The pikes RIewn Up.


 ATE had cursed our luck, says
 Ak&1 Barnet, that we could not
 get to our quarters at Ak
 maar that night. There, we were told were provisions, tobacco and everything for which we craved- But the main canal from Zaandam and Amsterdam was hopelessly jam med with craft, and we were glad of a chance opening that enabled us to get out of the main column and lie up in a kind of little harbor very much neglected and weed grown before a de serted house We broke into this and found some herrings in 8 barrel, heap of cheeses and stone bottles of gin in the cellar, and with this cheer ed my starving men We made fires and toasted the cheese and grfIled our herrings. None of US had slept for nearly forty hours, and I determined to stay in this refuge until dawn, and then, if the traffic was still choked. leave the barge and march the rest of the way into A1kmaar.
 "sThis place we had got into was per haps a hundred yards from the canal, and underneath a little brick bridge we could see the f1oti1Ia still and hear the voices of the soldiers. Presently i've or SIX OEAGE DaT20S came through and lay up in the mere near by us, and with two of these full of men of the Antrim regiment I shared my find of provisions. In return we got to- bacco. A large expansee Of water spread to the westward of us. and be- yond were cluster of roofs and one or two church towers. The barge was rather cramped for so many men. and I let several squads, thirty or forty perhaps altogether, bivouac on the bank. did not let them go into the house on account of the furniture, and left a note of indebtedness for the food we had taken. We were par tfeulariy glad Of our tobacco and fires because of the numerous mosquitoes that rose about us

DON'T DIsToRT YOUR FAoE.

One of the chief charms Of a pret- ty face is delicate. satiny skin, free from all disnguring cfeases. If you have not this attribute of beauty, but
 aIas own to a wrinkled face, would it not be we'll to find out why these lines exist?
 If, upon investigation. you find that the ugly furrows are not caused by Withered tissues, you will know that your foolish habit Of creasing and dfs- torting your face is responsible for those enemies to woman's beauty wrinkles.

AS rne sun sank WeSfWard the spec tacle must have become little 1ndis- dnet because of a golden haze; every thing must have become warmer and more glowing, and because of the lengthening of the shadows more mani festIy in relief. The shadows of the tall churches grew longer and longer until they touched the horizon and mingled in the universal shadow; and then, slow and soft, and wrapping the world in fold after fold of deepen ing blue, came the night-the night at first obscurely simple, and then with faint points here and there, and then jeweled in darkIing splendor with hundred thousand lights. Out of that mfngling Of darkness and ambiguous glares the noise of an unceasing ac- tivity would have arisen, the louder and plainer now because there was no longer any distraction of sight
 It may be that watcher, drifting in the pelIucid gulf beneath the stars, watched all through the night; it may be that he dozed. But if he gave way to so natural procliy1ty, assuredly on on the fourth night of the great flank march he was aroused, for that was the night of the battle in the air that decided the fate of Holland.
 
 and suddenly about him, above and below, with cries and uproar rushing out of the four quarters of heaven, striking, plunging, oversetting, soaring to- the zenith and dropping to the ground, they came to assail or defend the myriads below.
 Secretly the central European power had gathered his flying machines to- gether and now he threw them as giant might fling handful of ten thousand knives over the low country. And amidst that swarming flight were five that drove headlong for the sea walls of Holland, carrying atomic bombs From north and west and south the allied aeropIanes rose in re sponse and swept down upon this sud den attack. So 1t was that war in the air began. Men rode upon the whirI- wind that night and slew and fell like archangels. The sky rained heroes upon the astonished earth Surely the last fights of mankind were the best. What was the heavy pounding of your Homeric swordsmen. what was the creaking charge of chariots beside this swift rush, this crash. this giddy Ei- umph, this headlong swoop to death2
 And then athwart this Whirling rush of aerial duels that swooped and lock ed and dropped in the void between the lamp lights and the stars came a great wind and crash louder than thunder, and first one and then a score of Iengthening fiery serpents plunged hungrily down upon the Dutchmen's dikes and struck between land and sea and fared up again in enormous columns of glare and crim- soned smoke and steam.
 And out of the darkness 1eaped the little land, with its spires and trees. aghast with terror, still and distinct, and the sea, tumbled with anger, red foaming like sea of blood
 Over the popu1ous country below went 9 strange multitudinous crying and furry of alarm bells.
 The surviving aeropIanes turned about and fled out of the sky like things that suddenly know themselves to be wicked.
 Through a dozen thunderously fam ing gaps that no water might quench the waves came roaring in upon the land.
