floor, she saw the country for miles on
every side. And almost Immediately the
battle began.
Terrified, yet spell-bound with admira-
tion, forgetting hunger, thirst, every
thing-every moment facing death,
Emilienne lay there three days and three
nights. All around the house shells burst
with continuous roar of thunder. The
walls trembed and part of the roof came
down; neighboring buildings were turned
into shapeless ruins, yet the walls of the
old house stood
At last the sharp report of rifles began
to pierce the roar of the gun. and she
knew that the English were entering
driving the Germans before them.
Emilienne rushed out OF the house.
The street outside was full of dead bodies
and cutters we're running red. Bombs
and hand grenades we're still spinning
their messages of death for remnants of
the German main line were firing behind
various Notifications and points in the
trenches. Wounded men begged her for
water. She recognized their uniforms as
those of the Highlanders, so much feared
by the Germans Only a slip of thing,
delicate and slender, desire to help gave
her strength. One by one she dragged
the wounded soldiers into the house.
With the aid of the British Red Cross
men she bandaged their wounds and
made them as comfortable as possible.
When the ambulance corps arrived it
was found that at least a score of wound
ed owed their lives to her.
There was a lull finally, and then
Emilienne found that the enemy was fir
ing on her first-aid station. She dashed
into the street. Immediately two soldiers
charged her, bayonets fixed She snatched
a revolver from the hand of dead Eng
lishman, and when the shining blades
were almost at her throat, she shot down
the soldiers. Still bullets rained around
her. short distance down the street
was cellar in which the remnant of the
German line had secreted itself and from
which the firing continued. Emilienne
didn't stop to ask help or advice. From
a British grenadier's stock she picked up
a hand bomb and hurled it at the cellar.
1t destroyed three Germans and saved
her hospital
But over at the other end of the town
something was happening. 1t took the
girl only a moment to understand that
the German lines had rallied, and were

Like the historic Maid of Orleans.
Emilienne developed not only the war
like but also the diplomatic genius She
managed to secure forgiveness for her
father when his furious denunciations Of
the enemy put them all in danger of
drastic punishment. They were always
short of food; sometimes starvation
threatened them day by day. Yet she al.
ways managed to find them something.
And when her father, weakened by
scanty nOurishmert and brokenhearted
over the invasion OF the country which he
had so valiantly defended forty-fOur years
before, became i'll. it was Emilienne who
watched at his side day and night; who
kept out of his sight the hated enemies
and who finally buried him when the end
came.
She buried her father with her own
hands, in a coffin cut from rough boards
by her brother and herself. There were
neither undertakers nor carpenters in
LoOs. Neither were there boards with
which to make the coffin, excepting in the
trenches where the Germans waited
Some of those boards were donated by
the Teutons, and the invincible little
FrenChwoman accepted them while max
Ing it clear that the gift in no way
lessened her enmity.
And during this darkest of hours
Emilienne realized just a bit of her am
bition to teach. The Germans entrusted
to her much of the administration Of
what remained of the village; children
whose parents had been killed or taken
away as prisoners were put in her care
and she was permitted to give them what
little schooling was possible under the
conditions.
A year plodded slowly along. Then
came September, and Emilienne noticed
that the Germans were becoming restless.
Rumors began to whisper round Loos.
The English were advancing, said the
rumors, with the dreaded Scotch High
landers in the lead. Very, very soon the
whole town would be under fire!
Emilienne hardly dared believe the good
news. For the first time in a year she
neglected her school. Hiding her terror
stricken mother and the little brother and
sister in the basement, she huddled the
children there, too, and directed them to
remain so until she returned. Then she
climbed to the attic where. lying on the

sister on a sunny hillside in Loos. She
spent her time happily between her house
hold duties and her dreams of the time
to come when there would be no more
household duties only her work of
teaching in the little school where she
learned her first lessons For to be a
teacher was Emiliennes ambition After
the monotonous quiet of her existence,
life in the schoolroom seemed filled with
all sorts of romantic possibilities. Then,
too, she'd always be with the children
whom she loved.
So Emilienne propped her books round
the kitchen as she worked and her recrea-
tion was playing school, with the
brother of nine and the sister of eleven.
Then, shortly before she would have
taken the examinations to admit her to
the school, the Uhlans came riding down
through France. In their wake followed
strong columns of infantry, surrounding
the town. Meeting with no resistance,
they entered the streets and settled down
there as If quite at home. Rifles began
to bark in the streets and the town
shivered under the fire of the allies.

good-by to their homes. After a time
Loos came to be almost a deserted place
with empty, staring houses and weed
grown gardens, excepting for the uni
formed soldiers who tramp-tramped
everywhere.
But the Moreau family remained. M.
Moreau was a hot-blooded old veteran
of 1870, who so bitterly hated the Ger
mans that he refused to concede to them
anything, even the advisability of moving
to another place for his own safety. Be-
sides, his daughter seemed to be man
aging the situation very we'll, indeed. AL
though the soldiers indicated unmistak-
ably their admiration for her unusual
beauty, they seemed willing to admire
from a respectful distance. By her i'm
perturbable firmness, her strength of
mind, her ingenious appeals to their
sense of honor, she won the respect of
the German officers, and the few bad
elements who were among them were
severely warned to leave her alone. Her
best friend was the officer in command

daughters of about her age.

MODERN ARMY RIFLES.

Evolution oF the old Smooth Bore Muz- zls Leading Muskst.
 The gun is the little brother of the cannon. Artillery was made first, but 1t was easy to see that something a man could carry was needed. and m the fourteenth century the Flemings were the proud pOssessors Of hand cannon, small copies of the bigger weapon fitted to stock. They were interesting more than effective, how ever, and did little damage beyond soaring badly every one who faced them for the first time.
 Improvements came in the course of time, and the arQuebus, also called the caliver and which was modelled some what after the crossbow, came on the market. The work the Spanish did with the new weapon was not a joke. And under the Duke of Ava, little later, they also introduced the musket, au improvement on the arQuebus, but sttll a clumsy affair, fired by match and so heavy that it could only be aimed from a rest. It had tremen- dous bore, however. and could stop a horse at 800 yards, so 1t soon became the universal military arm.
 Early in the eighteenth century the dintlock displaced the matchlock. The CharleYille musket, introduced by Lafayette and the first regulation gun In the hands of American soldiers, was of this type.
 4 Scotch clergyman, Alexander For sythe, was responsible for the next big advance, the percussion cap, which he invented In 1897. The Prussian needle gun was the first successful military breechloader, although the principle was not new-the Spanish had them aboard the ships of the armada.
 Rifing also is very old. Gaspard Roller of Vienna and August Kotter of Nuremberg were rivals for the honor of the invention about 1920. As has been pointed out, however, these im- movements had to be laid aside until a day of better workmanship.
 Most of the fighting up to 1850 was done with SmOothbores, even Napo- leon dlScardIng the rife. Breechloaders were used near the close of our own war, and very soon the muzzle loader became a curiosity.
 Winchester, an American, invented one of the first successful repeating rifles and the Turks used them against the Russians in 1877. Then all the great military powers began rearming their troops with small callber repeat CTS, using high power smokeless pow der. One of the best is our own Spring field rife.
 No ore need wonder what the weap- on of the near future will be. All war departments of the world are eagerly searching for the perfected automatic rife. which will be a terrible weapon indeed-a miniature machine gun.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

 First and last enough sentiment has been expended upon American politics to equip regiment of poets laureate. Distinctly Amcrlcan holidays are full of it. Fourth of July. uf course, made itself. The 22d of February became one by common CUuscut. It had its origin in a conyivial supper In a New York tavern in l7S3. when a company met to listen to an original ode and drink innumerable toasts. Enthusiasm survived the wine, and as the gentle men went gayly and unSteadily home they swore to meet again on future an- niversaries. Regarded at first as a purely party custom, it broadened be- yond Federal circles to take in all Americans Jefferson's followers at tempted a similar observance in his honor, but he cOuutered with another bit of sentiment. refusing to diYulge the date, on the ground that only the birthday of the nation should be so treated.
 Thanksgiving was sectional and re- lIgious as well as political, and senti- ment graced it in plenty. One of the customs that fingered in good old New England households until the middle of the last century was to lay five grains of corn upon the plate of every person at table In memory of day in early colonial history when five ships came sailing into harDOr just in time to chase away the specter of famine.
 It was Washington who appointed the first national day of thanksgiving at the instance Of congress. after the adoption of the constitution. Fer many years. however, annual observance of the day remained matter of state ac- ton. virtually confined to New Eng land. Like the 22d of February, it be- came a national custom only gradual Iy: unlike the 22d of February, 1t spread largely through the influence of woman.
