The sand was wet and reflected the light Of the moon. Beyond were the lights, slowly growing more distinct as he advanced. Usually there was at night desuItOry firing, not so far from the shore but that It could be heard. Tonight there was absolute silence of war. There was the moaning of the waves on the bar, with their nearer rus tie 1n the beach. This was all.
 But that dark spot It would not go away. The captain tried hard to con- vince himself that there was no such thing there He could not. He saw it. Of shat he was sure. But it was so faint that he could not always see It. At any rate, hc looked at 1t, concPu- tratiug bis gaze upon it, till 1t seemed to fade away But when he had rested his eyes and looked again there 1t was.
 And now the lights of the camp are so near that another ten or fifteen min utcs will surely bring him there. The dunes where he looked for danger had fattCucd, anl what rise there was had reccdcd. The sky line was visible, and he could have seen even Crouching figure. But he saw none. A breeze stirred some low weed or bush and sent his heart to beating. but in an other moment he saw that it was not q man.
 A short distance from the camp he came to a place where reeds grew out of mar$hy spot just above the foam line. He mUSt go to the left of them.

A Death :. Shadow
By F. A. MITCHEL

An officer of the Belgian army was summoned before the king. They were in Flanders, and the BelgiuuS cousti. tuted the tip of the left wing of the allied army.
 Captain" said the king, "l wish you to carry a message to tue commander of the nearest British troops south of us. Go on foot and on the beach. The distance Is short, but is full of danger. You will be as safe on the edge of the water as anywhere. We are not in touch with our allies, but there is no fear of any force pushing into the gap for our rear i5 defended by the chan nel. Your danger will come simply from any reconnOitering or other small force that you may happen to meet"
 The captain took the message, rolled In a ball the size of small pill, put 1t in the lining of his hat, Saluted and de parted. The hour was dusk. In the eastern sky was a moon in the first quarter. The beach was broad. and the officer walked midway between the line of foam and the dunes.
 Was that his shadow down at his left and trife in advance of himf No. 4 shadow must lie in line with the light interrupted. This one formed an obtuse angle with his body and the moon.
 Was 1t a shadow? It was so faint that be could not tell.
 There was a moaning sound to the waves that were washing over a bar not far from the shore. The wind was chilly, and the captain felt a cOrre- spending chill In his heart He dld not like that dark spot or shadow or whatever 1t was. He looked down on the harti sand to bis left It was there, barely distinguiShable, but surely there. He looked up at the moon. The dark spot surely could not be made by the moon. for 1t would lie behind him, whereas this was slightly In front of him He looked at the planet Ven and saw that 1t was covered at the time by haze. He cast his eyes again down at his feet, hoping that the dark spot had disappeared. It was still there.
 To the south were the lights of a camp; how far he could not tell. That camp was his goal He wished him. self safely there. At night one cannot readily measure distances, and he could not tell whether the lights were far or near. He longed to reach them to es- cape that iRtelerable Loneliness which weighed upon him. -
 He knew that at any moment he might receive shot in the back or from the front. If It came It would come from the dunes on his left, not from the water. He cast occasional glances in the former direction, turn Ing his head to the rear to see If he was followed. He thought he saw dark something like the figure of man against the sky line behind him. If 1t was q man he was soon in hiding, for 1t passed into the dark dune.
 He edged down to the verge or the water and walked almost in the foam.

 For sixteen years the Athletics have had at least one player who was an active contributor to the newspapers. Back in the early days of the Ameri- can league Mike Powers, grand old scout that he was, covered the training trips for several of the Philadelphia papers.

Builds Sidewalk

The First State Bank of Wood is
this week building an eight foot walk
on the east and on the horth side Of
the bank building. We are very glad
to SEE the business men of Wood
building walks. a movement was
started one day last week to raise
some money for the building of street
crossings, and this is an enterprise
that should meet with success. IF
crossings cannot be provided every
place where wanted now, at least two
or three such crossings should be
built at once, and then the streets
should be graded and every effort
made to try and eliminate the condi-
tions that existed here last week dur-
J ing the heavy rains.
