YORKVILLE. 8. c.:
TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1914

Members of the Belgian legation in
Washington say that the marshes or
the User river. where the Germans
have been checked in their marches
toward Calais, constitute the same
territory that held back the legions of
Caesar on their campaign Of conquest
toward the seashore. Be this as 1t
may, 1t appears that the submergible
low lands near the lower reaches OF
the User have proved a most formid-
able barrier to the Germans, and the
already heavy loss of life will be still
heavier before the Channel ports are
taken.

as If she were puppet at the
nerve-ends of his will. She threw
herself across the space between
the two planes to the broken rod
and closed her eyes. But she
opened them to find that she had
bridged the gulf. When, with n
master workman's pride, she had
twisted the knot and let the
empty spool fall. she realized that
the Bolt was sailing steadily. She
cried aloud with the gratitude
of one who has received a great
gift.

Her last glimpse of him as she
set out to mend the broken rod
seemed to belong to another age.
She was conscious of his near
ness, even that his thoughts were
of her; his confident calls above
the surging of the air through
the planes and the whir of the
propeller were still eddying In
her ears when he now spoke In

A cyclonic whirlwind racked
the Bolt, playing with the ship
of the air as a zephyr plays with
a thistle-blow.
Careening, the Bolt all but
turned turtle as 1t emerged from
the deluging drive of rain.
Alice's blinded eyes accustom-
ing themselves to the light, she
saw what had happened. One OF
the Bolts great wings was bro
ken.
Freeing his hand from the
wheel for an instant, Sharp drew
from the tool box spool of cop
per wire, and then looked past
Alice to the break and uncon-
sciously shook his head. She saw
what was In his mind. To leave
his position meant that the Bolt
would capsize before he could

repeated, remembering the keys
to the mysteries. "Confidence!"
She exhibited It by disengaging
one of her hands and taking the
spool from him.
Can you crawl out on to the
lower plant and reach up to that
rod?" he asked, in such a way
that It seemed to her the worst
coward could not have said no.
Isn't that the only thing to
do?" she asked.
Yes. observation-disclosures.
The break lay four feet over her

herself as she reached aloft?
For the first time she looked
down.

Sharp. "Of course you cant"

added. Hold FAST It's all

do this, but 1t was the major OPP

thought, wildly.
"Whew! Must be the Bolt"
said Appleton. Going too fast to
be any other"
The Bolt was Rodney Sharp's
aeroplane, and she felt a peculiar
interest in Rodney Sharp's career.
1t was twelve years now since
they had met. From her carriage
she had watched him, youth of
eighteen, take an ignominious
tumble on the hillside back of the
Methodist church to the outlaws
of the local population. She had
spoken to him and he had smiled

that she could watch him at war

that he was positively inane. Must

talk with him all her life? she
asked herself. Good heavens!
