Krauss, with CHASTITY humOr.
Denis left him. Krauss paced his

Kitty and he, in that land where all

Krauss and Denis nodded.

ing for IL to fall before giving the
command to fire. The sound came
near and nearer. Suddenly the air
was filed with flame. A terrific din
was in their ears. Krauss was raised
high in the air and flung down bodily
into the grass.
Slowly the sulphurous fumes died
away. Krauss opened his eyes. Where
the guardhouse had been there was
not a fragment of structure. And
where had been the rolling meadow
was only deep, barren pit, stiu full
of dust and smoke.
Out of the smoke a hands breadth
away, emerged the face Of Denis. His
eyes were open and he was looking
at Krauss. The two men continued
to regard each other in silence for
perhaps minute. Then Denis slow
" raised himself.
His uniform was hanging from him
in tatters. One arm hung Imply at
his side. But otherwise he did not
seem to be injured. Krauss raised
himself to a sitting position. Blood
was dripping from his shoulder
where q fragment of the shell had
struck him.
All about them there was absolute
silence, except for the sudden out
pouring of a Iark's song, high over
head. They watched each other with
a grim question in their eyes.
There remained nothing at all Of
the firing squad, except perhaps
some 'mutilated bodies, buried under
so tons Of earth. The force of the ex-
plosion happened to have hurled the
two men in one direction, while it
buried the rest. That was all. 1t
was the unappealable, memorable law
of war.
Presently Denis extracted his
first-aid bandage and, crawling to-
ward Krauss, began to bandage his
arm. Krauss submitted in silence,

Woman Hides Face
From Men IS Years

West Mentor, Ohio, Dec. ga
True to her vow, made at the age
of 20, that she never would let a
man look upon her face, Miss Har-
riet Martindale has just passed the
45th year of her seclusion.
Miss Martindale, when 20. was
engaged to be married to a young
man with whom she was very much
in love. One night while walking
along a country road near her home
she saw her sister with her fiance.
Three weeks later the man she ewas
to have married became the hus-
band of her sister.
Heartbroken, she solemnly vowed
no man should see her face again,
and through the use of a heavy
veil and a life of seclusion she has
kept her word.
Both the sister and her husband
now are dead.

Stafford. that we had better let him

Mr.. Stafford IL Republican, and
thinks Secretary Wilson will leave Of

Minority Leader Mann said there
was mo great degree OF brilliancy In
the purchase OF an old machine whicll
cost 81. 357 in one year for repairs
when he could have gotten a new ma
chine for less than that amount.
The legislative appropriation bill car
lies a $4,000 contingent fuEd for the
