After desperate fighting, which had lasted two days, our troops entered Wola Szydlowiecka. The fighting here is still going on with desperate stubborness, particularly around neighboring distillery, which was still in the possession of the enemy the night of February 3.
 "In the Carpathians the fighting continues along the front, which is between the Dulla Pass and Mount Nyszkow. We advanced at a point near Svidnik, in the valley of the river Labortch, moving in the direc- tion of Quick. We took 2,O00 pris- oners and ten machine guns.

picked up the gun, and, as he did so.
he shook his head.
NO." he stolidly declared; every

Yet, when they we're again out
sketching, the temptation to play with
brushes once more seized him, and he
took his place before the easel
Neither he nor Lescott noticed a man
who crept down through the timber,
and for a time watched them. The
mans face wore surly, contemptuous
grin, and shortly it withdrew.
But, an hour later, while the boy
was still working industriously and
the artist was lying on his back, with
a pipe between his teeth, and his half
closed eyes gazing up contentedly
through the green of overhead
branches, their peace was broken by
a guffaw of derisive laughter. They
looked up, to find at their backs semi
circle of scoffing humanity. Lescott's
impulse was to laugh, for only the
comedy of the situation at the mo-
ment struck him. A stage director,
setting comedy scene with that most
ancient. of jests, the gawking Of boobs
at some new sight, could hardly have
improved on this tableau. At the front
stood Tamarack Spicer, the returned
wanderer. His lean wrist was stretched
out of ragged sleeve all too short, and
his tattered jimmy" was showed back
over face all a-grin His eyes were
blood-shot with recent drinking, but
his manner was in exaggerated aud

After the first surprise, Samson had
turned bis back on the group. He was
mixing paint at the time and he pro-

the moment. He finished that, and.
reaching for the palette-mife, scraped
his fingers and wiped them on his
trousers legs. Then, he deliberately
rose.
Without word he turned. Tama-

The boy tossed back the long lock
from his forehead, and then, with
an Unexpectedly swift movement,
crouched and Ieaped His right fist

is NOT GUILTY
WAS TFIE:VERDICT
JURY OUT ONLY ABOUT ONE
HOUR ON CASE

Anderson, Nov. 19.-After delib-
Grating about one hour the jury
hearing the Feaster I. Jones murder
case returned a verdict of not gull
ty at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon.
Judge Moore warned the audience
in advance against any demonstra-
tion and the verdict was received 81
lently by a packed court room.
Counsel and friends of Jones seat
ed near by extended congratulations
and he then hurried to an Anderson
bank where his aunt, the widow of
DR.. L. o. McCalla, for whose murder
Jones was tried, was awaiting him.
He and his aunt left the city in Mrs.
Calais automobile for the Nc
Gala home at Starr.
The unwritten law was the plea,
Jones declaring that he killed DR..
McCalla because the latter invaded
the sanctity of his home.
Jones is nephew of Mrs. McCalla
and is her foster son.
The case was attended with a
great deal of interest throughout
the county because of the promi-
nence and wealth of Jones and Nc
Gala.
