oils and soft fats into hard fats.
Cottonseed oil costs about 4 cents

JAMIE lit the fame of love within No
sey's breast. She was diminutive and
fat-chested; her skin was sallow from
lifelong confinement in basement
sculleries and the atmosphere OF the
Bloomsbury boarding house. She had
little beady black eyes. and a print
dress that didn't fit her at all well. AL

kill her with the pressure OF a finger.

But somehow Nosey didn't forget.
The navy received him without emo

his teeth. They washed and clothed
and fed him generously. He was
taught, in vast echoing drill-shed, 10
recognize and respect authority, and
after six months preliminary training
informed that he was a secOnd-class
stoker, and as such drafted TO sea IN
the battle cruiser Squadron.

BERLIN, oct 2O-Pres't Wilson as
makes even the seasoned veterans Of
Russias campaign shudder is being
waged in Serbia. 1T is hardly warfare
lit is humiliation.
From German sources comes the
story of how stubbOrnly the Serbians
are defending their country against
the invaders. They are fighting like
fatalists.
Women are fighting side by side
with the men. Boys and girls are dy-
ing beside their parents. The Serbian
army q has been augmented by prac-
tically every private citizen, male and
female. capable of bearing arms.
Few prisoners are taken. 1t is a
fight to the death.
Incn by inch that is gained by leu
ton and BulSar is captured az a fright
iul cost-as deadly-tO' the invaders as
70 the defenders. All Of the energies
Of Gen. MackenZen are being put TO
the test. His Gancian campaign was
as child's play compared with this
desperate attempt TO cross Serbia
Twice the German commander has
asked for reinfoTcements. Three new
army corps. 10000 men, have al
scady arrived from Germany But
those are not really reinforcement
hey merely suffice to MI up the gaps
hat have been made by the Seribians
N their desperate defense.
The German losses have been enOr-
nous, but those OF the Serbians are
undoubtedly greater. The pitiablC
part Of it is that among their dead
eft on the battlefelds are many WON
n. girls and boys.
The fight for possession of the town
Of Nranla was one of the most bloody
n warfare-mOdern or ancient The
Bulgarians finally occupied it, but
With frightful cost. The Serbians de
ended the palace until practically the
asst man died-fghung. The defense
VAS completely wiped out. The vic
DRY cost the Bulgarians 10000 lives.
The town was little more than a
nine field and defenders and assail-
ants were often blown up together.

But Romance was there. duttering tat

II was otherwise with Nosey. His
love for jamie was a very real affair,
although what sowed the seeds was
not apparent; and the soil in which
they took root and thrived-the daily
interviews at the area door and these
fortnightly strolls-seemed. on the

autumn found them sitting side by side
