and using the handkerchief from about
his throat, was washing away the
blood that matted her hair. Now that
his fingers felt the wound, he realized
the force of the blow stunning her, al.
though it's outward manifestation was
slight. Her figure trembled in his
arms and her eyes opened, gazing up
wonderingly at the black outlines Of
his shadow. Then she made an effort
as though to draw away.

voice; lis it really you? Where are
we? What has happened?'
He told her rapidly, his face bent
close, realizing that she was clinging
to him again as she had once before

lifted one hand to her wound.

II can hardly comprehend-yet.
Please explain again; they are back
there watching for us still, believing
we are in the coach; they will follow
our trail as soon as it becomes day
light. Why-why, the sky is brighter
over in the east already, isn't it?
What was it you said we must do?"
Get across the river; once hidden
in those sand-dunes over there Well

Across the river" she repeated the
words DULY, sitting up to stare out to-
ward the water. Then her head sank
into her hands. Can we-can we
ever do that?"
Hamlin bent forward on his knees
striving with keen eyes, sharpened by
his nights experience, to learn more
of what lay before them The move.

Needs,

Weeds have been aptly defined as
plants out Of their proper place. Thus,
Kentucky blue grass is a treasure in
corn field. We are all more or less
familiar with what we generally call
weeds--dandelion, pusley, quack grass,
thistles, burdock, pigweed, MULLEN,
milkweed, and many others, because
these plants are always out of place,
as far as the ordinary back yard farm
err is concerned
They are easily controlled in the
flower beds, because these beds are
usually small in size, the soil is loose
and the weeds pull out easily. and if
you wait long enough your wife will
probably get disguised and pull them
herself.
In the vegetable garden, it is an EN-
tirely different proposition, however,
Here the weeds start about two laps
ahead Of the earliest vegetables, hay
ing planted themselves the year be-
fore in preparation for a flying start.
The soil is firm and they anchor
themselves for the season in a very
determined manner.
If we assail them early, before they
are anchored, we can win out, but they
never give up the battle and success
is the result Of constant labor. It's
really remarkable, too, how a man
grows weaker as the gardening season
progresses.
The sun gets hotter, the hoe duller,
the weeds more defiant, the soil hard
er, the mosquitoes start business
earlier and stay later, and it is only
the thought of previous labor invested
that saves most gardens about the
Fourth Of July.
Under such discouraging conditions

FRANCE MAKES APPEAL
TO PEOPLE FOR SUPPORT

Asks All TO Submit Cheerfully to
Increase of Active Service to
Three Years.

PARIS. March s.-An appeal 20 the
people OF France to submit cheerfully
to the patriotic sacrifices called for by
the new Military Bill increasing the
term OF service In the active army to
three years instead OF two was made
to-day when the cabinet submitted the
measure to Parliament.
When the bill was laid on the table
Of the Chamber OF Deputies, Il was
accompanied by declaration from the
Ministry expressing the profound con-
viction that the proposal must be adopt
ell not only for the security Of France.
but for the peace OF Europe. which de-
Ponds entirely ON the equilibrium OF
tanned.
Tho Government asks also that men
now serving their second year In the
army be kept with the colors for a
third year. The measure will add to
the peace effective OF the French army
10000 men, and not 10000. as was at
hrst stated, since greater care is TO be
exercised In the selection OF recruits.
The system OF two years service
which has been in existence since 1898
has. according to tho Government,
proved insufficient for the complete
training Of the men, while the decrease
IN the birth rate In France also tended

The close Of the mars was marked
by another artillery salute and the
