if he w'ants to catch them he must do it now 1 Don’t mind me! Go Quick 1” The voice died away and the head dropped hack. With a last wistful look Pat was off to the captain, hut the guard gathered Cameron up in his arms tenderly and nursed him like a baby, crooning over him in the sleet and dark, till Pat came back with a stretcher and some men who bore him to the dressing station lying inert be tween them. While men worked over his silent form Ids message was flash ing to headquarters and back over the lines to all the posts along that front. The time had come for the big drive. In a short time a great company of dark forms stole forth across-No Man’s Land till they seemed like a wide dark sea creeping on to engulf the enemy. Next morning the newspapers of the world set forth in mons trous type the glorious victory and how the Americans had stol en upon the enemy and cut them off from the rest of their army, wiping out a whole salient. But while the world was re joicing, John Cameron lay on his. little hard stretcher in the tent and barely breathed. He had not opened his eyes nor spoken again. CHAPTER XX. A nurse stepped up to the doc tor’s desk: “A new girl is here ready for duty. Is there any special place you want her put?” she a^ked in a low tone. The doctor looked up with a frown: “One of those half-trained Americans, I suppose?” he growled. “Well, every little helps. I’d give a good deal for half a dozen fully trained nurses just now. Suppose you send her to relieve Miss Jennings. She can’t do any harm to number •29.” “Isn’t there any hope for him?” the nurse asked, a shade of sadness in her eyes. “I'm afraid not!” said the doctor shortly. “He won’t take any interest in living, that’s the trouble. He isn’t dying of his wounds. Something is troubling him. But it’s no use trying to find out what. Ho shuts up like a clam.” The new nurse flushed out side the door as she beard her self discussed and shut ‘her firm little lips in a determined way as she followed the head nurse down the long rows of cots to an alcove at the end where a screen shut the patient from view. Miss Jennings, a plain girl with tired eyes, gave a few di rections and she was left with her patient. She turned toward the cot and stopped "with a soft gasp of recognition, her face growing white and set as she took in the dear familiar outline \ of the fine young face before her. Evt ry word she had heard outside the doctor’s office rang distinctly in her ears. He was dying. He did not want to live. With another gasp that was like a soli she slipped to her knees beside the cot, forgetful of her I duties, of the ward outside, or the possible return of the nurses, forgetful of everything but that | he was there, her hero of the I year. She reached for one of his | hands, the one that was not bau i daged, and she laid her soft cheek against it. and held her , breuth to listen. Perhaps even now behind that quiet face the spirit had departed beyond her grasp. There was jio flutter of the eyelids even. She could not see that he still breathed, although his hand was not cold, and his face when she touched it still seemed human. She drew closer in an agony of fear, and laid her lips against his cheek, and then her face softly, with one hand about his other cheek. Her lips were close to his ear now. “dolin'” seb whispered softly, “John! My dear knikht!” There was a quiver of the eye lids now, a faint hesitating sigh. She touched her lips to his and spoke his name again. A faint smile fliekeicd over his features as if he were seeingpother worlds ! of beauty that had no connection here. But still she continued to press her face against his cheek and whispered his name. (To Be Continued Next Week) By Arthur Brisbane. Olvo credit to England, old and wise.

The Protestant Episcopal church officially approves healing by faith. Clergymen and laymen who think they have healing powers are now allowed “by caro and prayer and theological and medical study,” to prepare for proper safe faith healing. In the old days described by the bible there was less caution and preparation. If you had faith as big as a mustard seed, mountains would move at your command. "And He sent them to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.”—St. Luke, IX, 2. * France will borrow—chiefly from United us probably, four' or five thousand million francs.

ORDERS ALL VESSELS TO CLOSE BARS Chairman Lasker Uses Wire less to Notify Boats of At torney General’s Ruling— Plan Fight in Courts. BY WILLIAM P. FLYTHE, Universal Service Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 9.—Chairman Lasker of the United States shipping board Monday sent wireless messages to all American vessels on the high seas ’directing them to close their bars immediately and dump their li quors in the sea. Ship masters were warned that no liquor can be served after receipt qf the dispatch. So anx ious are officials that the decision of Attorney General Daugherty be en forced that Mr. Lasker demanded acknowledgement of the order. Chairman Lasker's message fol lows: Sends Drastic Order. “The sale, transportation or pos session of liquor on ships operated by you Is prohibited. I want to make it clear that the sale or service of li quor on American vessels should be stopped at once, whether in port or at sea. “I want to have it thoroughly un derstood by every one concerned. If you have not already done so, wireless and cable to all ships at sea or in foreign ports and secure acknow ledgement to be sure there is no mis understanding.” This hasty action was made nec essary because of some confusion concerning the hastily drawn up reg ulations, it was said. Many operators believed they cofUd serve liquors on board ship until they reached an American, port and telegraphed for instructions. Shipping board officials said that they intended that as fast as ships picked up the message their bars would be'closed. Parties in progress are to be halted. The bartender is to untie his apron, get from behind tiie mahogany, and the door is to be sealed, they say. Prepare Legal Opinions. Officials of the treasury aral state departments put in most of the day In conferences trying to straighteh out many of the tangles In the new rill ing. / Department of justice experts were busy preparing legal opinions in an ticipation of court action. American ship owners as well as foreign gov ernments are confidently expected to violate the regulatldh to force a test ease. In this way, It was said. It could be rushed to the supreme court and a final decision made. Officials were not clear on the regulations concerning Panama and the Philippines. The Canal Zone is exempted from the provisions of the Volstead act Insofar as the trans portation of liquor is concerned. The Panama Railroad is permuted to transport liquor. Secretary of War Weeks takes the view that while ships may pasa through the canal with liquor on board, they may not dock at Amer ican wharves. He said there are no others and that unless this phase ol the situation is cleared up the re public of Panama will have to go without its liquor. The zone Is under army administration. There is a sharp division on wheth er the regulations apply to the Philip pines. Treasury officials hold the view that foreign ships will not be permitted to touch at the islands with liquor aboard.
