 Nothing of the orderly routine which months of training in England had led Sammy to expect accompanied the busi- ness of trench warfare. In a few minutes he found himself between two utter strangers, firing his fife through an aper- ture in frotnt of him, without any special knowledge as to what he was aiming at or why he was doing it. He merely emptied clip after clip as he saw his companions doing and it was not until he | received sharp nudge from the butt of his right-hand comrades rifle and a nut tered Stow it!' that he began to realize the firing had died away.
 Then the knowledge began to slowly filter through his brain that he was 1 standing up to his ankles in a particu- l larly sticky mud; that his shoulder was very sore from the kick of his rifle;
 that half-a-dozen men were lying around him, very still, but in most grotesque attitudes; and that he was very. very
 tired and wanted nothing so much as to
 go away somewhere--far away--and think
 things over.

She picked it up, opened the bundle at one end, dropped in the stone and fastened the packages string once more. At the same mo- ment. from the shack just behind her. she heard mans voice saying impa- tiently
 I'm no blooming diplomat count. Come down to cases. What will you pay?"
 June dropped the bundle she held. She stood transfiXed, there, on the rocky beach, in front of the shack. Understanding came to her with a rush. So the story was true Todd Drew had really come to Surfton to ne- gotiata with this foreign agent for the sale of the murderous war engine plans The two men had apparently chosen this out of -the-wa spot for their conference, so as to be safe from discovery or suspicion.
 June held her breath. Shamelessly she listened. Another voice was speak ing now In excellent English but with trace of foreign accent.
 My dear Mir. Drew" she heard Count Freel say, q have no wish to delay, any more than you wish me to delay.

 That you may fix the details in your mind hey?" interrupted Drew's voice. And be able to reproduce them, and then refuse to buy? No, thanks

 make an engine that could wipe whole
 armies off the map. Your nation is
 fighting with its back to the wall. It wants those plans. How much June-the Red Circle blazing and
 pulsing on her white hand-had crept nearer and nearer to the shack. She peeped in, cautiously, through one of the wide cracks in the boards. A crate had been turned upside down to serve as a table, and it stood close to the aperture in the boards. At the opposite ends of this einlprovised table on a couple of boat trestles, sat two
 men. One nearest to June-was f1ashiiS dressed and pasty of face. Dissipation had cut unhealthy lines about the cor ners of his youthful eyes and mouth The other and older man was of dis 1 tinctly foreign aspect, not only in his | sweeping mustache and goatee, but in the 1 cut of hls clothes as well.

Swing ing to the right just outside of Ypres the company passed directly in front of a thick hedge, masking a battery of 9.5 guns The battery was indulging in it's nightly occupation of shelling the Ger man trenches. and as the explosions struck Sammy's ears and the shells whined overhead he nstinctively ducked and waited for the shock of wound.

Little Mary Pickford whose pretty, curly locks have been so much admired. writes that she has never used the curl inf iron She fails to see the wisdom of burning the life out of the hair.
 That the heated iron is ruinous to the hair is being more and more appreciated. Many are discarding this instrument of torture in favor of plain liquid silmerine. This is not only harmless but is really beneficial to the hair Instead of giving ones tresses a burnt-out. lifeless ap- pearance. it gives them a bright lustre. and the curliness looks altogether nat few ounces of liquid silmerine from the druggist and apply a little at night with a clean tooth brush.

From the Youths Companion.
 The managers of a certain evening newspaper that publishes a great many pictures found it necessary to cut ex- penses. They dismissed a special writer and two reporters. and most of the other positions. There was one man, however. who was not uneasy. He worked in what was called the art department.
 One of his friends said to him. 'FWhy aren't you afraid of losing your job?"
 "Oh, they can't fire me-" he replied.
 Why not?' They are cutting all along the line. Why do you feel safe?''

FIND BY-PR0DUCT OF VALUE
Chemists Are Now Extracting Wax
From the Refuse From Process
of Sugar Refining.

More and more of the residues of in
dustrial processes that used to be
thrown away are being found to con-
tain some useful substance. In some
cases the value of what was originally
considered "by-product" has come to
exceed that of the primary product it.
self. The residues of sugar refining
have been discovered to contain a valu-
able waxy substance in sufficient guam
titles to warrant its extraction on a
commercial scale.
When section of sugar cane is ex-
amined under the microscope it is seen
that from the epidermis exude little
protuberances, straight or curved
and disposed perpendicularly to the
surface. These are made of wax, which,
with other waxy substances contained
in other parts of the plant, passes into
the juice in the process of it's extrac-
ton.
The lime used in almost all refineries
carries them away in the refuse of the
idea of rescuing them was not long
ago preached.
For this purpose the Shiny residue
is placed in receptacle, where it un-
dergoes ferE: entation which destroys
the fatty matters without attacking
the wax. The substance is then dried
in the sun and afterward in current
of warm air or in furnace. The dry
product is crushed and treated with
benzine or carbon disulphid. The wax
thus obtained is then refined by being
extracted anew with petroleum es-
sence, and then by filtration through
clay or animal black. The residue of
this extraction may be utilized as a
lubricant or treated to obtain the sugar
which it still contains.
Cane wax thus obtained is white or
pale yellow 1t much resembles in ap-
pearance Carnauba wax, as also in it's
hardness and high melting point. The
dried Shiny residue contains ten to
twelve per cent Of it--a sufficiently
large proportion to justify the indus
trial treatment of these residues.
