"Old Grif'' we called him. and on
the surface the name fitted him admi-
rably. He was Lieutenant Colonel
Charles L. Griffin of the United States
artillery and commanded the seacoast
fort at which / was stationed. He
didn't look like a griffin at all. he got
the name from the fact that he was a
strict disciplinarian and when on duty
gave his orders in a sharp and rasping
lone.

May. who really commanded. because,
while her father ordered the rest Of us
about, his daughter had him complete
~ under her thumb. His eyesight was
defective, and this rendered him liable
to make mistakes. Across the parade
he couldn't tell a gun carriage from an
ambulance, and he was constantly mis-
taking one person for another.
One morning Ned Perkins, a junior
officer like myself, came to me looking

"Why not?"
HE says that all the leaves that can

Ned didn't tell me just why he was SO
anxious to go to see Miss Trowbridge,
but he had conided enough before to
enable me to infer the cause correctly.
He was on the ragged edge with the
young lady. while she was on the rag

low, a civilian. being uncertain which
to accept. Ned hoped that If he could
get to Atlantic City while she was
there he could clinch the matter. IF
not he believed that the other man
would in time get the girl. A civilian
does not necessarily have to ask per-
mission to go where he likes, but a
soldier is on or OFF duty under the or
ders Of a superior. If Perkins could
have told the colonel the circumstances
doubtless he would have got his leave.

COOKING LETTUCE.
A Useful Vegetable That May Be Pre-
pared In Many Ways.

The succulent lettuce is a vegetable
Of much adaptability. OF course as the
basis Of a salad it always has been and
always will be invaluable. AS a gar
nish for cold meats it viii always
stand first among vegetable decora-
tons. but it also has many other posi-
bilities.
Take several heads Of heavy lettuce
and boil them In gently simmering wa
ter. When done place In lengths on
hot plates, pour yer a brown sauce to
which has been added tomato, and the
result is a most delicate vegetable.
Another way is to cut out a little OF
the heart Of the lettuce. placing in the
hollow thus made a tomato. Cook un-
til tender and then serve with a brown
gravy.
A very pretty way to serve lettuce is
to take a perfect head and curl back
the leaves. Place under the lower
leaves cucumbers cut in slices, under
the next leaves slices Of tomato and
nearer the top a few nuts finely ground.
Serve with salad dressing.

The chauffeur, who was alone, drove
the car through Putney toward Brattle-

bridge in Murder hollow and was part
way up the hil on the south side when
something happened to one of the tires
Setting the brake, the driver alighted to
make repairs, and while he was thus en-
gagged the car began to run backward
down the hill the brake failing to hold.
The chauffeur did his utmost to hold the
car, but without avail, and it ran off the
embankment, going down about a. feet.
In its descent it made one complete turn
end over end.
Almost Immediately the car took fire
and the driver summoned Robert III.
Hinckley, who has a garage in Putney.
Mir Hinckley went to the scene with a
fire extinguisher, but the distance was 50
great that before he arrived the wreck
was complete one or two tires being
about ali that was saved There were IL

one stroke behind Hagen.

the best double round of the tOurna-

nearly every time His irons were nearly
all perfect, but in the last nine holes
he missed three short puts.

The barn was struck by lightning, and
was the second barn on that site to be

lied to call help from all around, and
each man responded with a bucket or
pail. From the brook nearby they
passed water to others on the roof of
the shed and the ell of the house, and
aided by the heavy rain it was pOssi-
bic for them to save all the buildings
but the barn. About 10 men worked to
save Mr.. AIellen 5 house, and it was
the hottest sort of work for those who

GREATEST IN HISTORY.
Stage Set for Biggest Battle World Has
Ever known.

PARIS, August %. - Military critics.
who have watched closely the opera
tions of the week declare that in Bel
2ium the stage is set for such fearful
clash of arms as the world has never
known.
Lieut-Col Roussel, an authority on
military matters, saws that the battle
has already begun, and that along
front of nearly 80 miles the German
forces are facing the allies He esti-
mates that 100000 men, the best of
Germany, France, England and Bel
gium, are taking part in the conflict.
Other authorities agree that the time
has arrived for a decisive trial Of
strength. Since Tuesday the right
wing of the vast German force had
been advancing, pressing the Belgians
back to Brussels and then to Antwerp,
while the center has been moving to
meet the allies with the deliberateness
and momentum of great bodies. Opin-
ions vary as to the Importance of the
German triumphs over the Belgians tC
| the north. In the opinion of ardent
Frenchmen the taking of Brussels /;
| of little strategic Importance.
1t is asserted that the French genera
staff has discounted Just such a move
on the part of Germany, and that th'
positions of the French divisions hay'
/ been taken up accordingly. Far from
i being unprepared the general staff ha
i estimated the present circumstances t
4 a nicely and is prepared to deal wit
them under the best auspices.
