were SO mixed that it was hard 10
rescue those who yet had a chance to
recover But the movement had been
a complete success from the British
viewpoint. and the position marks the
first real ground gained against the
enemy
From these trenches it will be pos
sible to check any further attempt to
push southwest, and it gives the Brit
ish strategic position on the hills that
command the roads from Peronne to
Gonzeacourt and on to Canbrai, where
the British suffered so severely three
weeks ago, and from Peronne to st.
Quentin north toward Bellcourt, and
north by east toward Guise.
1t is believed that as a result of this
latest success the British will now be
able to push the Germans entirely from
the neighborhood of st Quentin and
reoccupy that village. It is considered
certain that the main German forces
have already left it, as the unofficial
reports place the British advance guard
in that citys suburbs.

complaint made by bankers and
business men. However, they feel
that the state ought to be given recog.

Continually his gaze questioned the northern skies

countrywide conhagration that threatened all
northern Maine, bonedry with drought.
Only the south offered a fair prospect. And the
fires were making southwark far faster than man
might hope to travel through that grim and stub

Even as he stared, Alan saw fresh columns Of
dun-colored smoke spring up In the northwest.
Anxiously he consulted the impassive mask Of

II was not likely that the Indian had overlooked

So Alan waited for him to speak-and meantime
determined to watch Jacob more narrowly, though
no other suspicious circumstance had marked the
several days OF their association.
The first half Of the night was as the day. de-

No more question as to the need for such urgent

ceasing: thin wells of smoke drifted through the
forest, hugging the ground. like weird acrid
mist: and ever the curtained heavens glared, livd

BY midnight Alan had come to the bounds of en-
durance; flesh, bone and sinew could no longer
stand that strain. Though Jacob declared that
Spirit Lake was now only six hours distant, far
