Life.
Americus times-recorder., 1915-01-21

Mrs. MacMiche, with her sordid soul
and iron heart to whom the fairies are
fiends, lives in pathetic terror of their
power. Charles meets and loves Jul
let, into whose eyes God forgot to put
the light, and the fairies, who only
come when the heart is so full it can
not speak, manifes themselves to the
happy young lovers in a myriad ways.
Upon the death of Lord Colinton,
Charles becomes heir to the title and
his fortune and takes a pitiful and ten
der farewell of Juliet, promising TO
return when he is old enough to make
her his Lady Colinton.
With the lapse of years and the pos
session of power, Charles forgets the
fairies, and Juliet, and becomes-a
snob! Juliet's heart calls to him
through the distance'and the darkness
but her prayer is in vain. Meantime,
Love and Sympathy have entered the
heart of Mrs. MacMiche and in Charles
absence she realizes that she loves
him. Faith conquers fear, and her
hate of the fairies is dispelled.
Through her Longing for Charles, she
becomes seriously i'll and dispatches a
servant to ask him to come to her.
Lord Colinton spurns the plea, and la =
ter becomes, engaged to the famous
Lady Rosalind-"a very distinguished
match!" His conscience, symbolized
in the form of the Little Charles of
Long Ago, accuses Lord Colinton Of
his perfidy, and in contempt leaves his
body. Mrs. MacMiche's illness be-
cofes aggravated, and the doctor in
forms Lord Colinton that unless she
sees him she will die of broken heart
and this time he deigns to visit her.
His old aunt and Juliet are staggered
by the sad transformation in him. AS
he is about to leave the house his con-
science confronts him and battles with
his worse for supremacy. His soul
triumphs and the spirit of the Old
Charles returns. He denounces and
renounces the snobs who accompanied
him on his visit and tells them with
dramativ simplicity that he has seen
the light and has learned wisdom!
There lis a tender reunion between
himself and Juliet-and they live hap
py forever and ever.

PIONEER LEADS
ADVENTUROUS
LIFE At FROM I
MEN WHO DIG TRENCHES FOR
THEIR FELLOW SOLDIERS MUST
POSSESS RECKLESS HEROISM

KARLSRUHE, Germany, Jan. I'll
At night when the searchlights fit
from trench to trench of the enemy,
and when gunners send shells into
hostile works which during the day
have been singled out for this atten-
ton, the human mole-the pioneer
goes to work. The present war at
close quarters has made it impossible
for him to labor in daylight. Not alone
is every part of the field scrutinized
with powerful glasses by the obsery-
ance officers, but men in aeroplanes
are constantly on the lookout for red
or brown scars in the landscape that
might show pioneers busy at work dig
ging trenches.
Contrary to popular belief, trenches
are but seldom dug by infantrymen
nowadays. The little spades they car
ry serve for the sole purpose of throw
ing up cover when during an attack
the firing line, owing to superiority of
fire from the enemv's position, must
intrench itself superfcially, until re-
Inducements can be brought up. The
trenches of the permanent positions
are dug by pioneers, as are also the
approach of trenches, bomb-proofs and
tunnels, which make up a modern
"position-fight" line.
What it means to be a pioneer is
well told in a letter which has Just
been published in the German press.
The writer explains that the division
staff had thought it advisable to ad-
vance closer to the French trenches.
Before this could be done trench
had to be dug; otherwise the infantry
sent there would have been moved
down by the fire from the other side.
The locality of the proposed trench
lay between the French and German
trendhes.
so we left the half-ruined little vii
lage on the banks of the canal, reach
ed the highway, and labored through
the deep mud and around the holes
blown in the ground by the shells, .
continues the pioneer. About us
hummed bullets which seemed to have
lost their way, and the spades beat
gently again the rifles.

we crossed a pontoon bridge upon

the sphere of the English bullets, and
had to get into the ditch along the
road to escape them. After that we
crossed more muddy fields and crept
through barbed wire fences, and final

There we deployed and went to

DISTRIBUTION OF
STATE AID

Thirteen counties will draw the full
amount allowed by law out Of the State
road fund this year, Sl3. 164, according
to estimate just completed by Commits
sioner of Roads r. C. Terrell. 1t is
based upon the 1914 assessments and
levy, excepting in a few instances where
failure of the counties to report made
it necessary to use the 1912 returns.
The counties which will drew the full
2 per cent, are; Bourbon, Campbell,
Christian. CLARK. Daviess. Fayette,
Graves, jefferson. kenton. Mason. Nc
Cracker, Nelson and Shelby.
The amount It is estimated each
county will receive from the State
road fund is based ON the ratio the
road levy of that particular county
bears to the total levy tor road pur-
poses of all the counties. S3,07l, ST..
The estimated road fund is S65S, 220.
After apportioning the money on this
basis. a balance of over 100000 was
redistributed within the limits of the 2
per cent, which in the maximum any
county is allowed to draw, and also not
exceeding the total amour. appropriate
ed for State aid work, including private
subscriptions. In no case was a county
allotted more than it asked for State
aid. MS some portions of the county
ievies naturally wiz be used for other
work than that undertaken according
TO the law governing State aid projects.
The distribution to counties issuing
bonds will be based upon their road
levies and special tax for sinking fund
purposes but the latter does not figure
in this estimate. as the commissioner
had before him only the 1914 levies to
guide him.
Garrard will draw $s.346 from this
fund.
