 The Greeks began their attack on |Euirus on Wednesday, first carry ng The outposts of the Visani fortifica- lions and then executing a successful nse to clear the way fer an effective snslaught on the Turkish forces at Janina.

CHAPTER III.
The story and .ha Le,tara.


Imagine. IL you please. the forest
primeyal; yes, the murmuring pines
and the hemlocks Of the poem as well,
BY the side OF a rapidly rushing noun
tain torrent fed by the eternal SHOWS
OF the lofty peaks Of the great range.
A level stretch OF grassy land where
q mountain brook Joined the creek
was dotted, with clumps OF pines and
great boulders rolled down from the
everlasting hills-half an acre OF open
clearing. On the opposite side OF the
brook the canon wall rose almost
sheer for perhaps five hundred feet,
ending in jagged, needle-edged pin
naeles Of rock, sharp, picturesque and
beautiful. A thousand feet above ran
the timber line. and four thousand
feet above that the crest OF the great
est peak in the main range.
The white tents Of the little encamp-
ment which had cleaned so brightly
in the clear air and radiant sunshine
OF Colorado, now stood dim and ghost
like In the red reflection of huge
campfire. 1t was the evening OF the
first day in the wilderness.
For. two days since leaving the
wagon. the Maitland party with It's
long train of burros heavily packed.
its horsemen, and the steady plodders
on foot. had advanced Into unexplored
and almost Inaccessible retreats Of
the mountains-into the primitive in
deed! In this delightful spot they had
pitched their tents and the perma-
nent camp had been made. Wood
was abundant, the water at hand was
as cold as ice, as clear as crystal and
as soft as milk. There was pas
turage for the horses and burros on
the other side of the mountain brook.
The whole place was a little amphI.
theater which humanity occupied per-
haps the first time since creation.
Unpacking the burros. setting mp
the tents. making the camp. building

they had arrived. Opportunity would

camp and .roared and rushed merrlly
around Its feet until, swelled by the
volume Of the brook, IT, lost itself in
tree-ciad depths far beneath. Tonight
rest after labor, tomorrow play after
rest. ~. /,
The evening meal was over. Enid
could not help think with what
scorn and contempt her father would
have regarded the menu. how his gorge
would have risen-hers, too, for that
matter!-had It been placed before
him on the old colonial mahogany OF
the dining.room In Philadelphia. But
up there in;the wilds she had eaten

NEW VERSES TO

Keeper.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The tune,
full melody and dainty lyric of the
Missouri houn' song warbled by Speak
er Champ Clark doomed through the
corridors of the capitol.
The houn' song has become the Off
cial slogan of the supporters of the
Clark presidential boom and Secretary
Bassford, the iord-high keeper of the
boom, passed out engraved copies of
the words and music OF the Missouri
anthem, altered to fit the purpose of
the Clark boom 1t read
Every time Champ Clark comes to
town
The boys start kickin' Joe Folk aroun'
Makes no difference if he is houn'
They gotta stop kickin' Joe Folk
aroun.'"
The speaker strolIed in while the
boom-keeper was making public the
Folk verse and suggested that the
song be sung this way:
Every time hear the SCUM
want to kick the writer roun'
Sounds like the bay of dying houn'
We ought.a keep kickin' the fool
aroun'
