Granny, the names are so hard,
can't l just say, They went on and
begat one another to the end of the
chapter?' Phil asked earnestly, his
brow puckered deeply, his fingers
moist.
He loved granny dearly-there were
parts of the Bible he loved likewise
to read to her. But the begats! There
his hating tongue always got him in
trouble.
Commonly Phil was as docile as
today he was FESTIVE. What hoy Of
twelve wouldn't have been FESTIVE
with all the school streaming past to
the big lot, where the home nine Of
big boys was to play off a match
with a nine from town?
So when granny shook her head,
saying almost sterniy. Read on" he
tried to be obedient, but broke down
in spite of his twelve years. Tears
blinded him, his choking throat re-
fused utterance. He dropped the Tes-
lament and dug fists into his blinking
eyes. Granny stared at him unseeing,
but her ears told her his distress.
She was about to speak when Lisa
and Nancy burst in, crying breathless-
ly, ooh, goody! Phil hasn't gone.
Mother says if he'll take us we can
go to the game
The Acton twins were just his age,
and lived near enough to be playfel-
lows.
"Phirs cryin'? What for?" Lisa ex-
claimed.
Granny cleared her throat. II sup
pose it is because he hates reading to
a poor old blind woman" she said re-
bukingly. 'Ill pray the good Lord not
to remember and visit it on him."
''I-I-you know-I-" Phil STAN.
mered with an appealing look at Lisa.
She laughed outright-he fed pre-
cipitately-not toward the lot, but his
haven of refuge, the hay NOW.
Nancy found him there, and coaxed
him to come forth. She had made it
right with granny-would stay her
self and read to her. Phil and Lisa
might be in time if they only hurried.
He could not look at her; his heart
was too full-nor see her, his eyes
were too dim. But in his mind she
shaped herself anew as the most COM
forting and beautiful creature ever
made.
Times whirligig took Phil far from
the home of his boyhood. At seven
and twenty he was as handsome and
promising a young lawyer as the
town of Exmouth could boast. His
uncle, the judge, had taken him there
after granny died, adopted him, sent
him through college, and taken him

10000 BRITISH
SLAIN IN BATTLE
English Suffered Heavy Losses
at NeuVe ChapeIIe.
FIGHT LASTED THREE DAYS
TWO Thousand TeUton Prisoners at
HaVre on Way to England
Ypres, Scissors and Reims
Bombarded by Germans.

London, March 15.-Ten thousand
British troops have been lost in the
furious fighting of three days at
Neuve Chapelle and in the vicinity of
La Bassee, where the English forces
drove the Germans back in a series of
attacks last week. This is the asser-
ton of the Berlin war office in the
official statement received by wire
less.
The Germans assert 1,72O British
soldiers were captured during the en-
gagement. Admission is made, how
ever, that the German losses also
were heavy. British attacks on the
German line both at Neuve Chapelle
and La Bassee are asserted to have
been repulsed Saturday.
Dispatches from Havre say 1000
German prisoners captured by the
British arrived there on their way to
England.
French Cities SheIIed.
The Germans once more have re-
sumed their furious bombardment of
French and Belgian cities all along
the front Ypres, scissors and Reims
were subjected to a destructive fire
from the Germans heaviest guns
Saturday and Sunday and a number
OF civilians have been killed. At Sois-
sons the cathedral was badly dam
aged.
The British and French warships
along the coast also have resumed
their attacks on the Germans in
trenched in the sand dunes of Bel
GUM. Positions in the viciaity of
Newport were bombarded by the war
ships Saturday
Describing the operations in the Ar
gonne, an official announcement says:
after several days of fierce COM
bat the French troops have captured
the plateau and half of the village of
Vauquoy At Lissiere, in the Eastern
ArgOnne, we have also kept the enc
my from continuing to use their i'm
DOrtant position against US"
The fury of the British lunge
against the German line seems to have
somewhat abated, and the scene of
the heaviest infantry fighting again
has been transferred to the center of
