All, here 1t is! The sliding rail
That marks the old remember
ed spot;
The gap that struck our school

The crooked path across the
lot.

church,
A penciled shadow. nothing
more,
That parted from the silver
birch
And ended at the farmhouse

No line or compass traced its
plan:
With frequent bends to left or

In aimless, wayward curves it
ran.
But always kept the door in
sight.

Who Destroyes the Crop

Considerable complaint is be-
ing heard from the outside dis
tricts about the melon patches
being destroyed by crowds who
visit the places without permis'
sion and as a general rule after
dark. While the growers in
most instances, do not care for
the few melons taken they do
think that the vines should be left
alone and not trampled to death
or ruthlessly cut. Some of the
folks who take the melons per-
haps don't stop to think that they
are destroying property which is
valuable and from which some
people, at least, had hoped to
derive some profit.
If the young folks, or for that
matter any one else are deter
mined to secure the fruit of the
vines in this manner they should
at least have some respect for the
man-wno did the labor and was
considerate enough to plant the

GERMAN AlRMAN FIGHTS OFF TWO
 RIVAL AVIAT0RS

Berlin Sept. B. via London, Sept. g 8 a. m.-Sergeant Major Worner of the aviation corps returned today from the flights over the French and British troops. Speaking of his experiences, he took the opportunity to pay a trib- ute to the valor, bravery and daring of the British troops.
 He described as his most thrilling flight one in which lac baettIed with two aeroplaI1es of the enemy, one g British bip1ane and the other a French nonoplane. Both were much faster than his machine which was old and battered.
 My two enemies flew beside and about me for a. long tirne,'' he said. 1T expected momentarily that they would throw bombs but apparently they had none. Both of them fired revolvers re- peated1y in my direction and replied with my revolver, but none of the shots were effective. After an anxious quarter of an hour I drew them to- ward the German lines and they were compel1ed to withdraw
 The wires were silent today and there was no important news from either the eastern or western fronts, but the quiet is probably only a pre- Iiminary to events of great impor- tance. All eyes here were turned eastward to the hard pressed Austrian army on Gaicta where the importance of administering a check to the Rus sian invading army appears quite as great, from a. general point of view,

OLD-TNfE FIGHT FANS WALKED MANY MILES
 TO SEE BATTLES

Before the outbreak of the war we read much of the enthusiasm Of Brit ishers over the revival of the boxing game. and. of matches being pulled off all over England, with big crowds cheering the gladiators The fervor of the fight fans of this era is mild and weak, however, compared with that of the ring followers of the mid nineteenth century. As a case in point, when Bendigo and Ben Caunt fought for the champ onship siXty-nine years ago today, Sept. g, 1S45, at Lilling- stone Level, not less than 1O.00 spec ta,tors were at the ringside, and all but the fortunate few of the ttb1oods, had walked from ten to fifty miles in a blazing sun to see the contest
 The authorities were bent upon pre- venting the, affair, and the ring was another, the promoters seeking to out wit the officers by lodging across county boundaries It was one of the hottest September days England has ever known, and yet the cavalcade of thousands of fans trudged weari1y# over dusty roads and lanes, mile after mile, from early morning until the middle of the afternoon, while the torrfd sun burned down upon them with con stantly increasing vigor
 Most of the travels of the foot-weary pilgrims were through deso1a.te counS try, where not a tavern Offered re- freshment in the way of food and drink Hot, exhausted. hungry, thirsty, they hoofed it from pillar to post, un- til at last they were rewarded with the sight of a, battle which ranks as a ring classic Bendigo and Caunt had fought their first battle ten years be- fore, and Bendigo wonson a. foul.
 In 1888 they met again, for the championship, and although Bendigo had the best of the argument. he lost the victory on technicality, and Caunt claimed the title. The Septem- ber battle in 1S45 was looked upon as decisive. For ninety rounds the tide of battle favored first one man and then the other, and the betting was still even. The terrible heat was wearing on the nerves of both fighters and spectators, and brawls among the latter enlivened the proceedings while the principals and their seconds used l language far from parliamentary in | addressing each other. Tn the ninety third round Caunt opened strong, but suddenly sat down. and the referee gave the victory to Bendigo, who thus for a. second time became champion | of England.
