$1,000 STILL DUE
ONSWINM|NGPOOL
Citizens are Urged to Subscribe
to the Support of This Great
Pleasure Place

There is still a balance of 81 900
to be paid on the swimming pool.
Fifteen hundred dollars has been
subscribed for out of the old debt
OF twenty-five hundred dollars.
1t would be a nice thing to get
the pool cleared of debt this season
SO that contemplated improvements
might be 'gone ahead with early in
the spring.
There are, no doubt, many persons
who enjoy the pool who have not
been approached and asked to sub.
scribe for the reduction of the debt.
1t is impossible to make a house to
house canvass, so those who have
not already subscribed are requested
to send thier subscription to either
M. n. Weeks or J. B. Arpin.
No matter what your station in
life may be, you can subscribe some
thing, even if it is but one dollar
The swimming pool has been a
blessing to many people during the
hot days and those who use it sure
ly ought to feel that they can pay
at least a dollar towards it's support.

SUGAR To
Be HIGHER

According to Robinsonis Sugar
Market Report dated Aug 30, 1914.
the immediate future in sugar looks
quiet with higher prices in Septem
Der.
The report says: cit is extremely
difficult at this time to give an In
telligent opinion of the future mar
ket. The most highly regarded au
thority in this country haas this to
say: We must look for further adj
vance if the war continues into Octo-
ber.'
The advance in sugar is particu--
larly explained by the statement
that the best sugar fields OF Europe
are on the Belgian border, where
the fighting lis reported. Another
thing to consider is that European
armies are made up of harvest hands
in uniform and without labor the
crop must fail.
Three years ago refined sugar sold
for 5 95c and reached lie by the
last Of September This advance was
caused by the great drought In Du-
rope. This war may do vastly great
er damage than the drought of 1911.

CHAPTER TX.
The Baptism Of Fire.

nv " - "
All the landscape in front Of Fra
casse's company seemed to have been
deserted; no moving figures were any,
where in sight; no sign of the enemy's
infantry.
Family the town clock was heard
striking the hour. From eight to nine
and nine to ten Fracasse's men wait.
ed; waited until the machine was
ready and Westerling should throw in
the clutch; waited until the troops
were Ia place for the first move before
he hurled his battalions forward.
They did not know how the captain at
their back received his orders; they
only heard the note Of the whistle,
with a command familiar to a trained
instinct on the edge of anticipation. It
released a spring in their nerve-cen-
tiers. They responded as the wheels
respond when the throttle is opened.
Jumping to their feet they broke into
a run, bodies bent, heads down, like
the peppered silhouette that faced
Westerling's desk. What they had
done repeatedly in drills and maneu-
vers they were now doing in war, me-
chemically as marionettes.
Come on! The bullet is not made
that can get me! Come on!" cried the
giant Eugene Aronson.
Nearly all felt the exhilaration of
movement in company. Then came
the sound that generations had drilled
for without hearing; the sound that
summons the Imagination of man in
the thought of hSw he will feel and
act when he hears it; the sound that
is everywhere like the song snatches
of bees driven whizzing through the
air.
That's It'll, We're under fire! We're
under fire!" flashed crooked light
ming recognition of the sound through
every brain.
There was no sign OF the enemy;
no telling where the bullets came
from.
Whish-whish! Thipp-whing! The
refrain gripped Peterkin's imagination
with an unseen hand, He seemed to
be suffocating. He wanted to throw
himself down and hold his hands in
front of his head. While Pilzer and
Aronson were not thinking, only run
ming, Peterkin was thinking with the
rapidity of a man falling from high
building. He was certain only that
he was bound to strike ground.
AN inch is as good as a mile!" He
recollected the captains teaching.
Only one of thousand bullets fred

in war ever kills a man"-but he was
already. He looked around to find
that he was still keeping up with Eu-
gene and felt the thrill of the bravery
of fellowship at sight Of the giants.
flushed, confident face reveling in the
spirit Of a charge. And then, Just
then, Eugene convulsively threw up
his arms, dropped his rife, and
whirled on his heel. AS he went down
his hand clutched at his left breast
and came away red and dripping,
After one wild backward glance, Pc
terkin plunged ahead.
'Eugene!" Hugo Mallin had stopped
and bent over Eugene in the supreme
Instinct of that terrible second, sup
porting his comrades head.
"The bullet is not-made-" Eugene
whispered, the ruling passion strong
to the last. A flicker of the eyelids, a
gurgle in the throat, and he was dead.
Here, you are not going to get out
this way!" Fracasse shouted, in the
irritation of haste, shaping Hugo with
his sword. go on! That's hospital
corps work"
Hugo had glimpse of the captains
rigid features and a last one of Eu-
genes, white and still and yet as IL
he were about to speak his favorite
boast; then he hurried on, his side
glance showing other proserate forms,
One form a few yards away half rose
to call "Hospitall" and fell back,
struck MORALLY by a second bullet.
That's what you get If you forget
instructions" said Fracasse with no
sense of brutality, only professional
evaporation. Keep down, you wound
ed men!" he shouted at the top Of his
voice.
The colonel OF the 12Sth had not
looked for immediate resistance. He
had told Fracasse's men to occupy the
knoll expeditiously. But by the com
mon impulse of military training, mo-
less than in answer to the Whistles
call, in face of the whitening fire they
dropped to earth at the base Of a
knoll, where Hugo threw himself
down at full length in his place in line
next to Peterkin.
Fire pointblank at ..ther crest In
front Of you! l saw, d couple Of men

Fire tastt That's the way to keep
down their fire-pointblank, tell you!
You're firing into the sky! want to
see more dust kicked up. Fire fastl
Well have them out Of there soon!
They're only an outpost"
Hugo was firing vaguely, like a man
in dream. Pilzer was shooting to
kill. His eye had the steely CLEAN
of his rifle sight and the liver patch
on his cheek was a deeper hue as he
sought to avenge Eugene's death.
Drowned by the racket of their own
fire, not even Peterkin was hearing
the whish-whish of the bullets from
Dellarme's company now. He did not
know that the blacksmith's son, who
