Roleau caught some sense of what
was coming on, saw the men approach

tress, whose long delay he could not
understand. He hurried swiftly, on
tip-toe, along the halls he knew so
well, and naturally met no opposi-
ton. He reached the door of the room
where he had left Kitty, glanced with
in, and found the room empty. He
turned this way and that, not knowing
what to do, and fearing to turn back
toward the main stairway, passed
deeper to the rear.
All at once he heard the voice of
Kitty, loud and clear: "Roleau! Rol-
eau! A moi! Vite! Vite!'
He fastened on down the hall,
knowing that his mistress was once
more in some desperate plight, and so
found himself at length face to face
at the foot of the staircase with the
Count Frederick, who turned to meet

ANOTHER MAD DOG
SHOT THIS MORNING

Howard Wines bird dog went mad
last night and this morning was shot
by Constable McMurtrcy. This case is
said to have been one OF the most ad-
vanced cases of rabies that has so
far occurred among Elko dogs When
killed the animal was frothing at the
everything around him. He is said
TO have fought with a number of dogs
around town last night and this morn

II Is little short OF Il miracle that
several persons were not bitten. The
dog snapped repeatedly at Alex Hay
and ii bit w. l.. Paul on the hand 4
heavy glove is all that saved him from
a severe laceration. Miss Nellie
Wines was snapped Al but she man
aged TO get inside the door before she
was injured. An Indian woman was
attacked, hut the dog caught hold of
her clothing only. Little Raymond
Harris was near victim. This morn
ing the rabid dog attacked his dog
and he went out with a stick TO drive
him away. His mother called him
back and saved him from baing bit

number OF persons in the neigh
borhood say that the Wines dog fought
with a number of dogs last night and
there can be no doubt that a number
have been infected.
The Wines dog has been muzzlcd
continuously since the first order was
issued by the officers. II was the Gus
tom however. to muZzle the dog dur
ing the daytime and take il of at
night when he was either locked up or
confined in the yard. He was a great
favorite with little children in the
ncighborhood who always pcttcd him
and played with him on the way to
and from school.
The first sign of the dogs condition
was noriced last evening when he
went out as usual to meet Miss Nellie
Wines. He then jumped up on her
in an unusual way and whined pitt

horhood
We wish TO again urge upon he pub
lie the exceedingly great danger that
we are facing with rabid animals, and
the grave necessity OF keeping all dogs
muzzled. Once the rabies manifests
itself in either man or beast there is
not the slightest chance OF recovery.
One mad dog may infect any number
of others and the period of incuba-
tion may extend from TWO weeks to
three months. An animal or person in.

Association)
PARIS, Oct. 22.-In the middle OF
the Champagne battle field. my first
impression was that Judgment Day
had come: that | had been left be-
hind to roam the disrupted earth alone.
AS far as the eye could see along
the undulated stretch, IL was vast
pitted waste of chalk, with snags and
annihilated forests sticking up gaunt
and white, covered with dust, against
the skyline. and with arms, legs and
other fragments Of dead men lying
stinking ike common garbage on a Ii.
tanic dump.
This YVES the work OF the French ar
tillery. Here Germans had been. Here
many were still-rotting.
Hells fruies seemed to have been
Torestalled and outdone. For three
days l was permitted to wander ov.
er this ground recently won by the
French. ! had talk previously to
my trip with man at the war office,
regarding tie efficiency of the French
shelling, hut even thus prepared and
despite what | hitherto had observed
personally 1 was totally surprised by
what saw.
Over MANY square miles, practically
no vegetation was left. Even the rab.
bits and rats had not escaped.
Almost 100000 shells had been
fired into this area in three days, dig.
ging pits from five TO 10 feet deep,
the latter'1300 to $50 feet across. AS
Il result OF this concentrated fire, the
whole country was covered with a
white powder.
A general told me that the German
troops were so demoraliZed that droy'
es of prisoners the French took were
sent to the rear without any other
escort than Il single guide; that many
were almost insane for days.
Numerous French regiments have
been trying to clean up the battle
field ever since, but without seeming
to make headway, so vast is the un'
dertaking. Their excavations bring TO
light daily fresh war stories or hud-
dies Of purifying Germans, as if this
were some new Pompeii. What took
first to be the stump of n shelltorn
bush, turned out TO be n crisped, red
hand on a human arm, protruding
from a caved- in trench. What seem.
ed to be an old sack had a human
foot inside. A discolored blue sweat
or had mans trunk within it.

came graves for the living, while the
