PARIS, Oct 26-Since the arrest here of BoO Pasha

the German government several newspaper correspond

Some them are said to have been boon companions
of Boo and one of them accompanied him on his trip to
America. One newspaper, the Petit Blue, has printed
three columns of names Of firms in Paris suspected of
enemy affiliations.
warrant is out for Castor Reuter-, French cit-
zen who founded the pacific newspaper PaX at Madrid
with funds supposed have been furnished by BoIo Pa
sha Its proGeman tone so aroused the French colony
that Reuter- said he would cease publication.
Senator Charles Humbert, owner Of the Journal
announces that he has cancelled his contract with BoIo
and refunded the $1OOO0OO paid by Boo for interest
in his newspaper Learning afterwards judicial inquiry
had begun about Boo Pasha the Senator said he offered
to return the money but Boo Pasha refused to accept it.

WAR FACTS
GIVEN I'M
FIGURES

The enormity of the losses caused
in war is well illustrated in excerpts
taken from the Congressional Record.
On October 18th there was a sharp de
bate in the United States Senate anent
the measure to provide revenue to de
fray war expenses" particularly re-
garding pension for soldiers ana sail
Ors. 1t was during this discussion
that losses of the British only were
mentioned. Senator Smoot, of Utah
was the speaker and he submitted the
following Geographic report:
British casualties reported during
the month of September total lO4,59S
divided as follows:
Officers killed or died of wounds
686; men, 1892.
officers wounded on missing, 2,151;
men, $500.
Then coming down to a closer date
read the following:
The British casualties reported fOl
the week ending today, Oct. 2, mum
bered 21,I79, divided as follows:
Killed or died of wounds, officers
ISL; men, 878.
Wounded or missing, officers, 571i
men, 1924.
These two Geographic reports all
are familiar with because they were
in the press dispatches of those dates
But now the United States is discuss
ing sending a million men to France
or perhaps a great majority of them

of thousands of men now in the vari-

the compensation to the families or
relatives provided in this bill in case
of death is paid to but 100000
families, and that the everage
monthly compensation in case Of death
be $50 per month, we can understand
what this part of the bill will cost.
The bill provides a maximum compen-
sation for death Of soldier of $50 per
month; and that would amount to $500
each per year, or total Of $12O,OOO,
600 per annum. II there are 100000
soldiers wounded during the whole Of
the war, their average compensation
under the bill no doubt will be $50 per
month. The Senators will notice that
there is SIS difference between the com
pensation for death and the compen-
sation for disability. That would be
$500 per annum. For 100000 soldiers
the amount would be $318,OOO,OOO, or
a total under the compensation article
Of $438,OOO,OOO per annum."

. BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
: FRANCE, Oct. 9. lBy MmD). - The
nickname "FIagwaggers," by which
men of the signal corps are still known
to civilians, has long since been dis
carded in the army, which has substi-
uted the title Of Buffers"
In the picturesque days of yore the
signaller did choose some lofty emin-
ence, and there wiggIed out his mes
sages with a flag or whirled out his
aching arms through the graceful
movement of semaphore, but those
days are no more. The close proxim-
ity of the German and the accuracy
of the snipers have made opportuui-
ties for these methods as rare as
weekend leave, and the signaller now
has his dwelling underground and
works in the dark after the fashion
Of the mole.
The signaller also has his beat,
. like a metropolitan policeman. He
must make periodical tours of inspec-
ton of the complex of wires under
his jurisdiction, watching to see that
nothing goes wrong with his slender
lines of communication. In the
trenches the wires run along the sides
Of the trench about twelve inches from
the bottom, just above high water
mark, at which height they are com
paratively safe from being dragged
out of place by the diverse equipment
that hangs around the infantry soldier
| like toys on Christmas tree.
The number of wires that grow up
| in an ordinary trench in the course of
few weeks is amazing. There are
only nine here at present" remarked
a signal corps officer alphabetically,
"but this is a new arench; wait until
the gunners open up a few observation
posts-the place will look like a hen
run then"
The nine wires led after various de
tours to the battalion headquarters
signal Office" This proved to be a
roomy dugout with wires entering it
from every direction A small flag
hung over the doorway.
The whole place is alive and bust
ness-like. Here a clerk is receiving
messages for transmission; there an
other is dispatching incoming mes
sages to their addresses by runners in

CHAPTER xI,

That summer Juanita's cabin rose
on the small patch Of ground bought
from the Widow Everson. for in these
hills the raising Of house is a simple
thing which goes forward subject to
no delays of striking workmen or
baking contractors. The usual type,
with its single room, may be reared
In few days by volunteers who turn
their labor into frolic. She had owed
much to Jerry Everson and to Good
Anse Talbot. for had her building

But Good Anse and Jerry, who were
tolerated by both factions. and were
gifted with a rough-hewn diplomacy,
had known upon whom to CALL even
while they had seemed to select at

The cabin had been finished just be.

CHAPTER XII.

One day In early October young
Milt McBriar happened upon Dawn
and Juanita walking in the woods.
The gallant colors and the smoky
mists OF autumn wrapped the forests
and brooded in the sky. An elixir
went into the blood with each deep
drawn breath and set to stirring for
gotten or hitherto unawakened emo
tons. And in this heady atmosphere
of Quickened pulses the McBriar boy
halted and gazed at the Havey girl.
Juanita saw Young Mills eyes flash
with an awakened spirit. She saw .
look in his face'which she was woman
enough to interpret even before he
himself dreamed what its meaning
might be.
Dawn was standing with her head
up and her lids half closed looking
across the valley to the Indian sum-
mer haze that slept in smoky purple
on the ridges. She wore a dress of
red calico. and she had thrust in her
belt a few crimson leaves from a gum
tree and few yellow ones from a pop
lar.
Juanita Holland did not marvel at
the fascinated, almost rapt look that
came into Young Milt's eyes, and
Young Milf. too. as he stood there in
the autumn woods, was himself NO
mean figure. His lean body was
quick of movement and strong, and
his bronzed face wore the straight
looking eyes that carried an assurance
of fearless honesty. He had been
away to Lexington to college and was
going back. The keen intelligence of
his face was marred by no note Of
meanness, and now, as he looked at
the girl Of the enemy. his shoulders
came unconsciously erect with some
thing of the pride that shows in men
of wild blood when they feel in their
veins the strain of the chieftains.
But Dawn, after her first blush,
dropped her lids little and tilted her
chin. and without word snubbed him
with the air Of a Havey looking down
on McBriar.
Milt met that gaze with a steady
one Of his own and banteringly said:
Dawn. pears like ye mought a got

weeks to years, and she awoke each
new day braced to hear the news of
some fresh outbreak. and wondered
why she did not. A few neighborhood'
children were already learning their
rudiments, and plans for more build.
ings were going forward.
Sometimes Jeb came over from the
brick house to see his sister, and on
the boys face was always dark cloud
0 settled resolve. II Juanita never
questioned him on the topic that she
knew was nearest his heart it was be-
cause she realized that to do SO would
be the surest way to estrange his
friendship and confidence.
In one thing she had gained a point.
She had bought as much property as
she should need. Back somewhere be-
hind the veil of mysteries Anse Havey
had pressed a button or spoken a word,
and all the hindrance that had lain
across her path straightway evaporat-
ed. Men had come to her, with no
further solicitation on her part. and
now it seemed that many were animal
cd by desire to turn an honest penny
by the sale of land. In every convey
ance that was drawn-deeds of ninety.
nine-year lease instead of sale-she
read a thrifty and careful knowledge
Of land laws and reservation of min
eral and timber rights which she
traced to the head of the clan.
As summer spent itself there was
opportunity for telling timber, and the
t.
up its drone and whine in proclama-
ton that her trees were being turned
into squared timbers for her buildings.
Once, when Milt McBriar rode up to
the sawmill. he found the girl sitting
there, her hands clasped on her knees,
gazing dreamily across the sawdust
and confusion Of the place.
A"Ye're right smart interested in thet
thar woodpile. hain't ye, ma'am?" he
inquired with slow. benevolent smile
His kindness of guise invited conf
dence, and there was no one else with
in earshot, 30 the girl looked up, her
eyes a little misty and her voice i'm
pulsive.
"Mr. McBriar." she said. every one
Of those timbers means part of a
dream to me, and with every one Of
them that is set in place will go hope
and a prayer"
He nodded alphabetically. Il reck-
on" he said. I'VE kin do right smart
good, too"
"Mr. McBriar," she flashed at him in
point-blank questioning. since l came
here l have tried to be of use in
very simple and ineffective fashion. I
have done what little could for the
sick and distressed, yet am constant

to carry on my work. Do you know of

He gazed at her fer a moment, quiz
ideally. then shook ais head.
"Oh, pshaw!" he exclaimed, I
wouldn't let no SIGH talk es tibet fret
me none. Folks round hyar hain't got
much ter do except ter gossip round.
Nobody haint a-goin' ter hinder We.
We hain't such bad people, after ALL"
After that she felt that from the Nc.
Briars she had gained official sanction,
and her resentment against Anse Ha.
vey grew because of his scornful un.
