As he spoke, something came hurting
down TO earth.
Look out, boys! For Gods sake
look out" Captain Montague could
no more keep back his involuntary
warning than he could stay the death
that threatened them.
In another moment there was a ter
rife explosion. Trench q rocked with
the force Of 1t. The bombproof shelter
fell as il 1t were made of cardboard,
burylng them beneath It, The heaped-
up dirt at the top of the trench was
scattered like so much sawdust.
There was no longer any light in
that little inferno except what came
from the starllt heavens. Men--or
what had once been men-lay motion
less where the powerful explosive had
flung them. Others had vanished as If
into thin air-never to return. And
for few brief moments all was silent.
Then someone stirred In the sham
bles. 1t was Captain Montague. One
of the timbers from the roof Of the
shattered bombproof had fallen upon
his left leg; and, weak as he was from
his injuries, he could not release it.
Boys, take that beam off my legl'
he called family. II can't move! Take
1t off, l tell your He called several of
his men by name. But no one an
swered. He groaned then, as he
struggled to rise, and fell back faint
ing.
The telephone buzzer began to call
insistently. And there was one man
who heard It, Larry had been stunned
for a few seconds. How he might be
wounded he had not the slightest idea.
But that he was hurt he had not the
slightest doubt He could barely move,
as consciousness returned to him. But
until the call of the telephone reused
him further he had been content to
lie where he fell-and rest. That sig
nal, however, spurred him to logged
effort.
"The telephone! 1t isn't smashedw
he cried. "0h, God! Let me get to
that telephone! If they attack us now
we're done fory' He dragged himself
along the Uttered floor of the trench
for few feet then sank down with
groan. ooh, my God! My legp he
moaned. And then he drifted into a
delirium. His mind wandered back to
Ethel Willoughby. And once more he
found himself in Sir George Wagstaff's
house in London, pleading with her to
marry him. Soon he gained
control Of his befuddled brain again.
i've got to get to that telephoner' he
told himself desperately. "Come on,
Larry! You can do itv' he told him
self tiercely. Oh your Irish heart!
Come on! It's only five feet morep
So his undaunted spirit dashed his bro
ken body to its bidding
At last he gained the phone. At the
other end headquarters was still trying
frantically to learn the rest Of that
interrupted message that the German
spy had started to relate.
"No, no! I'm not Leel I'm Red
mondP' he gasped. Captain Redmond

Major Drayton, you remember

discovered to whom he was speaking.

New York.-As far back as one can
look into the annals of American
fashions, the possession of a sealskln
coat was accounted supreme happi-
ness. The woman who had such a
garment, linked with a pair of dia-
mond earrings, either strutted in her
vanity or tried to look unconscious of
the envy Of her neighbOrs.
Other times, other wishes. Three
decades have passed since the seal
skin coat was desirable possession,
and the diamond earrings swinging
from a long loop that went through q
pierced hole In the ear speedily sank
into that blackness Of barbarism from
which it had sprung.
The fur coat and the diamond car
ring are with US again, and again hui
man nature responds to the same old
call. They are not in the shape in
which they prevailed for so many dec
ades among our best families. Look

DEVOTE THOUGHT TO CLOTHES
How Some Women Have Solved the
Problem of Dressing Well on Lit
tie Money.

One of the most sensible women I
know always has q simple frOek Of
dark blue serge, which she wears with
a white organdie collar under long
coat every day, unless she is making
calls or doing something that requires
her to "dress up," remarks contrib
utor to the New York Evening World.
This frock she buys at Il mid-seasOn
sale for $40, and with care it lasts her
three winters. She buys long coat
every three years at from $15 to $40.
These things save her best suit so
that it looks perfectly fresh for two
years, and can even be worn for third
year as. second best. She has so ar
ranged her purchases that each fall
she buys but one expensive garment
for the winter wardrObe-a suit, coat,
or If she needs neither of these, a
new frock or even q good blouse. All

she keeps in good repair and makes
such little alterations as keep them up
to date.
The needs of nearly every woman
differ greatly; what would be a SEN
sible economy for one would be a wild
extravaganza for another. Everything
depends on the income and the mode
of life. Yet there are few general
rules that apply to all. The first of
these is always to get as good mate
rial as possible. BY this l do not nee
essarily mean the most expensive, but

pose for which the purchaser wants

made shoes that will last all winter
and sometimes take one into the next
season, than two cheap pairs that fall
to pieces in two months. The same
is true of very cheap gloves, stockings
or underwear. If you have not the
money to buy something serviceable,
it is best to wear the old things little
longer until the % or 80 cents on the
gloves and perhaps the dollar extra
on the shoes can be saved.
