Gerry Lansing was sitting alone In

down. Great quivering signs that
were almost sobs were shaking his
strong body. In one terrific swirl

the moment when he had plunged
from the sandsplt and the moment
when he and the girl had stood on the
river bank and laughed together to see
the canoe, worked adrift by the eddy,
swirl out into the river and away,
cons had passed. In that laughing
moment he had stood primeval man In
a primeyal world. With the drops Of
water from the river he had fiicked
off the bonds IL had taken centuries
to forge. And now his truant con
science returned to stand dismayed.
The girl, dressed in a homespun
cotton robe belted at the waist, came
back down a half-hidden path, shyly
at first and then with awe to see
him weeping. She tossed him cot
ton jumper and trousers and then drew
back and waited for him In the path.
He rose slowly to his feet, dressed and
followed the girl.
She led him along the path through
the brush and out into little valley

mas. No further trace OF Gerry had
been found. His body had not been re.
covered. The people said 1t was not
unusual. He had undoubtedly been at.
tackled by tiger fish. In that case bis
bones would have been stripped OF
flesh. 1t was impossible to drag the
great river.
The judge hid in his heart the har.
rowing details. To Mrs. Lansing he
told the central fact. She was struck
dumb with grief and then she thought
Of Alix. Almost hastily they decided
that 1t was not time to tell Alix and
during long months they put her off
with false news of the search. They
carried 1t farther and farther into the
wilds Of the subconunent. The coun-
try was so vast, there was no telling
when the messenger would finally
come up with Gerry.
Aiix bore the strain with wonder
full patience. The truth was that her
thoughts were not on Gerry. Some
thing greater than Gerry was claiming
all her faith--all her strength Of body
and soul. She did not talk. She was
holding that final communion with her
innermost self with which a woman
dedicates her body to pain and sacri-
fee. Alix was not afraid. In those

days come back. As she lay, pale and

TRENCH MENACE
VITAL JUNCTION

Paris. July 3.-The third day OF
The battle of the Somme shows that
the Franco British lines have been
further advanced with the French
wing sweeping to the eastward south
Of the Somme. A group Of strategic
villages, a large number of German
prisoners and heavy guns have been
taken.
The advanced French lines now are
only three miles from the important
railway junction of Peronne, the de-
fense of which has been greatly
weakened by the capture by the
French on Sunday Of Mereaucourt
woods, south of the Somme and be-
tween Feuilleres and Frisc. This was
the strongest fortified position of the
German second line of defense on the
entire front Of the attack, but the
French division which took Frise con
tnued to advance with such impetus
that the Germans were unable to re-
sist, even under the protection Of
this formidable work.
one of the tiercest struggles was
for the stone quarry. also strongly
fortified, three-quarters of a mile east
of Curlu. Here the Germans tried
TO stem the tide BY a desperate coun-
ter-attack but the French American
colonials, one of the most celebrated
corps Of the French admiralty. rushed
the position with such energy that
the Germans broke before the bayc-
nets.
The French success at Friese was
also brilliant, as it Strengthened their
line south of the elbow of the Somme

ALLIES SEEN TO HAVE
ADVANTAGE IN MUNITIONS

London, July 3.-The desperateness
of the struggle along the front of the
entente offensive in northern France
is shown in the progress made through
what the official bulletins describe as
line" This description does not re-
fer to q single line but to the import
ant first position defenses, from a
half mile to a mile deep, comprising
an intricate system Of trenches called
a labyrinth, connected with advanced
posts heavily armored with concrete,
lin which machine guns are installed;
while in the trenches themselves are
armored turretS protecting other ma
chine guns.
The second and third lines Of the
general defensive works of the GER
mans on the western front are equal
Nv important and similarly intricate.
An three lines must be- pierced by the
allies before their desire to force the
Grmlns to a battle in the open can be
realized. In the battles Of Arras ana
.the Champagne the French attacked
the second line without sufficient ar
tillery preparation The error was
.not repeated in the present case.
The accumulation of munitions ne
hind the allies front Is prodlsious'
while the Germans stock is appar-
entity less plentiful, as their reply is
in the proportion of one shot for tlVe.
This leads to the impression among
observers that their extended front IS
not as we'll equipped or manner as IN
previous battles.
